There are so many odd things in this promotion. How strange that one of the oldest scientology organizations on earth is incapable of achieving Ideal Org status without getting orgs in another country to help them do it? Tells you everything you need to know about the state of scientology in New Zealand. Dead. For decades. Why aren't the "ideal orgs" in Sydney and Melbourne getting Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Canberra to ideal? They're at least in the same country and a lot closer. And woohoo -- Stev Green is going to join the long line of "upstat public" who will join staff and … [Read more...]
Atlanta Ideal Org Ribbon Yanking: The Real Story
Scientology wasted no time putting this photo (and a bunch of others) onto their website. After all, this is the pinnacle of David Miscavige's (and thus scientology's) accomplishment. A "new org" is opened. This of course is not true, it is just a new building for the same old org as they all are. Scientology has not opened an actual new org in the last decade. Not a single one. I think Kaohsuing in Taiwan might have been the last one -- but that was long before the "new building" was opened. This is the big lie scientology tells its sheeple and the world. Their new … [Read more...]
Atlanta Ribbon Yanking Panic
They are terrified they won't have enough people to put in the shots of Dear Leader yanking the ribbon in Atlanta. Even though the call has gone out to every org in the US that they had better show up, they are making sure there will be "bodies in the shop" by shipping "OT Ambassadors" from Flag. This is a luxury trip -- driving through the night from midnight til 9am to get them there in time for the video shoot. Smile for the cameras. Stand around for a few hours. Tour the empty building. Then leave again at 5pm and arrive back after midnite. Not anyone's idea of an all expenses paid … [Read more...]
Basel “Ideal” Org
This is one of the most recent "ideal orgs" on the planet. In fact, according to scientology, this specific org is the fastest growing org on earth over the last year. It is also a perfect example of what these orgs really are. Empty buildings accomplishing absolutely nothing once they have had their choreographed and video'd ribbon-yanking. After the video is fed to the sheeple as the "proof" of "international expansion" the empty building is left to sit like an abandoned military base. This is true for "ideal orgs" in large cities like London, NY, Rome and Moscow just as it is in small one … [Read more...]
Vulture of the Valley Resurrected
Quinn the Eskimo has been resurrected from the dead and is back in the Valley. Probably been doing some MEST work for a few months, but the stats got worse in his absence, so like a zombie that can never be permanently put to rest, heeee's baaaaack. Now certified as the largest ideal org on earth!! These people just don't understand the meaning of the things they promote. This is the largest org in the largest concentration of scientologists on earth. A dozen years after the "ideal org" program was announced as the most important strategy on earth, it is STILL NOT DONE. What does that … [Read more...]
The Never Ending Story
This just made me laugh. It is AWESOME and INCREDIBLE news: Tampa has completed through the letter "C". Standard Admin at its finest as demonstrated by one of the oldest ideal orgs on the planet. … [Read more...]
Still Milking It After All These Years
There is apparently no limit to the hype. "You gotta see this to believe it... The FUTURE really is now. Seriously? And what do you have to see that is the future now? SPOILER ALERT! Miscavige announcing the "imminent" opening of KCET. You got it right. Things have gotten so bad that he is AGAIN announcing the imminent opening of KCET. It's already been shown and endlessly pitched and the "Big News" for the March 13th event was something that is "going to be" done. In fact, if you look at the scientology.org website, it tells you everything you need to know and even … [Read more...]
The Missing St Hill Size Orgs
In March 1982, with great fanfare, L. Ron Hubbard issued a "game" to all scientology orgs. They were to 5.4X their stats and "achieve the size of old St Hill." When this was accomplished, Hubbard promised the staff would not only be well paid, "International Management" would send them a "Universe Corps" team so all staff could "go OT" in their local org. This was a really big deal -- these were the "buttons" of staff. It was impossible to live as a staff member without additional income and it was even more impossible to save enough money to travel to an AO and partake in OT levels. Life as a … [Read more...]
Channels Onto “The Bridge”
Scientology repeatedly denies this, but here it is in black and beige. The "Director of Clearing" of the Portland "ideal org" is proudly announcing how the "4D campaigns" (anti-drug, education, WTH, human rights, Volunteer Ministers) are really "dissemination tools" to get people into the org so they can be "closed" to buy scientology books and services. They are even conducting a seminar on "how to disseminate with these campaigns." The truth is these campaigns are ONLY supported for two reasons: For photo ops to try to present the image that scientology is selfless and provides … [Read more...]
Fundraising Forever
What you see below are 4 letters asking someone in Clearwater for money for Orlando "ideal" org. All 4 of them were put into one envelope. Apparently the Orlando org does not have enough money to mail 4 separate letters. Nor do they have money for letterhead. Or anything but the cheapest paper and envelopes. Yet, after years of begging for money and failing, they were just given a new building. A building they don't need. A building they cannot afford. A building they couldn't even fill if they took everyone who has EVER been on staff and everyone who has EVER taken any scientology … [Read more...]
