Monumental Announcement Under The Big Top

October 10, 2014 By Mike Rinder 150 Comments

bigtopmania_big_top

It is hardly a surprise that there is a lot of hype about the upcoming IAS “Big Top” circus event. There is hype for every event. And the next event is always  so much better than the last one.

But a few people have reported that there is talk of a “monumental announcement” similar to the announcement of “Golden Age Of Tech” for “our 4th dynamic programs.”

Now, this could of course just be typical “call-in” patter and the “monumental announcement” will be a new DVD and booklet “exposing psych crimes” that is going to be mailed out to “every opinion leader on earth.”

And I don’t doubt there will be such a “monumental” “anti-psych” release.

But I suspect there is something else.

An eagle eyed Special Correspondent noticed a new page on scientology.org entitled “Voice For Humanity”.

This appears to be a “reorganization” of the scientology “4th dynamic programs.”

Up til now there have been 4 “social betterment” programs under ABLE (Association For Better Living and Education): Applied Scholastics, Narconon, Criminon and Way to Happiness Foundation.

Then there were assorted other “4th dynamic” programs like CCHR, Youth For Human Rights, Truth About Drugs etc that were under OSA. And the Volunteer Ministers Crusade as part of the “Flag Bureau.”

Of course, some reorganization of ABLE is needed as Narconon is under siege and looks like it will go the way of EST.  I predict a “new” organization will show up like Landmark did in the wake of EST, and it will attempt to distance itself from the horrendous PR and liabilities of Narconon. But more on that for an upcoming post.

In the meantime, there is a new kid on the block, promising “Real Help Real Results” —  the VOICE FOR HUMANITY that promotes itself like this:

Drug abuse and criminality, intolerance and inhumanity, disasters both natural and man-made pervade and degrade every segment of society. So daunting are these issues that efforts to eliminate them are all too often overshadowed by efforts to merely contain the damage. In recognition of the vital necessity to stem the downward spiral, the Church of Scientology and its members sponsor secular education programs that effectively curb drug abuse, instill tolerance, raise awareness of human rights and uplift morality across whole populations.

The goal is at once bold and ambitious: to resolve broad planetary ills and arrest a creeping cultural decline, all while uplifting society by instilling commonly shared values. Based on decades of experience, the programs contribute to positive change for individuals, communities and indeed, whole nations. Whether through grassroots initiative or official implementation, these programs measurably improve conditions, hence demand grows exponentially.

The Truth About Drugs: Creating a Drug-Free World
United for Human Rights: Making Human Rights a Global Reality
Citizens Commission on Human Rights: Restoring Dignity
The Way to Happiness: Creating a World of Honesty, Trust and Self-Respect
Scientology Volunteer Ministers: Something Can Be Done About It

Each campaign is founded on the proposition that education is the cornerstone of change. They acknowledge that only when truly informed can individuals make lasting and transformative decisions to live drug-free, ethical, respectful lives in harmony with their loved ones and neighbors.

Inspired by the words of L. Ron Hubbard, Founder of the Scientology Religion, that “a being is only as valuable as he can serve others,” Scientologists assume responsibility not only for self and family, but also for the larger community. They wholeheartedly support these programs to make them broadly available. 

 

How this will be organized and under who will likely be part of the “monumental announcement” that Dear Leader will present to the clubbed seals at the IAS event.  Apparently WTH Fdn has been moved out of ABLE and join the Volunteer Ministers all being lumped in with the former OSA programs of CCHR, Truth About Drugs and United for Human Rights. One big happy family of  “4th dynamic programs” that don’t “sell” services to anyone.

Of course, if they actually DID what they say they do, these programs would be very appropriate for a church to engage in. The problem is that they in fact do very little, and are primarily video opportunities to use for further regging of “donations” to the IAS.

No doubt this “reorganization” will be presented as a magnificent achievement that explains away all past failures in “reverting the downward spiral of society.” Just like Golden Age of Tech II — a repackaging of the same old stuff presented as a “monumental breakthrough” that one “cured” all the earlier problems of tech failures.

Not sure they should have put this onto their website, pre-empting the event.  And perhaps everything will now have to be changed once Miscavige gets wind of this posting.

But I would bet dollars to donuts that this is the crux of the “monumental announcement” that is coming next week. And it will be hyped to sound as if it was some amazing accomplishment and heralds a new “4th dynamic golden age.”

UPDATE

Ruh-roh. Things not looking so rosy in monumental fourth dynamic land….

It seems someone forgot to check whether anyone else was already using this name.

A special correspondent just forwarded me a link to a site for Voice For Humanity that is very clearly NOT scientology related. Apparently this organization has been around since 2009.

I suspect they will not like being usurped like this — particularly not by scientology.

Screenshot (47)

And to compound matters, another Special Correspondent sent me this, from the DSA Pretoria that would appear to confirm what I bet dollars to donuts on above. Apparently this was pulled down from Facebook, but not before it was saved by the bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the internet.

    What I find an interesting aspect is this:

    The IAS event is to make this super-duper announcement of something new that shakes the world. As any event topic it is treated as “super confidential” (same level of confidentiality as the number of rolls of toilet paper used per week).

    At the same time they put the link to the “Voice for more donations” right on their main scientology.org website – already now!

    Tells me that they are sure that Scientologist are NOT looking at their website. Nothing of interest there. All there fore show, including their Extension Courses.

    I think they get their traffic from people like us – those who look into or investigate Scientology (if you check Alexa, schools are heavily represented as visitors, but I don’t think in the way the cult would like to portray it)

    Applied Scholastics was once actually quite effective at helping children and ESL people to learn to read and study when I was involved with their program as a tutor when Amanda Ambrose was ED. At one time LA Unified School district even gave teachers continuing education credit for courses done there.
    Then the CO$ re-organized them under ABLE and began using them very overtly as a PR front group. Prior to that the connection with the CO$ was not supposed to be emphasized.
    In my opinion the biggest reason and probably the sole reason that they are not trusted by educators these days is because of their connection with the CO$ and the fact that the CO$ has for many decades been touting their connection to Applied Scholastics as a means to improve the “church’s” well-deserved awful PR.
    Well, that worked backwards, didn’t it? What a shame.

      So true Espiritu. Like the other potentially beneficial parts of Scn, the actual actions, like auditing, word clearing, ethics help, have been subjugated to, a hollow pr and money grubbing activity. I had great success teaching kids how to read using simple study tech and a lot of time and patience. There is a classically criminal element to this, where the “product” is money and the doingness is zero. The real products of Scn have been abandoned for the quick buck because it’s actually hard work. Many people endured the vulture culture to continue trying for gains, but the real reason the orgs are empty is that Scn isn’t there any more.

        I have had a lot of success with both adults and children, adjusting gradients, adding mass, especially in math. People really do get stuck. Adults tend to get stuck on not advancing in their career or purpose line. Kids need to learn most of their language, so making sure they understand word meanings is of course, important. The problem is again, the ridiculous overhype of these simple procedures and making them robotic. The only point is giving the person in front of you, what they need. The rcs has been extremely negligent in ensuring that people have well trained, experienced, stable auditors, who aren’t falling asleep. Feeling insulted is not a product of study tech, it’s a product of invalidation by some idiot who didn’t know what they were doing. You probably already know this, but you deserved better.

    Not too long ago, this occurred to me and I’ve been saying it to whoever will listen ever since:

    How the hell is Scientology going to clear the planet if they can’t even clear the goddamned Sea Org?

    And now, how the hell are they going to “put in” the following points if they can’t even grant SO members the same consideration:

    Creating a Drug-Free World – OK, I suppose the SO is fairly drug-free…

    So how the hell will Scientology bring all these human rights to the world, when they can’t even make it happen for their own fucking Sea Org:

    Making Human Rights a Global Reality
    Restoring Dignity
    Creating a World of Honesty, Trust and Self-Respect

    With the recent developments favorable to Scientology and their SLAPP strategy, although not yet final or conclusive, there is always the possibility that the Dwarfenfuehrer doubles down eventually with NarCONon by moving this from a purportedly secular endeavor (although we know it has been a directly connected profit center and cult recruitment tool) and trying to fully cloak it in religiosity. After all, that is directly from Hubbard’s own playbook when the FDA and other authorities cracked down on emeters/dianetics/scientology, especially as to beneficial health claims.

      Cloak in religiosity? Which religion, pray tell. Because if it’s Scientology, that’s a dead letter. Any public mention of Scientology in any sphere elicits joking and degrading. Perhaps he can cloak it in NOIism. They have a better reputation.

    What a colossal waste of time, mocking up all these pretended activities to pretend betterment in the world. Meanwhile, the actual products of Scientology, the wins of pcs and preots and well trained auditors are squirreled, neglected and micromanaged to death. The staff of the actual churches are mistreated and denied the dignity of a paycheck, yet they supposedly have a group that restores dignity?????? Disconnection is the most inhumane, vile and deeply hurtful practice, yet this is in full practice, right now, in plain sight. The radical church should clean up it’s own house.

      The church knows it has tons of overts on the public and doesn’t plan to let up any time soon. There’s money out there to be made while they still can.

      In the meanwhile, these nice slick videos are produced to convince the sheeple that good works are being done so asking the public for more money “to help” seems plausible. Not that the IAS actually does anything of relevance in society.

      What these videos really are is propitiation. An attempt to show goodness and benevolence, while the real target is YOUR MONEY. It’s IAS season, folks. Please don’t be mad.

    Please note the above registration may not be relevant, and even if relevant may not be controlling. It appears to be for a different entity that the one that owns the website.

    Don’t get me wrong, even if the registration is not for the relevant entity (i.e., the one that owns the website), that does not dispose of the matter. The bottom line is that it appears the Church of Scientology is usurping the preexisting name of another entity in the same “social betterment” area of business / charity. Even if the above registration doesn’t cover the matter, common law trade-mark law or other IP law may. Scientology’s behavior seems destined to cause confusion.

    More precisely, as stated in the comments above:

    the above registration lists the owner as “American Humane Association CORPORATION D.C. ,63 Inverness Drive Englewood COLORADO”; while, in contrast,

    the owner of the preexisting Voice for Humanity website is VOICE FOR HUMANITY, INC., 1819 FIELDEN DRIVE, LEXINGTON, KY 40502.

      I’m thinking maybe The Co$ has not registered an umbrella entity as Voice for Humanity, it’s only a campaign slogan for the new ‘campaigns’. I haven’t seen them mentioned as ‘groups’ or anything that would confirm them being established like ABLE, Apps, etc.
      So, perhaps they can defend their case on those grounds and that is why the bold move.
      Perhaps a bit more research to it can reveal whether this is really a corporate restructure or another ANZAC flap, with quick and lame retract, should anyone complain.
      Scn-VFH have a bunch of videos on youtube first appearing in mid August, just search on ‘voice For humanity scientology’ and click videos, you get the list in one screen with time stamp.

        Thanks Comm I/C, I saw their page before, but I got a little confused there, about ‘entity’ as in new legal entities replacing the old structure, and the name/trading name/service mark context.

        Then I realised that registering a ‘trading name’ is not a must and a corporation’s legal name has to unique on the register but can start trading under any other name(s) they like, and is not challenged by, for example a trade mark/service mark owner.
        So it’s possible that the new ‘groups’ are in fact no new legal entities just a new show of the same circus.
        After all, if you don’t deliver services there’s no need to keep them legally separate, liability is at the minimum anyway.

    Hi Mike,
    The following piece was written by someone who was there at the beginning of Narconon and who was a key player in writing the cirriculum.

    It’s a bit long, but I think it speaks the truth about how good hearted people have their hopes and dreams usurped by the Co$ and destroyed by turning good intentions into money making rackets.

    “I just read Mike’s and Tony’s blog and Tony made a reference to Narconon being jettisoned from the. COS. I thought I’d share some thoughts, right or wrong. If DM jettisons Narconon that will be the BEST thing that has ever happened to Narconon. Narconon has been subverted by Miscavige so that it’s results, products, goodwill, personnel and most importantly it’s money could be taken (either from its bank accounts directly in the for sales of non essential LRH books or from their wealthy staff who have received huge salaries by defrauding insurance companies). Narconon’s Achilles heal has always been the “church” of Scientology ever since they saw Narconon as a way to garner great PR for the church by Artie Maren and Henning Heldt of the GO and then the GO under Jane Kember’s rule. Today you read narconon’s website and it chronicles it’s history with early newsletters and endorsements which they have posted on their website, you can see it was an organization of volunteers and former inmates working hard to give each other a hand. Willie Benitez instilled a sense of honest and genuine sincerity in the pursuit of his mission. They celebrated donations of equipment etc so they could provide their services to the community and they worked with local officials to help their communities. They were not self serving. They were making some money but in the forefront there were many staff who worked hard motivated by a true desire to help others. But as the years progressed you see a real shift most noticeably with their Oklahoma project which was diverted from its intent to be a collaborative project to help Native Americans and non- NA at large, to a MisCavige money making machine. It appears that Narconon under the “able” guidance of ABLE, who in turn is tightly controlled by Miscavige through the Sea Org system, has become about the money, and real estate and deep pockets for the church. The C of S has a history of using Narconon to meet its own objectives; not to help and coordinate with it to fulfill what would be best for actually servicing the community, which is what a real social betterment program is about. ( for instance, The Truth About Drugs campaign was created by Narconon and used by them to reach out to hundreds of thousands of children. It was created by a Narconon grad, and staff member who became President of Narconon and eventually left because of his increasing disagreements with the way the Church was controlling Narconon. Now we see that the Truth About Drugs is a trademark or copyrighted to the Church of Scientology; which means it took it away from Narconon and it’s control and uses it chiefly as a way of diffusing its negative image.) in return Narconon has had to suffer from its affiliation with the church. It has had to put up with demands from the church to help damage control bad church PR and risk the support of their allies because of its affiliation, lost government contracts and gone nearly bankrupt and crippled because of its connection to Scn. Scn has come after Narconon’s money (would be interesting to see how many LRH libraries Narcons have stockpiled, what are the real estate holdings exactly? Rents) and RTC and ABLE have provided it with a limited rehab program (as it can only sell and deliver LRH tech and virtually no real attention is placed on providing the many support services necessary for effective rehab). ( I also doubt if in fact ABLE truly polices quality control of even the services that Narconon’s provides, by virtue of the high number of deaths in a concentrated period of time. ( at one point, a death in a Narconon was a very, very rare occurance.) i wish the church would dump Narconon. I know it’s wishful thinking; but It would give Narconon the distance it needs to fully run itself without the constant demands and noise from ABLE and that lot, in the manner that they see will best to help addicts and It would open the door for it to breathe life back into its original intent and grow in the manner it wants to and do what it has always wanted to do: to get people off drugs and help them live productive lives. But we know that won’t happen. Anyone espousing this will of course be deemed anti mgmt, anti church, anti DM and expelled or fired.”

      Thanks LDW. Yes, I remember Mr. Benitez as a caring individual who was really doing something about the drug problem. The Narconon name is pretty much ruined by invidious comparison to CoS. To use it now would be the equivalent of calling oneself Hitler. Not a problem – just change it and go back to doing good works.

    The so called social betterment programs are a sham. One of my daughters, at the age of 16, was the President for Youth for Human Rights. She did it because she was genuinely interested in that topic. It took only a couple of months before she came home one day and told us she had resigned. She saw this was just a PR gig for the CO$ with no real genuine interest for furthering human rights activities. While the IAS was promoting and regging heavily for Youth for Human Rights even the (Sea Org) Human Rights Director at Hollywood Blvd was visibly uneasy about the fact that the IAS regges were lying through their teeth. Almost none of the large sums of money they regged for Youth for Human Rights ever were spend for it. Actually Youth for Human Rights had to setup their own donation lines, so they could cover the expenses.
    I know first Hand how Youth for Human Rights was treated by Church management just as another photo op for the Church and a tool for IAS regges to make money that was than funneled into DMs slush fund. That seems to be the successful action for DM.

    Hi Mike, That’s quite a post! That’ll be at least Narconon thrown under the bus! Probably CCHR and Applied Scholastics will follow. Davie just hated these Social Coordination activities in any case. The problem for him is they won’t just vanish from the public scene – he’ll be fending off legal suits for years as he has not made peace with any of them.

    And can he get the name of this new structure changed in time for the event? You can just see the conference room heaving with people trying to cover their ass and dodge the bullet on ‘who came up with that idea in the first place?’ (= instant RPF assignment!)

    Narconon’s demise began when someone had the bright idea to make it secular. A Narconon student attempting to do a spirit-free clay demo of the 7th dynamic is pretty uncomfortable, let me tell you. Secondarily, the ex-addicts helping addicts model has become antiquated. (Synanon is long gone.) In the 60s and 70s nobody cared about alcoholics or addicts except their fellow travelers. Although this was the genesis of 12 Step programs, recovery has become a medically based activity. Hence, medical detox. The church saw the handwriting on the wall years ago when they began their “truth” about drugs campaign and unceremoniously pulled the political in-house rug out from under Narconon.

      Sorry, but the genesis of the 12 step program was done back in 1935 when the beginnings of Alcoholics Anonymous first took place [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous] It’s been active and successful ever since, even in the 60s and 70s. It is non religious in character. The medical and psychiatric industries both recommend AA as an adjunct to any medical treatment.

    If Narconon is out of the structure, does it also lose its tax exempt status? It was one of the affiliated organizations covered by the 1993 IRS Agreement, which I don’t think Davey wants opened up.

      jgg2012, Narconon isn’t tax exempt because of an IRS agreement. It is so because of the type of Corp. it is under Statute and how it handles its income. Being attached to a “Church” is neither here nor there. It isn’t a secular/non-secular matter.

    So, a new shell game has begun. I wish we knew who, from amongst COB-un’s current inner circle of favored persons, sat around the table while scheming up this new version of the con game (v. 1.5, 1993 IRS) and which shills were chosen to put it into play.

    But hey, thanks to Mike and his special correspondents’ Monumental Announcement this morning, COB-un has probably already ordered for his lookout shills’ heads to be up on a pike. And I hope the original “Voice for Humanity’s” legal team is already being assembled to bust up the joint and round up the remaining shills who are already scattering and on the run.

    Meanwhile, back to England and to the upcoming [using Ed Sullivan’s voice] really, really, r-e-a-l-l-y big event – this is quite an effective pre-emptive strike and great reveal ahead of Dear Ringleader’s top seekrit Big Top Event! I wonder if he’s caught on yet that he has been deposed and replaced by Mike as Ringmaster I/C of his six ring circus. I’m sure Saint Hill’s hills are NOT alive with the sounds of music today. Instead, I hear the agitated sounds of restless circus animals, hysterical screaming and shouting from the advance team and performers, and…

    The advance billing on the fliers for this year’s event screamed “The Next Monumental Advance.” I think what we will witness instead is “The Biggest Monumental Retreat” in IAS history.

    May those attending “The Biggest Event in IAS History” finally see this annual circus for what it is: a much ballyhooed, bedraggled dog and pony show led by a demented, drunken, and delusional circus barker/pitchman. But most of all, may they wake up during the return trip home; may they contact their families and friends they’ve disconnected from to ask for help and advice; and may they post soon out here on the lunatic fringes of the internet.

    Thanks to everyone involved in making today’s blog post possible and thanks to Mike for this ring side seat! I’ll crank up the popcorn machines for all of us as we stay tuned…

    Surely there are those still in that know about the
    Narconon lawsuits.

    Aside from knowing Narconon is being sued by a bunch
    of SP’s trying to stop Narconon. Aside from knowing
    that the poor souls who died on Narconon’s watch did not
    really die. Aside from all of the truths being revealed in the
    lawsuits, they know that all these things just can’t be
    true.
    Surely there will be some who will notice no mention of
    Narconon and wonder why. Better yet….just maybe some
    of these who notice this will think to themselves….can all
    of this Narconon stuff possibly be true???

    That would be a good start on their road to truth.

      Potpie — I believe all of this is being done so Dear Leader DOES NOT HAVE TO MENTION NARCONON.

      Traditionally this event has 4 elements: Anti-psych, ABLE, IAS Ideal Orgs and VMs.

      THere is NOTHING to talk about on “ABLE” except bad news and perhaps some shots of the NOI “couples weekend” takeover of Applied Scholastics Spanish Lake.

      How do you avoid NOT talking about ABLE at the IAS event? You “create” something new and talk about that and people won’t notice you didn’t mention Narconon….

    Hey Mike,

    First off, I want to publicly thank you personally for what you are doing OUTSIDE of leading a good beautiful life. Your work brings more and more relief to our shared pain of the path we once traveled together. It really does. This is something I know we share a mutual understand in and the way in which you go about your “deeds” and deliver the message is fabulous and beyond words.

    Secondly, your aim of your morning piss into Dave’s Cheerios, or his first of many for the day, two finger on the rocks Scotch is precision shooting! I think we both know the out come of this post of yours… you have successfully delayed the date of the event!

    I am pretty sure now that you have exposed the organizational name conflict, CSI suits have received and sat thru yet another screaming message thru the speaker box piped from where ever Midget Manlord is hiding at while Laurisse massages his whatever to come up with another name NOW! He needs this to save grace and so he can stick to the publicized event date and just have all the promo, letter head and all that redone to the new name they come up with. The suits know it is unreal to get that all done in that time frame and are pretty much the only ones who can push back Appelbox Boy’s schedule with out threat of being assigned to the RPF. So again Dave has to wait for “Legal” to get sorted out before he can move forward with his grand plan he so cleverly realized and designed while tanning himself.

    I’d bet dollars to donuts now that you and Marty have successfully shut down his covert op’s and surveillance for the time being, that CSI and IAS “WAR CHEST” funds are (for the time being) being spent on having the “Suits” readjust the backbone structure of CSI to keep the money flowing while stepping itself out of the legal spot light. The Narcanon flap is unprecedented and I see he sees no way out of that except thru time. Just like he is doing of removing true threats to him. Keeping Heber, Yeager, Leserve, Reynolds, Oaks, Starkey etc. etc. etc…. on the downlow and secure, mentally stroked and pleasured until they die is his only true way of avoiding night after night loving from Rufus in Cell Block F. No witnesses, no crime. Am I right?? Annie and Lymann come to mind as a couple of thorns outta his ass. The mountain of evidence of them witnessing his crimes to humanity is staggering, something of which you and I both know.

    Anyway brother. Thanks again!

    And Dave, since you are here reading….. Hello!

    Interesting though is that I was watching “Law and Order” the other night and I had to do a double take as I am very sure that the main DA guy said (something like) “We can refer him to Narcanon or other drug abuse centers.” He definitely said that and I thought well, ok, fine, probably more effective and better than the rest (I am assuming). So either the director is member of the Church or – they do have a good enough reputation for this program to mention this. As I said a while ago I have nothing against Narconon for what they are doing.

    The internal shenanigans however and Narconon’s corporate relation and money making activities with regard to the official Church I know nothing about and I can only hazard a good guess that there are maybe indeed nefarious or untoward activities on this relationship line with the Church occurring.

      I’m pretty sure Law and Order was referring to Narc-Anon. It’s the support group run by AA for addicts and their families. But it’s pronounced differently, the stress is on the end of the word Narc ANON. In the vein of Alcoholics Anonymous, Al Anon (support meetings for those with addicts in the family.) Totally non-profit. Another possibility is that the writer had heard the word “Narcanon” (when referring to the scn’s program, the stress is on the first syllable NARCanon) as a rehab center and confused it with the AA backed program.

      Just guessing. I bet the producers of L&O would have a fit if they thought something tied them to scn.

        Detective Robert Goren: Look, strip down all their double-talk. What is it that Randall Fuller really said to those people?
        [paraphrasing]
        Detective Robert Goren: “Everything you’ve done is wrong.” “Everything you are is false.”
        Detective Alexandra Eames: “But it wasn’t your fault; you were ‘programmed’ that way.”
        Detective Robert Goren: “Leave it to Grace Note to give you back your life.” It’s *very* seductive.

    “a being is only as valuable as he can serve others,” Especially if they serve the profit margins of CO$.

    The separation of the delivery and non-delivery ‘charities’ of the clampire is very worthy of note. Any ‘delivery’ tied back to CO$ is a potential liability and this acknowledges that and paints the window black, so no one can see through it. This so reminiscent of the Soviet 5 year plans that never worked. Just change the names of the people involved and ‘reorganize’ and do the same thing again.

    This points to huge problems with ABLE. What no dentists or chiropractors willing to spend big bucks for ‘management tech’? Applied Scholastics has horrible reputation in the tutor and charter school market, what will become of all those clay tables? Criminon was always a joke, just a correspondence school scam that didn’t get anyone early prole. No real money there and few ‘recruits’ gained from it.

    A job at ABLE or Narc International used to be reward for loyal minions, are there no loyal minions left? NarCONon paid those uplines 8-10 million per year, I doubt that any other ABLE operation did so well, but the ‘hubtard school of management’ cannot make up that income. They have such a horrible reputation that fewer and fewer use their services. Not even Grant Cardone and Elena can fix that and they are next on the diminishing returns list.

    I do hope the dear leaders IAS speech is leaked, putting the spin on this ‘improvement’ is going to make Sherman’s head dislocate and disappear.

      They’ll do as they always do. Create “non scio” groups in disparate areas, publicly not aligned specifically with the czerch, have them raise funds, promote their “causes”, and then, for “official implementation”, go to the pols and get them to endorse their “programs”. Publicly bleat out that they’re “winning” and then try to slip other programs into the public venues. All however, like Narconon, will be aimed at getting money into Munchkin King Miscavige’s (a tip of the hat to NolaGirl on that one!) deep pockets and continuing the scam a bit longer. However, in this instance, I predict failure since all here, in the Bunker and the many other anti czerch movements, will spot and reveal such efforts bringing instant exposure to the public(s) being potentially affected. They really no longer have any way to sneak around without being caught.

    So Narconon Int and ABLE will be dissolved. All their assets will be funneled to other Byzantine entities so as to avoide the potential of having to take responsibility for any of their fraudulent overts which they are now being sued for?

    Someone should warn Ryan Hamilton.

      Les — don’t know what will happen to them exactly. But Ryan Hamilton doesn’t need to worry. It’s too late for that, and his plaintiffs will likely end up bankrupting Narconons and NN Int and maybe ABLE Int. But they cannot shift assets out of there now. It appears there may not be much left of Narconon so they will need something new put in place. I do believe this is one of the steps towards accomplishing that. Keep these non-delivery “social betterment functions” in the the church fold and cut the other liability prone ones loose (though not loose enough to not be able to promote their “miraculous” results).

        I agree – this very well could be the real intent behind any such move and to me is the most important part of your post.

        It could be modeled after what is happening with Scientology organizations in general which is:
        Donations for the IAS (so they can “advertise” or “buy buildings”) but no services delivered (other than reading books and bare-bottom-Bridge services like TRs,OpProByDup and at the high end of the Bridge, well, running around a pole). Not much damage suits should be expected from that – and if you didn’t like it or didn’t get any wins, well, you just need to do some more … and aren’t we generous: you can read books, sit on a chair, walk between walls or run around a pole as much as you like. At NO extra charge. It was never as cheap to circle the Bridge.

        When I read the post it crossed my mind that they in fact do away with the delivery organizations like NN and Criminon and solely specialize in “advertising” for these programs as advocating those methods doesn’t need any expertise in actually delivering a service and has hardly any liabilities attached to it.

        What if David Miscavige toutet something like this:

        As our expansion (since GAG, Ideal Orgs bla bla bla) is exponentially exponential (to the 47th degree bla bla) we are way beyond the point of rehabbing criminals, druggies and illiterate students ourselves. Everything I did was successful beyond our wildest imagination which is why I hereby officially declare Scientology to be in PHASE II regarding Planet Earth. We now need to get THEM to do it. We ARE clearing the planet now. This is no small task and will require immense amounts of …. (well, you guessed it: MONEY) …

        I could string this on and on, how GAT II harmonizes with Phase II and Miscavige, too 🙂 and how this fits in with the TV and Radio stations were have been buying and how Super Power “makes planetary clearing a reality” bla bla bla

        And then settle all the suits, pay the bills, sell the bad-PR infested “rehab” centers (at a loss) and only deal it some (in-house and hardly-seen) glossy adverts and finally get ALL staff fully on post as fundraisers!

        Interesting Mike. This may underlie DM overall strategy – minimize risk and liability. This may explain the shift in focus away from delivery and more towards donations. And the release of new courses like The Basics, where public essentially read a book and do some demos. No abilities gained = no lawsuits citing broken promises.
        And the push for SRD Co-audits, can always point the finger at yer twin.

        This can go as far as the shift of emphasis on 4th dynamic “social betterment” programs instead of the business of orgs.

        If you don’t promise anything, and don’t deliver anything, well, gee…what can they sue ya for?

        Many of the Narconon locations are failed resorts in remote venues that were probably picked up on the cheap and not likely to have a lot of value. I saw something posted about Arrohead being heavily mortgaged. If that is the general model the banks will be first in line for the nearly worthless real estate and the plaintiffs will have to find other assets to seize.

      EST/Landmark was completely separate from scientology. But it was the impetus for the “Op Z” project as Hubbard was jealous of their success and wanted a careful study done to determine what they were doing that worked and then implementing that in scientology.

    Mike, could this be a way to bury the failures of Applied Scholastics in particular, and potentially WISE as well? Or are they in a different part of the organization? There has been very little mention of Applied Scholastics from the corporate organization lately, since they’ve gotten blown out of virtually every state they were once approved for tutoring in. And it seems that WISE is increasingly viewed as parasites by those who are otherwise still drinking the Kool-Aid, with only a few exceptions. Any thoughts?

They will keep the “non-delivery” programs in the fold and try to limit the liability that stems from the “delivery” programs (NN, Applied Scholastics and Criminon). They will put more distance between themselves and those activities — but not enough to not be able to tout their amazing results.
