Sacramento “Ideal” Org — Empty Like All The Others

January 15, 2023 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

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...]

Chicago Ideal Org Fail

June 14, 2022 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

  The "ideal org" strategy is so far off the rails it doesn't even resemble the original crazy plan when Miscavige announced it in the early 2000's. He proclaimed that orgs required large enough buildings to be able to deliver "all the services", including a Public Divisions space large enough to accommodate what I called his FART program (Fully Automated Robot TV) whereby staff would be replaced by videos to "explain scientology). I laid this out in some detail in a posting from 2015 entitled What Is The Ideal Org Program? Originally, OT Committees were supposed to raise the … [Read more...]

“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 72 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...]

Finally diving into @MikeRinder s “A Billion Years” - my third book by a former Scientologist this year. These are unbelievable stories that I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about

As I was saying yesterday (and as @TonyOrtega94 and @MikeRinder wrote), the Church of Scientology has a very big projection problem. They accuse @LeahRemini of supporting rape while the "Church" hires actual rapists to do their dirty work.

It's not ironic, it's just evil. https://twitter.com/TonyOrtega94/status/1639220372485619713

Tony Ortega @TonyOrtega94

Yesterday we told you about a disgraced former journalist who was hired by #Scientology to investigate us. Today we have an update on a disgraced private eye firm that was also caught stalking us and Leah Remini for Scientology. Where does David Miscavige find these cretins?

L. Ron Hubbard’s evil knows no bounds. See how he tells his followers to exploit a teenage rape victim. And how #scientology uses his edicts to try to destroy those exposing the truth and cover up its own predators. It’s chilling. @LeahRemini https://youtu.be/1OXKR1N5lNI via @YouTube

More nonsense from an official Scientology account.

All of this activity is being coordinated by an organization that calls itself a religion and has tax-exempt status. https://twitter.com/standmonitor/status/1638958996983013376
