The “Scare-Mongering” of CCHR

August 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

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...]

CCHR “Taking Down Psychiatry”

June 28, 2020 By Mike Rinder 21 Comments

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

June 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 23 Comments

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

June 9, 2020 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

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...]

CCHR Hysteria

June 4, 2020 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

Snark of the day. This was the commentary that accompanied this piece from CCHR (Citizen's Commision on Human Rights) that had been sent to one of our faithful readers. Unfortunately, the bad news is, that unpaid and underpaid CCHR workers are tirelessly bombarding legitimate news, newsletter, and aggregating websites, and pseudo-news outlets, with their 'facts' which they don't fact check, at all. These overworked and understaffed decision-makers are just looking for interesting topics to publish in these COVID-19 times. CCHR's massive spewing out of their bullshit articles are clearly … [Read more...]

Secret CCHR Briefing

May 4, 2020 By Mike Rinder 44 Comments

  CCHR has gone "stealth" to reveal the REAL story that psychiatry is behind the pandemic... Not sure why they would not want everyone in the world to hear their vital message? Maybe it's such garbage they are afraid they will be laughed at? Only the already brainwashed will accept the drivel they dish up.   You can bet there will be a heavy pitch for money. Every "briefing" in scientology is an attempt to get money for one thing or another. At the same time this pitch is happening, you know the IAS is sucking money out of people for exactly the same thing. … [Read more...]

Unnamed Sources

June 9, 2018 By Mike Rinder 79 Comments

What are they afraid of by never including anyone's name? I'll tell you: Either the person does not really exist, and this is just made up copy like testimonials for the local greasy spoon written by the owner, his wife and family members, or They are scientologists who happen to be "a police officer" or a "crime documentary producer" (who makes videos for CCHR...), or The people who write these have NO IDEA they have anything to do with scientology, or that their statements are going to be used to promote scientology. If their name was included someone might contact them and ask … [Read more...]

Making A Living “Busting Psychs”

October 17, 2015 By Mike Rinder 169 Comments

Our old friend Ken Kramer has gotten himself into the fundraising business. It seems to have become part of the ethnicity of being a scientologist. You can bet that he is making his living doing this. He found a little niche and is making a pitch for people to give him money to "destroy the psychs" -- he is a mini-IAS! And what better subject to get scientologists going than psychiatry. They are the ultimate boogeymen -- sent here from the planet Farsec to torture and maim the people of earth. The whole track implanters. The SPs that by nature of their diploma all want to do terrible … [Read more...]
