It's time to expand this channel beyond what has been its main focus up to now: Scientology. While this will remain a key topic of discussion and video work here, the fact is that the same methods and techniques of cult indoctrination that are used by L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige are rife throughout numerous subjects and areas beyond just religious cults. These pose a much more serious threat to a vastly larger number of people and this is going to be a topic of future discussion here in my videos and on the Sensibly Speaking Podcast. This does not mean that Scientology will no longer be a focus of attention or that I have nothing left to say on that subject. Quite the opposite. I'm simply talking about an expansion of scope about intolerance, extremism and solutions that we can engage in to solve these issues.
