Occupy Wall Street — Unsavory Support

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

A blurb on Bloomberg caught my eye this morning. It says: “Anonymous, a group of self-styled hacker-activists behind attacks on corporate and government websites, vowed to support the Occupy Wall Street protests by erasing the New York Stock Exchange ‘from the Internet’ on Oct. 10. The group posted a video message on YouTube declaring war on the world’s largest stock exchange in retaliation for the mass arrests of Wall Street protesters, and posted a link to the video on one...

The Truth about Prescription Drug Abuse

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

A guest editorial in the Daytona News-Journal today states: Our community is now facing a new challenge that is literally tearing at the fabric of our neighborhoods. It is an epidemic we never saw coming, and we were unable to brace for its wrath. Prescription drug abuse is affecting all walks of our society. It is tearing apart our families; it is a major contributor to criminal activity and reaches across all sectors of our community. We must take proactive... Read more

Scientology–An Overview

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

By Nick Broadhurst: I am often asked by tertiary [college or university] religious students who are trying to write an overview on Scientology, what is the most successful way we have of expanding Scientology. What is it that expands our membership? “Just give a quick overview.” The answer to this question is always the same. Scientology expands mostly by word of mouth. Of course we do book promotion campaigns,Internet campaigns, street fliers, letterbox drops, and more. But nothing compares to... Read more

Affinity, Reality and Communication

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

More from Nick Broadhurst: To gain understanding of someone, there are simply three components, no more. These components are called Affinity, Reality and Communication. They can be visualized as the three corners on a triangle. Affinity is liking or even loving something. Reality is what you and another can agree on. Communication is what you use to get ideas across. When you raise one corner of the triangle, the other two corners also come up, raising understanding. Here is an... Read more

On Raising IQ

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

Sharing an article I found by Nick Broadhurst who writes for Helium. I recall that when I was studying at university many years ago that it was stated as a norm that IQ could not be raised. I always wondered why this was such a cast-in-stone truism. I figured that you could make a person stupid, so why could you not reverse that somehow? Later I got involved in Scientology. I quickly found IQ could be reversed and go up.... Read more

Human Rights – What are they?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By gsdouglas

Human Rights Day (Dec 10th) is rapidly approaching. So I thought it appropriate to write something about what Human Rights are so, hopefully, more people will be celebrating that day. These rights are vital to us all. Without them we are not free, there is no justice, we cannot speak our mind, we can be starved, we can be controlled against our will and worse. Yet many people have no idea what Human Rights are. So what are Human Rights?... Read more

Humanitarian Application of L. Ron Hubbard Technology

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb

L. Ron Hubbard’s technologies for drug rehabilitation and detoxification, criminal reform, learning, literacy and his common sense guide to better living—The Way to Happiness—have touched close to a billion lives in some 170 nations. Just one example amongst many is Leeuwkop Prison—the notoriously ruthless maximum-security facility outside Johannesburg, South Africa. Following implementation of Criminon—the rehabilitation program based on L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in the field—cellblock violence was all but eliminated. In acknowledgment of the astonishing impact of Mr. Hubbard’s technology, Leeuwkop inmates presented... Read more
