The Truth Rundown Article Series

karl goes to the sauna

i was reading tonight on karl's website about his love for detox and his recent attendance of the Hubbard Detoxification Program, otherwise known as the Purification Rundown.

quick lesson on the Purification Rundown: also known as the Purif or Hubbard Method, the purification rundown is a detox program designed by mr. hubbard himself involving tons of sauana time, way more vitamins than physically safe, lots of excercise, and a whole bunch of bogus science. the purif takes anywhere from a couple weeks to a month, where the attendee is supposed to take over 300 times the suggested dosage of niacin (this allegedly clears radiation and other toxins), spend up to 5 hours a day in the sauna, and drink some pretty disgusting conconctions of calcium, magnesium, and cider vinegar. just for the record and because common sense doesnt apply to scientology, several people have died from this method, and doctors across the US are pretty adamant about the danger of the practices.

to put it in perspective, even russia, the country that brought us the bulletproof fur hat, has officially denounced its practice anywhere in the country as a threat to the public health.

it costs somewhere around $5000 in 2007, and while that is a lot of money, at least it claims to boost your IQ by 15 points according to the church of scientology's website! genius standing here i come!

karl loren vs. the FDA

karl loren runs a website called bulkmsm.com where he sells methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), also called "organic sulfur". according to karl it is used for thousands of pain relief applications. it is used for alzheimers, carapl tunnel syndrome, diabetes, breast cancer, colon cancer, arthritis, asthma, emphysema, and the list goes on. in fact, the list is so insane and the claims so ridiculous, that the FDA actually sent him a letter in 2002 telling him that these claims were illegal to market without their approval and more importantly, that there was no evidence that MSM could actually do the things karl stated. you can click on the picture above to be taken to the actual document which has an excruciatingly detailed list of karl's claims.

here's a quick recap of battles between karl and govt. organizations i've learned about so far:
Karl vs. the FCC
Karl vs. the FDA
Karl vs. the IRS (i'll post this soon. spoiler alert: karl is a "non-filer")

i'm currently taking bets on which government org he'll go head to head with next: USDA, FAA, DOD, DOT?? who knows karl, who knows..

karl loren: inherently still recruiting for the way to happiness associate program

karl loren has a webpage dealing with the "Way to Happiness Associate Program". the tactics behind the associates program recruitment: "To create a worldwide, grassroots campaign to flood all the societies of Earth with this message of hope and peace, The Way to Happiness book, through an associate program that rewards those who contribute to our vital purpose." your only requirement in the associate program is to bring in 3 new associates each month and buy 36 booklets, "at which point the campaign becomes self-financing, self-perpetuating -- and ever expanding."after the campaign description, he goes on to explain that "We will create a huge flood of booklets into all the societies of the world -- a regular flow of booklets that keeps growing exponentially larger each and every month. With only 10,000 associates there will be 4.3 million booklets distributed every year. With 100,000 associates there will be 43,000,000 booklets distributed every year.

if every person signed up 3 associates each month, the total associates each month would equal 4^n where n is the month (starting from month 0 to month n). that means that if this plan were seriously to be executed, everyone in the whole wide world would be in the associates program in just over 1 year (16 months).

my quesiton is, if everyone is in the associate's program in just over 1 year, is the associates program disbanded? it's only point is to recruit people to the program, and if there is no-one left to recruit to the program, what will the associates program's purpose be? those people who get recruited at the beginning of the 16th month are so stoked that they dont have to recruit anyone. too bad that's not karl's case (because his webpage exists stating he is in the program and i'm not in the program yet ....)...keep it up karl! at worst, you only got 15 more months left of it!

more importantly, 36 booklets cost $54 according to twth.org. at the end of the 15th month, this means that $640 million dollars will have been spent on booklets. someone is going to be ridiculously rich.

Troescher Typing Service

Troescher Typing Services Storefront on Google Maps

today i found out that our friend karl loren (real name loren troescher) might have a son named loren troescher jr. who owns/owned (not sure if he still does) a typing service in LA called Troescher Typing Service. here are some things you should know about Troescher Typing Service...

1) why do i think karl loren's son owns the business?
karl loren said he was 77 on one of his webpages...that means he was born in the 30s. he talks about his 6 kids as well. the linkedin profile for Troescher Typing Service says that the owner went to high school in the 70s which would make sense chronologically. also, the owner is Loren Troescher Jr.

2) Troescher Typing Service has been around since 1985 and up until at least 2007. i found a listing for the service in 1999 in the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (which is a directory so scientologists can support other scientologists, it promotes a "an ethical, sane and prosperous civilization"...zOMG). in 2007 i found a filing by the FCC in a suit against Troescher Typing Service for "apparently willfully or repeatedly violated section 227 of the Communications Act of 1934," which further reading shows that Troescher faxed unsolicited advertisements (at least two of them). Not to take sides, but 2 advertisements seems undeserving of FCC action...come on guys, give Troescher Typing Services a break. Someones gotta make them moneyz for yo baby mama. As the FCC complains...

"We find that Troescher apparently violated section 227 of the Act and the Commission's related rules and orders by using a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send at least two unsolicited advertisements to the two consumers identified in the Appendix."

3) Troescher Typing Service is in LA (straight west coastin')! Woopty WooT! You can find them here (according to many local directory listings):

the world through karls' eyes: scientology test

i decided, what better way to learn who karl loren is than to see the world through karl's own eyes: so i am starting a subsection called "the world through karls' eyes" where i will try and do things karl has done in order to become more in tune with his thought process and lifestyle. today i'm beginning with a personal crash course on scientology.

the first step in scientology is your personality test, which they call the Oxford Capacity Analysis. you take this test online or at the church then have it reviewed by a scientists who reads your chart and tells you how you've failed. you can then pay them money to help you begin your journey to salvation. 200 questions later, i've got an unintelligible table of data (shown above, you can use my chart if you want to go hang out with an auditor at a local scientology church and see how nuts this stuff is!) I need to take to the scientology church of boston. guess i'll be headed there soon to see the world again, through karls' eyes...

karl's scientology standing

....was reading up on karl loren's active involvment in scientology. turns out karl's real name is loren c. troescher. he is a scientologist...so googled and found a database about scientologists and their documented levels. someone did some amazing web scraping to compile this database called TABS (truth about scientology)...turns out karl is kicking ass at being a scientologist. he cleared Grade IV and made it all the way to Hubbard Life Orientation course! way to go karl!

hubbard life orientation course is a crazy crazy course. by this point karl had ostensibly paid (according to 2006 Cost of Scientology numbers (this was in 1997 for karl) ) some serious dough. the first stage is the purification rundown which costs $2500 alone, then getting from grade 0 to 4 costs $61,600, another $22,400 for life rundown and others, and finally the Hubbard Life Orientatino Course is $31,500. so, according to this data from TABS, karl is in the hole $118,000 for scientology courses! good investing strategy karl!

by the way...the hubbard life orientation course is AMAZING, here is an account from an old scientology member about the course:

"This course breaks down the entire semantic and thought structure of an individual. In the processing part, in the beginning, they are made to do "clay demonstrations" which reduce them to a child-liked state. They then have to re-learn each and every small common word, after which, grammar is re-programmed into them, according to El Con's definitions. The course takes a very long time, and they use Method 9 to indoctrinate the pcs. Method 9 entails reading each and every page aloud, and stopping each time the person stumbles, to look for and clear the misunderstood wood. The course is done with a "twin", or partner. The person's entire thought process is taken away from them, and then re-built into what Hubbard thought it should be.

An exam is taken at the end of the grammar section. Anything less than 95% means that both twins have to go back and re-do the whole lot. Nothing other than total "duplication" is accepted. Then, there is the last clay table auditing process, where a person has to do certain things until they have realised that they can "get" (receive) any concept. They can therefore "duplicate".

The fact that they are now wide open to suggestions, wide open to implanting, the fact that they have lost their *entire* original thought process, and all the semantic structures that are their own have been irretrievably removed, makes them candidates for accepting" any piece of data."

sugar = mass murder (to karl loren)

karl loren believes that sugar is one of the most addictive drugs and that the American Diabetes Association is guilty of mass murder. well, one google search later and some maybe more "scientific" research from UPenn pretty much refutes that sugar is physically addictive...to his defense karl does have a sketchy abstract by a nancy appleton from 1999 whos website does not work, BUT was found on mentalstrength.com with a nutrition cd you can buy from her...oh. and nowhere does she mention addiction to sugar. karl is good at selling information (debatable at best).

The plot thickens...

Karl Loren's last 5 amazon.com product reviews:

1) Smead Viewables Labeling System
2) Panasonic 2-Line 5.8 GHz Cordless phone system
3) California Civil Litigation (Study Guide) (He wanted to represent himself in a court case without a lawyer because he was suing someone. Karl won! Way to go Karl!)
4) "Is This Your Child" book by Doris Rapp (all about allergies to substances)
5) A defective Microlife Premium Blood Pressure Monitor

a name to a face...
