Someone forwarded this recent scientology email blast to me. They're trying to keep it hidden. Note the "DO NOT POST ON FB" bold ALL CAPS at the end. It contains a bunch of coded language. Despite what it says, the recipients of this message know they are not supposed to actually do their own research -- they might see something they are not supposed to see. By labeling Aaron an "Anti-scientologist" nothing more need be said. Because he is an "anti-scientologist" he is automatically an "anti-social personality" (or SP). Every scientologist knows you must NOT support an S … [Read more...]
Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies
We bring back one of our favorites this week, the wonderful Stefani Hutchison. Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work Stefani has done, investigating the claims made by scientology and their front groups. You can find the stories on her blog, and I am also listing them here. It is pretty conclusive evidence that when scientology claims they are "working with the Red Cross" or had a "partnership with..." or "they handed … [Read more...]
Miscavige Playing Footsie With Clearwater
Another recent story from Tracey McManus, Scientology's David Miscavige discusses 'partnership' with Clearwater recounts a recent meeting between Miscavige, the Mayor Frank Hibbard, the new City Attorney David Margolis and new City Manager Jon Jennings. It was typical Miscavige, all smiles, handshakes and positivity to try to persuade the new guys in town that he is a nice guy. Just wait until he doesn't get what he wants. Stefani Hutchinson covered the reporting on her excellent blog: Miscavige's Fresh Start: Not New, Not True For someone who has never been a scientologist, … [Read more...]
Clearwater’s Scientology Perception Problem
The latest article from Tracey McManus in the extensive reporting she had done on scientology's land grab in Clearwater. You can see some of her earlier reporting here: Scientology members fuel another land buying surge in Clearwater and Clear Takeover The recent activities prompted Mark Bunker to raise concerns at the city council meeting which is what the latest story covers. He didn't get much support. While some of the city council are willing to acknowledge scientology taking over Clearwater as a "problem" they simply throw up their hands and claim there is nothing that can be do … [Read more...]
Panic in the Bubble
They're panicking inside the scientology bubble over Aaron Smith-Levin running for City Council. See post from yesterday for other indications. This letter was sent to an OT 8 who attended the recent fundraiser in support of Aaron's campaign. It arrived in the mail a few days after they were spotted there. A couple of things in this letter of interest. Wonder why Flag has a PO Box in Tampa as their address? Cara Goloshefksy (the Mike Ellis of Flag) is now Cara Pendery? I didn't even know Rafferty Pendery had a brother…. Apparently he has been in the Sea Org f … [Read more...]
The Scientology Misinformation Center
Wow, these guys can twist anything into a reason to pat themselves on the back. By leaving out a lot of relevant information, they make it seem like they are doing such a wonderful service to the Clearwater community. First, the LOSS of revenue for the City of Clearwater is HUGE. If all the dozens of properties scientology owns were taxable, the amount of revenue generated would be at least 10 times the 3 million. Maybe 20 times. Or even more. This is the SHORTFALL that the city does NOT receive. Tens of millions annually. But the city DOES provide the fire and police departments, … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Take Control of Your Mental Health? What if we told you up front that after you pay tens, if not hundreds of thousands to clear the effects of your reactive mind, that you will eventually realize it was something YOU "mocked up"? How would your mental health seem then? Fully In Control of Life From reading a book? At least he/she won't need to waste money on auditing. Focusing on Human Trafficking I bet nobody has let Mona in on the secret that scientology is engaged in systemic human trafficking? And that Columbus org is staffed with … [Read more...]
Prominent Clearwater Scientologist “Pulls In” the “Chinese Virus”
Tony Ortega asked the question yesterday why scientology is not promoting the vaccine like they do masks and hand-washing? There is no definitive statement from scientology, but there are some clues in the statements of scientologists and from knowing Hubbard's worldview and thus how scientologists think. This FB post is from a very prominent scientologist and big IAS donor in Clearwater. He and his wife, Terri, were Sea Org members at ASHO before departing and becoming public whales. He is one of the owners of Nationwide Title Company (NTC) which is just a couple of minutes from where I … [Read more...]
New Scientology Trick: Uber Pitches
Here's a new one from a tipster in the Clearwater area: My friend got into an Uber and the driver handed her a scino booklet. See below. My friend immediately got into it with the driver asking why is she promoting a cult during her Uber experience. This is all pretty odd. Flag is NOT a place that wants new public. So, why promote it? As they aren’t trying to recruit, what is the QR code about on the front of this little booklet? Perhaps this is a "goodwill" item trying to get people to come visit the "Community Center" where they can be regaled with videos of the humanitarian works of … [Read more...]
