4 years ago, David Miscavige turned LA Org into the "model" ideal org by importing 200 Sea Org Members and turning it into a "Sea Org" org (specifically not the model for orgs around the world...) This is supposed to be the shining example of what a Class V organization could be (if manned with 200 SO members)... They have just sent out an announcement celebrating 4 years of model idealiness. The idealiest org of all has 200 staff working a Sea Org schedule, 9am - 11pm 7 days a week and produces 665 "Clears and NED Case Completions" in 4 years.. Let's just call this 600 Clears … [Read more...]
A “Fact” to Wonder About
A new trend in scientology "promotion" is for orgs trying to "go ideal" to promote the virtues of their cities. They seek to recruit people to man these "ideal orgs" from other areas of the country and presumably other nations. There has recently been a competition of sorts between Columbus, Austin and Kansas City over the virtues of their respective cities, ranging from the number of fountains ("more than Rome") to proximity to vast numbers of people ("within 600 miles of 50% of the population of the US) and of course "best BBQ" or "live music capital" or "lots of universities"... It's a … [Read more...]
We ARE Going St Hill Size in 3 Weeks For SURE
I just happened across a copy of this letter from February 2015. This was the big push to try to get a St Hill Size org for March 13th. There hadn't been one for more than a decade (and there still isn't one today -- importing Sea Org members to man LA Org doesnt count, nor does sending Sea Org members to Africa to man a new "AO") and this was becoming embarrassing. So a "12 man Sea Org, Saint Hill Size Mission" was sent in to ensure it happened. They failed. Obviously. It didn't get announced as SH Size in 2015, nor in any year since. And anyone who has been by the Pasadena … [Read more...]
Atlanta Is Going to Die Trying
Remember these posters above featuring Atlanta as the exemplary "ideal org" that had expanded by 10X upon having its ribbon yanked? Well, here is the REALITY ... We have seen a few of the "Letter Reg" letters from Atlanta over the years. This is just the latest. It comes with a bit of back story that indicates the desperation level of this empty org. The recipient of this letter, Doug, was only at Atlanta once in his life for about 3 days. They have been chasing him for YEARS, trying to “recover” him. They don't even know his LAST NAME! Yet, still they pursue him all … [Read more...]
The “Elite” Team Fail
One of the first "ideal orgs" was San Francisco. Dear Leader yanked its ribbon way back in November 2003. That is nearly 16 years ago now... They're still at it -- trying to get themselves to St Hill Size -- calling themselves an "elite" team. As if this makes them so. It was the same tune two years ago -- though they were a little more overt: Of course, they may STILL be the "next" org to make it to St Hill Size, because there hasn't been one in the intervening 2 years... But then, we remember this. From 2006 -- the SFO Org magazine "Gateway": And … [Read more...]
An “Ideal” and “St Hill Size” Org Struts Its Stuff
Presented personally by Mr. David Miscavige with both "Ideal Org'" AND "St Hill Size" status, Joburg org epitomizes the pinnacle of scientology organizations on earth (not counting the artificially inflated Tampa Org that is home to the many Flag rejects and people trying to avoid Flag registrars). And here we see what they are so proud of: 2 Clears in one week and one person “flying through his training” — apparently they didn’t have a single course completion to announce in the same week as the 2 Clears. This is the best. of the best. And compared to other scientology orgs, it is. … [Read more...]
Battle Creek BS
The bs just keeps rolling when it comes to the "ideal orgs" campaign. The small, failing org that was originally in Ann Arbor, Michigan has never been more than a tiny mission. This “ideal org” story begins back in 2001, even BEFORE the official launch of the Ideal Org program. They were unable to pay their rent and had to move. A building was on the market in Battle Creek for cheap. This is a small town 50 miles west of Ann Arbor (which is on the outskirts of Detroit metropolitan area and is home to the huge University of Michigan) in the middle of nowhere. Battle Creek only has a … [Read more...]
Harlem Ideal Org Massive Fail
Harlem was opened as an "ideal" org on 31 July 2016. That is 3 years ago now. In that time, they have made 40 Clears. Forty. A little over one every 4 weeks. And according to them this is "BIG" news at the #coolestorgontheplanet. Well, hell, if they are doing so well and are so cool, the standards have dropped pretty low in the world of scientology. They're not going to be Clearing NY any time soon. In fact, they are going backwards on achieving that goal. Slightly modifying someone's adroit recent comment: this is like jumping over the sofa and declaring … [Read more...]
Kansas City Corn
It's a Disney dream from the deluded bubble-dwellers in Kansas. This is absolutely bonkers. Walt Disney spent time in Kansas City, so you should join org staff to make an ideal dream come true. What's next -- "the Kansas City Chiefs were good last year, but they need to be pushed over the top to make it all way. So join org staff." Or, "We are famous for our corn here in Kansas, so join the corniest team on earth?" Meanwhile, in Los Angeles the STAAD League are protesting outside Disney HQ because they are such "bigots"... Scientology has a hard time keeping their stories … [Read more...]
California Dreamin’
The big push is on for an "Ideal California" -- as if this is going to change anything... The fundraising promotional pieces are coming hard and fast. Below are just a few from the last week. What is so incredible is that these people think that the last ideal org in California is going to make any difference to anything or anyone. Think about it. The third "ideal org" ever is in San Francisco. There are "ideal" orgs in Sacramento and 3 others in the Bay Area (Stevens Creek, Los Gatos and "Silicon Valley" -- remember when they were going to take over the world because they were … [Read more...]
