The real answer to security is to bring up the level of the populace to a higher level of education and understanding. Broadly, the security anywhere on this planet is closely tied to the level of the individuals who live and work in that Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1144902819654175062006-04-12T21:20:00.000-07:002006-04-12T21:35:46.796-07:00To read an interesting article on the Church of Scientology mission network, check out the sixth link down on this site, called "SMI : Scientology International Missions, an Immutable Model of Technological Missionary Activity" It's fascinating reading from a person with an outside view of the Church of Scientology.Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1144816516349452642006-04-11T21:32:00.000-07:002006-04-11T21:36:28.566-07:00Scientology is bigger news every day; but there has been little attempt in the press to explore what Scientology really is. The press really isn’t trying to educate anybody. They’re interested in “infotainment”. They can sell papers without doing any real research, simply by positioning Scientology as something mysterious. The result of course is that for most people it is mysterious.

Other volunteer organizations have been similarly helpful, including the Salvation Army. But both of these organizations have been eclipsed by the new kid Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1125895259029351002005-09-04T21:33:00.000-07:002005-09-04T21:40:59.036-07:00David (Dave) Miscavige -- Article in the St. Petersburg TimesThis article came out a few years ago but I only ran into it recently. I really admire Mr. David Miscavige. As a Scientologist I am very greatful to him for everything he has done to create a better world and to expand the Scientology religious movement.

He works tirelessly for causes he believes in. He has a wide range of interests and spends a lot of time supporting them.Tom was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid, but found it wasn't true, but was rather an inability to confront written material -- he didn't know how to study. He solved the problem with the study technology of L. Ron Hubbard.

There is a great article in the latest Freedom Magazine about her efforts to eradicate slavery in Los Angeles and the U.S. It is estimated there are 10,000 imported Asian women enslaved in prostitution in Los Angeles alone.When she was a California State Senator (Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1102538436195242902004-12-08T13:37:00.000-08:002004-12-08T12:40:36.196-08:00Check out this page on Palestinian Authority General Secretary Zeinab Habash. In a speech at the opening of the Way To Happiness Foundation building in Glendale, California, Ms. Habash is a beacon of real hope in the frustratingly glacial progress of the peace process in the Middle East. She is also an illustration of something that is often missed in the news, who in their man-bites-dog Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1089753134487941022004-07-13T14:07:00.000-07:002004-07-13T14:12:14.486-07:00Freedom Magazine has a great article about Dr. Sayyid Muhammad Syeed of Kashmir, in India.
Syeed met Mohatma Ghandi when he was 6 years old. A Muslim (as opposed to Ghandi, who was a Hindu) he decided to follow in Ghandi's footsteps. He was incarcerated and tortured for his efforts. He obtained his freedom with the help of Amnesty International. He now leads an American Muslim group that Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868951969652498708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900924.post-1088112639728261802004-06-24T14:27:00.000-07:002004-06-24T14:30:39.726-07:00Now President Bush wants to mandate psychiatric testing for school children?
I'm generally a supporter of Bush, but this takes the cake. What is he thinking? We need more shooters in our schools, more drug users? This is insane.
It has long been a fact that psychiatry would die completely if it were not for government support.

This drug is insane -- irony noted! It should never have been made legal. People kill themselves and others after taking this drug. It turns out the Paxil people hid all kinds of negative tests that showed this could happen. Just a big cover-up. Good for Mr. Spitzer.

I support TWTH Foundation as their efforts are helping to make a safer planet.
If you are ever in the Glendale area, you must check out the new international headquarters on the corner of Maryland and Broadway.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297080803204055938noreply@blogger.com
