Audiobook for Non-US can now be pre-ordered! Finally! The red tape has given way and the audiobook can now be pre-ordered in countries outside the US. Check your Amazon site and it should be available there. I would like to hear from people in the comments in Australia, New Zealand, S. Africa and Ireland if they are able to pre-order on Amazon now (my Amazon defaults to the US site where it has always been available and so far only have confirmation it is on Amazon UK). If not, please try WF Howes Personalized signed editions of A Billion … [Read more...]

It's the name of the game... And that is all it is. They have not seen expansion in ANZO other than in Taiwan in 50 years. Australia and New Zealand are permanently dormant. Wonder how long it took to round these people up? This is probably 10 weeks worth of graduates... How does this qualify them for staff? They've paid to run around a pole.... No LRH Birthday Event again? It's on "L. Ron Hubbard Way"? Not much of a Success Story She finished Grade 0 and she "feels more willing to communicate"? The stated product … [Read more...]
Captain David Miscavige Is Served
Everyone with an interest in this is probably already aware of the fact of the court order issued yesterday in the Baxter/Paris human trafficking lawsuit in Tampa. You can read the full order from Magistrate Judge Julie S. Sneed here: Order declaring Miscavige served I wanted to have this document recorded here at my blog even though this is not new news and Aaron Smith-Levin put it on his YouTube channel and Tony Ortega put it up on his substack yesterday. I have a few comments about this and some excerpts from the ruling that I feel are worthy of note. First, this was a fairly … [Read more...]
LA County Sheriff’s Department Still Shilling for Scientology
I was surprised to see one of the scientology OSA Bots retweet something about the scientology Super Bowl ad from something calling itself MultiFaith CPAC. Anyone who watched the game no doubt saw the Jesus Gets Us ads and this group put the scientology ad into the same category of "religion represented well." It's impossible any organization not influenced ("safepointed") by scientology would put out such a tone-deaf and ridiculous tweet. This is their Twitter home page: As you can see, it is a Council of the LA Sheriff's Department! Scientology has had a long history with … [Read more...]
The Great New Era Webinar and How Scientology Fakes “Good News”
New Era, which seems to have taken on a new role as sort of the "continental org" for Europe trying to sell scientology to new public, held a "Dissemination Webinar" and we were sent some screen shots from an attendee that provide some interesting insights. The lineup was a "who's who" of scientology FSM hucksters. Arte Maren, Rafferty Pendery, Michael Chan, Andrea D'Agostini, Pier Paderni. Here is the "good news" (featuring not recently seen nor heard from Joy Villa) -- with the typically vague "hundreds of thousands of people introduced to … [Read more...]
Ex-Scientologist Support Group Portland
I want to give a plug to my old and dear friend Jefferson Hawkins who has started this group in Portland OR for former scientologists. Jeff has some others working together with him on this, but he is the "name" and I encourage anyone in the Portland area to connect up with them. Head over on February 25 to meet up with some really good people. Perhaps this is something that could be done in other cities too. Sort of an adjunct to The Aftermath Foundation. Thanks Jeff, for this and so much else you have done. You are voice of reason, intelligence and compassion. … [Read more...]
San Francisco Ideal Org Failing – What a Shock!
A recent promotional item from San Francisco tells the real story of this, one of the first "ideal orgs." They are oddly proud of the fact that "just since reopening these services in September" they have completed "40 students and preclears on their next Bridge steps." They are celebrating this as an "outstanding year of Bridge progress." That is 40 completions in 5 MONTHS. 20 WEEKS. That translates into 2 courses or auditing steps a week. TWO. This is not even the level of production expected of a part-time mission. Let alone an org. Let alone an “ideal” org that should have … [Read more...]

Alfraudie is back! Seems like his scandals with the WLC are old enough that he can be associated with again. And Stacy Francis too... Where did they find her? Heavy rains washed away the topsoil and she appeared? This is a "beautiful briefing" All about how they need your money Another one ripped from a different org... Just a BBQ? No regging? Hahahaha Bodhi Elfman in the house... In freefall apparently? Apparently they just think of words that sound cool: "No Limits" is meaningless unless they are … [Read more...]
