Though you have to wonder what he means by “Offered financial support…” Doesnt sound like he actually GAVE anything does it?
He also talks about implementing some “tech” into the education system.
Google his name and scientology and you find he completed his objectives in 2003 as recorded in Celebrity mag.
He does not stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the Primary and if any Republican gets into the top two they have no chance against a Democrat (California conducts “jungle” primaries –all candidates for Senate are in the primary regardless of party affiliation and only the top two appear on the ballot in November), but I thought it worth lending a helping hand to spread the word about his scientology affiliation.
Public service performed for the day…
Note: Scientology seems to be making an effort to move into the political arena, though the scientologists try desperately to hide their affiliation:
Fake Christian Joy Villa’s aborted train-wreck run for US Congress first brought this to light — see another excellent article by Jeffrey Augustine on his blog yesterday.
Then Brent and Aimee Jones in Nevada (see Tony Ortega’s articles about them).
Now Mr. Nabliba.
Wonder if any scientology candidate will ever have the courage (or be foolish enough?) to be honest about their religious affiliation. It’s another indicator that scientology has not achieved any sort of mainstream status. The Mormons have Senators and Congressmen and even a Presidential candidate. Scientology can’t even get anyone elected in Clearwater where they claim to have a huge voting block.
Steph Collins says
Mario Nabliba was in the Sea Org at CC many moons ago (late 89s-early 90s). He married Suzanne Crowley, who was in the SO for years, a Cl 8 auditor. I do not know them anymore, she disconnected from me 8 years ago. She was Dr Megan Shields office manager for years. I think he is from Portugal originally. I’m not surprised he is running for public office…just sayin’.
Katy Lied says
Just to pile on with the spelling errors, here is a quote from Scientist Nabliba’s book, The American Scientist and Diplomacy:
“…we all know that eating health is part of what is need to build as part of our IT Diplomacy:
One must know how at least considered a simple Math without the extrapolation: total 20 Amino menus — 12(that your buddy Produce) = eight Amino acid (that are the essentials Amino acid), i.e. our buddy do not manufacture it.”
Now if I could just figure out which of my buddies produces the menu of 12 amino acids, I could hit him up for a loan.
KatherineINCali says
Dear lord. That tortured mess appears in a BOOK? How very embarrassing.
Peabody says
You might have to aks him to find out what he means.
Valerie says
https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-000992877 He says Portuguese Guinea, which is what is mostly now Guinea-Bissau. English is probably his fourth or fifth language therefore not as fluent. Let’s try not to engage in racist-tinged teasing since most Americans only have one or two languages. There’s enough to make him an undesirable candidate solely on being a scientologist!
Katy Lied says
(mildly): Assuming that as an American I (or anyone else) only knows 1-2 languages is pretty racist, don’t you think? It’s not the horrific misspellings and terrible grammar, it’s the hubris that led him to publish a book that he never checked or edited, shades of El Ron.
You do realize that you’re reading his bio completely manufactured by him?
Valerie says
His academic background (https://www.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-000992877) says Computer scientist, and CompSci degrees don’t require Bio or Chem in most universities even those with GE requirements for the area of “physical sciences” will recommend they do the theoretically related Engineering course instead. Even some Physicists manage to avoid Bio, but rarely avoid Chem since Chem has more applicability. My never-in Engineer hubby didn’t originally know the Bio stuff either until I started studying it (as it’s related to the area of Anthropology etc.) when I returned to university post-leaving cult.
But in case you’re curious
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/problem_sets/aa/aa.html
this will help you learn how the body does that.
Teasing him for English errors isn’t nice though, since how’s your fourth/fifth language going? If you’re American or Aussie you probably only have two (at most) so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ let’s just stick to the fact that as a scientologist he believes easily proven false, harmful stuff. Picking on his language is racist.
dwarmed says
He is running for a position in the U.S. Senate. He should have a good command of the language he will need to use in his job. That’s not racist to point out he doesn’t have a basic job requirement. He’s not just an average resident.
Gary says
Just for info, there are 32 candidates running for Senate in California. On the official ballot, Nabliba’s occupation is listed as “Scientist”. In the California Official Voter Information Guide mailed to all voters, containing statements by candidates, only 17 Senate candidates provided information about themselves. Nabliba isn’t even listed. So – my guess, his only motive in running is an opportunity to solicit campaign donations. After the June 5th primary, he can slip the cash into his pocket. Slick.
Samantha says
His position on gun control is quite peculiar.
From his website:
“Almost all mass shootings can be traced to psychiatric drugs which means handling the mental health of a nation with a technology that works, not drugging people.”
—
While some Republicans frame school shootings as being a mental health issue,
they usually support having more psychiatric services in schools (not less). This guy has some other angle though.
Wynski says
Not true Samantha. As many people now know that there have been zero civil mass shooters that were NOT users of powerful mind altering drugs, most people of that ilk are calling for LESS drugging.
WhatAreYourCrimes says
You are doing a great service to scientologists everywhere Mike.
Mr. Nabliba is far too humble to publicly announce his membership in scientology. He would win in a landslide if he were to do so.
He is so ethical, he wants to keep a level playing field against his opponents in his run for office. If the public knew he was a scientologist, he would win FOR SURE!
That is the same reason why so many celebrity useful idiots have been quiet about scientology for quite awhile now, especially when their summer blockbusters are about to be inflicted, I mean unleashed, on the public. They know that if the public knew how neck-deep they were in scientology, there would be no chance for the other box office contenders. They are SOOOoooOOO ethical, those scientology celebrities.

Even if this guy wasn’t a cult member, most people wouldn’t vote for someone who’s website is filled with grammatical errors and faulty punctuation. Someone needs a proofreader, stat.
Rachael says
I work in a company owned by scientologists but am not one– and their website is CRAWLING with grammatical errors. I sent a lengthy email offering to proof everything and fix it and it was declined.
Scientologists think they are too big for mistakes so small, like grammatical errors.
No ragrets–not even a single letter ?
KatherineINCali says
I love that you offered to proofread…lol. Excellent. Not surprised at all that they rejected said offer. Their arrogance won’t allow them to admit mistakes.
Have the owners ever tried to get you to read any of Hubbard’s nonsense or recruit you?
Rachael says
They actually force employees to take courses here. They are all issued by WISE–and we have a dedicated course room and the CEOs mom is certified to administer these courses.
They promote them to the employees as “business courses” and are claiming that they will “help us be successful in our posts and improve our lives outside of work”; they deny through and through that they are scientology but L Ron is the author so I instantly knew and did a ton of research to protect myself lol. I’m a little crazy but I know how dangerous they can be.
Sadly they target a specific demographic when hiring here. They look for young, impressionable and easy to sway “yes man” type women who will blindly do as asked and not speak up about things.
They used to be optional courses for payraise, but then no one wanted to do them so they made a “new policy” that they are a part of “mandatory training”.
Every employee is required now by policy to take these courses.
I had a full blown meltdown and told them that I would take the first 3 that they required of me prior to them being mandatory, but that I refused to take the rest because it makes me uncomfortable that they are Scientology based. The course instructor immediately got defensive like “You probably only hate Scientology because of that Leah show and you know nothing. These courses don’t say anything about scientology you have no proof these are scientology.”
I would love to print out the course sheet from the WISE website and circle all the ones they have us take and underline the Scientology in WISE and say HERES YOUR PROOF but that’d get me fired! Lol
I played it off as that I had no problem with Scientology and anyone else’s choice to believe in it, and that my only gripe was that I myself do not consider myself a religious person and it made me uncomfortable.
Out of all the employees here, I am the only one not taking the courses and I get singled out ALL the time. They are extra hard on me to produce and meet with me once every few months to try and get me to take them.
I have been actively looking for a job, but finding one with similar duties for comparable pay has been hard. They pay me JUST enough that it’s hard to go elsewhere. I truly love my job and my coworkers who I know aren’t Scio (i do my research on each employee lol super sleuth) but cannot stand management. It makes me so sick that they administer these courses under the guise of being something else and that most of the girls here don’t have the know how or care to look into it and do their research. They’re just drawn in by the fun work environment and all the positive PR our CEO is always pumping out to keep people here.
Finally Free says
I’ve worked in a few Scieno companies. Only one actually paid me a decent wage. You just have to play the game. Just because you take a few courses doesn’t mean you’re being brainwashed. Take the courses, act like you really get it, and you’ll be guaranteed job security and a raise. If not, you’ll get singled out and eventually fired. I’ve seen it happen 1000 times. I grew up in Scientology so I admit it was very easy for me to bullshit them. If you need the job, I’d highly suggest biting the bullet. Scientologists are basically sheep, if you don’t blindly follow their lead, you get kicked outta the herd.
KatherineINCali says
Wow. Unbelievable.
It kills me how they deny that those courses are $cientology-based. Such liars.
Lol…the course supervisor actually brought up Aftermath? Too bad you can’t challenge them on their bullshit. But of course I understand since you don’t want to lose your job. I sincerely hope you find a new one and get away from those fanatics. Good luck on the job search!

MIke delete this is it is a duplicate. I am having trouble having my comments show up. I know Mario Nabliba personally. He and wife are ex SO but still KA drinkers. He comes from a small village in Nigeria, Africa, and it is pretty third world. When he took his new wife home to meet the village, they all had to touch her hair cuz none of them had ever seen a blonde woman before. (Blonde from a bottle). She was working at a cleaning company and he was working at a Best Buy or similar computer geek place. He had to be trained on it all cuz he didn’t know much about computers. This is a far cry from “Scientist.” He is NO Scientist! And he is hiding his Scn connections. We should do a big expose to let all know he is a Scn (although not very high on the Bridge.) My question is WHO is paying for his campaign? He and his wife don’t have that kind of money. So who is backing him?
Cindy says
Funny but I think Mario is from Nigeria in actuality. He is from a small African village and I think it is Nigeria.
Meryl Weiner says
SCIENTIST – WTF?!?!?!? This dude should, at least, learn how to spell before he runs for the Senate (or have someone look at this crapola before it’s made public). Way to go asswipe!!
Aquamarine says
Meryl,
“Learn how to spell before he runs for the Senate (or have someone look at this crapola before its made public)”
Seriously?
Bad spelling is no longer a requirement for someone running for public office. ” Real” Americans don’t care about spelling! Might even be a plus for some.
And, so what if he’s says he’s a scientist, and isn’t? He’s a scientist in his own mind, isn’t he? So blast it out, why not?
Welcome to the world of modern politics.
Look, this particular clown will get nowhere but not because he’s a poor speller or a liar!
Aquamarine says
Ha ha! Edit: “GOOD spelling is no longer a requirement…”
Meryl says
Yes – SERIOUSLY! Anyone who’s too careless to check something as bushleague as spelling, sure as hell isn’t fit to have anything to do with running the country. I realize that a high percentage of the American public has severely lowered their standards, but not all of us should. If someone has that much trouble with the little stuff, I sure as hell wouldn’t trust them with the big stuff. Nor should anyone else.

I know Mario Nabliba personally and this run for Congress is such a JOKE. He and his wife used to be in the SO for a short time and they both left SO but remained KA drinkers. Mario comes from a tiny little 3rd world country African village. He married a blonde woman (probably from a hair coloring bleach), and when he took her home to meet the village, they all touched her hair and were in awe cuz none of them had seen a blonde woman before. That is how backwards and small the village he comes from is. And what are his so called credentials for running? He is a closet Scn and not even anywhere on the Bridge to speak of! Certainly not Clear or OT. And when I knew them, she was working for a cleaning company and he was working at a Best Buys type of place where they sell computers. IT is a FAR CRY from “Scientist”. Do you think that is just a misspelling for the word, “Scientology”? Or do you think he is trying to fake it like he is a real Scientist? Also it sounds like he himself didn’t give money to the police charity, but maybe sold others on giving and so he can somehow twist that around to be that HE gave when he didn’t? It all smells to me. Where will he get the money to wage a campaign? They don’t make a lot of money. Will DM or IAS back him financially just to have a Scn in politics?

Ms. B. Haven says
I recall that Sonny Bono was a US Congressman representing a So Cal district back in the 80s. Sonny was a fully closeted scientologist who was at least smart enough not to reveal that affiliation. Cult connections are usually the kiss of death in politics. Hell, even a Kool-Aid swiller like FOOLproof wouldn’t dare mention his scientology connections. Especially when complete strangers ask him for the ‘secret’ to his cheerful personality and amazing success in life.
Balletlady says
Sonny Bono crashed into a tree while skiing……would DM say “he pulled that in”…..
Aquamarine says
Balletlady,
Yes, we can all laugh but that is PRECISELY what Scientologists would have said. He was “PTS” (Potential Trouble Source) to an SP (Suppressive) and he “pulled in” crashing into that tree, yes.
WhatAreYourCrimes says
LRH had a full discourse on how to ski, from the days in the boy scouts when he mastered the art of skiing masterfully.
Rumor is Bono was looking up a word in his pocket LRH dictionary from this discourse that he didn’t understand when he hit the tree.
The tech is there, people.
LRH gave it to you on a silver platter, gift-wrapped with a bow tie.

Yes, point well taken, Peter. Politics has always been But I do believe that we as a country, as a culture, have become quite degraded and seemingly ok with it and the government we have now reflects that. Nowadays there’s hardly even token respect for the qualities of dignity and civility. I’ll tell you the truth: I’m embarrassed to be an American, nowadays. I’ve lived outside the United States at times of my life and have always been proud of being an American. Not now. I’m ashamed of our country.right now. Or maybe not of our country per se but of the image we are projecting. Sorry if that bothers you or anyone else. With me its not a political thing; its a character thing. As a culture, whether Democrat of Republican, we’re very degraded and we’re celebrating the degradation. We have the government that we as a degraded culture deserve. Sorry if I sound like an elite snob. Maybe I am. I don’t give a damn how I sound. That’s the way I feel.

jim says
I remember Ron saying something along the lines that he would come back as a politician. Is it possible that scienos feel that IF they get one of their flock elected to a high post THEN Ron will be tempted to return, take over that body, and finish smashing his name in all corners of the galaxy?
Aquamarine says
I would believe that theory, jim. The cult is capable of formulating plans and programs based upon this sort of woo.

Miss Q says
So why is scientology ok with a member being a practicing muslim but not a practicing christian? Especially since it co-opted the cross as its symbol.
Aquamarine says
Miss Q, once one progresses to a certain point in Scientology one is actively discouraged from from practicing anything except Scientology. Loony Louie F’s NOI people are for the most part beginners on the Scientology “Bridge” and as such are told they can believe and practice any other religion they like. True but only for a while.
That said, the cult does seem to tolerate Islam better than Christianity or Judaism. Flag USED to be called “The Mecca of Scientology”.
Also, keep in mind that the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan’s cult, has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Islam, the Koran, etc. NOI is purely an American religion with its own creation story and its own practices which happen to include its members adopting Muslim names and dress because its their belief that when their ancestors in Africa were captured and brought to the Americas they had been, at the time, practicing Muslims.
Now, Muslims, Arabs, etc., were themselves no slouches in the slave trade but for some reason NOI’s beef is purely with the Christian slave traders and so the adoption of Muslim dress is their protest statement against the Christians who might not have physically captured them (more likely they Arabs did the actual capturing) but who transported, sold and used them as slaves in America.
NOI also believes that the Christian names of African Americans descended from slaves brought here from African are false in that they are their slave ancestors’ owners names, and so to correct this they mandate that their members adopt Muslin names.
Aquamarine says
Sorry for typos.

I would like to see a Zen diagram to accompany that statement. I think it might include a mobius strip.
Aquamarine says
Zen diagram? Mobius strip? Google!….help!….!!
Peabody says
A Venn diagram (also called primary diagram, set diagram or logic diagram) is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. They are used to teach elementary set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.
A simple Venn diagram can be created by drawing two overlapping circles. Label one ‘A’ and the other ‘B’. Label the intersection ‘A+B’.
Humans and penguins are bipedal, and so are then in the ‘A’ circle, but since they cannot fly they appear in the left part of the ‘A’ circle, where it does not overlap with the ‘B’ circle.
Mosquitoes have six legs, and fly, so the point for mosquitoes is in the part of the ‘B’ circle that does not overlap with the ‘A’ one.
Birds have two legs and can fly and would be in the ‘A + B’ circle.
Creatures that are not two-legged and cannot fly (for example, whales and spiders) would all be represented by points outside both circles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram
A Zen diagram looks like a liberal arts concoction of a Venn diagram and makes no sense to me.
http://zendiagram.strikingly.com/
Mobius or Moebius, is a surface with only one side (when embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space) and only one boundary. A system of differential-algebraic equations that describes models of this type was published in 2007 together with its numerical solution. Google it if you want a more technical explanation.
An example of a Möbius strip can be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip to form a loop.
If an ant were to crawl along the full length of the strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed both sides without ever crossing an edge.
Giant Möbius strips have been used as conveyor belts that last longer because the entire surface area of the belt gets the same amount of wear.
Also, as continuous-loop recording tapes (to double the playing time).
Möbius strips are common in the manufacture of fabric computer printer and typewriter ribbons, as they let the ribbon be twice as wide as the print head while using both halves evenly.
A Möbius resistor is an electronic circuit element that cancels its own inductive reactance. Nikola Tesla patented similar technology intended for use with his system of global transmission of electricity without wires.
In music theory, the space of all two-note chords, known as dyads, takes the shape of a Möbius strip.
Education in Scientology is non-existent with no worthwhile knowledge or marketable skill provided for staff which is a major problem when the staff member leaves Scientology.
The worst thing parents can do is put their child in Scientology at a young age.

Thanks for your response, Peabody. I really appreciate that you answered my question in such detail.
You know, from an existentialist point of view, life in general can appear rather pointless. We’re born, we live, we die…that’s it.
From an existentialist point of view it hardly matters WHAT we do between birth and death.
Nevertheless, long have I struggled with the question of what my purpose in life truly is.
Over the years various clues have presented themselves but I’ll share with you that until just now, nothing has truly indicated.
Thanks to you, though, Peabody, and this marvelous explanation above, my path is now obvious
I’ll devote the rest of my life to figuring out what the frickin’ hell you just said.
I figure this way: between the words I don’t understand and the ensuing word chains from their definitions, and factoring in that I’m in excellent health and likely to live long, I just might make it.
Wish me luck!
