The Idle Org money crush to buy extravagant and unnecessary buildings in deserted areas of cities around the world has been the subject of much comment and speculation. But here are some facts and figures -- not for the faint of heart. But it does prove the economic wisdom of Miscavige's plan. Wisdom is used advisedly of course. If your PURPOSE is to accumulate MEST it is a fabulous plan. Though if your purpose is to help people, it is an unmitigated disaster. First of all, what does it take to get one of these fancy Scientology Idle Org Donation statuses? This list, presented on the New … [Read more...]
Help This Man Save The World NOW! Where Is The IAS?
Read this NOW!!! It is URGENT!! The world is coming to an end SOON!!! Act NOW!! Boston is taking the lead in the Nutball Stakes -- zooming past the Valley Comic Doorknobs with this follow up to their fridge magnet email. But the real question about this is WHERE IS THE IAS WHEN YOU NEED IT? Surely the IAS could spring $150 for 1200 DVDs to be run at Gold and $100 to ship them out. This is after all a Humanitarian program (that I fully support) and it could get a LOT of "good PR". So, why is Kevin Hall having to BEG people to give him money to get DVDs that the church can run off at … [Read more...]
Scientology.org v. Rinders Blog
This analysis provided by J. Swift. Interesting.... Thanks for all your support :) 1. Scientology.org is down 30.83% in the past one month. There was a seven day blip up 20% coincident with Portland Ideal Org grand opening and the attendant controversy over the photoshopped image. 2. Mike Rinder with a new blog -- and no billion dollar cash bank account -- powers out of Non-E with an 80% + change in one month: 3. Using Alexa to compare Mike Rinder with Miscavige Inc., we see that Rinder's blog is overtaking Miscavige! … [Read more...]
Scientology Mountain View — A Not So Ideal Ideal Org
This is the first in a series of investigations into the status of highly publicized churches and missions. Thanks to Special Correspondent Ronn Stacy who took this shot of the Mountain View "Ideal Org" Test Center today. If you cannot see clearly -- those are "For Lease" signs in the window. Ronn tells us that he doesn't know if they relocated but that would seem odd since this was a prime downtown location they have had for a decade or more. At one time they ran most of Div6 here, OCA testing, basics bookstore, pinch tests, Div6 Crs Room, Book 1 auditing. Mountain View was one of the f … [Read more...]
Church of Scientology — Wack Jobs?
Just a bit of lighthearted amusement among the real news being generated by Corporate Scientology, but it illustrates an important point about the state of Scientology. This email is being sent out by Boston Org with no message, just the subject heading "Freedom Alliance Mystery Magnet." What are they thinking? Not much apparently. Not even a Paypal button like Austin to give them $25,000? But then again, I guess it makes about as much sense as the other garbage that is sent out to convince local org public to give money to other orgs for their "Ideal Buildings" when their own org do … [Read more...]
"Czech Scientologists Getting Madrid Done" Great News???
This is bizarre on so many levels... For anyone who doesnt know, Madrid is like Buffalo. One of the very first "Ideal Orgs" (and a very high priority for Miscavige at the time as Tom Cruise was dating Penelope Cruz and her family were being coaxed into the church -- Penelope's sister is a very well known TV presenter in Spain), they have had a second "Grand Opening" and now they doing their "Non E Campaign" (10 years later). And apparently the "hey-you" isnt just across the US for Portland, Europe was in on it too because they say "after having finished the funding for Portland" we are now … [Read more...]
The IAS — The Black Heart of the Scientology Vulture Culture
The history of the International Association of Scientologists is worth knowing. Its initial value (in 1984) as a repository of funds outside the reach of the IRS in 1984 may be debated. It seemed like a good way of protecting money. The IAS had nothing to do with the “Portland Crusade” though David Miscavige has made it part of his history now. (As a note, the "winning tradition" born in Portland is another sleight of hand -- the losing tradition of a $39 million judgment was born in Portland and then carried on in Los Angeles with another judgment for Wollersheim that was NOT vacated in sp … [Read more...]
Scientology Photoshops Audience for Miscavige Event
When you try to claim that a crowd of 400-500 is actually a crowd of 2,500, Photoshop is your best friend. The Radical Church of Scientology is no stranger to photoshopping audiences and their "man with no head" audience member went viral after the 1999 New Years Event. Scientology Audience Doctored. However with all the attention on the Portland ("Scientology City") opening and the months of pressure to have Scientologists from all over the world fly in to puff up the crowd at the event, apparently the disappointment of unused chairs and low attendance was too much. So when the o … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Paranoia At Fever Pitch In "Scientology City"
See the idiotic lengths Corporate Scientology went to in order to try to prevent Mark Bunker from shooting the ribbon cutting ceremony of the "Ideal Org" in "Scientology City" (known to the rest of the world as Portland Oregon). Tony Ortega has had a running commentary provided by Mark Bunker documenting the events on his blog. One has to ask the question: Why bother? Miscavige jets into Portland to speak, along with some other duped "OLs" to "the public" on THE STREET. Yet he is absolutely paranoid about Mark Bunker accessing a vantage point to film the proceedings. The church p … [Read more...]
IAS Human Rights Claims — Fact Check
Next in the series of efforts to fact check the vague claims of "what your support for the IAS buys". Of interest is that virtually no update of the IAS site has been done since 2007. The same unverifiable generalities are there from when the site was first created. Kudos to Natasha Boris for performing the thankless task of wading through the bs to try to verify any smallest specific that may have slipped into the pages of the IAS website. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Part Two – Human Rights by Natasha Boris From the Human Rights Reference Handbook: “Human rights are ‘commonly under … [Read more...]
Corporate Scientology Taking the World by Storm
Just a bit of light heartedness in preparation for the possible sighting of Heber as Miscavige's dancing bear tomorrow in Portland. If Heber does appear, he will not be talking to anyone unaccompanied and he owes a lot of people on the internet a thankyou for being allowed out of the Hole for a couple of days and getting a soda on the plane. Check out the SPECIAL INVITATION below. All you lucky Austinites can now pay $25,000 via Paypal to the Austin Ideal Org as part of celebrating taking Portland and the World by storm! And best news of all, there is even an LRH quote to support it : … [Read more...]
CO WISE Fundraising for "Ideal Orgs"
A report just in from Tampa. Quentin Strub, CO WISE EUS, flew into town to deliver a "KSW Seminar." Here is the invitation to this spectacular, must-attend event sent out by Kent Oliver the Director of Public Booksales Tampa Day (fast becoming the poster child for hey-you "org boarding"): Date: Tue, 7 May 2013 09:52:08 -0700From: [email protected]: ThisWednesdayTo: Hi,This is a very important seminar every person should attend.

You may not always agree with Tony's perspective, but it is irrelevant when he is posting … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Gone Wild: "Packed" Dianetics Seminar!!!! Kiddie Promo. 2 for 1 Leatherbounds.
Here is a new newsletter from the latest Ideal Org promoting their success with a "packed out" Dianetics Seminar... And here is page two of the newsletter showing the details (I omitted the other stuff in between the headline and the evidence which was two success stories). You can see from the 2 photos that the "packed" Dianetics Seminar in an IDEAL ORG had EIGHT attendees. Now this is almost certainly more than they have ever had at a Dianetics seminar which is good for them. But the millions spent on an Ideal Org isnt proving to be very cost effective when they promote loudly that … [Read more...]
Dead Agent – David Miscavige and His Dead Orgs
Our man in Sweden, Dan Koon, has sent us a copy of the "Dead Agent Pack" being distributed to those who dare question the wisdom of David Miscavige's Ideal Org Strategy. As D/A packs go, it leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, it is really lame. It could be Exhibit 1 in a presentation to prove that Ideal Orgs are a squirrel, off policy "bright idea" by the Chairman of the MEST Universe. Of course it can be tough to try to find quotes to "Dead Agent" clear LRH Policy. It's sort of like the North Koreans trying to "D/A" the "enemy line" that they live in a closed society with impoverished, br … [Read more...]
