(Article by Special Correspondent) The news is out that David Miscavige is loaning Scientology Auckland the sixteen million dollars needed to renovate their new "Ideal Org". This will follow up the ten million that they were loaned already to buy the building. There has been some speculation as to why he might do this, since Auckland is not exactly the "crossroads of the world". His constant companion Lou Henley-Smith is from Auckland, as is her large and almost entirely Scientologist family. So I would think that would be a factor. Perhaps another factor is that the new Auckland "ideal … [Read more...]
More Lies From The Bubble Exposed
The leaks from the bubble continue to expose the truth to the world. The "Ideal Org" program is an abject failure. It was "launched" more than a decade ago and is NOWHERE. Here are the facts that this email confirms: 1. The entire United Kingdom still only has ONE Ideal Org and that was paid for by the IAS as part of Miscavige's PR campaign. He told the IAS to fund it as he was trying to gain charitable status in the UK (different from religious recognition and something still not accomplished) but also used it to promote himself. Not one other org is even close. 2. In theory the London … [Read more...]
Pathetic In Pasadena
When the only people starting course in Pasadena are names I know from the 80's or even back to the Apollo years, and the services they are on are Student Hat, "SRD" and Purif it tells you everything you need to know about the "straight up and vertical" expansion in one of the premier "Ideal Orgs" in the center of the largest population of Scientologists on earth. They are probably the six people huddled in the one courseroom they turn the lights on in. These Ideal Orgs should be renamed Cannibal Orgs, because that appears to be ALL they do. (Perhaps a big pot could be set up in reception so … [Read more...]
News And Stats From The Bubble
A couple of recent OTC emails from the PAC area. PAC OTC is focused on fundraising (big surprise) for the "PAC Auditorium" and "Ideal PAC Base" (whatever that is -- "Ideal" has morphed into a new term in the bubble not even trying to pretend it has anything to do with the policy letter on "The Ideal Org" any longer). But this email also includes some stats that are pretty revealing. This is the PAC OTC -- the biggest concentration of Scientologists on earth (they claim in their stats to have 126 active members). And remember, "PAC" consists of "all" the Missions including the winners of t … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Countdown or Down For The Count?
Things are not looking too good in the Ideal Org race in East US. Even though they are sending out this "promo piece" to their public. 8 Orgs with ZERO points? Detroit, Boston and Miami (who have all PURCHASED expensive white elephants), are not even collecting enough to pay for the plywood to keep the windows and doors boarded up. (Remember, this is a POINTS system -- it's not equivalent to the number of dollars collected, except where the figure is 0. That is nada no matter what system it is). All orgs being ideal is truly an absurd pipe dream. And they don't even seem embarrassed to m … [Read more...]
Give Us Money So We Can Deliver The Purif
This is the state of "Ideal Orgs" in the UK. The guy in charge of "Ideal Orgs" is begging for money to set up a Purif in HAPI. Could it really be true that in more than 30 YEARS AFTER the release of the Purif, this org, still in the same building they OWN since 1968 STILL has no sauna? This is straight up and vertical expansion in action. And they are so hard up for donators in the UK they are trying to shame people into "completing before the end of the year" by announcing their partial donation and letting everyone know they will be the next "Humanitarian". Really this is just pat … [Read more...]
Real Stats From Inside The Bubble – It’s Grim
While the meaningless hype has hit the airwaves about the stupendous, amazing, incredible feats of the most important, dauntless, defiant, deviant force for planetary salivation ever in the history of everness -- We Are The IAS, hip hip hooray for ourselves -- there is something else that landed in my inbox that is far more interesting. Pasadena has been the poster child for asserting the instant straight up and vertical expansion that follows the ribbon crashing down on the assembled staff and hired extras of an Ideal Org "grand opening." From Craig and Sally Jensen to Tim and Rona Bowles, … [Read more...]
They Would Rather Forget This — the Big Ideal Org Lie
This is a fascinating look into the ever-shifting sands of corporate Scientology hype. J. Swift pulled this up from the Wayback Machine. I am sure a certain individual who cannot be named would rather it remain buried and forgotten. But unfortunately the small handful of bitter defrocked apostate unemployed bloggers on the fringes of the internet don't listen.... Back in 2004/5, COB's Ideal Orgs were the "big thing." GAG II was just a twinkle in the great man's eye at the time. Ideal Orgs were THE THING. Seattle ED Mark Arnold sent around a briefing to urge his people to get behind the … [Read more...]
What Does COB Say?
This really requires no comment. But I increasingly think many Corporate Scientologists do now believe that Miscavige is the reincarnation of LRH. What He says has the same force of command as anything from Hubbard. John P Capitalist sent this to me and also noted that the constant highlighting of the failure to complete Santa Barbara, Mountain View and San Diego (let alone Valley) has got to be a negative message. Surely it is striking people as just a little strange that in this period of massive international expansion, and 10 years into the "Ideal Org Program" that there are … [Read more...]
A Man Walked Into A Church of Scientology….
This is the story of what happened to someone who went into the New York "Ideal Org" this week. Not only was the place empty, he found out where they are getting "Sea Org recruits" from these days.... Captain Miscavige should be mighty proud of this, one of his most important "Ideal Orgs" (most important because Tom Cruise has an apartment in NY City, so might need to come in for something someday....) Hey Mr. Rinder, This past Monday, I visited the Times Square Church of Scientology org which is located near the Paramount Hotel on West 46th Street in Midtown Manhattan. I went in … [Read more...]
