Scientology - The Communist Ideal

Socialist Communism is a moral, social or political outlook that places interdependence and the importance of the group/state over and above the rights, wants or needs of the individual. The outlook is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is diametrically opposed to individualism.  What does this have to do with Scientology?  I am glad you asked.

Scientology is actually worse than Communism in that the group/state is not the governing agent, but is beholden to the whims of its leader with absolutely no checks and balances. This type of regime might flourish under a beneficent leader, but under a sociopathic dictator such as Hubbard or Miscavige it is only a dog-eat-dog hierarchy of toadies and the individual be damned.

In 1960, Hubbard established within Scientology, The Department of Government Affairs.  The goals of this department were completely political:

"The object of the Department is to broaden the impact of Scientology upon governments and other organizations and is to conduct itself so as to make the name and repute of Scientology better and more forceful. Therefore defensive tactics are frowned upon in the department.... Only attacks resolve threats.

The goal of the Department is to bring the government and hostile philosophies or societies into a state of complete compliance with the goals of Scientology. This is done by a high level ability to control and in its absence by low level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies. Scientology is the only game on Earth where everybody wins." 

This department was soon swallowed up by the Guardians Office and now is part of Scientologys Office of special Affairs (OSA).  One example of this is, even years after Hubbard's death, OSA seemed to follow this aggressive policy in its rancorous dealings with the American IRS prior to the favorable tax decision. A prominent legal publication indicated that, in 1992, there were "approximately 100 suits by Scientology and its related entities pending" against the IRS. The actual number of suits, however, was dramatically higher, since a Scientology magazine stated that, as a consequence of the IRS ruling, "the 2,300 cases that had been brought to Tax Court by Scientologists whose deductions for Scientology services had been denied were all brought to an end"  - (IAS)

In 1964, Hubbard had revealed revealed his desire to gain control over an jurisdictional area. To readers (mostly Scientologists) he elaborated plans to ensure world peace by building an international city to which all "heads of government, congresses, and parliaments" would move. Amidst directives pertaining to an array of issues (i.e., the city's armed forces, government, extradition powers, finances, etc.), Hubbard stated that "the United Nations and national governments [must be persuaded] that they have no interest in matters of healing or welfare and may not legislate for or against them, nor assist to create health monopolies...". Moreover, "The United Nations should not be permitted to define or outline 'orthodox science' or introduce any idea of orthodoxy into any science or the humanities except government". Along these same lines, "nor should the United Nations or National Governments be permitted to require the indoctrination in any way of the citizens of states or countries, nor pronounce upon their mental fitness or lack of it". At the very least Hubbard wanted a major geographical locale where Scientology would have equal footing with traditional forms of mental health. The project remained mythical, but the mere title of the scheme (Scientology: Plan for World Peace) suggested Hubbard's desire to gain control over a governmental area in order to allow the unbridled practice of his ideology within it.  As the supposed editor of the booklet proclaimed about "L. Ron Hubbard, Ph.D." and his proposal, "This Plan for World Peace was foreshadowed in Dr. Hubbard's famous books Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health (1950) and Science of Survival"

I want you to understand that Hubbards master plan is still in effect in the minds of David Miscavige, the Sea Organization and the Office of Special Affairs.  Through its "secular" organizations under the umbrella of A.B.L.E. (Association for Better Living and Education), which is run by OSA, Scientology attempts to infiltrate every area of life, in every country where they can get a foot in the door.  I will list just a few of these groups here.  If you wish, you can see more at the excellent website by Arnie Lerma.

BETTER FAMILY RELATIONS ASSOCIATION (Australia) - Front group for the church headed by Scientology.  Eva Ross . Writes letters and articles attacking any persons or groups who expose the truth about Scientology.

Business Success Sales and Management Training - Sci. management front that lures people and businesses in with "management training" and seminars, eventually steers them to LRH and Scientology.

Celebrity Center Kids on Stage for a Better World - Entertainment and PR, "The group exists to spread the word of Scientology to the rest of the world"

Child Guidance Centers - Set up by Scientologists, runs child Dianetics processing on children and encourages parents who are not already into Scientology to begin with Dianetics etc.

CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS (CCHR) - Founded by church of Scientology in 1969. Claim: to help people who have been abused or mistreated by psychology or psychiatry and/or mental institutions. Intention: to defame, devalue, discredit and destroy the field of psychology and psychiatry because they have disclaimed Dianetics and L. Ron Hubbard as a schizophrenic. Disseminates reports discrediting psychiatry and individual psychiatrists.

COMMUNITY SERVICE GUILD - established in Washington D.C. by Scientology to get LRH influence involved in public schools with a tutoring program.

COMPUTER ETHICS INSTITUTE - (CEI) - Used by Scientology in their attempt to gain control over what can and cannot be put over the Internet.

Criminon consists of volunteers, that are Scientologists, distributing copies of Hubbard's covert recruitment tool "The Way to Happiness" that is full of little common sense quotes. There is nothing inherently wrong with the quotes themselves, though better quotes are available from the truly great writers and philosophers that Hubbard stole them from. What is important to understand about Criminon, is that the purpose of the program is to RECRUIT people into Scientology, NOT to help reform prisoners, despite Scientology's lies to the contrary. The purpose of the program, is to create the perception that L. Ron Hubbard was some great man instead of the convicted felon that he actually was, Why would any Prison Warden official allow a program based upon the writings of a convicted felon to be used at all, much less as a covert recruitment tool into an organization convicted in Canada for Breach of the Public Trust? Copies of "Way to Happiness" are distributed, and then people already fooled by Hubbard's lies, "Scientologists", correspond in writing with the prisoners about the quotes in the book. The purpose? Is to recruit more members. Conclusion? Criminon is just another bogus, covert recruitment tool.

NARCONON - Chain of alcohol and drug rehabs that promote and lead to LRH and Scientology.  Narconon uses only the "technology" developed by Hubbard.  It is dangerous to addicts and alcoholics because it does not have any education for addiction or alcoholism, does not provide medical treatment of any kind and uses toxic levels of Niacin and vitamins on the sweat program.  Narconon also sponsors "drug education" programs in elementary, middle and high schools in an attempt to get Hubbard data to children.


STERLING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - a management and consulting firm that lures businesses in with "management' seminars, and then steers them to LRH and Scientology courses. - Part of WISE - WISE entraps businesses into Hubbardian dogma by claiming to sell them management technology. Arnie Lerma says "I was trained in Scientology Financial "management" policy, I was astounded to find, some 25 years later, as I read a copy of circus showman P.T. Barnum's "Art of Money Getting: Or, Golden Rules for Making Money" -available from Amazon, to find that it was where Hubbard stole his "management technology". Sections are almost reproduced verbatim! If you have been, or know somebody who has been fooled by WISE management" , you could save a lot of money by "going to source" and buying P.T. Barnum's book, "The Art of Money Getting" for $6..., If you know someone who is a WISE member, P.T, Barnum's book might help open their eyes to the con."



THE WAY TO HAPPINESS FOUNDATION,  -  Function to distribute LRH literature to public schools and community organizations. Get name recognition for L Ron Hubbard.  This is done on a worldwide basis.


WORLD LITERACY CRUSADE - A reading program outreach developed to get LRH Tech and Scientology influence into public schools and communities. One of Scientology's famous celebrities who was successfully advertising for the front group was Musician/Actor Isaac Hayes. Great opportunity for PR and political and community influence.



These seemingly innocuous groups are Scientologys insidious way of getting Hubbards data into every aspect of life in bite sized, easily digested bits.  You should be aware that if you let them into your community, you are allowing Scientology another inch, and they WILL take a mile.

Thanks for being here today.  Please come back soon.

Scientology - Licensed to Kidnap and Kill

In the wake of the Lisa McPherson case and the ensuing lawsuit, Scientology management had to come up with a way to not generate any more bad press and to avoid further lawsuits.  One thing they could not do is discontinue using the Introspection Rundown (which was responsible for McPherson's death).  After all, it was policy written by Hubbard which he had touted as "a technical breakthrough which possibly ranks with the major discoveries of the twentieth century. It is certainly the greatest advancement of 1973 and is now being released after a final wrap-up of research."  Hubbard claimed that he had found the definitive cure for Psychosis.  What he didn't say was that this type of psychosis is caused by cognitive dissonance brought on by upper level Scientology training and processing.

In 2000, Professor Stephen Kent of the University of Alberta, an expert on the sociology of religion, and Scientology in particular, submitted an affidavit in the wrongful death suit in which he stated that: "Seen in historical context, the Introspection Rundown is the culmination of pseudo-psychiatric and pseudo-medical therapies that dates back to the founding of Dianetics and runs through Scientology up to the present day. Nothing about the Introspection Rundown is religious. Hubbard's stated secular intention was to eliminate psychiatry, and Lisa McPherson fell victim to an organization, Scientology's Flag Service Org, whose members were following Scientology policy."

So instead, Miscavige and his henchmen got together with the legal department and came up with a legal contract (known to us as the Lisa clause) that every Scientologist has to sign before taking courses or processing.  Here it is:

Church of Scientology

Flag Service Organization

(hereinafter referred to as "the Church")

Agreement and General Release

Regarding Spiritual Assistance

1. I, ___________________________________, recognize, acknowledge and agree that I am exclusively responsible for my present and future condition in life and for the choices and decisions I make affecting my life. With that in mind, and solely of my own volition and in the independent exercise of my own free will, I am voluntarily signing and submitting to CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY _________________________ (hereinafter the "Church") this AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE REGARDING SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE (hereinafter this "Contract") so that, upon its acceptance by the Church, I may participate in Scientology Religious Services and spiritual assistance under the terms, conditions, covenants, waivers and releases I agree to by signing this contract, and by doing so, I specifically acknowledge and reaffirm all other waivers, releases and agreements I have signed with any Church of Scientology.

2. This contract is my statement of my personal understanding concerning Scientology religious tenets and my statements reflecting my own beliefs and desires. By signing this Contract, I recognize, acknowledge and agree that:

a. Scientology is a religion, the Church is a church of the Scientology religion and all the services and activities of the Scientology religion are exclusively religious in nature.

b. Scientology is unalterably opposed, as a matter of religious belief, to the practice of psychiatry, and espouses as a religious belief that the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in nonreligious fields. I am in full agreement with this religious belief. I do not believe in or subscribe to psychiatric labels for individuals It is my strongly held religious belief that all mental problems are spiritual in nature and that there is no such thing as a mentally incompetent person-- only those suffering from spiritual upset of one kind or another dramatized by an individual. I reject all psychiatric labels and intend for this Contract to clearly memorialize my desire to be helped exclusively through religious, spiritual means and not through any form of psychiatric treatment, specifically including involuntary commitment based on so-called lack of competence. Under no circumstances, at any time, do I wish to be denied my right to care from members of my religion to the exclusion of psychiatric care or psychiatric directed care, regardless of what any psychiatrist, medical person, designated member of the state or family member may assert supposedly on my behalf. If circumstances should ever arise in which government, medical or psychiatric officials or personnel or family members or friends attempt to compel or coerce or commit me for psychiatric evaluation, treatment or hospitalization, I fully desire and expect that the Church or Scientologists will intercede on my behalf to oppose such efforts and/or extricate me from that predicament so my spiritual needs may be addressed in accordance with the tenets of the Scientology religion.

c. As I so strongly disagree, as a matter of religious principle, with the use of psychiatric treatment for anyone, including myself, I reject the usage of psychiatric labels and I believe in assisting individuals through religious and spiritual means. Therefore, I am hereby specifying that should I get into a situation in the future, unlikely as it is, where others may think that I need psychiatric treatment of any kind, that I instead desire to receive Scientology spiritual assistance and that it can include, but is not limited to, the Introspection Rundown. Further, I realize that in the future it may consequently be suggested by a senior Scientology minister, should the need arise, that I receive such spiritual assistance, and again, I want to make it clear that under such circumstances I desire to receive Scientology Spiritual Assistance, which may include, but not be limited to, the Introspection Rundown.d. The Scientology religion teaches that the spirit can be saved and that the spirit alone may save or heal the body, and the Introspection Rundown is intended to save the spirit. I understand that the Introspection Rundown is an intensive, rigorous Religious Service that includes being isolated from all sources of potential spiritual upset, including but not limited to family members, friends or others with whom I might normally interact. As part of the Introspection Rundown, I specifically consent to Church members being with me 24 hours a day at the direction of my Case Supervisor, in accordance with the tenets and custom of the Scientology religion. The Case Supervisor will determine the time period in which I will remain isolated, according to the beliefs and practices of the Scientology religion. I further specifically acknowledge that the duration of any such isolation is uncertain, determined only by my spiritual condition, but that such duration will be completely at the discretion of the Case Supervisor. I also specifically consent to the presence of Church members around the clock for whatever length of time is necessary to perform the Introspection Rundown's processes and to achieve the spiritual results of the Introspection Rundown. I understand, acknowledge and agree that the Introspection Rundown addresses only the individual's spiritual needs and I freely consent, without reservation, and without condition or limitation, to Church members conducting the Introspection Rundown, and that I accept and assume all known and unknown risks of injury, loss, or damage resulting from my decision to participate in the Introspection Rundown and specifically absolve all persons and entities from all liabilities of any kind, without limitation, associated with my participation or their participation in my Introspection Rundown. 

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS CONTRACT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS AND CONSEQUENCES. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE UNLESS I SIGN THIS CONTRACT. WHILE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT I WILL EVER BE IN A CONDITION WHERE PSYCHIATRIC INTERVENTION MAY BE DEEMED AN OPTION, I HEREWITH REAFFIRM THAT IN SUCH AN EVENT I WISH TO RECEIVE ONLY SCIENTOLOGY SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTROSPECTION RUNDOWN, AND THAT THIS CHOICE IS AN INDEPENDENT EXERCISE OF MY OWN FREE WILL. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT BY SIGNING BELOW, I AM FOREVER GIVING UP MY RIGHT TO SUE THE CHURCH, ITS STAFF AND ANY OF THE RELEASEES NAMED IN THE GENERAL RELEASE I SIGNED, FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE SUFFERED IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SCIENTOLOGY RELIGIOUS SERVICES OR SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE.

I sign this Agreement and General Release Regarding Spiritual Assistance on this __ day of _________, 20__, intending to be legally bound to it, and request that I be permitted to participate in spiritual assistance.

What this means for the poor, unsuspecting Scientologist is that if the flip out on course, on post, or in auditing, or if they are at home when they flip out and their family has them committed for observation is that people from the "church" can come in and take them and hold them against their will for as long as it takes until they are deemed cured of their psychosis.

The Catholic Church may have its problems but you will not have to sign a contract not to sue in order to take communion.  Linda Hight, A spokeswoman for Scientology said that the contract is self-explanatory.

"I'm sure you know the English language," she said, "and you know what it means."

She described psychiatry as "barbaric, harmful, and fraudulent." "The contract is drawn up," Hight added, "for those who wish [to use it]." Seriously though, if the Lisa case was the only abuse on the Introspection Rundown it would be bad enough, but there are many other cases of abuse on this rundown that many people are unaware of. 

In an interview by FactNet, Jesse Prince had this to say:

L: Rick Clinger's wife, Cat Clinger is her real name.

J: She wasn't his wife at this time, he was married to someone else. Her name was Cat Morrow when I was there. She was the head of the Wolly unit, Wolly World, data collection. They called it Wolly World. She was under extreme pressure at a point in time where she wasn't sleeping, she wasn't eating, she was being screamed at 60% of the day, just working day and night, and she flipped. At which point, you know, it seems like people do just go to a certain point and it's not like you can say, I'm sorry, let's go to bed now. No, they don't sleep anymore, they are over the edge. She got the standard treatment of being locked up in a room by herself to scream and just do everything. No restraint, physically.

L: They physically locked her up when she went psychotic?

J: Yeah. They hold you under guard when that happens.

L: Against your will?

J: Absolutely. Just like Lisa McPherson , the standard practice. You are incarcerated at that point, and you're not going to be un-incarcerated until they think you're OK.

L: So is that all you know about Cat, that she was locked up? Do you know of other people that were locked up, who went psychotic against their will?

J: Yes, well one person that Stacy Young and I had to watch a girl named Teresa, we were watching her together.

L: Teresa, what was her last name?

J: I don't know her last name. She was a staff member at Gold. There was some big deadline about getting up a new Mark 7, and she was a Spanish girl, a cultural girl. She had skin pretty much the color of mine, black hair, very pretty girl, young girl, about 19 or 20. She was made to stay up day and night, soldering wires and crap to the e-meter, like on assembly. She started to loose it. The higher RC was saying she's out ethics, she's making overt products, that's why. Then the next thing you know, this girl is speaking and in a place so different than anyone else. She's gone over the edge, she's babbling. She's talking all out of her head. They immediately took her from the Hemet base and put her in Happy Valley, which is a little compound that they have where the children stay, it's by an Indian reservation. My God, talk about first hand experience. Stacy and I and that girl Susie Watson Taylor and a couple of guys, it was like 5 of us watching this girl, keeping her confined to a house. One time she got out of the house and there was this huge cactus out in the yard, and she pulled with her bare hand, one of the leaves off, threw it on the ground, and jumped up and down on the damn thing. I mean, her body was pierced everywhere. She didn't feel a thing, she was laughing. I along with a bunch of other people, pulled the thorns out of her, put hydrogen peroxide on her, and she had a fever, but still would not sleep, would not sleep. This went on for about 3 days. Then she started getting little cat naps. Now, I am so worried, because this woman is talking in voices. She hit me harder than I think I've ever been hit in my life, and now here comes Dr. Denk out there. He has five of us hold her down and he gives her a shot, to make her go to sleep. Her last words is, before she goes under, she looks me right in the eyes and says, "I'm not going to forget you for this Jesse, I'm going to get you." And she conks out. Me of all people. Everyone watched her, she ways this to me. Well, she slept for 2 hours and she was right the hell back up. They tried to give her pills and all of this stuff. Anyway, to make a long story short, it took about a month and a half for this woman to start sleeping again, and then making her eat again. She was getting introspection run down, passing notes back and forth to the case supervisor. She says she wants to go, no one will let her go.

L: She said she wanted to leave, they wouldn't let her out?

J: No.

L: Did Denk know she had gone psychotic?

J: Yes, that' why he was out there giving her a shot. We were worried that she was going to die because she wasn't sleeping, and was getting wilder and wilder and wilder. She ran off and just ran up a damn mountain. No one could even follow her. She was running faster than the dogs.

L: They have dogs out there, chasing -

J: No, just dogs hanging around, ranch dogs. Dogs couldn't even keep up with her. This woman had super-human strength.

L: She was psychotic?

J: Completely, utterly, totally.

L: Were they worried about the woman or were they worried that the Riverside police might come onto the compound?

J: It goes beyond that, her parents were calling, wanting to know where her daughter is.

L: Were they lying to the parents?

J: Yes.

L: The parents were worried and they were lying.

J: She's fine, she's just been working too hard, she's just taking a break. Wouldn't let the parents talk to her, but then, after a while, she was allowed to call her parents. She was told what the hell to say.

L: She was told what to tell them?

J: Yeah.

L: So she was held against her will, her parents were lied to, this was in Riverside County, and Denk knew that she was being held against her will when he administered the shots to her?

J: Right.

L: Did Denk, did you ever hear of Dink going to anyone else who was being held against his will and giving them medication of any kind, anyone that was in a psychotic state or locked up?

J: No, that's the only one that I personally was a witness to. The girl finally came to herself a little better, she was immediately sent away.

And then there is:

The Prisoners of Saint Hill

The Independent

Monday 31 January 1994

by Tim Kelsey and Mike Ricks

The Scientologists call it "baby-watching", but it has nothing to do with looking after infants. TIM KELSEY and MIKE RICKS investigate the potentially dangerous, and possibly illegal, secret treatment that the  world's largest cult uses to deal with difficult members.

The middle-aged German student started screaming. He seemed to have lost control. He was a Scientologist, a member of the world's largest cult, on a course of study that, he had been promised, would bring him closer to the secrets of the universe and, eventually, give him the key to eternal life.

According to eyewitnesses, the man, whose name is known to the "Independent", was taken to an isolated room in a communal building not far from Saint Hill, a 17th-century manor house in East Grinstead, West Sussex, and the UK headquarters of the cult.

For two weeks, the room was locked.  The German had been placed on an "isolation watch" - or what Scientologists more informally refer to as a "baby watch".  It is a treatment that was prescribed by the founder of the cult, L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer, for members showing signs of psychosis or mental ill-health -- people who are, literally, plagued by evil spirits. It is the last resort for dealing with difficult Scientologists. It is a treatment that the organisation has so far kept secret.

The subject of the watch is observed at all times, and not allowed to talk to anybody.  He or she is, in the language of the cult, "muzzled".  Our witnesses, who have asked to remain anonymous, remember that the German was sometimes incontinent and that they had to wash him down at the sink in the otherwise bare

room. The five people who guarded him were only allowed to communicate with him in writing.  Eventually he was allowed to return to Germany.

I think you get the idea.  In a sane society, this policy alone should have gotten Scientology shut down a long, long time ago.  Please watch the short video below for more information.

WARNING:  THE FOLLOWING VIDEO CONTAINS VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES.  VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

The Psychology of an Abusive Cult Leader

I decided to look into the lives and teachings of some abusive cult leaders and see if there was a pattern and to see if David Miscavige, and of course L. Ron Hubbard fit into these parameters.  I found that there has been a lot of work in this area, and indeed, there are many traits that almost all abusive cult leaders have in common.  These studies have included the likes of Jim Jones (Jonestown Guyana), David Karesh (Branch Davidians), Stewart Traill (The Church of Bible Understanding), Charles Manson, Shoko Asahara (Aum Shinrikyo), Joseph Di Mambro (The Order of the Solar Temple aka Ordre du Temple Solaire), Marshall Heff Applewhit (Heaven’s Gate), Bhagwan Rajneesh (Rajneesh Movement), and Warren Jeffs (polygamist leader).  According to psychologist and ex-F.B.I agent Joe Navarro

"What stands out about these individuals is that they were or are all pathologically narcissistic. They all have or had an over-abundant belief that they were special, that they and they alone had the answers to problems, and that they had to be revered. They demanded perfect loyalty from followers, they overvalued themselves and devalued those around them, they were intolerant of criticism, and above all they did not like being questioned or challenged. And yet, in spite of these less than charming traits, they had no trouble attracting those who were willing to overlook these features."

Let's take an amalgamation of these leaders and see what traits they have in common:

Here are the typical traits of the pathological cult leader you should watch for and which shout caution, get away, run, or avoid if possible: 

He has a grandiose idea of who he is and what he can achieve.

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or brilliance.

Demands blind unquestioned obedience.

Requires excessive admiration from followers and outsiders.

Has a sense of entitlement - expecting to be treated special at all times.

Is exploitative of others by asking for their money or that of relatives putting others at financial risk.

Is arrogant and haughty in his behavior or attitude.

Has an exaggerated sense of power (entitlement) that allows him to bend rules and break laws.

Takes sexual advantage of members of his sect or cult.

Sex is a requirement with adults and sub adults as part of a ritual or rite.

Is hypersensitive to how he is seen or perceived by others. 

Publicly devalues others as being inferior, incapable, or not worthy.

Makes members confess their sins or faults publicly subjecting them to ridicule or humiliation while revealing exploitable weaknesses of the penitent.

Has ignored the needs of others, including: biological, physical, emotional, and financial needs.

Is frequently boastful of accomplishments.

Needs to be the center of attention and does things to distract others to insure that he or she is being noticed by arriving late, using exotic clothing, over dramatic speech, or by making theatrical entrances.

Has insisted in always having the best of anything (house, car, jewelry, clothes) even when others are relegated to lesser facilities, amenities, or clothing.

Doesn’t seem to listen well to needs of others, communication is usually one-way in the form of dictates.

Haughtiness, grandiosity, and the need to be controlling is part of his personality.

Behaves as though people are objects to be used, manipulated or exploited for personal gain.

When criticized he tends to lash out not just with anger but with rage.

Anyone who criticizes or questions him is called an “enemy.”

Refers to non-members or non-believers in him as “the enemy.”

Acts imperious at times, not wishing to know what others think or desire.

Believes himself to be omnipotent.

Has “magical” answers or solutions to problems.

Is superficially charming.

Habitually puts down others as inferior and only he is superior.

Has a certain coldness or aloofness about him that makes others worry about who this person really is and or whether they really know him.

Is deeply offended when there are perceived signs of boredom, being ignored or of being slighted.

Treats others with contempt and arrogance.

Is constantly assessing for those who are a threat or those who revere him.

The word “I” dominates his conversations. He is oblivious to how often he references himself.

Hates to be embarrassed or fail publicly - when he does he acts out with rage.

Doesn’t seem to feel guilty for anything he has done wrong nor does he apologize for his actions.

Believes he possesses the answers and solutions to world problems.

Believes himself to be a deity or a chosen representative of a deity.

Rigid, unbending, or insensitive describes how this person thinks.

Tries to control others in what they do, read, view, or think.

Has isolated members of his sect from contact with family or outside world.

Monitors and or restricts contact with family or outsiders.

Works the least but demands the most.

Has stated that he is “destined for greatness” or that he will be “martyred.”

Seems to be highly dependent of tribute and adoration and will often fish for compliments.

Uses enforcers or sycophants to insure compliance from members or believers.

Sees self as “unstoppable” perhaps has even said so.

Conceals background or family which would disclose how plain or ordinary he is.

Doesn’t think there is anything wrong with himself – in fact sees himself as perfection or “blessed.”

Has taken away the freedom to leave, to travel, to pursue life, and liberty of followers.

Has isolated the group physically (moved to a remote area) so as to not be observed.

When a cult or organizational leader has a preponderance of these traits then we can anticipate that at some point those who associate with him will likely suffer physically, emotionally, psychologically, or financially. If these traits sound familiar to leaders, groups, sects, or organizations known to you then expect those who associate with them to live in despair and to suffer even if they don’t know it, yet.

Two writers on the subject used the label "Trust Bandit" to describe the psychopathic personality.Trust Bandit is indeed an apt description of this thief of our hearts, souls, minds, bodies, and pocketbooks. Since a significant percentage of current and former cult members have been in more than one cultic group or relationship, learning to recognize the personality style of the Trust Bandit can be a useful antidote to further abuse.

The Profile of a Psychopath

In reading the profile, bear in mind the three characteristics that Robert Lifton sees as common to a cultic situation:

1. A charismatic leader who...increasingly becomes the object of worship

2. A series of processes that can be associated with "coercive persuasion" or "thought reform"

3. The tendency toward manipulation from above...with exploitation--economic, sexual, or other--of often genuine seekers who bring idealism from below.

Steve Hassan (former cult member turned psychologist) says, "It's shocking to me that so many people today have not even heard of Jonestown". But Hassan observes the lasting psychological effects every day in his work with former cult victims, and he says cults are growing more powerful and more cunning in their deceit--often by using psychological research findings--while the public remains largely unaware of them.

If cults are going to abuse lessons from social psychology, psychologists must study how they are doing this, Cialdini says. More attention to researching and working with cult victims is needed, Hassan adds. For example, psychologists need specific training to work with former cult members, who often suffer from dissociative or panic disorders, he explains.

"There are lots of individuals who are suffering," Hassan says, "and they need our help."

Referring back to Hubbard and Miscavige, I think you can see that they share too many of the above traits to be ignored and that indeed, people who have loved ones in the "church" of Scientology should have grave concerns for the well-being of those loved ones.

Thanks for dropping by.  I will be interested in your views.  If you have the time, please see the video below to look into some of the mind of L. Ron Hubbard.

Another Petition - Why We Should Sign It

Ok.  I know how you feel.  Every time we have had a petition up, even when we had the required amount of signatures, it hasn't gone the way we wanted it.  Now, it seems to have us daunted because the required number of signatures is much higher.  It is up to 100,000 now.  So far we have only gotten 2137 as of this writing.  We only have until February 20th to get the remaining signatures.

I would like to put this in sports terms for a minute.  Every time a batter comes to the plate, the odds against that man hitting a home run are 1 in 35.26.  Each time you come to bat, you are that much closer to a hit.  There is only of definite in this equation.  If you don't walk up to the plate, you will never get a hit.

This time we are asking that the President remove the religious and tax exempt status of the "church" of Scientology.  Here is the petition:

 WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Recognize that the Church of Scientology is harmful to both its members and critics and revoke tax exempt 
status.

It is obvious that the Church of Scientology is physically and psychologically abusing its members in an attempt to extort from them.

Scientology is abusing its legal classification as a religion to deny its members basic human rights and operate as a criminal organization. It is time to revoke the status it so wantonly abuses.

It is also time to recognize the Church's abuse of the United States legal system to illegally impose its will on those that would criticize Scientology and its practices and bring to light the true purpose of Scientology: to take advantage of people through extortion, intimidation, and faux-religious blind-siding.

I urge to to please sign this petition and to get as many people as you can to sign as well.  It is so important to keep our fight in the public eye at this time.  Many people are saying that they "church" is going down what with all of the bad publicity going on.  We know that is not true.  Scientology has survived worse.  It is up to us to keep up the pressure on the government and to educate the people at large.  Please make sure that everyone you know signs this petition.  Please copy and paste the following link into your browsers location bar:   https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/recognize-church-scientology-harmful-both-its-members-and-%20%20critics-and-revoke-tax-exempt-status/KKbqybP9

Thank you for listening to me.

What Scientology Does To It's Enemies

First off let's define who Scientology's enemies are.  First, you have the public (Scientology's paying parishioners) that have left Scientology and spoken out, or have embarrassed Scientology in some way (usually by bringing a law suit against another Scientologist that could bring out some Scientology secrets into the public eye).  Second, you have ex staff members and ex Sea Org members that have come to the realization that Scientology doesn't work as advertised and are telling their stories publicly so that others don't get hooked into this oppressive cult.  Lastly, there are people outside Scientology (press, authors, television personalities, politicians, law enforcement, lawyers, judges and others), who dare to publicly disclose Scientology's crimes and anti social behaviors. 

For the parishioners, Staff and Sea Org who have left and spoken out, the first step is to Declare the person a Suppressive Person (excommunication).  This means that if you have any family and friends in Scientology, they will not be allowed any contact with you lest they too be declared.  Also, for ex members that have been up into the OT levels (the secret sci-fi past of all mankind and the exorcism of the multiple layers of entities who inhabit humans bodies with them, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars) Scientology, through it's lawyers, spend thousands of dollars a day on private investigators just to follow and spy upon these people in an effort to make sure that they are not speaking out.  I wish I was making this up, but I know more than one person who has this happen to them multiple times daily.  

I also know people who have never been in Scientology who are harassed by PI's on a daily basis because they have taken a public stance against Scientology as they have seen only a wrongness of Scientology's actions.  To those special people may I say a big thank you.

 So what about police agencies and the press?  By policy, Scientology attacks them the hardest.  These policies were written by Hubbard and still in practice today.  Here are some examples:

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 15 FEBRUARY 1966 - ATTACKS ON SCIENTOLOGY

Anyone proposing an investigation of or an "Inquiry" into Scientology must receive this reply and no other proposal:
"We welcome an investigation into (Mental Healing or whoever is attacking us) as we have begun one ourselves and find shocking evidence."
You can elaborate on the evidence we have found and lay it on thick attacking the attackers only. NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology. ONLY agree to an investigation of the attackers This was the BIG error made in Victoria. I Okayed an Inquiry into all Mental healing. I ordered evidence on psychiatric murders to be collected. Non-compliance with these orders brought on the loss of Melbourne and the law in Victoria against Scientology. This was the non-compliance that began it. The original order I gave was relayed as "we welcome an Inquiry into Scientology . . ." or it was changed to that in  Melbourne.
This is correct procedure:
(1) Spot who is attacking us.
(2) Start investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse using own professionals, not outside agencies.
(3) Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
(4) Start feeding lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.
Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way.
You can get "reasonable about it" and lose. Sure we break no laws. Sure we have nothing to hide. BUT 
attackers are simply an anti-Scientology propaganda agency so far as we are concerned They have proven 
they want no facts and will only lie no matter what they discover. So BANISH all ideas that any fair 
hearing is intended and start our attack with their first breath. Never wait Never talk about us - only 
them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. Don't use us.

I speak from 15 years of experience in this There has never yet been an attacker who was not reeking with 
crime. All we had to do was look for it and murder would come out. They fear our Meter. They fear freedom. They fear the way we are growing. Why? Because they have too much to hide. When you use that rationale you win. When you go dishwater and say "we honest chickens just plain love to have you in the coop, Brer Fox," we get clobbered. The right response is "We militant public defenders of  
the freedom of the people want that there Fox investigated for eating living chickens!" Shift the spotlight to them. No matter how. Do it!

You can elaborate on the formula. Let's say some other branch of government wants to investigate us via the press Just apply the formula:

"We welcome a public inquiry into (that branch activity) as we already have begun to investigate their (...)."
It will always work. It even would have worked on the U.S. F.D.A. when they first began five years before 
their raid on DC. They run! And that's all we want.

HOW TO STOP ATTACKS
The way we will eventually stop all attacks from there on out is by processing the society as follows:
(l) Locate a source of attack on us.
(2) Investigate it.
(3) Expose it with wide lurid publicity.

[..]

Remember, CHURCHES ARE LOOKED UPON AS REFORM GROUPS. Therefore we must act like a reform group. The way to seize the initiative is to use our own professionals to investigate intensively parts of the society that may attack us. Get an ammunition locker full. Be sure of our facts. And then expose via the press.

[..]

Don't worry about libel if our facts indicate rottenness. The last thing that target will do is sue as then we would have a chance to prove it in court, which they are terrified of our doing. Remember - the only reason we are in trouble with the press or government is that we are not searching out and exposing rotten spots in the society. We must practice on the whole group called society. 

L. RON HUBBARD

And what if the "evidence" they dig up is not lurid enough?  No problem.  They will make it up as evidenced by what they "the church" did to well known writer Paulette Cooper , author of "The Scandal of Scientology", who testifies about the covert operations Scientology used against her to try to ruin her life.

I try not to get too emotional on these posts, some of my friends have told me I am not emotional enough, but I have a need right now to say something.  At whatever time of day you read this, right now, there are people that I love and care about who are being subjected to this kind of terrorism and it MUST STOP NOW.  Please God, LET IT STOP.

Christmas Tears

I woke up crying a few times last night.  Those of you who know me best will know why.  While many of us will spend the holidays with good friends and loved ones, sharing a good dinner and good cheer, there is a large group of people who will be alone or in small numbers around the world for the sake of a lie.

These people have been beguiled into believing that their sacrifice, giving up on love, life, happiness and joy, will be to the benefit of all mankind in creating a "world without war, crime or insanity, where honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights", and don't we all want that?

You probably know by now that I am talking about the members of Scientology's Sea Organization and especially, those members that are in the RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force, Scientology's Prison Camp).  It is unnecessary at this point to go into the hard indoctrination (brainwashing) the people have gone through to bring them to this point of denial of all good things in life.  Be assured that most people, myself included, would bend to command intention (whatever happens to strike the fancy of David Miscavige at the moment).   You know what they say, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."  All of us who were ever in the "church" of Scientology believed, at one time, that we were doing the greatest good for the greatest number of beings, not only on Earth, but the entire Universe.

I am also talking about the hundreds of people, many who I know, that will be forbidden to be with their loved ones over the holidays because of Scientology's abominable policy of Disconnection.  When a Scientologist has fallen out of favor with "church" they are Declared a Suppressive Person (excommunicated)  and any and all Scientologists are forbidden to be with, or even speak to that person.   Friends, family, all you have ever been close to abandoning you because you dared to publicly leave the "church".  This is your permanent punishment for not following the mad rantings of the, now deceased, man who would be the master of the world. 

Here is my Christmas Wish.  That all of you PLEASE JOIN ME in my prayer  (or sending out positive thoughts into the Universe) that this is the last year that these good, well intention'ed people will have to go through the Christmas season without being around those that they love.  Thank you.

Church of Scientology vs. Church of Scientology

So there are a few points that bother me and I wonder if they bother you too.  What worries me most is that it appears that even Scientology "scriptures" tend to negate each other.  What the hell.  It may just be that I have misunderstood's.  Maybe someone can help me out on that.  Now it seems to me that a "church's" creed should reflect the actual position the organization takes.  Let is take a look at just a few points of the Creed Of the Church of Scientology along with a few points of policy the seem to make a lie of the creed.  So here goes:

We of the church believe:

"That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others;"

Ok. So if I have a problem with the "church", I am free to tell the world how I feel about it?  Uh, not quite:


"HCO PL 23 DECEMBER 1965
SUPPRESSIVE ACTS
SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS
THE FAIR GAME LAW
Such Suppressive Acts include public disavowal of Scientology or Scientologists in good standing with Scientology Organizations; public statements against Scientology or Scientologists but not to Committees of Evidence duly convened; proposing, advising or voting for legislation or ordinances, rules or laws directed toward the Suppression of Scientology; pronouncing Scientologists guilty of the practice of standard Scientology; testifying hostilely before state or public inquiries into Scientology to suppress it; reporting or threatening to report Scientology or Scientologists to civil authorities in an effort to suppress Scientology or Scientologists from practicing or receiving standard Scientology; (and) A truly Suppressive Person or Group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable under Scientology Ethics Codes."


Alright, here is another one:

"That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;"

So this mean everybody.  Right?  Well, it seems that David Miscavige doesn't consider his own people to be up there along with the rest of us humans:


In 1986 David Miscavige decreed that in order to maximize production, Sea Org members would no longer be allowed to have children. Though the order was sent out in ED Int's name, it was pushed by David Miscavige. Couples who thereafter got pregnant were coerced to get an abortion. If that failed, they were banished  to a "small and failing org" as punishment for being "out ethics."

And:

"And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly."

So does this mean that Hubbard was God and when he left he passed down godhood to David Miscavige?

And finally we have this:

"And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid man:
To destroy his own kind;"

Well that works, except it doesn't hold true for people below a certain tone level on his tone scale.  Let's hear what Hubbard had to say:


"The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered. It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough ... or simply quarantining them from the society."

And from Science of Survival:


""The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they bring into any order""

And:

"In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind..."

And:


"Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as possible and uniformly institutionalized ... Because of the covert nature of this insanity, it is completely beside the point whether such a person is pronounced insane by any agency."

And finally:

"No social order will survive which does not remove these people from its midst."

So help me out someone.  Did I go past a word I did not fully understand?  Or does it seem that they say one thing and mean something totally different.  I will let you decide.

Thanks for being here today.  Tune in soon for another exciting episode.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers - Another Pathway to Hell

Today I want to go into the wrongness of the actions of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers.  But first, I want to say, SHAME on you John Travolta!  Why?  Because you know better.  You know that Scientology and it's "assists" are a sham.  You know from personal experience that they don't work, and yet you are still a shill for this organization.  Make no mistake, The Volunteer Ministers program is not a certified disaster relief program, nor is it a charitable organization although many of the volunteers may be at disaster sites  for altruistic ideals.  You see the "church" not only deceives the public at large, but probably 99% of it's own parishioners as well.  

Firstly, Scientologists are not trained in actual approved disaster response techniques.  They are not trained in search and rescue.  They are not trained in approved first aid.  They are not trained in how to deal with their own emotional responses to the immeasurable pain and death that one would find at a full on disaster site.  I will quote two volunteer ministers from the Haiti earthquake disaster:

"I came here to give touch assists to people, but how do you give a touch assist to a burnt corpse?" sobbed Annette Lolly from Clearwater, Florida. "This place is a stinking hell-hole and I want to go home!" She collapsed in tears and had to be helped onto the plane.


Tim Pedoski of Glendale, California, said he was not prepared for the things he saw. "These people need way more than we've been trained to provide," he said. "There is death and horror here and we were trained for scratches and mild upsets. The best thing I can do is get out of the way of the professionals."


If these people are still in the "church", you can bet they had to go through a long ethics program before they were allowed to go back on Scientology services.  These people were not trained in how to even deal with themselves, let alone how to really help in a disaster.  They have only been trained to hand out tissues to crying people, give out water bottles and deliver Scientology assists, and "Way to Happiness" booklets.  The really sad thing is that if the "church" really wanted their volunteers to be effective, they would put all of their volunteer ministers through the C.E.R.T. program it is free in most U.S. cities and is the most intense and rewarding program I have ever been through.  It teaches you how to be confident and truly effective in a disaster situation.  You can find out more about that program here.

So what training do they get.  The main training they receive is three Scientology processes called assists.  The first is called the touch assist.  It is touching the victims on various parts of the body and saying, "feel my finger?" and getting a response from the victim.  Scientologists are told that this process is to get the person back in touch with their body and that it will alleviate pain and therefore bring the person back into present time, making that person more able to deal with whatever emotional trauma they are going through.  What this process really is designed to do (although most Scientologists don't know it) is give the victim a temporary relief from the pain by misdirecting their concentration to other parts of the body, thereby making them think they feel better.  Therein is the hook.  Then you tell them you are a minister with the "church" of Scientology  and that they feel better because of the things you learned there.

The next process is for victims that are suffering from emotional trauma and shock, to supposedly relieve that trauma and get the person back into present time and therefore more able to deal with the problem at hand, which is survival.  The process is actually another sleight of hand misdirection.  It does not actually remove emotional trauma.  It temporarily buries is making you "feel better" for a time.  The problem is, the trauma has not been effectively dealt with.  The "auditing" commands for this process are, "see that tree? thank you, see that rock? thank you.  see that light pole?  thank you."  and it goes on till you can answer some simple questions.

The last process is the "nerve assist".  It is done without verbal commands.  You run your fingers down and across various "ley lines" of the body in an effort to "release" and blockages in the nerve paths of the body.  It is based loosely upon ancient Chinese acupuncture meridians although Hubbard never gave due credit to any other practice besides Scientology and never gave credit for any of his processes to anyone but himself.  It also doesn't work as advertised.

As concerning the processes above, and trained medical or mental health technician will tell you that  trauma and shock  need to be treated as soon as possible medically because if it is not, it can have long term effects up to and including death.  I don't know about you, but if I am injured in an accident I would really rather be treated by someone who is trained to help me than Tom Cruise.  Just saying.

In New York in 2001, during one of the worst disasters in American history, Scientology Volunteer Ministers showed up in their yellow jackets with not only Scientology stenciled on them but N.M.H.A. as well which is the initials for the National Mental Health Association.  Sleazy?  Yes, but that is not the worst thing they did during this disaster.  They actually had Fox News run (as a public service announcement) on the bottom of the screen, "National Mental Health Assistance   800-FOR-TRUTH".  That phone number is a Scientology information line.  Hubbard has said that you should never trust anything that says mental health and then they use mental health for their advertisements.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I wanted to mention one other assist.  I have been Out of Scientology for more than 17 years so I do not know if it is still in the Volunteer Ministers Handbook.  It is called the "Back to Life" assist. The "auditing command" is yelled at the corpse. It is "Get back in your body and bring it back to life!"  There is absolutely no empirical evidence that it works.

Please be aware that Scientology is only interested in your money. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers are only another recruitment mechanism.  They will stoop to these tactics and worse to get it.  Please, if you are ever in a disaster or accident (which I pray never happens) ask for someone medically trained.  It may be worth your life.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope that I have helped you, in some way, to understand more about the insidious cult that is the "church" of Scientology.  Stay tuned for more.  If you have any questions or comments, please post them.  And please, if you know anyone who needs to see this, pass it on.  Again thank you.

Sneaky Scientology - Can We Ever be Friends?

Possibly the worst thing for a young Scientologist is to find that they have a family member, friend or significant other who is antagonistic toward Scientology.  They know that they will have to do one of two things with this person.  "Handle or Disconnect".  If they fail in this, they know that it means probable denial of further Scientology Services, a thought that strikes terror in the heart of any Scientologist.  The problem for the new Scientologist is that he or she has not been trained to "handle" those who know nothing about Scientology.  They have not been trained in the deceptive sales techniques that Scientology's Dissemination and Public Divisions have.  So what to do?

No problem.  The Ethics Officer will sell you an Audio presentation that you can give to your loved one (s).  You can tell them that this might clear up some of their misconceptions, that you may have accidentally caused by not knowing the right thing to say.  What they, and you as a new Scientologist don't know is that this audio is full of actual Dianetics and Scientology processes along with some Public Division tricks.  It is actually devised to drive an unsuspecting antagonist down into their own "case" (used to mean the entire accumulation of upsets, pain, failures, etc., residing in a persons reactive mind).  Let's listen to the first 5 minutes of this audio file and then we will discuss the insidious tactics being used.

Alright.  Let's look at this.  First, he uses Public Division (the people responsible for bringing new people in), tactics.  He finds your ruin (Scientology definition - Ruin, before you can save someone from ruin, you must find out what their own personal ruin is. This is basically – what is ruining them? What is messing them up? It must be a condition that is real to the individual as an unwanted condition, or one that can be made real to him.)  Then he tries to make you feel bad about it by insinuating that it may be, at least partially, your fault.  Then he uses actual Dianetics Auditing (Scientology counseling, taken from the Latin word audire which means “to hear or listen.”) showing you the way you felt about something and then asking you to find a time when you felt that way earlier.  This is a big part of Dianetics auditing.  The awful part of this is that he spins you down into your case, but doesn't help you alleviate that now nagging feeling you have down in your guts.  

Then at last, when you feel like crying, he offers you some hope.  He gives you, the loved one, the responsibility of finding out about Scientology for yourself.  But he does not want you to find out from another person or persons.  You are only to look at Scientology (Hubbard) written sources.  They hope, in this way, they will get you into a Scientology Org, and make you a Scientologist as well.  Failing in that, at least to make you a little less antagonistic to Scientology.

So if your loved one comes up and tries to give you a copy of "Can We Ever Be Friends?", you can say that you already know about that, and share the information that you have learned here.  Oh!  By the way.  If the above data isn't bad enough for you, I need to tell you this.  The audio presentation was produced by OSA (Office of Special Affairs - Scientology's Secret Police) and narrated by an OSA chaplain. Something to think about eh?

Thanks for spending some time with me today, and come back often for more.  As always, I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

Hubbard - Mankind's Greatest Friend

From the "church" of Scientology's Official website on Hubbard:

Philosopher, humanitarian, author, artist, educator and administrator—L. Ron Hubbard served us in a myriad of ways. In turn, he is quite literally viewed by millions worldwide as Mankind’s greatest friend: by those now literate, by those now drug-free, by those who used his work to reclaim their honor and self-respect, by those who enjoy new-found prosperity, morality and the unmatched joy of artistic creation.

So let's take a look at our great friend.  First, let us look at a major precept of human decency and morality.  Honesty.  Can we as humans be true friends with others without it.  I don't believe so.  So what does Hubbard say about lying?  Here are a few quotes for you.

"THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them. … He's got to tell you lies in order to continue control, because the second you start telling anybody close to the truth, you start releasing him and he gets tougher and tougher to control. So, you can't control somebody without telling them a bunch of lies."

And from the Philadelphia Doctorate Course we have:

"Now, you say, "We have to be absolutely truthful and sincere; and sincerity is the main thing, and truthfulness is the main thing, and don't lie to anybody, and never…" and so on, "and you'll get ahead." You — brother, you sure will. You'll get ahead right on that cycle of action right toward zero"

As a matter of fact, if you are employed in Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, part of you training is lying.  That's right.  Every OSA member is required to take the Intelligence Course which has a different type of Training Routines (indoctrination).  This one is called TR-L (Training Routine - Lying).

INTELLIGENCE SPECIALIST TRAINING ROUTINE - TR L

Purpose: To train the student to give a false statement with good TR-1 . To train the student to outflow  false data effectively.

Position: Same as TR-1

Commands: Part 1 "Tell me a lie". Command given by coach. Part 2 interview type 2 WC by coach.

Training Stress: In Part 1 coach gives command, student originates a falsehood. Coach flunks for out  TR 1 or TR 0. In Part 2 coach asks questions of the student on his background or a subject. Student gives untrue data of a plausible sort that that student backs up with further explanatory data upon the coach further questions. The coach flunks for out TR 0 and TR 1, and for student fumbling on question answers.

So much for honesty huh?

So how about the rest of the human condition?  In Scientology it is estimated that 20% of all of the human population on earth fall below 2.0 on the Scientology Tone Scale.

Click here to see the Tone Scale in full.

20%.  Not too many huh?  Let's look at the numbers.  There are currently 7 Billion people in the world.  So 20% would be about 1.4 Billion people that fall into the category that Scientologists would call degraded beings.  What would Hubbard have us do with these poor souls?  Have a look from Science of Survival:

"The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they bring into any order"

"In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind..."

Homelessness, joblessness, depression, mental illness, and so on would not be allowed.  They should be"disposed of quietly and without regret" This would include anyone who is in chronic pain (1.8), covertly hostile (1.1)(This includes all sexually aberrated  persons, defined in Scientology as L.G.B.T or even someone who masturbates regularly), people in fear, despair, terror, sympathy, the chronically ill, the dying.  Among others.  Oh yeah, don't forget those who are antagonistic toward Scientology. I want you to get this. 1.4 Billion people should be removed from society or euthanized.

And what about those of us who publicly oppose Scientology?  Hubbard doesn't pull any punches about that.  He says that we may "be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or utterly destroyed." 

Lastly, would "Mankind's Greatest Friend" be a racist?  I will give you a few examples:

"The South African native is probably the one impossible person to train in the entire world — he is probably impossible by any human standard." 

– L. Ron Hubbard, PAB No. 119, 1 September 1957, as published in Level 0 PABS (c.1968, The American St. Hill Organization).

"As long as a white foreman is there, they will prevent soil erosion; but the moment that a white foreman turns his back — boo! There goes the whole program."

"And you finally get up to the point of where he's [native] supposed to take care of something, a lesson which has never been taught to the native of South Africa."

–L. Ron Hubbard, 15th ACC (Power of Simplicity) lecture "Education: Point of Agreement", 30 Oct 1956.

 What Gall!  And finally, from a letter to his first wife Polly:

"You shouldn't be scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees. Get yourself a nigger; that's what they're born for."

Thanks for being here today.  Please come back soon for more.  You comments, as always are welcomed.
