4 New Ideal Orgs?

January 4, 2023 By Mike Rinder 18 Comments

I included this Facebook message in my post yesterday concerning the fact that Captain Miscavige was at Flag on New Year’s Eve delivering this briefing.

I did not make mention of other significant things she mentioned.

A new IAS status — Patron Diamond Maximus with Honours. What comes next? They’re running out of idiotic titles, every new one they come up with sounds more and more like a Monty Python skit.

Another Super Bowl ad! Woohoo. They have been SOOOO effective. And the sheeple think they are being seen across the nation “A billion people watch the Super Bowl so that means a billion people will hear the good news about scientology.” They don’t understand that they purchase LOCAL ad time in select markets like LA and Tampa where most of the whales are. They also don’t monitor social media to note the INSTANT deluge of negative comments when these air.

Opening 4 ideal orgs in the first quarter…

Another empty promise that will NOT come true (COB’s postulates need a little polishing). Chicago may finally open (really bad weather timing to hold an event in Chicago any time before April). Don’t know what other orgs are even close? Pt Elizabeth? If he would spend the money and not wait for Canada to try and raise it they might be able to get Toronto done. These full FEBC Exec structures are a total pipe dream. They may have rounded up enough people from all over the world for Chicago, but not for any of these other miserable orgs that are still trying to “go ideal.”

Miscavige knows that it doesn’t matter what he promises, the sheeple will forget. He will do one ribbon yanking and that event will become the “big news” talked about at the next event, not the fact that they didn’t get 4 done. And 4 new ideal orgs would still leave them at less than 2 per year as there haven’t been any new buildings completed since Ventura in Feb 2020.

The ideal org program continues to be a dismal failure in every respect other than increasing Miscavige’s statistic of total money in Sea Org Reserves.

    “Miscavige knows that it doesn’t matter what he promises, the sheeple will forget.”

    I always forgot, because these events would just go on and on. While there I would be counting the minutes until I could leave and at the same time worrying about if I could exit without getting hit up for too much money. Consequently anything he said pretty much went in one ear and out the other. I’d be sitting there or doing the standing O thing, clapping with the correct show of enthusiasm expected of all of us. Was I actually listening or caring? No, I was almost always on automatic at events. If we hadn’t been required to periodically stand and clap I would likely have dozed off. But sitting or standing his words, promises all of it for the most part were a blur of noise and visuals which emptied immediately out of my head as soon as it was over. I always had a hard time when some Sea Org member would button hole me with a survey of questions about the event I had just seen. What part of the event had I liked best? What decisions did I make after seeing this event? My stomach would knot up as I gave them my lies. Its knotting up now just recalling those times.

    Hello Mike,

    Several of the most recent editions of your blog have touched on the whereabouts of the captain and the possible impending downfall of this cult.

    I got to thinking there may be an extraordinary opportunity at hand. I’d like to briefly suggest a possible outcome to you and see if people just might have any interest in this proposal.

    The captain may be many things. But he is not particularly dim-witted. It seems pretty clear to me that he knows he is in big trouble here and he knows the end may be in sight one way or another.

    Perhaps Mike Rinder could be interested in suggesting one possible compromise to put an end to this cult.

    I haven’t really thought this out very well. It would obviously take a lot more thought and planning to come up with some kind of compromise that might be acceptable to both sides.

    But the key question is whether Mike Rinder (together with some trusted friends and members or The Aftermath Foundation) might be interested in working out some kind of compromise that would put an end to this cult while restoring many of the past harms.

    Of course, the primary issue might well be the restoration of families that have suffered disconnection. An equally important issue might well be the recovery of much of the money that people have lost or that is still held in accounts somewhere.

    Bottom Line?

    It seems to me there is a real good chance this cult will come crashing down sometime soon and when it does, there will be a whole lot of pain and suffering all the way around.

    But ….

    If Mike Rinder (and some friends) were to lead a negotiated resolution of the end of this cult together with the disbursement of all the money that can be recovered (mostly by selling off real estate), is there any chance that the two sides could come to some kind of agreement that would avoid the captain spending the rest of his life in a penitentiary but would also enable the resolution of families that have been destroyed by disconnection and enable those families to come back together?

    Obviously this will be an extremely painful discussion and will be incredibly difficult to hammer out some kind of workable agreement. But if both sides are willing to consider the consequences of a big crash landing versus a negotiated mediation, might it ever be possible for the two sides to come together and enable family members to get their loved ones back again?

    I know this seems like an almost impossible possibility. But it seems to me that it will be extremely painful no matter how the cult ends. However, a great deal of pain and suffering could be avoided if you all appointed a mediator and worked out some kind of agreement to that many people could recover family members as well as property and money that would otherwise be certain to be lost.

    Is there any possible way this kind of mediation could ever happen?

      Unfortunately, dealing with scientology is not like dealing with a normal organization where consequences, cost/benefit analyses or good sense prevail. The mere thought of “negotiating” with SP’s is anathema to scientology. For them, that would be total capitulation. This is not in the realm of possibility, as sensible as it may sound.

    Awwwww-right. Opening up a new Ideal Org.

    Just imagine all the new up-stats that will soon be forthcoming.
    – Yards of carpet will skyrocket
    – Floorspace per sheep will be impressive
    – Bigger orgs mean they can hold lots more chairs
    – Needing more people to keep the floors clear of dust, dirt and debris can be couched as an uptick in clearing the planet
    – More windows means it can be said, more people are looking into $ci.
    – Late fees on bigger utility bills – “Interest has never been higher”

    The spin will be gloriously ridiculous.

    * with the full exec structure all trained on the FEBC

    Wasn’t there information that each org was supposed to send some number like 11 to Flag? That would be the ‘full exec structure’ apparently, but what happens when they arrive back at orgs with staffing shortages? Lots of managers, who don’t have time to manage because they’re scrambling to cover all the posts (jobs) that don’t have someone assigned.

    Auditors and Case Supervisors and Academy Supervisors are not part of the exec structure, so they either have to be there already or (like some of Chicago’s bragging “look who joined” flyers say) be sent off for training that might takes months, or more than a year.

    I keep hoping that “Another Super Bowl ad!” means we get to see a giant toilet bowl with Dinky Malodorous swirling around and around before diasppearing down past the u-bend into a septic tank.

    I hear the new status is the Rhodium Ripoff Rortius with Offshore Banking.

    “(COB’s postulates need a little polishing)” How can you polish turds that make apple seeds look like coconuts?

    Toronto is a mess but nothing a few dozen RPFers can’t fix (under tight security watch) – imported from different parts of the world. I recall that event in Germany when a building right smack in downtown FRankfurt? was revealed after a year of no one knowing who was taking over that building. That was genius for us “still in” back then. Now that place is probably empty. Hip hip hooray for Captain D.

    The thing about half-truths is that it’s always the wrong half that is being told.

    It is indeed a success for a business to open up 4 “new” (or even renovated) locations–as long as there are customers showing up at these locations. Of course, in the case of renovations, the metric for success would be MORE customers than before to offset the increase in expenses. Similarly, a valid success metric is an advertising campaign–one that more than pays for itself, that is.

    Many a business has been actually brought down by adding too many locations or expanding into real estate at a price their revenue could not support. Or wasting its money on futile advertising. Unfortunately, in this case tax payers–including those who despise this scam–are forced to support this boondoggle. Which is why this misuse of their hard-earned money has to stop!

      Todd, you seem to be expecting actual real-world LOGIC from the bubble’ postulates instead on the magical thinking it really is.
      Other than that, your logic is sound.

      The Little Tin Soldier Shop had two Twin Cities locations. The whole chain was brought down by the bankruptcy of the Denver, CO location.

    Miscavige’s statistic of total money in Sea Org Reserves.
    Total money!? So if he adds one dollar to reserves before Thursday at 2 he is considered an upstat.

    That Stat is a joke.

    Austin’s building has also been done for a couple of years, though we have heard little about them compared to Chicago. I don’t follow the international projects much, but I seem to remember they were working on one in Mexico, and maybe one in Europe – that we also have heard hardly anything about.

    I thought they would have had openings for the remodeled “ideal” facilities last year as part of their campaign about being open for business again. It must say something about how dysfunctional or even paralyzed they are that they can’t use buildings they spent millions on that construction on was finished years ago, while the local orgs are stuck paying big city rents to operate out of ragged old facilities.

      Austin is in a run down strip mall off of Hancock. The sign is a vinyl, sun-bleached tarp. They don’t even get foot traffic because it’s not near anything but a cemetery.

      They added a floor to the big empty expensive building on Guadalupe by UT, and it’s been under tarps and scaffolds for at least 2 years.

        I figure even Austin’s strip mall location just 4 miles from their prime downtown building, has got to be relatively expensive in a hot market. The cheapest listing nearby is $12.00/SF/YR, and if they have the 10,000 SF that seems to be a minimum for an org then it could be running them over $100k per year.

        And I believe I saw that construction on their Guadalupe St. location was finished by around 2 years ago. The signage is always covered over with tarps until the building actually actually has an opening ceremony and the org is then allowed to use it (there and in Chicago they are left waiting for formalities even though it makes no sense), and it may just still have the first floor boarded up from the time of the BLM protests as many orgs did.

          Thanks for the clarifications. Need a few more: if the one on Guadalupe/the Drag has been around since the 80s, why would they have to wait? My assumption is they need photos, hype, and a can of turd polish.

          The one on Hancock looks about the size of an ice cream shop, but maybe they quietly took over adjoining units. I always see college age women standing outside looking bored in 100 degree heat. I can’t imagine the cult sprung for AC.
