Despite the Hubbard policy forbidding this, apparently the desperation for money overcomes all restraints. Though, as CCHR delivers no "services" I supposed they have somewhat of an excuse. But where is the IAS? The IAS repeatedly uses the fact they support CCHR, and announces their "wins" as a reason people should give money to the IAS to "eradicate psychiatry." It is a mainstay of the IAS mantra. So, how come CCHR has to hold raffles to raise money? Of course, the next question to ask about this -- are they fighting for the kids IN SCIENTOLOGY who are being abused? That is of … [Read more...]
CCHR Hypocrisy
CCHR people are amazing. They churn out an apparently endless stream of accusations about psychiatry that complain about the psychs doing exactly what they do every day- and utterly devoid of irony. Forced labor? How about being on staff in a scientology org? Or even more, in the Sea Org? Money motivation? Labelling people? This is perhaps the most ironic of all. Wogs. PTS. SP. Type 3. etc etc etc Apart from the different labels, the only thing this cartoon has wrong is that the person would be directed to the registrar rather than a … [Read more...]
Irony? They’ve Never Heard The Word
The anti-psych brigade, with Ken Cramer driving the clown car, are at it again. Change the sign in his cartoon below from psychiatrist to scientologist and it would be a far more accurate depiction. While psychiatrists may charge fees for their services, scientology is obsessed with getting people's money. There are sales courses and finding ruins and bringing up to need of change and Big League Sales and of course, MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. I don't think you could find a psychiatric text on how to go about getting money from people, but there are volumes of them in … [Read more...]
Ken Cramer — Joker and Degrader
Ken Cramer apparently thinks he is really cool. So proud of himself that he sent this out as an email to his "supporters" to prove how causative he is over psychs and their new "attack method" -- being polite! Someone with his cult mindset can turn ANYTHING into an "attack" by "the psychs." Honestly, Cramer is such a smarmy 1.1 Joker and Degrader he gives scientologists a bad name. And that's not an easy task. He's the driver of a broken down clown car of fools and he seems to think he is cruising down the autobahn at 200 mph behind the wheel of a Bugatti. But that being said, I … [Read more...]
The Wacky “Anti-” Psych
CCHR peddles some pretty outrageous claims about psychiatry But their "Psych Search" guy, Ken Kramer, is a source of wacky that even CCHR must cringe about. Here's some random stuff that showed up all on one day, starting with his clever play on "MAGA" and "Trump" : Then he has another brainstorm... Trying to manipulate Google? Hahahaha. This is the flea climbing the leg of the elephant shouting "get ready, here I come." I guess one could do exactly the same thing with respect to scientology... But I think Google searches on scientology pretty much come up with negative … [Read more...]
The “Scare-Mongering” of CCHR
It is always entertaining to read the propaganda sent out by CCHR accusing psychiatry of "scare-mongering." Anyone familiar with CCHR (and scientology in general) is aware that their reason for existing is to "scare-monger" about psychology and psychiatry. How scary is it that they are saying they need to be prepared for a spike in demand as a result of the pandemic? You bet scientology briefings to solicit “donations” are talking about the trauma and “restimulation” of people who all need help and that orgs should be getting them in.... And a "racism pandemic"? How dare they say … [Read more...]
Scientology Front Groups
Scientology has many front groups that are designed to create the impression that the organization is a benevolent group that does good work in their community. I have noted many times that the "good work" does not happen if it cannot be documented by a video team who then use the video to fundraise and for propaganda pieces about the great things they are doing around the world. Here are some very recent pitches from some of their main front groups. They tell the sheeple literally anything to persuade them they need to participate — but if they don’t they are shamed into giving money. … [Read more...]
CCHR “Taking Down Psychiatry”
This is the sort of thing that is announced with enormous fanfare by the IAS with "this is what your donations buy". When something like this is found, CCHR jumps on it and claims it as a "psych prosecution" and not only that, it is "President of the Alaska Psychiatric Association." It will be added to other incidents they can scrounge up from anywhere they can find them and become part of a typical announcement in the category of "CCHR Wins" -- “this year more psychs were prosecuted than ever, a total of 1,047, thanks to the leadership of CCHR" and then at the end "You contributions to the … [Read more...]
CCHR Uses the NAACP
This was sent to me by long term contributor Clearly Not Clear, with an introduction. I don't think anything further need be said... Do you think the NAACP is aware that the church's CCHR outreach of conspiracy, is claiming a relationship with them? I wonder how long it took some flunky to comb the human rights websites, to come up with the statistics that they came up with, to populate this transparently topical plea for bucks. Or did they make some of this up for sensationalism? The psych part especially. Whether the stats are false or true, I find their grouping of all the stats about … [Read more...]
Scientology Front Group v. Scientology Front Group
There are a LOT of contradictions in scientology. Many of them in the words of Hubbard, usually in an effort to explain why some of his "tech" didn't produce results. But there are a lot of other contradictions that stem from efforts to either make money, or create "good PR." There are plenty of examples, for example, scientology says they are not homophobic, but subscribe to the writings of Hubbard that says homosexuals are 1.1 and all the evil that flows from that. But here we have something that came across my inbox purely coincidentally. A promotional item from Narconon laying out … [Read more...]
