...or at least they are trying to according to Michael Lewis (who seems to be everywhere -- giving seminars on how to conduct life etc etc, perhaps this is a really long amends project following the massive bad PR his son generated). It's interesting to see the admission that Ed Parkin is his "boss"... The facade that STAND is a group of "like-minded individuals" who happen to share a common goal to eradicate religious persecution is of course a sham. This is in fact an OSA front group run by an OSA Int staff member, Ed Parkin, which has a select group of people who take orders from OSA to … [Read more...]
STAND League Clickbait
Apparently desperate to get some attention... This is how far down the tubes they have gone? A ridiculous headline that would shame the National Enquirer. And this is the text of the "article." It has absolutely no point. I suppose they think it's funny? Scientology are not renowned for their sense of humor. Secret documents obtained by this blog reveal that evil space mutants intent on the destruction of Earth have been secretly controlling the National Enquirer (purveyor of such scoops as “Adam and Eve Were Astronauts”) since 1999, when David Pecker (we do not make this … [Read more...]
Scientology is a Happy Place
I was perusing the STAAD website as I sometimes do, and came across this which caught my attention. The theme that scientology is fun is a tough pitch. Sounds all well and good, the old catchphrase used to be "If it's not fun it's not scientology." I am not sure if this was EVER true, but in these days of crush regging, enforced disconnection and endless re-do's of every level of the Bridge, I doubt there are many people, even the hardcore, who would describe scientology as "fun." But it's an appealing concept and makes scientology sound like a good thing. And then I read the body of … [Read more...]
Fast Eddie Parkin: Scientology Sockpuppet Hypocrite
The sockpuppet who heads the "Stand League", Ed Parkin, is the poster child for scientology crazy. Fast Eddie has been a low-level gofor in the Office of Special Affairs for many years. As I recall, he started out as Heber's administrative assistant sometime in the late 80's or early 90's and has remained a drone since then. He is the "face" of the "Stand League" and he has his "own" Twitter account. Though I have never commented on any of his posts, and he tweets at me often, he has me blocked. So do the Stand League. And like the Stand League and every other OSA twitter account … [Read more...]
Fast Eddie Update
Just as I like to check in on my "daughter's" site, I also like to check in on Fast Eddie Parkin every now and then and his crazy Twitter feed. Leader of the STAND League, Ed Parkin is an OSA flunkie last seen in public sitting in the gallery of one of the hearings on Val Haney's legal case taking notes to report back to the higher ups. Let's just start with an amazing piece of hypocrisy. Parkin is known for jumping on the bandwagon decrying violence against Jews. But at the same time he supports hate-filled anti-semitic rants from his bedfellows at the Nation of Islam. And then … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Happy Valentine’s Day Messages
Scientology uses any opportunity to try to get people to step inside their buildings. Each of these supposedly non-church activities is part and parcel of the same big ball of wax. And you can bet that if anyone is silly enough to attend any of these things and give their name, phone number or email they will be receiving SCIENTOLOGY promotional materials for the next 100 years. And here is another "Valentine's Day message" put up on my daughter's web page. The twisted logic of this one defies description. My message to you on this Valentine's Day is "hate your father and do everything you … [Read more...]
STAND League Rises From The Dead — Not Really
Nothing from the STAND League for some time, and then out of the blue they drag out the old "Rapist Apologists" tag line? Why? The upcoming hearing that is going to put this in the spotlight again? Some media contacted them about the allegations? The D/A sent a subpoena? Miscavige asked what they are doing about Remini and Rinder and they had to have something to show him? Who knows, but something happened, so they posted it twice in succession. And couldn't garner a single "like." Because they brought it up -- let me refer you to what we DID in fact say about … [Read more...]
The Rise in Hate Crimes Against the Jewish Community — Scientology’s Role
https://twitter.com/i/status/1222202928972402693 This statement by the Attorney General only highlights and confirms what is apparent to everyone in the country. Hate crimes against Jews have reached an unprecedented level. Behind these crimes are vile words that incite acts of violence. One of the major promoters of anti-Semitic hate is Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. And in turn, one of his main mouthpieces is Tony Muhammad, Western Regional Minister of the NOI. Minister Muhammad is also the poster child for the ugly marriage of convenience consummated between the … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Latest Lie About Me
While there have been many, many lies propagated by scientology about me, it still surprises me sometimes when they offer up new ones. This appeared a few days ago on my daughter's blog (though she is just the name and face that is used -- this garbage is written by the same people that churn out the drivel that appears on the STAND League and Freedom smear sites). The idea that I committed some grievous bodily harm on my ex-wife when she and 6 others stalked and accosted me in a doctors parking lot in 2010 has been thoroughly debunked on this blog (see Mike Rinder: "Lady Killer") … [Read more...]
Belief in Scientology
Another gem from the STAAD website. Things have really slowed down there. It seems without weekly airings of The Aftermath, their reason for existing has become muddled. They liked to pretend they were some altruistic exercise, but it was clear that was just a cover to be able to attack The Aftermath and its contributors. Nowadays their website is merely a collection of scientology talking points they use to try to convince the world they are "normal" and "like every other religion." But when they are not the subject of discussion, they seem to lose interest pretty quickly in fighting … [Read more...]
