I recently watched the One Ring Circus that was the IAS Event. Tony Ortega covered it on his blog. If you managed to force yourself to watch it you will have noticed it was a great deal of same old, same old. I think they are even recirculating some of their video elements. But this was especially true in the section on how the IAS is eradicating/destroying/obliterating/annihilating psychiatry and everything it does and stands for. The Ringmaster repeated over and over again that this is a high priority for the IAS. It isn't really -- if you have ever had CCHR beg you for money didn't it m … [Read more...]
More Lies From The Bubble Exposed
The leaks from the bubble continue to expose the truth to the world. The "Ideal Org" program is an abject failure. It was "launched" more than a decade ago and is NOWHERE. Here are the facts that this email confirms: 1. The entire United Kingdom still only has ONE Ideal Org and that was paid for by the IAS as part of Miscavige's PR campaign. He told the IAS to fund it as he was trying to gain charitable status in the UK (different from religious recognition and something still not accomplished) but also used it to promote himself. Not one other org is even close. 2. In theory the London … [Read more...]
Captain Miscavige Predicts The Future
Someone recently sent me an audio recording of the New Year's event which I am making my way through. Some of it is a bit hard to hear, but there is enough in there to make for some interesting posts which will be forthcoming when I have the time to put them together. But in the meantime, I came across an issue of the "High Winds" magazine celebrating the first 25 years of the Sea Org in 1992. You can see Captain Miscavige here addressing the audience at the International Base (this is before the advent of the Hole): But what is most interesting is to take stock of some of His hype from … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to David Miscavige
Penned by my good friend Dan Koon, one of the nicest people I know. Dan also possesses a wry and dry sense of humor. He said this is the 10 year anniversary of EPing the Highway 79 Rundown, "one of the best rundowns I ever did. It has given me lasting gains." Hi Dave, It has been 10 years to the day that I pedaled through the mechanical gate at the Kirby Apartments, biked through Hemet and routed myself out of the Sea Organization. Today I am reminded of a line in HCOB 31 Dec 59R, rev. 9 Feb 89, BLOW-OFFS (which, incidentally, I found more easily on the Internet than I could have found i … [Read more...]
Why Now Is The Time To Act
One of our Special Correspondents sent this in and I felt it worthy of a post: This article is being written specifically for those of you who are still "in" Scientology, still actively "on lines" or around in the orgs (although, of course, I want everyone to read it). I know there are many of you "still ins" who read this blog, probably many more than any of you actually realize. I have been exactly where you are right now. And I wanted to share some things that helped me get to a much better place across all my dynamics. There come points in everyone's life where they are fo … [Read more...]
An Apt Quote
An old friend sent this to me and I thought it very appropriate, especially as we are trying to get life and the house back in order after last night's Christmas Party. It is an easy posting to put up for some Sunday food for thought: Just came across these two verses (73-74) in Gil Fronsdal’s translation of the Dhammapada. [The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures -- Wikipedia] They struck me as an amazingly apt picture of the Little Emperor [David Miscavige]: Fools will want unwar … [Read more...]
Mike Rinder Texas Declaration
Because I have it soft copy and because I feel it summarizes a lot of relevant information that should be easily accessible for readers of this blog, this is the text of the declaration filed in the Monique Rathbun case in Texas today. For some reason loading this into wordpress keeps messing up the numbering. It doesnt change any of the text. DECLARATION OF MICHAEL RINDER My name is Michael Rinder, I am over the age of 21, and I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, which I declare are true and correct subject to the penalty for perjury. I was raised in a … [Read more...]
The Texas Showdown
Read the article and attached documents on Tony Ortega's site this evening. There are a series of declarations that tell a lot of the real story of the state of radical Scientology. Some weeks ago I said that I would post some things from LRH here for people to contemplate as there are some who read and post on this blog that seem to believe that LRH was flawless and that the aberration that is the church of Scientology today is entirely created by others. You will see in my declaration that was filed today that I cited some little known LRH references that may surprise some readers of this … [Read more...]
“COB, You Are The Best! You Have Given Us The Tech Now…”
Some people have been aghast that I would suggest that fundamentalist Scientologists believe that Miscavige is the reincarnation of LRH. Perhaps reincarnation was an inartful way of expressing myself. Miscavige is the NEW LRH would probably be more accurate. Whether they believe that LRH has now occupied Miscavige's mortal coil or whether they believe Miscavige has now succeeded LRH as unquestioned source is somewhat immaterial. Today, Miscavige is The One. Miscavige Himself seems to be trying to position himself as the "voice of LRH" much like the Pope is God's voice on earth. His … [Read more...]
Proof of Expansion
Believe it or not, this is the best proof Miscavige has of His "expansion." Everyone knows the stable datum that "the squirrels go crazy when we are expanding" so they MUST be going totally crazy: q.e.d. we ARE expanding. This afternoon, the barricades went up and the armed guards took their positions for the event they like to claim demonstrates their massive humanitarianism. As the crowds awaited clearance to enter the hallowed halls with their photo ID's , a banner flew overhead asking the question that SHOULD be on everyone's mind for this gathering of Scientology's … [Read more...]
