Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel

A number of people formerly involved in David Miscavige’s international festivals of Shermanspeak and Computer Generated Images have noted that many of the videos showing “accomplishments” are in fact staged by Golden Era and presented as “real”.

Children are rounded up and put into videos of supposed “education programs” that last as long as the cameras are rolling and not a minute longer.  Orgs are “filled” with pcs and students consisting of staff and friends, family and any warm body that can be rounded up to make the HGC and courserooms look busy. Relief efforts are rigged just for the cameras. Ribbon cuttings are staged etc etc etc

The footage is never identified as a “recreation” when it is presented. Instead it is heralded as “proof” of “expansion” and “inroads into society.”

Below is an email sent to me last night by our growing cadre of tipsters and correspondents that gives concrete evidence of the deception. 

Gold is planning on staging a recreation of the great TeenScreen “battle” that occurred 8 years ago.

It would be a very educated guess that this is part of an IAS Medal Winner video that will be shown in October.  There is always one “Anti-Psych” medal winner as this is red meat for the rabid clubbed seals. The IAS event is the biggest night of the year for reveling in the “eradication of psychiatry.”  The psychs have been right on the verge of utter obliteration/global eradication/apathetic abdication each and every year — for more years than the Super Power Building is going to open. I was often the chief hypster at these events until I became persona non grata in 2006. David Miscavige used to say that the crowds love hearing about killing enemies far more than doing good, so pump up the anti-psych stuff and make it over the top because its what will bring in the most money (even though the IAS gave almost NO MONEY for CCHR activities).

But if this IS for an IAS Medal Winner, things are looking VERY thin on the IAS Medal winner front. 8 year old “accomplishments”?  I guess all the magnificent achievements over the last 8 years have not been that exciting if a meeting at the Pinellas County School District is worthy of flying in a Gold Shoot Team to re-enact.
What is TeenScreen?

Because I didn’t even recall what this was I looked at Wikipedia. Here is the summarizing paragraph:

The TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University was an evidence-based, national mental health andsuicide risk screening initiative for middle- and high-school age adolescents. On November 15, 2012, according to its website, the program was terminated. The organization operated as a center in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Columbia University, in New York City. The program was developed at Columbia University in 1999, and launched nationally in 2003. Screening was voluntary and offered through doctors’ offices, schools, clinics, juvenile justice facilities, and other youth-serving organizations and settings. As of August 2011, the program had more than 2,000 active screening sites across 46 states in the United States, and in other countries including Australia, Brazil, India and New Zealand.

 This doesnt sound like something I support — I think there are already too many normal people slapped with abnormal labels in order to justify feeding them drugs.  But that’s not the point. If the great Teenscreen Battle of 2005 is a CCHR “victory” how is it that from 0 in 2003 there are now 2,000 active screening sites across the US today?  That is about 100X the expansion that CCHR has accomplished  over the same time period.  In fact, I would be willing to bet there are LESS CCHR chapters operating today than in 2003, and in any event, no more than 20 in the United States.

This is yet another attempt to gild a turd and palm it off at an event as evidence of the “massive forward progress” in “eradicating psychiatry” because you can bet there will be no mention of the fact there are now 2000 sites in 46 states.

Convenient selection of “facts” with an added spin and choice selection of stats could turn Little Big Horn into a massive victory for Custer in the hands of GrandMasterSpin Miscavige.
