This is something she talks about a lot. Sociopaths, when it suits their purpose, can be charismatic.

The “New” Org Board
So much excitement over nothing... I mentioned this earlier -- Miscavige is promoting that the "Golden Age of Admin" includes a "new org board." And now, of course, the sheeple are parroting him -- announcing a "new Class V Organising Board." But if you read on, you will see it is not in fact "new" but VERY old. "Restored to pure LRH." This is the FEBC Org Board from 1968. It was subsequently modified numerous times, while Hubbard was still running the organizations and he did not continue with the "FEBC Org Board." What is so remarkable is that when Miscavige released … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Lots of Easter promos this week, just kept it to one... It's World Renowned And it's "visually spectacular." They are taking it on a "global tour." So why are they doing it in Los Angeles? The real thing is right there -- not their half-baked traveling version... It's Easter Remember, the man on the cross is a figment of the R6 bank. Flag is at it again Hubbard's ashes are churning up the Pacific as the Mecca of Technical Perfection panders to FSM's to try to drum up some income. The L. Ron Hubbard Hall is going nowhere... We rarely hear … [Read more...]
The Insanity Inside the Scientology Bubble Grows
U Another demonstration of how utterly unreal Scientologists are. They are indoctrinated to think they are taking over the world, and they buy it -- yet in reality are having zero impact on anything. But it’s even worse than that. For some reason they insist on announcing their incompetence/ineffectiveness to the world at large. They are proud of the fact, or literally too stupid to understand what they are saying, that there are 54 nations in Africa and 1.2 billion people — but in 74 years they still only have orgs in 2 of those 54 nations and have only reached a few hundred thou … [Read more...]
Sociopathy Part 5: The Covetous Sociopath
See earlier posts in this series: Sociopathy: What is a Sociopath? Sociopathy Part 2: The Traits of a Sociopath Sociopathy Part 3: The Creation of "Its" Sociopathy Part 4: The Importance of Authority and Obedience There is a particular strain of sociopath that is especially odious… The covetous sociopath. Dr. Stout defines covetous this way: an inordinate desire for the possessions of others. She explains that not all sociopaths are covetous. Sociopaths do not always have a covetous. nature-some are very differently motivated - but when lack of conscience and co … [Read more...]
March 13 Smoke & Mirrors
They held their dead man's birthday party last weekend. Unsurprisingly, it was a hype-fest that seems to be perfectly described by the immortal words of Macbeth: Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. They put a bunch of the "thinking big exponential expansion" news onto their website and sent it out as a press release -- much of which will be complete mumbo-jumbo to the non-scientology public. I wanted to address a few of their c … [Read more...]
What Happened to Scientology in Russia?
When I was writing the recent post posing the question about whether Miscavige would show up to yank his ribbon in Paris, I tried to verify whether he had gone to Moscow for their ideal org, and also the status of the St. Petersburg org. I was surprised to discover when you search for scientology orgs in Russia on scientology.org -- it draws a complete blank. It only shows missions in neighboring countries when you enter "find a church" and type in "Russia"... Google it and there is a press release from 2011 announcing the opening of the first ideal org in Russia, in … [Read more...]
Will Miscavige Dare Set Foot in France?
Alex Barnes-Ross revealed the scheduled opening for the delayed Paris Ideal Org as 6 April. The big question is whether Dear Leader Miscavige will be in attendance. My prediction is that he will not. He fears the French government and that they might seize the opportunity to arrest him. Remember what happened to Heber Jentzsch when he went to Spain and ended up in prison? Miscavige did not attend the Moscow ideal org opening either (though scientology tried to pretend he did by starting their story about the opening with a sleazily worded "Mr. Miscavige declared blah blah blah" implying … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
A little thin on the funnies this week. Everyone is super occupied with March 13 celebrations it seems -- I have only included one representative as they just get so repetitive. Free food if you come to March 13th event Though not sure how many takers there will be for dinner at 3:30. It's very early even for the blue hairs who make up most of their public. This new practice of offering food to entice people to events has become pretty much standard. It's literally the ONLY thing scientology gives away (though the hidden cost is becoming prey for the vulture … [Read more...]
Clear Channel Outdoor Cowardice
Clear Channel Outdoor have proven to be tremendously cowardly. When scientology first began putting pressure on them, they contacted Phil Jones and said that they recommended the Aftermath Foundation billboard be moved to another location. The Foundation sent a letter to CCO asking them for the reasoning and explaining why a different location would not work unless it was visible from one of the scientology buildings. The letter also noted that there was absolutely nothing controversial about the message on the billboard. They didn't respond. 36 hours later the billboard was torn … [Read more...]
