L. Ron Hubbard 2.0 gets new attorney, and solves Scientology's biggest problem Tony Ortega

[Ron and Ron 2, from a new Esperianism video]
The last time we checked with the Anderson County, Tennessee court clerk, we were told that there was some issue brewing between Lafayette Ronald Hubbard and his defense attorney, and we should watch the docket.

Sure enough, the court docket indicates that earlier this week, the man we know as Justin Craig, a California ex-con who legally changed his name to L. Ron Hubbard and claims to be the reincarnated Scientology founder who died in 1986, replaced his defense attorney with a public defender and has a new pretrial court date of July 28.

LRH 2.0 started claiming he was reincarnated Ron when he was hanging out with some independent Scientologists in Washington State back in 2018 or so, but since October 2021 he’s been cooling his heels in Anderson County’s jail as he awaits trial on a number of serious charges, including pushing serious drugs and beating up several people, including jail guards. He picked up yet another charge in April of “assault against a first responder.”

And now, after proving again that he’s indigent, Ron 2 has acquired the services of attorney Dillon Zinser, who describes himself as “a proud Knoxville native and Tennessee trial attorney.”



We’re sure he’ll do fine.

Anyway, as LRH 2.0 waits and waits for a trial date, he continues to service his flock. Yes, there really are some independent Scientologists who believe that Justin Craig/LRH is the reincarnated Scientology founder, and who send him money every month as he continues to send them new revelations about what he has referred to variously as “Esperianism” and “Expedited Scientology.”

And now, he has sent out a communication that may beat everything else he’s issued by a country mile.

What is Scientology’s biggest barrier to taking over the planet, after all, than the inability of Clears and OTs to be able to demonstrate the super abilities they are supposed to acquire?

We often hear that Scientologists, when they first achieve something like the state of Clear or some other other step on the Bridge to Total Freedom, feel a rush of awareness and super energy as they feel they can conquer the universe — but then that feeling soon fades, and moving on up the Bridge continues to be a chore.

What’s happening? Why aren’t Scientologist becoming super beings? And might it have something to do with the creation of the universe itself?

Well, take a look at LRH 2.0’s latest pronouncement: Has he finally solved Scientology’s biggest problem?

Seems like Justin became the "reciprocal" of his namesake. A very poor prognosticator of the going on of 850 quintillion years ago. I know what was gong on back then and it was not like he claims.

Ah, yes, before speed bumps, peanut allergies and the designated hitter rule. Simpler times.

Clearly he's onto something. Look how well its manifested in his lifestyle and situation. :-) All that remains is for him to conceive a moonchild. :-)
Isn't it interesting that (as far as I know) he just sidesteps the subject of being locked up for dealing drugs and violent attacks on others, not spinning stories of galactic SP's, BT's or the C of S "committing suppressive acts" against him. His flock is so enthralled as to buy into whatever feelings of euphoria they're feeling and/or projecting in undergoing his "tech". This suggests a very strong degree of internal suppression of cognitive dissonance; I imagine, leapfrogging on their pre-established mental patterns as Scientologists.
 
This suggests a very strong degree of internal suppression of cognitive dissonance;
Maybe some people aren't up to the level where they can even experience cognitive dissonance. On a hypothetical "scale of cognitive dissonance," they would be way below suppressing; they just wouldn't have any.

This is what ChatGPT has to say about it:

ChatGPT:

Cognitive dissonance is a universal human capacity
, but it manifests differently across individuals. Some feel it acutely and seek to resolve it through change or rationalization. Others deflect, deny, or ignore it. And in extreme cases (e.g. deep indoctrination or certain disorders), people might appear immune—but that’s usually because the discomfort is being bypassed, not because they’re incapable of it.


Would you like to see how this relates to cult members or belief systems like Scientology?


Type4:
Yes, how does it relate to cult members and belief systems like Scientology?


🔁 How Cognitive Dissonance Functions in Cultic Systems (like Scientology)
1. Belief vs. Reality Conflict
Members are often told:
"Scientology is the only path to true spiritual freedom."
But then they:
  • Experience emotional abuse, financial exploitation, or absurd demands.
  • Witness leaders violating the group’s own ethics (e.g., David Miscavige’s violence).
  • See that promised gains (like “OT powers”) don’t materialize.
This creates a dissonance:
“This isn’t what spiritual freedom looks like.”
2. How the Mind Reduces the Dissonance
Instead of leaving immediately (which would resolve the dissonance), members often:
  • Rationalize:
    “I must not be applying the tech correctly.”
  • Double down:
    “I need more auditing to handle my case.”
  • Blame self, not the group:
    “My ethics are out.”
  • Deny contrary evidence:
    “Those critics are bitter defrocked apostates.”
  • Isolate from dissenting voices:
    “I can’t talk to SPs (suppressive persons).”
These are all dissonance-reduction mechanisms. The group supplies pre-packaged rationalizations to help members resolve their discomfort without questioning core beliefs.
3. Sunk Cost Fallacy Amplifies Dissonance
The more time, money, and identity someone invests, the harder it is to confront:
“I may have been conned.”
To admit that would cause overwhelming dissonance. So instead, people stay and often increase their commitment to feel consistent with their past choices.
4. Authoritarian Control Limits Dissonance Awareness
In Scientology:
  • Critical thinking is labeled as “natter” or “CI” (counter-intention).
  • Questioning the tech is a punishable offense.
  • Thought-stopping clichés (e.g., “What’s true is what’s true for you”) are used to neutralize discomfort.
This means:
People may feel dissonance, but are trained to avoid recognizing it consciously.
💥 Example: Leaving the Church
Ex-members often describe the moment they allowed themselves to truly feel dissonance as a mental and emotional explosion:
  • “I realized the person I trusted most had lied to me for years.”
  • “I thought I was helping save the planet… but I was just being used.”
For many, it takes years to fully unpack and resolve the cognitive dissonance from their time inside.
🎯 Bottom Line:
Cults like Scientology actively exploit cognitive dissonance to control behavior:
  • They create conflict between belief and experience.
  • They provide justifications to reduce discomfort.
  • They punish or suppress attempts to resolve the dissonance by questioning leadership or leaving.
Understanding this mechanism is essential for helping people recover—or prevent others from falling in.

That guy's got that deer-in-the-headlights appearance that you look for when selecting an attorney. This case is going to light up his resume like a bag of something that you drop in front of somebody's door before you set fire to it, ring the bell and run away. :-)

Off-topic, but I heard you're on the way to Florida.


Dexter threat now higher…looking at Impacts in FL, GA and the Carolina
