Scientology takes great pains to present itself to the world as a champion of human rights. Their tag line is "Making Human Rights A Global Reality." Look at their website - the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is prominently featured. And their efforts to "ensure the human rights of everyone" are mentioned extensively. Same in Freedom magazine (when it is published -- seems to have dried up of late). Videos showing their wondrous human rights programs are routinely shown at Miscavige's Nuremberg Rally events. Here is the Freedom magazine home p … [Read more...]
How Scientology Views Its Marks
A revealing look inside the mind of the scientology vultures comes by way of an email from the infamous Barbara Dews,. It's all about the "close" to extract money from the mark. These are the tricks to getting someone to give you their money -- removing their "brick overcoats" of objections to handing over their money. My favorite is the "Unattached Female Buyer" -- get her with flattery. Nothing like some good old 50's sexism brought forward into today's world. Why? Because in the 1970's L. Ron Hubbard recommended this book, so this horribly outdated drivel will endure for all time as … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts
Just some random thoughts. Super Bowl ads: What a colossal waste of money. IF scientology really had an interest in "humanitarian works" they would not spend a dime buying airtime to pat themselves on the back -- because the money would be needed for their humanitarian works. In fact, these ads serve absolutely no purpose than trying to convince the INTERNAL public that scientology is still alive. The reaction from the general public is revulsion and ridicule. The tone of the ads was pretty strange, and could be summed up as "See, we are not as bad as you think we are." There was not … [Read more...]
Sadlanta
This org, under the wing of the mighty Flag OT Committee, has been going nowhere for years. They somehow managed to buy a building and hey presto, they are now nearly "ideal." Except for at least one very large problem. They have no staff. Their ribbon is supposed to be yanked BEFORE March 13 so Dear Leader Miscavige can proudly trumpet the massive international expansion they evidence at his birthday event. But that's turning out to be quite a problem. According to recent reports, there are TWENTY Sea Org members in the ATL trying to recruit SEVENTY staff so they can at least appear … [Read more...]
Irony Alert
This is not a shoop, a spoof or a joke (though SNL or John Oliver would be hard pressed to come up with satire to beat it). If you read this poster and took it to heart -- it would prevent most of the "donations" made by people to scientology. That is OBVIOUSLY not the intention. It's a fundraiser for Santa Barbara "ideal" org. But then again, if you read and follow L. Ron Hubbard policy on finance it would prevent most donations made to scientology. In scientology words do not mean what they say. They mean whatever you are told they mean. So "don't go further into debt" means "don't … [Read more...]
The Only Workable Administrative Technology On Earth
The item below is evidence that the "only workable administrative technology on earth" doesn't work. There has never been ANY org, ever that has managed to implement and maintain the vaunted Hubbard Admin Tech as it is written. Apologists claim it is because people "don't apply it correctly" but that is a silly argument because after 60 years if not a single person has managed to be able to apply it as written, then it is not "workable." There is no scientology organization on earth that has EVER been able to maintain the arcane, "Central Files" system mandated by "policy." Not one, … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Big Time Brown-nosing
I mentioned this in passing before but have not had time to go through and provide commentary on the Impact magazine featuring the annual IAS event. But I could not leave this tidbit til after XMas. If Saturday Night Live or John Oliver set out to satirize the fawning worship of money in scientology again, they would be hard pressed to come up with anything that tops this. The IAS event in the UK, and the annual Gala dinner the following night, are the biggest moments in the fundraising year in scientology. They are the single most important day on the scientology calendar now, far … [Read more...]

Scientology Psychiatric Hypocrisy
The hypocrisy of scientology knows no bounds. While proclaiming "the psychs" to be the "source of all evil and degradation on planet earth" amidst announcements of programs to "destroy psychiatry", "eradicate psychiatry" and "obliterate psychiatry" and promoting their "Psychiatry, An Industry of Death" "museum/exhibit," apparently psychs are A-OK as long as they are an element of "dealing with an SP." This practice is known as "Fair Game" -- and while the church claims "the policy is canceled", the PRACTICE is demonstrated routinely as a fundamental tenet of scientology. And here we go … [Read more...]
Wake Up The Government
This was posted on ESMB and then Karen De La Carriere reposted it to Twitter and Facebook. It is worth taking note. Letters from CONSTITUENTS are treated seriously by elected officials. The more US Congressmen there are who have been made aware of the issue, the greater the chance of something being done. The IRS is answerable to Congress. Sooner or later this is going to become an issue that one or more politicians will feel they can gain popularity with. When that day happens, the more there are to jump on the bandwagon the better. Writing to your Congressman IS an effective means of … [Read more...]
