Emily Armstrong, militant Scientologist and the newly named lead singer of Linkin Park, just posted this.
For those of you who have been trying to learn about this, please read this so you can understand how Scientology and Scientologists operate.
For those of you who don’t know me, I have been reporting on Scientology and its abuses for close to a decade. This includes investigating convicted rapist and Scientologist Danny Masterson long before he was charged.
First, I want to note that Emily says nothing here about Scientology. No attempt to distance herself from a ruinous, evil, and criminal organization. Even to lie about it. She is a high-level militant Scientologist who remains closely connected to some of the most powerful Scientologists—people you have never heard of.
Second, she doesn’t apologize to the women who survived Danny Masterson’s predation, women she attempted to intimidate at a court hearing.
Scientology is a totalitarian organization; it holds total command over the lives of Scientologists, whether they’re part of Scientology’s workforce (Sea Org) or civilian Scientologists like Emily.
Every single thing that Scientology and Scientologists do is guided by the thousands of policies written by L. Ron Hubbard when he was alive. When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. This includes everything from how to wash windows to how to run complex operations to undermine and destroy Scientology’s enemies (these enemies include survivors of rape).
Scientologists consider these policies, which can never be changed and must be interpreted literally, to be the laws that govern their lives. They consider these laws to be of more importance than civil laws, the laws that all of us follow every day in the real world. They see our laws as so unimportant they refer to them as “wog law” — wog is a slur that Scientologists use for non-Scientologists.
In Scientology, there is no “orthodox” or “reform” — there is no casual or cafeteria Scientologist. Every Scientologist is an extremist, and every Scientologist is fully in. That’s because L. Ron Hubbard’s policies require total and complete dedication.
Scientologists are required to do whatever it takes to protect Scientology: lie, cheat, steal, everything.
Scientologists will lie to non-Scientologists all day long about what they believe or what they’re involved in because they are required to. They will do this to your face and will even do it if you consider them to be a best friend.
There are two L. Ron Hubbard terms you need to know to understand this Emily situation: “acceptable truth,” which is one of L. Ron Hubbard’s lessons and commands to Scientologists on how to lie, and “the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics,” which basically means the ends justify the means.
Emily getting this position in Linkin Park is seen as a major win in Scientology, where good PR and celebrity are seen as fuel to keep Scientology growing. Emily must do everything she can to protect it. This includes lying about her relationship with Danny, the Masterson family, and completely disappearing everything she has been involved in.
Emily is withholding important information from you, the public, and the fans of Linkin Park, and she is also outright lying.
Please, please remember that all the normal rules of how human beings react to the world get thrown out the window when it comes to Scientologists.
There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, a Scientologist won’t do to protect Scientology.
Getting out of my twitter slumber to say I hate it here. How do you get a r*pist defender to fit Chester's shoes, whose suicide is directly linked to trauma from s*xual ab*se
funny how linkin park’s new lead singer emily armstrong is a known member of the infamous scientology cult and showed up to support danny masterson at his trial in 2022 where he was accused and was later found guilty of two counts of r*pe in 2024
I often randomly think about what Greez said in Jedi Survivor about having kids
"I think having kids is a lot like gambling. If you want to bet, bet big. But if you're not feeling it, there's no shame in walking away from the table"
Paramore at Bonnaroo last night 🧡🩵
I took some of my favorite pictures ever at this set. I'm so glad I had the chance to photograph this one, this was special.
