Thursday Funnies have been postponed to Friday in order to update the happenings in PAC. I was out of town all day yesterday so didn't have a chance to compile the information sent in from various sources. This is clearly a topic of considerable interest and The Funnies won't lose their funny in a day.... Tonight (Friday) is the Big Spin presentation of "greatest expansion ever" news with the combining of two Day and Foundation Orgs and the wholesale "letting go" of the contracted staff of the Model Ideal Org. What is astonishing is that as long as ANY news is presented as … [Read more...]
EUS Alliance — Ideal Orgs Are Yesterday’s News
Now, this is really going to "get 'er done." That the CO WISE EUS headlined a weekend of fun-filled activities at "Flag" on how to build "ideal orgs" says it all. What a strange choice -- when the legal cases against WISE groups are filed, the church protests LOUDLY that WISE has NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION and THE CHURCH IS NOT INVOLVED. Surely EUS and Flag are not THAT short on anyone to speak that the ONLY person they could come up with for the weekend seminar was the CO WISE EUS? Or maybe they are? And what an exciting agenda it was -- team competence drills, a simple sales … [Read more...]
Ideal Orgs — Some Inconvenient Truths
A Special Correspondent in Australia sent me this latest promo piece on Ideal Orgs. It contains some startling information that may not be evident at a quick glance. But once again, they have hoisted themselves on their own petard. Apart from the obvious conceit that they are EVER going to get "ideal orgs" in Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane (first step is to get an ORG in those places, they have had part time missions for decades now and no sign of that changing....) what this reveals about the overall strategy in a simple graphic is pretty stunning. The "ideal org" strategy began in … [Read more...]
Sheer Idiocy
This missed the deadline for Thursday Funnies, but it is just too insane to be let go. It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about scientology today. The ONLY thing that is important is status. The ONLY thing that is offered is status. The ONLY thing they want is money. And even their phony made-up statuses, they will "discount" to try and get people to give more money now. You can ALSO be a Humanitarian With Knobs On -- but now you don't need to pay as much as the other people because we are more desperate. "For three days only, you can buy an authentic certificate to ha … [Read more...]
The Sad Tale Of Ideal Orgs
Things are looking grim in the scientology bubble. You likely saw the story about the "ideal org" in Boston that was covered in the Boston Globe and they didn't cover the full story by any means. The level of incompetence on display there is amazing. They could not keep their "statement" building because it was too small though it's never been maxed out -- so were ordered to sell it. They had a buyer willing to pay $20 million but they couldn't get approval to sell. When they finally got the go ahead, the market had crashed and they got $12 million but had committed to a larger wreck which … [Read more...]
Valley Begging
Pleaaaaaasssseeeee.... We have to get "Under $8 million"... This has to be the single most intensely focused and persistent fundraising campaign in scientology history. In the home of the largest population of scientologists on earth. Supported by Bart Simpson's cash matching everything they can scrape together, and STILL they cannot make a dent -- they have MORE THAN $8 MILLION to raise before they even start "renovating" their white elephant. It is a sorry indictment of: a. The continuously and relentlessly flogged dead horses that are the LA scientology field b. The … [Read more...]
Get Off The Scientology Mailing List
Imagine having this poor woman's job... But as a public service to readers here who may receive unwanted mail or email from scientology, she is offering her phone number so you can call "between 10 and 11:30 am California Timezone." It might strike you as a little strange for an organization that claims more than 10 million members to assign a single person one and a half hours per day to keeping their lists up to date, but this is apparently how easy it is "applying LRH tech." Xxxxx, I am Greta Molnar from the Church of Scientology International. I am working on a project to update … [Read more...]
More AOSHANZO News
Here is the pitch being presented to the local residents about the planned new AOSHANZO and CLO ANZO building. And it is clear now that they plan to move the CLO Offices here from the Dundas white elephant. But if that is true, they are being very dishonest about the hours they will be keeping -- everyone will vacate the premises by 10 each night? Not likely. I have never seen a "management" organization that did not work until midnight as their published schedule, all night on Thursday night, and routinely until 1 or 2 in the morning. It is also remarkable that they are publicly … [Read more...]
A Clear Portland
The ideal "ideal" org in the "first Clear city" is going to town on "clearing their city." 12 Clears in 9 months. 15 per year. Should have Portland wrapped up in the year 42,014. But frankly, they have probably produced more clears than any of the other "ideal" orgs. I would bet that there are "ideal" orgs out there that have not produced a SINGLE clear since GAG II. In fact, I would be it was the VAST majority of "ideal orgs".... Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought these two magnificent breakthroughs (GAG II and ideal orgs) were "making planetary clearing a reality"? Even if ALL … [Read more...]
Another One Bites The Dust
In the era of massive, straight up and vertical, 47X expansion in the wake of GAGII one could be forgiven for assuming that this would be most evident in the LA area -- "home to the largest population of scientologists on earth" according to the infallible pronouncements of Dear Leader. One might also assume that the boom is happening at the bottom of the Bridge with the massive international dissemination campaigns "sponsored by the IAS" and the enormous international dissemination center right there in LA, alongside the largest digital printing plant on earth at Bridge Publications and … [Read more...]
