Hahaha No corroborating evidence? Except what scientology churns out every day to try and discredit the movie.... Terrific promotion for the film though. BTW, an interview Alex and I did will be airing on NPR All Things Considered today at 16:40 / 18:40 / 20:40 EDT (17:40 / 19:40 PDT). New promotion for leaving scientology... THE best way to overcome financial stress. Flag OTC buying their own bs Puerto Rico and Orlando are "on the runway." Obviously they have no idea the state of these two failing field groups. But even better "Ma … [Read more...]
Going Clear With Paul Haggis
I had another posting for this morning, but then I read the article on Tony Ortega's blog this morning and consider it so important that I urge everyone to read it. I want it to be available on this blog for anyone who happens to come along here, so I am republishing it in its entirety. As is usual for Paul Haggis, he articulates a great deal in a few well chosen words. Though he doesn't promote himself and there is no shoot crew following him around to make self-congratulatory videos, he is a true humanitarian. His work in Haiti is legendary, and it continues to this day, long after the … [Read more...]
Flag Is Desperate
Don't look now, your desperation is showing... 6 people including 2 NOT's auditors, a Super Power Auditor, an AO D of P and AO Sup.... Apparently they don't have public to deliver to in the Flag AO so they are sending them out to try and press gang some suckers to show up at Flag. The massive international expansion, 47X, straight up and vertical is all happening "somewhere else." Problem is, only David Miscavige knows where "somewhere" is because it only exists inside his head when he sits down with Dan Sherman to collaborate on a speech. Which reminds this is one of the all … [Read more...]
Cancel Your HBO Service
Next chapter in the footbullet parade. I guess he doesn't realize it, but this will give an accurate count of how many dedicated scientologists there are in the United States. HBO will be able to tally up how many cancellations they receive. If it tops a couple of dozen I would be stunned. These people demonstrate two things about fundamentalist scientologists (which is likely true of all fundamentalists): 1. They have a hugely inflated sense of their self-worth 2. They have tissue-paper thin skin. It is sort of amazing that scientology does not believe they can live in the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Do It For Ron The Birthday Event hype is in full swing. Here is a favorite. "The best gift we can give him is the gift of expansion" so.... Give us £104 for "SMP". Makes total sense. And you will get a "special" "104" commendation to file in the round file of useless pieces of paper -- you only have "ethics protection" based on your NEXT "donation." Dear Mabel, This week we celebrate the 104th Birthday of our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The best gift we can give him is the gift of expansion. And the best answer to that is Scientology Media Productions, the most important project in S … [Read more...]
Scientology: “You Are Being Watched 24/7”
In light of recent events, I thought it might be appropriate to repost a couple of videos. These were originally posted on Marty Rathbun's blog in December 2012. They are pretty self-explanatory. The first two show one of the earlier iterations of "you are being watched 24/7" video surveillance the church set up on my house. I realized this was the case when I received an "anonymous" letter warning me not to talk to my neighbor -- which was a sort of "WTF?" moment where I asked myself "How does anyone know I spoke to my neighbor"? From there, it was not hard to figure out where the … [Read more...]
Scientology Media Footbullets On Rapid Fire
The below article was published by Radar Online this morning. It is of note because it is further evidence that scientology is demonstrating to the world that everything in the movie is true. Their hamfisted footbullets are not going unnoticed as they may have done in the past. But it is especially interesting because of the absolutely astonishing arrogance of the responses. Everything they do is further confirmation of their guilt. Who in their right mind, when confronted with an email threatening physical violence would not say "We condemn threats of violence and will assist the … [Read more...]
Scientology Lies and Going Clear
Scientology has launched their usual ad hominem attacks on Alex Gibney and Going Clear. Every person interviewed or associated with the film is subject to the scientology smear campaign. Even now including attempting to "dead agent" Alex Gibney by claiming his deceased father was some sort of "CIA Propagandist" and thus "the apple didn't fall far from the tree." This sort of insanity makes them the object of universal derision. A couple of days ago they fired what they thought was another in the apparently unending stream of shots across HBO's bow. Like those that have pr … [Read more...]
Scientology Plays The Religious Persecution Card
In the face of the enormous interest and critical acclaim for Alex Gibney's Going Clear documentary, Scientology is in panic mode. So, they do what they have always done in times of disaster: fall back on trying to gain sympathy by claiming to be the object of bigotry and religious persecution. In typical arrogant Miscavige style, he refused to cooperate in making the film, not agreeing to an interview and making sure nobody else under his spell did either. It was a strategy he has used plenty of times in the past. And once the reporting is done, the whining begins: "they only looked at … [Read more...]
Panic In The Bubble
It seems Paul Clark is not the only one "spreading the flap" on the Razzline (see recent post "Don't Freak Out"). These guys just don't seem able to restrain themselves. By the time this program airs there won't be anyone in the bubble that is not aware of it. And believe me, a lot of people will watch it out of curiosity even though they are warned not to do so. It has really been built up BIG TIME inside the church. Normally it is pretty easy for the run of the mill Kool Aid drinker to ignore anything that is in the media as merely being the rabid utterances of the "merchants of … [Read more...]
