Grant Cardone is a big fan of Donald Trump like his big Scientology donor friend Trish Duggan. Cardone recently flew to California to speak at Trump’s Coachella rally. He is now promoting his appearance at an upcoming Madison Square Garden rally. I usually try to steer clear of things political here as it is generally off topic and tends to descend into back and forth name calling. But this stuff if putting it front and center, so here goes with my observations. As I have said before, many Scientologists are one issue voters — the fear and hatred of psychiatry … [Read more...]
Scientology Celebrity Pretenders
It's always interesting to see high profile scientologists trying to make scientology appear to be something it is not to avoid embarrassment/having to answer uncomfortable questions. A couple of examples surfaced recently. One of the great scientology scam artists, Grant Cardone put a reel on Facebook (it's only about 20 seconds and well worth a look): https://www.facebook.com/reel/1061963735350614 In it he proclaims he really isn't about money, which sets the tone of what is to follow... He is actually all about spirituality. And that means his relationship with God, w … [Read more...]

The Top? Wonder what the Freewinds thinks about that? They're pretty much forgotten in the scientology world. You gotta love the “brilliant” describing the run-around-a-pole rundown... It is quite brilliant I guess making people pay to have you tell them to run in circles. They just found number 8? It's definitely "coveted" -- they sold them for $500 back when they were released. Wonder if they'll get $15 for it now? Fold Arms. Stare. We will give you dinner if you come... What is being "Beyond Victorious"? Perhaps this is OT IX? … [Read more...]
The Con Man Cometh
The great Grant Cardone is coming to do an event at Flag. Not for free of course, they’re going to use this as a chance to make money. They don't say what the price is, but you can scan the QR code (you might have more luck than I did "the server cannot be found") but if that's not good enough for you, you can "ask your Registrar about VIP options." They're trying to make this like a big celebrity “event,” pay $500 you can stand next to the great man, for $1000 get a photo op, for $10,000 you can shake hands and hang out in the green room sort of thing. For this guy? What is really going … [Read more...]

There is a bit of a backlog of Funnies. The ones that were too outdated I sent to the trash file. There are quite a lot, two weeks worth in one episode! Smile away... They're "On The Plaque" until they're not... These things are VERY temporary. The "Honor Roll" On it until you're not. These are the marks who have contributed to making Australia the first "ideal continent"... Big Thumbs Up Come on in, the water's fine. Not that many regges... Chicago is big So I joined staff. Cincinnati needs staff desperately, their … [Read more...]

Did they actually have 2 completions in one week? They never show shots of the actual graduation... More "Advanced Org" services What are these people doing? They're so desperate they are trying to attract raw public? Monumental Achievements They got some people to play at Graduation! The bar is pretty low these days... It's International(r) you know... Here's one of their events Same few people -- doesn't really look too international What I Fear Most Taking financial advice from an old guy trying to look cool and … [Read more...]
Mad Scientologist John Mappin At It Again
This guy is a walking disaster zone. He probably thinks this is "good" media. He is well known as a scientologist, in fact identified here as a "Scientologist and soft porn actor..." This is a recent tweet from him... It seems there are a good number of scientologists who have fallen prey to the Q conspiracy theories. They show up o0n social media and in emails that circulate around inside the bubble. It's not much of a leap from the ramblings of Hubbard about the government, world bank, Big Pharma, psychs etc etc to the wild claims of Q. The … [Read more...]
Cardone on Compassion, Wiki on Going Clear
The real question here is how "GC" applies his philosophy to himself. Does he fear the church? Is this why he and his beautiful bride hand over so much cash to keep the church happy? In that case, does he classify himself as the weak that listen to them? This guy is a caricature of everything that is bad about scientologists. Money and status obsessed. Arrogant. No empathy. And absolutely certain he has the answers to everything. Except perhaps how he can be such a dupe... Wikipedia on Going Clear Someone has done an excellent job with the new Wikipedia entry … [Read more...]
