The latest reporting from Tracey McManus highlights the tensions in the city as they try to deal with the maneuverings of David Miscavige. The Mayor and City Manager are on one side, and the City Council on the other in the battle over parcels of downtown property scientology wants. Tracey's earlier report goes into more detail about the plans to build affordable housing across the street from Miscavige's office and the termination of that planned construction after Miscavige got involved. Now, City Council members (notably Mark Bunker and Kathleen Beckman) are upset that they have … [Read more...]
Chicago Is Getting Old Fast
This "ideal" org in Chicago is really setting some interesting precedents. The building has been completed for some time. But they cannot open it. There are two apparent reasons. First, Miscavige fears being anywhere public -- even surrounded by security and all sorts of measures to protect him from being served with legal process. The second reason seems to be that they have no staff, so have resorted to a scraping of the barrel from other orgs. In the past this was done wholesale, often using SO members (like in Columbus and Orlando), but now it seems that like donations to the … [Read more...]
New Flag Protocol: Watch Miscavige Videos for Days
This is not a joke. This is a brand new promo piece from Flag. Mailed this past week. Of course, the "Bridge" was NEVER restricted at Flag. They were bringing in people from Class V orgs to do the Purif and TR's and Objectives throughout the pandemic. It was the only place they COULD go. But now, they have new protocols and they are announcing it loud and proud in one of their oversize, high-gloss mailings: So, this is the new protocol. Enter "an ultimate safe and distraction free environment" one Day 1. Then for 2 days "Get in the loop." What exactly does this … [Read more...]
The “Warmth and Friendliness” of David Miscavige
This showed up yesterday. Wonder why? Almost certainly it's the result of Miscavige having a hissy fit about the imminent release of my book, A Billion Years: My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology I've seen it many times -- Miscavige screaming at his underlings that he is "being attacked" and "nobody ever does anything to protect him." (Add some expletives of course) They frantically rush off to "do something" and a pathetic press release like this results. No doubt there will be other "handlings" -- more articles on the STAAD website, more nasty tweets from … [Read more...]
“Massive” Announcement! The Bridge is now “Wider”
The scientology world is going nuts with the "super-mega OMG!! announcement" that "everyone has been waiting for." It is BIG BIG BIG news. Because it's so monumental, it's going to be made at the next Graduation (since when was this a thing?) I haven't seen a frenzy like this for some time -- probably not since Super Power/Running Pgm. I would bet it has to do with the OEC training program Miscavige has been running. Only something he is personally involved in (and is taking credit for of course) could get this sort of attention. Probably some "lost tech" of how to get people on the … [Read more...]
Where’s Waldo?
While Miscavige and the scientology organizations pretend they have no idea where Captain Miscavige is when it comes time to face the music in court, they are making a very big deal about him being right there at the Ft Harrison delivering briefings ever Friday night. "Talk about a Flag exclusive!" Dear Leader has been lapping up the adoration at Flag graduation each week, and Flag wants everyone to know. They devoted an entire, large format mailing piece exclusively to make his presence known. The ridiculous statements on the last page are clear evidence of the brainwashed … [Read more...]
Blowing More Smoke Captain Miscavige’s Way
I recently posted about the sycophants gushing over Captain Miscavige. Here is another one. In celebration of his birthday on Saturday, the brown-nosers at the Stand League sent out this tweet (not a word these days from Fast Eddie Parkin -- he was so righteously right, but I guess not good enough in the end and now scrubbing dumpsters somewhere): Obviously, as the celebrations for Ron's Birthday are on the decline in terms of importance and attendance, Captain Dave is taking Source's place. The official propaganda organ of scientology is tweeting out about how it's a "privilege" to … [Read more...]
New Human Trafficking Lawsuit
You have probably seen by now the news that 3 former children of the Sea Org filed a lawsuit today. Tracey McManus article in the Tampa Bay Times. Ben Schneiders article in the Sydney Morning Herald This is a copy of the filed Complaint Three powerful law firms are bringing this case, all have experience in big, hard-fought litigation. The complaint goes into extensive detail about what happened to these victims, and also how scientology is organized and operated. The allegations are horrendous -- but are not new and similar things have been stated by many others. … [Read more...]
Blowing Smoke at Captain Miscavige
Below is a posting from a scientologist on Facebook. It's a rather bizarre photo of Captain Miscavige on the bridge of the Freewinds, dressed in a business suit (where is his fancy Captain uniform?), overseeing his domain. Probably intended to communicate his "forward looking vision for the future" or something. At least in his mind. In reality, he looks utterly out of place and fake. The FB poster puts underneath his photo, a quote from Hubbard. As if these two things go together. Dear Leader Captain Dave is the embodiment of the solution to "Man's lack of skill in politics, … [Read more...]
More of the BS Expansion Hype
Some follow up to the earlier post about hype expansion news. Lots of amazing expansion that has never come to pass... what Captain Miscavige was saying in 2014. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Golden Age of Tech Phase II is described this way on the scientology website: So, this "47X" expansion occurred between November 2013 and June 2014. 47 times expansion in just 8 months. OMG... I did a posting about this in August 2014: Massive Expansion of Lies Then in February 2016, the claim was 60X in the last 2 years -- … [Read more...]
