Justin Bieber in the octagon? Why he couldn’t handle Tom Cruise’s Scientology powers

Yesterday, the dumbest news story in our stupid era broke out and naturally the media fell all over itself covering it. In a Sunday night tweet, Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber, 25, challenged Tom Cruise, 56, to a fight “in the octagon,” and no one really knows why.

 
UFC champ Conor McGregor responded by offering to put on the fight, and to beat the crap out of actor Mark Wahlberg on the undercard.

 
That’s all a lot of fun and silliness, and who knows if these clowns will end up putting on some kind of fake event to please the masses. Because there’s no way Justin Bieber could really get into a ring with Tom Cruise, not with Tom’s Scientology super powers that he’s honed as a member of the organization since 1986.

Let’s go through them.

1. The stare. First of all, like all good Scientologists, Tom Cruise has gone through countless staring exercises lasting literally hundreds of hours over his long Scientology career until he is able to hold his gaze unerringly and intimidate the hell out of a lightweight kid from Ontario.

Why is staring such a big part of Scientology? A good explanation is never given, except that it’s the first of many parlor tricks that founder L. Ron Hubbard put new recruits through to make them more pliable and suggestible. Watch Tom stare long enough, and you begin to realize there’s just nothing going on upstairs.

2. Shattering suppression. Another somewhat introductory experience that all Scientologists go through is the “PTS/SP” course where they learn to “confront and shatter suppression” for about $1,500.

This enables Scientologists to confront and neutralize people the Church of Scientology considers enemies — also known as “suppressive persons” — and Bieber qualifies as an SP at least for the music he puts out, if not for trying to get Tom Cruise into a fistfight.

 
“I just got through that tech, and it’s literally… it’s not how to run from an SP. It’s PTS/SP, how to shatter suppression, confront and shatter suppression. You apply it, and it’s like, boom,” Tom said in his infamous 9-minute video taped in 2004 that was leaked in 2008.

Do you hear that, Justin? “Boom.”

3. Tom is purified. Like all good Scientologists, Cruise has subjected himself to the “Purification Rundown,” cleansing not only his body but also his trillion-years-old inner being, known in Scientology jargon as a “thetan.” This is accomplished through a month-long program or longer, consisting mainly of ungodly amounts of time sitting in a sauna while ingesting toxic amounts of useless vitamins. It’s quack medicine, sure, but it gives Cruise the belief that his body is free of toxins, and could withstand anything thrown by a pipsqueak pop singer.

4. Whole Track conditioning. Tom has been through Operating Thetan Level Two, the most esoteric of all the OT levels (yes, even wilder than the more famous OT 3, featuring Xenu the galactic overlord). It’s on OT 2 that Scientologists learn to grapple with booby-traps laid into their “Whole Track” of existence going back trillions, even thousands of trillions of years ago by evil psychiatrists from the Planet Farsec.

We are not making this up. Some of the “goals problem mass” mental implants that Tom would have had to confront and shatter from his own Whole Track would include the “Big Being” GPM (put into our Whole Tracks 16,780 trillion years ago), the “House” GPM (40,029 trillion), the “Banky” GPM (217 trillion), and the “Forerunner” GPM (222 trillion), just to name a few.

After Tom has confronted and wiped out the mental traps placed in his past by evil psychiatrists across the galaxy, what’s a scrawny kid like Justin going to do to him? Nothing, that’s what.

5. Cause over Matter, Energy, Space, and Time. In the infamous 2004 video (leaked in 2008) that celebrated Tom, the Scientology announcer can be heard to say that the actor has completed OT 7. Any Scientologist who gets that high on the Bridge to Total Freedom would be under a lot of pressure to go ahead and complete the highest auditing level, OT 8, which can only be accomplished on Scientology’s private cruise ship, the Freewinds.

We have not yet seen any evidence that Tom has completed OT 8, but it’s likely. And if he has, that means he is an “Operating Thetan” with “cause over matter, energy, space, and time.” In other words, with a thought he could crush Justin Bieber — and he could do so without even leaving his home. OT 8s famously have the ability to leave their bodies, travel across space and time, and then affect matter with simply a thought.

In a 1963 lecture, Hubbard explained that our OT powers had been stolen away because we’d gotten too powerful — if we’d wanted to, we could literally grab a planet and shake the “meat bodies” off of it, committing genocide with a flick of the wrist.

The purpose of Scientology is to regain those godlike powers and achieve the state of “Operating Thetan.”

Tom Cruise is there. And so you can see that it would simply be folly for Justin Bieber to get into the ring with such a godlike thetan and Big Being.

It would be an awful spectacle. Think of the children.

HowdyCon 2019 in Los Angeles

THURSDAY NIGHT OPPORTUNITY: This year’s HowdyCon is in Los Angeles. People tend to come in starting on Thursday, and that evening we will have a casual get-together at a watering hole. But we also want to point out that Cathy Schenkelberg’s “Squeeze My Cans” will be running at the Hollywood Fringe, and we encourage HowdyCon attendees to see her show on Thursday night, June 20. Tickets and more dates available here.

Friday night June 21 we will be having an event in a theater (like we did on Saturday night last year in Chicago). There will not be a charge to attend this event, but if you want to attend, you need to RSVP with your proprietor at tonyo94 AT gmail.

On Saturday, we are joining forces with Janis Gillham Grady, who is having a reunion in honor of the late Bill Franks. Originally, we thought this event might take place in Riverside, but instead it’s in the Los Angeles area. If you wish to attend the reunion, you will need to RSVP with Janis (janisgrady AT gmail), and there will be a small contribution she’s asking for in order to help cover her costs.

HOTEL: Janis tells us she’s worked out a deal with Hampton Inn and Suites, at 7501 North Glenoaks Blvd, Burbank, (818) 768-1106. We have a $159 nightly rate for June 19 to 22. Note: You need to ask for the “family reunion” special rate.
