[Today’s guest post is by Valerie Ross] One of the accepted beliefs in Scientology is that founder L. Ron Hubbard knew everything about everything, no exceptions. Honestly, I’m not sure why that was accepted. I don’t call my orthopedic surgeon’s office or my attorney’s office and ask questions about why my eye hurts, I don’t call my attorney to ask him what to do if my foot hurts, I don’t call the water department to fix my TV or furnace nor do I call Dell to fix my iPhone.
" (at least it was a touch tone phone, we weren’t barbarians!)" -- I feel pretty confident in saying there is probably more than one reader who understood the land-line reference and then read this and was like 'huh?'. :)
"And here’s the description of the event on the permit: “This will be a Hollywood production filming of the Grand Opening for the church of Scientology in Chicago.”" -- I wonder if my contacts at the local IATSE are still current...
Tony, it would be really interesting if you could reach out to the relevant unions to get a proper press response if this is how they are framing it. You don't mess with Chicago unions - home to the most Local #1s in the US.
Valerie Ross is a hoot and her description of the 'silent birth' is wonderful. Every mother has a story about the birth of their children and the 'silent birth' is just another way the Clampire has to make its minions have every part of their lives managed by the Tilden Turd. In the end, Valerie and her children are out from under the boot of the Hubster. Having a good life is the best revenge.
Where or where has my little COB gone, oh where or where can he be? "With his bouffant cut short and his apple box cut long, oh where, oh where can he be?? Only Schrodinger knows where the Niblet will be and I don't see a lot of chatter on how many Clams will be attending or where parking has been set up. I wish we could find out what aircraft he is using to get around. It would be fun to know who or what is shuttling him around.
Terrific writing, Valerie!

Loved this, Valerie! Thanks so much.
Amazing Post Val.
Very well written & it gave me shivers.
I was very worried about becoming pregnant while in the Sea Org,Asho F after two rapes at different times while I was in.
I am very grateful I did not get pregnant even though I was put in Treason by the GO for not getting pregnant because of the rapes.
I fled the SO in 1978 after I was in Treason all through the end of 77 & 78. I had no idea why.
Only when I read my fitness board declare that I was the enemy,did my last two yrs in make sense to me.
What you went through is Incredible and you are another heroine of mine.Thank you & 😘
