Capital Hill for Scientology

    I watched this on the news the other day. I was getting a bit annoyed with Lisa Marie because even though much of what she said made sense, she kept hmmmwell kind of zoning in and out as though she was either very tired and sleepy or high. Apparently she and Georges brother have been very busy and staying as close as possible to Washington and that $30.000.000.00 fund set aside for various religions with-in the U.S.

    Personally I think all this is pretty creepy.

    Elvis hated scientologists and wanted nothing to do with them.

    In a strange twist it seems that Scientology eventually got both the Presley name and at least some of Elvis' money, well that is posthumously.

    And what would Elvis say if he could see what is happening now? One old friend quoted within the book "Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations From the Memphis Mafia" says that he would "shit a brick."

    Neil Bush and Lisa Marie Presley work Capital Hill for Scientology

    Presley is the designated celebrity talking head for the "Citizens' Commission on Human Rights" (CCHR) founded by Scientology .

    Presley and Bush appeared before the House Committee on Government Reform to rap the use of Ritalin and other drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

    Presley also took time to interview with People Weekly to promote this effort.

    United Press International reported critically about the President's brother's appearance with Scientologists. Long-time Bush family friend Rev. Moon, founder of the Unification Church , controls UPI. Perhaps the two "cults" are mutually exclusive to the point of a bit of jealousy.

    During the hearings Rep. Constance Morella (R-MD) pointedly exposed the CCHR as little more than a Scientology effort to discredit psychiatry, their perceived nemesis, reports ABC News . Morella quoted the CCHR's international president, who described psychiatry as a "malignant disease" that "threatens society and ultimately mankind."

    L. Ron Hubbard the founder of Scientology taught his disciples that mental health professionals are virtually Satanic. Perhaps this was because of Hubbard's struggle with his own demons. He once requested psychiatric help and was apparently given to both fits of hysterical rage and seemingly pathological lying .

    Whatever the personal reasons were, which may have motivated Hubbard's vitriolic attacks against the mental health profession, one thing seems certain. Since Scientology sells itself as the best way to cure or "clear" the mind, psychiatry, psychiatrists and psychiatric drugs represent a competing alternative to their business. And what better way to shoot down the competition than stage an attack before Congress?

    I tried to join the Scientology cult some years ago, but i blew the interview. Among the questions was one inquiring whether I had ever been on any form of mental health medication, or under the care of a psychiatrist. Naturally i said yes, they werent interested any more after that. Told me basically that I couldnt "cross the bridge". In other words I was damned. There were some other dudes signing up who looked like hippies and marijuana heads.So naturally I inquired why it was okay for them to "cross the bridge" , but not me. The interviewer said drugs like that, speed, marijuana, etc didnt preclude you from salvation. Only Psychiatric drugs.

    If you had flashed a big wad of bills, they might have changed their minds. I took the personality test and read dianetics in the sixties. There is a site by an xscientologist, where the basics of their techniques are set out, along w other juicy stuff. Seems they do have a good point or two.

    I would be assuming that Neil is since Lisa Marie and Priscilla are and it's Neil that got them that far. But I don't know for sure. I heard that he was.

    Seems they do have a good point or two. See the selfclearing files

    I read Dianetics many years ago. It does have away of drawing it's readers in with some logic but that was my first gigantic red flag.

    The Ingram theory does sound very reasonable, but IMO the "becoming clear" of them is preposterous and thats where they get a grip on you thoughts. Mind control. They teach you to let them control your thoughts but do it in away that makes you believe it was all your idea in the first place thus no "danger" in that...wrong

    Anyone with a background in psychiatry, doctor OR patient, would be someone more equipped to see through it and end up being a problem rather then a prospect.

    So you see RF, they were afraid of you .
