Here is the news from last night's Graduation where He once again addressed his adoring fans. Of course, a lot of this could charitably be termed hype -- some is just outright lies. But it was a night of spectacle and verbal fireworks befitting the celebration of Independence Day. Though He announced "every org has their quota of trainees" he is apparently not completely clued in and has been taken off the Hawaii recruitment mailing list. Fasten your seatbelts, and prepare yourselves for this week's ride down the rabbit hole. Sarcastic comments by me in square brackets: - There is a … [Read more...]

Down The Rabbit Hole
This is a glimpse of the distorted, unreal world of illusion where nothing is normal that is the church of Scientology today. As the Mad Hatter has made clear, EVERY org has to have trainees through GAT II before it can be released (and that doesn't seem to be going too well as instead of a GAT II release event there is a special international showing of his 1993 self promotional video, see last post "Miscavige Waving Red Flag") And as he has also stated every Friday, ongoing right now, right here is the largest training program in the history of Scientology: GAT II. 800 trainees are n … [Read more...]
Miscavige Waving A Red Flag
The red flag is flying on Miscavige's eroding sandcastle. This email is a sure "tell" that he is concerned. Concerned about his own PR and concerned about how he has not had a June 6th event and doesn't have a date for the "GAT II" big top extravaganza which is obviously going beyond his announced target of "late July." The natives are getting restless so he figures a good dose of Dear Leader in all his glory will help placate the rumblings of discontent. Miscavige considers this 1993 "War Is Over" event his greatest performance and most significant accomplishment. He has directed it be s … [Read more...]
Tommy Davis and Jessica Feshbach — WTF?
How is it that Tommy Davis and Jessica Feschbach have never stepped out into the sunlight? They left a trail of destruction in their wake and witnessed a lot of things they KNOW hurt people or were just plain wrong. The Tommy/Jessica (Tomica) story is darker than most realize. I wouldn't doubt that if anything keeps David Miscavige up at night it's the thought of Tomica growing a conscience. That's probably right up there with Shelly escaping. Or Heber exposing the abuses he has been subjected to over the last 20 years. A recent article on Tony Ortega’s blog exposed the shore story that ha … [Read more...]
The Hype Is Going Into Hyperdrive!
The PR machine has lifted off, straight up and vertical, in a historic display of amazing adjectives and state-of-the-art hyperbole that is 5 times the level experienced since the Wake Up Call. Then again, and all things previously mentioned pulled together into a cohesive whole, if you thought that was impressive, it was just the launching pad for a planetary assault of verbiage that dwarfs all else that has come before and when I say you cannot imagine the glories of PR puffery that are about to be unleashed I am not talking metaphorically. From: Clive Rabey - D … [Read more...]
I AM
Marty recommended this movie to me which Christie and I just watched. Get it from Netflix or Amazon or anywhere you can. It is more than worth the effort. It is brilliant, thought provoking, uplifting and inspiring. It is not a comedy in spite of the credits of the director. It is a documentary about one man's search for the meaning of life and it touches upon many subjects that are of interest to those who frequent this blog. … [Read more...]
What Scientology Could Be
One of our Special Correspondents sent this in and I felt it worthy of a separate post. I am interested in your comments. I don't agree with some of the sentiments expressed here but I believe it is food for thought and perhaps from the responses we might gain some insight into what is considered valuable, important or unwanted. Fire away! Mike A Vision of What Scientology Could Be... A vital part of evaluating any situation, good or bad, is to envision the Ideal Scene for that activity. How this is done is laid out in detail in Data Series 12, HCO PL 5 July 1979, HOW TO FIND AND … [Read more...]
