This is another piece that appears on the STAAD site. They got me to go check it out this site with their silly boycott business.... Otherwise I probably would never have seen it. While nosing around I came across this amazing piece of work. According to this genius The Aftermath is a plot by.... BIG PHARMA! I wish I knew about this... I have put her full article below along with some of my editorial comments in red.... Scientology and Conspiracy: The Real Story Perhaps you’ve come across “the real story” about Scientology on your Facebook feed, television screen or on some tab … [Read more...]
The STAAD League Boycott
The Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAAD) League has been playing the victim card for a while now and have come up with a new tactic of orchestrating a letter writing campaign to advertisers on The Aftermath. You may recall their earlier "victory" of claiming to get copies of People magazine removed from the shelves of a Target store because Leah Remini was on the cover. It was a "huge blow for religious freedom" -- even though it almost certainly didn't happen -- but didnt do much for the concept of freedom of speech that scientology spouts as one of their … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard and Adolf Hitler?
One of our regular contributors, Brian, provided this comment in response to the post about scientology comparing a Hollywood Reporter writer to Goebbels. I thought it deserved a wider audience. As they say, sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.... Well now, since we are discussing people influenced by Nazis and follow his Hitler’s philosophies — I present to you.... “But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repea … [Read more...]
VMs in Puerto Rico: This Says It All
This tells you all you need to know about the largest and most effective private relief force on earth Hurricane Maria did not devastate an outer islands of the Philippines or a remote area of Guatemala. This is a US Territory that houses a soon to be "ideal" Scientology org. I take nothing away from the fact they helped clear 7 houses around the org. Every little bit of help is appreciated by those who are suffering. But the emphasis is on LITTLE. Read their report below ad you will see they have rounded up 30 people! This is likely the full contingent of 10 staff and 20 public in t … [Read more...]
Scientology: Hollywood Reporter Writer Is Like Goebbels
Apparently, Seth Abramovitch of the Hollywood Reporter has caused some serious butthurt in the scientology world. A couple of recent articles seem to have put him on the Enemies List and scientology has responded in their typically understated fashion. On one of scientology's many Facebook smear pages, they repeatedly posted this: I guess the irony of this being posted on their own Facebook hate page "Leah Remini #AfterCash" never occurred to them? They keep repeating the big lie that Aftermath is about money... It must be obvious to even THEM by now that this docuseries does not … [Read more...]
The Blame Game
Scientology plays an interesting game of taking credit for anything good AND bad in a person's life. For anything good, it's BECAUSE the person is a good scientologist "applying the tech" and for anything bad it's because the person is NOT a good scientologist and is not applying the tech and thus they are suffering their "just rewards." This "win/win" takes many forms and is a practiced art of the scientologist. If you are doing well in life and have plenty of money you are not only lauded for your "humanitarian contributions", you are expected to make sure that everyone knows it is … [Read more...]
Danny Masterson Trying to Shore Up His PR
Of course, when you are being investigated for rape -- "The Los Angeles Police Department Robbery Homicide Division, Sexual Assault Section, is conducting an investigation involving the actor Danny Masterson. Three women have come forward and disclosed that they were sexually assaulted by Masterson during the early 2000's," Hollywood Reporter -- you have to do more than hire a prominent criminal defense attorney and a private investigator. You have to make it appear that you are an all around good guy who really cares about kids. So you do a round of golf. No actual work or … [Read more...]
Do Scientologists Really Care?
The next new episode of Aftermath is on 10 October. This week and next A&E is airing reruns of earlier episodes. There is plenty of material in those shows -- I recommend watching them again even if you have watched them before as many people find more revealing information in each episode that was missed in the first viewing. Relevant to Aftermath, and especially to scientology's response to every show a couple of observations/thoughts. Do Scientologists Really Care? It is a curious, and rather disturbing, fact that run of the mill scientologists on social media never (and this … [Read more...]
LAPD What Are You Thinking?
Are they going to explain to everyone that the solution is to hand out Way To Happiness booklets? It's worked so well in Venezuela and other places... How about human trafficking, fraud and destroying families? Not part of the agenda? The LAPD and other organizations need to pay better attention and be more diligent about who they team up with. Of course, their argument is that they will work together with anyone who wants to improve the community, and that is understandable. What they don't realize is: a. How scientology will use them to gain legitimacy for themselves b. What … [Read more...]
