Imelda Marcos obsessively bought shoes, Miscavige obsessively buys buildings. Despite having a film and audio studio at Golden Era that contains hundreds of millions of dollars of buildings and equipment, David Miscavige felt compelled to buy the KCET studios in Hollywood. Gold operates at a tiny percentage of its capacity. But Miscavige has long wanted to "close it down" and has threatened to do literally dozens of times. He is of course "right" about this as he pulls out LRH despatches where he did the same thing, calling Gold the most unproductive org in the history of … [Read more...]
“Full Fundraising Completion For Maiden Voyage”
This is what they have been reduced to. Full fundraising completion... As a "product" to be proud of and "announce" at Maiden Voyage. Remember a few months ago they shifted the goalposts and the actual amount needed was "a little more than we expected." As if it were needed, it's another example of how off purpose the entire activity has gone. There is NO mention of doing anything about improving conditions in the environment or even for an individual. And amazingly, even the orgs that HAVE gone "ideal" are also all focused on this. They are not "clearing their area" or … [Read more...]
How About Some Iconic Ideal Spelling?
Seriously -- this poster only contains 24 words and they spelled two of them wrong, including the FIRST WORD (and ironically the last one). This must be evidence of the superior tech now available in the GAG II Student Hat. Or perhaps they rehired the SP's who originally messed up all the books with typos and bad punctuation? Or maybe this is the result of children who never graduated high school. Or most likely of all -- people that are sleep deprived. But someone should put in a policy of spell checking these things -- it's not like they have to be proofread. … [Read more...]
“Special Briefing” Is Euphemism For Bloodsucking Session

The Infamous NYC Stress Test
A quick report from a Special Correspondent in the home of the "ideal" New York org (and of course the invisible CCNY and the imaginary Harlem ideal org, and the non existent Missions). This is where the infamous "stress test" began -- pushed into a fad by Angie Blankenship when she and Jenny Linson were sent by Miscavige to "expand the org" so the ideal building could open -- 10 years ago now. And yes, he spoke to them on the phone AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY and sent them long, rambling written orders every day too. Warren McShane and Allen Cartwright perjurious deposition … [Read more...]
Not A Soul On The BC At ASHO Day
It seems Miscavige has turned his CGI into reality. He is forever showing empty buildings in his "fly-throughs" of ideal orgs. He is also continuously sending everyone BACK down the Bridge to "start over" or "redo" things. And of course pay for the pleasure even though he announces at these events that "some SP's" had screwed it all up -- but those "SP's" were the people entrusted with the JOB at the time. And while there have been many reports of empty courserooms (see posts here about the tour of Portland and the earlier one on Pretoria) this one takes the cake. According to a … [Read more...]
What’s It Really Like Inside An Ideal Org?
If you listen to any of the statements that emanate from the bubble, whether from the mouth of Dear Leader himself, or other minions, they shout from the rooftops how the "ideal orgs" are "the turning point in the universe" and "the salvation of this sector" and are "bringing about planetary clearing." Of course, everyone outside the bubble knows its garbage, but it isnt often we get this sort of report from INSIDE an "ideal org." And not just ANY ideal org, but the much ballyhooed "ideal org" in the "first Scientology city" -- Portland. You will recall Dear Leader yanked their chain … [Read more...]
The Kool Aid Drunks
Unfortunately, and embarrassingly, this email epitomizes everything that is wrong with the "OT's" who are the main Miscavige Minions keeping the illusion of ideal orgs alive. My brother is the poster child for KoolAid drunks. At the least, this is useful as it is the first time anyone has actually said that Dear Leader is venturing to Sydney. It was pretty obvious from all the indications (they would not be closing the street or demanding everyone have a "ticket" if any lesser mortal were presiding over the grand re-opening of the same old Sydney Org). What is difficult to figure out … [Read more...]
Ideal Vulturing
A Special Correspondent sent this in as a comment on the latest blog post, but I thought it deserved a bit more attention. I received this from Jeremy Arezzini, Portland Ideal org fundraiser and long time Registrar at Portland CC then Portland Org, also the guy who donated 1 million to Valley (?) ideal org, in their promo of a few months ago. I don’t know how a staff member came up with a million bucks to donate, besides his commissions from ideal org fundraising (?) Subject: Important Personal Comm From Jeremy Arezzini!

The Street Will Be Completely Closed
We would not want the undesirables getting a glimpse of Dear Leader, the Emperor with No Clothes. So the long-anticipated, joyous occasion of finally yanking the ribbon on this building that has been put there in order to move 5+ million people onto and up the Bridge, is being done out of the public eye.... Hardly consistent with the message "we are here and everyone is welcome" that they will tell the media and repeat endlessly on their website. Funny, I dont think the Australian media is going to buy it. Hell, I dont think the Australian public are going to buy it? "You want us to come in … [Read more...]
