No Thursday Funnies this week due to Tom Cruise the cruise. But someone sent this to me as a follow up to the earlier post I had done about the use of priest/penitent files: Scientology Violates Priest-Penitent Confidences -- When It Suits Them. What is so interesting about this issue is the lengths it goes to in order to ensure scientology can assert a privilege to withhold information being turned over in a legal or law enforcement action. This issue comes on the heels of the Christofferson trial and the subsequent jury award of $39 million. The Wollershiem case was coming … [Read more...]
IAS Games — Happy Birthday Ron
I have often noted that L. Ron Hubbard knew nothing about the formation of the IAS. He did not as it was a scheme to avoid bringing money into the US and therefore outside the purview of the IRS. The IAS morphed into something completely different over the first few years of its existence, especially after the Commodore shuffled off his mortal coil to continue his OT research in parts unknown. While it is in direct contradiction to much of his policy, I suspect he would have enjoyed how much money it raked in and gotten behind it. But he didn't and we will never know for sure. But how … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Top international business consultant? He obviously runs one of the MISFORTUNE 500 companies. A BIG name... Not new people... It's just friends and family you might be able to get to look at that dreck... Bring family and friends... And your wallet, check book, stock certificates and jewelry. You know, just like in DMSMH... No colds. Throw away your crutches and eyeglasses. Cure polio. Gain an eidetic memory. Yeah, just like that. I'm sure Ohio State is down with the Columbus Org CF... They are really desperate -- … [Read more...]
Violence at the Top of Scientology
The latest internet smear on me is a video from a person (Hans Smith) who claims I punched him. That may be true, though I don't recall it and I had little interaction with him. But I have admitted (and so have many others) to punching people when in the Sea Org. At the top of scientology, if you were NOT willing to use physical violence you were considered too weak to hold your post. There are numerous witnesses who can testify to the culture of violence at the top of scientology, many of whom watched David Miscavige dishing out beatings on an assortment of senior scientology officials. … [Read more...]
Scientology Violates Priest-Penitent Confidences — When It Suits Them
This comes from another of the entirely inappropriately titled scientology internet fronts, the "Truth Newsroom". This thing, with no names or identities associated, not even the word scientology - is clearly an OSA operation. They send out a constant stream of material taken from former Sea Org members' files. They put one out from one of my confessions that I felt bad about lying as if this was some sort of proof that I was lying today -- it made no sense as I said this when I was still the International Spokesperson for scientology and I continued to be that. But the … [Read more...]
Body Death
From our friend Brian Lambert, another in his series of essays about the Tone Scale. These affirmations are the true representation of L Ron Hubbard. These affirmations are who he was - hidden behind the hypno-manipulation of his marketed messiahship. Wrapping up my analysis of the Tone Scale I cannot get past the thought that L. Ron Hubbard’s tone scale is his delivery system for manipulating “meanings and melodies” of words. He states it in the affirmations as a goal. And what is the tone scale in essence? It’s all simple words given a value, by numbers, which alter their “melodies” … [Read more...]
More on Scientology Fair Game: Black Propaganda
I have written a number of articles concerning the scientology’s Fair Game doctrine and practice. L. Ron Hubbard proclaimed those designated as "enemies" of scientology should be destroyed. It is a literal admonition to lie, trick, frame, smear, harass anyone scientology does not like. In scientology, the words of L. Ron Hubbard are the words of God -- they are to be taken literally and it is deemed a "crime" in scientology to alter, deviate from or seek to interpret his words. They are not seen as parables, allegories or things to be interpreted, they are to be followed to the letter, … [Read more...]
Accountable
Another in the series of essays about the Tone Scale from our old friend Brian Lambert. “Your authority over words is absolute. You are grandmaster of words and can do with them as you will. You know what they mean to others. You know how their meanings and melodies affect others” “You use the minds of men” - from L Ron Hubbard’s Affirmations. Making an affirmation is an unquestionable revealing of personal values. It’s a statement of affirming to attain a desired state or increase it. Please keep these affirmations in mind when reading this article or my other essays on the … [Read more...]
Grief
Another essay from our old friend Brian Lambert about the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. “You are grandmaster of words and can do with them as you will. You know what they mean to others. You know how their meanings and melodies affect others” - from L Ron Hubbard’s Affirmations. Grief In my past experience with studying Scientology, I noticed some sane human traits being definitionally degraded by some of Ron’s doctrines. And as these redefinitions became part of my personality, I found one of the casualties to be.................grief. It’s hard enough sometimes for us … [Read more...]
Desperation in Clearwater
Flag is seriously desperate to get anyone into the building for the regges to grab hold of. Flag holding "seminars" by PUBLIC to brief them on "OT" is so weird L. Ron Hubbard would be apoplectic if he had not shuffled off his mortal coil so many years ago. Flag has the highest trained auditors and C/Ses on earth. THE experts on the subject of going OT. But rather than them doing seminars on "the keys to OT" they have two local whales delivering this. Why? Hubbard freaked out when he found public scientologists "on the backs of orgs" taking “advantage” of “his staff” and “stealing his … [Read more...]
