IMPACT magazine goes delusional

I still get some cherch publications in the mail - bless their hearts - and I can't resist looking through them for giggles.

Of note this week is the latest IMPACT mag, issue 150, the 31st anniversary commemorative issue.

OMFG what a gilt-edged monument to full color photography and delusional hyperbole. It sounds like the spew Adolph Hitler was putting out about how his Third Reich was winning the war as the Allies were wiping out the Wehrmacht on all fronts.

And the retouched pics of the DwarfenFuhrer show him looking more like Alfred E. Neuman every day. What a hoot and what a rube! The more obsessed he gets with proving his rightness, the more psychotic he appears. The cover shot has him resembling not the Wizard of Oz but the Wizard of Odd.

Lest I wax overly Ad Hominem-istic, let me cut to my main point.

On page 20 of the mag is an article entitled 'Revealing the Enemy Within'. As I looked through the article I came across an horrific figure quoted in the article: that Army veterans are committing suicide at a rate of 22 a day. 22 A DAY. My jaw dropped; WTF I thought! I work in a business that hires vets, a business many of whose customers are active duty and retired vets, in a town whose main economic benefit comes from a huge military base and adjoining defense related research park. I would have heard about this rate of suicide - WE would have heard about this tragic rate of death on a national level if it were true.

In its gaudy, megalomaniacal, self glorifying attempt to make itself relevant, the cherch via this IAS publication has shown that indeed the Hallmark of Dianetics and Scientology is most certainly NOT Integrity. This mag is in the same league as the worst of Yellow Journalism and vile Opportunism.

If all that is presented in this magazine were true, Hell, there wouldn't be much left to do to salvage Earth - the Scilons have done it all.

But it is not all true.

The Truth About 22 Veteran Suicides A Day

A more recent study, which surveyed 1.3 million veterans who were discharged between 2001 and 2007, found that “Between 2001 and 2009, there were 1650 deployed veterans and 7703 non-deployed veteran deaths. Of those, 351 were suicides among deployed veterans and 1517 were suicides among non-deployed veterans. That means over nine years, there was not quite one veteran suicide a day,” according to the Washington Post.

Dear Davey and Crew: If you are as caring as you want to portray, how about volunteering at some vet rehab centers or funneling some of your obscene wealth to Wounded Warriors and similar groups. No? Oh - I get it - Idle Orgs are empty and you are pumping the whales dry - maybe you can get some G.I Bill dollars into the coffers if you work it just right...Ain't that just like Hubbard.
