AS IT APPEARS SCIENTOLOGY DID NOT PUT UP THIS POSTER -- BUT IT IS BEING TROLLED BY IT (AS WAS I) I AM REPLACING THIS POST. BUT IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED.... This has to be one of the more remarkable things in the history of scientology "dissemination" efforts. And there have been plenty of really bizarre episodes. New York "ideal" org is trying to attract people to "The COS" (they do NOT use the word scientology) with Hamilton tickets for $20. Like anyone who is not on staff in scientology would ever know what "The COS" is... Scientology claims to have the answers to all of … [Read more...]
How To Handle “Negative News”
Here is an email circulating in the scientology bubble. From: Vern Jones Sent: Friday, March 03 Subject: Handling Entheta in the News I recently have been experimenting with handling the amount of entheta news displayed on the CNN home page I use. As most know, home pages usually carry an array of news stories in various categories. I suspect that they keep stats (numbers of hits or clicks) and then increase the selection to similar ones to those that receive the greatest number of hits or clicks. This is an online marketing method that I am convinced is also used for the … [Read more...]
S.T.A.A.D
Scientology launched a new website on 26 February 2017. Obviously it is a reaction to the tsunami of negative press they have been getting. Scientology has become the butt of so many jokes there is no way of keeping track of them all. But it was perfect timing for this to appear the same day as Jimmy Kimmel's crack in his opening monologue at the Academy Awards. Frankly, the new site is just a gussied up version of Freedom Mag. Much the same content and similar lofty sounding objectives rehashed to somehow look different: The truth is that it is a thinly veiled … [Read more...]
More Scientology Lies about Disconnection
This is right from the scientology.org website under their "Frequently Asked Questions" answer on "What Is Disconnection?" There is no policy in Scientology that requires Church members to disconnect from anyone, let alone family and friends who simply have different beliefs. To the contrary, the moral code of Scientology mandates that Scientologists respect the religious beliefs of others. The Church encourages excellent family relationships, Scientologists or not, and family relations routinely improve with Scientology because the Scientologist learns how to increase communication and … [Read more...]
Casting Problems
They put out these notices fairly regularly. A few weeks ago they were trying to cast Allen Ginsberg and L. Ron Hubbard for $200-$300/day. Seems they are having some problems getting takers as they have raised the price now to $935/day. I can imagine that in this day and age being identified as a "face" of WTH or Narconon is not a good career choice. And apparently the only applicants they had are english as a second language speakers. They even have to offer "gas reimbursement" which means this is being shot at Gold, not at SuMP. Apparently SuMP does absolutely nothing. Prediction: T … [Read more...]
Pat Harney — Scientology’s Last “PR”?
Perhaps the only scientology "PR" who is still operating anywhere these days is Pat Harney in Clearwater. Though she doesn't make live media appearances or even answer live media questions (witness her scurrying away when she came to "confront" one of the Producers of The Aftermath while they were shooting on the sidewalk - and refusing to even give her name) - she will dash off a Letter to the Editor every now and then, as long as it's not to one of the "known SP media" outlets (looking at you Tampa Bay Times). Pat is the last of a dying breed. Karin Pouw is just a name used to put on … [Read more...]
Where is Scientology Sacramento?
This is something one of our readers sent in last week that highlights another facet of the fraud of scientology. You may have heard of the recent situation with the Oroville dam in Northern California and people being evacuated. This story in the LA Times tells of the Sikh temples in Sacramento that opened their doors to displaced persons. There was also a link to other shelters and churches who had taken in refugees. NOT included on the list was the "ideal" Church of Scientology of Sacramento. Here is an excerpt from the story: As tens of thousands fled low-lying regions on the … [Read more...]
More SuMP Lies
Remember when Dear Leader yanked the ribbon on the wondrous Scientology Media Productions facility back in May 2016? It was offered up as the latest solution to make planetary clearing a reality - following in a long line of promises, from the Golden Age of Tech to Super Power and the Golden Age of Tech II. The Basics. The Golden Age of Knowledge. The largest digital printing plant on earth. The new Bridge Publications. Ideal Orgs. The NN, APS, WTH headquarters. Golden Era productions, the largest free standing studio state-of-the-art audio-visual production facility.... Here is some of … [Read more...]
Fun Facts from AOLA
Here is another of the frequent scientology documents that prove they are lying about their "massive international expansion." Let's look at these one by one. "Highest Ever" number of people solo auditing at AOLA -- 220. Remember, AOLA is the Advanced Org for the entirety of the AMERICAS. Everywhere from Buenos Aires to Winnipeg and Hawaii to Barbados. 220 people (including staff and Sea Org members). Total. This is 220 out of ONE BILLION people in North and South America. That's about ONE out of every 4.5 MILLION people. According to National Geographic, you have a 1 in 3.7 million … [Read more...]
Scientology Shill Joy Villa Plays the Trump Card
Unabashed self-promoter and scientology pitch-woman Joy Villa has cashed in on political divisiveness to make a killing from unsuspecting Trump supporters. Ms. Villa has previously attempted to attract attention at the Grammy's by wearing various forms of see-through attire. Her virtual nakedness didn't garner a lot of attention other than to get her onto the "worst-dressed" list. But this year, she hit on a brilliant scheme, marketing herself as a walking advertisement for Donald Trump. In a town and industry that has little love for anything Republican, and plenty of … [Read more...]
