Nothing is Happening Repeated showings of "Brief Breath in Eternity Event" -- all have limited seats available (they are showing it in the broom closet). Wonder what their "human rights activities" were on MLK Day? Saving Mankind "a little at a time" -- like REALLY little. Like not measurable. Columbus Org Birthday Not sure what this is about. But you gotta wonder what they have to celebrate? A whole bunch of stranded Sea Org members.... Is Tony Muhammad Invited? Remembering is one thing, he doesn't think the Holocaust was … [Read more...]
Episode 73: Operation Clambake Founder Andreas Heldal-Lund
This week we have a treat -- we talk with the creator of Operation Clambake, and one of the earliest non-scientologists to go head-to-head with scientology in the fledgling days of the internet. We cover how he got involved and why and some of the key things that have happened along the way. If you listened to our recent episode with Tory Christman you will know Andreas played a significant role in Tory escaping scientology. He was also instrumental in the Jason Beghe video that went viral on the internet. Jason Beghe's video on Mark Bunker's site. Operation … [Read more...]
Port Elizabeth Racing to the “Finish Line”
It is happening in Port Elizabeth everyone! After 200 days of renovations they are putting in the drop ceilings. That is "racing".... And this is of course moving Africa ever closer to an "ideal" "continent." The other "coastal orgs" (Durban and Capetown) purchased buildings many, many years ago and have done nothing with them. Harare and Bulawayo remain hopeless and the chance of either of them becomingbideal is slim to none. But that’s not even the biggest joke. Their “continent” will be “ideal” without a single org in 52 of the 54 countries that make up the continent. With a … [Read more...]
LA Org — The “Model” Ideal Org
This is the model ideal org that all orgs are supposed to follow... The one manned entirely by Sea Org members (which is NOT able to be duplicated by Class V orgs anywhere else). This says a lot about the state of this org. They need to ROUND UP and CALL IN people in order to have 30 people in the shots.... They don't have 30 people in the org already? They have to call in actors? What is up with that? … [Read more...]

2022 - It's Going To Be Monumental Like every other year. At the start its always going to be THE year. Coming up on 20 years they have been working on getting orgs ideal. 35 for St Hill Size. Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner Columbus is the third best org in the world? Columbus. OMG. Are they recruiting homeless people? It would not be the first org to have done that... Guadalajara is going ideal... One of the smallest and failingest orgs on earth is now going to go ideal. Sure.... What does this have to do with … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard on God
There are often questions about scientology's belief in God. Do they believe or don't they? Scientology goes to some lengths to make it appear "of course we believe in God, it is the 8th Dynamic in scientology." But what that means is pretty vague. Here is what L. Ron Hubbard says about the 8th Dynamic: THE EIGHTH DYNAMIC -- is the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. It is carefully observed here that the science of Scientology does not intrude into the dynamic of the Supreme Being. This is called the Eighth Dynamic because the symbol of … [Read more...]
Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies
We bring back one of our favorites this week, the wonderful Stefani Hutchison. Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work Stefani has done, investigating the claims made by scientology and their front groups. You can find the stories on her blog, and I am also listing them here. It is pretty conclusive evidence that when scientology claims they are "working with the Red Cross" or had a "partnership with..." or "they handed … [Read more...]
For What It’s Worth
I saw this quote on the wall when we were visiting the Headley family home recently. I think it is very appropriate to a lot of people who were in the bubble, or are still in and may be inspired to step out. Enjoy. … [Read more...]
Saving the World (Clearing the Planet)
Our old friend Brian Lambert is back with some more food for thought... I used to write more frequently for Mike. Those writings were me working out, in myself, the thoughts and doctrines I had accepted into my mind from L Ron Hubbard that were toxic to my mental, emotional and spiritual health. I’ve not written more recently because my previous writings have purged from my mind the subjects that I wrote about. The very idea of the existence of Scientology is gone from my mind 99.99%. No longer is Hubbard and his mad army of diminishing world savers occupying my mind. But this morning … [Read more...]

Phoenix Rising in Albuquerque They should probably pay more attention to the dead phoenix in Phoenix where the ideal org is a morgue. The Chan Man is going to make their postulates stick -- just watch, Phoenix and Albuquerque will be booming soon. Your Defining Moment? Another one of these seminars that every org needs. Funny how they offer up advice to everyone on how to expand, but can't seem to do so themselves.... Again with the advice... If he was so good making his postulates stick don't you think CC would have at least one new major celebrity in the … [Read more...]
Reduce Crime and Homelessness
The big hype about "getting WTH into the hands of everyone in Sunland" is apparently not exactly that. Rather, it is sending out a "promo mailing" to addresses in Sunland. The percentage of people that throw this sort of thing straight into the garbage is very high. I never open 99% of these sort of generic mailings and I am sure I am not in the minority. But for the few who do -- can you imagine the disappointment of finding out that the pitch for reducing homelessness and crime is to buy copies of the Hubbard WTH booklet? Set aside the fact that the booklet is a childish rendition … [Read more...]
Episode 71: Listener Questions #10
We start 2022 with one of our favorites -- a Listener Question episode. As always, we cover a wide scope of topics, from Fair Game campaign tactics to preserving Hubbard's "legacy" on stainless steel plates in titanium capsules in nuclear-bomb-proof vaults and the embarrassing "We Stand Tall" song... It's a lot of fun and hopefully includes new information for our listeners. Here are some of the things we mentioned: The activities of Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) to preserve the tech. Scientology is so proud of this, and treat it with such earnestness they have a fully … [Read more...]
Happy New Year
Enjoying a wonderful New Year with friends... I hope you are too. I believe 2022 is going to be a watershed year in the world of scientology for two main reasons. The pandemic has taken its toll on an organization that relies on keeping people inside an information bubble that needs personal contact and briefings. Emerging from the pandemic, assuming this happens in 2022, when so many have been distanced from the controlling influences of the organization is going to be revelatory. It will expose the truth about the real state of scientology — which is a shell of its former … [Read more...]
