IAS Feedback They are pulling out all the stops to try and convince people to show up to the local re-airings of the decidedly underwhelming earth shaking IAS 30th Anniversary event. But they are REALLY out of touch with their public. A "testimonial" from a medic at the tent or "local shop owner" isn't going to convince a member of the IAS to show up. And I guarantee that if anyone who is NOT a member shows up, they will not be allowed into this event for fear that they are really a bitter defrocked apostate in disguise sent from the fringes of the internet. But … [Read more...]
Scientology Top Management Video Earlier Beginning
Given the enormous interest in the video posted on Marty Rathbun's blog, I am reprinting an article that he published on October 13, 2010 on Moving On Up A Little Higher . It features Jenny Linson and Dave Bloomberg (along with a number of others), carrying out an earlier, but very similar version of their LAX attack on Mark Rathbun. (My added comments are italicized in red) Miscavige Meltdown – the Proof One of the most widely read posts on this blog was published on 24 April 2010, Miscavige Meltdown. It was Mike Rinder’s account of an ambush staged by seven Miscavige flunkies on Mike i … [Read more...]
The 30th Anniversary IAS Event
We have already reported about the downgrade of the IAS Event - see The IAS Event Is Already A Bomb from 8 October. It is one thing to downgrade the 30th Anniversary of the IAS celebration to the parking lot on LRH Way, but its a total train wreck when the Flag event is suffering a similar, even more ignoble downsizing. They are not going to be holding this event at the Ruth Eckerd Hall but instead at the Fort Harrison.... The Auditorium there holds 1500 people. They claim to have more STAFF than this and "2000 people from out of town on service at any given time" PLUS 12,000 sc … [Read more...]
Delusion Reigns
These people are SO unreal. Why would a "management org" in a new building be the turning point of anything? There is no contact with the public? It matters not at all whether they have old desks or new custom-built ones, concrete floors or silk persian rugs, bare light bulbs or crystal chandeliers. This is simply the "fad" of scientology. What I now call the ideal syndrome. And why no mention of the ribbon yanking being graced by the presence of Captain Miscavige? Has he reverted to He Who Must Not Be Named again? BTW -- a note for the UK contingent. Seems Dear Leader will be at SH … [Read more...]
Disconnection and Desegregation
Because I have other things planned this weekend, I am cheating a bit and reprinting an earlier blog posting. I feel it is important, perhaps there will be some who have not read it before, and in my estimation the message bears repeating. I may make this a regular feature as I look back and there have been a lot of material published over the last few years.... It also seems specially appropriate on this weekend of IAS celebrations where the sheeple have been regaled with tall stories of the magnificent human rights work of the IAS in "guaranteeing freedom for all" and the church has … [Read more...]
Scientology and NOI — The Latest
The latest scientology/Nation of Islam collaboration front group activity. This "United in Peace Day" is being promoted in scientology circles as the "first public recognition of TWTH's role in producing LA's historic drop in crime" (what do they put in the water in scientology buildings?) And here is the "Confidential" briefing about this event (I wonder why this is confidential?) Of course, like everything else in scientology, it is a pitch for money... It is such a vital and important activity, but not a penny of the hundreds of millions of dollars vacuumed up by the IAS could be … [Read more...]
Scientology Whale Horror Story
Yesterday, Tony Ortega had a remarkable story on his blog about Bob Duggan, the biggest whale in scientology. Now more of the details have come to light with a new story on the South African blog which exposes some of the sordid underbelly of this bizarre story. This whole affair is further proof (as if any were needed) that scientology has truly become the religion that worships money. If you have enough of it, and give it to them, you are not only lauded with phony titles and big sparkly trophies, there is apparently NOTHING that cannot be provided by the "church". Their model is … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The Jetsons are going to save the world Anyone see Minority Report? The super dooper high tech state of the art newly launched CGI humanitarian program is just that. CGI. No substance. All hat and no cattle. Las Vegas ideal org is on fire They brought in people from a different country 600 miles away... Mexico City "ideal org" is a lot closer to Durango than Las Vegas is. So is Phoenix "ideal" org. Someone found these people wandering around Vegas with nowhere to go and had a bright idea. So, 400 of them came to the org. And the result? ONE start, s … [Read more...]
More News From The Vampire Empire
For the record, and to fill the gap while I finalize another far more important post.... As usual, the OTC's never fail to impress with their dedication to the Vampire Empire, doing their utmost to suck the last dime out of anything that moves. Funny about the reference Quinn the Eskimo uses to justify "fund raising" -- HCOPL 10 Sept 1982 "Exchange, Org Income and Staff Pay." I feel compelled to note this as it is such a startling example of the KoolAid Goggles these people wear. The Eskimo apparently cited this PL for the proposition that it is "group internal pressure" … [Read more...]
Lies, Lies, Lies
This is for posterity's sake. A bit of relative calm before the storm on the horizon. This is a list of the unfortunates who have handed over cash for the Valley "ideal building" (there is no "org"). I notice the Silver Humanitarian Taufer-Gregorian Family -- I assume they are in some way connected to Quinn The Eskimo... ? And Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright) is now identified as "Nancy" rather than the Royal Governess OT Rockstar Princess Queen etc etc etc. Apparently it is still embarrassing to include her full name, though I cannot fathom why this is? And I had no idea my … [Read more...]
