Another in the ongoing series of posts documenting the insane statements and lies of scientology's only public spokesperson, Fast Eddie Parkin. Eddie as you may recall from earlier posts is a long term staff member in the Office of Special Affairs International (he used to be an assistant to Heber Jentzsch before Heber was "disappeared" many years ago). Fast Eddie is busy on twitter. Though he blocks the people he constantly carps about, and in fact blocks ANYONE who questions him or any of his tweets, this self-proclaimed champion of free speech and human rights (as long as they are … [Read more...]

Fast Eddie is Losing His Mind — “Big Pharma Whores”
Fortunately, Fast Eddie Parkin, the head of STAAD League and OSA International old-timer (he used to be Heber Jentzsch's assistant back before Heber was "disappeared") cannot block everyone on Twitter. Fast Eddie makes a habit of sliming people scientology doesn't like with his STAAD League account (@EPStandLeague). But everyone he targets is blocked from seeing his Tweets, and anyone who ever responds to him with anything less than fawning agreement of his assessment of himself as a genius is instantly blocked. This is such a cowardly way of doing things -- but is a typical scientology … [Read more...]
Janis Gillham-Grady
One of my oldest and dearest friends, Janis appeared on The Aftermath last week to help shed light on the life and disappearance of Shelly Miscavige. Her fantastic, almost photographic memory is a treasure that should not be taken for granted. And she has put her gift to excellent use in the two books she has published so far chronicling her life which also serve as the definitive history of the Sea Organization. If you want to know what life was like with L. Ron Hubbard in the formative years of the Sea Org, the first two volumes of Janis' story are the only place to go. Her extensive … [Read more...]
Where Is Shelly? Aftermath
As always, interested to hear your feedback on the show tonight. And as is their pattern, scientology's response to the show is both predictable and quite bizarre. They are hanging their hat on the fact that this is all a publicity stunt, but now they have gone a step further, claiming it is "intended to incite violence" and that Leah is back like Jason from Friday the 13th (a trademark Miscavigeism -- certainly not a line that any reputable lawyer would include in a letter). Of course they ignore the fact there would be NO INTEREST if Shelly was NOT MISSING from the public … [Read more...]
Thoughts on the Tone Scale
Frequent commenter Brian Thomas Lambert put together some thoughts about the Tone Scale and forwarded them to me. I asked him to write an introduction to himself: I’ve been blogging for a few years now. I started Scientology in 1971. The Incredible Stringband, an all Scientology music group, influenced my joining as I was a fan. I ended up marrying one of the ladies in the group named Likky. How the church treated her with callous abuse while she was going crazy on OT3x was instrumental in my leaving in 82. I was a Sea Org member at FOLOEUS, started at the Geltman mission in NYC with Chick Co … [Read more...]
Scientology and Nazi Germany
Most of you likely saw the clip of Leah reading the letter from scientology before last night's show: https://twitter.com/i/status/1072634441669971970 This is the transcript of the statement: The Church states that it supports religious freedom for all and respects the religious beliefs of others, for all faiths, as enshrined in its Creed. The Church accuses Remini of spreading vitriolic religious hate and bigotry that instigates violence. The Church also insists that this disgustingly bigoted show spreads lies and foments discrimination, as was done in Germany in the 1930s. The Church … [Read more...]
STAAD Gives Itself a Pat on the Back
Here we have an example of classic scientology spin. Like they claim the IAS was founded with the Portland Crusade to "defend the rights of scientologists" (when it was actually a way of keeping money outside the purview of the IRS), so too STAAD has a "creation myth" that it came about as a response to "requests by scientology parishioners for a platform to speak out against discrimination." That is of course "utter bullshit" to quote David Miscavige in his last official statement to the press. The STAAD League was a bright idea to "combat" the negative PR generated by The Aftermath … [Read more...]
Aftermath: Further Thoughts on PI’s
As usual, scientology "reacted" to last night's episode with smears on Cierra Westerman before the show even aired. Even for scientology -- their approach was bizarre. They did not disclaim the fact that she was hired by them to spy on former scientologists and Anonymous. Instead they called her a "Liar 4 Hire" and showed a picture of her wearing a confederate flag cap. Oh, the irony. It was scientology who HIRED her. She was not paid anything to tell her story on the show. She was THEIR operative. They put this out on the Freedom "Media Ethics Check" twitter account. This is … [Read more...]
The Aftermath After Show
As always, interested to hear your views on season 3’s first episode. Of course, before it even aired, scientology put out their attempted "Dead Agent" smear of Valerie. This consists entirely of claims made by her deadbeat brother and his wife -- neither of whom know ANYTHING about Valerie's experiences in the Sea Org and with David Miscavige, and yet assert that Valerie is "selling her soul by telling lies for the attempted creation of ‘reality TV’” ... Jeffrey Haney cries about how Valerie "cut us off" to "destroy their family". This is the guy who never had a thought about Val … [Read more...]
Learn from the Master
You can pay money to hear from the guy who had 3 wives (though claimed he had no second wife), married while still married to another woman, beat his wife and disowned his own child and in the end abandoned them all. LRH is held out in scientology as the paragon of virtuous family man... The bubble=dwellers just accept this as "fact." In all things LRH was beyond reproach. So much so that his words on any subject are considered to be unalterable and life-saving truth. Even on subjects where he was clearly NOT a model for anyone to pattern their lives on. Forget Margaret (Polly) and … [Read more...]
