Prosecutor General's Office declares Ron Hubbard's books extremist

Two former executives have been waging a court battle against Diskeeper, alleging the software company's CEO, a Scientologist, practiced religious discrimination. As it turns out, they have documents intended to prove it.
The company's former CIO and Automation Planning Officer failed to injoin Diskeeper from using the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the administration of the company. Now the Burbank, California company is going for the legal jugular, seeking summary dismissal of the case.
Amid this legal tussle, plaintiffs attorney Barry Kaufman filed a legal declaration containing the text of a "Diskeeper Company Handbook." You can read it in full here. In a nutshell, it has CEO Craig Jensen (pictured) speaking in the style of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard — and citing him directly.
Take the three-page excerpt below. It is part of what Jensen dubbed an "ESI (Executive Software International) Policy Directive," nomenclature not unlike Hubbard's "HCO (Hubbard Communications Office) Policy Letter."
And sure enough, right there at the top of the document, Jensen specifically cites two HCO PLs, of 1984. It goes on to echo Scientology's cosmo-apocalyptic language ("the situation here on Earth is one of not-so-quiet desparation"); intergalactic imagery ("a star-high goal"); and megalomaniacal ambition ("I have... set forth a goal... for the creation of a new civilization here on Earth").
Hubbard and his teachings are name-checked constantly — in 10 of 19 paragraphs.


It remains to be seen whether a court will accept the manual as evidence of religious bias. But it makes at least one thing clear: If the market for disk defragmentation software dries up, Jensen could probably develop a reasonably lucrative sideline in science fiction. Or the enthusiastic writer could just start a religion of his own.

..we have this hilarious pile of fluff that was dug up and posted to YouTube this weekend. Make sure you watch it quick, before David Miscavige's minions have it yanked down.
Speaking of diminutive Dave, he can be seen right at the front of this "We are the World"-type singalong that was put together in 1990...all around him are some famous names from Scientology's past and present:
At the 2:40 mark, you'll see everyone together warbling their guts out. Our tipster provided the following playbook:

• Blonde with brown top and black jacket is Shelley Miscavige -- who is now missing.

• To her right -- Ray Mithoff, Former Inspector General for Tech RTC, reported to be in The Hole.

• To his right -- Mark Yager, Former Inspector General for Admin RTC, reported to be in The Hole.

• To his right -- Mark Ingber -- Former Commanding Officer of CMO = Commodore Messengers Org, reported to be in the Hole. To Ingber's right and behind him, Mike Rinder Former Commanding Officer of OSA, currently blown and speaking out against the cult.

• Front and Center -- David Miscavige [the little dude] wearing weird Hermes/goatse shirt. To DM's right and behind him -- Heber Jentzsch, Former President of the C of S, now reportedly in the The Hole.

• To DM's right -- Greg Wilhere -- Inspector General, reportedly still working for DM. To Greg Wilhere's right-- Marty Rathbun, Former Inspector General for Ethics RTC, now out and speaking out against the cult as well as running the "Independent" Scientologists. To Marty's right -- Guillaume Lesevre Executive Director Int. reportedly in the The Hole.

I remember that it was done for one of the events and I think it was IAS anniversary event that was going to be in October. It may have been for an earlier event. It was done to show all the "Wins" and "successes for the year and the song was sung by a Scientologist singer named David Pomeranz. Charles Lake is the Gymnast and had just been on the Olympic team that summer that is why I think it was for the IAS event in October. I remember that the idea was to have all of International Management sing the chorus ala We are the World and DM thought the Scientology public would get a big kick out of it. All of the RTC Inspector Generals were in the front with DM and his wife Shelly and the Executive Director International Guillaume Leserve was there too. Then behind was the rest of RTC and the Watchdog Committee. I recognize many faces in the crowd. We recorded it in the Music Studio at the Gold Base and we are all looking at Peter Schless who is conducting the singing. Schless was a Gold Musician and his prior claim to fame was co writing the Jefferey Osbourne hit song "On the Wings of Love" from the 1980s. Me personally, I had just been put back working for David Miscavige again after a stint of manual labor for disagreeing with my wife being sent to the RPF. I however shortly after this video blew the base for good after 2 attempts. Almost 21 years ago.

Blow - To blow means "to leave without permission" or "to leave before something is completed". One can "blow staff", "blow course", "blow session", or "blow the org". It is a very, very serious offence in Scientology to blow. People who leave without permission in this way are usually declared.

If there’s one thing religion reporters, cult experts and former cult victims know about Scientology is that this cult is better at producing utter nonsense than any other so-called ‘New Religious Movement’ out there.
Unable to get much, if any, serious coverage in legitimate media outlets, Scientologists produce a constant barrage of ‘press releases’ praising the Church of Scientology for its marketing efforts — which more often than not are thinly disguised as ‘humanitarian campaigns,’ ‘disaster relief,’ ‘anti-drugs education,’ and what not.
Meanwhile the ‘Church’ tries hard to convince its members that it is doing exceedingly well, and that they are part of something truly special.
Hence the organization lies to its own members much the same way it lies to the public at large (e.g. by claiming that it is the ‘fastest growing religion of the 20th century’).
The result is spooky to say the least — a fact adequately demonstrated by Tom Cruise in his infamous Scientology video.
Recently another video — apparently meant for internal consumption only — became public. It’s a Scientology sing-along:
What makes this video, produced in 1990, noteworthy is what happened to many of the Scientologists ‘standing tall.’
Apparently many of the famous Scientologists in the video are no longer ‘standing tall’ for the cult.
The publishers of Religion News Blog support freedom of religion, but we also highlight cases where religions — real or not — fail to live up to their own ideals.
