We have seen in the Thursday Funnies a lot of mentions of Chicago's "Don't Miss" event on 11 February. Someone just sent me this video, obviously produced by SuMP. Methinks this is an awful lot of effort for a "local" event. Add to that the fact that they are not announcing WHERE this event is going to be held... "Venue TBD" These things would indicate Mr. Mickiewicz is planning on yanking his ribbon in Chicago on Feb 11. They are promoting it like crazy, but cannot say it is "the Grand Opening" because he doesn't want the outside world to know. Like the New Year's Event … [Read more...]
The Scientology Celebrity Centre “Network” is Rapidly Disappearing
Aaron Smith-Levin did a video about the recent closure of the "Celebrity Centre Munich" and the abandoned St. Pete "Life Improvement Center" opened by the Tampa "Ideal Org." As every good scientologist knows, it is a High Crime in scientology to close or combine orgs. Since David Miscavige has taken over scientology, there have been many other closures and "combinings" -- including St Hill Foundation, specifically started by Ron himself with a lot of policy written by him about why "Foundation" (night and weekend) orgs were needed. Because Aaron … [Read more...]
Sacramento “Ideal” Org — Empty Like All The Others
One of our faithful readers and contributors happened to be in Sacramento on New Years Day. She stopped by to check out the "ideal" org, and here is what she had to report: I visited a vibrant Sacramento on January first. Old Town was pumping with parents, kids, tourists and lots of young people. I went through the nearby more modern Disneyland-like outdoor mall. I detoured down an inviting staircase and found the Ideal Morgue. It was so dead. I looked in each area until I saw a lone staffer. We made eye contact, they saw my cell phone up and quick as a blow drill, some dude came … [Read more...]
4 New Ideal Orgs?
I included this Facebook message in my post yesterday concerning the fact that Captain Miscavige was at Flag on New Year's Eve delivering this briefing. I did not make mention of other significant things she mentioned. A new IAS status -- Patron Diamond Maximus with Honours. What comes next? They're running out of idiotic titles, every new one they come up with sounds more and more like a Monty Python skit. Another Super Bowl ad! Woohoo. They have been SOOOO effective. And the sheeple think they are being seen across the nation "A billion people watch the Super Bowl so that means a … [Read more...]
Chicago Being Manned With SO Members
This has become the new norm in scientology. Spend tens of millions of dollars to buy and renovate a building in a city with few scientologists. The inability to find staff to man the organization results in Sea Org members being sent to do so (Sea Org members can be ordered around to go wherever, much as they would like to be able to do so, they cannot order people to join staff). Dave Parker was the ED of Chicago org for many years. He started the org. Today he is not on staff. If it is SO important and the greatest thing ever, why not? Sadly, Sea Org members sent to these outer … [Read more...]
Chicago is Getting DONE!
Scientology sometimes sends out the most self-incriminating "promotional" items.... With a subject line "Yeah, yeah, I know -- I've heard that before!" it is pretty clear they recognize that everyone inside the bubble knows they tell one another an endless stream of lies about their accomplishments and what is coming next. And they repeat those lies over and over and nobody ever protests: "Hey, you told us the ideal org was going to be done in 6 months in 2010 and have been telling us the same lie every fundraiser since" -- but they do acknowledge the lies in a less forthright manner "yeah, … [Read more...]
The Beings of New Mexico Need This Building
Apparently, the beings of New Mexico need this particular building badly. So, you need to contribute to the motion and make a donation... This is the website link he mentions: This is what the building actually looks like -- perched out on the edge of the desert, far away from anything and everybody. I wonder if it has ever occurred to Fred Lemons or any of these other people that the beings of New Mexico don't need a building. If you believe what Ron says, they need the TECH. And that is available right now. To save lives. Improve eyesight. Cure cancer. Solve … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Revolving Staff
The problem with ideal orgs is not just finding the ridiculous amounts of money required to buy and outfit these empty palaces. It is also trying to find enough people to staff the organizations that are supposed to be within them. We have seen Sea Org members sent en masse to man some of these orgs. Columbus was pretty much manned entirely by SO members. Now Chicago is being manned by the other understaffed orgs finding and "donating" their "experienced" (meaning old) staff to the effort to try to man the org. But the grand promises of "a living wage" turn out to be lies. Many of the … [Read more...]
Vegas Strong?
According to the Las Vegas "ideal" org they are "pouring on the coals" in a massive dissemination campaign to get SOURCE distributed to create "PR Area Control." What is so amazing is that the booklets they handing out are NOT "Source." Hubbard specifically stated his name was NOT to appear on WTH booklets. Nobody who reads it knows who wrote it. The Drug booklets are absolutely NOT written by Hubbard. They could hand out Source writings from Dianetics -- his thoughts on alcohol, marijuana, opium, phenobarbital and ammonium chloride. But that would be contradictory … [Read more...]
First Ideal School?? WTF?
First it was orgs, and Miscavige reinterpreted the Hubbard PL on "Ideal Orgs" to be a large, renovated building. Of course, there is nothing about this in the policy letter. Then it was Missions who were supposed to be "ideal." That Mission in San Francisco that Jenna Elfman opened was the first one I think. Or maybe it was the one Lisa Marie and Isaac Hayes did in Memphis? Or Kirstie's in Wichita? All of these are empty shells today. There have been a few others since then, but generally the Mission network of scientology has continued to shrink despite Miscavige's infamous … [Read more...]
