A blast from the past. This is taken from a Source Mag sent out in late 1984. It serves to highlight the fact that the carrot is always dangled out ahead, and if the carrot gets too old and moldy, it is replaced by a new one. The goalposts are forever shifting. New OT VIII and IX being released on the "new ship" soon became just "OT VIII." Then it was OT IX and X packaged together as the new carrot and the requirement has changed over time. First it was "enough OT VIII completions", then it was 10,000 on Solo NOTs, then it was "All orgs SH Size" and now it's "All orgs Ideal." None … [Read more...]
Some WISE PR Advice
Perhaps David Miscavige should listen to the advice his underlings are trying to sell. "If there are negative opinions, determine whether they are valid. "If they are valid, get working on correcting those problems. "Make sure your public knows that the problems are being or have been addressed." The arrogance of Miscavige and the church he has built in his image is such that he cannot admit to ANYTHING WRONG EVER. It is almost the hallmark of the Corporate Scientologist -- if anyone points out something wrong THEY are targeted. The mantras are many: "They have overts," "It's just natter," … [Read more...]
David Miscavige In His Own Words
Dirk Niblick just put up an interesting comment quoting from "The Wake Up Call." For those who may not have heard of this -- though if you spent any time in the church and attended even a single event, it is hard to imagine you have NOT -- it is one of Miscavige's favorite "accomplishments." Written after 9/11 it was intended to be the "Come to Jesus" message for the faithful to get busy. It was mostly written by Dan Sherman. Miscavige wanted to put out the issue, but did not plan on writing it himself. So, he called Marc Yager, Greg Hughes, Guillaume Lesevre, Lyman Spurlock, Ray Mithoff, … [Read more...]
Scientology Disconnection – The Numbers
Thanks to all for your kind and encouraging wishes following our wedding. They were very well received by us and greatly appreciated. We now return to regularly scheduled programming.... Recently I have posted a number of articles on the subject of Scientology Disconnection-see here for the overview: Scientology Disconnection Policy Exposed. One of the most interesting was the result of a survey to establish exactly WHO the Church of Scientology is so eager to declare. It showed the bulk of those declared were long time, well trained and experienced Scientologists. (Results here) Another … [Read more...]

Truth In Advertising Update and Wedding News
One of our Special Correspondents sent in some additional information concerning Matt Feshbach's skill in applying financial policy to his life (see earlier post here). Gives a less than complimentary picture of his history. It is not that I have any personal vendetta about Matt Feshbach or anyone else. It's that he is still held up as a poster child of success, and it is a lie. Here is the update: - Matt closed down his Feshbach Brothers fund on the west coast years ago, having taken investors’ money. - Additionally, he started a company on investors’ money – called FatPipeU, a broad … [Read more...]
WISE Pimping For Dollars
A study in twisted logic. All of Europe's businesses are dependent upon the creation of an "Ideal Org" in Denmark. With that sort of genius (clearly a master of the Data Series) in play -- the US should be BOOMING by now, so too South Africa and Australia and Italy and Spain and Denmark and Russia and Sweden and England and Germany.... My God, there should be a planetary economic upsurge the likes of which have never been seen before emanating from the "Ideal Orgs"! So, give us your money! NOW! It's urgent. And if it causes you pain, well, that's just how we roll. Von: WISE E … [Read more...]
