If they consider THIS to be the Golden Age of Narconon, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the "Golden Age" moniker... Never in its history has Narconon been confronted with so many lawsuits resulting from deaths and abuses at its facilities. At no time has there been the volume of negative media coverage Narconon boasts today. The reputation of Narconon is at its lowest ever ebb -- so much so that Miscavige has attempted to revive it by opening "model" "celebrity" Narconons that have flashed into the pan and then gone black as fast as their ribbons have been … [Read more...]
AOLA Is Booming!!
Once again, out of the mouths of babes... No wonder the "command team" in PAC was replaced. And interestingly, in this era of unprecedented expansion, the "ideal" AO executives in AOSHUK and AOSHEU have also been "replaced." I guess these "ideal" AO's aren't doing too well. And the proof of it is contained in this message from AOLA. The "ideal" AOLA has a single course room where they deliver Student Hat, PTS/SP, the Basics AND the Solo Course. Back in the day it would have been unthinkable to have anything else delivered in the Solo Course room. Let alone a "basics" and … [Read more...]
SuMP Stories
The lies roll off their tongues so easily. The SuMP (scientology's useless media productions) is the next big thing that is going to absolutely, definitely bring about planetary clearing for reelz. But as with everything like this, the absurd joke of this is also very revealing of the desperation inside the bubble. This poor sap is "ordered" to relay this information. The SuMP is STILL not open, though the opening has been scheduled twice now and canceled. I assume whoever wrote this actually believes the opening of this white elephant is going to drive in masses of people to … [Read more...]
Video Confessions
Regraded Being had another engagement. Will be back next week. Scientology has a sick new tactic right out of the North Korea playbook. You have likely seen videos of POW's "confessing" and denouncing imperialist America. We saw Peter Schless paraded before the cameras calling Ron Miscavige a lousy musician. Now they have taken it to an even lower level. This GMA segment on Ron Miscavige's book contains two bizarre statements from Lori Hodgson's children. (Around 2:55) In typical scientology style they have been coached to "attack the attacker" by claiming it is "more important for … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Promise X3?? More and more cryptic -- they actually think this somehow encourages people to give money? Moneywinds They will do anything to get you there so they can milk you dry once you arrive. "Cheap flights to eternity" has a ring to it... Ideal America... Dream on people. You only have orgs in 10 of the 28 states (including DC and PR)you are responsible for. And only 5 of those have ideal orgs. After 12 years you are less than 20% of the way to having an SINGLE ideal org in every state. You don't even don't even have an ideal org in Chicago, Boston, … [Read more...]
An Evaluation Of Scientology
This was sent to me by someone who wishes to remain anonymous at this time. She is not declared, and has recently been on org lines. I find it interesting to read the observations of someone who has been inside orgs VERY recently. I come to a different conclusion about what must be done, but I agree with many of these observations. I have stated a number of times my belief that all dianetics and scientology materials should be made available online for free and the subject will live or die based purely on its workability and value to mankind). It is somewhat reassuring to know there … [Read more...]
Scientology’s “President”
Though this "PR Newswire release" is in ENGLISH with a title that claims "Church President Describes Basic Beliefs..." if you read the article you will see that the "President" who is doing the describing (apparently in english?) is the "President" of the church of scientology in Madrid, Spain. Once again, it highlights the huge omission of the "President Church of Scientology International". Heber Jentzsch has been disappeared in the great tradition of oppressive dictatorships through history. He is written out of history. There is no explanation for his absence at the most important … [Read more...]
Height of Hypocrisy?
Wonder how Lori Hodgson, Cindy Plahuta, Mary Kahn, Sara Goldberg, Lois Reisdorf and so many others feel about how scientology "honors" mothers. Scientology presents itself as champions of the family. Masters of communication and relationships. They proclaim communication is the "universal solvent." Yet there are repeated examples of scientology tearing families apart. Forbidding communication. And destroying relationships and lives. The control mechanism of disconnection can no longer be brushed under the carpet as the church has tried to do for decades. Pretending it is an "individual … [Read more...]
David Miscavige: The Chosen One?
Is David Miscavige the Chosen One? Miscavige has certainly run a concerted campaign for years to convince everyone L. Ron Hubbard personally selected him to take over after his passing. The scientology.org official hagiography of Miscavige includes to this day this out of context quote about "real scientologists" that has been reinterpreted as if it means David Miscavige. “So forgive me for not managing the Church when it almost fell into hostile hands. It all came out all right. Why? Because real Scientologists made sure it did. My faith was justified.” That real Scientologist L. Ro … [Read more...]
Quotes from Source
Over the years, David Miscavige has gradually been positioning himself as not only the "anointed" one, but as the actual successor to L. Ron Hubbard in every way. He is not only the "Finder of Lost Tech" and the originator of "Command Intention" he is now mandatory to "acknowledge" in all "success stories." If you fail to recognize and thank "COB" it is treated as a bad indicator that you are disaffected or perhaps a plant. They sell the water and whatever else that "COB uses" at Flag like it is the American Dental Association seal of approval on your toothpaste. And now, the final … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Ribbon Cutting Fever... These days they will cut a ribbon for anything - a waterfall? Really? No brains required... Surely if you don't need to pay attention to "file CF" there is something a little more entertaining than this they could be showing. How about "The Master"? "Body Snatchers"? Yes, that’s right! You will be able to see Meg Ryan (and Tom Hanks and Kevin Kline) at Tampa Org CF this Sunday. We’re hosting a DOUBLE FEATURE MATINEE Watch two romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan while working on CF. Our Double Feature Matinee starts with You’ve Got … [Read more...]
More OT IX & X Nonsense
This email, perhaps more clearly than anything I have seen demonstrates the insanity that pervades scientology's endless carrot dangling for "eternal spiritual freedom." When you have finally spent enough time and money to make your way through OT VIII "the first real OT level" -- you are now instructed that in order to continue to long-promised OT IX and X (which do not exist) you will have to start at the VERY bottom and repeat all that over again in order to be eligible to take the next step. The illogic of this is astonishing. The only reason to do the Student Hat, Purif and … [Read more...]
Tampa Ideal Hype
The latest promotional items from Tampa org - this is "ideal hype" because everything Tampa does is "ideal." They are on an all out over the ramparts effort to recruit staff - perhaps because they are losing so many. And then this 6 pager... This tells you everything you need to know. Even the Dir Reg cannot survive on staff pay alone -- she has to have a "Supportive husband who runs a successful, expanding business" (David Tapia runs an Allstate Insurance agency in downtown Clearwater...) This is the first pilot org. The first ideal org. The first ideal SH Size org … [Read more...]
Ruthless/SuMP
Been a few interesting days leading up to Miscavige's birthday bash. Though they apparently sent out decoy messages that the event was canceled (maybe it was and then changed to being back on again which would not be unusual) it seems this was the "gift of expansion" that Dave wanted for his birthday. So he went ahead and yanked his ribbon to commemorate the occasion. Apparently there were dozens of security people surrounding the place yesterday as the faithful awaited the arrival of the Grand Ribbon Yanker. The stage was built and the anticipation was high. I don't have confirmation of … [Read more...]
