This org, under the wing of the mighty Flag OT Committee, has been going nowhere for years. They somehow managed to buy a building and hey presto, they are now nearly "ideal." Except for at least one very large problem. They have no staff. Their ribbon is supposed to be yanked BEFORE March 13 so Dear Leader Miscavige can proudly trumpet the massive international expansion they evidence at his birthday event. But that's turning out to be quite a problem. According to recent reports, there are TWENTY Sea Org members in the ATL trying to recruit SEVENTY staff so they can at least appear … [Read more...]
The World’s Largest “Ideal Org”
Another bizarre cow pie just landed splat in my inbox.... And as with everything else in scientology, the goalposts area moving target. Today's news may or may not be completely at odds with what was said yesterday, but the sheeple never seem to notice. The last announcement about the world's largest ideal org was that LA Org held that distinction. Guess not. At least not for this week. So, now you know, the "world's largest ideal org on the planet" is Milano. As announced by the redundancy department of redundancy. And then the next oddity -- they're holding one HUGE showing - … [Read more...]
Santa Barbara: The Results Are In
Remember the special seminar that was put on by Kevin Wilson in Santa Barbara to help them learn how to make and save money? Well, the results are in. And they are not pretty. About 20 people showed up... No idea how many of them are staff. Or from other areas than Santa Barbara. Some commenters here may know some of these people. This happy bunch ended up paying over $4500 to "ideality" for the pleasure of attending a seminar on fiscal prudence. But they also broke the big news. Over the next two days they managed to collect a total of $10,000 which means they are "more than … [Read more...]
Another Tampa Ideal Org Milestone
More proof of just how epic the milestone accomplishments are in the shrinking world of scientology. Applying standard admin tech to the letter, 13 years after being declared "ideal" and 10 years on from their first "SH Size" declaration, Tampa has been working on their backlogged CF for months and months. Perhaps a year. It has been heavily promoted and pushed as a top priority for this model org (how it could be "model" when they promote their "squirrel admin" is a question for another day). For some reason there is always a great deal of attention paid to "getting CF in PT" as … [Read more...]
Super Bowl Hype Deflated
The Super Bowl - a wondrous opportunity to soak some more money out of the sheeple. Not only will they be hit up to pay for ads to appear "the greatest dissemination effort in history" - it will be epic, milestone and watershed - they are also hitting everyone up to donate for drug booklets. Those things cost about 20 cents (being VERY generous). If they gave one to EVERY person who attended (68,500 seats) they could accomplish that with $13,700. That isn't even a tiny fraction of the weekly income of the IAS. Not even 10% of the daily income of the IAS. But they are not going to PAY for it … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Find out what it's been like Seriously? It has sucked. No progress on anything since the "ideal CLO" and "ideal SH" and "ideal NN." A special guest speaker from CLO UK! Wow... Going to fly to Edinburgh tomorrow so I don't miss out. Just think how you would have kicked yourself if you had not taken the opportunity to attend what would have been the last David Bowie live performance... Making Human Rights a "reality" Sure... and how is that "movement" coming? What is it with fundraising for Edinburgh? Why does this org get so much more attention and help? You … [Read more...]
Things Are Bleak At Flag
The evidence is all around. Direct observation: drive past the place any time of the day or night and it is like a ghost-town. A lone security guard and PI at the front door of the Ft Harrison hotel. Otherwise no sign of life. The Potemkin Village up Ft. Harrison is even sadder -- 6 storefront with their doors open and a lonely receptionist waiting for the visitor that never comes. Otherwise, one after the other, they are always completely empty but their lights are on and the windows are not covered (like every other building). Sandcastle parking lot half full at best. Parking lot behind … [Read more...]
“Standard Tech” Fair Game
Funny how transparent scientology is. Under the guise of being "standard" and "on source" these clowns stumble and bumble around doing the most incredibly foolish things that invariably blow up in their faces. I recently received two separate emails, both containing the same text, though they concern two different people. Under the guise of conducting an "ethics interrogatory" the emails are intended only to create mistrust and worry about Glenn Samuels and Candy Swanson in the minds of the people that are the recipients of the emails. How can you tell these are not a real … [Read more...]
Irony Alert
This is not a shoop, a spoof or a joke (though SNL or John Oliver would be hard pressed to come up with satire to beat it). If you read this poster and took it to heart -- it would prevent most of the "donations" made by people to scientology. That is OBVIOUSLY not the intention. It's a fundraiser for Santa Barbara "ideal" org. But then again, if you read and follow L. Ron Hubbard policy on finance it would prevent most donations made to scientology. In scientology words do not mean what they say. They mean whatever you are told they mean. So "don't go further into debt" means "don't … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
Because I feel lazy this morning, I am just dumping some Valley OTC minutes without comment so there is a record of them. Remember, this is THE MOST IMPORTANT ideal org in the world.... Have a nice Sunday everyone. Rejoice in the fact that you are no longer stuck in the scientology rat race. And today is football heaven -- NFL and EPL both. MINUTES VALLEY ORG OT COMMITTEE MEETING January 11, 2016 Note: The minutes are for the sole use of Valley OTC members. All members receive a copy. Please do not forward the minutes to anyone else for any reason. ATTENDEES: Kathy Wel … [Read more...]
More IAS Fundraising BS
This guy is assuming his rightful place alongside other notables in the Wacky Hall of Shame. Right up there with David Wilson and Mike Smith. He is taking a quote from the "Pledge to Mankind" that was signed at the "founding" of the IAS and attributing it to Hubbard. What an idiot. That fancy sounding document was written by Lyman Spurlock. Apparently Colin Davie suffers the same delusion so many others do. L. Ron Hubbard had no idea the IAS ever existed. It was created without his knowledge and as far as I know, to his dying day he was unaware of it. Remember, the IAS was not a … [Read more...]

This week is dominated by two orgs on the endless quest to become "ideal" -- Miami and Edinburgh. But plenty of other fun too. Ridiculously amazing Ridiculously: so as to invite mockery or derision; absurdly. Amazing: causing great surprise or wonder How to handle a speeding ticket? Scientology is absolutely certain L.

SuMP Suckers
You sort of have to feel for the people that buy into the SuMP (Scientology Media Productions) pitches, and this woman has obviously jumped in with both feet. Instead of getting her roof fixed, she gives money for SuMP. A completely useless activity that serves no purpose other than as a hook to get money. And she actually believes that "we changed the whole dynamic in South America with WTH". And then the "media is all distorted" so you cannot rely on them to report about this massive success of changing Colombia, they never get it right. So, the ONLY source of "true information" is D … [Read more...]
