Over the last few weeks, Chris Owen (author of many insightful writings about Hubbard and scientology, including his excellent book, Ron The War Hero) has done a series of posts with Tony Ortega on Substack describing the history of the harassment campaigns carried out by scientology. As is always the case with Chris, he is a meticulous researcher and summarizes the information in a concise and accurate way. This is important information that should be as widely available as possible, so I am combining his 3 pieces into one longer article and reprinting it below. It's fascinating … [Read more...]
Scientology and Litigation — the Real Truth
Among the many falsehoods perpetrated on the STAND League website are a series of FAQs where they try to present the image of scientology as victims of predatory, greedy litigants ... It's a typical fable that gets off to a rollicking start: During the history of the Church, some individuals sought to make money from unfounded allegations, but the Church successfully defended against those claims. It's a false premise for a number of reasons. There have been successful litigants -- notably Lawrence Wollersheim and Julie Christoffersen who were awarded multi-million dollar … [Read more...]
The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks
I have been nosing around the STAND League site of late, just to document what they are doing and have a record of it before it all disappears in a puff of smoke when that becomes necessary for whatever reason. I came across an article from a couple of months ago, newly tweeted out, smearing my friend of many years, Mariette Lindstein. I have written about Mariette before and her enormous success as an author of fictional novels that are drawn from her experience in scientology, including working at the Gold Base in Religious Technology Center and other very senior executive … [Read more...]
Nation of Islam’s “Supreme Technology”
It's Hubbard v. Farrkhan. In the world of fringe beliefs this is King Kong v. Godzilla. Who will come out on top? Louis is making a concerted effort to get the upper hand. For the "KSW" scientologists of the world, this must really rankle. Calypso Louis is taking credit for "giving" the NOI "The Supreme Technology (Dianetic Auditing)"... Not acknowledging or attributing Source is a serious crime in the fundamentalist world of scientology. It just highlights once again how bizarre this marriage is. Under normal circumstances this would be a "Matter of RTC … [Read more...]
Newsflash: JLo & Kathy Griffin Conspiring to Destroy Scientology for Money
The crazy keeps getting crazier. The unhinged Minions of Miscavige spew increasingly insane rantings as the walls close in on their bubble of belief. Anyone suffering under the illusion that "author" of this latest conspiracy theory, Ryan Prescott, is some wayward "lone-wolf" scientologist acting on his own, please know this is NOT the case. Nobody, especially not a scientology org staff member, takes OSA Matters into their own hands. They ONLY act in concert with and as fronts for OSA or they are shut down instantly. He might as well announce himself officially as a member of the STAAD … [Read more...]
The New Sea Org “Model” Class V Org
The new LA Org Mag is being sent out. A special correspondent scanned and sent it to me. Portions of it appear below. It is the hype mag for the new universe of scientology at LA Org -- the org that "sets the standards for making planetary clearing a reality." Even though they haven't made a single clear. Along with some other fine features, it provides a listing of the key execs and their experience. Then it continues with many pages of apparently endless superlatives about the incredible services they are offering, as if they never offered them before when they were … [Read more...]
