Rise of David Miscavige I made an appearance on ABC's 20/20 on April 29th of this year for their program about Ron Miscavige. Doing this TV show was the first time I was speaking out after almost 35 years – it was hard for me to do. My appearance (in the first 10 minutes) was due to the fact that I had a missing link not covered in Ron Miscavige Sr. book RUTHLESS: how did the rise of David Miscavige happen? ABC filmed about 20 minutes of me telling this story, but only 2 minutes was used on the show. The “church’s” response to my appearance was something on the order of –“Lois w … [Read more...]
Starting SuMP Operations?
The never ending promise of "how we are going to Clear the Planet." "Find out exactly what needs to happen to start operations at SuMP" Seriously? Dear Leader yanked a ribbon on a facility that was not ready to start operations? But he told everyone this was now rolling? That was not true? How could that be? The most ethical man in the universe is not being ethical? Just when IS this SuMP going to start broadcasting? And what is holding them up? Hell, they have a $100 million (at least) studio decked out with more state-of-the-art equipment than Diseny Studios. And they have the … [Read more...]
Scn Aftermath Episode 2: Scientology Sort Of Responds
Hurricane Leah continues to roll, blowing aside the scientology house of cards in its path. Their denials and ridiculous responses are becoming lamer and less believable by the day. Their latest effort now takes issue with the fact they harass people. Everything they do is dictated by the L. Ron Hubbard Playbook for dealing with critics. But interestingly, more and more media are following Leah's lead of treating the scientology responses with tongue-in-cheek mockery. Here is a short excerpt from E!News: In Tuesday night's all-new Leah Remini: Scientology and the … [Read more...]
Scientology Dead Agents* Itself
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, scientology wasted no time rolling out a whole new website of smear after the premiere of Leah Remini: Scientology and The Aftermath. Because of this, Thursday Funnies have taken a one week hiatus while I comment on this latest development from the fevered mind of Miscavige. Cleverly (?) titled Aftermath: After Money (no doubt Miscavige got a kick out of that, probably thought it up himself, laughed at his own cleverness and his sycophants all laughed along with him) it announces in its headline what has come to be the hallmark of scientology's "Dead … [Read more...]
Scientology The Aftermath
The first show has aired. Phew. 7 more to come. I am interested to hear what you thought -- including criticisms or things you felt could or should have been explained more/better or treated differently. The perspective of others is valuable feedback. I am genuinely curious, not just looking for ego stroking. … [Read more...]
Miscavige Musings & Mutterings
This drivel is a full page in the latest edition of Impact magazine - the IAS propaganda organ. You sort of get the idea what he is trying to say. The strange metaphors that are Shermanspeak specialties make it difficult to fathom, sort of like the front porch of eternity or whatever that idiocy was. The great Mr. David Miscavige is trying very hard to portray himself as some sort of humanitarian. Such hypocrisy. Not only does he personally infringe on people's rights with reckless abandon, he oversees an organization that abides by articles of faith to: Destroy its enemies by any means … [Read more...]
Brian Sheen Video
I have known Brian since the days of the Apollo. He is a highly intelligent, gifted man. Tony Ortega covered his story in July 2015 and has done a couple of follow ups since then. Tony posted this video a couple of days ago but I only had a chance to watch it yesterday. Brian has put together a brilliant video. The genius of this is distilling so much relevant information into a short, clear, professional and easy to follow message. Give it a watch. I think it deserves some attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xfrehGq-wI&feature=youtu.be … [Read more...]
World Orphan Day Celebration – Scientology Style
As you may have suspected, this is not about the families scientology has destroyed with its toxic disconnection policy. Parents and children forced to separate. Or children abandoned by their parents who are in the Sea Org. No, this is another scientology effort to gain positive publicity for itself by sending out a paid press release in the hope that some news starved media outlet will pick it up, check no facts, and simply reproduce it. World Orphans Day Celebrated at Scientology Volunteer Ministers’ Open House November 17, 2016 13:56 ET | Source: Church of Scientology Flag Service Or … [Read more...]
California Dreaming
Some thoughts on the latest "ideal org" to open in San Diego this weekend. Shermanspeak Ah, the magnificent prose: Follow the Pacific Coast Highway down Southern California’s meandering shoreline along a 70-mile stretch of sandy beaches basking in the most perfect weather—anywhere—and you’ll arrive to the city of San Diego. Such was the location for a sunbaked Saturday afternoon amid San Diego’s downtown skyline—a sublime setting to celebrate the city’s new Church of Scientology. The insane claims: the ribbon yanking on this building is "hailed as a moment for the American Dream" … [Read more...]
