Delusion Reigns

October 20, 2014 By Mike Rinder 113 Comments

These people are SO unreal.  Why would a “management org” in a new building be the turning point of anything? There is no contact with the public? It matters not at all whether they have old desks or new custom-built ones, concrete floors or silk persian rugs, bare light bulbs or crystal chandeliers.

This is simply the “fad” of scientology. What I now call the ideal syndrome.

And why no mention of the ribbon yanking being graced by the presence of Captain Miscavige? Has he reverted to He Who Must Not Be Named again?

BTW — a note for the UK contingent. Seems Dear Leader will be at SH for the rest of this week. Perhaps even taking some trips to London… Maybe he needs a shoe fitting at John Lobb.

CLOEU_GrandOpening

PS: These are the same “management” people that are SO important to clearing the planet that they are dispatched to make fools of themselves at LAX . Looking like extras from the set of The Walking Dead they demonstrated their value to society as only zombies can. Giving these people in “management” in scientology nice new offices is like giving starving, homeless people copies of the WTH after they have been struck by a tsunami. Some good food, a place to sleep and 8 hours of rest would do them FAR more good than new offices.

 

UPDATE:

A Special Correspondent sent this to me. OMFG!!!

The official scientology website has already put up the grand opening announcement of CLO EU along with PHOTOS. Here is a screen grab showing TWO of the photos, you can see more here.

Does anyone need more evidence that scientology photoshops in crowds of people at their underattended events than to have “photos” with “crowds” for events that have not yet even happened?

    Somehow I just knew I would be wrong,

    Being HCO not OSA, a total squirrel non standard group of thugs and bullies used by the Dwarf to carry out his nasty game.

    Still its a lot of fun reading the post Mike, I thought you woudn’t print it but you did.

    I still can’t get over this event photoshop flap. This picture is viral now even though taken down from the Co$ website. What photo are they going to use, if any, after the actual event? I can’t wait to compare the “Before Event” photo-shop with the “After Event” one. This is so funny! Photoshop ’til you drop, Cult! A high five to you and the SC for this amazing leak, Mike!

    Mike, that is so unfair of you to accuse DM of photo shopping events just because the photos came out before the event.
    Has it occurred to you that DM is OT and therefore at cause over matter, energy, space, and TIME ? He is a god! He can make the time track run backwards at will.
    In fact he is a legend in his own mind.

    As Mike mentioned, there was no talk about ribbon cutting on this event.

    Miscavige is probably scared the courts might get the idea that he was also the ribbon cutter on the Squirrel Busters activities.

    Well, well, well. If you look closely at the photo of “The Event that Hasn’t Happened” you will notice that the midget is not up at the podium. However, on the screen to the left there’s a silhouette of His Mighty Smallness with some sort of symbols to each side of him as if representing him as someone of the highest
    importance. On the other hand, nowhere do you see any pictures of Ron. Does this mean that the miniscule one has now replaced Mr. Hubbard as the new “Source” of scientology? Huh?

        I couldn’t find a reply button to Hallie Jane, but regarding the church refusing to admit that a good person is a declared SP when asked about that person, and then telling a half-truth by saying they are “dead letter filed” instead, and then proceeding to trash this person’s reputation with Black PR on him, is just cowardly dealing in 1.1 innuendo, entheta and lies. “This behavior fits in perfectly with the anti social characteristic of rumor mongering, gossiping and forwarding lies. Perfect merchants of fear, twisted to further the goal of keeping people isolated, in fear and in line. Sounds crazy to me!” You said it right, Hallie Jane!

    I’ve been reading all the comments on the ambush of Marty at LAX and can come up with only 2 ways that this ploy could have proved beneficial to David Miscavige and his cult, neither of which I thought of myself:

    1) As Marty said, an attempt to get him to take a swing at Mark Yaeger.
    2) As someone named Zzzzzz said on Marty’s blog, a trick and a fair game of Jenny Linson, Mark Yaeger and Bloomberg, Miscavige’s very public set up of them as rogues and SPs to be blamed for not only the Squirrel Busters but of lots of other things wrong a foundation being laid prepatory to their being thrown under the bus.

    What I also didn’t think of myself but with which I immediately agreed was what was opined by someone else about Miscavige electing Marty Rathbun as his executioner. And if this is the case, then David Miscavige is really off-the-deep-end mental now; that corner has been turned.

    Interesting! Very very interesting!

      This is off thread a bit, but a friend who is a declared “Special Person” said a friend contacted him to tell him that an org terminal told him that “So and So is not in good standing and is on the Dead Letter File list.” That is a half truth. The truth is he was declared and Goldenrod exists on him. Yet the org terminal wouldn’t admit that he had been declared SP to the public who asked about him. She trashed this person’s reputation to the friend yet never admitted that he was a declared SP for reading the blogs. So the church now is ashamed to admit how many people they have declared, and proceed to trash you to your friends by saying “not in good standing” and “…dead letter filed” and they get the same product as a declare: that of having your friends and business associates and family disconnect from you. This way they don’t have to admit how many hundreds of thousands of people they have and are declaring daily. Poor HCO can’t even keep up with the huge number of declare orders coming out. The church knows if they admit to how many good people are being declared, it would give pause to the remaining sheeple and it might make some decide to research on the internet.

    I know this is off subject but just to show some order of magnitude, the Jehovahs Witness’s in Australia total 64000 members according to the goverment census, tiny. See one of their events held recently in a Melbourne football stadium, kinda puts Scientology into a real perspective.

    Mike, I think you are missing the point here.

    There are no longer any LRH Technically trained staff left in Scientology.

    GAT1 and GAT II have put actual Scientology to rest.

    Anyone with half a brain or any guts has left the Org and is going it alone.

    The Ashmatic Dwarf with the escalating Napoleon Complex knows the only way he can keep the Ponsi scheme going for now is this “Must be Ideal Syndrome”.

    Scientology Orgs were delivering courses and processing in bulk for over thirty years.

    Now this vile Dwarf has incredibly managed to rewrite the entire subject so much that ones “status” as a donator receiving no actual servicea is what really matters in Scinetology

    If the people actually think its more important to give thier money away for a smart building instead of going up the bridge themselves which also helps others they are conected too, they have no understanding of the Dynamics nor of the actual subject of Scientology itself

    LRH valued auditors not buildings.

    I think we must realise this is never going to stop unless someone takes the Dwarf out for good.

    But even then surely the IAS reg next in line would simply take over and carry the torch or should I say carry the donations bucket.

    We should feel sorry for the Staff still in there desperately hoping it will change one day and things will work out and all be OK somehow.

    Deluded fools allowing themselves to be bullied by such a short madman.

      I am not sure what is the point I have missed?

      I would very much disagree that “actual” scientology has been “put to rest.” You can still read Dianetics. The Axioms. The Factors. The vast majority of technical bulletins and policy letters. The handwritten OT levels. None of this has been “rewritten” by Miscavige or anyone else? It’s just not a realistic view to somehow say “David Miscavige destroyed the materials of scientology” and it no longer exists. Some of the most abused parts of the subject, the ones that are used to harm people the most, have not been touched by him. They are pure LRH. SPs. Disconnection. Intelligence actions to destroy enemies etc etc

      I am missing your point still.

        Sorry Mike it was a attempt at humour.

        I totally disagree with your remarks about pure LRH being harmful parts of the subject, and this a bit of a liberty on your part.

        As the EX head of OSA you personally oversaw and implemented these so called evil policies on a daily basis.

        How many suffered I suspect as a result of your activities?

        When it suited the Dwarf he used the same policies on you and you didn’t like it one bit.

        Who would?

        Outflow=Inflow

        There is nothing wrong with the disconnection polices when you are dealing with a real SP.

        The fact that the Church misuse the policies for political reasons does not negate them.

        Of course when a family of a whale that the Church is trying to beach in order to feed IAS coffers get declared and disconnected from from proves the point.

        Tech gets abused.

        That does no mean the Tech is wrong.

        The think in here suggests you cannot disconnect or declare people, so why not go and have lunch with Charles Manson tomorrow he’s not really that bad.

        This thinking is total reasonableness.

        Before you reply about my telling people how to think, I am simply pointing out there is survival behaviour and non -survival behaviour.

        Of course some people think everyone is entitled to go on and on about Scientology and how bad it is “yip, Yap Yip”.

        Well they can just fuck off mate.

        why spend ones time harping on and on about how bad it all is, simply go away and study rocks or something.

        The rest of us should just proceed up the Bridge Standardly and get on with life.

          Wow. My objection was to your statement that somehow the tech has been destroyed by Miscavige — like the real stuff is no longer available because it has all been replaced. That is a different statement than “people abuse it.” Your rant is wrong targetted and assumes a lot of facts not in evidence. How many suffered as a result of my activities? Plenty. And I was a diligent and well trained follower of straight LRH tech. I didn’t learn it from anywhere else. I cannot even follow your argument here as it seems to be at odds with itself.

          Stop acting like you are being persecuted by anyone who disagrees with you.

          It is a very unbecoming victim trait that is used by the church and Kool Aid drinkers often.

          Nobody is stopping you from “proceeding up the Bridge Standardly and get[ting] on with life.” Nobody is making you read anything. Nobody is forcing you to agree with any opinions expressed by anyone else.

          And as for disconnecting, I agree, it is the ONLY solution when you are unfortunate enough to be in contact with a sociopath.

          But I don’t think that following the LRH policy that it is a suppressive act to refuse to disconnect from someone who is a declared SP by HCO is entirely a problem of misapplication. It is a problem of a shitty policy NOT open to interpretation.

    Well, actually, this is the first demonstration of the power that Miscavige has over the “T” in “MEST.” He used his super-theta OT powerz to send the photos back in time and post them on the web site so that we will recognize that he is the most awesome ecclesiastical leader anywhere, anywhen.

    Mike,
    Don’t forget about the Power of Postulates convention on the Freewinds. This is what happens when you complete the convention. I’m sure dear leader is just exercising his new found abilities which accrue to Him because He somehow created all that is wonderful.

    \Too bad for Him, this subject has already been covered in the Bible under “don’t lie, cheat or steal” but alas, that is just old school stuff and is background material only for The Cult..

    In addition to the ideal syndrome I think Scn has been suffering from an inversion syndrome. Where fundamental principles have been reversed:

    Theta is senior to MEST => MEST is senior to…well, everything.
    Lies => Truth
    DO => HAVE
    Reality => Delusion
    Going UP the Bridge => Going DOWN the Bridge

    Maybe its always been this way, maybe in my Kool-Aid stupor I never noticed it; but, now, actuality seems to be 180° opposite from apparency.

    My first Impression of the LAX Ambush

    1 Miscavige is in UK when he hears from his top CICS dogs that Rathbun is on his way to Los Angeles

    1a Remembers all the comments on the blogs about how terrible he (DM) looks
    1b Remembers how embarrassed he was when the judge said he never heard of him
    1c Remembers how terrified he was someone caught him on video without makeup and hair at Australia event practice
    1d Suddenly remembers Marty Rathbun and hides

    2 Misavige is already at Stage 4 Mad Man level so of course knows MR must be staging a coup while he’s away

    3 Orders End of World mission comprised of CICS to airport terminal to annihilate and smite Enemy#1 by:

    3a Screaming at Marty about how terrible he looks
    3b Screaming how embarrassing MR is to all the people who never heard of him
    3c Terrifying MR by springing his top dogs, 1 Australian, without makeup or hair done to capture his enemy, at least on video
    3d Suddenly remembering Marty Rathbun and run

    4 Learning that MR did not stage a coup, DM knows his magnificent plan was a success and goes shoe shopping in London

Does he think that Bob Duggan’s going to fork out for a Narconon as well as child support/Ideal Org funding? Will those Sea Org missions transition into Pretoria Org and staff there transition into the Ideal Narcofraud? I don’t understand how he thinks he can pull this off. Maybe someone with boots on the ground like you has a better perspective.

        Espiando, thanks for the kudos! 🙂

        Without doubt, the best placed person to answer this, would be Mike, himself.

        However, logic tells me that even the ‘altitude’ of Bob Duggan, or Trish, (the facilitator), won’t prevent the resulting ‘flashback’ arising from the current hoo-hah, from actually reaching them.

        Of course, agreements made (behind the scenes,) could further complicate an already complex ‘arrangement’, that may have legal implications, too.

        Not to mention the escalating media exposure, which can certainly become really ’embarrassing’ for the Duggan empire.

        Another fine ‘mess’, in the offing, resulting from contact with ‘Depraved’?

    It’s a clever shift in emphasis. Up to this date, they have mixed in Ideal Org building with IAS donations but this approach is somewhat flawed since no matter how people donate to the IAS, the Ideal Orgs are not going to appear. The “Church” is running off IAS donations now, since nobody wants their product of “auditing” or training to “audit” anymore. Now they run on donations and more than anything, IAS donations. The whales and the sheeple will at some point wonder where all their money has disappeared to when they see the lack of Ideal Org buildings so the shift in emphasis is to just plain “Ideal”. An All-Ideal world. An All-Ideal area. An All-Ideal continent. Nobody will know how the money or how much needs to be used to achieve that so they won’t mind carrying on donating and seeing nothing in return for it. And during that time, that money will just be used to keep the cult running. And it will continue down that path until the sheeple and the whales are bled dry as there will never be any fresh raw meat walking in the doors wanting to purchase “auditing” or training. Since there will be no fresh money coming in, the money has to come from those who are already victims. And lots of this money will be required to keep the cult running with the extra buildings they have to run and feeding and clothing that slaves that run it.

    The SO staff at CLO EU don’t look much better than the Ideal Fools at LAX. The phenomenon is widespread at the SO.

    So CLO EU is now “ideal” – which only means that the staff will have to spend a whole lot more time on CLEANING all the ornamented stuff – I guess their enthusiasm will be limited or of short duration. They know they need a different diet and schedule and decent living quarters (they are not good at EU!) – not a fancy office building (but David Miscavige needs it for his IAS speech – …. and how “everything ideal” ties in and how it was in the planning since … ).

    And don’t forget, everything “ideal” gets a NEW LOGO (some sort of spaceship style mixed with Rococo).

    Not even a bad show – a completely empty show.

    The “open house” will be a local event – org staff an Copenhagen public – plus the EDs of the EU Cont (mandatory) for some “target dishing out”.

The Dead Agent Video I was asked to watch re Mike and Marty, et al. screamed GUILTY … on the church’s part, that is. It was so dumb and juvenile.

    It’s amazing to me that these people are so detached from reality and the true nature of things, that they have no idea how stupid they look…no, actually, they have no idea how insane they look.

      Yes, sad is the word. Jenny Linson Devocht does behave like a deranged, snarling little chihuahua dog. She comes and snarls and barks the rehearsed phrases to be repeated over and over again at Marty, then runs off to be with her little pack of dogs (Yaeger et al), and then runs back to get in a few more insults at Marty, runs forward and runs back again all like an ineffective attack chicuahua dog. Sad really. And she looks bad, same insult that she hurls at Marty. And all I could think of when she said, “you aren’t important and no one cares… etc…,” I thought, “Oh yeah? Then how come Miscavige brought Yaeger out of the Hole and you two to harass him Squirrel Buster Style at the LAX airport?” Marty must be doing something important if DM would go to the trouble to sick these snarling dogs on him at the airport. If nobody cared, then nobody would have shown up to harass him. I hope Marty gives this tape to his lawyer and they use it in Mosey’s court case. It’s good evidence.

        My second impression of the LAX Ambush is based on Miscavige’s strategy of performing magic tricks and whatever is necessary to keep his wealthiest donors happy and indifferent. If the donation stats are straight down and vertical, and the whales are starting to ask questions, I can see DM having a panic attack and acting out like this despite potential legal repercussions.

        In light of the recent declares and leaks about members who used to be untouchables, is it possible some of them are committing unthinkable acts of thinking for themselves and reading about the Rathbun lawsuit and the activity they are unknowingly supporting?

        I can’t image the video they were filming will be shown to his wealthy customers given the obvious look of labor camp horror in their physical and mental state. Is this film for Sea Org at management levels who are seeing the stats continue to plummet. Maybe that’s why they’re being promised pretty new offices. What else were they promised?

        If the whales were getting wise and inquiring or complaining, who would they most likely complain to? Who’s private numbers are on the their speed dial? Is it Sea Org management?

        I can’t help wondering if this is all about Sea Org staff at management levels getting ready to blow en masse. If execs blow, juniors will be running right behind. It might also explain the new Narconons which are being promoted as training centers. Will these be manned by Sea Org staff who once relied on selling Basics to buy their smokes and pizza and now might get fat commission checks instead? This might just be wishful thinking on my part because I know if the Sea Org escape there will be no one to hold up the mirage.

She has an injunction preventing the church from harassment but Marty doesn’t and it looks like they found an opportunity when he’s away from Monique to remind him of that fact.

    Also, it provides the perfect ammunition for his name, blame and shame management style – every time CLO EU fails to achieve one of his impossible targets, he can rub it in that “I gave top facilities to you, you out-ethics ***************** and you still refuse to produce”.

        The main stats of the CLO are the 1) combined Cash/Bills ratio of all Scientology (Church) units (management units, orgs, missions and field auditors) in its geographical area and 2) the percentage of solvent Scientology units (see above) in its geographical area. “Solvent” in Scientology is defined is having more cash on hand than the combined total overdue bills (if there is 1 cent difference between the two, then the unit is solvent).

        These two are just the main stats – in addition to that, every division had 2 or 3 main stats. I still remember most of them if you are (or Mike is) interested.

        This just makes brings home exactly how brainwashed and beating down she has become. A good friend of mine who was in CMO Clearwater with her and her then husband Tom in the late 80’s, early 90’s era. He describes it as one of the few times in the SO where there was some fun, though they worked very hard. He said Jenny, who was 19 or so, was sunny and a practical joker, Her and Tom were very much in love and a good team.

        Compare that with what you see today and countless reports from others who have had first hand experience with her since 1995 as a first rate psycho bitch on wheels. Not to mention DM swooped in and destroyed the marriage of his ‘good friend” Tom by decided to use Jenny as a sex toy. After he was done with her he spent years torturing her at INT, requiring her to go a week without sleep and imprisoning her in the hole. DM has literally destroyed Jenny and created a monster. To describe it as a tragedy is an understatement.

But I am really wondering what it is that set them off at this point in time. Irony abounds in that little video, especially the SO Squirrel Busters dream team telling Marty he looks terrible, meanwhile front and center in the video is Jenny Linson looking like she hasn’t slept forever…she looks like a bag lady that found some better looking clothes in the dumpster and put them on.

      Jenny is a deranged chihuahua. Bloomberg looks like an concentration camp victim (how I looked in 2007). Yager looks like a bad makeup job to try and make someone look like a doddering old man. Could only think of the Rob Lowe ads for Direct TV:

      I think when the time comes to sell these mostly or completely vacant buildings the Church will not nearly get out of them what it cost to build and renovate them. However, since most if not all of the building purchase price plus renovations came out of parishioners pockets, the Church might still come out smelling like a rose. On the other hand, most of the whales now know about the scam so when they run out of whales, unless they start delivering a good product to their parishioners, the Church is bound to ultimately go into non- existence. It is already headed that way, and will not reverse itself unless they successfully apply their own ethics conditions formulas.

"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity
"It is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe." Thomas Paine
