Judge accused by former lawyer for Scientologists
September 20, 1988, Stephen Koff, St. Petersburg Times
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/51375698.html?dids=51375698:51375698&FMT=FT
A former Church of Scientology lawyer Monday accused a federal judge of
meeting privately with members of her former law firm and assuring them
that if they represented Scientology, she would not remove herself from
important Scientology cases.
The assurances, though highly improper, were important to the church,
the lawyer said. Scientologists thought that if they could keep U.S.
District Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer, whom they perceived as favorable to
them, and get new lawyers who might have sway with her, they could win
several lawsuits, the lawyer said.
The charge was made in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles by Joseph
Yanny, who said he had witnesses to the meeting. The hearing was not
specifically on Yanny's charges, but related to other matters in a
Scientology suit.

Scientology trial opens in France
September 20, 1999, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/452734.stm
Seven members of the Church of Scientology have gone on trial in France
on charges of fraud.
The trial, in the southern city of Marseille, has led to renewed calls
for the banning of Scientology in France, which officially regards it
as a dangerous cult rather than a religion.
The charges against the seven defendants - who are alleged to have
obtained large sums of money from fellow sect-members by fraudulent
means - date back to the late 1980s.
The case opened amid controversy over the disappearance of 50 boxes of
evidence from the Marseille prosecutor's office.

Changed Lives; Religious Leader Takes His Calling to Ground Zero

AMID faces gray with grief and grime, theirs are fresh, even smiling.
Among blackened uniforms and sooty equipment, their yellow T-shirts are
bright buoys. They are clean.
At any time, well over 100 volunteer ministers from the Church of
Scientology mill around the remains of the World Trade Center. On the
day of the attack, they took in food to workers. Since then, they have
taken the mind-altering techniques developed by the church's founder, L.
Ron Hubbard.

Hallock's sells city building Business plans to relocate locally
September 20, 2003, Steve Higgins, New Haven Register
http://www.nhregister.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=10194936&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=517515&rfi=8
The Church of Scientology bought the 35,000-square-foot building for $1.
5 million.
Carol Yingling, a church minister, said the church plans to move its
Connecticut headquarters into the building. The current headquarters is
in 9,000 square feet of leased space just down the street.
"We are really busting out at the seams," she said. "I'm looking
forward to having a place to hold community meetings."
Yingling said the move will allow the church to potentially quadruple
its staff of 35.

City ill at ease with sect

http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070920/CULTURE/109200036/1015
Sure, says Mayor Frank Hibbard. It can be a little unsettling sometimes
-- throngs of Scientologists wandering Clearwater's streets in their
blue or khaki trousers and crisp dress shirts.
Sometimes, it makes the neighbors a bit uneasy. "When you come to
downtown, no one likes being a minority," Mr. Hibbard said.

Lynwood Residents Accuse Willoughby of Malpractice and Misrepresentation
September 20, 2007, Yussuf Simmonds, Los Angeles Sentinel
http://www.lasentinel.net/Lynwood-Residents-Accuse-Willoughby-of-Malpractice-and-Misrepresentation.html
As a result of Willoughby's inadequate legal representation, the recall
process will proceed, and the mayor and city council must now defend
the recall rather than doing the business that they were elected to do.
Council-member Rev. Alfreddie Johnson believed that his service as an
elected official on behalf of the residents of Lynwood would thwart the
recall. He said, "After the recall election is over, we are going to
investigate the appointment of the city attorney. It is the responsible
thing to do; it's good for the citizens of Lynwood and for the city
council."

Scientology Moves In Downtown

The night clubs, shops and lunch spots of downtown Albuquerque are
about to get a new neighbor. The Church of Scientology is in the
process of purchasing the Gizmo's building at 410 Central SE near
Fourth Street, says Gabriel Rivera, a redevelopment planner with City
Planning. "From what I've heard, in other places and other cities,
[Scientologists] usually locate in the Downtown areas," Rivera says.
Local Scientologists confirmed the deal.

4chan launches DDoS against entertainment industry
September 20, 2010, John Leyden, The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/20/4chan_ddos_mpaa_riaa/
"Operation: Payback Is A Bitch" began as an attack against Aiplex - a
controversial Indian firm that works for Bollywood film studios and
carries out DDoS attacks on websites hosting BitTorrent trackers that
fail to respond to takedown notices - before progressing onto other
entertainment industry websites. The attacks were initially coordinated
via a IRC channel, which has since been taken offline.

Inspectors target 19 unsafe South End properties
September 20, 2010, Cara Bayles, Boston Globe
http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/south_end/2010/09/inspectors_target_19_unsafe_so.html
The buildings targeted in the South End run a range from fire safety
concerns to complete dilapidation. The Taj Hotel is listed because it
doesn't have standpipes below the third floor. The Alexandra Hotel at
1769 Washington St., which has already been slated for renovation as
the Church of Scientology's new 45,000 square-foot headquarters, has a
wall that is in danger of collapsing under its own weight, according to
the city's inventory of unsafe properties.

An assault case against former Scientology official Mark "Marty"
Rathbun was rejected by the San Patricio County Attorney's Office
Tuesday, less than four days after Rathbun's arrest.
County Attorney David Aken said his office determined no jury would
convict Rathbun after seeing the way in which the complainant and his
Scientology film crew had been videotaping Rathbun's life for the last
155 days.

A former drug and alcohol addict is suing a Scientology-based clinic
after he jumped off a third-floor balcony and suffered 'severe injuries'.
William Sweeney has accused the Pur Detox clinic in Dana Point,
California, of negligence, medical malpractice and negligent supervision.
He claims that the clinic tried to wean him off his prescribed
medication - which included an anti-psychotic and an anti-opiate - too
quickly, following only a 20-minute interview.

Barbara Walters Slammed for Supporting Scientology's Education System
September 20, 2013, Sami K. Martin, Christian Post
http://global.christianpost.com/news/barbara-walters-slammed-for-supporting-scientologys-education-system-105022/
"Without getting into the details of my childhood and the dangers of
Scientology's education system, I will say this. The leader of
Scientology, Tom Cruise's best man, my uncle David Miscavige, is a high
school dropout. What does that say about the value Scientology puts on
education? Is this not what Jaden Smith is advocating?" Jenna asked.
"I don't know what propaganda you have seen or what your celebrity
advocate friends have told you, but it's time to look a little deeper.
If you don't want to know the truth (which I gather is the case from
you saying you 'don't want to talk about Scientology') then please
refrain from praising a system you clearly know nothing about," she
concluded.

T he European Court of Human Rights has dismissed a complaint from

on an ongoing investigation into the movement.
ECHR rejects Scientology bid Briefly, Scientology was arguing its right
to a fair trial had been breached by comments made by prosecutors. The
ECHR pointed out that since the trial had not yet taken place, that was
a little premature.

JENNA HILL RESPONDS TO BARBARA WALTERS ON SCIENTOLOGY EDUCATION
September 20, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/20/jenna-hill-responds-to-barbara-walters-on-scientology-education/
On Tuesday, Barbara Walters once again came to the rescue for
Scientology, this time sticking up for the church's "educational
programs" on The View.
Whoopi Goldberg started the discussion by bringing up Jaden Smith's
infamous tweet, in which the 15-year-old actor encouraged kids to drop
out of school. Jenny McCarthy then brought up Scientology, which the
Smith family has been said to dabble in. At that point, Walters spoke
up, saying, "I'm not going to speak about Scientology in general, but
Scientology has a pretty good educational program. They're not telling
people to drop out."
That surprised Sherri Shepherd, who remembered that the program had
recently had a guest who said just the opposite. "She said they pulled
her out and put her in a camp. What kind of school is that? It's like
it was a hard labor camp. She built the doggone - the huts that they
lived in."

More On The Vulture Culture Revisited
September 20, 2013, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/more-on-the-vulture-culture-revisited/
My apologies for being somewhat out of touch on the blog over the last
little while. I have been attending to some business. I was looking for
something tonight for another reason and came across this post I did on
Marty Rathbun's blog in November 2011. I thought it very relevant to
much that has been said of late and so I am republishing it here for
any who may not have read it back at that time. The use of the term
"POB" in here was understood by the blog readers at the time to be
"Pope on a Box" a reference to the fact that Miscavige uses an "apple
box" to make him appear taller (an apple box is a common film-making
term for a box used for this purpose to raise actors in a scene).
In any event, I thought this might be of interest today as it is just
as valid now as when it was written. Perhaps even more so.

Scientology Indoctrination Abomination
September 20, 2014, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/scientology-indoctrination-abomination/
There is a specific sector of scientology 'technology' that clearly
betrays the subject's hypnotic, mind controlling nature.
That is L. Ron Hubbard's 'False Data Stripping' technology. In short,
Hubbard dictates that one identify the source of any data that is
getting in the road of a person adopting, with 100% certainty and
exclusivity, any datum from scientology's indoctrination. Hubbard has
the practitioner search for the data that conflicts with a datum
Hubbard is attempting to get across. The objective is to eradicate the
earlier datum utterly so that only Hubbard's datum remains unopposed.
First the practitioner and the recipient are indoctrinated to accept
that holding conflicting data of any sort is a sort of aberration or
mental dysfunction. There is no concept of plurality or synthesis when
it comes to understanding in scientology. Please read this from the
Hubbard indoctrination very carefully and try to think with the
consequences of accepting it as Gospel.

SMP News
September 20, 2014, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/smp-news/
OK, here are some tidbits of interest from the Valley OTC meeting,
focusing on the KCET Studios, combined with some information that has
come in from several Special Correspondents.
This facility has now assumed a new acronym - SMP (Scientology Media
Productions). It has fairly recently been integrated into the Int
Liaison Office (a strange move when there has been NO CO ILO on post
for some years, it is reported to be "held" by the CO CMO IXU).
Part of SMP is Mad Hatter Studios - Chick Corea's former recording
studio that was purchased by Dear Leader as his handling for "getting
Chick's finances in order." It was fully renovated and was supposed to
be used for "recordings in LA" that couldn't be done at Int. In truth,
it was simply another unusual solution and it has remained virtually
unutilized since the day it was bought. CCHR has done some Voice Overs
for Public Service Announcements there, and a radio show, Chick has
recorded some stuff, and the Jive Asses (as Dear Leader calls them)
recorded their latest album there. Apart from that, it is a white
elephant. Even the person who was once a Miscavige "golden child"
Chandra Lorentzen - head of Mad Hatter for years and then took over as
head of SMP - is now in disfavor and was busted. Reportedly "COB"
hand-picked her successor - Kelly Heddin, one of the backup
singer/dancers for the Golden Era musicians. Don't get me wrong, Kelly
is a nice woman - at least she was when she was a Non SO dancer/singer
that attended all events where Gold had singers performing (MV, IAS,
New Years, CC Anniversary). And maybe she has done a great deal of
executive training in the last 5 years, but I doubt it based on the
history of anyone studying anything in the Sea Org.

Sneaky Scientology finds another way to get access to high school students

We've said it before: Scientology never gives up. With its public image
at an all-time low, the sneaky organization continues to infiltrate
where it can with the use of its front groups and stealthy operatives.
One of our vigilant tipsters noticed that Scientologists have wormed
their way into an anti-gang conference happening next week at a Los
Angeles high school.

(VIDEO) Critical Q&A #23
September 20, 2015, Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large

The weekly show where I answer questions from viewers left in the
comments section of my Q&A videos or sent to me by email at
askchri...@gmail.com. This week, the questions I answer are:
(1) I had heard of connections with the beginnings of Scientology and
Dianetics with certain occult practices and that L Ron Hubbard was
interested in some occult subjects. Given that the Internet can be an
unreliable source of information on such topics are you able to shed a
little more light on the matter? Also, thank you for creating content
that is both informative and entertaining.
(2) L. Ron Hubbard said "man is a spiritual being". When you were a
Scientologist what did that mean to you? Do you still believe it? Is it
a testable proposition?

see David Miscavige lead his "OT Summit" on Scientology's private
cruise ship, the Freewinds, over successive nights that June. And now,
we've save the best for last.
Yes, we have the final night of Maiden Voyage 2006, which featured the
Silver Mullet himself, official church biographer Dan Sherman, telling
a whopper of a tale about L. Ron Hubbard that we hope you find as
enjoyable as we do!
We've marveled at Sherman's skills in the past. His yarns about Hubbard
saving the world against an evil cabal of atomic scientists, presented
at the LRH birthday event of 2012, is still one of our all-time
favorite Scientology event videos ever.

The Cult of Scientology is spending more tax exempt dollars in yet
another Fair Game effort to attack Alex Gibney.
David Miscavige quite possibly experienced a major meltdown after
Gibney's three-Emmy sweep for Going Clear.
Cult lackey Joe Taglieri works for Freedom Magazine and is asking to
interview people about Alex Gibney. Please be advised that Joe Taglieri
is an agent in the employ of the malicious and hateful Scientology Cult.

You can always tell how much "entheta" is enturbulating the COB.
Efforts are redoubled to attack perceived threats to his good name and
to flood the internets with "theta" about him.
"Public Enemy #1" at this time is Ron Miscavige. I assume Louis Theroux
and Steve Cannane are soon to move up the rankings. But for the time
being, Ron M retains the top spot and every possible avenue is being
used trying to negate him and destroy his credibility.

EXCLUSIVE: Cat White's marriage to man suing Jim Carrey was a sham to beat
immigration, and was not her first fake wedding
September 20, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2016/09/20/cat-whites-marriage-jim-carrey-mark-burton-sham-immigration-not-first-fake-wedding/
(Burton, White, and Carrey)
A man named Mark Burton filed a wrongful death lawsuit yesterday in Los
Angeles against comedian Jim Carrey, claiming that the actor should be
held liable in last year's apparent suicide of a 30-year-old woman from
Ireland named Cathriona White.
Cat White was Jim Carrey's on-again-off-again Scientologist girlfriend,
and a suicide note she left behind suggested that she killed herself
because she was distraught over Carrey breaking up with her. But she
was also married to Burton, who is accusing Carrey of illegally
obtaining prescription medicines under a fake name in order to supply
them to Cat, who used them to end her life. Carrey has maintained that
the medicines were stolen from him, and he didn't notice they were
missing until it was too late. He expressed great distress at her
death, and attended her funeral in Ireland. But Burton claims in his
lawsuit that Carrey reneged on an agreement to help pay for the
funeral's costs. Burton's attorney, Michael Avenatti, used Twitter
yesterday to claim that Carrey's involvement in his former girlfriend's
death is so suspicious, it warrants a criminal investigation by the Los
Angeles County District Attorney.

Jim Carrey calls lawsuit over ex's death 'heartless'
September 20, 2016, Anthony McCartney, CBC News
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/carrey-wrongful-death-lawsuit-1.3770210
Jim Carrey says a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estranged husband
of his ex-girlfriend is a heartless attempt to exploit him and vowed to
fight the case.
Mark Burton of Portland sued Carrey in Los Angeles Superior Court on
Monday, accusing the actor of providing the prescription drugs his wife
Cathriona White used to overdose in September 2015. The wrongful death
lawsuit contends Carrey improperly obtained prescriptions for Ambien
and the powerful opioid oxycodone under the alias Arthur King.
The suit accuses Carrey of giving White the medications days before she
was found dead in one of Carrey's homes. White and Carrey dated in 2012
and were photographed together in May 2015.

Jim Carrey Wrongful Death Lawsuit: What's at Stake and Why His Texts to
Cathriona White Could Be 'Very Important'

Proving that Jim Carrey is responsible for his late girlfriend's death
is not going to be easy for her estranged husband - but that doesn't
mean he'll come out his wrongful death suit lawsuit empty handed.
Mark Burton, who was legally married to Carrey's late girlfriend
Cathriona White at the time of her death, filed a complaint against the
actor on Monday.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Burton's lawyer Michael Avenatti said he and
Burton are asking for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office to
launch an investigation into White's death. "We look forward to the
facts and evidence relating to Mr. Carrey's conduct and role in the
death of Ms. White coming to light," Avenatti said.

Judge accused by former lawyer for Scientologists
September 20, 1988, Stephen Koff, St. Petersburg Times
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/51375698.html?dids=51375698:51375698&FMT=FT
A former Church of Scientology lawyer Monday accused a federal judge of
meeting privately with members of her former law firm and assuring them
that if they represented Scientology, she would not remove herself from
important Scientology cases.
The assurances, though highly improper, were important to the church,
the lawyer said. Scientologists thought that if they could keep U.S.
District Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer, whom they perceived as favorable to
them, and get new lawyers who might have sway with her, they could win
several lawsuits, the lawyer said.
The charge was made in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles by Joseph
Yanny, who said he had witnesses to the meeting. The hearing was not
specifically on Yanny's charges, but related to other matters in a
Scientology suit.

Scientology trial opens in France
September 20, 1999, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/452734.stm
Seven members of the Church of Scientology have gone on trial in France
on charges of fraud.
The trial, in the southern city of Marseille, has led to renewed calls
for the banning of Scientology in France, which officially regards it
as a dangerous cult rather than a religion.
The charges against the seven defendants - who are alleged to have
obtained large sums of money from fellow sect-members by fraudulent
means - date back to the late 1980s.
The case opened amid controversy over the disappearance of 50 boxes of
evidence from the Marseille prosecutor's office.

The Church of Scientology bought the 35,000-square-foot building for $1.
5 million.
Carol Yingling, a church minister, said the church plans to move its
Connecticut headquarters into the building. The current headquarters is
in 9,000 square feet of leased space just down the street.
"We are really busting out at the seams," she said. "I'm looking
forward to having a place to hold community meetings."
Yingling said the move will allow the church to potentially quadruple

Lynwood Residents Accuse Willoughby of Malpractice and Misrepresentation

As a result of Willoughby's inadequate legal representation, the recall

the recall rather than doing the business that they were elected to do.
Council-member Rev. Alfreddie Johnson believed that his service as an
elected official on behalf of the residents of Lynwood would thwart the
recall. He said, "After the recall election is over, we are going to
investigate the appointment of the city attorney. It is the responsible
thing to do; it's good for the citizens of Lynwood and for the city

"Without getting into the details of my childhood and the dangers of
Scientology's education system, I will say this. The leader of
Scientology, Tom Cruise's best man, my uncle David Miscavige, is a high
school dropout. What does that say about the value Scientology puts on
education? Is this not what Jaden Smith is advocating?" Jenna asked.
"I don't know what propaganda you have seen or what your celebrity
advocate friends have told you, but it's time to look a little deeper.
If you don't want to know the truth (which I gather is the case from
you saying you 'don't want to talk about Scientology') then please
refrain from praising a system you clearly know nothing about," she

JENNA HILL RESPONDS TO BARBARA WALTERS ON SCIENTOLOGY EDUCATION
September 20, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/20/jenna-hill-responds-to-barbara-walters-on-scientology-education/
On Tuesday, Barbara Walters once again came to the rescue for
Scientology, this time sticking up for the church's "educational
programs" on The View.
Whoopi Goldberg started the discussion by bringing up Jaden Smith's
infamous tweet, in which the 15-year-old actor encouraged kids to drop
out of school. Jenny McCarthy then brought up Scientology, which the
Smith family has been said to dabble in. At that point, Walters spoke
up, saying, "I'm not going to speak about Scientology in general, but
Scientology has a pretty good educational program. They're not telling
people to drop out."
That surprised Sherri Shepherd, who remembered that the program had
recently had a guest who said just the opposite. "She said they pulled
her out and put her in a camp. What kind of school is that? It's like
it was a hard labor camp. She built the doggone - the huts that they
lived in."

More On The Vulture Culture Revisited
September 20, 2013, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/more-on-the-vulture-culture-revisited/
My apologies for being somewhat out of touch on the blog over the last
little while. I have been attending to some business. I was looking for
something tonight for another reason and came across this post I did on
Marty Rathbun's blog in November 2011. I thought it very relevant to
much that has been said of late and so I am republishing it here for
any who may not have read it back at that time. The use of the term
"POB" in here was understood by the blog readers at the time to be
"Pope on a Box" a reference to the fact that Miscavige uses an "apple
box" to make him appear taller (an apple box is a common film-making
term for a box used for this purpose to raise actors in a scene).
In any event, I thought this might be of interest today as it is just
as valid now as when it was written. Perhaps even more so.

Scientology Indoctrination Abomination
September 20, 2014, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/scientology-indoctrination-abomination/
There is a specific sector of scientology 'technology' that clearly
betrays the subject's hypnotic, mind controlling nature.
That is L. Ron Hubbard's 'False Data Stripping' technology. In short,
Hubbard dictates that one identify the source of any data that is
getting in the road of a person adopting, with 100% certainty and
exclusivity, any datum from scientology's indoctrination. Hubbard has
the practitioner search for the data that conflicts with a datum
Hubbard is attempting to get across. The objective is to eradicate the
earlier datum utterly so that only Hubbard's datum remains unopposed.
First the practitioner and the recipient are indoctrinated to accept
that holding conflicting data of any sort is a sort of aberration or
mental dysfunction. There is no concept of plurality or synthesis when
it comes to understanding in scientology. Please read this from the
Hubbard indoctrination very carefully and try to think with the
consequences of accepting it as Gospel.

SMP News
September 20, 2014, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/smp-news/
OK, here are some tidbits of interest from the Valley OTC meeting,
focusing on the KCET Studios, combined with some information that has
come in from several Special Correspondents.
This facility has now assumed a new acronym - SMP (Scientology Media
Productions). It has fairly recently been integrated into the Int
Liaison Office (a strange move when there has been NO CO ILO on post
for some years, it is reported to be "held" by the CO CMO IXU).
Part of SMP is Mad Hatter Studios - Chick Corea's former recording
studio that was purchased by Dear Leader as his handling for "getting
Chick's finances in order." It was fully renovated and was supposed to
be used for "recordings in LA" that couldn't be done at Int. In truth,
it was simply another unusual solution and it has remained virtually
unutilized since the day it was bought. CCHR has done some Voice Overs
for Public Service Announcements there, and a radio show, Chick has
recorded some stuff, and the Jive Asses (as Dear Leader calls them)
recorded their latest album there. Apart from that, it is a white
elephant. Even the person who was once a Miscavige "golden child"
Chandra Lorentzen - head of Mad Hatter for years and then took over as
head of SMP - is now in disfavor and was busted. Reportedly "COB"
hand-picked her successor - Kelly Heddin, one of the backup
singer/dancers for the Golden Era musicians. Don't get me wrong, Kelly
is a nice woman - at least she was when she was a Non SO dancer/singer
that attended all events where Gold had singers performing (MV, IAS,
New Years, CC Anniversary). And maybe she has done a great deal of
executive training in the last 5 years, but I doubt it based on the
history of anyone studying anything in the Sea Org.

Sneaky Scientology finds another way to get access to high school students

http://tonyortega.org/2014/09/20/sneaky-scientology-finds-another-way-to-get-access-to-high-school-students/
We've said it before: Scientology never gives up. With its public image
at an all-time low, the sneaky organization continues to infiltrate
where it can with the use of its front groups and stealthy operatives.
One of our vigilant tipsters noticed that Scientologists have wormed
their way into an anti-gang conference happening next week at a Los
Angeles high school.

(VIDEO) Critical Q&A #23
September 20, 2015, Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large
http://mncriticalthinking.com/2015/09/20/video-critical-qa-23/
The weekly show where I answer questions from viewers left in the
comments section of my Q&A videos or sent to me by email at
askchri...@gmail.com. This week, the questions I answer are:
(1) I had heard of connections with the beginnings of Scientology and
Dianetics with certain occult practices and that L Ron Hubbard was
interested in some occult subjects. Given that the Internet can be an
unreliable source of information on such topics are you able to shed a
little more light on the matter? Also, thank you for creating content
that is both informative and entertaining.
(2) L. Ron Hubbard said "man is a spiritual being". When you were a
Scientologist what did that mean to you? Do you still believe it? Is it
a testable proposition?

L. Ron Hubbard, would-be conqueror: Scientology's fable about Rhodesia is a
riot

We're grateful to our source who has been supplying us rare looks at
the Maiden Voyage celebration of 2006. As we've said previously, these
videos are exceedingly tough to find, and it has been illuminating to
see David Miscavige lead his "OT Summit" on Scientology's private
cruise ship, the Freewinds, over successive nights that June. And now,
we've save the best for last.
Yes, we have the final night of Maiden Voyage 2006, which featured the
Silver Mullet himself, official church biographer Dan Sherman, telling
a whopper of a tale about L. Ron Hubbard that we hope you find as
enjoyable as we do!
We've marveled at Sherman's skills in the past. His yarns about Hubbard
saving the world against an evil cabal of atomic scientists, presented
at the LRH birthday event of 2012, is still one of our all-time
favorite Scientology event videos ever.

Urgent: Alex Gibney Update
September 20, 2015, Jeffrey Augustine, Scientology Money Project
http://scientologymoneyproject.com/2015/09/20/urgent-alex-gibney-update/
The Cult of Scientology is spending more tax exempt dollars in yet
another Fair Game effort to attack Alex Gibney.
David Miscavige quite possibly experienced a major meltdown after
Gibney's three-Emmy sweep for Going Clear.
Cult lackey Joe Taglieri works for Freedom Magazine and is asking to
interview people about Alex Gibney. Please be advised that Joe Taglieri
is an agent in the employ of the malicious and hateful Scientology Cult.

David Miscavige Desperate for PR
September 20, 2016, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/david-miscavige-desperate-for-pr/
You can always tell how much "entheta" is enturbulating the COB.
Efforts are redoubled to attack perceived threats to his good name and
to flood the internets with "theta" about him.
"Public Enemy #1" at this time is Ron Miscavige. I assume Louis Theroux
and Steve Cannane are soon to move up the rankings. But for the time
being, Ron M retains the top spot and every possible avenue is being
used trying to negate him and destroy his credibility.

EXCLUSIVE: Cat White's marriage to man suing Jim Carrey was a sham to beat
immigration, and was not her first fake wedding
September 20, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2016/09/20/cat-whites-marriage-jim-carrey-mark-burton-sham-immigration-not-first-fake-wedding/
(Burton, White, and Carrey)
A man named Mark Burton filed a wrongful death lawsuit yesterday in Los
Angeles against comedian Jim Carrey, claiming that the actor should be
held liable in last year's apparent suicide of a 30-year-old woman from
Ireland named Cathriona White.
Cat White was Jim Carrey's on-again-off-again Scientologist girlfriend,
and a suicide note she left behind suggested that she killed herself
because she was distraught over Carrey breaking up with her. But she
was also married to Burton, who is accusing Carrey of illegally
obtaining prescription medicines under a fake name in order to supply
them to Cat, who used them to end her life. Carrey has maintained that
the medicines were stolen from him, and he didn't notice they were
missing until it was too late. He expressed great distress at her
death, and attended her funeral in Ireland. But Burton claims in his
lawsuit that Carrey reneged on an agreement to help pay for the
funeral's costs. Burton's attorney, Michael Avenatti, used Twitter
yesterday to claim that Carrey's involvement in his former girlfriend's
death is so suspicious, it warrants a criminal investigation by the Los
Angeles County District Attorney.

Jim Carrey calls lawsuit over ex's death 'heartless'
September 20, 2016, Anthony McCartney, CBC News
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/carrey-wrongful-death-lawsuit-1.3770210
Jim Carrey says a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estranged husband
of his ex-girlfriend is a heartless attempt to exploit him and vowed to
fight the case.
Mark Burton of Portland sued Carrey in Los Angeles Superior Court on
Monday, accusing the actor of providing the prescription drugs his wife
Cathriona White used to overdose in September 2015. The wrongful death
lawsuit contends Carrey improperly obtained prescriptions for Ambien
and the powerful opioid oxycodone under the alias Arthur King.
The suit accuses Carrey of giving White the medications days before she
was found dead in one of Carrey's homes. White and Carrey dated in 2012
and were photographed together in May 2015.

Jim Carrey Wrongful Death Lawsuit: What's at Stake and Why His Texts to
Cathriona White Could Be 'Very Important'
September 20, 2016, Michael Miller, People
http://www.people.com/article/jim-carrey-wrongful-death-lawsuit-legal-expert
Proving that Jim Carrey is responsible for his late girlfriend's death
is not going to be easy for her estranged husband - but that doesn't
mean he'll come out his wrongful death suit lawsuit empty handed.
Mark Burton, who was legally married to Carrey's late girlfriend
Cathriona White at the time of her death, filed a complaint against the
actor on Monday.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Burton's lawyer Michael Avenatti said he and
Burton are asking for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office to
launch an investigation into White's death. "We look forward to the
facts and evidence relating to Mr. Carrey's conduct and role in the
death of Ms. White coming to light," Avenatti said.
