My name is Sydney Osborne. I got in Scientology at the Denver Org in 1989 and was on staff as a sup and Director of Training from 1990-2002. I was on Mace-Kingsley Family Center staff (Scn field group) from 2004-2008 starting in Div 2, and later becoming the OES. I've posted on this blog a few times as XclassVStaff. I've known and worked with a lot of wonderful people in Scientology. The Church of Scientology continues to deny practicing disconnection, states there is no pressure from the church, and that it's voluntary on the part of its parishioners. I'd like to share my own recent … [Read more...]

The Truman Show – Playing At An Ideal Org Near You
Here is the news you have all been waiting for.... The final two weeks of results in the WUS "Ideal Org" Truman Show money grab game. First, the results from the penultimate week: There are some of these orgs that are just not with the program. Remember, this is cumulative for the YEAR. Hawaii has collected 0. Albuquerque $100. St Louis $5000. This might get them a shoebox in the middle of the road (in the immortal words of Monty Python in "Four Yorkshiremen"). So, how did they do to wrap up the year, in the sprint to become the "First Ideal Continent"? (Never mind the ONLY new … [Read more...]
I HELP UK Has Flatlined
Oh wow. The naked truth is really tumbling out of the bubble. Here are the I HELP UK stats. According to them, they are the fourth best continental area -- and they include all the field activities in India and Pakistan. This means there are four continental areas of scientology that are less expanding than they are (not sure how that is possible, but they figured it out I guess) This is worse than I could possibly have imagined. The true state of "straight up and vertical" unprecedented international expansion. Remember, the "Ideal Orgs" are supposed to generate "massive field activity" … [Read more...]
Running Scared
Here is the latest (hushmail) message to the Flag OT Committee from Jessica Selva "Flag Service Organization" (don't know what her post is). HOW TO HANDLE BLACK PROPAGANDA 23 March 2014 On Sunday, we will be hosting this important seminar. It will be held in the Fort Harrison Ballroom on the 10th Floor. A thorough drilling will take place at 1:30 to 3:30 PM, led by persons from the Office of Special Affairs There is only one message this sends. We are being bombarded with "entheta" and are trying desperately to "handle." No doubt the first step of this "seminar" by u … [Read more...]
Sydney Ideal Org — No News Is No News
I wonder what Melbourne "Ideal Org" has to say about this? Why is Sydney the "catalyst"? And I guess nobody even mentions Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane or Canberra.... They will NEVER be "ideal" until Miscavige decides to open his checkbook and put his money where his mouth is and buy them buildings because this IS the strategy for planetary clearing. You know, the one that is based on the "why" that orgs are trying to do too little and that just like a session, an org cannot succeed unless it has all the requisite parts in place FIRST. Ten years on and 80% of all the orgs STILL cannot succeed … [Read more...]
The Bubble Is Still Leaking
These are all sent by hushmail, I promise. The first one, from Flag, contains this classic quote: This is still "LRH Birthday Week" through Thursday March 20, so we are still raising funds for the IAS and for Ideal Orgs. Of course, the thing to celebrate LRH's birthday is to give money for the IAS and Ideal Orgs, neither of which LRH ever heard of or contemplated or wrote about anywhere (of course there IS a policy about Ideal Orgs that we have seen plenty of times and the name has been stolen from it, not the concept). Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014From: Flag OT Committee &l … [Read more...]
Tony Muhammad Does Ideal Graduation
LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT. YOU MAY ATTEND EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON COURSE, OR ARE ON COURSE AT ANOTHER ORG. If I had seen this 10 years ago I would have taken it for a joke. This is not an "interfaith meeting". This is GRADUATION where people are supposed to "give wins from all levels of the Bridge". The "western leader" of the Nation of Islam is the "guest speaker" and this is supposed to be good news? If there was a "guest speaker" at "graduation" one would imagine perhaps a Senior C/S or a Senior Course Supervisor or maybe even the President of the … [Read more...]
Happy Anniversary
The first post on this blog went up on 20 March 2013. That day 316 people visited and they read 1881 pages of information - about 5 or 6 pages per visitor. Exactly one year later we have come a long way. When I launched Something Can Be Done About It I put my mission statement at the bottom. It is my intention to do everything I can to: Expose the abuses ongoing in the church, through this blog, other media, law enforcement and elected officials to bring the abuses to an end. Help provide information to anyone looking for the truth about the church. Provide a forum for the exchange … [Read more...]
Where Did Their Brains Go?
This is truly one of the most bizarre emails anyone has ever forwarded me. Perfect evidence for an entry in an encyclopedia under "mindless robots." Ignore the fact it is from WISE, pitching a church event. If anyone ever sues WISE and claims they are part of the church the denials will come thick and fast... Focus on the fact they found people to write "wins" (maybe they are RPFers trying to earn brownie points for graduation?) who rave on about the amazing expansion and how magnificent COB is? Can these people REALLY be this stupid? ...we are actually going to clear this planet for sure … [Read more...]
10,000 Solo NOTs Auditors Not Happening
The increasingly nutball Edy Lundeen asks at the end of this email "so tell me what you think." Edy, I think you need to sit and stare at a rock for a few months until you come back down to earth and stop acting like some sort of crazy bag lady. Do you even vaguely comprehend that when Dear Leader releases one of his "new" services and requires all those who are already on it to now do the "new" one, you don't really have "highest ever." It would be like having 1000 people enter a 1000 seat arena through turnstiles and then telling them all they have to go out and come back in. You then … [Read more...]
