Thursday Funnies

  Tourist Promo Interesting how all promo for Dublin org features the "beauty of Ireland" as the first selling point. I thought this org was put there to "Clear Ireland," the Irish don't need to go to a scientology org to experience the beauty of Ireland. They live there.   Correct Title: Scientology Winter Festival The "community" (wogs) are just there for show. They are not much use to the regges.   Kiddie Corner     Merry R6 Implant Day You would think they could at least not be totally insulting and say "Happy … [Read more...]

  We have quite a selection this week! Dilettantes Get Away Does this prize include an approved CSW from the Course Supervisor and D of P to not report to the org during the trip? (Of course there is no org in St. Thomas or anywhere else in the Caribbean other than Puerto Rico... despite the Freewinds leading the charge on clearing the planet there for 25 years)   For Eternity  For anyone who doesn't know about this -- I recommend you check it out. Scientology has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of tax exempt money to preserve the scribblings of Hubbard for all … [Read more...]

Hawking Hubbard Fiction

October 17, 2021 By Mike Rinder 50 Comments

Hubbard fiction still being peddled, now by comparing it to Dune and Foundation.  These guys will try to cash in on anything. Because these two sci-fi classics are currently getting  buzz because of new screen adaptations (though i must say every review I have seen of Asimov's  Foundation indicates it bears little resemblance to the books)  the hustlers at Galaxy Press are trying to make it seem as though Battlefield Earth is in the same league. After all, it too was turned into a film, and what a magnificent disaster that was, memorialized in numerous "worst films of all time" lists. I … [Read more...]

Hawking Hubbard Fiction

August 18, 2021 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

Our old friend, Clearly Not Clear, sent this to me with some comments…. I'm looking at the writers of the future 7 books set. It seems to suggest that 89 of these stories won awards. I doubt it. I wonder what awards they did win? Since nobody wants to buy 7 year old anthologies, they include "advice for new writers." This is somebody's bright idea. Well, it's really not a very bright idea in my opinion. Now, can we talk about Battlefield Earth on audio? Seriously 150,000 sound effects? Was that like the stat of the week? How many sound effects and farts can I record to be in screaming … [Read more...]

New revelations from @TroMcManus. Of course #scientology has records that document their abuses but claim they can keep them secret. The USSC disagrees, but they continue to assert it and when law enforcement doesn't press they get away with murder. When will it end?

Tracey McManus@TroMcManus

Valeska Paris sued Scientology last month in Tampa federal court, alleging she was trafficked as a child.

Three years ago, she tried to pursue criminal charges.

Clearwater Police couldn’t get evidence from the church.

Of course he didn’t.

When you’re second in command of a borderless totalitarian state and cult of personality you can’t risk being asked about prison camps, forced abortions, conversion therapy, forced family separations, and the first in command physically abusing his workforce https://twitter.com/RaminSetoodeh/status/1526945227382018051

Tom Cruise took a selfie with a fan after his #Cannes2022 talk. But he didn’t take any questions from the audience:

@LeahRemini @MikeRinder Thank you for brining further awareness to the authorities of this cult! Scientology uses conversion therapy which is not illegal in Ca. I have been through plenty of it with this CULT and its abuse. Im grateful now to have my free and beautiful GAY life!
