This Day In History






May 9 1950
L. Ron Hubbard publishes the first edition of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. This follows on the heels of a feature article in the pulp sci-fi magazine Astounding Science Fiction. A book review in the The New Republic describes the work as "a bold and immodest mixture of complete nonsense and perfectly reasonable common sense, taken from long-acknowledged findings and disguised and distorted by a crazy, newly invented terminology." The subsequent movement goes on to become one of the scariest, most powerful pseudo-religious cults in modern history.






May 9 1979
Northwestern University graduate student John Harris opens a cigar box left sitting on a table in the Technological Institute. The resulting blast only manages to inflict minor lacerations and burns. It is later determined to be the second explosive device fabricated by the Unabomber.







May 9 1980
35 people are killed in Tampa, Florida when the Liberian cargo ship Summit Venture smashes into a supporting pier of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Seven vehicles, including a Greyhound bus, topple into the water 150 feet below.

Save Suri! The Indoctrination Begins

From perez: Our sweet little alien princess is going down the rabbit hole, and there's no going back now!

According to reports, Suri Cruise is set to begin her Scientology training.

Xenu's precious pet is said to be enrolling in the New Village Academy, the Scoentology school started by Will Smith and his wife, Jada Plinko Smith.
The school is staffed by trained Scientologists and lists ‘study technology’ as a key curricular focus.
Can Suri's Catholic maternal grandparents intervene??????
