Harold's Journal
Editorial Opinion By RWL - 09 May 1991
While we've been content, lately, to let the system work, Goofyology has been milking the media for publicity every chance it gets. This week, they really got their wish... compliments of Time Magazine.
For those of you
who have been unable to locate a copy of the May
6th Time Magazine anywhere in the county, we are reprinting the entire
cover story in today's Herald Journal. Including a page from the International
Edition that didn't appear in the domestic issue.
The Time story, as did the Los Angeles Times series last summer, further confirms everything we have uncovered about the menace of the Rondroids..
Empty news stands all over the county attest to the high interest this story has generated... or the high interest someone has in preventing you from reading it!
Scientology is not an organization we need in our midst, no matter how many TV barmaids they parade before the governor.
It was just another of their desperation dog and pony shows to try to generate a little free publicity and impress folks who don't know any better yet.
Hollywood, long the
neurotic center of the universe, and it's equally strange population of
overpaid shiny people fails to impress most Oklahomans, who tend to laugh
at them instead of with them. There's a big difference; it just doesn't
show up as good in Nielson ratings.
But nothing has changed in the past few months. Narconon is still unlicensed, uncertified, unsavory and unsafe, trying to market their brand of "religion" in a medical package, and hoping the state people won't notice the difference.
And they are still saying one thing and doing another:
Like circulating flyers soliciting new customers among the kids at Tri-State in Enid last weekend. Just a few months ago, they were telling us they had no intention of treating any Oklahomans. (Not that out-of-staters deserve that kind of treatment, either...)
Maybe they really do wake up in a new world every day!
During the last week in April, Dr. John Chelf of Tulsa visited Narconon, and his report to the Mental Health Board is due later this month. Barring more Narconon induced delays, the matter of licensing and certification should come up on their June agenda.
Scientologist like to call their upper level members "OTs" (Operating thetans). These are the wisest most knowledgeable, lucid, rational, sapient individuals in the clut... They claim to have magical "abilities" to make things happen.
So it's perplexing to them when us backwater Okies don't buy their bilgewater.
It's simple: "Livin'
in the real OT (Oklahoma Territory) gives us some "abilities"
of our own. Like the ability to think for ourselves. The average Okie
is more "OT" by accident that Hubbard's Thetan ever was on purpose.
Dr. Chelf's credentials suggest he is an above average Okie
