The Narcissistic Personality Part 4: The Altruistic Narcissist
This is an interesting twist — at first glance altruism and narcissism seem completely contradictory. In my experience, both L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige displayed these traits: claiming to have pure intentions to help mankind, even requiring enormous personal sacrifice on their behalf, until it no longer forwarded their objective. Then it’s forgotten faster than yesterday’s news. Read the earlier posts in this series: Part 1: The Narcissist Part 2: The Sneaky Techniques of the Cover Narcissist Part 3: The “Generous” Narcissist What is an Altruistic Narc … [Read more...]

NOI is Winning the War with Scientology
This building was purchased and renovated concurrent with the Inglewood "ideal" org. It was announced as a facility that would host local groups and a place where the org could introduce the community to scientology. And offer a venue for the front groups of scientology to operate. Since the efforts to bring the NOI on board began, it has been an interesting spectator sport to try to figure out whether scientology could absorb the NOI and thereby increase its membership, or whether this might end in a colossal backfire. It has never seemed realistic for Miscavige to … [Read more...]

They've already shifted the goalposts The actual game is 11,000. Why didn't they say that? It didn't sound good, so they it under the 25,000 hopeless number. OT Teens... What an unfortunate group to be part of. Means you have been raised a scientologist, indoctrinated from an early age and think this is the only path in life. Peter Simpson? Who is he? And why would he apparently know the grand secret. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates maybe? Certainly not Hubbard... Looks like Peter could be related to Homer? Looks … [Read more...]

Narcissistic Personality Part 3: The “Generous” Narcissist
This is an article written by Darius Cikanavicius on the PsychCentral site. It's no secret that a core narcissistic trait is the lack of empathy and care for others. However, people with strong narcissistic tendencies and other dark personality traits (hereafter narcissists) do sometimes act in a caring manner, or try to appear this way. In this article, we will explore the common reasons behind this behaviour. Adulation Regular people with healthy levels of empathy are generally helpful and thoughtful people. They genuinely care about and … [Read more...]
New Haven Completed Ideal Building Fundraising – An Ideal Org “Success”
I recently came across this promotional item from June 2014. Exactly a decade ago. New Haven hit a major milestone with the complete funding of their Ideal Org building purchase! But hold on, they actually PURCHASED their "ideal org" building in 2003. And Miscavige announced it very publicly on many occasions as “proof” his ideal org strategy was rolling full steam ahead. So, in 2003 they announce the “big news” the ideal org building has been purchased, then a decade later the next big news is that they completed the fundraising for the ideal org building purchase that had occurred 11 … [Read more...]
What Happened to Taryn and Justice4Mom?
For a while, the main attack vector used by scientology against me was my daughter, Taryn. She was used as a mouthpiece a fronted a website called "Justice4mom" which ought to cash in on the general "Me Too" movement. Her mother, Cathy was often seen by her side as a good "photo op" because it was her, poor “mom,” this campaign was supposedly all about. Of course, that was just the excuse, the effort was really ONLY about trying to create negative publicity about me. Things has been silent on the Justice4mom site for about a year now. She put up one of her last posts on Mot … [Read more...]
