No, it’s not some kooky mind-control cult. Any one of the tens of thousands of practicing Scientologists in the United States will give you his or her own viewpoint about it. If they were all mind controlled, wouldn’t they give you the same story? It’s always different, from one person to another, how they got […]

Mark Joyner’s “The Irresistible OFFER”
I am reading Mark Joyner’s “The Irresistible OFFER – How to Sell your Product or Service in 3 Seconds or Less!” It makes a lot of sense and it ties in neatly with all the branding and positioning info I’ve learned from Al Ries and Jack Trout over the years. It also ties in nicely […]
Scientology books revised & re-released
A revolutionary action has occurred in Scientology within the last month. Those responsible for maintaining the integrity of the materials of Scientology (that’s the Religious Technology Center, to whom L. Ron Hubbard left the rights to all the materials he developed over his long and prodigious life) recently completed a major project where they went […]
Psychiatrist Airs his Doubts

Here’s an article about Drug company money paid to psychiatrists. The gist is that psychiatrists who take the most money from drug companies making antipsychotic drugs are the ones that […]
LRH House on Camelback
The house where L. Ron Hubbard lived in Phoenix, Arizona in 1952 has been restored to the way it looked then, including many of the original decorations, furniture, carpets, drapes and so on. It is (from what I’ve heard from people who visited it) like stepping into a time machine to the early 1950s. 1952 […]
Another psychiatrist who broke ranks…
David Kaiser, MD, (a psychiatrist) wrote an article in 1996 that makes the claim that “psychiatry has quite literally lost its mind”. Here’s the text of his article about biologic psychiatry and the problems with it. This practicing psychiatrist comes right out and says the same thing that CCHR has been saying for some time: […]
Beautiful day….
I couldn’t stand sitting at the computer through another beautiful afternoon, so Marie and I headed out for a walk. These were some of the photos I took as I hiked and she rode her horse (“Heavy”) up the hill behind our house to the lookout:Foxglove View Stonecrop-Covered Rock Face Stonecrop Flowers Sword Ferns All […]
Hippocrites’ Oath
Yes, I KNOW that’s mis-spelled. This cartoon from M.E. Cohen says it pretty well: [image link died]
