1. Much love to the person who wrote that. 2. Big thanks to the editor who let that stay in. You both made my day.

The greatest good is the greatest number of dollars in the Scientology coffers. I’m amazed that she hid her personal expenses so well. Scientology takes and takes until the people involved are required to do what Scientology itself refers to as “unusual solutions” to fix problems.

Just like a compulsive gambler, they throw all their money at Scientology, then are forced to steal to support their Scientology habit. It looks like the money she stole went for personal bills while she must have spent her salary on Scientology.

In Scientology “Greatest good……………” is always the operative point of view. It’s ok to do anything including criminal activity if it results in money for the organization. Because members believe that only one group will save this planet. So anything goes, including fraud, defamation, theft, false litigation and gaslighting. Michele Fiore represents Scientology accurately. Thanks Tony for exposing yet another criminal from Hubbard’s most ethical people on the planet.

Once again the 'most ethical people on the planet' show that they aren't that 'ethical'.

What about Brent Jones and his RealWater scam?

Jury Awards $130M to People Sickened After Drinking Bottled Water

The plaintiffs suffered liver damage after consuming water that was recalled in 2021.

At trial, jurors were told that tests found Real Water contained hydrazine, a chemical used in rocket fuel that may have been introduced during treatment before bottling.

'Ethics' has only one meaning in $cientology, what ever benefits $cientology the most is 'ethical'. Unless if law enforcement comes calling. Then it is 'I didn't know gambling was going on here...here's your winnings Captain Renault....'

I have a strong dislike for Politicians, to put it mildly. I haven't voted for years and do not follow the machinations they play into and out of either. Waste of energy.

While there may not be anyone you want to vote in, there are usually some that you might want to vote against. Whack those bastards when necessary.

"Peeling the Onion" YouTube channel recently aired their interview with Ed Berwick, who made a number of simple but important criticisms of Hubbard/Scientology.

One criticism was that positive spiritual beings departed and were driven away from Hubbard, as Hubbard's life went on, so that any positive spiritual being teammates were gone from Hubbard in his end.

I never before considered this angle, to spiritual beings, which Hubbard focused on body-thetans, BTs, the negative influencing spiritual beings that hinder and are hurtful to a person's spiritual life.

Hubbard, I never thought of this ever in all my years wasted in Scientology, but Hubbard didn't speak much that I ever read or gleaned from his lectures, about positive spiritual beings, or guardian angel types of spiritual beings. Only negative body-thetans types of spiritual beings with implanted bad ideas which Xenu implanted into their minds.

Anyways, no guardian angels today, for sure, helping out and fending off crazies from Scientology's help or rescue.

It's like, were I to consider, which I never did, that guardian angel or positive spiritual beings would be attracked to "help" Scientology and help Hubbard, have all given up and departed helping Hubbard/Scientology, and only the body-thetans are winning against the Hubbard "angle" of spiritual help which Scientology might be. (I'm an atheist when it comes to spiritual beings being part of this big battle in our lives though, I'm a Carl Sagan type of view of things, spiritual beings positive or negative I don't see as part of the problem. But it's now finally occurred to me, that in fact, some Scientologists of the older gen of the late 1960s and into the 1970s did themselves consider positive spiritual beings at being present amongst us, and part of the spirit of what "was good in Scientology" of that late 60s and early 70s era of what is considered better in Scientology history.)

Just excellent explaining and updating.

Studying wacky nasty groups, it's one of the side stories, or lessons, noticing the "birds of a feather flock together" nature of some scammy scoundrel extreme personalities feel like Scientology is a fellow bird flock to them.
