I was the Board I/C of all on the NOTS HGCs at one time or another. I have never worn braces but one of my juniors did.

Bill, I knew the personnel of FSO but not many personally. I knew some Dept 10 people from being on lines there at one point. 12-1 HGC mainly. I saw you at adjacent cabana HGC Board a couple of times. NOTS HGC? I think you had braces at the time but we never really met.

Anyway, I knew you guys (and gals) were the workhorses of the HGCs but got little recognition..

Mike; forgive me if you are using your real name. I certainly did not know everyone at FLB and I had a CAT scan when I finally got treatment for the AIDS. The neurologist said that I had “marked brain volume loss” and I had dementia at the time. At that time I did not even recognise my wife. My memory of past events seems pretty good though.

I don’t know what happened.to Chester. Obviously, you are someone I know or you wouldn’t know that I knew Chester. I understand if you do not.want to post your name. I post mine because I want the bastards to know that I am still alive.

Figures. I had more OT ability before I got into Scientology, and they took that away at great expense.

I checked to see what I could find out about the Tucson mission.

Apparently the missionholder blew about 10 years ago, and then some of the dedicated locals committed to chipping in $100 a month apiece to keep the mission open – which itself says something about mission economics these days – until people bailed on the arrangement, too, and somewhere along the way an attempt by someone else to take over the mission failed, with the result that the mission was reported to be in the process of being evicted, with all its materials put in a dumpster.

Apparently the mission is nominally open in a newer location. But I found a recent report of a scientologist looking for services, who had no luck getting in touch with the mission or finding any time that it was actually open. Such is the state of many if not most of the missions these days.

The Tucson Mission is perfect to make Ideal if it isn’t already. I have not seen any updates since 2013. I think at one time they had a few students doing the comm course.

Miscavige thinks that increasing floor space will increase membership.

He must also think that creating new materials and new tech will drive up the size of the flock.

Welcome to the New Mark Ultra VIII Super Duper E-Meter having the most ridiculous specifications which are meaningless, $20 million to design, selling for $5,000.

A good Engineer could develop such a device on a napkin during a lunch break. Parts and labor cost less than $500. Unfortunately, David went to Scientology School and doesn’t know any better.

It’s all about MEST. Miscavige has disconnected from the human race.

From The Bunker:

THE BUNKER: How does the church get involved in identifying the SP that is making you PTS?

CLAIRE: It’s done with a PTS interview, where you are asked when you got sick or “roller-coastered” — had poor results in your courses — and who you were connected to right before that.

This establishes your “PTS item” — in other words, the person you are PTS to. And that person is an SP.

I would like to note that there were numerous times during the 14 years I worked at Scientology’s International Headquarters near Hemet that when staff members were labeled as PTS, in their PTS interviews the person they were found to be PTS to was David Miscavige.

And here I, Peabody, thought I was the only one.

Peacemaker,

Sounds like DM has already become his own version of Howard Hughes. Except for the fact that Hughes stopped grooming himself and unlike Hughes Miscavige takes otherwise fanatical physical care of his health, the similarities to the way Hughes operated back in the day in his hotel suite and the way Miscavige operates today are remarkable to me.

Miscavige sees only his lawyers and a small coterie of staff at either Flag or, from what I’m reading, to a lesser degree lately, Int Base.

His money is used solely for the purpose of creating and maintaining a luxurious, tightly controlled, hermetically sealed existence.

No real, direct human contact with anyone outside his own tight little circle.

Why, based on this claim of being the head of the world’s fastest growing religion, Miscavige would be meeting regularly with ALL the leaders in the civilized world, all the opinion leaders running this planet. including the Pope.

He would be invited by the Queen to Buckingham Palace. Interviews of him would be in religious publications and the MSM would be inviting him on cable shows and NPR would be interviewing him.

The leader of the world’s fastest growing religion – ostensibly anti abortion, would like the Evangelicals definitely be a Republican constituency in America and all of the GOP Congressmen and Senators and governors up for re-election would be courting Miscavige like crazy for his peoples’ votes, just as they court Tony Perkins and Billy Graham’s son (I forget his name). All the movers and shakers national and local would be interested in Miscavige. He would be invited everywhere.

And yet he has no direct human contact with anyone of importance or even his own parishioners!

All he does are 6 or so event filmings, and possibly a few ribbon yankings for Ideal Org openings and to these the press are cordially NOT invited!

You can’t make this stuff up. What a story this man’s life will make some day!

Right the second time, Rick! The numbers do not add up!
You live in Charlotte? I live just west of you in Shelby! We should hook up sometime!

Oh…you’re good! Very good!
