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...]

"Christmas" seminars... On how to make money. Only $50... I doubt Kermit would appreciate this But it is so typical of scientology who threaten and sue people for using their trademarks at the drop of a hat "Certified" Happiness Education Specialist Translation: Learn how to make a commission pushing WTH booklets The largest private relief force on earth Swings into action again. All 2 or 3 of them... And they have to ask to get 2 or 3? The largest in a decade... May have to swing by and take some shots. Sure it … [Read more...]

An "Extravagaza" On Wednesday night. Should be a big draw. Maybe they can get the Palestinian community to show up in support... Damning with Faint Praise This worth a promo piece? They will feed you... If you just agree to sit through this stuff. It's like one of those Time Share offers or "your cemetery plot awaits, come for a free dinner at Rudy Tuesday's to find out how to secure it." What ideal org alliance? I thought California was done? And does this poster make ANY sense? You could be Olivia Newton-John? Why? How would that … [Read more...]
The Sole Cause of Decline in This Universe
Hubbard created an environment in scientology of "Us v. Them" -- a hallmark of cult indoctrination. You must have an "enemy" upon whom you can lay blame for all failure/terrible conditions and if you can then convince your followers that you are the only one who understands the dangers and can vanquish this scourge and set your followers free, then you have them hooked through fear. And if you can then also promise unlimited happiness/spiritual freedom/eternity then you have both the stick and the carrot. L. Ron Hubbard the "whole track SPs" as psychiatry. He at first sought their … [Read more...]

Anything to get them in... Magic. Music. Dance lesson. Painting. Desperation to try to get "bodies in the shop." Featured Attraction? Now it's a "jam session" at a new time Why I joined staff? It made sense. Gosh -- did they tell you about the hours and the pay? And the futility of it all? Just guess the answer to this riddle... They would use the same tagline for "Talk Therapy or Torture" -- anything a psych does is torture. Ron tells us so. Absolutely no fundraising We are done with … [Read more...]
Where is the IAS? Part 4,764
OK, where is the IAS for the 4,764th time? They always claim that the "CCHR campaigns" are "what your donations buy." Really? How come CCHR is always fundraising? And can't even put up a billboard? Not even 10% of their goal raised in 6 months. Don't you clubbed seals see what is happening? Are you really this blind? By the way, CCHR, the "Billboard Babes" managed to get a billboard UP in a matter of weeks.... … [Read more...]

Don't worry, you will... Many times Seriously? Next. Ideal Survivor -- where the last person to resist the regges wins. I bet this will be a lot of fun for the family. Get the kids up there pledging their piggy banks. How about an ideal uniform Or at least a clean one. The Chan Man is back Along with Raffy the Rascal. A pair of grifters of the first order. Yeah, scientology will do that to you... Delude you into thinking you have the solutions. Funny how nothing was actually resolved. Just that she thinks they're "not … [Read more...]
Stolen Valor: Ron the War Hero
Tonight, at the Fort Harrison Hotel, scientology will once again try to cash in on the claimed "fact" that their founder was an accomplished War Hero and recipient of a "Purple Heart With Palm." Anyone unfortunate enough to be hoodwinked into this event with the offer of a free dinner, valet parking and some insincere flattery (insincere because scientologists believe all "wogs" are unfortunately ignorant) should take a few minutes to find out just what it is they are supporting. If anyone DOES show up, you can bet there will be photos taken and their names and likenesses will be used … [Read more...]
Where is the IAS?
Scientology always wants to have its cake and eat it too. And they want you to buy the cake. And they want you to give them money so they can buy a cake. The never ending demand for money is one defining feature of scientology (along with lies, serial abuses and familial destruction). Itβs the same story with ideal orgs - give us your money to buy and renovate buildings that we will own, then give the IAS money so they can buy and renovate the same buildings because this is what they do with your money. βBut I already gave to CCHR/ideal orgs/WTH campaign/planetary dissemination etc … [Read more...]
Scientology and Psychiatry
You trace what is wrong with this planet and you trace it straight to psychiatry. L. Ron Hubbard If there is one thing everyone can agree upon about scientology -- ardent fans and ardent critics alike -- scientology HATES psychiatry and all things psychiatric. Why? Hubbard originally sought the blessing of psychiatrists and the American Psychiatric Association for his theories in Dianetics. When they rejected him as a quack and Dianetics as "nothing but the bunk," they instantly became his sworn enemies. Overnight he shifted from seeking their approval and support to proclaiming … [Read more...]
