Thursday Funnies

  Not a whole lot of funnies this week. But as always, there are some good ones!   The Scam Goes On How, after 20 years, people are still turning over cash for this proven failed program is hard to fathom.   Hooray for my sec check! I'm in the middle of OT VII and I got a sec check! Wow. And then I found out I was in Power! Wow. Such incredible tech!!!! But as a Solo NOTs auditor and one of the top beings in the universe, how is it that you need anyone else to clean up your OWs or tell you what condition to apply?   Oh Canada... Lagging … [Read more...]

CCHR Propaganda

June 22, 2022 By Mike Rinder 16 Comments

    The level of hypocrisy on display in scientology -- in this case, CCHR -- is astonishing. They grab onto "group insanities" and toss off a few examples, starting with "refusal to employ someone or allow them to belong" -- in the face of scientology's disconnection policy? Even beyond refusal to allow someone to belong, it takes it the next step and enforces that those who DO belong are not allowed to even speak with the person who is not allowed to belong. Then "failure to use people" -- check out the slave-labor busy work Sea Org members are engaged in. Or even … [Read more...]

  Did they actually have 2 completions in one week? They never show shots of the actual graduation...   More "Advanced Org" services What are these people doing? They're so desperate they are trying to attract raw public?   Monumental Achievements They got some people to play at Graduation! The bar is pretty low these days... It's International(r) you know...   Here's one of their events Same few people -- doesn't really look too international   What I Fear Most Taking financial advice from an old guy trying to look cool and … [Read more...]

An International Top Executive Not top enough to be named... But this is going to "blow you away" Never heard that before.   Wonder what happened? The WTH "movement" in 2014 seems to have petered out   Kiddie Corner Sad   13,000 scientology staff in the world? Not a chance -- but even if there was, each one is responsible for clearing 573,709 people? You want to advertise this?     Sounds exciting Not really.   Maybe the only way... ...they can pretend they are "allied" with a legitimate … [Read more...]

  What A Deal! The best investment you can make is give us your money so we can invest in real estate and we will give you a phony certificate. Financial Planning par excellence.   Dinner and Graduation Enjoy a romantic evening in the grip of the regges.   It's Inspiring Too!   Did She Graduate Anything This Week? These orgs don't seem to have much in the way of graduates. Instead, "graduation" becomes "hear from..." while the regges hover.   Yeah, Right.... "Now"???

  Tourist Promo Interesting how all promo for Dublin org features the "beauty of Ireland" as the first selling point. I thought this org was put there to "Clear Ireland," the Irish don't need to go to a scientology org to experience the beauty of Ireland. They live there.   Correct Title: Scientology Winter Festival The "community" (wogs) are just there for show. They are not much use to the regges.   Kiddie Corner     Merry R6 Implant Day You would think they could at least not be totally insulting and say "Happy … [Read more...]

      Graduation Cocktail Hour? They've taken it a step beyond food in Australia...   You can do the Purif here! Only at Flag, Freewinds, possibly the SO Orgs and Narconon. No Class V orgs or Missions. Because we said so.   Good News! "In celebration of the New Year, the Christmas season production bonuses and prizes are hereby extended for three weeks: December 23 and December 30, 2021 and December 6, 2022.

Thanksgiving Funnies

  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. Thank you. No Thank you. No, thank you... But in the end it's only Ron that matters.   Eradicate the Reactive Mind I've got a faster, better, cheaper idea. Don't buy into the idea in the first place. In the end, they coax you into believing you created it in the first place.   Holiday Escape Rooms? They lock you in a room with a reg and see if you can get out without going bankrupt?   Big News You can bet it has something to do with you giving them your money for their holidays.

Narconon Goes After Country Music

November 17, 2021 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

  Scientology and its front organizations (like Narconon and CCHR) live in a world disconnected from reality. They seem oblivious to the absurdity of things they say and positions they take. Narconon is now beginning to sound like prohibitionists, targeting county music for "romanticizing alcohol." Unfortunately, while contemporary country music stars continue to produce great music year after year, there are increasing incidences of romanticizing alcohol in country music lyrics, romanticizing it, glamorizing it, or even construing alcohol with happy times, carefree adventures, and … [Read more...]

CCHR Racist Hypocrisy

November 14, 2021 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

  In every aspect of scientology, the hypocrisy runs VERY deep. They accuse others of "hate" while perpetrating it themselves. The rail against human trafficking while engaged in human trafficking of Sea Org members every day. They shout loudly about anti-Semitism while supporting and promoting some of the loudest anti-Semites. And here they are again. Complaining that the APA's "recent apology for its support of structural racism understates psychiatry’s racial human rights abuses and its long history of instigating racism..." CCHR thinks their apology is inadequate. Frankly, … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard claims his "scientific research" proves he went to heaven. He also opines how #scientology must replace the "false Gods" of #christianity and other religions. It's one of his truly unhinged scribblings that they don't want people to see.

So many people expected that #GhislaineMaxwell would walk free from this trial, but the story told by @BradEdwards_Esq in Relentless Pursuit reveals exactly how she and Epstein worked together. It's a shocking and compelling read. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Relentless-Pursuit-Victims-Jeffrey-Epstein/dp/1471195317/ref=monarch_sidesheet https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1476458297897201667

Watch #TheDeepEnd on Hulu. Fascinating 4 part doc study of cult leader @_tealswan by Jon Kasbe and @BitsSola. Also listen to interview by @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames on @alittlebitculty podcast. Cult leaders are all cut from the same cloth. My take: https://www.mikerindersblog.org/off-the-deep-end/
