Thursday Funnies
Africa's Winning Bet nobody realized that... including whoever wrote this. And what "historic victory" are they trying to be part of? That LRHED was written about Portland in the 80's. Seems they have a bit of a "comm lag" Epic It's always EPIC. And they got the Energizer Bunny or Energy Driver or something who is going to bring the lightning or something. The only important thing - do not forget your wallet. That's a lot of stuff Successful. Empowering. A party. Launch to Freedom and Ability. Open House. Phew... Freewinds … [Read more...]
STAAD Scientology Conspiracy Theories
This is another piece that appears on the STAAD site. They got me to go check it out this site with their silly boycott business.... Otherwise I probably would never have seen it. While nosing around I came across this amazing piece of work. According to this genius The Aftermath is a plot by.... BIG PHARMA! I wish I knew about this... I have put her full article below along with some of my editorial comments in red.... Scientology and Conspiracy: The Real Story Perhaps you’ve come across “the real story” about Scientology on your Facebook feed, television screen or on some tab … [Read more...]
The STAAD League Boycott
The Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAAD) League has been playing the victim card for a while now and have come up with a new tactic of orchestrating a letter writing campaign to advertisers on The Aftermath. You may recall their earlier "victory" of claiming to get copies of People magazine removed from the shelves of a Target store because Leah Remini was on the cover. It was a "huge blow for religious freedom" -- even though it almost certainly didn't happen -- but didnt do much for the concept of freedom of speech that scientology spouts as one of their … [Read more...]
WTH
The crazy disaster capitalism in the scientology world is a constant presence that never seems to take a break. As long as there are natural or man-made disasters in the world there is an opportunity for scientology to make some money. As I have pointed out many times before, they are not asking for money to send these out at COST, they are selling these with a large profit margin built into the price. And as I have also commented on: why isn't the IAS springing the $50,000 it would COST to do this mailing? They certainly have the money. Finally, how do they think this is going to … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard and Adolf Hitler?
One of our regular contributors, Brian, provided this comment in response to the post about scientology comparing a Hollywood Reporter writer to Goebbels. I thought it deserved a wider audience. As they say, sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.... Well now, since we are discussing people influenced by Nazis and follow his Hitler’s philosophies — I present to you.... “But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repea … [Read more...]
Being Declared in Scientology… Kind Of
It's Saturday, time for some Terra Cognita... Being Declared in Scientology…Kind of “Being declared” in Scientology—short for “being declared a suppressive person,”—lets one know he or she is an evil, despicable, and degraded being, and that everyone associated with this person should disconnect from him or her immediately. LRH said an SP is someone who, many lifetimes ago, got squashed so severely that he or she took on the valence of his suppressor. He listed the characteristics of these people in HCOPL 7 August 1965, Suppressive Persons, Main Characteristics. “Nobody puts bab … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Somewhat abbreviated Thursday Funnies... They're Bringing In The Big Guns... Well, on second thought. Sylvia Stanard is the best they could do? Wow, they're really scraping the barrel. A total rimless zero. F/Ning as defined here means "Money to give to scientology" And Gavin Potter is an "expert" on these things because...? 35 Futile Years They are further away from clearing Orange County now than they were the first day they opened If they're so cause? How come Toronto "ideal" org STILL isnt done when they didnt even have to buy a … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Is Back
Tonight, the Aftermath is back with a new episode. I am on a short vacation with friends -- including the Headley's and Smith-Levin's and our combined 8 children (only one of whom is visible in this shot, our son Jack, but three others are taking this shot, one with camera and two holding "camera lights" directed by Marc Headley). We will all be tweeting tonight. Unfortunately, we are in the Central Time Zone so will be an hour behind the East Coast to watch it on TV but will tweet live starting at 9 EST. … [Read more...]
