Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) has reached a monumental, epic milestone of ideal fail. For some reason they purchased a property in Sweetwater County Wyoming -- presumably to build yet another vault (probably a better idea than in the earthquake zones of Southern and Northern California). Why they need another one in the US when they already have 3 of them is a mystery. I guess the rest of the world doesn't deserve to be saved when the big meltdown occurs? Or there will only be survivors in the western half of the US? Or something.... In any event, they bought this property but it … [Read more...]
Moscow Ruling
The details are skimpy so far, but the essence of it seems to be that a Moscow City Court has ordered the church of scientology in Moscow to close up shop within 6 months for being in violation of business laws. They seem to conclude that scientology must be a business because the name (and other things) are trademarked. Tony Ortega has a pretty concise summary at his blog. This order will of course be appealed by scientology. And the last time the government in Moscow refused to register the church it eventually made its way to the European Court of Human Rights which sided with … [Read more...]
The Running Around In Circles Program
The statements in the email below really tell you everything you need to know about the delusion inside the bubble. And what cognitive dissonance people will accept without apparently feeling the pain. Remember, this "Cause Resurgence Rundown" literally consists of running in circles. Ideally it would NOT be done in a body according to L. Ron Hubbard -- the physical exercise forms no part of this "rundown." Thus, it is why I have mad ea firm decision that if I ever decide to do it again I will opt for either driving a golf cart around in circles or take a seat on a carousel. But put … [Read more...]
What Is The Ideal Org Program?
Any time there is a post about ideal org failures, there is a lot of speculation about "Why?" I have written various posts and comments about this from time to time, but realized I had never put it all in one place. There are two reasons for the ideal org program that go hand in hand. And it explains why, in spite of the clear failure of this program to bring about planetary clearing, or anything at all aligned with the "Aims of Scientology," it will continue to be pushed until the very end. 1. It is vital for Miscavige to hold onto his position 2. IRS … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes — Groundhog Week?
Because they document the true state of scientology, which is pretty boring and hopeless -- here are some recent minutes from the Valley "OT" Committee. Remember, Valley is, according to them "the most important ideal org on earth" right there in the center of the "greatest concentration of scientologists on earth" with their "very own OT Warrior Princess, Honorary Governor of the Vast Valley Territories: NC herself!" led by "OT's at cause" and yet they seem incapable of accomplishing ANYTHING. Reading these minutes is like watching Groundhog Day, except its weekly. The minutes repeat the sa … [Read more...]

The Best Scientology Fundraising Event Is A Front-Page-Headline Disaster – Paris Edition
Scientology is busily engaged in one of their favorite pass-times. Using a tragedy to squeeze money out of people. And you can bet the below example is just one of many pitches being made. The IAS is no doubt having a great week. As I commented earlier today, the scientology fundraisers motto is: The best type of fundraising event is a front-page-headline tragedy. Here are a few facts: WTH booklets cost about 10c a piece to print, so the 250,000 copies for Paris is a $25,000 investment. Double it for inefficiency, shipping and handling and call it $50,000. The WTH Foundation … [Read more...]
A Shoop Is Worth 1000 Words
Sent to me by a Special Correspondent last night. Nothing further need be said. And no sooner had I posted this than I saw this from Marc Headley on Twitter. Seems to be a trend... UPDATE: Here is another one. Access Hollywood interview with Leah. 43,905 views. And who is PAYING to place their ad to try and take advantage of Leah's prominence? It's always a little satisfying when liars are caught lying! And just because.... And finally... … [Read more...]
ASHO Promotion
This is a recent email ASHO sent to SHSBC Graduates. The Snr C/S apparently doesn't have enough work to do, so is writing letters. He valiantly tries to worm his way around the fact that ASHO no longer delivers the Briefing Course -- it's no longer the home of the Briefing Course it is now the "home for all Briefing Course alumni to get training and processing" and "the top Survival Rundown delivery unit on the planet." This is like an email from Harvard to alumni if Harvard had been closed down as a university and converted into a Grade School. The straight up and vertical ideal PAC … [Read more...]
More Proof Scientology Is Not Expanding
Every day things arrive in my email from people around the world that highlight the absurdity of the scientology bubble. Many of them concern the claimed "straight up and vertical" international expansion Miscavige talks about at every event. You know, international expansion greater in the last 437.3 days than the 12,469,873.2 minutes cumulative previously... 12 million scientologists. New orgs opening everywhere. Governments fully adopting scientology. LRH tech pervading society. More awards for Hubbard than any many or beast in history. Square inches of new marble inlaid. … [Read more...]
Wise Getting In On The Boogie Man Pitch
It is a time honored tradition that creating enemies and instilling fear is an effective method of fundraising. It's much easier to get money by preaching hellfire and brimstone than to appeal to people's benevolence to support the good works you do. It's the difference between the TV evangelist and the Salvation Army. Per capita the TV evangelist extracts orders of magnitude more from their marks. Scientology has refined this technique and employs it from someone's first contact to their last dollar. Imagine if you had no "Ruin" and were not convinced you had a reactive mind ravaging y … [Read more...]

Hurricane Leah
Hurricane Leah is blowing Miscavige's house down. It is stunning that her book jumped immediately to the TOP of the NY Times Bestseller list. Scientology will likely tell their sheeple it is a reflection of the public "demand" for what they have to offer. It's an old refrain. "Any publicity is good publicity." "Just as long as you spell our name right." Blah blah blah. Reminiscent of Monty Python's black knight proclaiming "it's just a flesh wound" when his arms have been chopped off and "we'll call it a draw" when his legs are gone too. In truth it is a reflection of the public's … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Spelling Bee So the trained ones are the smart ones? Guess that doesn't include learning how to spell "gotten." Thanksgiving breakfast? Breakfast? With all male chefs -- now that's a real selling point. I guess.... The Graduation of All Time This is how they promoted the graduation where COP announced GAG II for Solo NOTs... And along with it was the come-on for the Clearwater NN opening the next day Wacky... CF-A-Thon And other important activities... Wouldn't be an "ideal org" without a … [Read more...]
