Today, we are heading off on a 7 day cruise with the Headleys and Smith-Levins. The blog will go into "vacation mode" -- there will be some new posts, and I will also republish important articles from earlier -- though not the same ones I did when we took our cruise to Alaska last year. I will still moderate comments as I can -- probably not as fast as normal. I encourage you to read the republished articles again, even if you have read them before, as they contain important information. In some cases I have updated them. And one of them has an accompanying new video on my YouTube … [Read more...]
San Francisco Ideal Org Failing – What a Shock!
A recent promotional item from San Francisco tells the real story of this, one of the first "ideal orgs." They are oddly proud of the fact that "just since reopening these services in September" they have completed "40 students and preclears on their next Bridge steps." They are celebrating this as an "outstanding year of Bridge progress." That is 40 completions in 5 MONTHS. 20 WEEKS. That translates into 2 courses or auditing steps a week. TWO. This is not even the level of production expected of a part-time mission. Let alone an org. Let alone an “ideal” org that should have … [Read more...]
Mad Mappin Hits the Interwebs
Scientology's version of Monty Pythons Upper Class Twit is at it again (I always love it any time I can slip in a Monty Python reference) -- if you don't know this skit, I have included it at the end of this post. I have written about Mad Mappin before (the most recent here: Mad Mappin At It Again). Now he has called on a local member of the British parliament to do something about the "genocide" of the COVID vaccines. (Wonder if he has sent something to David Miscavige demanding an explanation as to why all Sea Org and staff were required to get the "Covid injections"?). Putting an … [Read more...]
Another Empty Ideal Org
An interesting piece in the Minnesota Daily Another inside view of an "ideal" org -- empty like all the rest. A few highlights. The almost obligatory mention of Shelly and now the fact Dave is in hiding: Shelly hasn’t been seen publicly since 2007, and any comment on her whereabouts from the church seems vague to say the least. David, on the other hand, has disappeared more recently in wake of a civil child trafficking suit. The results of his OCA were, surprise, surprise "unacceptable": My OCA results considered me to be in a largely unacceptable state, only activity being deemed … [Read more...]
Ghost Ship: SMV Freewinds
One of our readers was on a cruise that stopped in Aruba. They took some shots of the ghost ship. There isn't any sign of life, the lights are on but there's nobody home. At some point Captain Napier made an appearance: Not sure what he is doing -- he looks a little frustrated (no big surprise, imagine being the "captain" of a ship permanently tied up to a dock with no passengers)... It turns out his appearance was for a video shoot! What a surprise…. They gathered some kids and had them muster up in formation to be addressed by Capt. Mike (the camera crew is behind the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Of course, this week we have a lot of late Xmas or (as someone cleverly put it recently -- R6Mas) announcements and urging people to show up to the orgs for New Years celebrations reg events. Generic Please Come CC has a DJ and Dancing Angels? More implants from the R6 bank according to L. Ron Hubbard Melbourne for Brisbane Because Brisbane can't do it for themselves... You are not mortal BUT, we will sell you your "eternity" P This lady is going to tell you how to get up the Bridge Make a LOT of money, … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Wandering Wick Wore out his welcome in Melbourne. Now in his homeland creating big effects... Yawn. I guess he has been officially put out to pasture. He probably has a medical condition the SO doesn't want to pay for so they sent him back to NZ to take advantage of the free healthcare for citizens. What does it take? Just some crazy wigs and an LRH quote it seems. Oh, and your money. Graduation for Human Rights Day? Not enough graduates for a graduation. Not enough dones for an event about Human Rights. I know, let's put them … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving
For all of you in the United States, have a wonderful Thanksgiving today with family and friends. We will be celebrating with Mary and David Kahn, Aaron and Heather-Smith Levin (and girls) and Mat Pesch and Amy Scobee. We have a lot to be thankful for. If you have your family in tact, cherish them. For those who have suffered the loss of disconnection, keep the faith that eventually they will see the light and you will be reunited. In the meantime, appreciate the family and friends you do have in your life. I will publish the Funnies on Saturday. Over at the Underground Bunker, … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
We see the start of the Christmas promotion this week. Scientology loves to partake in the psychiatrically implanted ritual surrounding the birth of "the man on the cross"... It's pretty weird. But anything to try to get people to come into their empty buildings. AO Africa hiring staff for Class V orgs? Huh? About as NON-scientology as you can get It's a bunch of dilettantes. Blast from the past... Wow, Bobby Wiggins is still trying to make a living from IAS commissions. It's very gentle and easy... You don't have to mention … [Read more...]
