Scientology’s Latest Response to A Billion Years
Scientology has come up with a new tactic to add to their smear videos, "Open Letter", legal threat letters and Google Ads. They are really scraping the barrel now. It seems that over the weekend they ordered people to buy Ryan Prescott's "takedown" of A Billion Years and then write glowing reviews about it! I've not seen this done before. But they have gotten enough people to fork over $3.50 that this is now listed as a "Best Seller" with 147 glowing ratings... You know these are false, because if you have ever read any of the previous drivel churned out by Ryan Prescott, you would know … [Read more...]
Where Did Scientology’s Spokespeople Go?
You used to see scientology spokespersons in the media. I was one of them for many years. So was Heber Jentzsch. I escaped. Heber was put in The Hole and became so physically incapacitated he could no longer appear in public (and Miscavige didn't trust him anyway). Tommy Davis was the "it boy" for a while, but he also departed, though he remains a Miscavige brown-noser ion his post-Sea Org life. If you look on the scientology website they list a number of "spokespersons" who actually don't speak: Karin Pouw was never allowed to talk publicly, though her name … [Read more...]
More Panic in Los Angeles
This is clearly part of the internal propaganda campaign that Miscavige is implementing to try to paper over the large cracks in the PR dam for the scientology public. The bad news is rolling in day-by-day, especially in LA. So, time to send out the SuMP team and film "massive dissemination" happening at "Dodger Station." That they have to beg for people to show up so that their activities can be filmed is VERY telling. That their message is now "We're here" -- as in, "Not YET gone" is pretty telling also. The walls are closing in on scientology. Winter is coming. … [Read more...]
The Yingling Factor
As everyone who reads this blog is probably aware, CBS Mornings featured a piece on A Billion Years yesterday morning. If you haven't seen it, you can watch it here. The piece was delayed for some time as scientology went into a full court press to prevent it from airing. They sent Monique Yingling to New York, with a delegation of scientologists and another lawyer to dissuade CBS airing it using the usual threats and false claims. In the end, when they realized they were not going to succeed in spiking the story altogether, Yingling was put forth as the scientology … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything. The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country? What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money. The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there... Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why? Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]
A Billion Years: Some Media
So they're collected in one place, here are some of the recent interviews I’ve done for a A Billion Years. Scientology has been playing Whac-A-Mole trying to stop the word getting out with their usual array of legal threat letters, delegations of lawyers and scientologists, taking down podcasts (temporarily) with phony copyright claims etc Unfortunately some media still give their empty threats credence, but those below obviously did not… There’s a lot more to come. Today Extra Channel 9 Australia Patrick Bet David Podcast Banfield on NewsNa … [Read more...]
