An update from some ex-scientologists familiar with the failed efforts to make St. Louis "ideal." You may recall, we heard from them back in 2019 -- which I covered in a blog post St Louis Blues -- An Epic Ideal Org Scam Note: the other two orgs mentioned in that first para are still not close to becoming ideal either... And also remember, this is the organization that boasts they have the ONLY workable "management technology" on earth. Here is the update from our observers. The Church of Scientology bilked $17 million out of Scientologists to fund the St Louis … [Read more...]
We ARE Clearing the Planet — Proof
Some news from the model ideal org in Los Angeles. Over 880 Clear (or "near Clear") in just the last few years alone. Best case scenario, the "few" years is the minimum it can be which is three. That is a bit less than 300 per year. 6 per week. More likely, the "last few years" is since they went "ideal" in 2010. That is 12 years. About 75 per year or 1.5 per week. Most likely they are counting this from when they became a full Sea Org "model ideal" in October 2014, with 200 imported SO members. That is 7 years. Confirming that is the likely time period, here is their hype … [Read more...]
Cincinnati Ideal Org ED Jeanie Sonenfild Bankrupt
One of the "big names" in scientology -- Jeanie Sonenfild/Bogvad/Franks/Danilovich -- has a pending bankruptcy proceeding. What makes this of interest? Jeanie was promoted as one of the most successful Class V org ED's. Here she is below, winning the birthday game as the ED of Cincinnati Org (she was ED of LA Org before this). She has a long history in the Sea Org -- was formerly married to Bill Franks who was at one point the Executive Director International of scientology. Then to Jens Bogvad, the former ED of Munich Org when it was the biggest … [Read more...]
Port Elizabeth Racing to the “Finish Line”
It is happening in Port Elizabeth everyone! After 200 days of renovations they are putting in the drop ceilings. That is "racing".... And this is of course moving Africa ever closer to an "ideal" "continent." The other "coastal orgs" (Durban and Capetown) purchased buildings many, many years ago and have done nothing with them. Harare and Bulawayo remain hopeless and the chance of either of them becomingbideal is slim to none. But that’s not even the biggest joke. Their “continent” will be “ideal” without a single org in 52 of the 54 countries that make up the continent. With a … [Read more...]
LA Org — The “Model” Ideal Org
This is the model ideal org that all orgs are supposed to follow... The one manned entirely by Sea Org members (which is NOT able to be duplicated by Class V orgs anywhere else). This says a lot about the state of this org. They need to ROUND UP and CALL IN people in order to have 30 people in the shots.... They don't have 30 people in the org already? They have to call in actors? What is up with that? … [Read more...]
NY Org Sprung a Massive Leak
Some pretty devastating information from NY Org has found its way to me. These are stat graphs of NY Day and Fdn for this year. This is the big kahuna model ideal org on the East Coast -- right off Times Square, it is in the ideal location for a Class V org, its one of the oldest orgs on earth, and was the 5th ideal org to ever open, way back in 2004. As Miscavige said numerous times, the "ideal org" strategy was the stepping stone that would make it possible for all orgs to make it to the size of Old St Hill. That is the "make-break" point of a scientology organization … [Read more...]
What’s Happening in Melbourne “Ideal” Org?
Here is the latest magazine from the Melbourne "ideal" org, supposedly the best Class V org in Australia (by a country mile as they say there). Yet this magazine is what is known in the propaganda world as a Nothingburger. I comment on various sections below... The pretty cover (nothing to do with anything inside) makes a promise that inside you will find out all about the "Training Boom" and the "Latest Completions & Success Stories." An important message from the unnamed Executive Directors (why no names?) Of course, as always, "there has never been a … [Read more...]
Where Have All The Humanitarians Gone?
They have been trying to beat the dead horses that are the scientology public for money to buy empty buildings since Miscavige launched his "ideal org" boondoggle in 2003. More than 20 years later, this org has not managed to round up 50 "Humanitarians." I have no idea how many of these people are from Brisbane. Or even Australia. In the bottom left in blue is Trish Duggan. She is most definitely not Australian or in Australia. If this is all they can round up from across the world, it says a lot about the current state of the "Ideal Org" program. It has run its … [Read more...]
The All Ideal Wild West
The idiocy continues... The "Wild West" is going to become the "All Ideal Wild West" (as long as you hand over enough money). Not only that -- out of the entire western half of the US (and Flag) they have scraped together 338 "confirms" for this monumental event. The vast majority of those "confirms" are people who say they confirm just so they don't get 5 or more calls a day. The number who will actually show up for this latest fundraiser is likely about 10% of that. As a special treat -- here is the video she is touting. You can click on it yourself and see how many views and … [Read more...]
Episode 55: Ian Rafalko and Dylan Follo
We have a special treat this week. Leah and I talk with Ian Rafalko and Dylan Follo. Ian became an internet sensation when he posted a TikTok video about his father, scientologist chiropractor Eric Berg. His message has been viewed by millions. Ian met Dylan when they were training as auditors at Flag in Clearwater to return to their ideal orgs in Atlanta and NY respectively. They are the first people we have spoken to who have actually been on staff inside an "ideal" org and their experiences are pretty shocking. Ian's family has been torn apart and his wife chose scientology … [Read more...]
