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...]
Vote for Mark Bunker Today
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...]
