Antivaxx, anti-mask, and anti-slowtalking OT Scientologist attorney Leigh Dundas put on another amazing performance for the Orange County Board of Supervisors this week, this time agitating against the county re-approving its local health emergency in response to the coronavirus crisis.
And this time, Dundas really provides us with a treat, raving about being kicked out of a supermarket for not wearing a mask.
Here’s what our tipster said about it: “She complains about being thrown out of Sprouts grocery store for not wearing a mask and being attacked by BLM/Antifa, who supposedly put her husband in a headlock. Note the guy in the audience behind her while she spins her tale of woe.”
Yes, the guy in the peanut gallery provides silent commentary in the best tradition of Green Shirt Guy. It’s really fun.
Leigh’s really something, and we have to think David Miscavige is going to want to bring her out for an Ideal Org opening or something.
And in other Covid-related Scientology madness, the orgs are celebrating their re-opening with videos welcoming back Scientologists who are no doubt chomping at the bit to get back to the cans.
In Los Angeles, Scientologist photographer Tim Sabatino threw a 50th birthday party for himself last week, and invited a lot of Scientologists, none of whom were wearing masks or social distancing. Lots of cheek kisses and hugs here.
And for some reason, that was Ken Davitian of “Borat” fame showing off his new platinum beard. Is Ken a Scientologist? We have no idea.
Also among the partygoers was Erik Rodriguez, the swag master who thought about running for Anaheim mayor for a few minutes.
Rodriguez is scheduled to appear at a Recall Newsom event scheduled for August 8 in Ventura. We’re sure it will be a hoot.
Meanwhile, in Chicago…
“If we don’t know how to date accurately, we are soon going to have a case which isn’t producing any tone arm action. Well, there’s the importance of dating. The greatest importance of dating is accuracy. Now, this doesn’t mean accuracy down to the last microsecond. You can still do approximate dating. Of course, it makes my brains creek a little bit when somebody says 10.5 trillion trillion years to me. I can see this enormous span, don’t you see, of the life term of this planet, according to modern science, can be dropped into that date at random! Approximately 10.5 trillion trillion years ago. You could just drop this solar system’s whole history, you see, into that date several times and never miss it! Well, is it 10.51? 10.52? Oh, my God. Do you know what you’ve got there? The difference between 10.51 trillion trillion years ago, and 10.52 trillion trillion years ago? You go figure it out some time, and you see what I mean. That’s a lot of years. Vast panorama. And your brain will go ‘creak’ underneath this sort of thing.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 17, 1963

“I think it is most unlikely that LRH would return despite the never-ending rumors. More likely he will have gone off to sow some seeds elsewhere. He knows, and has pointed out on more that one occasion, that this universe is a universe of plenty and when one is sowing seeds, one doesn’t just sow one. Speculation: There are billions of planets and stars in our galaxy alone, some of which might be more acceptable to such knowledge now that it has been worked out and it would not surprise me if he is elsewhere spreading the word, as it were.”

“When you get to the end of OT 8 he tells you that everything up until then was a BIG WHOOPS. Sorry kids, I had it wrong all along, but now I’m on the right road to total freedom. Wheeeeeeee!”
