Ron Hubbard's controversial "Study Tech" and the drug addiction program Narconon

Glosslip Radio returns with a bang. This Sunday, May 25, starting at 9:00pm EDT, Glosslip will be interviewing Scientology expert and long-time critic Professor Dave Touretzky to discuss his intimate knowledge of Scientology found L. Ron Hubbard’s controversial “Study Tech” as discussed in our article on actor Will Smith’s new school, New Village Academy. Professor Touretzky will also discuss another controversial program within Scientology, their drug addition front group Narconon. Both of these subjects are new to Glosslip and we look forward to sharing this information with our listeners.

In the second hour, beginning at 10:00pm EDT, we will be speaking with NYT best-selling author and outspoken critic of the Church of Scientology, writer Mark Ebner. Mark has been writing about Scientology and its cult-like activities for years and will be sharing with us his insight on the CoS and how he himself was a victim of the Church doctrine titled “Fair Game” whereby the CoS systematically goes after its critics to silence them at any costs.

In 1995, Professor David S. Touretzky webbed a court document from a Scientology lawsuit, leading the cult to threaten to sue both him and his university for revealing its copyrighted, trade secret “advanced spiritual techno- logy”. In response, he has been working for the last 13years to expose all of Scientology’s secrets. Dr. Touretzky is Research Professor of Computer Science and co-director of the graduate training program of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
