New Years Eve Event
I had the pleasure to attend the Scientology New Years event in Los
Angeles, California last week and it was an amazing night as always! The
evening began with music. Ten drummers played a kind of African tribal
beat all at once and it was intense. Those Sea Org musicians are so
amazing! After the drumming came Chaka Kahn singing "I'm Going to
Another Land" and "I Believe I Can Fly." Both were really, really
beautiful performances, I must say. Then if that wasn't amazing enough,
Doug E. Fresh the rapper, came out of the audience and entertained us
with some really awesome rapping. “No more Psychiatry, no Psychiatry! No
more Psychiatry, no Psychiatry.” I got to get some of his albums.
The event was totally fantastic. It is so amazing seeing Scientology's
stats going up. I can't believe that how many people are now Auditing
and Training in Scientology, especially those individual who are doing
their OT level, now more then ever.
At the end of the night the Church released the DVD version of a video
called "An Introduction to Scientology." This was original video was an
interview conducted by a Journalist who interviewed Mr. Hubbard in 1966
for Rhodesia TV (now called Zimbabwe.) The DVD version has been
digitally re-mastered and restored under the highest quality, but then
again do we expect anything less from those film masters at Golden Era
Productions?
Over all this was a fantastic night. I can't believe that I was in the
same room as Mr. Miscavige. i also saw a few famous faces such as
Michael D. Roberts, Marisol Nichols, Michelle Stafford, Nancy Cartwright
and Jenna Elfman.
I highly recommend buying this DVD for yourself or for someone who wants
their questions about Scientology answered.
Happy hunting... "

Scientology DVD Sells 89,000 in Two Days!!!!!!!!
[BWAHAHAHA!!/chewing carpet/frothing at mouth]
"An Introduction to Scientology" DVD which was just released, already
has 89,000 copies in distribution!! This is the only interview I know of
L. Ron Hubbard in video, which has now been fully restored digitally and
now released on DVD. The quality is amazing. They took a video from the
60s and brought it into a whole new level.
The site, http://www.scientology.org/interview/ shows how many copies
are in distribution and it is already at 89,000 and growing fast.
[site down last checked]
L. Ron Hubbard here gives the answers to as to how Scientology came
about, why he got interested in the mind and spirit and what it all
means. This really is a great video for those who have wondered what
Scientology is. Who could answer it better than L. Ron Hubbard himself?
L. Ron Hubbard also had quite an amazing life, as an author, pilot,
sailor, explorer, photographer, etc. (http://www.lronhubbard.org)

Even *proving* that 'stats are down' is futile.
If a Scientologist 'sees' anything 'invalidating' or unpleasant
he just gets himself over to Ethics and retreads his eyes.

In a press release (in German, 2nd January 2007) about that video it
says that "this was the only filmed interview that L Ron Hubbard ever
gave to a journalist". As the scientology.org website seems to be
off-line at the moment I cannot check whether it says the same there,
too.
Whatever, the author of the German press release must have missed
(forgotten about?...) the "Granada Television" interview ...
http://www.xenutv.com/int/shrinkingworld.htm
"Granada Television" make the same claim "The only time Hubbard allowed
an outside crew to interview him." The difference being of course that
they are talking about an "outside crew"! (see below).
(link to the German press relase
http://www.presseanzeiger.de/meldungen/gesellschaft-kultur/231127.php )
I found some "nice" comments about the (in)famous interview by
Hitchman:
"[...] And you know where they get this? A major source is the LRH
interview film, the one by Tony Hitchman, which has to be one of the
worst and the corniest interviews ever made of anyone. The fact that
Hubbard approved it and that it is sold in Scientology bookstores and
given to libraries is difficult to believe. I strongly urge journalists
to watch it! Watch these "TRs" of L. Ron Hubbard as he gives these
little disarming chuckles and these _horrible_ answers. (And don't
think for a minute the interview was spontaneous. It wasn't. It was
completely canned, which makes it even worse.)
Author: Robert Vaughn Young
http://www.holysmoke.org/rvy/25.htm
" [...] The Church of Scientology recently issued a film interview
between Hubbard and the South African broadcaster Tony Hitchman but
this turned out to be a re-issued version of an original interview done
in black and white in the sixties at Saint Hill and prefaced by a new
introduction which Hitchman made for Golden Era studios at Gilman
Springs. [...]"
Author: Stewart Lamont - Religion Inc.
http://members.chello.nl/mgormez/books/lamont/battle.htm
And there is this (not very flattering) "Memorable Quote" on imdb:
"[responding to Hubbard's claim that Scientology increases IQ]
Tony Hitchman: But surely you've only got as much brain as you're born
with.
L. Ron Hubbard: Oh, no -- brain has nothing to do with it. Brain is a
sort of a -- well, I don't know, brain is brain. What it does, I'm
never quite sure. "
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0273687/quotes
and the interview is also used in Drill No. 264 which is part of
"Reverend" Heber Jentzsch' PR-training, prepared by GO/OSA:
"LRH/TONY HITCHMAN
264. DRILL While watching the above video note the following:
a) How does LRH position psychiatry and psychology in relation to
Scientology
b) How LRH applies key PR Series data to handle interviews with media."

Tony Hitchman was not just "a journalist", but a Scientologist, OTVIII

Embarassement No. 2:
Hitchman was one of the key figures in the Slatkin scandal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Slatkin and
http://slatkinfraud.com/docs/reed_declare_hitchman_2002_08_23.htm
excerpt from the Slatkinfraud-Website:
"2002-12-06 - "Caught in the Web: Where in the world is Tony Hitchman?
Not only has Tony Hitchman fled to South Africa to escape the Writ of
Attachment that Slatkin bankruptcy trustee Todd Neilson successfully
filed against him in October, but it appears that his Scientology
homepage has gone missing as well.
Although Tony's name appears on this list of Scientologists Online,
clicking on the link takes one to a curiously empty homepage, naked but
for an error message above the name of his now sadly unused vanity
subdomain.
How sad for the webmaster responsible for the Online Scientologist
index to have lost track of Tony Hitchman, reportedly one of a very
select group of "new OT8s" - the highest rank of spiritual processing
delivered by the Church.
Thanks to the wonders of archive.org, however, you can still read
Tony's original "About Myself" page, where he explains that he is a
"highly trained Scientology auditor" who spends "much of [his] time
introducing others to Scientology, and says that he considers "Ron" to
be "mankind's best friend."
Enjoy it before the page mysteriously vanishes from there, too.
Luckily, not all trace of Hitchman on the Scientology web has been
lost."
http://www.slatkinfraud.com/archive_full.php
Hitchman and wife Peggy are both still listed as Volunteer Ministers in
Santa Barbara. At least, for the moment.
We will watch with interest to see which other Scientologists might
pull a disappearing act over the next few weeks. Don't worry, Jack
Dirmann - we've got our eye on you."

That's so obviously a Shockwave prog that keeps phoning home to get a
timer-tick count.
Points for having a central number and keeping all the browsers in sync, but
minus loads for the one by one count-up every few seconds. (Just hit
100,256) Since when do orders come in one by one and at an exact constant

I like that guys blog. He is stoked on his "religion". I think that's
cool. Good for him.
This is also a very interesting scieno blog. Most scieno blogs are
only there for SEO purposes. With this guy's blog he is truly
interested in telling the world how great the "religion" he belongs to
is. He is not linking his words like "scientology" to scientology.org
or things of that nature.
He's an innocent soul deep within a dangerous and corrupt cult.

Here's the best part. In the New DVD version, Tony Hitchman has
been "disappeared".

Did you develop the impression that the blog is written by an "innocent
soul" because key words aren't hyperlinked? I don't get any sense of a
genuine, unguarded individual at work here. If he (or she?) were a
"real" person, he would most likely use more than just two initials to
identify himself. (Most bloggers use at least a first name or an
interesting screen name--something to convey a sense of who they are.)
And if he truly were innocent, I think he'd allow comments on his blog,
and his phrasing would feel more subjective and personal. I don't mean
that what I'm saying is proof of anything, just that I get less of an
"innocent" vibe from it.

hmmmm.....
View his profile. He's a real person.
Also, I read a lot of his blog. Same person writing it, in my opinion.
And, the keywords not being hyper linked is a dead give away since ALL
other phony scieno blogs do this.
As for the anonymous style posting with the initials and not allowing
comments.... very common on Myspace scieno sites.
I think that site is the real deal and I say good for him on being
excited about his "religion"

You may be right. It's not a big deal to me, anyway. I just didn't get
a real "personal" feeling from it (even the profile).
I'm curious now, though. You said anonymous-style posting and not
allowing comments is common on Myspace scieno sites, but I'm not sure
what you mean by Myspace scieno sites. Do you mean pages for
individuals, or perhaps for groups? I ask because I browse Myspace alot
(it's a good place for Scientologist-watching!). I've noticed a few
things about Scientologists on Myspace, but I hadn't really noticed
that they don't allow comments. One thing I've noticed, though, is a
number of them have been changing over to private, friend-only status.
I've wondered if they were doing that because people hassled them about
Scientology, or if it's just part of a general trend (not particular to
Scientologists).

Yeah, the private profiles is what I meant. Also, the groups they have
setup are impossible to get into so you can post. I found they won't
accept just anybody. The reason is soley because they are
Scientologist. They don't want to be caught talking to a critic.
I've actually recently deleted all my critical postings of Scientology
off my myspace page for this reason. I am currently in communication
with a few clam myspacers and trying to join a couple groups. They
won't talk to you if you have "Hail Xenu" comments on your page or
pictures of some anti- Tom Cruise picture.
I don't think they get hassled, I believe that most of them are just
close minded. It's too bad.

I posted it on January 5, they deleted it on January 10 - it took them
quite a while to have my comment removed ..... (I don't think that they
could remove my comment themselves, they had to inform Netscape that my
comment was either abusive or spam). I wonder what they told Netscape,
what exactly did they consider a "violation"? that I pointed out a lie?
I'll post (maybe only part of) it again. Let's see what happens.
at least, Netscape did not remove my "sink that story!"-vote

> the only filmed interview ever recorded of L. Ron Hubbard ?!
To my knowledge, this interview (by Tony Hitchman, a Scientologist,
OTVIII, and key figure in the Slatkin Scandal) is not "the only filmed
interview ever recorded of L. Ron Hubbard".
What about the interview by "Granada Television" in 1968 ?
http://www.xenutv.com/int/shrinkingworld.htm
A comment by Robert Vaughn Young (former personal PR officer of LRH,
was 21 years in Scientology before he left)
"[] LRH interview film, the one by Tony Hitchman, [] has to be one of
the worst and the corniest interviews ever made of anyone. [] I
strongly urge journalists to watch it! [] And don't think for a minute
the interview was spontaneous. It wasn't. It was completely canned,
