Scientologists actually believe "OT's" can influence the weather, bring down the Berlin Wall and restore calm to areas plagued by violence. Their fantastical thinking never seems to take into account the fact that these OT's can't seem to manage to deal with the massive negative PR associated with scientology. See the arguments made by Danny Masterson's lawyers, splashed all over the media “There is a really negative view of Scientology… the general public's view of Scientology is more negative than any other religion.” Or the fact that the hurricane even came near Flag and shut … [Read more...]
“Freedom” Magazine Very Old News
Happened to see this tweet from Freedom magazine on my Twitter feed this weekend. I thought it was a new campaign they were starting. Turns out, it's just a rehash of the last Freedom mag of any note -- released in 2019. They are still playing that same old song "we are good citizens of your fair city and we just want to get along." It's a big lie. Ws then, remains so today. I wrote about it at that time: Scientology BS Grows Deeper Scientology wants only one thing for Clearwater. What is good for scientology. They have made their intentions clear -- Clearwater is … [Read more...]
Free Quarantine
Yes, come to Flag and you will still be forced to quarantine. But it’s sort of free -- and in the scientology world, that is a really big deal. They never give ANYTHING away for free. The catch here is that you have to buy their food. Because, of course, if you are quarantined you can’t go out of the building. And you can’t order food from outside to be delivered. So, you can get one of their $20 room service burgers… Can you believe they are still requiring everyone to quarantine? The US doesn't even require a negative test to fly into the country any more. Just another indication of the … [Read more...]
Scientology Businesses in Clearwater
People often ask "Is this business in Clearwater is owned by a scientologist? I don't want to give them my money." Google is everyone's friend and there is a lot of information available with a simple search. But it's not always clear. So, to help make the information known, I am publishing this WISE "Job Openings" list. These will now show up on a Google search as being scientologist owned businesses. Perhaps there are others who live in this area that could add to this list, as certainly not all scientologist owned businesses are hiring... The listings are sometimes amusing. Even in … [Read more...]
Making Clearwater A Scientology “Ideal City”
If anyone in the Clearwater community does not believe scientology is determined to own their city, let this be another warning. This woman apparently doesn't have enough to do in Venezuela (everything is going along so well there) so she is in Clearwater delivering seminars (in Spanish ?) "in alignment with our purpose of making Clearwater an ideal city." For those who don't know, "ideal" in scientology means "fully in accordance with the dictates of L. Ron Hubbard." Scientologists are learning and "drilling" to infiltrate the community. They are proud of this effort and want every … [Read more...]
Clearwater Election — Don’t Support Scientology
The Clearwater City Council election is coming up on March 15. Just over a month away. Every reader of this blog is aware that Aaron Smith-Levin is seeking election to the City Council. His opponent in the race is Lina Teixeira. Aaron has just done a video detailing specific reasons why she is not just soft on scientology, but actively works with them to influence matters in downtown Clearwater. This is something all voters in Clearwater need to know. Spread it on social media as you can. If you want to support Aaron's campaign, click here. … [Read more...]
What is the Political Affiliation of Scientologists?
Over the years, many people have asked about the political views and affiliations of scientologists. Every time I ask for questions for a listener Q and A episode of the Fair Game Podcast, this question comes up. Of course, while there can be no blanket generalization about the politics of a group composed of individuals, individualism is not encouraged in scientology. One is expected to toe the party line. So you tend to see a lot of people subscribing to the same views about everything. Thanks to Aaron Smith-Levin taking the time to count voters registered at scientology buildings in … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Not-so-secret Clearwater Political Campaign
Someone forwarded this recent scientology email blast to me. They're trying to keep it hidden. Note the "DO NOT POST ON FB" bold ALL CAPS at the end. It contains a bunch of coded language. Despite what it says, the recipients of this message know they are not supposed to actually do their own research -- they might see something they are not supposed to see. By labeling Aaron an "Anti-scientologist" nothing more need be said. Because he is an "anti-scientologist" he is automatically an "anti-social personality" (or SP). Every scientologist knows you must NOT support an … [Read more...]
Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies
We bring back one of our favorites this week, the wonderful Stefani Hutchison. Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work Stefani has done, investigating the claims made by scientology and their front groups. You can find the stories on her blog, and I am also listing them here. It is pretty conclusive evidence that when scientology claims they are "working with the Red Cross" or had a "partnership with..." or "they handed … [Read more...]
Miscavige Playing Footsie With Clearwater
Another recent story from Tracey McManus, Scientology's David Miscavige discusses 'partnership' with Clearwater recounts a recent meeting between Miscavige, the Mayor Frank Hibbard, the new City Attorney David Margolis and new City Manager Jon Jennings. It was typical Miscavige, all smiles, handshakes and positivity to try to persuade the new guys in town that he is a nice guy. Just wait until he doesn't get what he wants. Stefani Hutchinson covered the reporting on her excellent blog: Miscavige's Fresh Start: Not New, Not True For someone who has never been a scientologist, … [Read more...]
