The STAND Leagues crazies carry on as if their lies are not noticed. Sockpuppet Norm Shannon just put forth a new plea to end anti-Semitism under the guise of explaining Rosh Hashanah. He says: Hate crimes, according to the report, overall increased by 6 percent over the previous year with nearly 60 percent of the incidents targeting Jews and the Jewish community. There is no question there has been a marked rise in hate directed at Jews. Far right groups have been stirring the anti-Semitic pot over recent years. Norm goes on to quote Jewish leaders and expresses his moral outrage … [Read more...]
The Astonishing Hypocrisy of Scientology’s STAND League
The STAND League has me on a bit of a roll. This ragtag collection of "defenders of the faith" (some of them no doubt doing an "amends project" for some transgression, others doing it to gain "eligibility" for their OT levels) comes up with the craziest stuff. They try to categorize people by association. When Hollis Jane Andrews tweeted about a crazy list of duties for a babysitter job for a scientologist, she earned the ire of the passengers in the STAAD league clown car. Nobody claimed the bonkers list of demands she included were untrue, they simply went after her as a … [Read more...]
Mad Scientologist John Mappin At It Again
This guy is a walking disaster zone. He probably thinks this is "good" media. He is well known as a scientologist, in fact identified here as a "Scientologist and soft porn actor..." This is a recent tweet from him... It seems there are a good number of scientologists who have fallen prey to the Q conspiracy theories. They show up o0n social media and in emails that circulate around inside the bubble. It's not much of a leap from the ramblings of Hubbard about the government, world bank, Big Pharma, psychs etc etc to the wild claims of Q. The … [Read more...]
The “Scare-Mongering” of CCHR
It is always entertaining to read the propaganda sent out by CCHR accusing psychiatry of "scare-mongering." Anyone familiar with CCHR (and scientology in general) is aware that their reason for existing is to "scare-monger" about psychology and psychiatry. How scary is it that they are saying they need to be prepared for a spike in demand as a result of the pandemic? You bet scientology briefings to solicit “donations” are talking about the trauma and “restimulation” of people who all need help and that orgs should be getting them in.... And a "racism pandemic"? How dare they say … [Read more...]
The Hypocrisy of Scientology Knows No Bounds
Once again, scientology demonstrates "do as I say, not as I do" -- following the well-trod path of founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Here again we see the so-called "Stand League" (I prefer to call it by its true acronym, STAAD -- "scientologists taking action against discrimination") railing against anti-Semitism in one of their recent blog posts. This is their attempt to present themselves as champions of religious freedom and speech by taking a sure-to-gain-agreement stance that anti-Semitism is to be deplored. How brave. How noble. Old Martin Landon has really gone out on a limb … [Read more...]
STAND is Woke
OK, so a little more from our friends at the STAND League. The "Reverend" Ed Parkin has some vetted and cleared "volunteers" who write things for him and they put them on their STAND League blog. It is pretty much inevitable that every item somehow worms its way to rail against Leah Remini (and often me). No matter what piece of news or view they are expressing, somehow all roads lead to Remini and Rinder. This is one of their latest pieces. And I comment on a few notably ironies within it. It doesn't matter who Liv Watson is. All OSA flunkies are the same. They might sometimes write … [Read more...]
“Men of Goodwill” — like Tony Muhammad?
Here are some words of wisdom from "HAPI" (the oddly inappropriate acronym for the always small and failing lone scientology outpost in Scotland). The pitch about "men of goodwill" is taken straight from the Way to Happiness. Of course, scientologists believe they are the epitome of "men of goodwill" as everything they do, including taking people's money and breaking up families, is for the good of mankind. But this promotional piece is worthy of note for what comes AFTER the helpful advice from Ron. The example they chose of a "man of goodwill." Tony Muhammad... Apparently this … [Read more...]
Fast Eddie Parkin: Scientology Sockpuppet Hypocrite
The sockpuppet who heads the "Stand League", Ed Parkin, is the poster child for scientology crazy. Fast Eddie has been a low-level gofor in the Office of Special Affairs for many years. As I recall, he started out as Heber's administrative assistant sometime in the late 80's or early 90's and has remained a drone since then. He is the "face" of the "Stand League" and he has his "own" Twitter account. Though I have never commented on any of his posts, and he tweets at me often, he has me blocked. So do the Stand League. And like the Stand League and every other OSA twitter account … [Read more...]
Words of Wisdom from Louis Farrakhan
I am not sure who sent this to me, but it is an interesting collection of quotes from the leader of the Nation of Islam: The brazen racism and Antisemitism is breathtaking. And yet, it was just announced that Abdul Malik Sayyid (formerly Tony Muhammad), his Western Regional Director, had attested to the state of Clear... Alfraudie, in his tweet making the announcement, even acknowledges the great "HON MLF" (Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan). Scientology is SO desperate to try to attract members they are still hitching their wagon to the idea they are making inroads into … [Read more...]
The Scientology/NOI Divorce is On Hold?
The signals are getting mixed in the ongoing saga of the marriage of inconvenience between scientology and NOI. The breakup seemed almost a fait accompli when Tony Muhammad and Alfrauddie Johnson were uninvited to the annual IAS fundraising extravaganza at St Hill in November. A sure sign of trouble to not have recent medal winners in attendance and participating in the photo ops with Dear Leader David Miscavige. It was understandable given the anti-semitic radioactive glow of the NOI and TonyMo in particular. And the criminal prosecution of Rizza and Hanan Islam for defrauding the … [Read more...]
