The Thursday Funnies are back with a vengeance! We've got some great stuff this week... Things are really gearing up. You'd better be ready for the greatest expansion ever that is just over the horizon.... For 70+ years now, the mantra has been that the promises made are now finally going to come true. And this time it’s for real. Your faith (and money) will finally pay off. You have to wonder how long they can keep the confidence game going. It’s worked for this long — and there is no sign they are slowing down with their pitch. We’re expanding like never before! … [Read more...]
Scientology and Human Rights — Oil and Water
Mike Westen forwarded it to me and gave me permission to republish it. Scientology and Human Rights February 8, 2024 For decades, scientologists have attempted to position themselves as credible human rights activists. Not a week goes by without a new self-congratulatory press release on their efforts to “make human rights a fact.” Front groups such as United for Human Rights, Youth for Human Rights and Foundation for a Slavery Free World extol the value of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) without the slightest hint of irony. “They are just trying to help,” … [Read more...]
Human Rights Suckers
Unfortunately PT Barnum's old quote is proven true when it comes to scientology front groups managing to sucker "allies" into affording them some legitimacy. The people who lend their names, often unwittingly, to supporting scientology front groups are either very badly informed, extremely foolish, or less credible than the front group they are supporting. In this case, it's scientology's "Human Rights" front. It is certainly ironic that scientology promotes itself as champions of human rights, and even call those who give them the most money "humanitarians." They cloak themselves in this … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
All Religions.... Unless your religion happens to be "ex-scientologist" Suckering the LAPD once again.... Some shameless safepointing with cash. A whole new universe? They haven't even created a whole new org yet. Photo Op This is the best they could do. 22 people? But they're creating a whole new universe.... Because you know something is wrong Their little tag line at the bottom is interesting. Surely they know something is wrong inside the bubble? These guys could do with a new graphic … [Read more...]
Scientology Human Rights – An Oxymoron
Scientology attempts to position itself as defenders of Human Rights. They put out a constant flow of propaganda intended to create that image through their front groups, photo ops, slickly produced videos and booklet handouts. They try as often as possible to hitch their PR wagon to legitimate organizations and individuals as they are doing in this event. I wonder if Harry Cohen, Hillsborough County Commissioner has any idea what he is endorsing? Or Jeannette Matta or Rainey Nave for that matter.... And you have to question whether the Children's Board Board members have any idea … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
New Years is on Saturday! The wog world is behind the times. Only scientology is fully at cause over matter, energy, space and TIME... This will "literally be the most EPIC!" How could anyone possibly miss it? I bet Tom Cruise won't be there... Or Elisabeth Moss. Or Laura Prepon. There are going to be a whole lot of people who manage to resist the most epic event ever... And look at this -- they will hold your children in pens for the duration of the event! That's cause over Matter. They are even trying to get people to come for the event by offering a free dinner. Bet … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
"Christmas" seminars... On how to make money. Only $50... I doubt Kermit would appreciate this But it is so typical of scientology who threaten and sue people for using their trademarks at the drop of a hat "Certified" Happiness Education Specialist Translation: Learn how to make a commission pushing WTH booklets The largest private relief force on earth Swings into action again. All 2 or 3 of them... And they have to ask to get 2 or 3? The largest in a decade... May have to swing by and take some shots. Sure it … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
An "Extravagaza" On Wednesday night. Should be a big draw. Maybe they can get the Palestinian community to show up in support... Damning with Faint Praise This worth a promo piece? They will feed you... If you just agree to sit through this stuff. It's like one of those Time Share offers or "your cemetery plot awaits, come for a free dinner at Rudy Tuesday's to find out how to secure it." What ideal org alliance? I thought California was done? And does this poster make ANY sense? You could be Olivia Newton-John? Why? How would that … [Read more...]
Police Report: CC Int False Imprisonment
A recent escapee from Celebrity Center in Los Angeles filed the report below with the Hollywood PD. They will likely do nothing about it, but the cumulative effect of filing police reports cannot be underestimated. What happened to this woman is SO normal inside the scientology bubble. Nobody there gives it a second thought. This is "normal" and "appropriate" behavior when you are convinced that what you are doing is saving every man, woman and child on this earth and in the universe. What are the human rights of a single individual in the face of saving the universe? It's why … [Read more...]
Tampa Bay Charity Coalition
Another front group trying to gain acceptance, the “Tampa Bay Charity Coalition" -- somehow they leave out the word scientology from their title. Their Facebook page features one of their events in the Ft Harrison ballroom -- though it looks like they photoshopped the "Flag" logo on the backdrop so it's not readable. This "Film Festival" is a thinly disguised excuse to show their "human rights" infomercials. You can see there is massive interest in this event... You have to wonder what an "Official Selection" means? No doubt they “selected” the infomercials produc … [Read more...]
