This is a video from a scientologist in Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine. I watched the 20 minute video and it is heartbreaking to hear what is happening in her country. I don't doubt the tragedy she recounts, her bravery and sincerity in making this video, or that she is asking for help. This situation is devastating. But, this video also highlights several things about scientology and the mindset of a good scientologist. After describing the horrors that are occurring, she hits upon a familiar theme -- there is great urgency, the future of the planet it as … [Read more...]

A key tool of this technique is the "Success Story" which is required from every person who completes a service in scientology. Here is a classic example that ticks all the boxes of over the top gushing hype -- following a couple of weeks of running around a pole all day. And this is the SECOND TIME she has done this "rundown." I JUST COMPLETED MY 2ND CAUSE RESURGENCE RUNDOWN MARCH 4, 2022!

What the World Needs Now
One of our readers sent this to me and I thought it very appropriate and something I could republish while on my Spring Break.... What the World Needs Now I guess I expected that having been prevented from mingling with other humans for most of 2020, people would greet the return of social activity with smiles, hugs, and good fellowship. But I was wrong. An October 2021 article on time.com, entitled “Why Everyone is So Rude Right Now,” reported several incidents of assault on restaurant workers, a bus driver, and a flight attendant when clients were asked to wear a mask or control their … [Read more...]

If he is so successful... Maybe he could do a seminar for the staff of Columbus "ideal" org. Because they are failing miserably. So bad in fact that the majority of staff there are imported Sea Org members to try to give the appearance there is a going concern inside their new empty building. The impact we are making in Ohio This event should be done and dusted in 3 seconds or less... that would be an appropriate celebration for their "impact" Valley Unites Well, they will have the old ladies from the OT Committee there.

Episode 54: The Sea Organization Deep Dive with Hana Whitfield
Hana Whitfield is such a pleasure to talk to. One of the nicest, kindest people I have had the pleasure of knowing, she is also one of the most interesting. She helped us on The Aftermath, appearing on the episode "The Life and Lies of L. Ron Hubbard" (S2 E 13). Hana joined the Sea Org before it was the Sea Org (it was originally named the Sea Project) in 1967, and went on to Captain various Sea Org ships and bases. We do a deep dive into the early years of the formation of the SO, her recollections of Hubbard, his "Mission Into Time" and much more. Hana was a highly trained scientologist … [Read more...]
