Brian Lambert sent in another of his thought-provoking pieces about the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. Enjoy. SCIENTOLOGY “KNOWINGNESS”: LONG LIVE THE TOOTH FAIRY AND HER FRIEND THE TEDDY BEAR!! I want to preface this essay with the thought that not everything in Scientology is delusional. Nothing can always be absolutely one way or another in a relative universe. Seeking to communicate when there is an upset, seeking the root cause of a problem in one’s mind, listening to people when they are having issues, looking up words in a dictionary, being a good student and occasionally fin … [Read more...]

There are some real gems in this one "Dr." Hubbard, the nuclear physicist expounds on his understanding of radiation. Basically, as long as you gulp some vitamins and get some auditing it can't hurt you.... State of the Nation... What to look for? When to act? What ARE they blabbering about? Meaningless words Wonder what dimension they are operating in? The world? Nobody in Perth even knows you exist. How about starting there? The planet gets a little saner? A butterfly in the Amazon flapping its wings … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Lying Denials
Everyone who has watched The Aftermath knows that scientology invariably sends in rather bizarre denials to what is being exposed in every episode. The finale was no exception. In fact, scientology outdid themselves. We have made the point repeatedly, that while scientology squeals they are being vilified and lied about, they NEVER provide ANYONE to present their side of the story. Instead they just repeat, in long-winded letters, that every single person who appears on the show is a liar. Scientology has never done ANYTHING wrong according to these letters. The pain and suffering that is … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Last Night
Thank you to everyone who watched the show last night, and to all those who were on social media. All the kind thought and good wishes and thanks were a bit overwhelming but greatly appreciated. A new chapter has begun, and as things unfold we will be sure to keep you informed as soon as we can. You can always be sure that even when you hear nothing publicly stated, there is plenty going on in the background that for various reasons we cannot announce. We like to surprise scientology with our next moves. Sometimes we have to bide our time so others can do what they need to do to get … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Finale Tonight
Tonight at 9pm A&E airs the final 2 hour episode of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. I hope you can tune in, or at least record the show for later watching. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the episode was only finalized last week. A&E could not promote it or schedule a final time slot until the episode was in its final form and signed off by the powers that be. It was a difficult process that in the end, Leah and I had little to do with. A&E wanted it to air while the voting period for the Emmy's is still open (which ends on August 29) and … [Read more...]
Cognitive Dissonance
Our old friend Terra is back with some food for thought... Cognitive Dissonance Everyone who’s ever lived on Earth has experienced cognitive dissonance. Anybody who’s ever been affiliated with a religion has experienced cognitive dissonance in spades. Cult members face this phenomenon on a daily basis. High Water Cognitive dissonance was a concept first proposed by Leon Festinger in the 1950’s. He theorized that people needed their beliefs to be consistent and correct with those they encountered throughout their lives. When faced with data that contradicted what they’d bee … [Read more...]
Is Scientology an Apocalyptic Cult?
I don't recall having mentioned the writings of L. Ron Hubbard concerning the coming apocalypse/destruction of society/end of civilization, and I don't think many others have either. But the good folks who churn out the promotion for Kansas City reminded me that this is part of the "scare" tactics Hubbard employed to motivate people to support his cause. Of course, this is not a new idea. The program we did on the Jehovah's Witnesses earlier this year gave me some insight into the grandaddy of doomsday cults. The JW's are taught that Armageddon is imminent. A literal firestorm that … [Read more...]

I reckon Clint is looking for his .44 Magnum... I suspect he would not be happy. They should have left it as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Where do they find their graphic artists? Alfraudie is back He will be working the hussle. He is the "CEO" of what exactly? The upper tenth of the upper twentieth... Just study some Hubbard and you qualify for the Mensa society. Or at least a "Who's Who" entry. The stuff is that good it will convert you from a run-of-the-mill wog into a homo novis. Nothing bashful here either... If … [Read more...]
