    this is one of my favorites ever – and the dictionary bit is priceless.

    I had the temerity to voice upset over having to re-do the St.Hat once again, I’d M9ed most of the tek before so “nothing was new”.

    The only bit I liked was the new dictionary. Oh, I had such havingness on it! I was able to squelch the internal questions about how using it for the course violated the HCOB Clearing Words.

    I was a master at Whack-a-Mole squelching.

    I’ve been curious about this for a while . . . Is Regraded Being’s work based on “real” issues in Scientology ?

    Maybe if you run enough loops around the glowing pillar you start meeting past and future versions of yourself you can swap moneymaking tips with.

    This dictionary is hilarious, RB.!

    “Learn anything with total certainly enabling you to display a high degree of arrogant certainty on any subject”, 🙂

    and then the definitions, but particularly “Self Determined: Person has donated over 100% of net worth.”

    Still laughing!

    I don’t think we’re giving “Suit Guy” enough credit. He knows it’s a sinking ship, but if he can thinknotize (I’ve decided to make up my own words to fit in) himself enough, then he can foolerise (another made up word) himself into hanging on. That way. when Dave strokes out, the last 1,500 can split the proceeds of all the land and building sales. At least that’s what he’s tellamatizing himself. 🙂

    Hi Mike,

    I have a few off-topic questions.

    1) The following document is an OSA statistic from Italy, covering one week.

    https://whyweprotest.net/threads/osa-statistics-in-italy-january-1986.112833/

    Was this kind of statistic maintained throughout the 1990s and the 2000s? Did you, as an internationally operating entity, also receive individual country statistics or only “continental” statistics? When you look at the number of threats listed on that document, would you say that this was a typical situation in a country where Scientology had been operating for a number of years or was it unusual, meaning the number of threats?

    2) The following is an Italian GO document from 1981, featuring an “Enemy list”:

    https://whyweprotest.net/threads/go-italys-enemy-list.108467/

    Was this tradition continued at OSA to have such enemy lists. If you had such lists at OSA Int, would they be in stuck in folders in a file cabinet or would they hang on the wall to inspire the staff “to get the suppressives”?

    3) When you came on post as CO OSA Int in 1994, who was considered Scientology’s then main enemy – on an international level and in the US?

    4) I suppose you had to do a weekly FP like anyone else in the world of Scientology. I suppose, as your unit would be located in the US, you used bank accounts at a local bank in LA? Is that correct? I also suppose that the money need to keep your operations going came from a SO Reserves account. If that was the case, do you know by any chance if it was transferred to the local OSA account from an overseas account? I know that SOR had accounts in the state of Luxembourg and they were used until the early 2000s.

    Thanks for anything you might know about these thins!

      1. OSA Int received reports like this from every DSA in the world every week
      2. Not heard of an “Enemies” list. It was a “Treats” list that made up the statistic
      3. I was CO OSA Int before 1994. I had moved to PPRO Int and returned to CO OSA Int in 1994. Don’t recall who the main enemies were then. Probably Ursula Caberta.
      4. FP is done by the org. Banking is done by the FBO. In the case of OSA Int the banking was done by Int Finance (they disbursed money to the FBO OSA Int(). No idea where the bank accounts were located.

    The funniest part is the dictionary. I remember running into the newly declared SP from the AOSH course room in the late 90’s?. Her name was Chris Stevens I believe. From Down Under. I think she told me that her mum was working on the dictionary pjt at the time and had been for a decade or so.

      No. But I was thinkin’ about his reference to security at the Shrine tomorrow……..

      Yo Dave,
      Howz about You good buddy. Hey, btw, I was reflecting on an old friend who is still in your sordid thingy, you know, that chat room where you git yer downstats to call for other peoples money and stuff, and she said she was goin to listen to all yer wins at the Shrine.

      So there will be at least one person there who really is not so impressed with yer goings on of late. So here is the deal ……………. how many clams will be in Your audience that really don’t like You but do what is necessary to remain in good standing because You have given them a Sophies Choice? How many Dave?

      Next question; how will yer spiffed up security be able to find them Dave? My friend says not to worry, she can sit down on the cans, lie straight to the sack checker and produce an Eff En at will. So I think the scene these days Dave is that You have fixed things up so well that You have got nothing but A Are Cee broken Eff Ens floating around everywhere. So even the still-ins are really out and You can’t tell the difference.

      Give em Hell at Yer fake party Dave.

      Yo OSA,
      You fellas are going to need to restructure some of Yer sack checking questions if you hope to catch all of those inney outies. Here is yer new IOR (Inney Outie Rundown) question of the day:

      “Have you ever said that you supported yer cherch when you were thinkin that you didn’t want to support yer cherch but you did what you had to do to get yer needle to float?”

      Go ahead and take it earlier and similarly to a full Eee Pee.

      ” Have you ever had the bognition that you got better leg exercise at a Cee Oh Bee dronefest that at the gym?”

      Youll wanna run it E/S to Eff En, bognition, and a blow with Vee Gee Eyes.

      Have a great event and remember to bring yer meter guys and gals!

                More like what you did in your party days over the weekends. In Dave’s case he goes door to door screwing everything that can fog up a mirror.

                Dave,

                You may want to put Joy on the cans before she enters the Holy Shrine tonight. She may be reading Mike’s and Tony’s blogs to make sure that she doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Omorosa.

    As an ex English major and one who loves dictionaries and thesauri, the sheer “gibberishness” of their invented dictionaries truly boggles the mind. And COB, the high school dropout and destroyer of the Briefing Course, is the self defined expert? Gimme a break!!!

    Mike, that looked like a great party last night. And especially since it was so very close to Scio Heaven! Must have pissed off one hell of a lot of people over there.
