Things are really not going well in the shrinking world of scientology. First, the release of A Billion Years. The scientology response? Buying Google ads to promote their smear sites which have a flurry of new content. A blizzard of legal threats letters and delegations of lawyers and scientology officials sent across the country to "handle the flap." Then the upcoming vote in Clearwater for a development plan that David Miscavige must HATE -- it will result in two large condo towers right in front of the Ft Harrison, and a huge increase in the number of prying eyes in downtown … [Read more...]
Scientology TV Flatline
Not really "views." They probably mean clicks. Keep paying those clickfarms enough and they will get you a billion. This is part of the lies presented to the sheeple that there is "massive interest" in scientology and new people are "flooding up the Bridge." Don't try and make sense of the image they have used. Just read the text. The image is bizarre -- broken hearted planet? Planetary heart attack? Valentine's Day? Who knows? Here is some reality. ScientologyTV showing they have a total of 160 viewers! Most of those are probably staff and registrars hoping to find some raw … [Read more...]
Mad Hatter John Mappin Still Raving
Both Tony Ortega and I have published previous stories about crazy hotel guy John Mappin and his wife Irina. They run the very creepy "castle" in England from whence they spout their fanatical following of Donald Trump even though they are not US citizens or residents. Mad Scientologist John Mappin At It Again Now the dynamic duo are promoting Trump's new social media platform as part of a bizarre rant about Suppressives (sent out in almost unreadable white on black text which I had to enlarge and screenshot to make readable). These clowns mirror the … [Read more...]
Defending the Indefensible: Scientology TV
Of all things, STAND is complaining about The Hollywood Reporter's "biased" and "bigoted" coverage of the dismal flop that is ScientologyTV They dredge up some old stuff they have used before about the founder of THR being a communist scare merchant in the days of McCarthyism to prove that the Reporter has a "history" of bias and bigotry and that somehow makes it so today... An interesting standard that they might want to think through a little better, given their illustrious founder's checkered history and the fact that 11 leaders (including his wife) went to Federal prison... I guess … [Read more...]
Foundation for a Drug Free World — Scientology Front Group
One of scientology's most successful front groups has roped in another beauty contest winner, and hit upon a new way of gaining apparent credibility. Foundation for a Drug Free World has had some success in infiltrating a number of organizations, particularly through the work of Meghan Fialkoff. She has been covered a number of times at Tony Ortega's blog -- one article here. She is a star in the world of scientology. She was awarded an IAS Freedom medal. She is featured on scientology tv and in Freedom magazine. Many of the people she gets on board have no idea their participation … [Read more...]
Close Down Scientology TV — L. Ron Hubbard Says So
This is an email sent around to scientologists recently by one of the bubble zealots. The words of LRH are sacred. I don’t think they even read them before they pass them on half the time. They know they will look smart and get agreement if they quote LRH. So they send out anything and everything. And include the exact source reference -- something from the 50's is valid today simply because it's "important data by LRH." Everything LRH ever said is "important data." Now, the truth of what he says about being bombarded by “heavy particles,” by even a cathode ray tube TV is debatable. I am … [Read more...]
What’s Up With Scientology TV?
STAND League makes a big deal out of the "ratings" of The Aftermath and A&E. Still at it more than a year after the last episode aired. This is one of their recent headlines, exhorting Disney to "pull the plug" on A&E. The hypocrites at STAND proclaim "the audience has spoken and they reject hate speech"... Actually, the audience spoke and made The Aftermath the biggest hit A&E had when we were airing -- though Live PD had higher audience numbers, The Aftermath was their "prestige" show. Emmy nominations across 4 years for 3 seasons and numerous other awards … [Read more...]
This is Scientology Social Distancing?
Here is an email forwarded to me from the VM's in LA. They are pitching to get "supplies" for the disaster, but attach a photo showing a cluster of VM's loading (or unloading) stuff... They are not 6 feet apart. They are not even 2 feet apart. Are they really meaning to advertise they are not maintaining the mandated social distancing? Is this an old photo because they actually dont have anything to take shots of? What is going on here? And I note, they are pushing scientologyTV "It's Time to Rediscover the Human Soul" which no doubt expounds on Hubbard's theories that ONLY the soul … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Decade
Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year's Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of "Standing O" calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on sentence. At the outset, let's remember that the "turn of the decade/century" event in 1999 was held at the LA Sports Arena -- a FAR larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium. Given the unprecedented, massive, straight up and vertical expansion they claim to have … [Read more...]
Scientology Attempting to Revise Clearwater History
After Tracey McManus' bombshell article dropped on 20 October, scientology immediately began their efforts to revise history. The next day, Freedom magazines started popping up all over the city. I wrote an article addressing some of the falsehoods Scientology BS Grows Deeper Then they began trying to make a dent in the social media world to cast the article as a bigoted assault on scientology and highlight the wonderful contributions they make to Clearwater. Freedom magazine has a twitter account @Freedommag and on October 21 they began sending out tweets. This is the tweet that is pinned … [Read more...]
