Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
Tony Ortega is a former reporter for various independent weekly newspapers around the country, and was the Editor for the Village Voice for 6 years before it collapsed in the BackPage.com sex trafficking scandal. Ortega left the Village Voice before all the indictments came down and began writing about Scientology every day in 2011.
His first article on Scientology was written in 1995 and it expressed his atheistic, materialist view that all religious and spiritual pursuits are illegitimate, and Scientology is especially so.
It is notable, and should be kept in mind while reading him, that Tony Ortega has never written about any aspect of Scientology, or of a Scientologist, in a positive or even neutral way. AlanzosBlog believes his editorial position on Scientology is entirely negative to the detriment of the truth.
These are posts on AlanzosBlog which have to do with Tony Ortega.
Mike Jones, who is not missing and who does not wish to leave the Sea Org, does not want anything to do with his parents, and he has the absolute right not to communicate with them.
I know it’s the height of heresy for me to bring this up. But a little heresy never hurt anyone – especially if you really want to see justice accomplished with Scientology.
Tony’s single hypothesis, which he’s riding like a little hobby horse in a futile attempt to herd Ex-Scientologists thinking (Ex-Scientologists who know more about Scientology than Tony Ortega and Ray Jeffrey ever will) has holes as big as the open range.
…”those who speculated that Rathbun had secretly settled will be feeling justifiably smug today”. – Tony Ortega Underground Bunker posters “8675309” and “Peacemaker” asked some important questions in the Underground Bunker a couple of days … Read more
I have to say that Tony Ortega hit it out of the park this morning. Not only did he publish evidence of probable criminal activity and cover up by members of the Church of Scientology in the Danny Masterson case, but he also produced Dani Lemberger, who said…
It is probably far-fetched to think that the Church’s attorney is lying. But we still need to know how, exactly, he got this email.
A broader perspective, a wider context, and an array of diverse sources of ideas and information are the cures for information disease.
The Underground Bunker rushed to re-capture their self-awarded crowns as the world’s greatest humanitarians today with a post about Ex-Scientologist Justin Rybacki, complete with a GoFundMe page to help him get on his feet after … Read more
Tony Ortega’s Atheist Hate Flag isn’t the only way to see yourself as an Ex-Scientologist. The way he sees you is false and damaging to Ex.
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I can’t count. Or read. But in the pdf file on scribd which Tony Ortega represented as “the full court transcripts”, I count way over 100 pages missing from this document … Read more
Tony Ortega continues to try to discredit and to silence yet another effective critic of Scientology because she will not be controlled by him.
Karen de la Carrier, the former “Queen of Scientology”, tries to suppress criticism of Tony Ortega by deeming it “OSA Program”. Should we all just get in line and do what we’re told now?
Fiona O’Leary is an Irish never-in activist for Autistic children. What brought her to the fight against Scientology are the quack and dangerous remedies for autism that they promote. This is what set her in … Read more
I thought Tony Ortega was a champion protector of women and girls? How could that be if he condones child prostitution and endorses adult prostitution?
Hypocrisy and fanatic cruelty and abuse go hand in hand with tribalistic thinking. Maybe it’s past time more Exes started examining that in their own tribe.
Sheeple. An actual mathematical formula for them. I’m not kidding. I think Carl Sagan wrote about it once: Ask Neil Degrasse Tyson. It describes a fundamental property of all human groups: not just Scientists and … Read more
