Things are not looking too good in the Ideal Org race in East US. Even though they are sending out this "promo piece" to their public. 8 Orgs with ZERO points? Detroit, Boston and Miami (who have all PURCHASED expensive white elephants), are not even collecting enough to pay for the plywood to keep the windows and doors boarded up. (Remember, this is a POINTS system -- it's not equivalent to the number of dollars collected, except where the figure is 0. That is nada no matter what system it is). All orgs being ideal is truly an absurd pipe dream. And they don't even seem embarrassed to m … [Read more...]

An Open Letter to David Miscavige
Penned by my good friend Dan Koon, one of the nicest people I know. Dan also possesses a wry and dry sense of humor. He said this is the 10 year anniversary of EPing the Highway 79 Rundown, "one of the best rundowns I ever did. It has given me lasting gains." Hi Dave, It has been 10 years to the day that I pedaled through the mechanical gate at the Kirby Apartments, biked through Hemet and routed myself out of the Sea Organization. Today I am reminded of a line in HCOB 31 Dec 59R, rev. 9 Feb 89, BLOW-OFFS (which, incidentally, I found more easily on the Internet than I could have found i … [Read more...]
Buy Yourself a Heroship
Things are degenerating quickly inside the bubble. How many more "statuses" can they come up with to use to beg for money? I wonder if these people are going to be presented with red tights and cape? They could then really show off their new found hero status.... Scientology is positioning itself as the comic book religion. Though in the UK at least, there are more people that identify their religion as "Jedi" than there are "Scientologist" so they need to get moving with their straight up and vertical expansion. Hello! We have a special, New Years Event Only, st … [Read more...]
Fasten Your Sear Belt
The squirrels are everywhere. And they are us. Ignore if you can the typos and grammar -- what is so remarkable about these pronouncements is how unabashed the bubble dwellers are when they state everything they have been doing up to now has been squirrel. "You MUST do this new course/rundown/procedure/level/status NOW because we have been doing it all wrong for 20 years." "Return your money and make good on the screw ups you paid us for?" "Are you kidding?" "You are disaffected. Only COB can tell us everything he implemented we have been doing is squirrel. Start on Steps A-E -- it is y … [Read more...]
Give Us Money So We Can Deliver The Purif
This is the state of "Ideal Orgs" in the UK. The guy in charge of "Ideal Orgs" is begging for money to set up a Purif in HAPI. Could it really be true that in more than 30 YEARS AFTER the release of the Purif, this org, still in the same building they OWN since 1968 STILL has no sauna? This is straight up and vertical expansion in action. And they are so hard up for donators in the UK they are trying to shame people into "completing before the end of the year" by announcing their partial donation and letting everyone know they will be the next "Humanitarian". Really this is just pat … [Read more...]
What Your IAS Donations Buy — Invisible VMs
It would appear that my posting 4 days ago about the failure of the church to update the information about their massive VM relief force in the Philippines caused a stir in the bowels of the beast. Today the church put out a press release to announce to the world the enormity of their actions (all funded of course by an emergency IAS grant). The photo that accompanied the story is at left. It shows a grand total of SIX VMs, apparently there is some mission in Manila who "activated their Volunteer Ministers" and they were joined by someone(s) from the India "Goodwill Tour." The "story" is … [Read more...]
Why Now Is The Time To Act
One of our Special Correspondents sent this in and I felt it worthy of a post: This article is being written specifically for those of you who are still "in" Scientology, still actively "on lines" or around in the orgs (although, of course, I want everyone to read it). I know there are many of you "still ins" who read this blog, probably many more than any of you actually realize. I have been exactly where you are right now. And I wanted to share some things that helped me get to a much better place across all my dynamics. There come points in everyone's life where they are fo … [Read more...]
An Apt Quote
An old friend sent this to me and I thought it very appropriate, especially as we are trying to get life and the house back in order after last night's Christmas Party. It is an easy posting to put up for some Sunday food for thought: Just came across these two verses (73-74) in Gil Fronsdal’s translation of the Dhammapada. [The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures -- Wikipedia] They struck me as an amazingly apt picture of the Little Emperor [David Miscavige]: Fools will want unwar … [Read more...]
Begging For Staff Christmas Bonuses
This is really quite sad. Apart from exclamation compulsive disorder, this is an IDEAL ORG. One of the big, prominent ones (as opposed to say Cambridge or Malmo or Nashville or LV or Dallas or Padova or Brussels etc etc). It is worth 3 exclamation points that they have 12 scheduled to start GAG II. OMG. Twelve SCHEDULED. I guess they are going to pack out those courserooms built to hold 500 students.... And there are "several people" playing the game to get "5 starts." That is iumpressive. But the really sad part is the begging to please give us money so we can get paid because "he (LRH … [Read more...]
Less Than Enthusiastic Response To GAG II
A report from one of our Bay area Special Correspondents with some perspective on the recent events replayed in the local orgs. Not a lot of detail about the contents of the events, but an interesting overview of the state of these "ideal" orgs and their public. One thing is certain -- I recently listened to an audio recording from one of these events -- the Shermanspeak has reached absolutely mind-numbing levels. Voldemort never utters a simple sentence. Long, run on, convoluted wordplay peppered with "if that wasnt enough" and "not withstanding" and "not to mention" and all manner of … [Read more...]
