Despite what scientology says, apparently people are NOT “Curious?” At least not to hear the official propaganda from scientology.
The problem with the internet is that it makes it so much harder to hide your bs.
This is an image from Google Trends. It is not doctored. It’s not lies from bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the internet. It is available for anyone in the world to see (including the scientologists). No bias. Just raw numbers comparing the interest in scientology tv to the interest in Scientology The Aftermath (don’t forget, The Aftermath is not currently airing new episodes).
This is the description of what this graph represents.
Miscavige spent tens of millions of dollars, perhaps a hundred million, putting together this TV channel and the scripted, rehearsed and acted infomercials for scientology that run 24/7.
Is anyone Curious?
We thought not.
Maybe it’s time to change their billboards.
I live in Williamsville, N.Y. (a suburb of Buffalo), and ever since Scientology and the Aftermath I started seeing ADs for Scientology and even hearing ADs on the talk radio station here promoting the channel (which I’m glad I don’t have that provider because seeing it would make me vomit). Makes me want to vomit every time I hear or see them. My friend used to work in a mall here and she always told me “if anyone approaches you about a Stress Test run the other way”. They must be getting desperate. I just turned 40 and only within the last year have I started seeing these ADs. I know we have a Scientology Center in Buffalo. Can’t drive by it without wanting to be physically sick.
There is ZERO knowledge, ZERO technology in “Scientology”. It’s all pure insanity that hemorrhaged out of the twisted mind of a maniac addicted to a typewriter.
Lawsuit settled….very interesting….better than to chance having the “little man” have to appear in a Courtof Law to testify about anything…

I’m happy for Laura. God, what she’s been through! So typical of the cult to drag it out as long as possible all the while knowing they’d never let the Dwarf testify or be deposed. God, they’re despicable. But never mind, very well done, Laura!
They don’t seem to care how MUCH $$$ it cost “them” to fight any lawsuit….that is because the $$$ does NOT come out of DM’s pocket…it comes from the sweat & hard work of the Sea Org members & the members who pay thousands and thousand for courses to nowhere. They HAVE to win at all costs as in “attack attack attack”….hoping that the person will tire and give up their fight. When all comes to being lost….the “band” decides to tell the “little man”…”Pay up or you’ll be in court sitting in the hot seat”. End of story, they pay up to SHUT UP & get this OUT of the public view.
Looks like Allison Mack is in for more trouble, along with Rainier and the rest of them…..why why why was THIS investigated when the same words apply to another well known “group”…..
Mike, an off topic question for you if you don’t mind:
By dragging out this case, isn’t it likely that the cult spent far more on attorneys’ fees than what they gave Laura? Just curious about your take on this, unless you’re planning an article about it, in which case, no worries, I can wait.
Yes, I would love to hear/read your take on this case, Mike. I’d also love to see you and Leah do a segment on this case and maybe even some of the other cases the church settled and gagged.
On the Front Porch of Eternity,next to the skull should be a Scientology TV proclamation:Never was so little achieved with so much money.
The only thing that makes me ” Curious ” is wether Scamology will act like one of the many shopping channel s out there and give the clients their money back if not satisfied , I THINK NOT !!! .
In fact the only people that showed any interest would be the ones that were looking for a good laugh , in fact I can still hear them laughing now .
What a total joke these people are , you would think that after all the real stories that have come out about them over the years they would have grown a brain and changed there ways , Opps sorry I forgot – Miscavage does not have a brain just a vacant space between his ears , guess that gives him more room for all the BS that he spouts from time to time .
There’s one of these in my city that wasn’t there two weeks ago. I’m guessing the billboard has people streaming into the org ?
Davy Face, you’ve got the meanest little davy face
There’s not another one could take your place, davy face
Your poor stats are slumpin’, you sure sell lots of nothin’
Davy face, I’m up in heaven when I’m far from the Int Base
I didn’t need a shove, ’cause I’ve had enough
Of your little davy face
Oh, I LOVE this one!
MJM, this is the funniest one yet!
REMINDER… The newest Tom Cruise movie, “Midlife Crisis: Fallout”, is coming out on July 27.
Please, everyone, go out to the cinema that night, and see and support ANYTHING BUT Tom Cruise.
He is the face of scientology, and he must own it. Boycott him and his criminal organization.
To all celebrity scientologists, I wrote the press release for you. Please use it:
“While I have gained some benefits from the practices of scientology, my conscience can not allow me to remain a member of an organization that has a proven track record of human rights abuses. I beg forgiveness from anyone that was influenced by me to become a member of scientology, and for anyone that was hurt by my membership.”
If you spoke these words, or something similar, we will support you. Until then, we will boycott your projects.
Wow, scientologists take note.
Your so-called “leader”, David Miscavige, threw a Hail Mary pass into the abyss, spending an obscene amount of parishioner donation money, all for… NOTHING.
Nobody gives a f*** about scientology TV, except for the laughing stock it is, and the occasional beer drinking game.
This is the best your leader could do? What a colossal failure!
Way to confront, Miscavige. You couldn’t confront your way out of a paper bag, you sociopath thug. It is almost cute how useless you are.
David Miscavige couldn’t confront his way out of a wet paper bag in torrential thunderstorm.
As an outsider (never been a Scientologist) it seems to me like Miscaviage is trying to climb up a greased rope. He is loosing control of not only Scientology but possibly his mind as well.
$camology statistics: A drunken snail with a pen glued to it’s shell staggering across a piece of laminated blank paper.
Love it!
$TV…… Nothing to see…. Keep moving along…. ?
I can’t wait to see what excuses DM uses to escape this money pit and shuts down this tv channel.
BTW, I went to take a tour of the Orange County Idle Morgue. The tour was pretty cool. All 6 floors of it. They wanted me to give them my address & phone number. I declined their wonder offer.
Not much is happening inside. It looks they have about 12 to 15 students. And boy do they want you to watch Scientology TV! They even gave me a booklet about all the shows on Scientology TV. I can’t wait to see them!
15 students?!?! Ugh. Way, way too many. Sigh.
Six floors?? What’s on them? How did you feel being back in that environment? How did you get away without giving your info? Details please!
Miss Q, I can actually be charming when I want to. And the girl who was giving the tour was very nice. She was saying how important ‘help’ is. I don’t know what she was talking about. But, very few students. And, as I said, they want everyone to watch Scientology TV. She was insistent that I watch all the shows on Scientology TV. I told her I would…but, the pamphlets, somehow disappeared.
I also saw them righting down the license numbers of the cars parked there.
Outstanding intel gathering, OSD. “Not much happening inside…12 to 15 students.” Terrific that you got them to give you a full tour! So, looks like all their hopes are pinned on Scn TV now, the poor devils.
A Commendation is going into your SP Folder.
Humbly tendered as a gift to Dave:
I’ve paid no dues
Time after time
I’ve done no sentence
But committed big crimes
And bad mistakes
That’s all on you
I’ve had my fun getting in Mike’s face
And I’ve come through
I am the champion, my friends
And I’ll keep on fighting – till the end
I am the champion
I am the champion
No time for losers
Cause I am the the champion – of the world
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
I’ve gotten fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I’ve had a ball
Yeah it’s been a bed of roses
To hang with Tom Cruise
I consider it my power before the whole human race
And I aint gonna lose
I am the champion, my friends
And I’ll keep on fighting – till the end
I am the champion
I am the champion
No time for losers
Cause I am the the champion – of the world
Brilliant!!
Settlement reached in Laura DeCrescenzo case:
https://mynewsla.com/crime/2018/07/23/settlement-reached-in-former-members-suit-against-church-of-scientology/
Everyone needs to click on to the link above.
Fantastic news. To those still on lines, head for the hills and fast. If you think the IAS regging was intense before it’s now going into horrendous overdrive. Miscabbage has to replenish the mega millions that was settled.
Very happy for Laura. I personally wish Leah and Mike would bring up this case. Whistleblowers are bringing about the only positive changes we have seen in this church. If it werent for the whistleblowers the leader of this church would probably still be beating his staff, forced abortions would still be in full force, members would still be pummeled to give give give every penny they have to this church for nothing. I’ve heard rumors that staff are getting paid more and are treated better and the RPF is gone.
Thank you whistleblowers.
Mary – “I personally wish Leah and Mike would bring up this case.” Exactly, I thought the same. Since Laura probably can never discuss anything about this case because of agreements, I pray that this will be discussed at length by others in the media and hopefully Mike and Leah. Would be fantastic to disclose this whole story to the world.
The “big being” Miscavige is not in control of his world. All he can do now is react to it. Hardly a posterboy for scientology, is he? As if any improvements in the lives of staff and sea org had anything to do with Miscavige’s good will.
He is a sick deviant sadist. Any changes for the better are because he is threatened.
The little coward is in full blown panic mode. And he should be.
I think this is amazing:
“…Lawyers for the Church of Scientology and a former member settled a lawsuit she filed nearly a decade ago, in which she alleged she was forced to work long hours before [Laura Ann DeCrescenzo] was a teen and was coerced to have an abortion at age 17, lawyers for the parties told a judge Monday. …
The church was a defendant in the suit along with its Religious Technology Center. The suit’s allegations included forced abortion, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, unfair business practices and wage and hour violations. …” mynewsla.com
So, the church dragged this case of horrible abuse out for more than a decade, but when it came to them going to court and all the dirty shit becoming public, they caved and settled. CO$ is slime, criminal, and horrific.
Slime? yes. Criminal? yes. Horrific? yes?
Surprising? No.
This is really $ci standard operating procedure.
Paul – “So, the church dragged this case of horrible abuse out for more than a decade”, yes exactly and spent the millions and millions for the lawyers to do so. And in the end only to settle. So all of you UTR still on lines, get it, this is where your IAS donations are going to besides all the capricious needs of Miscabbage.
There are a LOT more people than just Laura Ann DeCrescenzo who will be coming after scientology now. It is profitable to complie evidence of scientology crimes and blow the proverbial whistle.
Oh Dave Miscavige, you have pissed it all away. Great job there, little guy.
… compile, even… oh the tortures of rage-typing when you only have leaves as limbs!
Hey Mike, can you work on the editing tools with your site host?
Or not, I don’t give a fuck.
And it only took a decade. Very, very happy for Laura!
So they will be running this story on their network since it is about them right? It would give a huge boost to their ratings in my humble opinion!
Looks like Davy’s play thing has gone a little limp hey? For a man who has access to everything that Scientology has to offer… pretty bleak outcome. Them dang SPs, ruin everything they do!
Remarkable technology Scientology, it doesn’t work, but if you repeat it over and over, someone gets declared, simple really. It keeps the tech pure.
It’s pretty pathetic that they’re using The Aftermath’s popularity to try to recruit people. I saw DM’s video on the Scientology website, “You’ve probably heard of Scientology. In fact, every 6 seconds, someone Googles the question, ‘What is Scientology?'” Yes, yes I’m sure they do. But no, it’s not because they’re “Curious?”
I think the first time I googled scientology had something to do with Tom Cruise…maybe the time he went after Brooke Shields for using antidepressants to combat her postpartum depression. I remember reading about engrams and e-meters and thetans and just being dismayed that Tom Cruise bought into this nutty stuff. So, yeah, anyone who is sci-curious won’t start with Cult TV for information; they’ll start with Google, because Google is your friend!
Everything will change when they will have an ideal Scientology TV!!
Oh, absolutely! We all better get ready for the crowds that are suddenly going to appear.
To quote Anonymous: “Epic Fail!”
The first show I saw on $cnTV was on
Human Rights! My view of this channel is it’s like handing a comedian great material, every day. 🙂
I’d love to see Dave do stand up. He could channel Henny Youngmam. “Take my church…please”.
LOL!
DM won’t pay SO members $1/hr, but doesn’t hesitate blowing $100 million on TV network. Despite its slick production, Scamatology TV is just not interesting enough to hold the attention of folks outside the bubble. How long can they afford to burn this kind of cash?
The more they try to reach out into public media spaces, the more they expose their weak numbers.
EVERYTHING related to electronic media is recorded and analyzed, $CN can’t spin google analytics or the pitiful numbers on their app.
I would guess that it might better say, either,
Enforced?
Inhibited?
No? or
Refused?
‘Refused’. Story of my life.
That’s because you inhibited the desire you were curious about and thus engendered an ARCx of long duration which aggravated the situation. Mazeltov!
WTF?!
You might have out Int and a wrong item over M/W/Hs that block comprehension. Hope this helps.
“Curious” is OBVIOUSLY the wrong button (should be “ENRAGED?”) But there you have it Scientologists, proof your leader Miscavige is continuing to gaslight you by altering and corrupting the “data” in the “scene” in order to create the “apparency” that the Titanic sails on unfettered by the iceberg called The Aftermath.
I find it utterly disgusting that Miscavige considers Scientologists THAT STUPID by hey, why not? Hubbard groomed the path in creating gaslighted and indoctrinated people. Persistence in blind assertions of Scientology lies (in plain view of the truth) is not an indicator of an “ethical being” it’s the sad picture of a fully indoctrinated victim who refuses the key to the idealogical jail cell they helped build for themselves and others.
Our billboard:
“Disgusted? We thought so.”
What kind of a “church” does this? Umbrellas and boom boxes to try and shield Sea Org members from “Suppressive Persons” ? These Scientology people are freaking NUTS! ? See https://youtu.be/fKXnghpxUf4
I bet half those poor souls were from other countries and wondering wtf they were involved in. It’d be nice if a rescue bus could be parked right there, with cameras and guards to save escapees from being pulled back.
Hymn of the sheeple:
We’ve grown accustomed to the lies
It surely makes the day begin
We’ve grown accustomed to the tune
That’s broadcast night and noon
The claims, the touts, to drown our doubts
Are second nature to us now
Like breathing out and breathing in
We were serenely independent and content before we met
Surely we will never be that way again, we’re set
We’ve grown accustomed to the hate
Accustomed to our fate
Accustomed to the lies
OMG – true; funny; sad
We’re not curious. We Americans are angry, like we were angry about German National Socialism.
The “curious” part of Miscavige’s “mystery sandwich” is no longer working because today 99% of Scientology press is BAD press which satisfies the curiosity of what IS Scientology: It is bad. The 1% of their “good press” lasts only as long as OSA stooges can maintain a “con” on public officials to support their social betterment front groups. Once these officials discover it is really a Scientology front group (Thank god for Rod Keller), they back-down or backout.
In the 1970’s and 80’s before Miscavige took over Scientology, I talked about Scientology to random people on trains and planes. Most had not heard about Scientology and some demonstrated a curiosity. Today nearly everyone has heard Scientology is some kind of nut case cult and/or a menace to society. The only thing they are curious about is who are the nut cases besides Tom Cruise and why are they a menace to society??? Well, THAT is why they watch The Aftermath.
A & E should adopt Miscavige’s advertisement by running teaser ads: “Are you curious about Scientology??? Watch The Aftermath.”
Scientology: where the greedy can feed on the weak with impunity.
Unlike Mike’s tag line, Something Can Be Done About It, with Scientology’s policies written in stone, it’s more like Nothing Can Be Done About It.
Quite true. Scientology is NOT in the Condition of “Non-Existence”. The cult has no need to “make itself known” because everyone ALREADY knows about it, and not in a good way.
Well, it appears to me that hardly anyone is interested in Cult TV…what was that? Really? Ok, ok, Scientology TV. Either way, no one is subscribing.
Hey I was interested enough to watch it for about a minute. There’s nothing like a religious leader in a fancy suit to inspire confidence. After all, Dave is a confidence man.
Now that’s interesting – Scientology, you can’t even give it away. Only through lies and coercion can it be “sold.” Sure expensive make believe hey?
Once again it can be commented, if it worked, this blog wouldn’t exist and the Aftermath would be how you feel the next day after a great night out.
Subscription to cult TV is probably mandatory now for the Still Ins or at least for those on VII.
Let $cieno TV run rampant. Rampant I tell you!!! Every day of its operation, $cieno TV drains the Clam coffers more and more. Anyone who wanders by $TV will watch for few minutes and laugh their asses off and then stop on the Knife channel, because Knifes are very shiny….
Knives. Not Knifes.
Scientology has hit another fork in the road by spooning out all that drivel.
Of course google trends is a big scam by the psychs.
We all know that.
I certainly do. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be friends with the psychs. I certainly would.
Google is not your friend.
Probably best to just change the channel.
Now that’s the advice I’ve heard all day!
Hear, hear! I logged onto that channel the other day and all I could see were those videos they show on the FART machines in the orgs! What is the point of showing videos from the org on the internet? I’ve got something to air on that network that will really entertain people and it’s a Scientology reboot of “The Munsters”.
Ready? Here goes:
A group of Sea Org members show up on the Munsters’ doorstep to body route them onto services. When Herman answers the door, their TRs go out after getting one good look at him and they take off running. Inside, Grampa realizes that they’re Scientologists and sends Spot running after them. They manage to temporarily elude Spot and return to the org to report on the ordeal they just went through. They return to the house with the ED for another visit. This time Grampa answers the door, recognizes them, and again calls for Spot who eats the entire group in one swallow. We end with Lily commenting how she wishes people wouldn’t visit them before Spot has been fed.
Now tell me THAT wouldn’t get people to watch Scientology TV!
Per the dictionary curious means ‘eager to know or learn something’, yet, it is already known that the ‘church’ of scientology is a criminal organization that has perpetrated scams and abuses on its parishioners and staff.
So, there is nothing new to know or to be eager to learn about such an institution.
This tells me that DM might really believes his own bullshit. Why else would he embarrass himself so publicly? From the free side o the cult, one can clearly see that this ‘network’ (24 hour infomercial) would never be sustainable. Now they’ve got to keep THIS sham going too.
As I am writing the above I just had a cognition, albeit non sequitur: The main thing $cientology made me MORE able to do is…. is deal with $cientology! Whoa
Write up your success story and send it into the Org. They can count it as a stat. ?
Keep up the good work
I live about 10 minutes South of the Clearwater Scientology headquarters, the Fort Harrison. Several months ago I began noticing the “Curious”…(We thought so) signs up and down US 19. Ummm…hell no. What I am curious about is when Scientology might be leaving town once and for all. I (and myriad others) would love to see down town Clearwater returned to the citizens and visitors of Pinellas County. I wish I could afford a few signs of my own to put up and down US 19…”Release the captives of Scientology”. Keep up the good work Mike.
I like your style, Ylfrith. Carry on…
ylfrith,
You are totally correct; a myriad of folks would LOVE to see the cult vanish and the city return to normal. This is from talking with many, many of them and hearing their broad ranging disgust for it. Right down to a manager of a “goodwill” store who told me they would not accept all the cult books I would donate. The response was “we do not wish to appear to be supportive of the cult”. After other such incidents I finally took them all to the dump.
Hi y, I get that the majority of CW ppl want the cult out. However, can you explain to me why the ppl in CW keep supporting the block parties, xmas Wonderland and all the other “community” bs the put on? I get very frustrated when I see how many ppl show up for these events. Why keep supporting them??
The billboard would have been so much better without the presumptuous ‘We thought so.’
But of course, scientology cannot resist the haughty status of supreme beings
Yes, i had the same thought, Zola. Smug bastards.
You got that right.
I see that giant billboard EVERY TIME I get on Interstate 4 from 275N near Ybor. And EVERY TIME I see it…..I feel like hurling MEST all over my car.
Mike….you are doing so much good. Keep Going!!!!
“Maybe it’s time to change their billboards.”
Curious about why we lie so much and so repeatedly? We thought so.
🙂 Good one!
Curious how to get your confiscated passport back? (We thought so.)
