Hi, give me your money Just wanted to make sure you knew that is what I am here for. Off the crossroads of the world? That's good? I thought you wanted to clear the world? That's the Freewinds line... Though they spend most of their time tied to a dock. Yep, IMpossible You had it right Not really... You haven't reached .001% of these people in all your years of existence. Where will your name be? Perhaps left off the list like so many others who gave and gave and then were declared. No money back. No name on any … [Read more...]
Humanitarian Organization?
Scientology touts itself as a champion of Human Rights. They claim this all over their websites, throughout their CSN TV shows and at the Miscavige propaganda events. In fact, they are so enamored with the concept that they call their most sacred members -- the ones that give the most money -- "humanitarians." L. Ron Hubbard laid out his thoughts on this in a POLICY LETTER OF 3 FEBRUARY 1969 entitled PUBLIC IMAGE: For a long while we have not had an exactly stated policy on building a public image. ... But the time has come to also build a public image as an outflow publicity action. … [Read more...]
Race Against Time
Poor old Bob Anderson. He has been being touted as "your C/S for new OT IX and X" since that great pie in the sky was first announced thirty years ago. Now they don't even call him that any more, he is just the "lead" C/S for OT VIII. That is the most underworked position in scientology. He MAY have one person a week auditing away on OT VIII, but you can be sure there are many weeks where this is nobody at all. It's not enough to keep anyone busy for 10 minutes a day, let alone a "lead" one of them. I wonder what his follower C/Ses do all day. You k now he doesn't have anything to … [Read more...]
Miscavige in Panic Mode
Whenever things get really worrisome in David Miscavige's world he orders everyone to rewatch the 1993 "War Is Over" event. This is his crowning achievement and he wants to remind everyone what an incredible accomplishment it was. He is convinced this is his “greatest performance” and it makes him look good, which tells you a lot. His tiny figure on that massive stage with flaming sconces taken from the castle in Young Frankenstein projects, in his mind, the image of power he craves. In truth, it WAS incredible. It should never have happened. And while it is a bulwark in the defensive wal … [Read more...]
Nation of Islam and Scientology — Getting Weirder
The bizarre relationship between scientology and the Nation of Islam is getting stranger by the day. It would seem that scientology is winning the competition of who's zooming who. NOI members are becoming scientologists, but no scientologists are joining the NOI... Here's another: This is Clear, Super Power Completion, Auditor & Power Field Staff Member Sister Nayyirah Tivica Muhammad. Here she is at Flag graduation... Will scientology ultimately consume the NOI? It is fascinating to watch this marriage made in hell as it unfolds. Miscavige … [Read more...]

Dog Casting Call Pretty weird. Pat Broeker owned Akitas... I wonder if the Broeker Years is coming to ScientologyTV? Another front "Successful Life Center" under the "Clearwater Community Volunteers." Give Money to Santa Barbara/Ventura After 14 years of trying, they can't scrape it together themselves. So everyone else is being told to "chip in." Next it will be the "WUS Windup" and it will be Hawaii and Albuquerque and Kansas City and St. Louis... They got a kid in shorts And wow, that is BIG news. Son of … [Read more...]
St. Louis Follow Up
This information was provided by one of our readers who has familiarity with the situation in St. Louis and is a follow up to the earlier post The Real State of Scientology, St Louis Style. Church of Scientology Missouri owns a building at 6901 Delmar in University City. It is approximately 15,000 sq.ft. on three floors with parking for about 50 cars. They have a mortgage of about $900,000 on that building and have had the mortgage, as far as I know, during the entire decade of bankrupting members for the "Ideal Org" -- the new building they purchased in 2007. I … [Read more...]
Tampa Bay Charity Coalition
Another front group trying to gain acceptance, the “Tampa Bay Charity Coalition" -- somehow they leave out the word scientology from their title. Their Facebook page features one of their events in the Ft Harrison ballroom -- though it looks like they photoshopped the "Flag" logo on the backdrop so it's not readable. This "Film Festival" is a thinly disguised excuse to show their "human rights" infomercials. You can see there is massive interest in this event... You have to wonder what an "Official Selection" means? No doubt they “selected” the infomercials produc … [Read more...]
Spotting a Sociopath
I happened across this 2012 article in Natural News and thought it worth republishing here because of its obvious relevance to scientology, especially David Miscavige (see also my related blog article In Celebration of a Sociopath from 2014): One of the more offensive duties of being an investigative journalist is taking out the trash -- exposing liars, fraudsters, con artists and scammers for the people they truly are. Each time we investigate a sociopath, we find that they always have a little cult group following of spellbound worshippers who consider that particular sociopath t … [Read more...]
Ebony Awakening
This should be fun. Alfraudie is being brought in from his IAS world Regging Tour -- hanging with his NOI buddies and only $500 a head? How exciting could a weekend be. Hard to top this. But don't forget to bring ALL your checkbooks and credit cards. There are a LOT of regges at Flag in addition to Alfraudie. Here is the full line up. The only scientologists they could get were 3 white businessmen. Two NOI people -- one doing Group Processing (that's NOT Dianetics...) and then a non-scientology Minister from LA who is involved in CCHR. I guess scientology … [Read more...]
Exchange…or Scientology: Must Be Contributed To
Terra Cognita is back with another thought provoker... Exchange...or Scientology: Must Be Contributed To L. Ron Hubbard wrote that there were four types of exchange. The lowest and most undesirable of these was criminal exchange in which people take without giving anything in return. A classic example is the thief. The second type is partial exchange, where you order the world's strongest widget and it breaks the first time you try to use it. The third form is equal exchange. I give you a loaf of bread; you give me three dollars. I work at Jabberworks Computers; they pay me a monthly … [Read more...]

Columbus is DOING IT! Not really. Lots of action about Columbus this week. There must be a fundraising mission there... This org seems to have been designated as one to be on the line up for a Miscavige ribbon yanking ceremony and they are trying to squeeze as much money out of the suckers before central reserves foots the bill. It's always an indicator when you see the same old Flag whales giving money... Space for 370 New scientologists They couldn't round up 370 new , OLD or deceased scientologists in Columbus... 168 Students I can almost … [Read more...]
More Words from Ron
Here is some more gibberish from L. Ron Hubbard -- taking a "small bit" from OT VIII to explain that because drugs "threaten the body" a thetan reacts by "mocking up." "Of course," Hubbard says without explaining why it is "of course," he mocks up more reactive mind (why exactly instead of something good?) and thus "under threat" he goes "out of present time." Whatever. This is a lot of assertions about what happens in just a few words... All of accepted as gospel truth though there is nothing cited to explain this. "Ron says" and so it is true. Someone at … [Read more...]
