Thought you might be interested to see what sort of turnout the ideal org in Melbourne mustered for Tales from the Crypt night with Wick "Stickyfingers" Allcock. According to Anita Liza, the "audience was captivated"... Anita included some shots of the crowd that assembled... Unfortunately, no shots of the great storyteller himself, but the number of attendees (and their average age) says a lot about the state of the "ideal org" in Melbourne, supposedly one of the "best" ideal orgs. You know, those orgs that immediately "10X" their "expansion" once Dear Leader hisself has yanked … [Read more...]
Personal Stories About Ron — Sort Of
This reminds me of when they put James Byrne out to pasture to tell "personal stories" about the Commodore. All a 50 year SO veteran is good for is an event in Melbourne org? This of course is not likely to generate much revenue, so it tells you how unimportant he is seen to be. If he is in Australia it should at least be being held at AOSHANZO where there are more whales (or at least the Australian version -- James Packer no longer in the mix so the average whale size went down by a factor of 43X...) If he has such good stuff, he should really be doing this at Flag where the real whales … [Read more...]
Hawking Hubbard’s Baby Formula
Typical scientology. There is a situation in the US with a shortage of infant formula. An opportunity to move in with some Hubbard "tech" -- the "barley formula." I hope nobody falls for this. Hubbard claims it is a formula used by the Romans 2200 years ago -- that "barley sustained the Roman legions" and that this concoction, featuring a liberal dose of Karo syrup (cornstarch syrup) and cow's milk is better than breast milk and commercial baby formula. Here is the page giving the ingredients and method of preparation from the Scientology Handbook. Like much of the … [Read more...]
Apartheid Alive and Well in Scientology?
I know I have commented on this before, but it never ceases to amaze me how the Advanced Org for the CONTINENT of Africa serves exclusively the tiny minority of the citizenry who are white. The photos of the graduates below are not cherry-picked. They are what is attached to the email of the "latest AOSH Africa completions." It is the same every time they send these out. Of course, dianetics and scientology from the outset have been white-centric (probably not a word, but it seems appropriate). Just look at the earliest photos of dianeticists and scientologists gathered anywhere and … [Read more...]
Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health
On this day in 1950, "Book One" was published. It seems an appropriate day to remember some of the claims Hubbard made in his lengthy explanation of his "discoveries" that had been thoroughly tested... Let's start with the most infamous: Clears of course DO get colds. They also get cancer, suffer heart attacks, strokes, pancreatitis and all sorts of other ailments. But this statement is still in the current edition of book. As for the 270 cases, this is of course also a total fabrication. Obviously. No "laboratory fact" confirms this lie because it is provably false. … [Read more...]
A Letter from “Ron”
Back in the days when Ron was still occupying his meat body, he encouraged people to write to him. He proclaimed many times -- "all mail addressed to me shall be received by me." This was what he called the "SO #1 Line." Here is just one example of him pitching this: Even as late as 1982, when he was in hiding, he was still pushing this, and making a point that some SP ("now blown") had implied he was not seeing the letters sent to him. "I almost wept." This is all bs. He never read or answered these letters. In fact, he said the REAL reason for the "SO #1" line is a … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
It opened the flows... The ridiculous things they try to assign cause and effect to. Bottom of the Bridge at the "Advanced" Org They promote things that should be done in missions and lower level orgs. I guess when there is so little to talk about anything suffices. He's BACK!!! Who knew he was gone? More weird stuff at an "Advanced" Org They're going to teach people how to VIEW art??? Celebrate Mothers in scientology Disconnection from their children. Divorce from husbands who don't buy into … [Read more...]
Easter — Scientology Style
They are at it again: Scientology pretending it is aligned with Christianity. Celebrating Easter is even more hypocritical than celebrating Christmas -- which almost transcends a religious holiday in most Western countries. But Easter, like Passover is truly a religious day, there is no federal holiday designated for these occasions in the US. This is the day to remember Christ on the cross. And a day for scientology to try to cash in on their "christian-friendly" PR line. But what does Hubbard have to say about this occasion? I have written about this before Can Scientologists be … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard on Psychiatry, Pain and Sex
This is an expansion of an earlier post I did on this subject. Hubbard always had a lot to say about psychiatry being the root of all evil in this universe, but towards the end of his days, he became increasingly obsessed with the topic. Just as he was trying to get rid of those pesky BT's and clusters, so too he was trying to explain to the world the scourge of psychiatry. Read his fiction from the time -- Battlefield Earth and even more so, Mission Earth, and his fixation on psychiatry is remarkable. They are the source of all suppression of mankind. His unpublished writings are even … [Read more...]
Scientology Hypocrisy: Slave Labor and Human Trafficking
Hypocrisy in scientology runs very deep. It is almost axiomatic that if scientology claims something virtuous about itself, the opposite is true. They are masters at the art of pointing the finger at others to avert scrutiny of themselves. Just a short list: They proclaim they are champions of free speech, while seeking by any means necessary to silence anyone who says things they don't like. They claim to be against hatred and bigotry while putting out a continuous stream of hate-filled utterances and offering a safe harbor and support for the likes of Tony … [Read more...]
