Oooooh - a new status! Ambassador of Dissemination I don't think that this will be very desirable to the scientology elite without some precious metal or gemstone modifier or some sort of tortured pig latin. Silver, gold, platinum, emerald, diamond, maximus, laureate etc etc. Good luck Katie, you are the red-headed stepchild of scientology fundraisiung. Part of your problem is that the money has to be thrown away buying TV spots and nobody likes doing that.... But, on the other hand, perhaps he can get a post at a US Embassy (Palau? Andorra?) to "disseminate the tech in new … [Read more...]
The Ideal Translations Unit
The latest wrong source promotion from AOSHUK announces completion of the funding of the "Ideal Translations Unit." Who knew? I wonder where this "ideal" translation unit is going to be located and what it will consist of? Custom built desks? Marble floors? Computers with Google Translator hardwired onto the screens? And what on earth does AOSHUK have to do with translations? As far as I know they speak english in the United Kingdom, though perhaps they could translate their materials into Gaelic for the masses in the Outer Hebrides. But of course, we are now working on "the next … [Read more...]
SMP News
OK, here are some tidbits of interest from the Valley OTC meeting, focusing on the KCET Studios, combined with some information that has come in from several Special Correspondents. This facility has now assumed a new acronym -- SMP (Scientology Media Productions). It has fairly recently been integrated into the Int Liaison Office (a strange move when there has been NO CO ILO on post for some years, it is reported to be "held" by the CO CMO IXU). Part of SMP is Mad Hatter Studios -- Chick Corea's former recording studio that was purchased by Dear Leader as his handling for "getting … [Read more...]

The "new" Purif. Firstly, there is the MEST. There is no "secondly".... $14 Million later -- this is Orange County "Ideal Org" Looks like they can't afford to keep the lights on.... What a forlorn looking place. And how appropriate -- fundraising for the celebration of the anniversary of the OC idle morgue opening. The sun never sets on Scientology fundraising.... Hello there! I'm writing to you as the fundraising IC for the OC Anniversary party! Did you know that every year the OT … [Read more...]

Surrounded by Suppression Another must miss event. Daphna really has a bee in her bonnet about all the "suppression" that is around. Maybe she has a computer and googled scientology? Those SPs are everywhere, just waiting to pounce! Again, why is an Advanced Org resorting to promoting a seminar delivered by an FSM? Where is Julian Shwartz? Isn't he the expert on handling suppression at AOLA? Arise Sir Knight Yes, that is John Danilovich, Captain AOSHUK waving a sword. Apparently the latest status in the UK is to kneel before John who touches the sword to your shoulders and … [Read more...]

Here is the roundup of the ridiculous that doesn't fit in daily posts -- and there is a lot more that is left out and I try to avoid using anything that has appeared elsewhere. Gavin Potter Is Everywhere If this guy knows so much and is so good at telling everyone how to get things done, how come the Freewinds is regging public for money to buy fuel so they can sail? Money, money, money.... Michael Lewis is giving a seminar at AOLA (because they don't have any staff competent to do it) Wonder what his dreams were for his son? Really? This is the best AOLA can … [Read more...]

This is "All New" because "The Time Is Now" Sounds like the same old, same old to me... I would love to know what is "all new" about this? "We just pronounced it all new, so it is"? Sort of like the 25 anniversary of the Freewinds? And I would love to hear how GAT II has made building ideal orgs faster and more certain than ever! Must be why Orlando, Boston and Santa Barbara have taken off like rockets, heading for Target Two... Seems a little contradictory that ONLY an ideal org can properly deliver GAT II? Keep Those Cards and Letters Coming Some truly bizarre re … [Read more...]
