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...]

Why Would Anyone Want To?

July 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

Why would anyone in their right mind want to enter a scientology propaganda center, let alone during a pandemic? This "Scientology Information Center" is in the lobby of the old Clearwater Bank building. It is the ONLY scientology "church" building you can walk into off the street in Clearwater. You cannot enter the Ft Harrison hotel, the Super Power building, the Sandcastle, Oak Cove, Osceola, West Coast, old Lee Arnold building, Coachman or any of the other buildings scientology owns in Clearwater, despite their claim of being "open" to the community. The ONLY building you are allowed … [Read more...]

“New” Tech

November 3, 2019 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

This "Exciting new releases" announcement showed up. First, there is absolutely NOTHING new in the realm of "Study Tech" -- it is the same stuff Hubbard announced in the 6o's and 70's.  Nothing has been added. Someone has repackaged the same old same old and is now presenting it as "exciting" and "new"... Applied Scholastics (the home of Hana and Rizza Islam -- who are still appearing all over their website despite the fact that they are proceeding to trial in their case of defrauding the government with a scam using "Applied Scholastics" as a front) is apparently trying to distance … [Read more...]

Tampa Bay Charity Coalition

August 21, 2018 By Mike Rinder 116 Comments

Another front group trying to gain acceptance, the “Tampa Bay Charity Coalition" --  somehow they leave out the word scientology from their title. Their Facebook page features one of their events in the Ft Harrison ballroom -- though it looks like they photoshopped the "Flag" logo on the backdrop so it's not readable. This "Film Festival" is a thinly disguised excuse to show their "human rights" infomercials. You can see there is massive interest in this event...   You have to wonder what an "Official Selection" means? No doubt they “selected” the infomercials … [Read more...]

Some thoughts on #scientology litigation. Hubbard: “fight on the basis of total attrition of the enemy.” Spending huge reserves of tax-free money, they bank on most not going the distance. But for those who do -- scientology has never won a damages trial.

The pressure is mounting on #scientology. The day is coming where they will be held accountable for their reckless disregard for human rights and the law. They’ve gotten away with hiding behind the shield of “religion” for way too long. #JusticeforDave https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-scientologists-came-forward-with-shocking-trafficking-claims-now-they-say-theyre-being-stalked
