This email arrived with me yesterday about a guy running for the US Senate in California, letting scientologists know to vote for him because "he is a Scn. on ASHO lines." They want to get the word out that he is a scientologist, so I am giving them a hand. His website gives no indication of any scientology affiliation, though this cryptic entry under his "Political Biography" sounds awfully like one of those scientology Police Activities League buy-offs that happen all too often in Hollywood: Offered financial support to Police Support Youth Programs to aid in drug programs with … [Read more...]

Journey with Ron
This promotional item was distributed some time ago, I am just getting around to publishing it. Scientology continues to try to raise money for the "L. Ron Hubbard Hall" -- another white elephant that will eventually be paid for by "Sea Org Reserves" as a means of using excess accumulation of funds. But it will be milked for everything possible until then. It is interesting that scientology has continued to use the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, a venue that seats 2300, for nearly 3 decades. No graduating to larger venues to handle the massive growth and increases in scientologists in … [Read more...]
Scientology Free Service
Scientology often claims that it does NOT require money before auditing services will be provided. Anyone who has ever been in a scientology org KNOWS this is a lie. But scientology continues to make this claim, because it makes them sound "humanitarian" and beneficent. It is also one of the lies they foisted off on the IRS, claiming a large percentage of their services were delivered "free of charge." Of course, they did not mention that "free services" are "introductory" services, the ones designed to get you in the door and sitting in front of a "registrar" who gets you to pay for your … [Read more...]
The David Miscavige Mag
Apparently taking a page from Oprah Winfrey, Dear Leader has commissioned his own magazine "David Miscavige." The difference is, of course, that Oprah's magazine is actually about things other than Oprah. This would appear to be more like something published by the PDRK PR team about Kim Jong-un than a magazine simply bearing someone's name like Forbes or Oprah. Or perhaps it is really more like a "Ron" mag, the hagiographic publication that purports to detail "Ron's life" but in fact merely presents pictures and articles that try to portray him as a "humanitarian", "yacht captain" or … [Read more...]
Time, Place, Form and Event Part 11
The eleventh installment of the first draft of a novel written by our old friend Terra Cognita. Our Sunday Serial. Terra welcomes all suggestions and feedback -- this is draft -- you can note them in the comments. Chapter 61 I walked into my bedroom and said, “We’ve been invited for dinner.” Roxy—fully clothed—rolled over on her side. “With Dev and Cindy?” “I wish. With my dad and brothers.” “They know about my situation?” “A little bit. They don’t know everything.” Roxy leaned up on her elbows. “You don’t look real happy.” “I like my dad and all that. He’s cool. It’s … [Read more...]
More of the L. Ron Hubbard Playbook
This is a direct quote from a policy by L. Ron Hubbard of 15 Aug 1960 DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS The bold-face is mine to highlight some of the most disturbing passages. The object of the Department is to broaden the impact of Scientology upon governments and other organizations and is to conduct itself so as to make the name and repute of Scientology better and more forceful. Therefore defensive tactics are frowned upon in the department. We are not trying to make the Central Orgs and HCOs "be good". We are trying to make their reach more secure and effective. Only attacks resolve … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Ideal Org? They quote Hubbard talking about building the FUNCTIONS and use this to persuade people to give money for a building. Nuts. Old People Seminars He is probably too old to audit. Otherwise they would have him in the chair collecting $1500/hour. Become employable... So you can hand over what you earn. Looking very humanitarian... Wonder where these guys found the money? Why Pay? They do these "exclusive, one time only" briefings for free all the time? Everyone knows they are just fundraisers. Victory is at … [Read more...]
Inside the Mind of a Scientologist
This recent email gives some interesting insight into the mind of a bubble-dwelling scientologist. From: Francis Weilgart Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2018 To: YOU Subject: Excellent patter for starting a conversation At Venice Beach on Sunday I went up to some dozens of folks and said, "I have an excellent thought for the day." 9 times out of 10 they wanted to hear it. (My predict on how ready anyone is to receive comm is quite good.) "The most basic art form is a beautiful life... as a work of art." "So you create your life as an art form. More fundamental than music, painting, a … [Read more...]
A History of Man
In one of his more famous brags about his research and discoveries, L. Ron Hubbard wrote the following in the introduction to his bizarre 1951 book History of Man. This is a cold-blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years. The test of any knowledge is its usefulness. Does it make one happier or more able? By it and with it, can he better achieve his goals ? This is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner. By its use the thousand abilities Man has sought to recover become his once … [Read more...]
