The Empire of the Odd

Paul Gackle, Winnipeg Free Press Published: Thursday, August 07, 2008

WINNIPEG — Residents rallied Thursday to protect the family of a young man murdered on a Greyhound bus last week from a posse of radical religious protesters planning to portray Tim McLean’s death as God’s wrath.

Earlier this week, the Westboro Baptist Church - an organization branded as a hate group and infamous for protesting the funerals of slain U.S. soldiers - announced they would picket Mr. McLean’s funeral to let Canadians know that his decapitation was God’s response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and adultery.

But Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of church’s founder, Fred Phelps, said a small group of protesters was stopped at the Canada-U.S. border on Thursday afternoon.

“They won’t let us in, but we have a group that will cross in another spot,” she said. “They’ll have to strip search everyone who crosses that border or they won’t know who we are. They’ll have to see the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) tattoo on our butts.”

This is a duplicate post from http://angelofthynight.blogspot.com/ where the troops are gathering for the upcoming Rickpocalypse. Rick’s chosen to go to war again, he’s sent me some private email suggesting that he really doesn’t want to this time, I haven’t really had the time to sort through the whole damn thing yet (it’s freaking that long and confusing.)

I wanted to clarify one small point however; Rick has been saying publicly that I’m stalking him and all that. He specifically mentions a Cragslist posting that I supposedly harassed him on. It is true that I posted a couple of messages to him. It was on one of his pathos laden “I’m a poor poor ghost buster who’s down on his luck! I’m looking for a chick who can support me and be my fuckbuddy. ” single ads.

I don’t have the original post, Rick; perhaps you can supply it?

Anyway, I did a quick shout to Rick and of course he took it all wrong. This is what I said.

Yo! RICK!!!

How’s it hangen bro? Sorry things aren’t going so well for you in CA. You know! Stuff will pick up. Stay positive and don’t take any wooden shekels.

TTFN!

He responded (if I remember correctly) by mentioning me prominently on one of his podcasts, calling me a stalker and other rot.

I responded thusly;

Sheeze Rick, stalking?

An alert listener gave me your Craiglist posting, that’s all. You should simmer down a little. Anyway, stalking is when a person goes by another\’s house and does things to their… hoses for example. Or goes by their place of business for no reason.

Hate site? The Vanguard News Network is a hate site Rick.

Anyway Rick, no hard feelings; OK? I’m not holding any of that stuff against you, or the other things. However if you keep bringing me up and referring to me in those terms, I can answer if I so desire right? That’s free speech too. I was pretty much ignoring you up until the last few weeks.

So; good luck Rick. I truly hope you find happiness. Drop me a line if you so desire.

OE

That was it! Except he had to bring me up again, this time he claims I was getting queer for him
( ladies out there, is he attractive in some way?….ewwww!)

That was the story, it’s the only reason I’m here.

Otherwise Rick, I would have just watched, but ignored all of this. You wanted me here for some reason.

You pulled this in Rick, I hope you enjoy it!

Drop me a line-anytime, you know the address!

The Illustrious Lord Rick, a buffalo NY, to Florida to Las Vegas transplant has some serious butthurt these days.  The Internet is serious business and no one knows that more than Lord Rick!

OK, so he made a couple of bus forays to into unknown places in Georgia (like Savanna) . Slept on park benches after his bus ride, wandered around old graveyards. Bummed smokes off of people….. We call this vagrancy here in the Odd Empire but Lord Rick calls it an expedition. I don’t know what he found! I don’t want to know to tell you the truth.

Than Lord Rick moved away from sunny Florida to Sin City,he felt Datona Beach was too provincial for him I guess. (Datona is not well thought of anywhere in the Odd Empire.)

So he tried California but found too many panhandlers over there or something, too much competition.  He didn’t do much, some podcasts where he can be heard selling drugs. Not much else. But never let it be said that we forget our hero the Mullet Messiah! He showed up at his in laws in Vegas and he’s back and raring to start yet another blog war, or pod cast war….. Some kind of war!

Yah Lord Rick!

Last night he had an opportunity to cry about his “hate groups” (like this web page.) Particularly upsetting to Lord Rick a page that somone else set up

He go so upset that he decided to make some shit up .

Rick decided that

1) Somebody called his podcast last week and threatened his kids. (Although I have yet to find the podcast, Rick…help please?)

2) He offers some muddy audio as “proof.” Kind of like all those photos of smoke that are proof of ghosts.

3) I, the Odd Emperor is principally  responsible, and anyone who has posted on that hate page,  - about six or seven people.

Eerrrr?

There was a podcast last week?

In Rick’s normal style he spins a paranoid sounding tale about how EVERYONE is after him, even though he’s such a great and wonderful paranormal investigator, and lover and father and superhero and ghostbuster and demon killer and god….. ..blaa…blaa…blaa…! Now he’s going to embarrass people and all that.

Get the popcorn! Lord Rick is on the warpath (again.)

I suppose that I should get really vengeful and post some smack on his butthurt blog , I haven’t as of yet, not very much. I have been working on a compendium of Lord Rick content on the Internet. From the looks of it, that’s going to take me a while !

Work-work-work; that’s all I ever do sometimes!

One afternoon in the spring of 2006, for reasons unknown to those who knew him, Mitchell Henderson, a seventh grader from Rochester, Minn., took a .22-caliber rifle down from a shelf in his parents’ bedroom closet and shot himself in the head. The next morning, Mitchell’s school assembled in the gym to begin mourning. His classmates created a virtual memorial on MySpace and garlanded it with remembrances. One wrote that Mitchell was “an hero to take that shot, to leave us all behind. God do we wish we could take it back. . . . ” Someone e-mailed a clipping of Mitchell’s newspaper obituary to MyDeathSpace.com, a Web site that links to the MySpace pages of the dead. From MyDeathSpace, Mitchell’s page came to the attention of an Internet message board known as /b/ and the “trolls,” as they have come to be called, who dwell there.

/b/ is the designated “random” board of 4chan.org, a group of message boards that draws more than 200 million page views a month. A post consists of an image and a few lines of text. Almost everyone posts as “anonymous.” In effect, this makes /b/ a panopticon in reverse — nobody can see anybody, and everybody can claim to speak from the center. The anonymous denizens of 4chan’s other boards — devoted to travel, fitness and several genres of pornography — refer to the /b/-dwellers as “/b/tards.”

Measured in terms of depravity, insularity and traffic-driven turnover, the culture of /b/ has little precedent. /b/ reads like the inside of a high-school bathroom stall, or an obscene telephone party line, or a blog with no posts and all comments filled with slang that you are too old to understand.

This was Copied from Enturbulation.org by poster “exOT8Michael.” I have no way of knowing if this is accurate other than my own experiences with Scientology members and many-many hours of reading their material. Based on what I’ve seen, this is spot-on and should be carefully read read by anyone who has even a smidgen of sympathy for Scientology and their methods. (hear that Reagan?)

***

I need to repost this as a new thread as it originally got lost in some confusion. There is a message in here which this OG wants to share with Anonymous. This is about the dangers of the content of the NON religion of Scientology. It has nothing to do with beliefs, as Scientology has no “faith” or beliefs, just “Tech”, orders issued by Hubbard and management and “Public Relations” in its money-focused commercial activities.

Thanks.

[If this is tl/dr go get get delicious cake, put longcat on your lap, sit down and read it anyhow. Purrrrrrrrrrr]
Yes you DO need to read this.

I have been seeing a lot of posts on the sites around Anonymous’ valiant efforts about Scientology vs Church of Scientology.

I would like to post this as my take on it from over 33 years of experience with and in Scientology.
My own story is already posted at Michael Pattinson’s Experiences in Scientology, MPES - View from the end of Scientology’s the bridge to total freedom so that is not what this is about.

Scientology is the brainchild of L.Ron Hubbard, former science fiction writer. He formed Scientology back in 1954. He died (living in hiding as “Jack Mitchell” in Creston, California in 1986 under suspicious circumstances and in possession of suitcases full of money (in the millions of dollars). All that is adequately covered in the Google archives under “alt.religion.scientology” newsgroup and its search engine. The San Luis Obispo Coroners report on Hubbard is particularly interesting…

Hubbard’s intention was to “clear the planet”. This is a permanent motto of Scientology and is firmly embedded in the Church (so-called) of Scientology. Clearing the planet means making a 100% Scientology world so that mankind’s mental aberrations stemming from pain and unconsciousness and existing as dead space aliens infesting human bodies (as defined by Hubbard as the “reactive mind”, or the reactive “bank”) could be cleared away.

In the context of the Cold War Hubbard used the highly dangerous world nuclear risk as a prod to use fear about the future to get loyalty, money and staff to do the things he wanted done. He wrote a series of letters defining his strictest, highly enforceable policies and in particular one called “Keeping Scientology Working Series #1″ or “KSW Number 1″ (Tom Cruise was referring to this letter in his now infamous cult-fanatic video rave which sparked off the Anonymous actions against Scientology).

KSW #1 is something like the spinal column of the body of Scientology, except that it is not flexible. It runs through every course, every technical correction, every auditing (counseling) session and every action real Scientologists MUST MUST MUST take to remain within the group. It is the determining policy that is the foundation of every other Scientology policy and technical action.

So, as you can understand this policy would have determined the kind of world that Scientology had every intention of creating. What you probably don’t yet understand is what Earth would be like if Scientology ruled the world. Let me give you an idea of that kind of lifestyle that we were all headed for if Scientology had had its way and taken it all over like an unstoppable virus.

There are 10 main points written about in KSW #1. They are all about Hubbard technology and how flawless it is and how to not let it EVER get diluted, changed, altered in any way, etc under penalty of being ex-communicated (declared a Suppressive Person) and losing one’s entire future for eternity (yes, no kidding). The whole message is that if a Scientologist fails to apply the 10 points of KSW #1 then they will fail Mankind and everyone on the planet will surely die. This is no exaggeration. That is what Scientologists very firmly believe. it is Hubbard gospel and they KNOW he was right about everything.

Ok, so with that in mind all Scientologists are duty bound to apply the 10 points of KSW #1 with their lives and to the death if necessary. They are trained, brainwashed and indoctrinated to be total fanatics about this matter. Tom Cruise showed himself to have fallen into exactly the mindset I am talking about, and I am grateful to him for showing it so graphically and convincingly.

Now, my main difficulty here in writing this for people who have never studied Scientology is to convey the degree of blind fanaticism and unthinking forceful motivation that Hubbard and the Church of Scientology have implanted into Scientologists. It is very deep and firmly embedded to the point of being equivalent to the nazi type of world domination intentions.

In summary, the 10 points have to do with making sure Hubbard’s unique technology is available, never altered, applied exactly as written, made mandatory upon everyone, smashed into the culture by eliminating EVERY OTHER TECHNOLOGY THAT IS NOT HUBBARD’S SCIENTOLOGY TECHNOLOGY (he uses the word hammered out of existence as applied to anyone else’s technology than his own brand). The whole paranoid Scientolgy fight against psychiatry and psychology is an example of what I mean and this is severe enough, but is only the tip of the iceberg at this point in time.

The fanatic mindset of Scientology AND the “Church” of Scientology (both, not just one) MUST take control of every part of society per Hubbard’s orders. Otherwise (they believe) Mankind will destroy itself due to not having Hubbard technology applied EVERYWHERE.
The following may appear to be a huge exaggeration but it is not. Ask other long time ex-members to give it some thought and to comment. I welcome their input.

So, if Scientology ruled the world this is a bit (not all) of what you would get: (please be seated to read this)

NO other books which deal with the mind, the spirit, self-improvement, business administration, ethics, morals or therapy of any kind would be permitted to exist at all. This would include The Bible, The Koran, The Tora, any other religious text of any kind. Sea Org members, all in their spiffy fake navy uniforms would storm-troop the Mosques, Synagogues, Cathedrals etc and burn or shred every other religious text they could get their hands on. It would also include all medical books, prescription drug-related books, manuals and directions.

There would be NO TV, NO internet, NO radio or newspapers and any magazines would only be Scientology magazines. Scientologists are ALREADY forbidden to have these in many places. For them this is already their daily lifestyle.

Freedom of speech would be zero. Only approved Hubbard-compliant talk, writing or communication would be tolerated. It is already like this within the Sea Organization. Any contrary beliefs or thoughts (and you get found out on the e-meter) are subject to severe and forceful “ethics” sanctions, punishments, enslavements and expulsion into the nothingness of excommunication.

Sex would be a crime. Hubbard wrote that sex and pain are the inventions of psychiatry to smash down the spirit of humans. He said sex is a psychiatric weapon against mankind. Being in pain would be a crime as it would mean that you are being influenced by the Hubbard-Scientology arch-enemy psychiatry! You would have to see which of your family members or friends are poisoning you with psychiatric influences and then you would disconnect them from your life and from the Scientology society.

I could go on as there are plenty of further insane idiocies that would be part of your daily lifestyle if EITHER Scientology or the “Church” of Scientology are allowed to spread their “Hubbard Virus” across the world further. The Scientology mindset is a mental VIRUS. It spreads through being trusting while close to a Scientologist and believing KSW #1.

Hopefully this post and other important posts by ex members who know what they are talking about will act as a kind of vaccination.

So, when I see or hear Anonymous and others saying “Well, we are against the Church of Scientology, but Scientology is maybe OK” I feel very strongly that I want to sit down with them, have some delicious cake and explain exactly what I mean till they totally get it about what I have explained above. I suppress my “What the F*** are you thinking??” That is because I know that these wonderful people of Anonymous have never had this explained before. So, here it is. Both Scientology and the Church of Scientology are the same viral carrier.

What we need to do is clear the planet of the Hubbard virus. Anybody agree?

I am the Odd Emperor and I approve of this message!

“To hell with this society. We are building a new one………”L Ron Hubbard “

The controversial church, whose founder called shrinks “terrorists” and which labels mental illness a fraud, is closer than you think to implanting its extreme beliefs in the nation’s laws and schools.

By Katharine Mieszkowski

Jul 1, 2005 | It may be easy to dismiss Tom Cruise’s recent outbursts against psychiatry as the ravings of an egomaniacal celebrity. Comedians have certainly had a field day with Cruise, a fervent disciple of the Church of Scientology, ever since he scolded Brooke Shields for taking prescribed medication to treat her postpartum depression and lectured Matt Lauer, host of the “Today” show, that psychiatry was a “pseudoscience” and antidepressant drugs were worthless because there is “no such thing as a chemical imbalance.” “No?” wisecracked Lewis Black on “The Daily Show,” watching a video clip of Cruise berating Lauer, “Then what do you call what’s happening to you right now?”

But the Church of Scientology’s war on psychiatry is no joke. For decades, Scientologists have maintained that the very notion of mental illness is a fraud. They base this belief on the views of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who proclaimed that psychiatry was an evil enterprise, a form of terrorism, and the cause of crime. Now, they’re attempting to enshrine their contempt for psychiatry in laws across the country.

[[[YIKES!]]]

Two videos have come my way. Like the last few they were dropped on the fine Imperial slate-stone doorstep by persons unknown. Stuffed in a plain manila envelope labeled “For Great Justice!” they apparently come from someone who hangs out in Downtown Clearwater far more than is healthy.

The first one is a puzzling conversation with someone, did he really say “I got paid 100 dollars to protest FOR Scientology?

This one is utterly fake, I know Marcab high command would never send a brief in this form. They are usually very serious…. perhaps I’ve been away too long?

Some quotes from L. Ron Hubbard’s booklet, “The Way to Happiness”:

“6. Set a Good Example”
“9. Don’t Do Anything Illegal”
“13. Do Not Steal”
“19. Try Not to Do Things to Others That You Would Not Like Them to Do to You”
“20. Try to Treat Others as You Would Want Them to Treat You”

And here to demonstrate “The Way to Happiness” are Scientology members “Mutt and Jeff” from Battle Creek MI.

The weak vital signs of free speech has been a hot topic lately.  What is happening outside America is more frightening than what is happening within America.  Mark Steyn in Canada faces legal harassment from “human rights” commissions for impugning, allegedly, Muslims.  Reverend Stephen Boisson, also in our neighbor to the north,  has been ordered to stop expressing his Biblically-based views of homosexuality “in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet.”  Canada has language similar to our Bill of Rights, but Canadian ideologues and bureaucrats ignore any Canadian heritage of free speech.

Bridget Bardot has been fined again this June by French courts for objecting to the way Muslims treat animals.  This was her fifth prosecution for the crime of saying what she believes.  Bardot has been sentenced to prison, with the sentence suspended, for simply stating that Islam is cruel to animals. The state prosecutor has complained that the court needs to impose a harsher sentence on the starlet next time for saying what she believes.
