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...]
The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks
I have been nosing around the STAND League site of late, just to document what they are doing and have a record of it before it all disappears in a puff of smoke when that becomes necessary for whatever reason. I came across an article from a couple of months ago, newly tweeted out, smearing my friend of many years, Mariette Lindstein. I have written about Mariette before and her enormous success as an author of fictional novels that are drawn from her experience in scientology, including working at the Gold Base in Religious Technology Center and other very senior executive … [Read more...]
Let the Scientology Fair Game Begin
I mentioned in my post on Sunday that I would let Leah respond to the latest bs about her from Ed Parkin. He should know by now not to poke the bear. Here is what Leah has to say. As only Leah can say it. Scientology uses a practice called Fair Game, these are directives and activities that seek to discredit and destroy anyone and anything Scientology considers a threat to their vile, illegal, and criminal practices. The practice of Fair Game by Scientology, its employees and parishioners is nothing new. It has gone on for decades. Here are some of the “Operations” carried … [Read more...]
Let the Fair Gaming Begin (Again)
It's hardly a surprise that after being conspicuously absent (other than showing up as a note-taker in court), Fast Eddie Parkin has raised his particularly ugly head again. After all, Leah Remini and I began a new podcast on the subject of Scientology Fair Game -- and the only real purpose of the STAND League and Ed Parkin is to be a propaganda outlet for scientology hate and lies. They have still not realized that the very thing they think is effectively countering the exposure of their abuses, continues to provide evidence that they do exactly what we say they do. Eddie (with 61.9K … [Read more...]
“Justice 4 Mom” Advertising on Jezebel
I tend to check on my daughter "Taryn's" website occasionally and people send me things of note. Of course, it is her name and image that are being used, it is not "her" website. And there is no proof clearer than the fact they are now paying to advertise on this site. On her Sea Org pay she couldn't afford to buy posterboard to make a sign to hold up on Hollywood Blvd, let alone pay for advertising on a popular web page. Jezebel is a female oriented site that used to be part of the Gawker stable (Gawker was NOT friendly to scientology -- they posted the infamous Tom Cruise IAS Freedom … [Read more...]
We Did It!
Ah, the pride of a false sense of accomplishment! My daughter and her OSA handlers put out this happy message of Christmas Cheer. "We Did It! I got my father fired." It is pretty incredible how blatantly they follow Hubbard's dictates to cost "enemies" their jobs. Such a cheery "holiday" message from the "church" that believes "there was no Jesus" and that those who believe in him are the victims of psychs who "implanted" them. Scientology claims they cost me my job, and they are proud of this. It's not a true statement, but then again, most public utterances … [Read more...]
