Something Can Be Done About It

Hmmm, Something’s Not Right….

By 50 Comments

This is a recent promotional piece trying to persuade the sheeple to do a “chronological study” of the materials.

Somehow, this seemed a bit strange to me, because this is a quote from 1973. These materials (apart from the books) were generally not available to the public then.

So, I checked the quote.

Lo and behold, it is about the BRIEFING COURSE, the course that Miscavige canceled a decade ago and has never replaced. Hubbard is referencing the 300+ lectures he delivered to Briefing Course students.

It tells you how far from the Hubbard version of scientology the current organization is. There is nobody even whispering that not having a Briefing Course is a horrendous violation of KSW…

  1. I hereby issue a Public Action against the materials incharge that stitch material A with modern marketing push B in a decoherent fashion to boost sales and for spreading confusion and the fake media campaign.

    In other words, selling masses of basics books is bad. Mmhhhkhhhay. 😆

  2. A scam replaced with another scam is still a scam.

    The truth is one and all the lies are many.

  3. When the basics came out I was already out.
    Thanks heaven that I had not to drive my self into wild and harassing sales drama to reach the suppressive quota and maybe be in a room after midnight in a meeting with an idiot screaming to us that we should have woke up half Europe that night to make the damn quota!
    However I experienced other similar crap.
    That place when it comes to reach the quota given by command intention becomes an asylum. Then you look back and nothing has changed.

  4. What’s strange is that Sci Inc. has a website called training dot scientology dot org. On this site is everything about Training as an Auditor. There is a tab labeled “Comprehensive Training: Class VI” when you click it guess what it says…”The Saint Hill Special Briefing Course”. It goes on and on about how in depth this course is and how important it is. The next tab tells about Classes VII through XII…hmmmm thought GAT killed those at least for the time being. Maybe they just forgot the website was even there. I don’t know enough about the internet to see what connects to this site if anything. I found it looking for info on the SHSBC.

    Of course we all know why “Command Intention” wants to re-tool the SHSBC. Hubs mentions all kinds of names of people that King CICS has declared SP. I’m fairly certain Hubs mentions his wife that DM just wants to pretend like didn’t happen. DM wants to rewrite Hubs history to turn him into a messiah. Like what was similarly done to Christ in Christianity. That’s a novel in itself that I won’t go into here.

    The funny thing is that Miscavige wants so desperately to be the new “Source” but he just doesn’t have the ability to come up with anything like the drivel Hubs came up with. So all he can do is edit Hubs work…find new things…get rid of old things…nothing in other words. He’s just not smart enough and it must burn him up to be reminded of it. I mean Hubs didn’t have much of an education but next to Miscavige (Junior High!) he’s a scholar. I still want someone to do a play by play write up of how this piss ant came to power. I’ve read the glossy versions but I want a play by play. How the hell did a 19 year old usurp the ‘Old Guard’ and take over. Why did anyone even listen to him? Did Hubbard even know that Miscavige was ‘taking over’? Why did the old hands just stand around and ‘yessir’ this piss ant? After it was all over why did the Exec Strata just bend to his will and let themselves be put in the Hole for life it seems? Now everyone who’s left shakes in their shoes if they get noticed by him. Last thing you want to be is DMs current ‘favorite’…we all know where they end up.

    • I don’t know if you are being coy to avoid tripping any automated Org searches, but you’re right about the SHSBC being listed under Class VI training. I’ve taken a screenshot for posterity. The Internet Archive also has copies, the first of which from 2013 looks pretty much the same as the site does now.

      I know someone who has been working through the Hubbard timeline, so it will be interesting to see their reaction when I ask about this level.

  5. It is truly amazing to me how absolutely fucking stupid Scientologists are, especially old timers (just too worn out in their 60s and 70s?).

    I’ve maintained for years that when it comes to sheer marketing and money making from a small group , Miscavige’s genius is unequaled.

    Back in the 70s, the SHSBC was about $750 (before the price increases) and no lectures to buy either . When I left in 2006, the book package I was extorted to buy was $5,000. The B.C. takes years to deliver, very high labor intensive. The book package takes no one to deliver anything , except if the person buys ANOTHER service.

    So there’s no mystery on what Miscagive does. He has all sorts of things he gets people to donate for where the CoS has to deliver nothing in return.

    No BC, no 8 course, no Vols … and what sheeple there are left dress up as Batman and pirates and part with more cash at fundraisers. GREAT! I LOVE IT! Like to see more of it. Makes me feel quite superior and even content that I left before these assholes got all my money . I’m not rich, but I do have some moolah in me old age to enjoy life. My “service facs” in restim? Well … no, not really. I just massage them temporarily into action for shitz and giggles.

    • Yes. True. Maybe Miscavige modernizes this course for people on OT 11? As a secret pushing course? Maybe he offers the fully paid OTs, that he is the Demiurg and the real lucifer and not Hubbard? Or he shares all 500 million dollars setasides from Hubbard to his fans?
      He is so altruistic into his blue heart.
      Every follower will participate – except you and all other SPs like us all outsiders.

  6. Hello old friends and critics.

    Ron here. Well it sure has been difficult to come back and watch this all occur.

    After a few years after returning to higher dimension/ density, or whatever you want to call it- reincarnation, or the zone of whole track amnesia override, I finally did get in comm with the occupiers. And sorry, but my only real power has been to rant like a mf.

    If there were a more uncomfortable position to be in I’d like to know. Aside, I’m doing well and glad the pressure is off, what with xenu handled. It’d truly be nice to see people winning and if I had the opportunity I’d do whatever I could to get things on the up and up, I would.

    On one hand- so so stoked for the freedom, the win, the taste of spiritual truth and what felt like the embodiment of what I only imagined to be real. And then, on the other hand, the gut wrenching disgust of what has occurred. Quite the spectrum of highs and lows.

  7. It’s a good thing that Dr Hubbard only asks his minions to clear words, given his jaw-dropping discovery made in his multitudinous arduous, self-denying “researches” that you only understand a word if you understand a word. And as any technical expert enlightened by “source’s” laser-sharp insights will tell you this requires a dictionary. Who knew?

    If the master’s rambling quote were to be subjected to a grammatical check as well, he’d stand accused of “high crimes” inflicted against the English language. For such a universally acclaimed writer that would be more than a tad embarrassing!

    • MRycroft. Great post. In fact it isn’t scn anymore. It is just a ‘squirrel’ activity concentrated on making money. It is no more a self improvement movement, it turned into the definition of sect.

  9. Tape?? What is this tape you speak of? Why Lron originally recorded his lectures on magnetic wire. Why have you changed the storage medium of Lron’s choice?

    To prepare for the apocalypse, we need every member to memorize every one of Lron’s utterances. Start now, and be prepared to pay the IAS when you don’t meet our schedules.

  10. When I was in Scientology, I would have read this HCOB with keen interest thinking how brilliant Hubbard was and that I should follow his instructions. Having been out for thirty two years with a chance to study his sources, I see that Scientology was a complete waste of time. He should have announced in 1972 on my first course that he was simply following the Entities and Demons of King Solomon and Crowley. When he used the term “spiritual” research, he should have qualified it. He should have said that it was his own subjective opinion with no basis in fact or reality. Hey Davey, refund my $120,000 right now.

  11. Under Mr. GAT himself, David Miscavige, we have seen the disappearance of the SHSBC, the Cl VIII course, the Tech Volumes, the OEC, the FEBC and the HCOPL volumes. Curious how all the courses and publications which give the greatest overview of Scientology have vanished.

      It bears repeating. Shocking truth.

    • SSOA. Also Ksw apparently isn’t anymore at the beggining of the checksheets. Just got confirmation.

      Reply

      • Well then how does one know how or what to plead guilty to when in their Comm Ev?

        Anyway, no KSW! at the beginning of checksheets truly is shocking.

        Reply

        • Mary. I was amazed too. And I got several confirms about it. The latest I got was few weeks ago from a friend still on lines somehow. He answered to me “yeah but one should read it anyway time to time”.
          It really turned into a sect of the former cult.

    • SSoA:

      Of COURSE DwarfenfĂźhrerÂŽ, the “punching Pontiff” doesn’t want anyone to know even approximately how much he’s violated KSW and altered Hubbard’s brilliant “tech” (techniques) since he assumed the little bit of “power” he could in scientology. Whenever his minions have discovered the TRUTH for themselves, they ‘blew’ … got as far away from the tiny SP as quickly as they could.

  12. Dissapointing the Australian Black OPS series has apparently been scrapped. Mike, any insight you can share?

    Reply

      • Don’t forget to follow the money. Someone in the channel 7 exec office likely made a deposit recently!

        Reply

      • Mike, yes it is very sad that Seymour’s Black OP series has been lost in the fog but, is it possible that he could offer it to another TV channel? It saddens me that channel 7 hasn’t got the balls to show it to the public, as it would out perform most of the other crap they put on display.

        • Unfortunately tv networks own footage like that. But they don’t own the facts and the story.

  13. Scientology has turned itself into a cult of the original cult. Technically they have became heretics.

  14. There’s no real SOR increase from running course-rooms. There IS tons of money to be made by selling overpriced media to the sheeple.

  15. Well, there is the issue of the semi-colons… There has to be a shit ton of semi-colons to deal with in the briefing course materials. Perhaps the Golden Age of Tech III or IV will address this vital issue and the remaining marks can do their ‘bridge to total freedom’ once again. This is just an amazing con started by the ol’ grifter in the 50s and still going strong today. It’s the envy of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff.

      • According to Wikipedia, Bernie is currently a resident in the Big House. Specifically, Federal Corrrectional Complex, Butner until 2037. Reliable sources say Hubbard is currently residing on Target Two (an undisclosed location somewhere in this sector of our guh-lax-ee). Bernie could have enjoyed similar freedom but he made the rookie mistake of not deploying some sort of Fair Game Tech with his customers and swathing it in the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.

      • OSD asked: Where did Madoff make off to. Just wondering…

        In prison in North Carolina serving a very long prison sentence?

        Ms. B. Haven I love that semi colon vs comma or colon or whatver crap that DM used as an excuse for having to reissue whatever book it was. The amazing thing is people actually bought what he said. Like he would know the difference anyway.

      • OSD. Madroff has made one of the biggest banking scams ever. They gave him 150 years in prison. He created a system like Ponzi.
        He has stolen and ruined thousands of people for millions of dollars.
        A good buddy after all (I meant after 150 years of jail)

      • Madoff destroyed some of the biggest fortunes in Hollywood. He took advantage of his own people. Sounds a lot like someone we know. I think Kevin Bacon, Val Kilmer, Spielberg were just a few of the big names. I read a little of Kilmer’s whiny tome (autobiography) and he was so broke he lost basically everything and when he was diagnosed with throat cancer he actually moved in with his ex GF Cher in her guest house.

  17. It’s very apparent who the suppressive is in Scientology. Little Davey proves he is, time and time again.

  18. Let’s face it, Source has been replaced with Command Intention. Miscavige started dripping his name, “Command Intention,” somewhere in the early 2000’s. The first time I heard it, I thought, “Who the hell is Command Intention?” Pretty soon that’s all one heard, “Command Intention wants” or “Because Common Intention said so.” After running the church of scientology (34 years +) longer than Hubbard ran the church of scientology, it has become tacitly apparent who Source is now. With his slight of hand, Voila! Miscavige can do whatever he wants (remove the Briefing Course, combine Organizations, reg solely for donations, redefine an F/N,….) and there is no one around who cares or who can even do anything about it. Ya gotta hand it to him…. It all starts with a slight thing that no one does anything about. Next thing you know, you’re running a church.

    • That’s the beauty of a high control environment. History can be slowly erased or rewritten, and any dissenters punished until they conform again or kicked out with their eternity cancelled.

        • Many Scientologists fit the role of Boxer the cart-horse from Animal Farm, and that they believe any problem can be solved if they work harder.

          Obviously LRH is Napoleon, David Mayo is Snowball, and the other DM is Squealer.

          Reply

    • Mary, “Command intention” is an LRH issue. DM is simply pushing it to whatever limit he can get away with. It’s been around decades before the 2,000s and was always abused by executive and management. You have Hubtard references like found in the Bulldozer series where Hubtard tells execs to screw the policies do whatever it takes to get stats up (money to SOR).

      You see Hubtard was NEVER about the rules he wrote but only about the wealth it could give him.

      Reply

    • Good observation, Mary. Perhaps “Command Intention” does exist. Somewhere. Maybe it resides in the Emerald City in the Land of OZ. Obey its words. Just pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

      Reply

      • It definitely exists but it is especially noticeable when there is a bottle of McCallum 12 around.
