This is Robert V. Potter the lawyer in Clearwater who is representing Scientology to get the city to just give them a street so they can build their culty entertainment hall for more cult propaganda.

I think these shills should be known for who & what they are. This guy is scum representing scum.

Going live today an hour earlier than usual. Join me for Critical Q&A and let's chat. Ask me anything. I'm usually foolish enough to answer, LOL. www.youtube.com/live/gWhoMDd...

There is no bottom. If you thought this whole thing was about anything other than plain cronyism, you thought wrong.

No plan. No strategy. No long term goals to work for. Just raid the govt bank of as much tax money as you can grab, and laugh as the citizens suffer and the Dems wag their fingers.

Let's be clear: Trump is soft on criminals who will be loyal to him and give him what he wants.

There is nothing, no bar too low, for Trump because he has no principles or morals that invade his thinking beyond his ever-present fixation on being aggrandized. That's all he ever cares about.

I have dared to take a bold step and put forward a model of human behavior which I think makes sense, is easy to understand and may be of some use to you too, especially if you want to understand cultic behavior. Would be curious to hear what you think about it. youtu.be/DOPdEf1TGNM

Americans have not yet woken up to the fact that Congress and the Trump administration do not care at all what anyone thinks or how many people die due to their decisions and actions.

They don't care even a little bit. Our govt is that far gone, totally drunk on their own power.

Evidence-based medicine:

Alternative medicine:

β€œSureβ€”we can treat that with a 99% success rate.”

I say this all the time and there's always someone who pushes back about how they aren't the hero in their version of their life. And I think they're just lying to themselves. It's pretty basic human psychology. And it helps us understand others in important ways.

No doubt. What we need is the rise of real third parties, homegrown and real, not foreign funded psyops. But the cost of entry is very high and both parties will stand directly in the path of anyone trying. And that's one of the main reasons this country is failing so badly right now.

A Message to Those Leaving Scientology
YouTube video by Chris Shelton, MSc A Message to Those Leaving Scientology

I posted this message for people leaving Scientology last night on my channel. If you ever run into someone in this position, perhaps this will be helpful for them. I'm thinking that videos of this nature might be useful for other cults too. What do you think? youtu.be/v2dC-SBaUa0

The Dems haven't learned a goddamn thing. They will continue to shoot themselves in the foot and this country will suffer because of their arrogance and conceit. This is what I mean when I say they are just as responsible for all this as the GOP.

We have now hit the disconnection/shunning stage of Trump's cult of personality. This is where the cult leader starts kicking people out who "were never loyal in the first place" or "turned to the dark side."

I'm so cynical now that every time there's a "software update" for anything on my computer, I wonder what new thing they are adding to screw me over even harder and make my printer or computer not work in some new way.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting so many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

Watching the country be eaten alive by people who can’t tell the difference between satire and news, nor between actual dangers like school shootings or climate change and made up dangers like new outfits or skin colors, feels like having a lobotomy while awake

No, it's so much easier to implement semi-authoritarian censorship and "ban" things because that always works out so well for everyone, right?

Right???

The term 'snake oil' is synonymous with pseudoscientific treatments because of fraudsters like Clark Stanley, who sold snake oil liniment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a cure-all for various health conditions.

It didn't work or contain snake oil.

In the face of unbridled authoritarianism on the Right and the status quo desperation of the Left, I don't get why anyone is still clinging so hard to this artificial idea that we have to sort in this binary, utterly stupid model.

Time to start thinking for ourselves outside these constraints.

I did. Not sure what you thought I missed but I read your whole post. Thanks for your thoughtful response. Just shows me you still don't actually get it. But whatever. Progress is progress.

I wish it wasn’t considered controversial to say that people should not be starved to death. I wish it wasn’t controversial to say that is unacceptable for all of humanity.

Ok, great. You've touched reality now. Well done.

Maybe you can help get centrist Dems and the apathetic voters out there to get off their asses.

I'm a little impatient these days for people who couldn't see what was right in front of their face this entire time. Better late than never, I guess.

This is a part of my post on my YouTube channel tonight.

Somehow, it seems to me the whole thing about cults has never been more relevant than it is now. But unfortunately, people who are in a cult are the last ones to realize that.

I hope we can stop this before it's too late.

Watched the new South Park episode.

Holy fucking shit. I knew it was going to go in hard on Trump but whoa. The cowards who run Paramount must be shaking in their little tiny boots.

Trey and Matt are just awesome. I'm sure more is on the way. Talk about telling it like it really is.

Chef's kiss.
