The First Amendment to the Constitution is a vitally important document that is cause for great celebration and almost as much dispute. It enshrines a number of very important rights -- freedom of religion, speech, the press, to peaceable assembly and petition the government. I believe the Bill of Rights was intended to protect people rather than the government or corporations (in fact the ONLY right afforded any corporation in the Bill of Rights is that given the press in the First Amendment) and yet, over the years, much law has developed that protects religious … [Read more...]
Scientology’s “Blood on Your Hands” Lie Exposed
Tony Ortega published an important piece on his Substack about the big lie that scientology has been telling the world since a mentally disturbed young man from Taiwan murdered a scientology security guard at the Advanced Org in Sydney. Scientology has been saying for years that this murder was a result of the young man watching The Aftermath show, which "incited" him to commit this heinous crime. They have spread this lie repeatedly on social media and in their hate-publications and wrote to the head of A&E at the time accusing him of being complicit because he had not canceled our … [Read more...]
Scientology Squeals Victim
The response to Leah”s lawsuit is scientology’s standard “a bigot is being mean to us poor victims” drivel. This one is especially unhinged, indicative of how worried David Miscavige is about this latest lawsuit naming him. The greater the purple prose and insanity of the inevitable ridiculous comparisons they make directly correlates to the level of volcanic eruption that occurred in the COB suite when he found out about the lawsuit. As Scientology responses go, this one is in the Hall of Fame. I am including their whole statement here in indented italics with my comments followi … [Read more...]
Best “Apology” Ever
This is perhaps the best "apology" ever issued to scientology, by an Irish satirical news organization Waterford Whispers News. I love the Irish, always have, but then spent some absolutely magical time in Dublin and my connection to the Irish became unbreakable. Their unique sense of humor and absolute "I don't give a shit what you think" attitude is so pervasive it could be called the national character. This piece illustrates everything I love about the Irish. If you have not seen it yet, enjoy! https://twitter.com/WhispersNewsLTD/status/1676186234152968192 … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Lying Response to Masterson Conviction
Of course, following the Masterson conviction, scientology put out a statement about how they have been subjected to "prejudice" and "bigotry." Here it is, in all it's holier-than-thou sliminess, and their usual outright lies. The prosecution's introduction of religion into this trial was an unprecedented violation of the First Amendment and affects the due process rights of every American. The Church was not a party to this case and religion did not belong in this proceeding as Supreme Court precedent has maintained for centuries. The District Attorney unconscionably centered his p … [Read more...]
Justice for Danny Masterson’s Victims
At last, a measure of justice for the victims of Danny Masterson. It has been too long coming. And these women have had to endure WAY too much to get to this point. Each of them are strong beyond comprehension to have survived the ordeal they were put through: first by Masterson, then by scientology, then by law enforcement and finally having to relive the horrendous events in not just one, but two trials. If you think you have any idea the emotional, mental and physical toll this sort of experience exacts, unless you have endured it personally, you cannot know. I hope these 3 victims, … [Read more...]
Always Be Inflitrating Part 2
Another example of scientology front groups at work, infiltrating organizations and then putting out press statements that announce their involvement in big, bold letters, and associate themselves with legitimate groups and organizations. This is the headline from their latest press release, date 6 May 2023. See Part 1 here. The Los Angeles Police Department and the Church of Scientology win the National Faith and Blue Weekend contest, illustrating how much can be accomplished when law enforcement and the community work together Of course, curious about this award, I … [Read more...]
Psychosomatic Conditions: An Analysis of Hubbard’s Claims
This article was sent to me by one of our readers, David Chirko. It is an academic analysis and thus rather dense and uses plenty of big words. It deserves to be recorded, it is thorough and cites to many sources, which in itself is an invaluable resource. Psychosomatic Conditions and the Church of Scientology By David Chirko, A.B. chirkoart.ca Sudbury, Ontario, Canada Psychological Researcher/Author Professional Affiliate Member, Division 49, American Psychological Association “Psychosomatic adj. 1. of or relating to the role of the mind…in diseases or dis … [Read more...]
The Scientology Celebrity Centre “Network” is Rapidly Disappearing
Aaron Smith-Levin did a video about the recent closure of the "Celebrity Centre Munich" and the abandoned St. Pete "Life Improvement Center" opened by the Tampa "Ideal Org." As every good scientologist knows, it is a High Crime in scientology to close or combine orgs. Since David Miscavige has taken over scientology, there have been many other closures and "combinings" -- including St Hill Foundation, specifically started by Ron himself with a lot of policy written by him about why "Foundation" (night and weekend) orgs were needed. Because Aaron … [Read more...]
Yes for Clearwater
Mark Bunker sent me the two videos below and asked that I share them here. I gladly do so and wholeheartedly support this effort. Citizens of Clearwater will vote on November 8 to allow the city to sell two parcels of land to developers (Mark explains the process in the second video). They are planning major construction that will bring people to downtown Clearwater -- despite scientology's best efforts to buy up all available properties and keep Clearwater on track to achieve their goal as "the first scientology city." This plan will throw a major wrench, or more aptly a whole … [Read more...]
