Something Can Be Done About It

Scientology’s Pandemic Pitch

By 75 Comments

I was forwarded this email from the EDs of Salt Lake City “ideal” org.

I reprint it here with spelling errors/typos exactly as it was received.

Another confirmation that this org is closed (public are not receiving services physically inside the org) — but they then go on in typical scientology style to say the answer to the question “Wait, does that mean the Org is closed?” is “Absolutely not, in fact, the org is more open than ever.”  Only in the deluded world of scientology would a shuttered org be more open than ever…

But “more open than ever” translates into more desperate for money than ever.

The big pitch is “Extension Courses” (which is really just “read a book” and send in answers to rudimentary questions at the end of each chapter). Pretty soon we will be hearing how they have “Highest Ever” extension course starts as proof that everything is going great inside the bubble. The “massive” Salt Lake City scientologist community is “conspiring” to “overlload” [sic] them with Extension Course lessons. “Imagine the power from an entire field moving through the knowlegde [sic] LRH gave us.” Yes, just imagine what 10 people reading books can do to a society!

But of course, pay us for your next service, (“we will be back in operation soon” even though we are “more open than ever”) — you don’t need your money, so give it to us now so you will “be ready”. Even for the true Kool Aid fanatics, this is a tough sell.

The real worry scientology has it that the people who are disconnected from the bubble, holed up in their homes watching TV or surfing the internet, are going to be weaned from the intravenous drip of crazy, and perhaps even stumble across some “entheta” and become curious. It is apparent, scientology is NOT making a “safe environment” or “clearing the planet” and the harsh reality of today is driving that home.

I am not sure they can avoid the inevitable. But of course, in times of great need, people turn to the craziest solutions. The societal upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s were fertile breeding grounds for scientology and a lot of other cults. Today there is a LOT more information available on the internet and in the media, so it seems unlikely that scientology will be seen as a “counter-culture” answer to the “status quo.”

Good Day,

I hope this finds you happy, healthy and overall sound in mind and body!

I know there is a resounding question on the Salt Lake City Scientology community right now: “So… what’s happening with the Org?”

The short answer is – Public are not receiving services physically inside the Salt Lake City Org premises until further notice. Our number one concern is the health of the staff and public of our great community. We take that responsibilty quite seriously. Knowing the strength and character of our great people, we will endoubtedly emerge from this as an even more magnificent group.

The follow up question then becomes: “Wait, does that mean the Org is closed?” The answer to that is absolutely not. in fact, the Org is more open than ever. We are simply delivering services to you in your own home! We have already begun servicing many of you by way of an extension course, and the big idea is for the Salt Lake City Org to deliver to EVERY Scientologist in their own home during this unique period of time. We are prepared for this, and I would love it if this massive Salt Lake City Scientologist community conspired to overlload us with extension course lessons. 😉

So therefore, to state it clearly, the STABLE DATUM and “call to action” for you right now is “Move on your extension course. Every day!”

Imagine the power generated from an entire field moving through the knowlegde LRH gave us. We will come out of this stronger and more capable than we have ever been! What’s that saying – When dealt a lemon, make lemonade? OK, so let’s say you are all set with your extension course… now you may be asking: “How can I help?”

In short, there are five (5) very important things you can do to help:

    1. Again – move yourself through the Golden Age of Knowledge extension courses (are you getting a theme here?). Your progress on the Golden Age of Knowledge helps everyone – not just you. It de-stimulates the world. You know this because I am sure you have gained LRH knowldge, applied to your surroundings, and have seen the positive effects that you have created.
    2. Secure your next major services. We will be back in operation as soon as possible, and we want you prepared to jump right back onto those major Grade Chart and training actions!
    3. Get those around you connected to Source and onto an extension course with the Org. Help get every Scientologist moving. Think about the impact of each Scientologist helping get another to acial themselves of the knowledge, and the snowball effect that could be created if we each got someone newly onto a course every week. Even thosr who are not Scientologists can be shown the benefit of doing Golden Age of Knowledge courses from home. A lot of people out there need something to do! Why not get them doing something that will truly help them- such as Self Analysis a home?
    4. Stay connected to the Org and each other – by phone or Facetime or Zoom. Find waays to digitally connect with voice and video. Texting or social media is not the same – make the time to call your fellow Scientologists. See what they need. Stay connected. Create teams of people who are taking initiative and coming up with bright ideas on how to be pro-survival.
    5. Send me an email – tell me about extension courses you’ve completed, other types of progress you’ve made, anything you’re particularly proud of, photos of you studying Scientology in your home, and just good news. I will take this and share it.

Okay, so what’s the take away here? Say it with me now… “Move on your extension course.” Also – I’m going to be sending out weekly updates to the entire field – highlighting good news – extension course completions, something I’m proud of, and possible a new bright idea for the week. Remember, the situation we are in will come and go – but the question will be what did we do with the time we had? Did we make “lemonade”?

I’ll close here by asking you to live with this sentence from Inspector General Network Bulletin No. 88 CURRENT SCENE ( AND WEEKEND OF EVENTS) “So once this current situation passes – and it will pass – you are going to need a seatbelt for when the rocket boosters fire for lift off.” – Chairman of the Board, RTC

  1. I mean, they’re not wrong about it being as busy as ever, considering that there are only like three scientologists here in SLC anyway. Even the locally-grown cult is losing steam in the city itself.

    The new ideal morgue is in a beautiful, historic neighborhood. They just happened to pick the most 1980s-credit-union-corporate-office-looking building on that street.

  2. “We take that responsibilty quite seriously.”

    Translation: SOMETHING scared the bejesus out of them, so they followed the “wog” regulation and stopped assembling in ANY numbers. Of COURSE they couldn’t acknowledge following medical advices. That would be admitting to being effect of the Wog world and MEST universe. Can’t do THAT!

      • And then there’s “Send me an email…and just good news.”

        Yo Salt Lake Public:
        Right! Don’t send us bad news! We don’t want to hear about your boring problems! Like how you might lose your job – or, how you jlost your job and have no clue if you’ll be able to pay your bills in the foreseeable future. Your fears of possible homelessness. We have one word for communication like this: BORING. Never mind that you’re having a hell of a time applying for unemployment because of the millions of other Americans applying for it online at the same time. Who cares? See, that’s BAD news and we don’t want to hear it! Neither would you if you had Miscavige crawling all over you like white on rice to get the stats up. And even if we were interested in your pedestrian wog problems we couldn’t do anything about them anyway! So spare us here at the org all the Who Cares Bullshit, zip it with the entheta and send us GOOD news. If there isn’t any, get creative and manufacture some. Thank you.

        Much love,
        Your E/Ds.

  7. I just read that the Italians on Nots are having more sessions and this is changing the situation. Well. A simple note:

    THE SITUATION IS NOT CHANGING! To date 12,500 confirmed deaths and 800 only today. Almost the average for a week, and today we surely exceed 13. 000.
    If there will be a drop in deaths and infections, it will be only for the measures taken by the government and for the citizens’ responsibility.
    Not because a small group of heads filled with theta are FORCED to stay at home and could not do more to pass the time than to do a few more sessions. It is also they will want the credit. Where were they 1 month ago so the deceased were fewer? I hate this crap.

  8. Tampa Flag has their junk mail workers increasing production. When they feel that they are losing the battle, it’s a mental boost for them to show superiority by mailing out propaganda that Scientology is good for everyone….but hey, I take all the inoculations my doc will give me, only if they were smart enough to know….

      They’re breaking their butts to flood the world with junk mail that NO one will read. At least not anyone who will take it seriously. We’ve all read the same-old “stuff”* , different day.
      *I say “stuff” instead of the ruder, more correct word, which replaced “balderdash”, more-or-less.

  9. What’s funny is that this was probably sent out because of the mass of phone calls from us SPs checking to see if they are open in flagrant disregard of nationwide COVID protocols. The Orgs probably thought that this uptick in calls was from ‘curious’ public who were being introduced to SCN through all the virus spreaders (VMs) going door to door handing out questionable ‘sanitizing’ substances and virus laden booklets.

    Reply

  10. I worked up the nerve to call the Sydney Class V org. I used the number on the Scientology website. I was surprised to get an automated message, from the phone company, that the number was disconnected.

    The website still reports that they’re open every day, but it’s probably that no-one updated it:

  14. Not much time to visit this website lately. Some fast updates from the Old World:

    Milano Org is still operating behind a curtain of “lockdown” PR; they send the auditors in the org and still deliver auditing, despite the risk of the auditor or the public person being fined or arrested by the Police when they go to the org, because of violating the lockdown.

    In Italy, a lot of Zoom seminars are held to make sure public Scientologists still receive some kind of “service” and are reminded to do their extension courses or pay for something. This includes IAS Fundraising Events held on Zoom.

    Europe Management Org is mostly in isolation (locked into their sleeping quarters) and is operating on minimum capacity, with few Sea Org Members still going on post. Note that “being in isolation” in their sleeping quarters means sharing a room with a dozen other people, so violating any social distancing measure.

    I’m curious on how The Dwarf is dealing with missed income… how many people will get into The Hole or run around some pole as a penalty for low production?

    Reply

    • Thanks for that report. Hardly surprising that an org is keeping on with covert auditing, in order to keep up stats and GI, not to mention control over their members – I wonder how many others still are.

      I’m almost surprised to hear that CLO EU Copenhagen (?) isn’t trying to keep up operations as close to normal as possible, as Flag and AOLA LA appear to be – I wonder if they are more worried about a serious crackdown by the Danish authorities.

      And I suppose it’s not totally surprising to see that they’ve adapted to the 21st century just enough to be using Zoom for regging when they can’t physically get their hands on their prey. I wonder if they’ll ever be able to expand much beyond that in use of technology, or if Hubbard’s policies have left them so hamstrung that subterfugues like trying to do in-person auditing in violation of safety regulations – not to mention putting their own people at risk in doing so – is their only possible response.

      Reply

      • I got a confirmation today: EU Management Org (CLO EU, Copenhagen) is operating on a bare minimum basis, but AOSH EU (Sea Org Service Org in Copenaghen) is somehow still delivering service. Don’t know exactly why they are “following the rules”, how they are “holding the Scientology structure together” and how many people are actually “on post”, my sources are still trying to find out.

        The IAS Zoom Fundraising Events have been moved to another platform (Jitsi) because Zoom is not secure enough for their fundraising activities (can you imagine somebody posting a full IAS Event on YouTube?). They are promoting the event like this:

        – What the WHO really is?
        – Did you know LRH already talked about it in 1968?
        – What is the real solution to calm down the “hysteria” situation in this planet?

        So they are asserting we don’t really have a virus problem, they are addressing hysteria and finding some asserted fault on WHO (they always need to name a specific enemy to fight, to raise the “necessity level” and get people to donate their money to “help fight the war”).

        This is total denial of the current planetary problem, this is just pep talk to convince people they must make huge donations for some “Planetary Salvage” campaign addressing something else than the real problem.

  15. On the bullet point number 3 sentence 3 there is a strange word that took me awhile to figure out what exactly they were trying to mean. Here is the sentence:

    Think about the impact of each Scientologist helping get another to acial themselves of the knowledge, and the snowball effect that could be created if we each got someone newly onto a course every week.

    Just what the heck ‘acial’ is I don’t know but I think they meant ‘avail’…it took a few minutes to figure that out…The whole sentence is crap of course and it makes me want to scream “There is NO IMPACT ever”…but that’s me.

    • I know a number of people who are applying for unemployment at this time. They have no safety nets, no savings. Their work backgrounds and salaries are being thoroughly checked, at least in my state. One friend spent the entire late afternoon online until early evening and then got kicked off because no applications are being taken after 7PM. Amazing.

  17. I still have trouble imagining that orgs aren’t trying to get away with some auditing in order to keep up stats and GI. If they stop that, under restrictions that could go on for months, admitting it is non-essential would undermine their reason for existence – and for needing physical orgs at all, much less the extravagant and fancy “ideal” ones. But similarly, I have trouble imagining how they’d take it to members’ homes, either, given their fanatical focus on the supposed importance of delivery environments and supervision being perfect.

    And apparently they’re so hobbled by their mid-last-century ideology and policy, and can’t do what so many other organizations are doing right now and moving functions including services online. Correspondence course are a bizarrely dated concept.

    I checked ScnTV, and they now feature a link to a 2-minute animated video based on the booklet they’re handing out – but nothing more topical.

  19. I was a Scientologist for about thirty years, was on staff and a contributor, and I have something to say:

    Hello to all of you current Scientologists that are searching the web, now that your eyes have been opened by the out-of-step response to the current world-wide situation by the COS.

    You will soon find out, and you have probably suspected, that not all of what you have been told has been true.

    We are happy to have you looking at what is called, THE TRUTH. You have been told it is called ENTHETA.

    It will not be an easy journey, trust me on this, but it will be a worthwhile journey. I hope that you keep looking, and believe me, in the words of someone that you know, “So once this current situation passes – and it will pass – you are going to need a seat belt for when the rocket boosters fire for lift off!!”

  21. Scientology has worked very hard to establish itself as a major public presence in the “anti-vaccine movement” at perhaps the single worst moment in modern human history.
    David Miscavige’s paid lobbyist, Greg Mitchell, has vociferously publicly advocated against the time tested public health practice of vaccinations as a means of preventing mass infection.
    Likewise, Scientology spokesmen Rizza Islam and Tony Muhammed have advanced an assortment of ancient and modern cockamamie conspiracy theories from “blood libels” to Vitamin C “miracle” cures…all designed to dissuade people from receiving proper health care while simultaneously fomenting hatred of Jews and white people.
    All this, even as Scientology had been hoping that the world would forget the “Measles on the FreeWinds” fiasco of 2019.
    None of it will be forgotten any time soon.
    “Facts” as John Adams observed, “are stubborn things” and the Internet is replete with them where Scientology is concerned.
    And these facts are just the tip of a very large, very dirty Scientology iceberg.

        Scientologist: ” Yes. I met someone in the beginning of March, we went ontp 3 dates. Then he went to flag for some service scheduled previously. Since flag is still open for services, he decided to stay longer there. We talk or video everyday. Going well.”

      • Zorch, we know that people already at Flag and AOLA are staying there and continuing on as planned – plus probably getting regged to do even more – so no surprise there. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they and local orgs are sneaking some people in, but there’s no good evidence for that.

        Amazon sales of Dianetics are probably so weak that it wouldn’t take much to spike them, though I can’t imagine that anyone outside of Scientology is stuck at home and so desperate and out of touch as to buy the book. I wonder if Scientology is back to their old tricks of having members order large numbers of books, perhaps with the idea of giving them away to neighbors stuck at home, in order to artificially inflate sales. Here’s what I found for the paperback edition of the book, though no trend information:

        Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #64,094

        It the hardcover version is about 4 times further back in the rankings – I wonder if that has something to do with how they came up with the 4X figure.

        Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #226,446 in Books

        Also similarly ranked in paperback are old cult-related books like the Bhagavad Ghita (Hare Krishnas), as well as works by by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Transcendental Meditation) and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (AKA Osho, of the infamous Antelope, Oregon cult compound). The Satanic Bible by La Vey, of the Church of Satan, sometimes classified as a sort of sibling of the Church of Scientology in descent from Aleister Crowley’s OTO and Thelema, is much more popular – 10X, actually:

        Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #6,866

  25. Jevon Graham, Clearwater Fire & Rescue division chief of emergency management, said he has not visited Scientology facilities but has talked with church staff about their coronovirus protocols. He said their social distancing and decontamination policies on paper align with the county safer at home order.

    OH GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so much better Jevon….their policies align with the county on PAPER. That seals the deal.

    When you are investigating a suspected arsonist do you write him a letter asking him if he did or didn’t light the match and then proceed accordingly based on his answer?

    Mr. Dahmer did you or did you not kill and eat those people? No, OK then case dismissed.

    • This is another sterling example of Clearwater City Management/Politicians pat response to questions about Scientology…state SCN ‘policy’ regarding issue and repeat. That way if any nosy newspaper or media person asks about Clearwaters official stance regarding SCN in times of COVID they can say ‘SCN policies align with our policy’. Clearwater politicos and hired management have proven time and again that they are in SCNs pocket. Who knows how many Scientologists are in city government in one position or another. More likely these ‘officials’ are being paid for their statement or are just afraid of the big elephant in the room.
