The STAAD League have weighed in on the only thing they care about -- what is happening on Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. Apparently it is the only thing they exist for, which is quite a compliment. For the self-proclaimed champions of free speech and purveyors of epic humanitarianishism these guys have a pretty big blind spot. When Louis Farrakhan and his IAS Freedom-medal winning defender Tony Mohammed roll out the anti-semitic rants, the STAAD League is conspicuously mum. Not a peep. Ever. When we do a show that highlights victims of abuse, they go apoplectic. Not … [Read more...]
Pot. Kettle. Black.
The STAAD League continues to froth and rant about the strangest things. While they try to maintain a pretense that they care about anything OTHER than scientology's right to abuse people without censure, they fail routinely. Here is their latest "cause" -- my reference to Michael Chan as Chan Man in the Thursday Funnies.

This one came in a little while ago. If you looked up "brown-nosing" in the dictionary you might well find this tweet presented as an example. "Mr." David Miscavige (nobody DARE refer to him as merely "David Miscavige" or heaven forbid, "David" or perish the thought, "Dave") has apparently marked many wayposts on the path to peace (like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant?) and somehow they "pointed" to a better … [Read more...]
Scientology’s STAND (STAAD) Front Group
The mighty STAND (STAAD) League pretends to be a group of "concerned scientologists" who "stand up for religious freedom." In fact, they are an Office of Special Affairs front group consisting of selected individuals (many of them are ex-SO/staff/GO like the example below) cleared by OSA who are given direction and authorization to participate in attempts to smear those exposing scientology. The International Director of STAAD is Ed Parkin. He has been in PR OSA Int for more than 20 years. He dishes out commendations to the chosen ones (lots of good these commendations will do them … [Read more...]
