In actual fact, Lapo Bertini is Italian. He grew up in Florence, Italy and was one of the few staff members I really respected. Did a stint in the Italian Army before going into the Sea Org. The smile you see in the picture is just his shy demeanor.

From this southern gent, that Lapo boy is sho lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut. He has the peeked look of the carpetbagger about him. “Dam Yank” is right.

Translated by those in the know, this statement really means that Captain Miscavige issued an order recalling her and that read something like this:

“I want that bitch scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush by the end of the night. No one is going to make COB wrong by keeping their stats down. I’m surrounded by SPs!!!”

I agree Aqua and Indie 8. What is Lynn Irons doing nowadays?

THEY will get YOU if you stay around it…. Either your Family, your wife, your kids, your bank account,your sanity,your home, your relationship with your creator. They want to destroy it ALL!! There is no Flourish and Prosper. Look around you… Do you see STAFF that are happy or haggard. How many divorces? How many bankruptcies? How many look Grey? You are being told NOT to LOOK for a reason! Captain David (SLAPPY) McSavage is the Devil’s minion. LOOK and LOOK HARD, because he hides it. You are in such GRAVE DANGER because you are innocent, YOU CANNOT CONCEIVE HOW JUST VERY EVIL THIS WHOLE “SHOW” IS. I don’t care how much MONEY you have spent or have on ACCOUNT. GET THE HELL OUT of the DEVILS PARLOR!
( Good place to start LOOKING?? Look up LRH’s relationship with Jack Parson’s (never heard of him- have you?) Yes Mr. Hubbard doesn’t really mention him anywhere, that I remember. There is a reason.. Mr. Hubbard kept ALL Kinds of SECRETS from virtually everybody…. If you are lurking, this is ok, REALLY… is it wrong to look for FACTS?!?? ANYONE who tells you not to look for FACTS, is HIDING something. LOOK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right, Hallie. It saves them having to pay wages and provide an exchange.

Sorry to hear about Mel Nelson. Didn’t know him well, worked with him briefly about twenty years ago. Seemed like a really nice guy (and a good guy to work with too).

Interesting observation Robert.

My view about the “Basics” was that it distracted the public from actual policy and tech so that the staff could just order them around and they wouldn’t ask them a lot of embarrassing questions about what they’re doing.

In my opinion that seems to be working out quite well.

It seems that most of the public that are left haven’t even bothered to read the Policy “Ideal Orgs”.

Because if they did they’d be asking a lot of “embarrassing questions” about this whole “Ideal Org” scam.

Same with having people redo a level that they’d already done earlier.

After reading Pat Parody’s bloviations regarding all the “subtle wins” he’s allegedly having on the SRD like some Politburo apprachik under Stalin. I’m pretty sure they don’t even to bother to verify if the PC or Pre OT had reached the EP earlier thus violating at least several HCOBs written in the mid ’60’s on Releases etc.

I mean Pat should know better but most people who’ve only done the “Basics” don’t know that these processes are now only run to Cognition, VGIs which is verified or rehabbed with an F/N.
