Please watch the YouTube video I did on this subject with Marc Headley this evening. The fact that the Simon Wiesenthal center lauds Tom Cruise by having him be a co-chair of their "National Tribute Dinner" is puzzling if not disturbing. Back in 2011 they honored him with their "Medal of Valor" Tom Cruise is one of the recipients of the IAS Freedom Medal (he got a special one a "Freedom Medal of Valor" with a larger medal) -- this is what you see in the photo at the top of the post. Another recipient of this medal is Tony Muhammad, Western Regional Director of … [Read more...]
Tony Muhammad Operating Thetan
The Tony Muhammad (now known as Abdul Malik Sayyid Muhammad) story continues to grow stranger and stranger. You have to wonder whether he is abandoning his NOI beliefs or faking his scientology ones? Of course, he has not yet been exposed to the "Wall of Fire" and the Xenu story. That is going to be a moment of truth. Can he buy into this when it is so contrary to fundamental NOI teachings? Will he try to span the widening gap between his two commitments? Will he still try to make money as an FSM for scientology and fall away from his NOI connections? Will this affect the lower level NOI … [Read more...]
Scientology Is Offended
The LA Mayors race really got scientology hot and bothered. When Rick Caruso made it an issue that his opponent, Karen Bass, had attended a scientology ribbon cutting event, it turned scientology into a hot topic. I wrote about this previously: Karen Bass -- L.A. Mayoral Candidate So, the STAND League rallied their troops. To do what? Call and complain about the "bigotry"... The problem they have, is BOTH candidates have taken an anti-scientology stance. With the STAND League letter writing campaign (see: Scientology Massively Unpopular) apparently ineffective, they resorted to … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
What A Deal! The best investment you can make is give us your money so we can invest in real estate and we will give you a phony certificate. Financial Planning par excellence. Dinner and Graduation Enjoy a romantic evening in the grip of the regges. It's Inspiring Too! Did She Graduate Anything This Week? These orgs don't seem to have much in the way of graduates. Instead, "graduation" becomes "hear from..." while the regges hover. Yeah, Right.... "Now"??? Been working on it for decades and it's not done. What are you … [Read more...]
The End of the World
The unholy marriage between scientology and the Nation of Islam continues, and things become stranger as time passes. This is some recent promo sent in by our longtime reader and commenter ISNOI News Sister Nayyirah Tivica Muhammad is Clear, a Super Power Completion, a Cause Resurgence Rundown Completion, a PTS/SP Course Graduate and an Auditor-in-Training. David Muhammad is her husband. He has done the PTS/SP Course and some Basics courses. He may have done more. The reference to the Fall of America is taken from a book by the same name written by Elijah Muhammad. I … [Read more...]
“Spookist Scientology” — the NOI Have Changed Their Tune
Today, the NOI are in an arranged marriage with scientology. But in the 70's they had other ideas. This was sent in by a former member who found it in a publication. It is less than complimentary to say the least. It really highlights the point that scientology and the NOI are very much opposite in their ideologies. How are they bedfellows today? The only explanation is money. Because it is certainly not their beliefs. From a scientology perspective, the NOI are very aberrated "wogs" who only have value once they have learned scientology "technology" and how to use the … [Read more...]
The “Scare-Mongering” of CCHR
It is always entertaining to read the propaganda sent out by CCHR accusing psychiatry of "scare-mongering." Anyone familiar with CCHR (and scientology in general) is aware that their reason for existing is to "scare-monger" about psychology and psychiatry. How scary is it that they are saying they need to be prepared for a spike in demand as a result of the pandemic? You bet scientology briefings to solicit “donations” are talking about the trauma and “restimulation” of people who all need help and that orgs should be getting them in.... And a "racism pandemic"? How dare they say that? … [Read more...]
The Hypocrisy of Scientology Knows No Bounds
Once again, scientology demonstrates "do as I say, not as I do" -- following the well-trod path of founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Here again we see the so-called "Stand League" (I prefer to call it by its true acronym, STAAD -- "scientologists taking action against discrimination") railing against anti-Semitism in one of their recent blog posts. This is their attempt to present themselves as champions of religious freedom and speech by taking a sure-to-gain-agreement stance that anti-Semitism is to be deplored. How brave. How noble. Old Martin Landon has really gone out on a limb … [Read more...]
STAND is Woke
OK, so a little more from our friends at the STAND League. The "Reverend" Ed Parkin has some vetted and cleared "volunteers" who write things for him and they put them on their STAND League blog. It is pretty much inevitable that every item somehow worms its way to rail against Leah Remini (and often me). No matter what piece of news or view they are expressing, somehow all roads lead to Remini and Rinder. This is one of their latest pieces. And I comment on a few notably ironies within it. It doesn't matter who Liv Watson is. All OSA flunkies are the same. They might sometimes write … [Read more...]
“Men of Goodwill” — like Tony Muhammad?
Here are some words of wisdom from "HAPI" (the oddly inappropriate acronym for the always small and failing lone scientology outpost in Scotland). The pitch about "men of goodwill" is taken straight from the Way to Happiness. Of course, scientologists believe they are the epitome of "men of goodwill" as everything they do, including taking people's money and breaking up families, is for the good of mankind. But this promotional piece is worthy of note for what comes AFTER the helpful advice from Ron. The example they chose of a "man of goodwill." Tony Muhammad... Apparently this … [Read more...]
