This is a recent report from Los Angeles Model Ideal Org. A current staff member was asked about their pay. "It varies based on GI. Sometimes the check is so low we don't bother to go pick it up and thus donate it back to the org. Our Chief Registrar, John Barber, recently regged a pc for his entire LRH library and we were all were ecstatic because we would get paid." Every staff member in the entire org, every post, is being taught Big League Sales Closing Techniques from the Les Dane book and how to reg money out of people. Now, this is not just an "Ideal Org." This is the MOD … [Read more...]
What Do They Fear?
Just what is it that the church is SO worried about? Why are they so paranoid about information "leaking" onto the internet? Funny, David Miscavige seems to enjoy crowing about how they got "19 million hits" (I know its a lie as this blog gets MORE visitors than Scn.org and I average around 8,000 per day and even at 2.5 pages per visitor that only totals 7.3 million a year) and have numerous "state-of-the-art" websites and are on the "cutting edge." But they are terrified it seems about things showing up on the internet that they are not controling. And for an organization that constantly … [Read more...]
More Fake Videos for Voldemort Graduation Extravaganza
It seems the flap is spreading. Time for some fast "damage control" to try to shore up eroding sandcastle of Ideal Orgs. He has to do SOMETHING urgent to "prove" the Idle Orgs are not a massive waste of time and other people's money. So, send out some film crews to take contrived videos of "flourishing" idle orgs by calling in the old standby "OT Committee". These people are going to stand in as "winning public" to show how their Ideal Org is kicking ass - "giving the message that everyone is in the org getting through." How strange they have to do a SPECIAL CALL IN to shoot the v … [Read more...]
Leah Remini vs. David Miscavige
The old saying goes, "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." A modern translation, "Never pick a fight with anyone who has a large social media profile." And with that in mind, we see this statement from David Miscavige this morning: Good Morning America reported Tuesday that they had received comment from the Church of Scientology that said, "We know this may come as a surprise to someone as self-absorbed as Ms. Remini, but we could care less if she wins or loses on Dancing With the Stars." One thing you can ALWAYS tell from Miscavige's media and court statements - … [Read more...]
More On The Vulture Culture Revisited
My apologies for being somewhat out of touch on the blog over the last little while. I have been attending to some business. I was looking for something tonight for another reason and came across this post I did on Marty Rathbun's blog in November 2011. I thought it very relevant to much that has been said of late and so I am republishing it here for any who may not have read it back at that time. The use of the term "POB" in here was understood by the blog readers at the time to be "Pope on a Box" a reference to the fact that Miscavige uses an "apple box" to make him appear taller (an apple … [Read more...]
Disconnection And My Mother
My mother, Barbara, disconnected from me after I spoke out about Miscavige's abuses to the Tampa Bay Times. Prior to that, even though I had escaped from the Sea Org (not as the church now likes to claim "that I was removed from all positions of authority") she maintained a mother/son relationship with me, corresponding back and forth about things that had nothing to do with Scientology. Her dogs, garden, grandchildren and great grandchildren, the weather, anything but Scientology. She told me I was her firstborn and that would always trump anything else, no matter what … [Read more...]
David Miscavige = L. Ron Hubbard II
Charlie Chaplin would have had a field day with the unfolding insanity of Radical Corporate Scientology. David Miscavige, who, according to the church is "following in the footsteps of founder L. Ron Hubbard" (Karin Pinocchio Pouw) is apparently solidifying his position as "Founder II" with his imminent GAG II release. Clearly, GAG II is eagerly anticipated and will "follow in the footsteps" of LRH's filmed briefing where he introduced the Grade Chart. You can be sure, the GAG II lecture by Founder II will be more broadly disseminated and promoted than the "old" stuff from Founder I that … [Read more...]
Still More Ideal Org Insanity
These 3 email/promotipons were sent out last week. Each is as nutty as the next. All are irrefutable evidence that the Vulture Culture reigns supreme in the world of corporate Scientology. The first promotes (last week) the "Maiden Voyage" (that didn't happen in JUNE). But more bizarre is the bottom of this list..... Seems the Ideal Org Strategy in the "First Ideal Continent" has run into a few speed bumps chasms. As I recall, St Louis bought a building some years ago.... Hawaii has just never gone anywhere, even in this "era of Massive International Expansion greater in the last year than … [Read more...]
Voldemort Tent Update August 30
Well, you will be happy to hear, that like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, He's back. (Had to make a trip to Los Angeles to meet with lawyers to try and figure out how to wriggle out of the Monique Rathbun lawsuit). But in His absence there was lots of excitement in downtown Clearwater over His tent. Actually, over the illegal destruction of two live oak trees to make way for the tent. He no doubt issued the order to chop down the trees when He was not in town so he couldnt receive any embarrassing phone calls from the city. Interestingly, none of the reports, even Tony Ortega himself, r … [Read more...]
Miscavige’s Motto
Finally, some (accidental) truth in advertising. This IS what the orgs and "Humanitarians" have been led to believe "If you build it, they will come" -- so it's interesting to see it being stated overtly. But it is NOT the whole truth. The truer statement would be the actual Miscavige Motto -- "If you build it, they will believe me." THAT campaign has worked with the sheeple. They DO believe that the purchase and renovation of buildings is proof of massive international expansion. It even worked with some media for a while (you never see ANY statement from the church that doesnt include how … [Read more...]
