Oh Regraded Being… you make me laugh, you make me cry. You make me want to give this to all the Sea Org and Public. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing you every Friday.
Very funny RB – Its hard to know whether to laugh or weep! I am now extremely curious to know who you are. Is it a secret or can we know? Even a hint? (No pressure, if you prefer to remain RB :).
Hi Wendy. It’s not really a secret, I mean, even I know who I am.
This is more like a game that I learned from observing some of the people from OSA.
It’s called “Keep ’em Guessing”. ( I heard COB wrote the rules)
They play with different objectives than I do. They want to keep you guessing at things like;
Are my parents (or children or spouse etc.) really SP just because they don’t agree with COB policy?
Is my money really being used to help mankind?
Why is my Org empty when I keep reading about unprecedented expansion everywhere else
Why do all these OTs have so many health, financial, marital and general life problems?
Why does nobody stand up and speak for the Church against these recent media attacks?
If we’re truly being slandered, why don’t we sue somebody?
Why do the Scientology celebrities allow themselves to be ridiculed just for being Scientologists?
Why does our own website only present what sounds more like natter instead of facts against our enemies.
Why does COB hide from the media?
Why am I repeating actions that were supposed to give me “wins for life”?
Why aren’t we seeing new public streaming into our Ideal Orgs?
I think you get the idea. This list goes on and on across the Dynamics.
As a good Scientologist you have to guess the right answer to all of these without asking anyone.
If you get caught asking, you’re penalized with an enlightening Sec Check.
If you discover the ‘Right’ COS answer you’ll find yourself wanting to move up in one
of the many status games that are also being played.
My game is more fun. I like to keep our friends at OSA guessing at things like;
Is RB really a Scientologist or just an informed WOG?
Is RB a male or female?
Is RB someone who’s been declared?
Is RB more than one person?
Is RB still in????????????
Is RB someone with family still in?
Is RB someone who actually knows or knew COB?
Is RB Sea Org or ex-Sea Org. ( or OSA)
Is RB getting paid to slander?
Is RB really talking with people still in?
Again, I think you get the idea.
Anyone in or out can play this game. If you guess a right answer, RB will treat you to
Starbucks should we ever meet.
It’s really a silly game because it’s so easy to win.
Regraded Being is anyone and everyone that has seen through the lies presented by the
Church of Scientology and has spoken out. You have told you stories in books, blogs or media articles. You’ve written your poems, made your films and sung your songs depicting the abused being committed in the name of religion.
Some have told the world and some have spoken to smaller groups while some have only shared
their views with only one or a few people.
Regraded Being is every name and alias you see on Mike’s blog including the OSA trolls.
(even they see the truth and create reasons to declare otherwise)
So Wendy, I hope you enjoy playing the game and feel free to tell others
(with a smug smile) that you know who Regraded Being is, then shake their hand while
you gesture to them to keep it a secret. Shhhhhhh.
I can NOT begin to tell you RB how much you light up this dismal world of Scientology to all of us. You continue to amaze me every time I see your amazing work. Thank you so much for your sharing your talent. You are appreciated more than you will ever know.. Baby
Je suis RB! Understood – and I agree if they can play with us with the “Where is Shelley?” we can play with them with the “Who is RB?” (You’re not Shelley are you?……lol)
“It is a telling commentary on downtown Clearwater’s desire to be known as something other than the silly make-believe navy sailor suit capital of the world that the city’s fathers found themselves relying on a famous dolphin to blunt the influence of the Church of Scientology”.
“And since Winter is estimated to be about 9 years old, she could have as much as 20 more years of life before the aquarium would be forced to — ahem, cough, cough — find another equally handicapped dolphin to take her place in the fish tank.
And let’s all acknowledge the 800-pound Operating Thetan in the room that the massive presence of a mysterious, controversial “religious” organization in the middle of Clearwater certainly had to give many potential, deep-pocketed donors pause”.
David Miscavige is obviously the third party in all of Tom’s affairs. The Church becomes the third party in the family, the work place. It is never “over there”. It is always right up in your bedroom. Whatever you do in your bedroom, there is an org right there under the sheets with you. Where ever you go, whatever you do, everyone from the Org is right there with you, watching you. It has become the culture of voyeurism under David Miscavige.
Oracle, How does DM get away with this abuse day after day? No comment from him zero? I think he is in hiding and scared to death as Tory says Tick Tock.
+1 and when you catch a security guard going through your personal effects in your room at the Flag base, they tell you that he was just making sure that housekeeping is doing their job.
Wold not work. They would get the signal , but without a dish of their own they would not manage to send a signal back. wifi is a two way communication system 🙁
Antenna gain applies in both directions, receiving as well as transmitting. If they could receive the access point, the access point could receive them.
Passive antennas have the same transmit and receive gain, so the incoming and outgoing signals would both be boosted the same amount.
It’s usually *cheaper* to put medium-large antennas on both ends because the gain is the product of the two effective areas. But in most cases you can get the same performance with one small antenna and one really big one.
However I must advise against trying it, it would be difficult to do legally (FCC certification required, I think, although this is not my area of expertise). If done on a guerrilla basis Int would probably spot the installation and remove it within a few days, not to mention they’d report you if they figure out who did it.
FCC certification: there are off-the-shelf antennas that are already certified, and it would use standard transmitting power. A technical end-run is to use a stock usb wifi adapter on a cable and mount it in the focus of a dish. I think the FCC is a non-issue.
For placement, the idea would be to find a neighbor that they’ve pissed off who has a spare hill and will let you use it. If they want to trespass on private property for their transmitter hunt, well…
Alternately, wear the access point during a protest outside the gates.
I’m sure the first response would be to lock up all the laptops and smart phones at Int, if there are any, so it might be a pointless stunt. Still, if someone at Int is now going to be tasked with continuously watching for rogue access points, these comments were not wasted.
Unfortunately, anything that close would soon disappear, especially if they were watching you put in up.
I’m currently assembling a Raspberry Pi in a can with a battery pack. Plug a usb wifi adapter in the top, press a button, and in 30 seconds, I have a subversive access point with website.
Maybe it’s time for another hike through AOSH Canada…
Excellent Rick! I wanted to get a Rasberry last year for Christmas but couldn’t as they were out of stock. BTW aliexpress.com has some good integrated solar/recharge battery set ups for that “internet in a can” you are working on…
Why not park a van with ‘Free WiFi Access for Sea Org Members’ painted on the side on the side of the highway, right by the main gate. Then watch security freak out.
Great way to make sure everyone one on base knows about the free WiFi!
Absolutely right. The Regraded Being Coffee Table Book would provide hours of enjoyment and stimulate conversation when entertaining guests. it would definitely look attractive prominently displayed in major bookstores throughout the country, in Clearwater Florida, for instance.
If Regraded Being was to agree, we could have fake Regraded Being books all over the place faster than David LHD Miscavige can RPF the Sea Org droid that spills coffee on his pants.
Or a calendar! A Regraded Being Desktop Calendar. Tear off a page every day.
Regraded, out of all your funny stuff, what gets me where I live is that image of Him at that huge desk with only the top of his head showing. I don’t know what it is about that but I look at it and can’t stop laughing.
Thanks so much for giving us these laughs every Friday, Regraded.
ROFL! Chill EB getting his idiot ass kicked with humor again. 🙂 His rampage in twitter was highly amusing, I think I was like the 10,000th person he blocked. 🙂
This may have looked like a joke, but the foul mouthed adjectives were daily used by RTC Reps when asking staff to do something: you MF, you A***le, F**, and so on.
RTC Reps and other Miscavige ass-kissers and sycophants (with perhaps one exception out of the ones I had the misfortune to meet) are right up at the top of the list of the most arrogant, ill-mannered, hateful, unreal and ignorant people I have ever run into. They might be the best living proof at how off the rails the Church actually is.
I was wondering about all the cursing. Is this to create an effect on each other because not much “effect” is created in actuality? It seems this method of addressing and speaking to each other is an attempt to fill in a rather hollow existence. It’s not really normal human interpersonal relations.
I loved it though and laughed out loud within the first two seconds!
Exactly That’s how I see it. Many were illiterate and God fearing so it has that for its size today. Joseph smith was a sociopathic sexual predator and would be in superman today. He went to the middle of nowhere for a reason,he knew what he was doing to the simple minded was evil
Mike I really look forward to RB every week. Screamingly funny stuff while at the same time absolutely true. While the gravity of the situation should not be ignored, it’s also important for us to be able to laugh at this s**t too. Thanks very much! 🙂
The fowl mouths, the crazy-making think among staff, the back stabbing and then DM! That tiny piece of hair sticking up with his insane diatribe. It goes on and on. I laughed and laughed.
Cindy, The abuse and disconnection of families that I have been reading about is terrible and I had no idea it was so extreme. It is not just a few but MANY.
Oh Regraded Being… you make me laugh, you make me cry. You make me want to give this to all the Sea Org and Public. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing you every Friday.

No, *I’m* Spartacus. 🙂
Loved your TP with haircut sign Lynn. It inspired a scene in one of the cartoons. Hope you caught it.

Scientology is advertising on the mobile version of urbandictionary.com. You should see the definitions of Scientology on urbandictionary.com. 🙂
I like how many time he says “Don’t talk to me” and “Don’t bother me” really nails the persona. What a ridiculous man.
This was so funny I actually thought it was Thursday all day LOL
Very good again, Regarded being. Congrats.
Thank you and write on Regraded Being!
Brilliant! Just brilliant Regraded Being!
This is better than South Park.
ha ha – now that’s a compliment – and it really is!
The folks on this blog have me laughing every day and I agree!
The only thing missing was most of them smoking cigarettes, or maybe they’ve banned that too.
I know L Ron smoked Kools does the Current Chairman?
A cartoon is indeed reality. Great way to get information across to all levels of readers of this blog.
Brilliant, RB–Keep it going!
More humor:
“It is a telling commentary on downtown Clearwater’s desire to be known as something other than the silly make-believe navy sailor suit capital of the world that the city’s fathers found themselves relying on a famous dolphin to blunt the influence of the Church of Scientology”.

I lost my coffee again! All over my screen. Thanks RB – love the truth mixed with J&Ding.
The saddest part was the reference to DM’s successful evil efforts to third party TC’s first two marriages.
TC you are probably worth over $100 million, but when you let DM do that to you, you proved that you are still an idiot.
David Miscavige is obviously the third party in all of Tom’s affairs. The Church becomes the third party in the family, the work place. It is never “over there”. It is always right up in your bedroom. Whatever you do in your bedroom, there is an org right there under the sheets with you.

Spy cameras in every auditing room. They say it is so they can catch out tech after they sell you 100% standard tech.
+1 and when you catch a security guard going through your personal effects in your room at the Flag base, they tell you that he was just making sure that housekeeping is doing their job.
Sure.
titter, giggle, gefaw, belly laugh…..great job Regraded.
Do they still have dorms in Hemet? I thought they moved everyone on base years ago.
Just a thought, but with a high-gain directional antenna you could paint Int with a WiFi signal from a distant hill.
Wold not work. They would get the signal , but without a dish of their own they would not manage to send a signal back. wifi is a two way communication system 🙁
Antenna gain applies in both directions, receiving as well as transmitting. If they could receive the access point, the access point could receive them.

Rick, just put on pole on the public hwy that splits the base. Only needs to be as large as a cell phone node antenna.
Unfortunately, anything that close would soon disappear, especially if they were watching you put in up.

You should pull these together into a book. I’d buy it in a minute, and imagine the reaction in Hemet.
Absolutely right. The Regraded Being Coffee Table Book would provide hours of enjoyment and stimulate conversation when entertaining guests. it would definitely look attractive prominently displayed in major bookstores throughout the country, in Clearwater Florida, for instance.

ROFL! Chill EB getting his idiot ass kicked with humor again. 🙂 His rampage in twitter was highly amusing, I think I was like the 10,000th person he blocked. 🙂
His unfriend list is expanding!
Chill EB’s Unfriend list is 47x straight up and vertical!
Hmmmm… I think I need to add him to the list of Scilon celebs that have blocked me. Challenge accepted!
Ya know RB, bugging a building on private property is illegal in Kalifornia. 😉
great stuff
This may have looked like a joke, but the foul mouthed adjectives were daily used by RTC Reps when asking staff to do something: you MF, you A***le, F**, and so on.
Nevertheless this was really, really funny. TKU.
RTC Reps and other Miscavige ass-kissers and sycophants (with perhaps one exception out of the ones I had the misfortune to meet) are right up at the top of the list of the most arrogant, ill-mannered, hateful, unreal and ignorant people I have ever run into.

Have you never heard SO members speaking to one another? They use language like this all the time. It’s par for the course.
Hysterical! 2FF!
“You can even imprison people and steal and lie as long as it’s beautiful for you.”
OMG Regarded, I just about wet myself with laughter over that line. I am still laughing as I write this.
Yes…put Travolta’s recent comments in a different perspective!
Yes, I had the same reaction. Still laughing too.
Two thumbs up RB!
Haha.. These guys remind me of the mormons that I went to school with. Except the Mormons were a respectable cult.
I may be the odd one out here.
I do not think of the Mormons as respectable
I think Joe Smith and Ron Hubbard had a lot in common.
The LDS church had the advantage of being formed in the early to mid 19th century.
Information was not as easily accessible or shared as it is today.
Exactly That’s how I see it. Many were illiterate and God fearing so it has that for its size today. Joseph smith was a sociopathic sexual predator and would be in superman today. He went to the middle of nowhere for a reason,he knew what he was doing to the simple minded was evil
*Standing on chair applauding*
You are KILLIN IT, Regraded!
Hilarious stuff Regraded Being!
You are over the top RB! It’s almost like you are there!
Mike I really look forward to RB every week. Screamingly funny stuff while at the same time absolutely true. While the gravity of the situation should not be ignored, it’s also important for us to be able to laugh at this s**t too. Thanks very much! 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂 You’ve got this shit down, Regraded. 🙂 🙂 🙂
The fowl mouths, the crazy-making think among staff, the back stabbing and then DM! That tiny piece of hair sticking up with his insane diatribe. It goes on and on. I laughed and laughed.
David Miscavige is a lot like Steinbrenner in Seinfeld. Love it!
Except Steinbrenner didn’t beat people up and split up their families.
Cindy, The abuse and disconnection of families that I have been reading about is terrible and I had no idea it was so extreme. It is not just a few but MANY.
