If you are a resident of the City of Clearwater, please get out and vote for Mark Bunker's re-election to the Clearwater City Council. He is the only real accountability scientology faces from any government official or agency in Clearwater. They intend to make Clearwater the "first scientology city" on earth. They have made headway on that objective, buying up hundreds of properties while the city was asleep at the wheel. Don't give them a win by getting rid of Bunker from the city council. … [Read more...]

Long Island Gets a Building
An article last week announced scientology's purchase of a property on Long Island. Long Island has been one of the long-term tiny, failed scientology orgs that has never amounted to anything. Suddenly, they are flush with $15.2 million…. This is a sign that Miscavige is finally breaking down on the ideal org program. It's been 20 years that his scam has been in place, and there are still plenty of orgs all over the world that have not even purchased a new building, let alone renovated it. There are also a dozen or so that purchased buildings years and years ago and are still not ev … [Read more...]
Scientology’s UK Troubles are Mounting
A new article in The Guardian details the latest problem facing scientology in the UK. They have certainly been on a roll of bad news of late. Alex Barnes-Ross is a one man wrecking crew. You can see the string of stories of scientology catastrophes in just the last 6 months at his excellent website Scientology Business . The latest setback is reported this way: A Scientology-linked addiction charity accused of subjecting vulnerable people to psychological drills that left them “broken” and “traumatised” is being investigated by Britain’s charities watchdog. The Charity Commission said i … [Read more...]
The L. Ron Hubbard Birthday Event is Today!
Join the fun this evening for 2.5 hours of AI generated Shermanspeak delivered in the weird cadence and tone of David Miscavige. Hear the incredible (ie beyond belief) exploits and accomplishments of Ron - the greatest man in the history of this universe. Enjoy the full calisthenics work out as the faithful rise and sit back down and rise and sit back down again in a series of forced standing ovations as regular as the tide. Watch as the Birthday Game winners are presented, their lack of anything accomplished papered over with flowery language about being powerhouses and champions and winning … [Read more...]
Scientology Bullies Billboard Company
Scientology managed to bully the billboard company into removing the Aftermath Foundation billboard. They folded like a cheap tent in 72 hours. Pathetic. But, rest assured, knowing what a huge button this is for scientology, the Foundation is already working on alternate plans that are going to not only reach our target audience, but piss them off even more. This is the statement on the Aftermath Foundation website reprinted in full as it gives all the details. I encourage you to support this effort by donating what you can to th Mar 14 In … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Lots of LRH birthday announcements -- I didn't include them all because they are just repetitive.... Everyone is welcome... As long as we recognize you as a scientologist in good standing with a current photo. No wogs allowed. They've lowered the price! It's now a bargain at $8,300 for a bunch of CD's. And, great news. They got approval from Bridge to sell them at a discount. But don't show your face in the Flag bookstore. You are stealing their potential commissions on new stuff. LA Org donating money to Albuquerque? Guys, LA org is failing. … [Read more...]
It’s March 13th – Where’s Ron?
One of the two major holidays in scientology commemorates the birth of L. Ron Hubbard on 13 March 1911 in Tilden Nebraska (the other is the publication date of Dianetics on May 9, 1950). Hubbard occupies a unique place in scientology. He is revered almost like a God. Scientologists consider him infallible -- his every written and spoken word to be taken as truth and applied literally. If Hubbard says there are implant stations on Mars, no scientologist doubts this "fact." When he proclaims that smoking doesn't cause cancer, not smoking enough does -- they known he speaks the truth, as … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Attempted Cover-up: Aftermath Foundation Billboard Creates Panic
The new Aftermath Foundation billboard became an instant hit. Scientology is so desperate to prevent any of their sheeple from seeing the phone number on the billboard that they rented a cherry picker and then a scissor lift to try to hide it. The latest photos above come courtesy of Jeffrey Augustine at his excellent Scientology Money Project blog. Of course this sort of obvious attempted cover-up draws more attention to the forbidden billboard, but it also raises questions about just how insecure scientology is that they panic about their flock seeing a billboard offering a phone … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Billboard on Fountain Ave
There is a new billboard in Hollywood, and it is right next to Big Blue. It sits literally on top of what used to be known as the Apollo Training Academy (ATA) which was home to the Cadet Org back in the day, also the PAC RPF for a while and is now used to print promo. It is directly across Fountain Ave from Bridge Publications and a stone's throw from the AO. The billboard was unveiled this morning at 8:15am. Here is a shot of Phil Jones with the billboard in the background... Phil was instrumental in getting this billboard up. You may recall, in April 2016 he … [Read more...]
A Social Media Expert Analysis of SPTV
Jefferson Hawkins sent this article to me, written by Monia Ali on her substack exiledfan: Activist fandom and the defanging of the anti-Scientology movement Unfortunately, it contains fancy terms -- it would be more understandable if she used simple language… but it's enlightening nevertheless. The conclusion is this (along with the second footnote from earlier in the article): What started as a fight against Scientology has transformed into a fight against the main character of the week, diffusing the motivated indignation against the big bad into negative attachments to the people who ha … [Read more...]
