The Hypocrisy of Scientology Knows No Bounds

August 13, 2020 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

Once again, scientology demonstrates "do as I say, not as I do" -- following the well-trod path of founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Here again we see the so-called "Stand League" (I prefer to call it by its true acronym, STAAD -- "scientologists taking action against discrimination") railing against anti-Semitism in one of their recent blog posts. This is their attempt to present themselves as champions of religious freedom and speech by taking a sure-to-gain-agreement stance that anti-Semitism is to be deplored. How brave. How noble. Old Martin Landon has really gone out on a limb … [Read more...]

Fast Eddie Parkin: Scientology Sockpuppet Hypocrite

May 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 59 Comments

The sockpuppet who heads the "Stand League", Ed Parkin, is the poster child for scientology crazy. Fast Eddie has been a low-level gofor in the Office of Special Affairs for many years. As I recall, he started out as Heber's administrative assistant sometime in the late 80's or early 90's and has remained a drone since then. He is the "face" of the "Stand League" and he has his "own" Twitter account. Though I have never commented on any of his posts, and he tweets at me often, he has me blocked. So do the Stand League. And like the Stand League and every other OSA twitter account … [Read more...]

Fast Eddie Update

April 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 62 Comments

Just as I like to check in on my "daughter's" site, I also like to check in on Fast Eddie Parkin every now and then and his crazy Twitter feed. Leader of the STAND League, Ed Parkin is an OSA flunkie last seen in public sitting in the gallery of one of the hearings on Val Haney's legal case taking notes to report back to the higher ups. Let's just start with an amazing piece of hypocrisy. Parkin is known for jumping on the bandwagon decrying violence against Jews. But at the same time he supports hate-filled  anti-semitic rants from his bedfellows at the Nation of Islam. And then … [Read more...]

Words of Wisdom from Louis Farrakhan

March 23, 2020 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

I am not sure who sent this to me, but it is an interesting collection of quotes from the leader of the Nation of Islam: The brazen racism and Antisemitism is breathtaking. And yet, it was just announced that Abdul Malik Sayyid (formerly Tony Muhammad), his Western Regional Director, had attested to the state of Clear... Alfraudie, in his tweet making the announcement, even acknowledges the great "HON MLF" (Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan). Scientology is SO desperate to try to attract members they are still hitching their wagon to the idea they are making inroads into … [Read more...]

The Scientology/NOI Divorce is On Hold?

February 11, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

The signals are getting mixed in the ongoing saga of the marriage of inconvenience between scientology and NOI. The breakup seemed almost a fait accompli when Tony Muhammad and Alfrauddie Johnson were uninvited to the annual IAS fundraising extravaganza at St Hill in November. A sure sign of trouble to not have recent medal winners in attendance and participating in the photo ops with Dear Leader David Miscavige. It was understandable given the anti-semitic radioactive glow of the NOI and TonyMo in particular. And the criminal prosecution of Rizza and Hanan Islam for defrauding the … [Read more...]

The Rise in Hate Crimes Against the Jewish Community — Scientology’s Role

January 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

https://twitter.com/i/status/1222202928972402693 This statement by the Attorney General only highlights and confirms what is apparent to everyone in the country. Hate crimes against Jews have reached an unprecedented level. Behind these crimes are vile words that incite acts of violence. One of the major promoters of anti-Semitic hate is Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. And in turn, one of his main mouthpieces is Tony Muhammad, Western Regional Minister of the NOI. Minister Muhammad is also the poster child for the ugly marriage of convenience consummated between the … [Read more...]

You learn about what they've tried to do to me on @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder's podcast.

We talked about some of it in the interview.

But I don't care...Scientology is a paper tiger.

@yashar This whole week, I’ve been wondering how many people Scientology has following you in the streets or working to hack you. I know the answer isn’t zero. I don’t recall ever thinking that about someone speaking out against the Catholic Church.
