The GI at Flag must suck. The pressure must really be cranked up at Flag for Sonya Jacques to be delivering $10/head "seminars" at the local Mission. Sonya used to routinely make more than $200Gs a week. There is no way she would spend 2 hours on Wednesday evening at Bellaire Mission if things were even close to normal. This is desperation....

Don’t Miss This “Exclusive Briefing”
The "new Ideal PAC Base" is in need of personnel. Quick, you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to be a 50cents/hour cleaner and one of the people He mentions when He announces the "Ideal PAC Base now has 100 Maintenance Staff." "Exclusive briefing" is now a euphemism for "recruitment interview" -- seriously, is anyone going to fall for this?

Super Power Grand Opening Hype
Lauri "We Are Opening This Year For Sure" Webster is leading the cheering section to get everyone routed onto Purif and Objectives "NOW" so they are "ready for Super Power." You can read some of her recent emails below starting with the most recent. While they really speak for themselves, I have noted some significant things after each: Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2013 From: Lauri Webster <[email protected]>Subject: Important: Grand Opening Data Needed Dear Cornerstone Member, As I told you in my last email, the new Building will be opening beforeOctober (E.g., we will open in S … [Read more...]
Voldemort Update 26 July
The hype seems to be slowing down, the gushing praise for Him seems to be subsiding and the insanity of what is "news" seems to be reaching lower levels as each week goes by... Here is last night’s report: IAS Event at Flag: The preparations for the IAS event are well underway. The mega tent is on the way to the US by ship, and due to arrive in 3 weeks to Miami. It will be transported to CW, and then placed between the parking garage and Fort Harrison Avenue. Dave noted that it will be visible to all tourists who are going to the beach, so they will notice the presence of Scientology in the c … [Read more...]
Terry Brawley — Life Is Good
Another in the series of "Life Is Good." I have known Terry since I worked with him in OSA in the 80's and 90's. Terry is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to call friend. He is a talented stained glass artist, photographer and also runs guided kayak tours out of Venice, Florida. It makes me very happy to see him doing so well. Mike My history with Dianetics goes back to 1951 in Wichita. I started reading Scn. books in late 1968 in the Ozarks, and moved to Florida to join staff in early 1969. I did the usual...volunteered, did basic courses, and when old enough, joined … [Read more...]
Piss on The Psychs
A short commentary from a local Correspondent. The bubble world is becoming more fundamentalist: Mike, There I was minding my own business, driving up a street in Clearwater today when I noticed a sticker on a van window two cars ahead. At first, I thought "uh?", then it hit me - WTF?!?!?! I have never liked the stickers of a little s%^&head micturating on some other symbol (i.e., a Ford pick up will have a sticker of this character voiding on the Chevy symbol, etc.); I find it offensive actually. It remains me of high school punks who compulsively tried to create effects - ver … [Read more...]

Brainwashing — The Proof
The Corporate Church of Scientology is going all out to attempt damage control internally on the withering blasts that have been exposing some of the nasty, not to be spoken about underbelly of life in corporate Scientology. We see the media "handling" of claiming its all just lies made up by a couple of "self-promoting bloggers on the fringe of the internet" or a "small handful of bitter, defrocked apostates", but where the real panic is occurring is in trying to keep the faithful on board. The Ethics Officers are working overtime, but Miscavige's personal troops, the "OT Ambassadors" are … [Read more...]
Mike Wreggitt Speaks
Following is a posting sent in to me by Mike Wreggitt. It falls into the category of some of the earlier postings I called "Life Is Good." Things have been a bit frantic with "hard news", so this is a nice change of pace. Hey, I wanted to introduce myself to the independent Scientology community. My name is Mike Wreggitt. I’ve made a few posts a year or so ago on Marty’s blog, under my own name, but other than that I haven’t been too vocal. Also, I’m #140 on the Indie 500 list. What I have been doing is I’ve been on course, at The Courseroom in Georgia, on my Solo 1, under the course supervi … [Read more...]
Superpower Step One – The Ethics Repair List
This was submitted by one of our Special Correspondents -- Roy McGregor. I felt it worthy of its own post rather than just being a comment. I do believe there is another element not really covered here that is going to make this fail. People are conditioned how to think in the church. They KNOW what they can and cannot say. Even in session. It is why you do not find people coming up with David Miscavige or Julian Schwartz or Charmaine Roger as their PTS Items. Factually, being "in session" within the church of Scientology is impossible these days. There are too many taboos. And thus c … [Read more...]
Voldemort 19 July Updated
Here is the update from Graduation last nite. Absolutely without question the most spectacular event in the history of Scientology..... (until the next time Dear Leader takes the stage). He saved the showing of the 1993 IAS event so He could introduce it and He could make a pitch for the IAS. He is, after all, Founder of the IAS, a title that cannot be disputed as L. Ron Hubbard had nothing to do with the IAS. Stealing a phrase from Mel Brooks History of the World Part I "It's good to be the Founder".... He started the evening off with some really impressive stats: - 23 Cornerstone … [Read more...]
Let The Sliming Begin
The Dark Side of the Radical Church of Scientology is revealing itself piece by piece. Today, sort-of-celebrity Stacy Francis took a cheap shot at Nicole Remini after she spoke up in support of her sister. And with that the sliming of Nicole has begun. In a non-sequitur, offensive tweet, Francis put on display the level of hatred the church of Miscavige expects from those seeking to prove themselves “on the team.” One is supposed to "take off the gloves" when someone has been labeled “fair game” (meaning “connected to someone who is no longer toeing the party line). Francis decided that thr … [Read more...]
Pinocchio Pouw “Speaks” UPDATED
Miscavige and his pinocchio sockpuppet letter signer, Karin Pouw, are getting closer and closer to calling Leah Remini a liar. Their latest effort at damage control is reported in the NY Post: “We won't dignify the myths, radio gossip, rumors and off-the-wall tabloid tales that have their origins with self-promoting bloggers living on the fringe of the Internet.” Pouw also emphasized, “We would appreciate if you run this verbatim.” The carefully selected words and structure of the sentence is classic Miscavige. Though thinly veiled, this is not literally a frontal assault on Leah. It blame … [Read more...]
Nicole Remini
While I am trying to catch back up, I once again recommend everyone read Tony Ortega's interview with Leah's sister today. GREAT reporting and a lot of fascinating insight.... Thanks Tony. And thanks Nicole. Wish I had a sister like you! … [Read more...]
Shelly Miscavige Why She Stays
Tony Ortega continues on a roll of excellent reporting on the Leah Remini story, and again this morning has another very worthwhile piece. Whatever you may think of his personal views of Scientology (which after all, he IS entitled to), you have to admire his courage, his persistence and the network of sources he has built up over many years who feel he is a safe and reliable outlet for their information. He also writes clearly and well and takes the time to explain and include information to make understandable what can often be an impossibly arcane and confusing subject to the … [Read more...]
