This is SICK. I doubt Heber -- who the church still promotes as its "President" -- will be in attendance for the opening of the "Ideal Org" in the "First Scientology City" (huh)? The gall of these people to put a picture of Heber on their poster -- when he is locked up and only allowed out for the funeral of his son (and only after Karen DelaCarriere shamed the church into it). He doesn't have another son, so I guess he isn't ever getting out again until its his funeral. Update: I did not inspect this poster closely enough and several have pointed out that the shot is in fact Leo … [Read more...]
We Put Up the Scaffolding — Now Give Money So We Can Start Renovations
Following is an exact quote from a new promotional email being circulated in Australia. "The Continental Commanding Officer briefed on where the Sydney Ideal Org is at on completion. And the latest news – the scaffolding has been erected on 201 Castlereagh Street!! We are all ready to go. Just need to very rapidly complete the funding so that we can actually start and be on target for renovation completion in December and Grand Opening in January." This just keeps getting more bizarre. Can you imagine that after 10 YEARS of fundraising for Sydney "Ideal Org" (which like Toronto is a building t … [Read more...]

Tel Aviv Ideal Org — Straight Across and Prostrate
From our Special Correspondent in the Holy Land. It's a shame so few are fluent in Hebrew. Still, I forward below a link to an Israeli web-site that gives all theatre and musical performances in Israel and option to purchase tickets. The site is called "habama", meaning "the stage". And now we have a new theatre hall in Israel, the "Alhambra". Sounds familiar maybe? Yes, it's the name of the historical building which is now the "Ideal Org" of Tel Aviv. David Miscavige purchased this building … [Read more...]
Hannover Org — Not Too Inviting… and No Straight Up And Vertical In Sight
Here is a new report just received from someone who visited Hannover "org." Maybe the massive international expansion is also bypassing Hannover? The main question that springs to mind after reading this that I would love to ask David Miscavige -- "I know you haven't a clue about the Great Middle Path, but have you ever heard of gradients?" Something between an empty craphole like this and an empty palace like Berllin would probably work out better for everyone. I know you don't like suggestions from me Dave, but I offer one anyway. Mike Rinder Here is my … [Read more...]
Newsflash: Cambridge Org is Now "Humanitarian"
The first org in the world is now "humanitarian". What an honor! Seems like the right amount of money can buy a status not only for anyONE but for anyTHING. I am not sure even the Popes of the Middle Ages sold indulgences to entire churches? And how appropriate it is to spread the largesse so well piloted for individuals to whole churches. No need to keep your ethics in/train/audit or DO any humanitarian work/good deeds -- just GIVE the appropriate bribe, payment, pay off er... donation and all will be taken care of. Then you can proudly … [Read more...]
Clicking for Dollars — UK Leads the Way
If you thought you had seen the bottom of the RCS begging barrel, just keep checking here for updates. I cannot even comprehend what else they will come up with.... Like watching a train wreck, it is both horrifying and compelling. One of our Special correspondents in the UK sent in news of an innovation being pushed by Tony Hollom ("OT8") and the AOSHUK OT Committee. Here is what she sent us: Basically it is a scheme which donates a small amount to a charity of your choice when you shop online. I've included the original email and a few images … [Read more...]
The New Miscavige Birthday Game!
Remember when the LRH Birthday Game was about giving LRH the birthday gift he wanted? Org Expansion... Well, like a lot of other things in Miscavige Corporate Scientology, there's a new sheriff in town and the organization is being modeled in his image. Of course, there is no grand announcement that "the old birthday game is no more" it's more subtle. Like "Command Intention" morphed from "LRH intention" to "COB intention" and Miscavige gradually assumed the role of "finder of lost tech" to "refiner of tech" to … [Read more...]
How Hot Is Texas? Lukewarm It Seems….
One of our Special Correspondents in Texas sent in this promotion. I have been receiving many of these sort of "Alliance" promotions, there has been a massive international "push" over the last few weeks to round everyone up. Some of the "alliances" are very strange -- the "Rocky Mountain Alliance" includes St. Louis (?) while Twin Cities is "allied" with Kansas City and Flag is "allied" with Puerto Rico, Orlando, Miami and Atlanta (Tampa Org and Flag are now considered the same thing it seems...) Sent out on the same day -- … [Read more...]
The Experience of a New Public
A report from our man in Brisbane, Australia. Brisbane, like Adelaide, Perth and Canberra (ACT) in Australia is not an “Ideal Org” and doesn’t even seem to be on the horizon for idealishness. This is the real state of the vast majority of Scientology Orgs around the world in this era of “massive international expansion, greater in the last 5 years than in all 50 years before, straight up and vertical like a runaway train on a downhill thundering avalanche of destiny unlike anything ever before witnessed in the history of mankind searching for answers on a … [Read more...]
