Thursday Funnies

March 3, 2022 By Mike Rinder 52 Comments

    What Could Be Better? I wonder if ANYONE actually attended this?   Kiddie Corner Sad as always...   The Chan Man I would love to ask him about being in Power on the 8th Dynamic and what this looks like? Would he say he is God like Nancy Cartwright infamously did?\ Also, I wonder if him being in Power on all dynamics has anything to do with the fact that he is apparently doing "In Org Live Event" in 3 cities at the same time (everyone else has to Zoom In)???   Love that tag line "We audit kids"   Still only … [Read more...]

Super Bowl BS

February 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

  Unfortunately, it's that time of year again. Each Super Bowl, Scientology does their best to litter the parking lot with fliers people have been handed out and just as quickly thrown away. Usually it is these "Drug Free World Booklets" and also Way To Happiness. And you know neither of them make mention of scientology. There is absolutely NO evidence at all that handing out their booklets "results in less crime and less drug use." These fools really believe that a pamphlet is going to stop a criminal from committing a crime or anyone from using drugs? The only PROVEN result of … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Funnies

November 25, 2021 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

  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. That is always … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

  10 weeks with Arte Maren... People PAY for this?   Amount raised - $0 This is her birthday fundraiser that's been up for a year. She is the Snr C/S of the Portland "ideal" org   Wait until you find out... Actually you have to pay more to get that ability because you really cannot confront life until you are done with OT III. And then OT V. And then OT VII. And on and on...   That's a real stretch... Many of these people OD'd -- First guy on their list, Don Simpson was in scientology for a while. Didn't save him.   Buried … [Read more...]

Do They Have Any Idea?

August 9, 2020 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

o   This promo piece just came in...   You have to wonder if these people have a clue what they are supporting? The two beauty queen pageanters seem to be more of what we have seen in the past. Meghan Fialkoff somehow managed to get her foot in the door of this world and there have been a few examples who have been called out on Tony Ortega's blog. These beauty queens are willing dupes looking for a "cause" they can say they support to sound good on their resume. Being anti-drug is a popular one. The scientology front groups make it easy for them and provide … [Read more...]

Scientology Front Groups

July 12, 2020 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

Scientology has many front groups that are designed to create the impression that the organization is a benevolent group that does good work in their community. I have noted many times that the "good work" does not happen if it cannot be documented by a video team who then use the video to fundraise and for propaganda pieces about the great things they are doing around the world. Here are some very recent pitches from some of their main front groups. They tell the sheeple literally anything to persuade them they need to participate — but if they don’t they are shamed into giving money. … [Read more...]

What Those IAS Billions Buy

December 2, 2019 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

Back in October Tony Ortega's article about Nancy Cartwright highlighted how much money people give to the IAS. More recently Tracey McManus got Bob Duggan on the phone and he informed her that the Forbes information stating he had given $360 million to scientology was in fact considerably on the low side, that is was "much more" (half a billion maybe?) Scientology constantly claims that this money is used for all their social betterment programs around the world -- it is their standard plea for more money "we need to do more good." But how much good does this money actually do? Simply … [Read more...]

Miss NY — Unwitting(?) Scientology Shill

March 11, 2019 By Mike Rinder 67 Comments

Father and daughter scientology fundraisers Meghan and Ben Fialkoff have apparently pulled off a small coup by persuading "Miss New York" to endorse them. You can see they are promoting her in their promotion here:   And here is the video of Miss NY -- you will note she doesn't say anything about what program she is endorsing, just that she is talking to kids about drugs. I would bet Miss NY knows nothing of the real activities of the Fialkoffs. They are full time scientology pitchers/fundraisers. I wonder if Miss NY understands that the news of her "endorsement" … [Read more...]
