Scientology's yellow-shirted "volunteer ministers" ...are on the ground in Haiti right now warning the starving, dehydrated populace about psychiatry.
He says, "I have arranged for a plane to take down some volunteer ministers and some supplies and some medics.
"I hope that inspires others as well. It's needed."
Here's how they do it:
* The "Purification Rundown": After 9/11, Scientology set up a clinic in downtown Manhattan where firefighters sat in saunas, worked out, and took niacin and other vitamins, a regime that toxicologists have derided as "quackery."
* "Touch Assists": Scientologists descended on India in the wake of the Tsunami to save lives with "touch assists," which, according to this Washington Post story, consisted of a mechanic from Michigan touching people and saying "feel my finger" over and over.
# "Locational Assists": After traumas, people sometime's forget where they are maybe? To remind earthquake victims that they are still stuck in Haiti, volunteer ministers will be performing this vital medical procedure, quoted here verbatim from the Scientology Handbook:
5. Continue giving the command, directing the person's attention to different objects in the environment. Be sure to acknowledge the person each time after he has complied.
For instance, you say, "Look at that tree." "Thank you." "Look at that building." "Good." "Look at that street." "All right." "Look at that lawn." "Very good." You point each time to the object.
6. Keep this up until the person has good indicators and a cognition. You can end the assist at this point. Tell the person, "End of assist."
# "Nerve Assists": This is basically a back massage, which if performed properly will dislodge the "standing wave" of trauma that is preventing horribly wounded and completely bereft Haitian earthquake victims from leading normal, satisfactory, psych-free lives.

One South Park half-hour episode gave the best “Cliffs Notes” explanation of Scientology. And it was all true.
Just to be clear, the explanation was true, not necessarily Scientology...
I forgot about that in the Bible. Thank you for the reminder.
Exactly! The seaport and airports are already clogged with useful activity and too many politicians and journalists having their pictures taken. Travolta can take his Carbonfootprint 001 and ditch it in the Caribbean for all I care.
As for Scientology, Haitians already have a perfectly good voodoo religion.
I hope you're not serious. Introducing Haitians to the criminal cult of Scientology is not "help".
Rush has sent how much money???? What about Beck??? OReilly? Oh ZERO.
Interesting that you have this direct knowledge of their personal finances. You must be very close to them.
Holy Cow! All that is for real? LOL
Bacon is Good, Ham is Good.
I’d love to see the faces of their desperate people as John describes the “E-Meter” to them.
I beg to differ.
As a good conservative, I have faithfully paid my taxes...which have in turn, been hijacked and given to the United Nations (turns head and spits) and all manner of other do-good crooks, er, uh, rescuers, yeah, that's it, rescuers, who, whilst providing some relief, are damned guilty of lining their own individual pockets first.
Of course, my efforts are eclipsed by that great humanitarian, Barack Hussein Obama, His Great Self, who has ordered up the printing by the US Mint of bazillions of more dollars to air drop to the people of Haiti.
Meanwhile, I am also performing a lot of public service on my own.
For instance, I am sitting here as we speak, so to speak, and agonizing over the decisions our Great President must make in regards to this tragedy.
Damn! I just bit my tongue!
Anyway:
The hollywood folks have definitely stepped up.
Oh, yes.
And isn't it big of them to pledge money that they made off the poor dumb asses that paid to see their stupid movies?
You do know that there are some folks that give quietly, without fanfare, and do so with a definite desire not to be recognized or publicized for their actions, simply because they do it from their heart and not from their "future investment portfolio"?
“What do they call a Quarter Pounder in Port au Prince?”
>>Rush has sent how much money???? What about Beck??? OReilly?<<
Just because they don’t put it up for Kudos doesn’t mean they haven’t given a thing. And if they haven’t, so what? It’s a free country and maybe helping Haiti isn’t their cup of tea.
VooDoo Royal. One thing for sure there won’t be a shortage of cheese.
I guess I am in the wrong religion. When I tell my kids to "pull my finger" my wife yells at me.
“Conservatives have done nothing”
How do you know this? You made the assertion, you back it up!
Waiting for your response.
Really? No conservatives anywhere have done anything to help? How do you know this? Are you omniscient? Do you believe you are God?
