Bio


I am recovering after twenty in years in the militant inner core of the anti-intellectual, coercive, mind bending and maliciously self-serving cult known as Scientology. I'm beginning to enjoy normalcy; beginning to confront the multiple layers of thought control and unravel - thanks to psychological counseling - the years of brainwashing that left me a near suicidal wreck when I finally escaped these people. Life is very beautiful now, I am shortly returning to university to complete my studies in philosophy and sociology. I am an advocate of free thought, and advocate of educative exploits and believe that it is only ignorance that ruins life, and only ignorance allows operations of the ilk of Scientology to successfully prey on the innocent and naive, bleeding them dry and dumping them when they have nothing else to give.

My heroes are John Pilger, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Naom Chomsky
