This analysis provided by J. Swift. Interesting.... Thanks for all your support :) 1. Scientology.org is down 30.83% in the past one month. There was a seven day blip up 20% coincident with Portland Ideal Org grand opening and the attendant controversy over the photoshopped image. 2. Mike Rinder with a new blog -- and no billion dollar cash bank account -- powers out of Non-E with an 80% + change in one month: 3. Using Alexa to compare Mike Rinder with Miscavige Inc., we see that Rinder's blog is overtaking Miscavige! … [Read more...]

Scientology Mountain View — A Not So Ideal Ideal Org
This is the first in a series of investigations into the status of highly publicized churches and missions. Thanks to Special Correspondent Ronn Stacy who took this shot of the Mountain View "Ideal Org" Test Center today. If you cannot see clearly -- those are "For Lease" signs in the window. Ronn tells us that he doesn't know if they relocated but that would seem odd since this was a prime downtown location they have had for a decade or more. At one time they ran most of Div6 here, OCA testing, basics bookstore, pinch tests, Div6 Crs Room, Book 1 auditing. Mountain View was one of the f … [Read more...]
Church of Scientology — Wack Jobs?
Just a bit of lighthearted amusement among the real news being generated by Corporate Scientology, but it illustrates an important point about the state of Scientology. This email is being sent out by Boston Org with no message, just the subject heading "Freedom Alliance Mystery Magnet." What are they thinking? Not much apparently. Not even a Paypal button like Austin to give them $25,000? But then again, I guess it makes about as much sense as the other garbage that is sent out to convince local org public to give money to other orgs for their "Ideal Buildings" when their own org do … [Read more...]
"Czech Scientologists Getting Madrid Done" Great News???
This is bizarre on so many levels... For anyone who doesnt know, Madrid is like Buffalo. One of the very first "Ideal Orgs" (and a very high priority for Miscavige at the time as Tom Cruise was dating Penelope Cruz and her family were being coaxed into the church -- Penelope's sister is a very well known TV presenter in Spain), they have had a second "Grand Opening" and now they doing their "Non E Campaign" (10 years later). And apparently the "hey-you" isnt just across the US for Portland, Europe was in on it too because they say "after having finished the funding for Portland" we are now … [Read more...]
The IAS — The Black Heart of the Scientology Vulture Culture
The history of the International Association of Scientologists is worth knowing. Its initial value (in 1984) as a repository of funds outside the reach of the IRS in 1984 may be debated. It seemed like a good way of protecting money. The IAS had nothing to do with the “Portland Crusade” though David Miscavige has made it part of his history now. (As a note, the "winning tradition" born in Portland is another sleight of hand -- the losing tradition of a $39 million judgment was born in Portland and then carried on in Los Angeles with another judgment for Wollersheim that was NOT vacated in sp … [Read more...]
Scientology Photoshops Audience for Miscavige Event
When you try to claim that a crowd of 400-500 is actually a crowd of 2,500, Photoshop is your best friend. The Radical Church of Scientology is no stranger to photoshopping audiences and their "man with no head" audience member went viral after the 1999 New Years Event. Scientology Audience Doctored. However with all the attention on the Portland ("Scientology City") opening and the months of pressure to have Scientologists from all over the world fly in to puff up the crowd at the event, apparently the disappointment of unused chairs and low attendance was too much. So when the o … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Paranoia At Fever Pitch In "Scientology City"
See the idiotic lengths Corporate Scientology went to in order to try to prevent Mark Bunker from shooting the ribbon cutting ceremony of the "Ideal Org" in "Scientology City" (known to the rest of the world as Portland Oregon). Tony Ortega has had a running commentary provided by Mark Bunker documenting the events on his blog. One has to ask the question: Why bother? Miscavige jets into Portland to speak, along with some other duped "OLs" to "the public" on THE STREET. Yet he is absolutely paranoid about Mark Bunker accessing a vantage point to film the proceedings. The church p … [Read more...]
IAS Human Rights Claims — Fact Check
Next in the series of efforts to fact check the vague claims of "what your support for the IAS buys". Of interest is that virtually no update of the IAS site has been done since 2007. The same unverifiable generalities are there from when the site was first created. Kudos to Natasha Boris for performing the thankless task of wading through the bs to try to verify any smallest specific that may have slipped into the pages of the IAS website. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Part Two – Human Rights by Natasha Boris From the Human Rights Reference Handbook: “Human rights are ‘commonly under … [Read more...]
Corporate Scientology Taking the World by Storm
Just a bit of light heartedness in preparation for the possible sighting of Heber as Miscavige's dancing bear tomorrow in Portland. If Heber does appear, he will not be talking to anyone unaccompanied and he owes a lot of people on the internet a thankyou for being allowed out of the Hole for a couple of days and getting a soda on the plane. Check out the SPECIAL INVITATION below. All you lucky Austinites can now pay $25,000 via Paypal to the Austin Ideal Org as part of celebrating taking Portland and the World by storm! And best news of all, there is even an LRH quote to support it : … [Read more...]
