Another hype-filled "press release" from scientology presents a completely false picture of scientology and L. Ron Hubbard. They peg this announcement of a scientologyTV show about Joburg org to "the cradle of civilization" -- making it seem that scientology actually aligns with this concept of evolution. It goes on to explain how the new episode covers Johannesburg's history, "including its singular distinction as "The Cradle of Humankind"—the place where humanity started." It is little wonder they don't mention what scientologists actually believe, described in Hubbard's bizarre h … [Read more...]
ScientologyTV — A Spectacular Flop
A new press release from scientology breathlessly announces the "new season" of ScientologyTV. Though it is a little odd, they seem caught in the "preparing" and "gearing up" as ScientologyTV is apparently just "setting the stage" for a new season? Whatever that means. This has truly been one of the biggest cash drains in the history of scientology. They not only spend millions creating their slick propaganda pieces, they also PAY to have this dross available on DirecTV and other providers. It is costing a huge amount of money, to reach NO audience. They have never provided … [Read more...]
Wisdom from Ron on the Evil of TV
While scientology continues to promote ScientologyTV network (and don't you dare refer to it as a streaming channel --even though that is exactly what it is -- or scientology will accuse you of being a bigot because you don't buy into their "network" nomenclature) it seems they have forgotten, or are ignoring the wisdom of their Founder. L. Ron Hubbard banned TV for Sea Org members, referring to it as: "only a pattern of lights and shadows which is a restimulative mechanism to shuffle your bank around, and give you again some segment of that which you have already experienced." Below is an … [Read more...]
We’re Clearing the Planet Now — For Real
The latest and greatest in the scientology world. The professional Scientology Network disseminator kit…. There is ALWAYS something "new" that is the "next big thing" in scientology. This one seems particularly lame. Like something you might see in a Regraded Being cartoon, or the "secret decoder ring" in a cereal box. What is this? Who knows? But one thing for sure, it is not going to accomplish ANYTHING... BTW, for fun, Christie and I tuned in to scientologyTV for a bit the other night. What is so remarkable about it is that it is all hat and no cattle. It's well shot, lit … [Read more...]
ScientologyTV “All New Season”
Well, the "All New Season" of scientologyTV was an underwhelming flop. We have a LOT more new and original programming on SPTV. This is what is listed as the programming when I clicked on the site. "A Description of scientology" which has been aired several times a day every day since they started their "TV channel." Then a tour of the Sydney "ideal org" -- really a sort of travelogue of the city itself. Don't know if it was there previously, they have had these videos about "orgs" since day one and they all look the same other than the city they are in. Then they have 3 "shows" … [Read more...]
Reaction: The “All New Season” of ScientologyTV
Panic in the bunker -- Captain Miscavige is launching a new counter-attack! We have been expanding SPTV on YouTube and I began promoting: "Welcome to SPTV. New, entertaining and truthful -- unlike scientologyTV" I guess this ruffled Mr. Mickiewicz's feathers. So, they are now announcing a "new season" -- hah. They will add a couple of their staged propaganda videos and keep the same old crap on a loop for the other 23.5 hours a day. But the sheeple will be convinced, without even tuning in, that there is an "all new season." Simply because the powers that be say there is. It … [Read more...]
Scientology: Trying to Buy Their Way Out of Disaster
Things are really not going well in the shrinking world of scientology. First, the release of A Billion Years. The scientology response? Buying Google ads to promote their smear sites which have a flurry of new content. A blizzard of legal threats letters and delegations of lawyers and scientology officials sent across the country to "handle the flap." Then the upcoming vote in Clearwater for a development plan that David Miscavige must HATE -- it will result in two large condo towers right in front of the Ft Harrison, and a huge increase in the number of prying eyes in downtown … [Read more...]
Scientology TV Flatline
Not really "views." They probably mean clicks. Keep paying those clickfarms enough and they will get you a billion. This is part of the lies presented to the sheeple that there is "massive interest" in scientology and new people are "flooding up the Bridge." Don't try and make sense of the image they have used. Just read the text. The image is bizarre -- broken hearted planet? Planetary heart attack? Valentine's Day? Who knows? Here is some reality. ScientologyTV showing they have a total of 160 viewers! Most of those are probably staff and registrars hoping to find some raw … [Read more...]
Mad Hatter John Mappin Still Raving
Both Tony Ortega and I have published previous stories about crazy hotel guy John Mappin and his wife Irina. They run the very creepy "castle" in England from whence they spout their fanatical following of Donald Trump even though they are not US citizens or residents. Mad Scientologist John Mappin At It Again Now the dynamic duo are promoting Trump's new social media platform as part of a bizarre rant about Suppressives (sent out in almost unreadable white on black text which I had to enlarge and screenshot to make readable). These clowns mirror the … [Read more...]
Defending the Indefensible: Scientology TV
Of all things, STAND is complaining about The Hollywood Reporter's "biased" and "bigoted" coverage of the dismal flop that is ScientologyTV They dredge up some old stuff they have used before about the founder of THR being a communist scare merchant in the days of McCarthyism to prove that the Reporter has a "history" of bias and bigotry and that somehow makes it so today... An interesting standard that they might want to think through a little better, given their illustrious founder's checkered history and the fact that 11 leaders (including his wife) went to Federal prison... I guess … [Read more...]
