Things in the world of perpetual money-grubbing move along at a rapid clip, with a new story every week (it's tough when you have to keep asking the same people over and over). As a result there is hyperinflation of the hype with each new story more over-the-top than the last one. For 20 years the cry was to give us your money because Super Power is going to make planetary clearing a reality. Never mind the same thing was said about GAT I, The Basics, the Golden Age of Knowledge, Ideal Orgs, The International Dissemination Center, BPI, the purchase of KCET, ads on the Super Bowl and the … [Read more...]
Test Center Opening, Or Maybe Not…
To keep everyone updated on the the most important events ever that may or may not ever happen. It seems there is still some problem with the Hollywood Test Center. You know the one that was promoted as being opened last Friday at 6:30 "to be in time for the Oscars crowd"? It's just a few days away and its "not finalized". Again. This is really becoming a pattern with every event. These things used to be like clockwork and since last year, starting with the cancellation of the 25th Anniversary MV financial hari kiri cruise, things have gone completely out of control. Flag is promoting the … [Read more...]
Cause Over The MEST Universe?
The farce continues. Most of the idiocy has been documented here as they have bounced around between "it's happening and you had better be there" to "we handled the drought and you had better be there, time to be announced" to "we parted the clouds and you had better be there" to "we have delayed it, but you had still better be there" to "the final time is 3:30 Sunday and you had better be there" to "let's try it again next weekend." Of course, this could all change again in the next hour, once Pam Lancaster awakens from her beauty sleep and postulates some clear sky. Or it could all be a … [Read more...]
The King Of Ad Hominem
David Miscavige, in typical form, responds to the fairly innocuous statements of Leah Remini reported in Buzzfeed and subsequently in a lot of other media. A number of people who know some of the real story wondered why she was soft-peddling her comments and assumed it was simply that she is moving on with her life and has little interest in even talking about the subject, though reporters want to make it the focus of any interview. Her comments about wanting to spend more time with her daughter and family and not be so slavishly devoted to the church have been widely picked up … [Read more...]
The Gods Are Crying
Seems the Gods are not smiling down on Dear Leader. Either that or some SP's have conspired to suppress the weather (though everyone else in California is no doubt pleased) and mess with his party on Friday and Saturday. Confusion reigns inside the bubble -- first they announced the date as last weekend, then changed to this Friday and Saturday ("to capture the Academy Awards crowd...."), then word went out that the events would be delayed until Sunday and Monday. Then that changed -- like good OT's who will make it go right, "we will not be effect of the weather" and it was back to Friday … [Read more...]
“If The Pope Were Coming To LA To Open 3 New Churches….”
The panic is becoming palpable in PAC. The latest timing is now apparently set for the grand re-re-opening of AOLA and ASHO for 2pm Saturday (though it could change by tomorrow). Various people have forwarded the emails they are being bombarded with. There are reportedly no bulk emails. Each one is personalized. And with admonitions NOT to forward them or send anything out in bulk. But meanwhile, they are begging people to show up as they are expected to have 10,000 in attendance for this really lame event -- and that is double what they get to the Shrine with 6 weeks of call-in! (Another … [Read more...]
More Disparagement :)
Because I feel like piling on today. Steve Hall took the new RCS Non-Disparagement Covenant and revised it to substitute North Korea for the CoS, to show how just insane this document and the CoS mentality has become. It is both amusing and disturbing. The church of Scientology is becoming a parody (Parodi?) worthy of the further attention of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Miscavige and His Merry Band of Minions could become the perfect sequel to Team America: World Police or The Book Of Mormon. DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA, DISTRICT OF _____________ State Covena … [Read more...]
Fear Of Discovery
Tony Ortega had a fascinating document on his blog amongst the weekly "Sunday Funnies." It is indicative of how paranoid things have become inside the bunker. And how much effect the work of those who have spoken out about abuses within the church has been. And how mortally wounded Dear Leader really is and how desperate to end the "torture" of exposure he is. They are actually trying to get new people to sign a bizarre document, something so astonishing it bears as much exposure as possible. This says everything about the state of the RCS. The language of the document is remarkable for a … [Read more...]

ARC, Jimmy Bennett Confirm your attendance even though we cannot tell you WHEN it will be. Do you need a babysitter or not? Dinner? … [Read more...]
OT Ambassadors Code
Just for fun, I thought everyone might get a kick out of reading this. It is the original write up put together by Sherry Murphy or Guillaume Lesevre or someone to hand out to the "OT VIII's" who attended the Freewinds Maiden Voyage Events (back when they were still held). The idea was to give the public something that started to make THEM responsible. Miscavige complained often that he is the "only one" and that the staff and even public didnt contribute to accomplishing "command intention" so this was written and handed out and the newly invented "OT Ambassadors" were made to swear to … [Read more...]
