The IAS are renowned for their BS, but this one is a doozie. They "approved a grant" but they didn't spend it because they don't have any photos of anyone on the scene. Just a generic shot from the media of a flooded location. So, to give them the benefit of the doubt, I checked out their Twitter feed. A bunch of shots of the same 7 people, literally one after the other. This is the "team" for the displaced 500,000 people: For the largest private relief force on earth, 10 likes on their Twitter feed is a bit slim. Obviously they have not allocated funds to clickfarms for the VM … [Read more...]
Getting People onto The Bridge Through Narconon
Tonight at 8pm there is a special episode of The Aftermath touching upon the subject of scientology's front groups. Of course, the most well-know of them is Narconon, which is why it was so ironic that I was sent this a couple of days ago. Scientology says the "social betterment" organizations are NOT recruitment arms for scientology. Look at the first paragraph of this letter. Bobby Wiggins seems to have retired from his Narconon job and now is making commissions from persuading people to give money to the IAS. The irony of this is when he WAS in Narconon he had to scrape and … [Read more...]
The Golden Age Of Narconon
If they consider THIS to be the Golden Age of Narconon, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the "Golden Age" moniker... Never in its history has Narconon been confronted with so many lawsuits resulting from deaths and abuses at its facilities. At no time has there been the volume of negative media coverage Narconon boasts today. The reputation of Narconon is at its lowest ever ebb -- so much so that Miscavige has attempted to revive it by opening "model" "celebrity" Narconons that have flashed into the pan and then gone black as fast as their ribbons have been … [Read more...]
Narconon = Scientology
This is an interesting piece from the Auditor magazine, the official chronicle of all things scientology: "if it isn't in the Auditor, it didn't happen" is the their motto. This is from back in the day before there was a conscious effort to distance Narconon from Scientology. Today, Narconon claims it is NOT Scientology. Scientology likewise claims all they do is "support" Narconon. This Auditor magazine story reflects the true nature of the relationship. They are not just in the same family, they are siblings. Maybe identical twins. Click on the image to enlarge: … [Read more...]
Narconon and Google Trends
Why Bother really got the ball rolling... Here is some further evidence of the complete fail of scientology's programs. Though there has been a decline in interest in "Drug Rehabilitation" and "Drug abuse", the in interest in Narconon is virtually non-existent. There were a couple of hiccups back in 2005 and 2007, but otherwise it looks like a snake on the freeway. Even the negative publicity brought about by the lawsuits against Narconon has had no effect. You could substitute Narconon for "parrot" in the famous Monty Python dead parrot sketch and be entirely accurate. Once again, … [Read more...]
Narconon — It’s “ALL New”
Seriously? They are going to hold a "Ribbon cutting ceremony" for the "new program introduction." I wonder what the "new program" could be? It's one of three things: The new program is off Source as the existing one is "in tech" The new program is on Source and the existing program is "out tech." It's no different -- after all, it's just the Purif, TR's and Objectives and some Life Improvement courses. How do you "revise" these things that are "totally on Source" as was announced earlier? My bet is on number 3. Or perhaps option 4 -- who cares because it doesn't really … [Read more...]
Narconon – Introducing Them To “Our Tech”
The big push is on -- open the unwanted Narconon "celebrity/VIP" centers across the world so Miscavige has something to talk about at the IAS Event. This is the latest. Narconon Ojai... It's been a long time coming, but the heat is on now, because it's just a month til the IAS event. Tony Ortega first reported on it way back in April 2014 (where I predicted it would be a Celeb/VIP Narconon)... And while Narconon, ABLE and the church scream like stuck pigs when the plaintiffs in the numerous lawsuits filed over abuses in Narconon claim they are part of "scientology" and are controlled by the … [Read more...]
We ARE Responsible For Narconon Activities
This is not going to please Dear Leader. He is desperately trying to escape from HIS announcements that the church IS responsible for all sectors (yes, that INCLUDES NARCONON). Ruh roh. Someone needs to get fitted for a black boiler suit. BTW, love the "across it is entire geographic..." … [Read more...]
Recruiting For The Empty Ideal NN UK
A plea for recruits for Narconon. And every position on the org board is vacant it seems.... This UK Narconon Model Center is becoming very reminiscent of the UK ideal orgs. Empty rooms. Straight up and vertical, massive international expansion seems to have slipped by the UK too.

NN UK Plans To Establish PR Area Control By Taking Your Money
Really? Is there NOTHING that any fundamentalist scientologist does these days that doesn't require someone "donating"? And at full price for overstocked books they cannot unload any other way. Why on earth would they be trying to "establish PR area control" by collecting donations for books to give out? The books are certainly NOT going to handle the REAL concerns that people have about Narconon (or in fact ANY drug rehab center opening in their neighborhood, traditionally about as popular with the locals as opening an oil waste treatment facility or perhaps a nuclear reactor). This must … [Read more...]
