The (lack of) irony deparment... This small collection of Craigslist ads is a study in irony. The people who destroy families and tear relationships apart, who lie with reckless abandon... The Global Reach of Radio How nutty is this. They can produce everything for radio without any "new studios", they have literally dozens of UNUTILIZED studios. If their figures are true -- 95% of the world's population listens to radio, that means about 75% of those people (between China, India, SE Asia and Africa) cannot even afford to buy an overpriced book, let alone a service. … [Read more...]

Another Conversation With A Scientologist
Another in the series where an interested "wog" communicates to a staff member of an "ideal" org, inquiring about a service they offer on the internet. These conversations provide some fascinating insight into the bubble world of scientology.... My snarky comments are in red. --- Subject: communication classes Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 20:25:53 -0600 I got your e-mail from a friend who did this communication course and liked it. Can you tell me more? Xxxx On 12/20/2014 at 9:31 PM Sure, Xxxx, This is a non-profit organization, and we have classes … [Read more...]
Shhh…. Mr. Rabey’s “Surprise Party”
It gets cornier and cornier. A "surprise party" for "Mr. Rabey"... This "caper" is going to be filmed for Maiden Voyage. Woopee. Who in their right mind would miss this opportunity to feed themselves to the reg lions at ASHO so they could be on video for MV and surprise Mr. Rabey? And not only that, this is "from the desk" of Anne Mintz. Such gravitas. Funny how they are promoting this with a "free" meal and a seminar. When a WISE member does one of these money-making seminars they always charge money for it and they don't give a "free" meal. Must be desperate when they are … [Read more...]
Fred Haseney
Declaration of Independence By Fred Haseney January 10, 2015 On January 27, 1986, I attended the event at the Hollywood Palladium, in Los Angeles, California, in which David Miscavige announced the death of L. Ron Hubbard (“LRH”). By the end of the evening's proceedings, I knew that I would never, ever attend another event sponsored by the Church of Scientology. I can't say exactly why, but I knew that as I exited the Palladium's doors that that would be the last Scientology event for me.This "Declaration of Independence" is being prepared in such a way so that the Ethics Officer (“EO”) … [Read more...]
Freewinds — The Top Of The Bridge Is The Bottom
Get a load of this, apparently said with absolutely NO irony.... Dear George, I'm writing to you because I want all New OT VIIIs to be through the Student Hat and Advanced Solo Auditor Course before June 6th, 2015. That's why I want you to arrive on the Freewinds right now. If you're not done with the Student Hat, we can get you through it in checksheet time or less. And in just three weeks more, we can have you through the Advance Solo Auditor Course as well, supervised by your New OT VIII Supervisors. Let me hear back from you on your plans to arrive … [Read more...]
Scientology And The Internet
The biggest problem confronting scientology is the statistic they are using to make their latest pitch for money. 8 new people on the internet every second. Who knows if this is true or not, but the number is really irrelevant. It could be one per second or 800 per second. Not a single one of those 1 or 8 or 800 people will ever find the PR about scientology they attempt to spread on the internet without ALSO finding the truth about scientology, which is far more prevalent. It's the ultimate Catch 22. Scientology is like a bunch of starving villagers in an isolated village. They k … [Read more...]
The IAS Superheroes
It is getting to be an incredible joke what the IAS is willing to claim responsibility for. They are taking on comic book superhero status in the scientology bubble, though they are bloated as a result of not DOING anything meaningful. Though they really do virtually NOTHING other than buy buildings as directed by Miscavige, and invest a bit of money to shoot videos they can use for fundraising, they work overtime to create the impression that they are "responsible" for everything. If there is something done by CCHR -- that is the IAS. Same with Way To Happiness. Drug Education. Youth … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Who can you trust? I would hazard a guess that it's probably not someone that doesn't identify themselves in the ad they place... Creepy This poster just creeps me out. And why is it that LA Org doesn't have anyone other than a "Pre GAT II" Class IV? How demeaning is this... Reserve the date... Rabid Clive will be back in town to brief on the progress towards the target of 10,000 people on, through or declared while auditing Solo NOTs. Should be quite a wild show. What Does It Take? I wonder what "It" … [Read more...]
How To Fake Stats
A Special Correspondent sent this in. I've recently started getting texts from Judy Fagerman, who seems to still be the VM I/C Tampa. Here are a few texts she sent me in the last few weeks. I copied all text exactly. Typos included: Dec 15: "Active VM now this week? 141 assists, 34 books at Winter Wonderland. Miracle wins! ML, Judy :)" Dec 22: "Active VM now this week? Did 220 assists, sold 48 books & got out 1,300 promo at Winter Wonderland! Woo hoo! ML, Judy" An earlier one I found interesting since it allows sign "waiving" to be counted as a VM activity: Oct 27: "Active VM now th … [Read more...]
The Auditor Mag
The latest Auditor mag was sent to me. It is quite a tour de force of oddities and omissions. Here are a few pages of note. Proof positive that there is no longer a Briefing Course. This is the HOME of the Briefing course. And not a single mention of it, let alone a completion.... Also apparent, the ONLY people on auditor training at AOSHUK are outer org staff. The big boom of GAG II rocketing public up the training side of the Bridge is completely omitted (because it doesn't exist -- they cannot even rocket them through the Student Hat Rehash). The Advanced org … [Read more...]
