In the latest news about the cult of scientology, we are waiting for the deposition of cult leader David Miscavige in Monique Rathbun's harassment lawsuit, which cult lawyers are fighting and delaying with every tactic possible.

Meanwhile, here's an article and video covering one of the cult's most lucrative front groups, Narconon, a drug rehab scam based on L. Ron Hubbard's brain poop about radiation poisoning, among other teachings.

The video includes several clips from Miscavige's quarterly lie fest for staff and public about how great the cult is doing. (Did you know Mexico City's prison recidivism rate is only 1% due to the implementation of scientology courses given to prisoners and guards? lol)

Enjoy. Hopefully we'll hear something about the deposition soon.

Federal suit: Scientologists spent $30 million to cover up death of Lisa McPherson:

http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/282987/34/Federal-suit-Scientologist-spent-30-mil-to-cover-death

"Blockbuster charges in a Federal Suit involving the Church of Scientology. It involves accusations of impropriety and some of the most respected members of the judiciary and legal profession.
The allegations are coming from the former number-two man in the organization, and involve what he says is a multi-million dollar cover up of the death of a woman in Scientology care.
The woman at the center of it all is Lisa McPherson, who died in 1995 after being involved in a minor traffic accident.
At the time of the accident, McPherson who was a Church of Scientology member, said she needed psychiatric help. Instead, the church members took her to the Ft. Harrison Hotel to care for her.

Just 17 days later, Lisa McPherson was dead.

McPherson's death spawned emotional protests near Scientology headquarters in Downtown Clearwater, a lawsuit from her family - as some charged they let her die and watched her die - and criminal prosecution from the Pinellas State Attorney's office.
The Church was charged with a second degree felony for practicing medicine without a license, and abuse of a disabled adult.
However, the charges were dropped after Pinellas Medical Examiner Joan Wood changed the cause of death from unknown to accidental.
Marty Rathbun, the former number-two man in Scientology, alleges that the organization showered gifts on the Medical Examiner's attorney, Jeff Goodis, to influence her to change the cause of death.
Once that happened, the criminal case fell apart.
In addition, Rathbun says the Church hired another attorney, former prosecutor Lee Fugate, to have illegal Ex parte meetings with judges involved in the case."


Rathbun is finally telling what everyone has suspected for years - $camology killed Lisa McPherson and then bought off the legal system.
 
It's nice that religions need to buy the legal system these days as opposed to in the past where they just ran the legal system. It's a baby step of progress, but it's still progress.

I don't think that will work. You forgot the pentagon on the floor, candles, saying prayers backwards etc.

Did you not know that L. Ron Hubbard eradicated black magic in America??

Scientology accounts do not mention Hubbard's involvement in occultism. He is instead described as "continu[ing] to write to help support his research" during this period into "the development of a means to better the condition of man".[124] The Church of Scientology has nonetheless acknowledged Hubbard's involvement with the OTO; a 1969 statement, written by Hubbard himself,[125] said:
Hubbard broke up black magic in America ... L. Ron Hubbard was still an officer of the U.S. Navy, because he was well known as a writer and a philosopher and had friends amongst the physicists, he was sent in to handle the situation. He went to live at the house and investigated the black magic rites and the general situation and found them very bad ...
Hubbard's mission was successful far beyond anyone's expectations. The house was torn down. Hubbard rescued a girl they were using. The black magic group was dispersed and destroyed and has never recovered.[126]
