  1. Re:Straighten up on Dutch A.G. Supports Scientology v. Spaink Verdict · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised he didn't link to Melton, another apologist for hire.

    Don't forget Galaxy Press which publishes Elron's sci-fi stuff now that most people know Bridge Publications is Scientology. They even did a Master Storyteller book on how great a writer Ole Elron was. (And they're not just saying that because they're Scientology, no sir!)

    And even if you have or going to get cancer, Hubbard's quackery can cure that:
    A man who didn't have much liability to skin cancer (he only had a few moles) took Dianazene. His whole jaw turned into a raw mass of cancer. He kept taking Dianazene and it disappeared after a while. We were looking at a case of skin cancer that might have happened.

    -- L. Ron Hubbard
    All About Radiation, 1989 ed., p. 137

    Sounds pretty scary. Dianazene was Hubbard's name for his cocktail of stuff including niacin. The FDA cracked down hard on him for that.

    Sadly incomplete without a wav link (From a nice page of stuff.)

    Not that Heber is in favour of free access to information about Scientology, of course. The recording of him going nuts during a KFI interview is such a classic! (Part 8 and especially 9.)

    Gee, I wonder why their Narconon front was kicked out of giving talks about drugs in California schools recently? Could it perhaps be due to pseudo-science crud like the dangerous Purification Program?

  8. Re:Copyright on Dutch A.G. Supports Scientology v. Spaink Verdict · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's also a lot of reasons to suspect that Hubbard's last deathbed will was dodgy as hell and that they don't really even own the copyrights.

  9. Scientology has a hate page on Karen on Dutch A.G. Supports Scientology v. Spaink Verdict · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Right here They use a few layers of deniability for this. religiousfreedomwatch.org aka parishioners.org is registered by the "Scientology Parishioners Committee". (Not that they even use that name on the site.)

    Scientology edges the line of lies and libel because they'd really love to have a critic try to fight them in court where they've been quite happy to spend millions to crush single critics. They'd abuse the hell out depositions during discovery (as usual), and then drag the case out for years of expense. If they lost, they could just collapse their sock-puppet, and pop up another one. (This in the 3rd generation of such sites.)

    Take a look and think about what kind of cthurch puts up a site like that.

    Sure, he could have blocked everything except port 80 and served up only a local page that explained how to approach him to gain access and a full connection.

    So long as they don't have a "life is short/but the days are long" pass-phrase, I doubt there's much to worry about.

    Not to worry. I hear that there are Bluetooth snipers standing by.

    Just you wait. In Revenge of the Sith, it turns out that Jar-Jar turns to the dark side and kills Palaptine and takes his place. Click-click, edit, click, and will always have been his long nose sticking out of the emperor's cowl.

  17. Re:Probability = 1 on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    That's what I meant by observer effect. :) Obviously the first planet that an observer will see is one that supports life and Probability = 1. The planets after that have to take their chances. Some people get confused by this and require a God factor to make it work out.

  18. Life on Earth. What are the odds? on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    With all the weird planets we'e seeing out there now, isn't it extremely lucky that the planet we live on just happens to support life? (Okay, there might be a little observer effect here.)

    It was a modest proposal. I've tried giving some annoyingly persistant P2Pware a redirect back to their own IP address, but I doubt that had much effect either.

    Why should he use a removal process for something he didn't sign up for? If someone else signed him up, then their verification process is broken. (More likely the spammer just harvested the addresses.)
