RB's schedule was interrupted by some required dental attention, never an activity conducive to humor. I selected an oldie but goodie for this week... … [Read more...]

BIG BIG BIG **** BIG BIG BIG **** NEWS!!!!!!!!
Surely, the ALL CAPS, asterisks, exclamation points and misspelled word signifies the announcement that the planet has been cleared? At least ideal Southern California? Or even just The Valley? After all, the magnitude of this news is no exageration [sic]... Alas, the 6X big news is that you can win and be awarded by handing us your money. Woohoo. What a thrill. You hand over the cash and we will not only "award" you, we will tell you that your money is worth twice as much, so you can be twice as proud! You get a $20,000 certificate and you only have to give us $10,000. Who could … [Read more...]
Ken Cramer — Joker and Degrader
Ken Cramer apparently thinks he is really cool. So proud of himself that he sent this out as an email to his "supporters" to prove how causative he is over psychs and their new "attack method" -- being polite! Someone with his cult mindset can turn ANYTHING into an "attack" by "the psychs." Honestly, Cramer is such a smarmy 1.1 Joker and Degrader he gives scientologists a bad name. And that's not an easy task. He's the driver of a broken down clown car of fools and he seems to think he is cruising down the autobahn at 200 mph behind the wheel of a Bugatti. But that being said, I … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Emmy Win
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone concerned for the wonderful finale episode of The Aftermath which was recognized with our second Emmy last night. We were nominated 4 times and won twice, which is a pretty remarkable record. It takes a LARGE number of people to make any TV show, it took an especially large number of people to make a complex, live audience show like that one with a subject matter that was very difficult, and particularly in light of the fact that Danny Masterson had not been charged at the time. Let me start at the top. A&E were an amazing family to be part … [Read more...]
Episode 8: Fair Gaming Scientology President’s ex-Wife
This week Leah and I interview Karen De la Carriere, the former wife of scientology's disappeared President, Heber Jentzsch. Karen was the highest level scientology "technical person" -- a Class XII Case Supervisor. There have been less than 50 Class XII C/Ses in the history of scientology. Perhaps no more than 10 who trained directly under L. Ron Hubbard like Karen. Karen and Heber had a child together, Alexander, who was born into the Sea Org. He was raised with my children. Karen is one of the most harrowing stories of ongoing Fair Game. Of … [Read more...]
The Largest Virtual Event in History
Well, you may not "love" it.... But it is happening today and according to them it is not only huge -- bigger than the Oscars, the Emmy's or any other virtual event -- boy is it exciting. You get to hand over more cash for the 8 orgs that have STILL not gotten their new empty building open, nearly 20 years after this ridiculous "ideal org" program began. There's not a drop of hype to be found anywhere. If you want to see what you are missing out on, here it is: You really have to wonder if these people ever stop to think about what they are doing? They have had an "ideal … [Read more...]
“Portrait of a True Leader: David Miscavige”
Fast Eddie Parkin put out a beauty of a brown-noser tweet a few days ago. Even by Eddie's low standards, this one was exceptional. His 60,000+ "followers" managed to put together 4 "likes" and 8 of the 10 comments were, to put it kindly, not complimentary of the COB. Then I clicked on the article. OMFG. It runs the gamut of obsequiousness that would be embarrassing for anyone other than a dyed-in-the-wool sociopath. I am not going to rehash it here, I will simply excerpt the fawning descriptions of the great man by one Joel Anderson (someone who may have shaken hands … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
All-American Hero
This guy is an "icon" and "all-American hero" because he has given some of his ill-earned cash to ideal org campaigns, but more so because he has persuaded others to part with their money. Who can forget his wacked out video on Tony Ortega's site: "You're going to pay this money fucking eventually"? It is an interesting microcosm of the crazy world of scientology that this is what is lauded. He is a hero figure for scientology. The ONLY criteria for being a hero, humanitarian, icon, champion or any other title you can think of is giving money. While Hubbard said it was the "lowest … [Read more...]
The Wacky “Anti-” Psych
CCHR peddles some pretty outrageous claims about psychiatry But their "Psych Search" guy, Ken Kramer, is a source of wacky that even CCHR must cringe about. Here's some random stuff that showed up all on one day, starting with his clever play on "MAGA" and "Trump" : Then he has another brainstorm... Trying to manipulate Google? Hahahaha. This is the flea climbing the leg of the elephant shouting "get ready, here I come." I guess one could do exactly the same thing with respect to scientology... But I think Google searches on scientology pretty much come up with negative … [Read more...]
