					<description><![CDATA[Yes, come to Flag and you will still be forced to quarantine. But it’s sort of free &#8212; 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 [&#8230;]]]></description>

Quite fitting since Tony is Chinese/Taiwanese and it IS the year of the TIGER. Tony has been my staff member at the Riverpark Mission for 25 years. He is so pan-determined [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recently wondered whether John Mappin was a Russian Propagandist, Nazi or Fool (or all of the above)&#8230; He seems to have eliminated one of the categories and doubled down on the other two. Apparently, he is not a Nazi. His reference to being a Pureblood, smacked of naziism, so I wondered. It&#8217;s apparently code [&#8230;]]]></description>

Tony is a gold mine of information about the cult, and our chat was no exception. He documents [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to fathom the insanity of Mappin that is apparent in his social media posts (see earlier post about him here). Is there anyone other than a died-in-the-wool Nazi who would put this on social media? Purebloods???? WTF? &#160; And now he is raving about the fools who have &#8220;bought the war narrative lock [&#8230;]]]></description>

They are GIVING AWAY &#8220;free&#8221; accommodations for your quarantine stay if you come to Flag now and complete a service before March 13. You still have to pay for your food. They&#8217;re not going to give away something that costs them anything. Putting people in empty rooms only [&#8230;]]]></description>

Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies  Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter. &#160; In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Enjoying a wonderful New Year with friends&#8230; I hope you are too. I believe 2022 is going to be a watershed year in the world of scientology for two main reasons. The pandemic has taken its toll on an organization that relies on keeping people inside an information bubble that needs personal contact and briefings. [&#8230;]]]></description>
