But District Judge Neal Beekman, asked by the state Department of
Health to close Narconon until the center obtained state certification
and licensing, earlier this month ruled officials should decide on
certification at the board's October meeting.

The judge allowed Narconon, located on the grounds of the old Chilocco
Indian School, to continue operating, but prohibited the facility from
accepting new patients until it obtained necessary state certification
and licensing.

NEWKIRK Inspectors with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health paid a
visit Tuesday to a substance abuse center that has been operating near
Newkirk for several months without state approval.

The inspection is an effort by the state agency to comply with a court
order to determine whether the Narconon Chilocco New Life Center should
remain open.

Inspectors should have reports of their findings prepared about two
weeks before the State Mental Health Board is scheduled to meet Oct. 18
in Norman, said Rosemary Brown, a spokeswoman for the mental health
department.

PORTLAND, ORE. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) _ A man carried a pistol and a can
of gasoline into a downtown Church of Scientology on Wednesday,
starting a fire and shooting four church members, including a pregnant
woman.

Jairus Godeka, 38, surrendered after walking out of the church's
Portland Celebrity Centre with a female hostage who was heard shouting:
"Don't do anything. He's got a gun to my head." Police talked the man
into releasing the hostage unharmed and dropping his handgun.

The pregnant woman was hospitalized in critical condition with a
gunshot wound in her shoulder. The center's executive director was in
fair condition with a wound to his right side and another man was in
serious condition with a wound to his chest. The fourth victim was
treated for a wound to his buttocks and later released.

Germany: Scientologists Complain of State-Sanctioned Discrimination
September 26, 2007, Deutsche Welle
https://www.dw.com/en/germany-scientologists-complain-of-state-sanctioned-discrimination/a-2798580

Scientology has always been controversial, but in Germany, it's viewed
with more suspicion than in many other places. According to
Scientologists, the result has been discrimination against its church
and members.

In Germany, there are thought to be some 6,000 adherents of the Church
of Scientology, which was created in the 1950s by American
science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

The German government considers the group to be a money-making
enterprise that preys on vulnerable people, and ten years ago even
discussed designating the group as unconstitutional.

25 Confrontations

As the third week of the trial drew to a close the main plaintiff,
Aude-Claire Malton, fended off a final challenge from the defence
lawyers.

As normally happens towards the end of a trial in France, the judge
invited some of the key players, plaintiffs and defendants, to return
to the stand to testify again in the light of what the court had
learned so far.

In the hours that followed, the main plaintiff Aude-Claire Malton and
the defendant Jean-Fran?ois Valli offered radically different accounts
of how he had come to sell her her courses.

Reverse Scientology: Hypnotism
September 26, 2010, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/reverse-scientology-hypnotism/

A lot of people have noted that Miscavige's events and speeches are
taking on more of an hypnotic sounding tone, and yet his sheep don't
seem to notice. There are also many comments here wondering aloud how
on earth kool aid drinkers can keep compulsively drinking kool aid in
the face of the abuses escalating within the church. I believe the
following may shed a bit of light on those concerns.

David Miscavige developed a technique that he called "rolling thunder"
for his event presentations. Mike Rinder and others who worked on
events over time can describe this far more competently than me since I
was not so intimately involved in the event evolutions as they were.
But I know this much, Rolling thunder consisted of a series of "facts"
and "stats" of the church - all exaggerated, and some made up out of
whole cloth - being forcefully communicated to the audience and
accented with overwhelming and building music, lights and graphics
being flashed in the recipients' faces - until the climax of an
"applause line" is reached. "Rolling thunder" is considered achieved
if, and only if, the entire crowd is swept to their feet in adoring,
accepting, and rapturous AGREEMENT with the "applause line" of the
speaker. Miscavige was obsessed with ensuring his speeches in
particular had several "rolling thunder" moments. Over the years, he
weeded out the involvement of other speakers in the events until over
the past few years there has only been one, David Miscavige. When you
add to the equation that virtually all church of Scientology staff have
been forced, coerced and conditioned into immediately and savagely
punishing the slightest indication of "doubt" about the infallibility
of David Miscavige that manifests itself with any church staff or
public, you've got a perfect recipe for disaster. That is, mind
controlling hypnotism on a mass scale.

While reading a section of the Phoenix lecture - Axioms, Part III, on
the subject of how Scientology can be reversed to effectuate hypnotism
- all of the above came back to me. I believe the following passage
sheds light on what Scientology public have been subjected to,
increasingly, for the past twenty years in very regular, predictable
intervals.

Ex-Scientologists Say San Francisco Apostate's Graphs Are Legit
September 26, 2011, Lauren Smiley, SF Weekly
https://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2011/09/ex-scientologists_say_san_fran.php

In a blog posted by our sister paper, the Village Voice, two former
high-ranking Scientologists say the statistics that a self-professed
San Francisco Church of Scientology member claimed to have smuggled out
of the church's trash bin appear to be real.

The church's president, Jeff Quiros, told us they were fake. But Voice
Editor-In-Chief Tony Ortega -- who's been chronicling the "Top 25
People Crippling Scientology" on the paper's blog -- interviewed
Jefferson Hawkins, who formerly ran Scientology's marketing campaigns
and oversaw such stats from Scientology churches across the country.

Hawkins said "the graphs are credible -- all of the names of statistics
and the acronyms used are correct ... it would take a very
knowledgeable insider many hours to even attempt such a fabrication ...
What they show is a relatively small organization that is struggling to
get by, with few staff, few public and little income."

Chanology SF, the very active Anonymous chapter in that city, was
celebrating the apparent fact that a Scientology worker at the SF org
who called him or herself "ethicstrouble" had been convinced by their
protests to make contact with them and to begin feeding information
about what was happening at the church organization. Jeff Quiros, the
president of the SF church, told Smiley that the e-mails from
"ethicstrouble" were a hoax.

On August 5, we started a countdown that will give credit -- or blame
-- to the people who have contributed most to the sad current state of
Scientology. From its greatest expansion in the 1980s, the church is a
shell of what it once was and is mired in countless controversies
around the world. Some of that was self-inflicted, and some of it has
come from outside. Join us now as we continue on our investigation of
those people most responsible...

The Church of Scientology has broken years of silence over its future
plans for a listed mansion in Moseley ? with a pledge to spend ?6
million on a major restoration.

The American church, whose followers include Tom Cruise and John
Travolta, says it proposes a 'complete and sensitive' restoration of
the former Pitmaston building in Moor Green Lane to 'bring the property
back to its former glory'

Scientology's plan for Canada
September 26, 2012, Nicholas K?hler, Macleans

EVERY FEW MONTHS or so, Adam Holland, an intense but baby-faced
24-year-old, dials his father's number and leaves a message. His
father, Paul Holland, who lives in the Toronto suburb of Richmond Hill
and works as an electrical engineer, never picks up or returns his
calls, Holland says. "But as a son I think it's my responsibility to
let him know that I'm there for him, and that I'm willing to look past
everything." By Holland's account he last saw his father more than two
years ago, when the Church of Scientology declared him a "suppressive
person," prompting his father, a longtime Scientologist, to
"disconnect" from and shun him. "I definitely know he still loves me,"
Holland says. "We aren't parting because of a serious disagreement.
We've been separated by a large corporation that's used its authority
to disrupt a family."

Did Scientology Pay $3 Million To Foil an "Independent Scientology Org" in
Clearwater?

https://tonyortega.org/2013/09/26/did-scientology-pay-3-million-to-foil-an-independent-scientology-org-in-clearwater/

The Arnold Building Last night, Tampa Bay Times reporter Charlie Frago
published another fascinating scoop: The Church of Scientology paid a
premium - more than $3 million - for a parcel of land in a key downtown
Clearwater, Florida location which included an aging five-story office
building.

Frago said the church wasn't saying why it paid so much money for a
collection of properties that the county had assessed at about $610,000.
Rumors, he said, had the church buying the land for new housing for
workers, or perhaps for a retirement home for church employees.

A retirement home. Yeah, that's a good one.

She is like the Energizer bunny. Turn on the switch, point her and off

batteries out of her back.

The building is DONE Laurie? A few weeks ago your letters said for
people to arrive in mid-September so as not to miss the long awaited
"grand opening." But there she still sits, paper over the windows,
looking exactly like it did a year ago. It awaits the blessing from
Dear Leader to allow the unclean to enter his palace and mess up his
oiliness table. But it seems he cannot make up his mind. So, take the
opportunity of another delay to suck in some more bucks....

It seems there is nothing these people will not do to get money. I
wonder if someone told Laurie Webster they would give her a million
dollars if she walked naked down Ft. Harrison Ave whether she would do
it? I think she would - after all, it would be the greatest good for
the greatest dynamic and the others don't matter.

According to an AJC report, the treatment facility will avoid potential
criminal charges but the investigation against those running the
business continues.

The charges stem from allegations that Narconon billed insurance
companies for services it did not provide and operating as a
residential unit when it was licensed as an outpatient clinic.

Narconon to close doors; problems remain

Following up on an investigation by WSB's Pete Combs, a
Scientology-based drug rehab facility in Norcross agrees to shut its
doors under pressure from the Gwinnett County district attorney who is
investigating claims of massive insurance fraud. But that's not the end
of the story.

Under the agreement reached between Narconon and District Attorney
Danny Porter, Narconon closes its doors. In return, Porter promises not
to prosecute the Scientology-related rehab facility based in Norcross.

Georgia, his investigation is ongoing as his office pores over the
thousands of documents taken in the raid, and he may end up charging
individuals with wrongdoing. But Mary Morton told Pete how unhappy she

Doug Ford proposes new subway station at 'Done Mills' in error-riddled
Toronto transit plan
September 26, 2014, Aileen Donnelly, National Post
https://nationalpost.com/news/toronto/doug-ford-corrects-spelling-errors-on-toronto-subway-map-after-releasing-same-transit-plan-as-mayor

Mayoral candidate Doug Ford has revealed his transit plan for Toronto,
and it's exactly the same as the one his brother released earlier this
month, except for the addition of a few spelling mistakes.

The transit map on Doug Ford's website misspelled three station names.
There is an extra "g" in Eglinton and Eglinton West and Don Mills is
listed as "Done Mills." The mayoral candidate was ridiculed over the
errors by Toronto voters on social media Friday morning.

"If only there were more libraries in Etobicoke to help brush up on the
English skills," Nick Iozzo wrote on Twitter.

Maureen Bolstad My Experience in Scientology's Purification Rundown
September 26, 2014, SurvivingScientology, YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkjySUxoH9k

FormerSea Org member Maureen Bolstad describes her experienced the
Church of Scientology's controversial Purification Rundown. A Medical
Doctor signs off that the person can do the Purif, but then, Sea Org
members or staff supervise it. .Purification Rundown requires a person
to be in a dry sauna five hours per day. A person must also take
increasingly high daily doses of niacin until they reach a 5,000mg
maximum.

I have heard from some credible sources that there is an insistence on
continuing the Purif at 5000 Niacin for some time before a person can
attest they are done. This is a Miscavige Order. Often OT VIIIs who

Scientology prepares for its big party in England, Maureen Bolstad on the
Purification Rundown

Scientology's big fall shindig, the October gala for the International
Association of Scientologists, is making its triumphant return to
England, and we have a couple of fun images for you to help you get
excited for the big party.

Last year, you'll remember that Scientology leader David Miscavige had
a wild hair and shipped the big IAS tent over to Florida so the gala
could take place in Clearwater. But now it's back in England, and that
just feels right.

As usual, the theme is Arthurian, and we really dig this new flier...

Scientology Thought Control

The following is a chapter passage that immediately follows another one
that was posted earlier, Deconstructing Scientology. A quick reminder
perusal of the first passage will make reading the following easier.

Part II:

Such a psychotherapy has been shown to have the power to convert
conscientious, caring, emotionally disturbed, and relatively
intelligent people into cheery, focused followers who yet accept
implicitly, and act according to, subconscious commands on the order of:

The Sad Tale Of Ideal Orgs
September 26, 2014, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-sad-tale-of-ideal-orgs/

Things are looking grim in the scientology bubble.

You likely saw the story about the "ideal org" in Boston that was
covered in the Boston Globe and they didn't cover the full story by any
means. The level of incompetence on display there is amazing. They
could not keep their "statement" building because it was too small
though it's never been maxed out - so were ordered to sell it. They had
a buyer willing to pay $20 million but they couldn't get approval to
sell. When they finally got the go ahead, the market had crashed and
they got $12 million but had committed to a larger wreck which used up
all their funds and now they have a ghost horror house they cannot
afford to renovate and have lost their beautiful building and are being
sued for breaking other lease contracts.

Similar stories are repeated around the world with insane decisions
made to purchase buildings and then NOT renovate or move into them,
they sit idle, become eyesores and money pits. Just off the top of my
head I know this scenario has happened in Chicago, Philly, Detroit,
Battle Creek, Kansas City, Vancouver, Montreal, Albuquerque, Atlanta,
Birmingham, Manchester, Sunderland, Auckland, Plymouth, Capetown,
Durban, Bulawayo, Harare and there are probably others that have
slipped my mind.

'Darth Xander' files motion challenging Scientology's anti-protesting
injunction
September 26, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
https://tonyortega.org/2015/09/26/darth-xander-files-motion-challenging-scientologys-anti-protesting-injunction/

On Friday, Illinois attorney Alex Hageli, better known by his nom de
guerre "Darth Xander," filed a motion with the Pinellas County Circuit
Court in Florida asking to dissolve the permanent injunction that the
Church of Scientology managed to get against the Lisa McPherson Trust
back in 2001.

Hageli lives in Chicago, but he frequently travels to Clearwater,
Florida to picket and videotape the key Scientology facilities of its
"spiritual mecca," and repeatedly he's run into trouble because of the
injunction, which was intended to regulate a completely different set
of people from a very different time.

"I'm tired of having to talk about the injunction with Clearwater
police, and I figured it would save me a lot of time in the long run if
I just asked a judge to dissolve it," Hageli tells us.

Cradle Robbing

For some reason, scientology is proud of the fact they recruit children
for staff.

It seems like that is virtually all they can get these days. I suspect
these are children of scientologists - Brennecke is definitely a
familiar name to me. There was a Jan Brennecke at Int.

Pasadena doesn't really have the ability to reach out to Venezuela and
the former Soviet bloc countries for staff (though somehow Cincinnati
has managed to do so). These are the two most fertile areas for Sea Org
recruits for Flag and LA. Apparently there are two general categories
of people that join staff or the SO today:

London 'autism healer' screams abuse and threatens patient

A man claiming to be able to treat autism has been recorded on camera
screaming and threatening violence against an undercover reporter who
he believed was a vulnerable patient.

A BBC London investigation secretly recorded the supposed healer
treating the journalist, who pretended to be a young man with the
condition.

The footage, to be screened tonight, shows a London-based
physiotherapist for a Hungarian firm asking the "patient" to choose
between being slapped or punched. Jozsef Kanta, who is linked to
company Stabil Pont Technologia, says: "I'll go and slap you, always
slap you, everybody. You want I slap you?

Louis Theroux's My Scientology Movie unlikely to get Ireland release due to
blasphemy laws
September 26, 2016, Jess Denham, The Independent
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/louis-theroux-my-scientology-movie-release-date-tom-cruise-ireland-blasphemy-laws-controversies-a7330271.html

Louis Theroux fans hoping to watch My Scientology Movie in Ireland look
set for disappointment as the country's blasphemy laws threaten to keep
it from cinemas.

The controversial film is directed by John Dower and sees Theroux
"investigate and attempt to get under the skin of the holy grail of
stories: America's homegrown religion created by a science fiction
writer and structured like a corporation? with Tom Cruise".

It is being distributed in the UK by Altitude, the company behind
Oscar-winning Amy Winehouse documentary Amy, but as of yet there is no
Irish distributor and Graham Spurling, managing director of Irish
independent cinema chain Spurling Group Cinemas, has shared his doubts
that it will be getting one.

Irish audiences hoping to see Louis Theroux's 'My Scientology Movie'
could be set for disappointment, according to the owner of an Irish
cinema group.

Graham Spurling, who owns independent cinema chain Spurling Group
Cinemas has said on his Twitter that the movie will not get an Irish
release, suggesting that this is due to Irish blasphemy laws.

Mr Spurling was hoping to run a live Q&A event in October, but
Ireland's 2009 Defamation Act forbids "publication or utterance of
blasphemous matter" against any religion, with a fine of ?25,000 for
those who breach it.

He said: "[I] regret that after much trying [that Louis Theroux's My
Scientology Movie] will not get an Irish release. Our blasphemy law to
blame?"

SCIENTOLOGY'S TOP 20 CELEBRITIES - in order of those most likely to defect

https://tonyortega.org/2016/09/26/scientologys-20-biggest-celebrities-in-order-of-those-most-like-to-defect/

Now that Jason Lee has confirmed what we've suspected for a long time -
that he's out of Scientology - we're naturally getting questions from
readers wondering who among the church's glittering celebrities will be
next to jump ship.

We've been documenting a pretty amazing cavalcade of celebrity
defectors over the last eight years. In 2008, we wrote the first press
interview with actor Jason Beghe, who had made a splash with a video
denouncing Scientology after being a gung-ho member for 12 years.
Director Paul Haggis soon followed, announcing his decision to leave on
Marty Rathbun's blog. Both Beghe and Haggis went on to become central
figures in Alex Gibney's 2015 documentary, Going Clear.

In 2013, we broke the news that Leah Remini had left Scientology. She
went on to write a book about her defection, and is now working on a
series about Scientology for the A&E network that may start airing as
soon as January.

His crime? He ended up falling in love with a fellow trainee on the ship.

The woman in question was working on the ship as punishment, and the
authorities of the church forbade them from engaging during this period.

When it was discovered they subsequently had premarital sex regardless,
Navarro was told he would be sent to the Rehabilitation Project Force
(RPF), a correctional centre in Australia.

Only after he arrived here did he learn the woman had been pregnant
with their child and, he claims, forced to have an abortion on the
Freewinds.

The next new episode of Aftermath is on 10 October. This week and next

in those shows - I recommend watching them again even if you have
watched them before as many people find more revealing information in
each episode that was missed in the first viewing.

Relevant to Aftermath, and especially to scientology's response to
every show a couple of observations/thoughts.

with just a pair of big-name contributors to bring in viewers and
notoriety: American Laura Loomer and Brit Tommy Robinson.

Now Loomer, best known for storming the stage of Julius Caesar in
Central Park, has also quit The Rebel, telling CANADALAND that they
parted ways last Wednesday, even though neither party made any public
announcement until she tweeted about it on Sunday:

Leah Remini's A&E show Scientology and the Aftermath is taking a
well-deserved post-Emmys two-week breather after pushing hard to get
the first six episodes on the air. It will resume with the next new
episode on October 10.

We have some inside knowledge of what goes into putting together one of
these shows, and we can tell you it's an exhausting amount of hard work.
Not only is there a huge amount of footage that has to be put together
as tightly as possible, but the Church of Scientology is doing
everything it can to derail the series, harassing and trying to
intimidate people that have agreed to be on the show.

Gary "Jackson" Morehead told us that decisions about some of his
interview footage were still being made on the Sunday before his
episode aired - that's just 48 hours to go.

Ethics is relative? This is a story from the 2008 era. I was staff in

We had "Staff member guidelines" and the first point was about
computers. The basic idea was that it was expressly forbidden to have
any computer online on the territory of the base, at work or home, in
Starbucks or at the beach.

It was even more forbidden to go onto Facebook, or any other social

his experience in Scientology and beyond.

Says Jeffrey: "Nathan Rich was born into Scientology. He endured hell
as a teenager at Scientology's infamous Mace-Kingsley Ranch, operated
by the abusive Wally Hanks, a man whom Scientology protected after he
admitted to sexually molesting two teenage girls. Nathan's life
spiraled out of control and soon he was living on the streets as a drug
addict. Nathan tells a riveting tale of how he survived seven years of
homelessness and self-medicating with street drugs and turned his life
around. Nathan's book Scythe Tleppo is now available on Amazon."

A Guide To Faith Goldy And How (Not) To Report On Her
September 26, 2018, Alheli Picazo, Canadaland
https://www.canadalandshow.com/guide-to-reporting-on-faith-goldy/

On January 25, 2018, Roosh V - real name Daryush Valizadeh, a rank
misogynist and denizen of the so-called "manosphere" - hosted a
live-streamed discussion of "tradthots" in the far right. A "tradthot"
is a female internet personality who preaches "traditional" values and
gender roles while advocating a #tradright lifestyle, but who fails to
adhere to those standards herself, as the underlying motivation isn't
ideology, but rather, the allure of financial and reputational gain.

Gonzo journalist and conspiracy monger Laura Loomer, white nationalist
podcaster Nicholas J. Fuentes, and far-right extremist Peter "Sweden"
Imanuelsen were among the panel's "special guests." So, too, was Faith
Goldy - the conservative commentator turned fringe-right propagandist
turned neo-Nazi fellow traveller turned (for the moment) marginal
candidate in Toronto's mayoral election.

Pressed by Roosh on precisely where women in the far right belong, if
she doesn't think they should be in a "leadership-type role" (such as
running for political office), Goldy suggested that rather than waste
time on women - who, by #tradlife standards, should be at home
dedicating themselves to the "4 Cs" of cooking, cleaning, children, and
church - this was a time to "focus on male DNA? this is a time for
strong men."

After three days, Doug Ford distances himself from extremist Faith Goldy

TORONTO - Ontario Premier Doug Ford is distancing himself from a
Toronto woman known for her extreme views after repeated Opposition
questions about a photograph he took with her.

Ford says on Twitter that he condemns hate speech, anti-Semitism and
racism in all forms, be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else.

Doug Ford finally names white nationalist Faith Goldy in denouncing hate
speech
September 26, 2018, Kristin Rushowy, Toronto Star

After three days of furor over a photo of Doug Ford posing with a white
nationalist, the premier took to social media Wednesday to denounce
hate speech - saying he won't tolerate it from anyone, including Faith
Goldy. "I have been clear. I condemn hate speech, anti-Semitism and
racism in all forms - be it from Faith Goldy or anyone else," the
premier tweeted at midday regarding the controversial Toronto mayoral
candidate, who had posted the picture taken at the Ford Fest barbecue
on the weekend.

Robocalls for Goldy's Toronto mayoralty bid surfaced earlier in the
day, in which the candidate says she "stands with Doug Ford" -
prompting the New Democrats to again demand that the premier distance
himself from her. In the recorded call to Toronto households, Goldy
says she "wants to crack down on crime and make our streets safe again.
I'm a common sense conservative who will put the taxpayer first. "I'm
the only candidate who stands with Doug Ford shrinking the size of city
council. And I'm against bringing in more illegal migrants to our
communities."

On Monday and Tuesday, Ford was asked to directly denounce Goldy after
the photo of the two appeared on social media. The premier had
pointedly refused, instead saying he denounces hate and has "zero
tolerance" for hate speech.

Doug Ford must denounce Faith Goldy and her ideas
September 26, 2018, Bernie M. Farber, Toronto Star
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2018/09/26/doug-ford-must-denounce-faith-goldy-and-her-ideas.html

It was Doug Ford's "Trump moment." We all remember the day after the
white supremacist rally in Charlottesville and the murder of
anti-racist protester Heather Heyer allegedly by a neo-Nazi. Trump
insisted that there were "good people" on both sides. Doug Ford may
have done Trump one better. On Saturday, Faith Goldy, in the race for
Toronto mayor, well-known for embracing and supporting white
supremacist views, turned up at the Ford Fest BBQ in Vaughan. Following
a photo-op with the premier, a scandal ensued as Ford refused to
renounce Goldy, her white nationalist views and support to neo-Nazis
when asked to do so in the legislature by the NDP.

Goldy is well-known to Ford. She was a colleague of the premier's when
they both appeared on SUN News panels. He was also interviewed by Goldy
before she was fired from the ultra-right Rebel Media for her support
of neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. Goldy has a short but sordid history
with white nationalist extremism. She didn't start out that way.
Articulate and engaging, Goldy was a devout Christian and a graduate of
Trinity College at the University of Toronto. At Trinity, she received
a Gordon Cressy Student Leadership Award recognizing outstanding
extra-curricular contributions to the school. From there Goldy took a
sharp turn to the right. In 2015, Goldy was a co-host of a live public
affairs program for Zoomer Media. I was asked to participate in a
discussion on the Syrian refugee crisis. At first congenial and warm,
Goldy turned right before my eyes into an anti-immigrant loudmouth
hardly disguising her animus, permitting raucous racist comments from
the partisan crowd.

Shortly thereafter, Goldy began her stint with Rebel Media. It seems
that the influence of commentators there who engaged in anti-Semitic,
racist and Islamophobic rhetoric helped turn her mind. And it was from
her perch at Rebel Media that Goldy went fully into the nightmare world
of white supremacy. Warren Kinsella, author of the Web of Hate and a
recognized expert on Canadian hate groups had this to say about Goldy's
experience in Charlottesville: "The breaking point came in
Charlottesville, which she was sent to cover for Ezra's online lunatic
asylum, where she'd be seen doing a stand-up not far from the woman who
was mowed down by a white supremacist. That terrible week, Faith
appeared on the pro-Nazi Daily Stormer, opining that there was a need
for a rise in "white racial consciousness." She also proclaimed that
National Socialist types have "robust" and "well-thought-out" ideas on
"the Jewish question." Levant, a Jew and no anti-Semite himself,
finally fired her." From that point on, her descent was rapid. She
began to appear on white supremacist media sites where she recited the
infamous "14 words." (We must secure the existence of our people and a
future for white children.) It is the credo of white supremacy evolved
by David Lane, leader of the neo-Nazi terrorist group "The Order." Lane
was convicted and sentenced for violating the civil rights of Alan
Berg, then a Jewish talk show host who was murdered in June 1984. Three
members of "The Order" shot Berg in his driveway. Lane drove the
get-away car. Goldy's meteoric rise in the far right continued.
Appearing on a far- right television program, Goldy hyped the
anti-Semitic tome For My Legionaries. Written in the 1930s, the
renowned Southern Poverty Law Center describes it as "the canonical
works of global fascism." It advocated the genocide of Jews even before
Hitler enacted the Holocaust. Goldy described it as "very, very, very,
very spot on. . ."

TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford distanced himself Wednesday from a
Toronto woman known for her extreme views following repeated Opposition
questions about a photograph he took with her.

Ford had been asked for three consecutive days at the legislature to
denounce Faith Goldy, a former journalist and now controversial Toronto
mayoral candidate, but had only said he was against hate speech.

I was looking through old scientology shows and came across this one
from 2010.

I had not watched it in many years, but found it fascinating.

Obviously, my views about scientology have changed.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani posed for pictures with a
right-wing media personality turned mayoral candidate accused of
promoting white nationalism and anti-Semitic literature.

The candidate, Faith Goldy, is a far-right YouTuber who is running to
be mayor of Toronto. She posted the photos with President Donald
Trump's lawyer on her Instagram feed Tuesday.

"Just like Giuliani cleaned up the streets of NYC, our tough on crime
playbook is going to run illegal guns & gangs right out of Toronto!"
Goldy wrote on Twitter.

This week I have a sort of informal interview with former Scientologist
and high-level Sea Org member Karen de la Carriere. She and I have a
wide-ranging discussion about the pros and (mostly) cons of
Scientology, disconnection, fair gaming and spiritual belief.

Andrew Scheer Is The Only Major Leader Not Planning To Attend A Climate
Protest Friday

Andrew Scheer plans to be the only major federal leader to sit out
climate protests taking place at more than 140 different places across
Canada Friday.

At a press conference in Montreal Thursday, the Conservative leader
said the Tories will have "representation," in the form of local
candidates, at a massive climate march set to take place in that city
Friday.

The event is expected to draw thousands of people, including Swedish
teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. Earlier this week, Green Party
Leader Elizabeth May urged leader to put their swords away and attend
the Montreal rally, saying the climate crisis is "more important than
partisan politics."

But the Tory leader said that while he will be "sending my support to
them," he is booked with campaign events in Vancouver (where another
climate strike will be held.)

Andrew Scheer Just Announced a Sneaky Campaign Promise That Would Let Rich
Canadians Dodge Taxes
September 26, 2019, PressProgress
https://pressprogress.ca/andrew-scheer-just-announced-a-sneaky-campaign-promise-that-would-let-rich-canadians-dodge-taxes/

In 2017, the federal government announced it was closing a loophole in
the small business tax code that allowed rich Canadians to use private
companies to shelter their investments to dodge taxes. At the time,
Scheer's Conservatives railed against the move as an attack on farmers
and small business owners.

Sanger said Scheer's Conservatives are trying to confuse the public by
conflating a tax loophole for millionaires with a tax cut for mom and
pop shops on Main Street.

"The Conservatives and the business lobby groups really tried to paint
these measures as things that would hurt small mom and pop shops,"
Sanger said, "but the real beneficiaries of these are wealthy
individuals and professionals who are sheltering billions and billions
of dollars in these private corporations."

Despite Scheer's sneaky attempt to portray a loophole for millionaires
as something that benefits ordinary small business owners, the
overwhelming majority of small business owners don't actually benefit
from it.

Canada's Climate Scientists Can't Do Their Jobs Because Of Corporate Tax
Loopholes
September 26, 2019, Anja Kundacina, Narcity
https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/tax-loopholes-in-canada-are-reportedly-leaving-climate-scientists-with-less-resources

The results are in from a survey taken by federal scientists in Canada.
More than 95 percent say that climate change is a crisis in need of
immediate action, while only 20 percent of them think Canada is doing
enough to fight and mitigate the crisis. This is largely due to
corporate tax loopholes in Canada which are taking billions of dollars
away from science, the research says.

The survey was conducted by the Professional Institute of the Public
Service of Canada (PIPSC), a union representing 60,000 public service
professionals including Canada's scientists.

"Nine out of 10 Canada Revenue Agency tax professionals say it is
easier for corporations and wealthy individuals to evade or avoid tax
responsibilities than it is for average Canadians," said PIPSC
President Debi Daviau.

We had arranged to talk on Monday with Allen Warren, a Sacramento city
councilman, and when he called, he let us know he was at a golf course.

"Hey, I'm out here with Mike at a golf tournament," he told us.

He was referring to the Church of Scientology Sacramento's public
affairs director, Mike Klagenberg, who had arrived at the tournament
with a "Say No to Drugs" booth at the charity event where Warren was
calling us from.

Documents offer glimpse at Alberta's Energy War Room leadership and
reconnaissance

https://www.thestar.com/calgary/2019/09/26/documents-offer-glimpse-at-albertas-energy-war-room-leadership-and-reconnaissance.html

CALGARY-Documents obtained by Star Calgary show the blueprints for
Alberta's Energy War Room are almost complete, as the government
quietly prepares its strategy to counter criticism of the province's
oil-and-gas industry.

Premier Jason Kenney announced in August that Claudia Cattaneo, a
former National Post business columnist, was hired to draft the overall
plan of attack but offered few details.

Her contract, obtained with other government documents under the
Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Act, shows she'll be paid
up to $50,000, including expenses, to also plan the war room's specific
tactics and staffing.

Energy think tank accuses Conservatives of misusing their research in ad

OTTAWA -- A British Columbia think tank asked the Conservatives on
Thursday to either stop running a new anti-carbon tax ad, or remove the
reference in it to Clean Energy Canada's research.

Dan Woynillowicz, policy director for Clean Energy Canada, says
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer's new ad misrepresents research done
by the Simon Fraser University think tank.

"The information in the ad needs to be corrected, or it needs to be
removed from circulation," said Woynillowicz.

How are memes being used to sway voters? Researchers aim to find out

TORONTO -- Memes have become a powerful tool for political parties and
partisan groups to spread their message, and a group of researchers aim
to find out just how this social media content will be used to sway
votes in this election.

With the help of his undergraduate class, Fenwick McKelvey, an
associate professor of communication studies at Concordia University in
Montreal, will be taking a deep dive into the memes of the 2019
Canadian election, including how they're shared, what went viral, what
was particularly effective and how they changed the conversation.

In the group's first report, the team suggests 75 per cent of the
meme-posting Facebook groups they found are negative toward Trudeau.

In her pitch to voters, Renata Ford puts her family's legacy first, the
People's Party banner in the background
September 26, 2019, Jill Mahoney, Globe and Mail
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-in-her-pitch-to-voters-renata-ford-puts-her-familys-legacy-first/

Ms. Ford is trying to tap into the Ford family dynasty in Etobicoke
North, a diverse, northwest Toronto constituency. Ontario Premier Doug
Ford, who is her brother-in-law, holds the same riding provincially and
nephew Councillor Michael Ford represents it at city hall.

Ms. Ford, who is a candidate for the fringe, far-right People's Party
of Canada, is trying to unseat incumbent Liberal MP Kirsty Duncan, who
has held the riding for the past 11 years.

Ms. Ford's unexpected foray into politics comes after a turbulent few
years: the 2016 death of her husband after a mayoral term marred by a
crack cocaine scandal, her own history of substance abuse and her
lawsuit against Doug Ford.

Ontario to lose more than 10,000 teaching positions over five years under
Ford government changes: watchdog
September 26, 2019, Kristin Rushowy, Toronto Star

Ontario will have 10,000 fewer teaching positions over the next five
years as the Ford government boosts class sizes and introduces
mandatory online courses, says the legislature's independent financial
watchdog.

Some 994 elementary and 9,060 secondary positions will be gone from the
system based on the previous student-teacher ratios, the Financial
Accountability Office of Ontario said in an explosive report - one that
landed in the midst of contract negotiations and just days before the
high school teachers' union is set to sit down at the bargaining table
with the government and school boards.

This year alone, there are 2,826 fewer teachers than there would have
been under the teacher/student ratios of 2018-19, says the report
released Thursday at Queen's Park.
