					<description><![CDATA[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 [&#8230;]]]></description>

He is well known as a scientologist, in fact identified here as a &#8220;Scientologist and soft porn actor&#8230;&#8221; This is a recent tweet from him&#8230; &#160; It seems there are a good number of scientologists who have fallen prey [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is the sign in front of &#8220;Big Blue&#8221; on Sunset Blvd. Here&#8217;s what Doug said: I&#8217;m in Los Angeles and I drove by big blue.

					<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s IAS event is going to be &#8220;virtual.&#8221; It&#8217;s a fundraising catastrophe for scientology as this is their biggest single event for raking in cash. Undaunted, they put out a &#8220;press release&#8221; on a paid news service. Of course it gets no pickup in the media at all, as it contains no news. But [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I came across this the other day. It is relevant to nothing current, it just encapsulated so much of Hubbard&#8217;s approach. His overriding concern with &#8220;bad publicity.” His remedy was not auditing &#8212; which he claimed was the only cure to &#8220;aberration&#8221; and bad behavior &#8212; but to &#8220;beat their teeth in personally.&#8221; I assume [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Marlow Stern has written quite a number of stories relating to scientology. They have often questioned scientology&#8217;s practices and have failed to regurgitate the scientology propaganda they try to feed the media. That makes him an &#8220;enemy.&#8221;  And what does Hubbard say about enemies? You threaten what they seek to protect and cost them their [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Captain David Miscavige, scientology&#8217;s capo di tutti capo, has reportedly weighed in on the COVID-19 pandemic. But apparently his words are too special to be read by mere &#8220;wogs&#8221; &#8212; or even any scientologist who cannot get into an org. He issued an IG NW Bulletin (Inspector General Network) &#8220;No. 88&#8221; where he provides a [&#8230;]]]></description>

Flaunting government guidelines recommending no gatherings of more than 10 people, scientology instead uses the pandemic as a reason to encourage people to COME IN TO THE ORG. It&#8217;s batshit crazy. Take a read and I will then try to [&#8230;]]]></description>
