I get asked this question quite a bit: “What is Scientology?” For many years I would reply with the response I learned in the Scientology catechism over 30 years ago, when I became a minister of the Church of Scientology of California. (And yes, we do have a catechism). I would say, “Scientology is an […]

Good luck to this teacher… she’s gonna need it!
A teacher in Medford, Oregon (about three hours from where we live) has a concealed weapons permit. But her school board, in its infinite wisdom, has warned her that she is not allowed to carry her weapon on school grounds. Apparently they didn’t get word of what happened at Vtech, Columbine, or up in Springfield, […]
What Scientologists believe
No, it’s not some kooky mind-control cult. Any one of the tens of thousands of practicing Scientologists in the United States will give you his or her own viewpoint about it. If they were all mind controlled, wouldn’t they give you the same story? It’s always different, from one person to another, how they got […]
Mark Joyner’s “The Irresistible OFFER”
I am reading Mark Joyner’s “The Irresistible OFFER – How to Sell your Product or Service in 3 Seconds or Less!” It makes a lot of sense and it ties in neatly with all the branding and positioning info I’ve learned from Al Ries and Jack Trout over the years. It also ties in nicely […]
Scientology books revised & re-released
A revolutionary action has occurred in Scientology within the last month. Those responsible for maintaining the integrity of the materials of Scientology (that’s the Religious Technology Center, to whom L. Ron Hubbard left the rights to all the materials he developed over his long and prodigious life) recently completed a major project where they went […]
Psychiatrist Airs his Doubts
Here are some quotes from Dr. Michael Benjamin, a psychiatrist who’s been practicing for 38 years: “As a Psychiatrist, I still do not know what our profession is trying to do. It seems we have a series of solutions and now we are trying to find the problems that they can solve….” “There is no […]
Mania – an article in the Whistle Blower
World Net Daily has just published an excellent article entitled MANIA The shocking link between psychiatric drugs, suicide, violence and mass murder. Of course, this is nothing new to CCHR, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. In it they detail some of the many instances of psychiatric drugs causing homicidal ideation, particularly mentioning Effexor and […]
3 Trillion Barrels of Oil
This is an interesting article about oil reserves [link died] and fossil fuel dependency. The gist of it is that if we can get out of our own way, we have plenty of oil to carry us through to a post-petrol economy. But we can’t back away from nuclear power plants if we plan to […]
Psychiatric abuse – follow the money back to the drug companies
Even the New York Times gets it right occasionally. Some enterprising reporter there has not yet received their indoctrination that psychiatrists can do no wrong. Here’s an article about Drug company money paid to psychiatrists. The gist is that psychiatrists who take the most money from drug companies making antipsychotic drugs are the ones that […]
LRH House on Camelback
The house where L. Ron Hubbard lived in Phoenix, Arizona in 1952 has been restored to the way it looked then, including many of the original decorations, furniture, carpets, drapes and so on. It is (from what I’ve heard from people who visited it) like stepping into a time machine to the early 1950s. 1952 […]
