  That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days?   Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]

Ron, Sarah and Alexis

November 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 58 Comments

In response to yesterday's post about following "In the Footsteps of Ron" at his Bay Head, NJ house where he wrote Dianetics, a reader sent me the following photographs, noting, A couple of pictures they may not have on the wall. With Sarah and baby Alexis, taken by Robert Heinlein. You can be 100% sure these photos are nowhere to be found in "Ron's Bay Head house" or in any of the "Ron" series or any other publication about Hubbard's life by scientology. Sarah never existed, according to Hubbard's statement to the media when asked about her, and Alexis was not his daughter -- … [Read more...]

In the Footsteps of Ron

November 16, 2019 By Mike Rinder 19 Comments

This is a pretty sad commentary on the brainwashed sheeple of scientology. CST bought this house in Bay Head NJ where Hubbard wrote Dianetics and his house in Phoenix where he "developed/discovered" scientology. They were "restored" to their sort of original state (can't be too authentic as wouldn't want Ron looking "tacky" or "cheap" even if he was) and are both available for "tours" that promise you can "walk in the footsteps of Ron." Of course, the only people that would be interested in such a thing are scientologists. Nobody else cares. And certainly nobody else aspires to "be like … [Read more...]

  Still quoting this from 1965... Obviously, every child born before 1965 made their 16th birthday unless some illness or accident intervened. The world did NOT end in 1981... But this is still absolute truth.   There is no way to disseminate scientology successfully Unless the person is a child or has no access to Google. End of story.   The real question is... How long will you be able to hack it?   Class VIII auditor? There's no such thing any more in this "Golden Age of Tech." And she has done KTL and LOC -- I bet her briefing doesn't … [Read more...]
