Thursday Funnies

January 27, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

  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

October 23, 2021 By Mike Rinder 41 Comments

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

September 2, 2020 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

  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

August 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

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 … [Read more...]

The Hypocrisy of Scientology Knows No Bounds

August 13, 2020 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

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

July 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

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?

June 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

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...]

Fast Eddie Parkin: Scientology Sockpuppet Hypocrite

May 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 59 Comments

The sockpuppet who heads the "Stand League", Ed Parkin, is the poster child for scientology crazy. Fast Eddie has been a low-level gofor in the Office of Special Affairs for many years. As I recall, he started out as Heber's administrative assistant sometime in the late 80's or early 90's and has remained a drone since then. He is the "face" of the "Stand League" and he has his "own" Twitter account. Though I have never commented on any of his posts, and he tweets at me often, he has me blocked. So do the Stand League. And like the Stand League and every other OSA twitter account … [Read more...]

Words of Wisdom from Louis Farrakhan

March 23, 2020 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

I am not sure who sent this to me, but it is an interesting collection of quotes from the leader of the Nation of Islam: The brazen racism and Antisemitism is breathtaking. And yet, it was just announced that Abdul Malik Sayyid (formerly Tony Muhammad), his Western Regional Director, had attested to the state of Clear... Alfraudie, in his tweet making the announcement, even acknowledges the great "HON MLF" (Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan). Scientology is SO desperate to try to attract members they are still hitching their wagon to the idea they are making inroads into … [Read more...]

  On the road again... Mystery ailments and a mystery cure. Who said scientology doesn't cure physical conditions? She can drive again!     This quote is not about joining staff... Typical, they can't even get their quotes from Ron right   Talking Half-Heads? What happened here?   Another young life wasted... But she was an employee of Grant Cardone, so it's not a whole lot different. She just won't have as much free time or money.   This is all they could muster? A CLO, an AOSH and an Ideal Org and the best shots they … [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
