Where is Kurt Weiland, former CO OSA International?
Journalist Peter Reichelt has been searching for former CO OSA International, Kurt Weiland, for some time. Peter provided us with a first look at his latest reporting on the subject, which he kindly translated into for us. His persistence finally paid off: Kurt Weiland, missing since 2007, found alive after 16 years -- a story by the German journalist Peter Reichelt, in collaboration with ANA (Austrian News Agency) Part 1: Tony Ortega published the cover story on July 11, 2023: Former Scientology secret-service chief Kurt Weiland, who disappeared from public in … [Read more...]
Some Background on Scientology’s Efforts to Destroy Enemies
Over the last few weeks, Chris Owen (author of many insightful writings about Hubbard and scientology, including his excellent book, Ron The War Hero) has done a series of posts with Tony Ortega on Substack describing the history of the harassment campaigns carried out by scientology. As is always the case with Chris, he is a meticulous researcher and summarizes the information in a concise and accurate way. This is important information that should be as widely available as possible, so I am combining his 3 pieces into one longer article and reprinting it below. It's fascinating … [Read more...]
More Scientology Hypocrisy
Yet again, the OSA trolls expose themselves and the Hubbard way. One of the recently more active in bots stable, "Lory Guy" came out swinging with an "applicable LRH quote." Scientology frequently claims their freedom of speech is being denied because people are "telling lies about them." In fact, they are spinning some of the tallest tales imaginable, repeating accusations that are completely disproven, in an effort to follow Hubbard's policy of muzzling/destroying their denominated enemies (anyone who says things they don' t like). Just one egregious example: they routinely state Leah … [Read more...]
Scientology in Panic Mode
My book will be available in less than a month (you can pre-order it here as a hardback or audiobook) and this is obviously causing waves inside the bubble. They are scrambling to try to "do something effective" in response to the rants from Miscavige about how this book is coming and "nobody is defending him." You can always tell what has impact in the bubble by what consumes the OSA bots in their online activities. They mostly concentrate on Leah, but over the last week have ramped up their squawks focused on me. And most of them feature my family members -- brother, children and … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
May 9th Reduced to a "special graduation" Back in the day it was a major event held at the Shrine Auditorium Ideal Scenes and Ideal Orgs It's pretty ideal in the world of scientology. At least in their minds. Well, isn't that theta He learned how to be "light and gentle" on the PTS/SP Course. Must be a different course than I ever saw. Still Going Still a "Class VIII" Still a rimless zero Trying a new angle for some PR points Pretty soon we will be reading that the VM's have "formed a partnership" … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Plenty of good laughs this week... Experience Your Own? Just by going to graduation? The thrill of fruit... Grammar fail Greg and Elizabeth has achieved.... Yo, Dave. When is the Golden Age of KTL coming? The Power of Canada! On display with the CO FSSO and Jim Meskimen? Attend live in your local org? A "live" zoom call? This is definitely going to make the whole country ideal... There are still orgs in Canada that after 20 years have gone nowhere -- Calgary, Edmonton. Let alone Toronto and they didn't even need to buy a … [Read more...]
Ryan Prescott’s Star Is Fading
Someone sent these FB posts from Ryan Prescott, along with some information about him that I was unaware of but explains a lot. Ryan is looking a little worse for wear... He's got a bit of the "I might be a serial killer" vibe to his video appearances these days. Apparently he is still shouting into empty rooms with his wild conspiracy theories... Wow, 2 libraries! I doubt "acquired" means "purchased." Donated more likely. Here is what I heard: Apparently Ryan was on staff at the Portland Org. But they let him go without a fight when his father moved back to … [Read more...]
The Scientology Facebook Police — Nothing Ever Changes
We have long heard about the "Facebook Police" of scientology. Their job is to tell people who they can and cannot be friends with. One of our faithful readers sent in this recent report and it is pretty remarkable. The PsychoTerrorCult tried to get a NON-SCIENTOLOGIST to remove friends because they are "undesirable" in the eyes of OSA. The FB Policewoman in this case is one Sabrina Scurto. She reportedly completed OT VIII in 2014. She seems to maintain a Facebook profile for the sole purpose of telling people who they should be in contact with. Don't forget, this is the … [Read more...]
Reforming Scientology?
Leah recently reminded me of this wonderful website, and in particular, this article by my old friend Jeff Hawkins. Jeff is one of the kindest, smartest and most decent people I know. When Miscavige blew him off, he lost one of the only real marketing geniuses in scientology. Jeff was responsible for the single successful marketing campaign in scientology -- returning Dianetics to the top of the NY Times bestseller list in the 80's. He is a wonderful writer -- I highly recommend his book Counterfeit Dreams -- and a thoughtful analyst of the world of scientology. I am taking the liberty … [Read more...]
