“Ideal Org” (In)Activity

April 17, 2021 By Mike Rinder 50 Comments

  We always say these so-called "ideal orgs" are merely empty buildings masquerading as viable scientology organizations. Perth keeps putting out "briefings" that prove this in their own words.   Just think, Hubbard said the MIMINUM to be "viable" and "above the make-break point" was for an org to achieve the size of Old St Hill. Not a single Class V org has stably achieved that status. Just as an idea of what this means, it requires at least 100 auditors in training in the Academy and 1000 auditing hours a week. This would translate, conservatively, into 25 … [Read more...]

“Space Is Limited”

March 21, 2021 By Mike Rinder 71 Comments

  It seems we have heard this song before.  This is a MUST-SEE that has been out now for a couple of months and all 10 people the are active scientologists in Sacramento saw it the first week it was released (this is the video of the amazing photo ops of spraying Decon 7 around in various locations and handing out booklets on social distancing). "Space is limited" is completely wishful thinking. How ridiculous? This is a promo piece produced centrally and sent out to the orgs. They add their image at the top and email it to the sheeple. Below is a different version of the same … [Read more...]

An “Ideal Nation”

March 20, 2021 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

The farce continues. These people continue to believe there is something of value to having an "Ideal Nation." That achieving this will be a "victory" and is something that is important to "race" to accomplish. What they mean is that all EXISTING Orgs in the US will have a newly renovated building. They have been going on these kicks for some time about "An All Ideal California" or "All Ideal Florida" as if this represents a great advance for mankind. Their "victories" have been meaningless. As I have said plenty of times here, there are already "ideal nations" where the existing … [Read more...]

Toronto Files Fail

March 13, 2021 By Mike Rinder 73 Comments

OMG! Toronto is thinking about finishing their files. Like every single org on earth, they are incapable, even in this age of computers, of keeping their paper files up to date. They probably have millions of pieces of paper lying around unfiled since the 70's and now, 20 years after the "ideal org" evolution began, they are going to handle their backlog. One might ask the question, what have they been doing for 20 years? One of the only orgs on earth that was not required to buy a new building in order to become "ideal" they have sat frozen in time since 2003 unable to raise the money … [Read more...]

Scientology Shuttering

March 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

Here are the comments people sent in yesterday about the state of scientology orgs in their local area. If you have a minute and can contact your local org, I will add it to the update. So far, everywhere seems to be closed except Flag (not sure about the other Advanced Orgs). This is catastrophic for the scientology empire -- the longer staff and public are away from the control mechanisms exerted on them in the bubble, and the more bored they get, the more likely it is they are going to come across something on the internet or TV that is going to start them down the rabbit hole of … [Read more...]

The Sad Tale of Jobur Ideal Org – Update

July 24, 2019 By Mike Rinder 63 Comments

Back in 2014 I did a post entitled Lights Out at Jobur Org. It chronicled the demise of this, the FIRST ideal org. In the time-honored tradition of scientology promo piece illiteracy, they had previously announced their 10 year anniversary with a typo in their own name -- thus the use of "Jobur" in subsequent posts at this blog: Now, we are coming up to 16 years of operation of this first, model ideal org. And they have just sent out a new promotional item -- and this one has no typos. But it does contain a couple of startling facts. This is the largest org in Africa. A … [Read more...]

A “Fact” to Wonder About

July 7, 2019 By Mike Rinder 65 Comments

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...]

The “Elite” Team Fail

June 25, 2019 By Mike Rinder 86 Comments

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...]

St Louis Blues – An Epic Ideal Org Scam

January 9, 2019 By Mike Rinder 93 Comments

In truth, every "ideal org" is a scam -- but some are scammier than others. Boston comes to mind. New Haven and Battle Creek that have sat empty and neglected for more than a decade. But St Louis might be the greatest scam of idealiness of all. In terms that scientologists can really relate to -- it is epic, monumental and watershed. Here are a few relevant details: In 2007 scientology bought a new building that was to become their "ideal org."  In 2010, the org ED, Chad Lane, announces in the St Louis Post Despatch  * "the nearly 65,000 sq.ft. building is the ideal size for expansion in … [Read more...]

Detroit Ideal Org Fail

December 22, 2018 By Mike Rinder 56 Comments

Ok, this is an “ideal” org.  According to scientology this means instant “10x expansion.” This is the promotional piece they put together to let everyone know what a great job they are doing. Notice anything missing? The biggest crowd they can apparently manage is 10 people in the chapel -- staff and public combined. And always great to see a kid looking at the pictures of the fake people in the org mag... This is the REAL result of the ideal org program. Same people. More real estate holding. … [Read more...]

@LeahRemini If you are buying a ticket to a Tom Cruise movie, you are giving money to Scientology. If you are giving money to Scientology, you are supporting a cult that pretends to be a religion, whilst stealing people’s money and ruining lives. Don’t do that. @LeahRemini @MikeRinder

This is the country that never ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which is shameful.

The time has come for elected officials to pass legislation to actually protect our children from senseless gun violence. All of us failed them by letting politics and lobbyist dollars take precedence over safety.

CHILD USA mourns the loss of 19 children and two of their teachers. It is time for all of us to unite so this never happens again. We stand for laws that protect children's safety from violence including common sense gun reform.
