L. Ron Hubbard Has Been to Heaven: He Has the Scientific Research to Prove It

June 29, 2022 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

As a follow up to Ron's Saturn quote, Karen De La Carriere sent me this Source reference about heaven. Ron had really hopped on the crazy train the day he wrote this -- it's so out-there that it doesn't even appear in the current Tech Volumes. There is little wonder why -- it makes clear his claims that he "has no beef with Christianity" and thinks Jesus was a man of goodwill and that scientology is non-denominational are just more bs. Here are a few of the choice quotes (not even including the absolutely bizarre date, down to the seconds, when the "implant" occurred). He gets … [Read more...]

Ron on Saturn

June 27, 2022 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

"If I were on Saturn, I wouldn't believe such a stupid planet existed, where you had to convince people of a science that gives everyone the priceless gift of freedom. But it exists and you are in it." One of our readers sent this promo item to me, and was curious about where this quote came from. It's a Hubbard doozie -- everyone on this planet is stupid because they don't recognize his "science" which gives the "priceless gift of freedom." Of course, the use of science is one of his favorites to convince people that his "technology" is not simply made up, but scientifically … [Read more...]

Off The Deep End

June 25, 2022 By Mike Rinder 29 Comments

  I watched the excellent 4 part documentary The Deep End about spiritual (cult) leader Teal Swan. I had never heard of her until I saw this doc. This trailer will give you some idea of who she is: The filmmakers, Jon Kasbe and Bits Sola have done a remarkable job of showing the world of Teal Swan. They were given astonishing access to Swan and her followers over three years. What unfolds is a fascinating study of control and domination by a cult leader reminiscent of so many others. Bits Sola was also a producer on The Vow (the mesmerizing HBO doc on Keith … [Read more...]

What is a “Wog” in Scientology?

June 8, 2022 By Mike Rinder 33 Comments

The term "wog" is commonly used by scientologists. It is derisive. It is scientologese for the non-scientology world or the non-scientologist -- and they are considered ignorant (not having been enlightened by the wisdom of Hubbard), second-class citizens and lower order beings. Scientology views the world in us vs. them terms. Them are the wogs. There is debate about the derivation of the term, but there is no doubt it's an insult. Here is the definition from Merriam Webster and also the Urban Dictionary:   This is a golliwog doll... Here is the definition in the … [Read more...]

What Is An OT? Hubbard’s “OT Maxims”

June 4, 2022 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

I was recently reminded of this piece of Hubbard nuttiness. By the time the 80's rolled around, the new "tech" from Source became patently ridiculous. "Pain and Sex" and other strange rants would appear sporadically, the one here is one of the kookiest. Though of course the story of OT III is hard to top for wackiness, what with the "spaceships" that looked just like DC-8's, volcanos that didn't exist and thetans somehow "frozen" in glycol, at least there was a sort of running space opera theme and he still had enough sense to not make it public. This "OT Maxims" is pure rambling nonsense … [Read more...]

Hubbard on Doctors — Not a Fan

June 1, 2022 By Mike Rinder 11 Comments

  L. Ron Hubbard had a disdain for doctors. He believed the medical profession was in league with psychiatry and drug companies, and they feared dianetics and scientology because it would take away their income stream. If, as he claimed, the vast majority of illness and disability was psychosomatic, then the vast majority of doctors would not be needed. I have covered some of his crazier statements about what dianetics and NOTs can cure -- from eyesight to cancer and everything in between. But I have not previously covered his disdain for doctors as a profession. There are plenty of … [Read more...]

Stories About Ron — More News

May 25, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

Thought you might be interested to see what sort of turnout the ideal org in Melbourne mustered for  Tales from the Crypt night with Wick "Stickyfingers" Allcock. According to Anita Liza, the "audience was captivated"... Anita included some shots of the crowd that assembled... Unfortunately, no shots of the great storyteller himself, but the number of attendees (and their average age) says a lot about the state of the "ideal org" in Melbourne, supposedly one of the "best" ideal orgs. You know, those orgs that immediately "10X" their "expansion" once Dear Leader hisself has yanked … [Read more...]

Personal Stories About Ron — Sort Of

May 18, 2022 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

This reminds me of when they put James Byrne out to pasture to tell "personal stories" about the Commodore. All a 50 year SO veteran is good for is an event in Melbourne org? This of course is not likely to generate much revenue, so it tells you how unimportant he is seen to be. If he is in Australia it should at least be being held at AOSHANZO where there are more whales (or at least the Australian version -- James Packer no longer in the mix so the average whale size went down by a factor of 43X...) If he has such good stuff, he should really be doing this at Flag where the real whales … [Read more...]

Hawking Hubbard’s Baby Formula

May 17, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

Typical scientology. There is a situation in the US with a shortage of infant formula. An opportunity to move in with some Hubbard "tech" -- the "barley formula." I hope nobody falls for this.  Hubbard claims it is a formula used by the Romans 2200 years ago -- that "barley sustained the Roman legions" and that this concoction, featuring a liberal dose of Karo syrup (cornstarch syrup) and cow's milk is better than breast milk and commercial baby formula. Here is the page giving the ingredients and method of preparation from the Scientology Handbook.   Like much of the … [Read more...]

Apartheid Alive and Well in Scientology?

May 16, 2022 By Mike Rinder 37 Comments

I know I have commented on this before, but it never ceases to amaze me how the Advanced Org for the CONTINENT of Africa serves exclusively the tiny minority of the citizenry who are white. The photos of the graduates below are not cherry-picked. They are what is attached to the email of the "latest AOSH Africa completions." It is the same every time they send these out. Of course, dianetics and scientology from the outset have been white-centric (probably not a word, but it seems appropriate). Just look at the earliest photos of dianeticists and scientologists gathered anywhere and … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard claims his "scientific research" proves he went to heaven. He also opines how #scientology must replace the "false Gods" of #christianity and other religions. It's one of his truly unhinged scribblings that they don't want people to see.

So many people expected that #GhislaineMaxwell would walk free from this trial, but the story told by @BradEdwards_Esq in Relentless Pursuit reveals exactly how she and Epstein worked together. It's a shocking and compelling read. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Relentless-Pursuit-Victims-Jeffrey-Epstein/dp/1471195317/ref=monarch_sidesheet https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1476458297897201667

Watch #TheDeepEnd on Hulu. Fascinating 4 part doc study of cult leader @_tealswan by Jon Kasbe and @BitsSola. Also listen to interview by @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames on @alittlebitculty podcast. Cult leaders are all cut from the same cloth. My take: https://www.mikerindersblog.org/off-the-deep-end/
