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...]

Clearing the USA

December 9, 2018 By Mike Rinder 67 Comments

More scientology bubble delusion. Hey guys, just a couple of things for you to consider. All the orgs in the LA area are ideal (and there are more of them than anywhere on earth) -- how are you doing clearing the LA area? If you made a total of 100 Clears in the last year between all the LA area orgs it would be VERY surprising. And certainly nowhere close to 1,000. At that rate, you're not even going to clear 3 blocks around each org this century. You've got your NY, Harlem and Buffalo ideal orgs. How's it going clearing NY State? Florida is "fully ideal" -- even has Ideal … [Read more...]

Miscavige Ribbon Yanking Shrinkage

October 22, 2018 By Mike Rinder 53 Comments

With no fanfare or pre-announcement (scared of being arrested perhaps?), David Miscavige, the True Leader of scientology snuck into Stuttgart and yanked his ribbon. A month ago. He made a quick in and out dash into the danger zone of the Federal Republic of Germany. What is most remarkable is that they managed to get anyone at all to speak on a podium at a scientology event in Germany -- but the "dignitaries" were less than stellar, though they did present a problem in that three of them were quite tall.  Even with a forced perspective shot of his standing in front of them, size was … [Read more...]

Ideal Org Staff Pay

October 9, 2018 By Mike Rinder 114 Comments

Remember the infamous "You Can Have It All" campaign to join ideal org staff in Melbourne? And the "Every Ideal Org = 10X expansion" hype that has been going on for years? Here is the real truth about "having it all" on staff of an ideal org. This staff member at Pasadena cannot afford the rent for a ROOM. Remember, Pasadena is one of the early "ideal orgs" -- True Leader yanked his ribbon there in July 2010. It is an org that had big whales supporting it, Craig and Sally Jensen (what happened to them??), located right in downtown Pasadena (not in some industrial park) and enjoys one … [Read more...]

Not Making Planetary Clearing A Reality

October 3, 2018 By Mike Rinder 75 Comments

OK - let’s take a moment and take the planetary Clearing challenge once again. LRH proclaims it's possible, so it must be true right? Don't these amazing "no numbers" graphs prove it? They show them at every event and the sheeple seem to lap them up. Let's ask the experts: How DO you get 327 million Americans to cross the Bridge? How DO you Clear the planet? (not just "make Planetary Clearing a reality") Well, according to scientology postulated math, all you need do is make every org ideal. So, let’s look at the BEST ideal org. The “model” that was touted repeatedly by True … [Read more...]

Ideal Orgs and Front Groups

September 23, 2018 By Mike Rinder 62 Comments

More evidence that the pretense of scientology is coming unglued. Stevens Creek is an “ideal org”. It has been since 2005 (Miscavige “rededictaed” it in 2012 because they put new videos in the lobby and they try to pretend it’s only been ideal since 2012). There are three other ideal orgs within 50 miles. They should be well on their way to Clearing the entire Bay Area by now. Add to that the constant hype about the huge “4th dynamic campaigns” that are “salvaging the world” from the ravages of drugs, psychiatry and human rights violations and you can see the hype laid bare. They are … [Read more...]

Scientology Staff Headhunter Bonus

September 12, 2018 By Mike Rinder 90 Comments

This is a new one on me -- and also a reflection of just how desperate things have become inside the "ideal orgs." Why not offer the person who joins staff the $500? It will be the last money they will get from scientology, and they will need it... Instead they are giving money to anyone who can offer someone ELSE up to join staff (presumably they are too smart to do so themselves). "Hey, if you volunteer someone else for this suicide mission we will pay YOU good money." They used to give commissions for selling books and getting money in. Now they are doing it for getting staff … [Read more...]

Give Ireland Back to the Irish

September 5, 2018 By Mike Rinder 103 Comments

Somehow, the ONLY people who seem to be in the Dublin "ideal org" are from other countries. Now I will freely admit that I love to visit Ireland. It is truly a magical country and the people are wonderful. But why did Miscavige need to plonk an ideal down there when all there has ever been in Ireland is a bankrupt mission? And as the months go by, it is proving by its OWN promotion that it cannot get the Irish to come near its 10 million dollar vanity project. It seems the only people participating in services there are those who have been pilfered from other "ideal" orgs around the … [Read more...]

327 MILLION

September 4, 2018 By Mike Rinder 132 Comments

This is a VERY good question.... They just throw out the horrendous reality that they have to get 327 million people to Clear. Even though the vast majority of ideal orgs are in the US, those ideal orgs combined do not produce 10 Clears a week. Even if they produced 100, or even 1,000 a week (they would be going psycho if that ever happened) that is still only 50,000 in a year. The population of the US is increasing by 3 million per year. They are falling behind by 3 million every year, even though they keep opening "ideal orgs". The fact is these orgs are NOT increasing the … [Read more...]

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...
