By Mike Rinder Remember the FIRST “Ideal Org.” It was NOT Buffalo. Buffalo was bought with money obtained from a suit the church filed against an eminent domain action to demolish the old org building to make way for a freeway off ramp. But Buffalo did set the wheels in motion that unleashed Miscavige’s Masonry Frankenstein, now terrorizing cities everywhere. In fact, the first “Ideal Org” was Tampa. I commented recently that Flag was made “responsible” for Tampa Org by Miscavige. After the Buffalo building fiasco, he heard that Tampa was located in a strip mall, and that they were having … [Read more...]

Miscavige's Idle Fraud – Taiwan
by Mike Rinder Some of you may recall the Taiwan "Ideal Org" building, purchased by the IAS in 2005 accompanied by much fanfare and hoopla from POB himself about this being the first org in China. You may recall the CGI fly-through showing the grand lobby and the courserooms and auditing rooms. 100% smoke and mirrors. Below are some shots taken within the last month of that building.
