Smoke and Mirrors Putting together some backlogged material that has been sent in over the past couple of weeks. There has been so much news and so many things happening that some of these are a bit stale, but nevertheless, worth noting. This "Ideal Org" program is such an abject disaster it is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the fail. So, here are a few examples to highlight the fact that Pinocchio Pouw's statements that everyone is missing the "real story" of Scientology with "37 new churches opened in the last few years" is in fact TRUE. The real story IS that 37 buildings have … [Read more...]
The OC is On Fire! Updated with Shots Of Bustling Org
Note: there was no Graduation last nite due to a special Sea Org only event "for SO Day" but I bet Voldemort was just not feeling in the mood after his weekus horribilus. So. instead we have some news from across the country. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and a year after the OC "Ideal Org" finally opened, their Non E campaign is off the ground. And boy, the news is amazing! They got a donation from someone in NEW YORK. They put up billboards around Disneyland (stupidest place ever -- the people at Disney are TOURISTS, NOT their public) and, wait for it, as they saved the really big … [Read more...]
Prices Are Going Up While We Are Going Down!
The Smiths are at it again -- throwing out more confusion and hidden data to try to drum up some business. Not only is Miscavige planning the super extravaganzapalooza of amazingness to blow the minds of the sheeple with Super Power, Cause Resurgence, GAG II, the meter, dictionary and a whole new building in a circus tent with fireworks, dancing elephants and clowns, he also plans to make a shitload more money with price "changes" (increases) as it just wouldn't be fair to let people "rocket up the Bridge faster than ever, ever, ever" without making them pay more for the privilege of getting … [Read more...]

Pinocchio/Miscavige “Respond” to Lawsuit
Miscavige marionette Karin Pinocchio Pouw has issued another patented ad hominem attack to the media as a "response' to the lawsuit filed last Friday. Quote from the Tampa Bay Times article: Church spokeswoman Karin Pouw said Wednesday that the church had not been served with the lawsuit. But she added: "Based on your questions, the complaint filed in Texas is nothing more than a pathetic get-rich scheme cooked up by unemployed blogger Marty Rathbun, a self-admitted suborner of perjury who is now resorting to using his wife in an attempt to extort money from the church." And she is quoted … [Read more...]

Super Power — It’s Official “Sometime in September”
In typical Keystone Kops fashion, the world is informed of the planned dates for the "Grand Opening" of "The Mecca Building" and release of Super Power and GAG II and the Mark VIII meter and, and, and... in early October. BUT, the Chief Super Power Reg sent an email 3 days ago TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO THE EVENT and she is STILL NOT GIVING A DATE! In fact, she is telling people to come in September and that the Grand Opening and IAS event will be in September and October. And this is an email telling people to get visas and make their travel and accommodations reservations. Are things really … [Read more...]
Mike Eldredge Letter to David Miscavige & Co.
I have known Mike Eldredge since December 1975 when he and his wife Penny were the first two new recruits to arrive at Flag in Clearwater. At the time the location was still confidential and they had not been told where they were going until they were given tickets at the airport. They were excited to be at Flag, but a little disappointed as they had only come from Miami! Mike went on to become a cramming officer, auditor and C/S who worked on many projects directly for LRH. I did a few Missions with him at various times. This write up only touches upon his history and experience. Perhaps he … [Read more...]
Big Brother Is Watching
The "friendliest place in the world" is losing its lustre. In fact, it is becoming downright creepy. This is from the latest "OT" Committee Meeting Minutes -- my highlighting in red: "Emmett Osborn, OTC Dir IAS Field Dissemination, come up to brief us about the winners of the recent IAS Game with the prize of a special pin for getting 2 status upgrades, 2 Lifetime Memberships or a donation on $10,000. He presented gifts of special lapel pins, engraved pens and one-of-a-kind shoulder bags to the winners, Kaye Champagne and Tom Cummins. Emmett re-briefed us on the new IAS Game t … [Read more...]
Begging for an “Ideal” PAC
The latest insanity comes courtesy of the Uniform IC PAC -- Val Page (daughter of Homer Schomer who was at ASI, queried certain financial practices, was abused, kicked out and declared and his daughter has not spoken to him in 30 years!). But that is not the point here. In case any further proof was needed, the vulture culture has permeated every corner of the RCS. All the way down to the "Uniform IC" -- a post that has NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER with the public -- sending out begging emails to get money for a "PAC Events Center" to "usher public up the Bridge:" Dear … [Read more...]
