"I was skeptical, so after a few Google searches, I found out that 'Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison' has attracted the attention of Anonymous – those guys who hate Scientology. It looks like they've pulled together a lot of information about Kirstie Alley and her weight loss program. They say that the costs of Organic Liaison (a membership fee and supplements) would go to fund Scientology. Hmm…"

***If the title of this post offends anyone, I'm sorry, but I do best - and that one was pretty good!
"You know, far be it from me to tell anyone what religion they want to follow. But here's a tip: if you're a controversial religious group trying to ingratiate yourself into a buckle-of-the-Bible Belt town, it might help if your security didn't act like a bunch of goons."
-- Lady Beale, after Scientology's police force got rough with Anonymous, recently, claiming they own the sidewalk - right in front of the video camera, above - for Southern Beale.
We're sure someone will have a wonderful excuse for this very, very soon,...like, "What were they doing with a camera?"
"It has been more than 40 years since Granada Television of England broadcast a show titled 'The Shrinking World of L. Ron Hubbard'. Back then Scientology was still a hot new thing among the hippy culture and those looking for something new outside of mainstream religion. L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction author, created Scientology in the 1950's claiming it as an alternative to medical science. When pressed by the FDA in the US, he changed it into a religion,..."
-- AnonymousX, putting the blame for this nonsense right where it belongs - on hippies and NewAgers - just as the blame for much of what plagues us today belongs, so Rant and Rave.
Using freedoms of assembly and speech, but opting to do it anonymously, two Yelm sophomores stood on the corner of Yelm Avenue and First Street Friday holding signs calling Scientology a dangerous cult.
Wearing masks and hats, the boys kept their identities hidden and wouldn’t give their names.
Their message of “Scientology kills” is somewhat well-known, the boys claimed.
“It’s kind of spreading around America,” said one mask-wearing boy.
The plan is to stand at that corner every Friday after school “until we feel satisfied (that the message gets out there).”
People’s responses to the peaceful protest were mixed. The boys said they were spat at, given the finger, honked at, waved at, given rock-on signs and the thumbs up.
Negative responses didn’t bother the boys too much, they said.
“They’re probably just doing it to see if they can look cool, but they’re not,” said one of the anonymous protestors.

Lots to report on the war today, starting with another "ANONYMOUS", this one making contact through Tom Kinsolving's Jonestown Apologists Alert site. "ANONYMOUS" writes (in part):
"Active cults are still the best place for psychopaths to dabble in their most evil and cruel tortures...Scientology high priest Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, who, shall we say, made more than a million clams...all behind a cloak of spiritual open-mindedness. A few apologists still singing the songs and making the bliss ninny noises thirty years after the thing was tragically shut down is just a curious side show. Not a thing of any consequence.
Roosting on the families of all those concerned relatives connected with all the kids in all those groups currently being tracked by Rick Ross (above) and Steve Hassan.
But I don't want it in my life. I consciously choose to not do the brave thing that Les Kinsolving (above) did. I chose to stay in the background - fuming. But not making myself a target. These are nasty people, and they don't play nice. And I don't need it in my life.
So I come here, and I voice my opinion, and I speak my truth, and I don't leave my name, and the guy in the next cube doesn't even know I have an opinion. And that is exactly the way I want it. And frankly, I think my right to privacy is respected in our little Republic, and protected. So I'll sign off 'Anonymous' -- again."
I hear that. He's a brave soul, either way. Not everyone's cut out for direct confrontation with mind-benders and other assorted freaks.
Owned. Oh well, we all need our motivations, I guess,....anybody else notice the examples given are all of situations where men - exclusively - have lost control of their world? (Lost a sense of The Macho Response maybe?) And this too - wow - isn't making great arteasy?
Jenna Miscavige Hill's motivations seem pure enough. She's the niece of David Miscavige, the maybe-chief honcho at Scientology (There's disagreement if it's him or Tom Cruise) and she recently wrote a letter stating how the cult tore apart her - and many other people's - families.
It'll be interesting to see how the cult plays that one - or if the media will ever decide to really get in on this. (Are Will and Jada Smith (above) in or out? Entertainment Weekly - Hello!) Oh well, I've given them ample opportunity, and they seem to have missed the boat every time. I hate to admit it, because I love the news so much, but the enormity of the Cult War story makes it glaringly obvious to all with eyes to see:
The mainstream media sucks.
O.K. - I gotta go - you kids play nice. (Kidding.)
