Because I have other things planned this weekend, I am cheating a bit and reprinting an earlier blog posting. I feel it is important, perhaps there will be some who have not read it before, and in my estimation the message bears repeating. I may make this a regular feature as I look back and there have been a lot of material published over the last few years.... It also seems specially appropriate on this weekend of IAS celebrations where the sheeple have been regaled with tall stories of the magnificent human rights work of the IAS in "guaranteeing freedom for all" and the church has … [Read more...]
Scientology Whale Horror Story
Yesterday, Tony Ortega had a remarkable story on his blog about Bob Duggan, the biggest whale in scientology. Now more of the details have come to light with a new story on the South African blog which exposes some of the sordid underbelly of this bizarre story. This whole affair is further proof (as if any were needed) that scientology has truly become the religion that worships money. If you have enough of it, and give it to them, you are not only lauded with phony titles and big sparkly trophies, there is apparently NOTHING that cannot be provided by the "church". Their model is … [Read more...]
Stockholm Syndrome and Faustian Deals
From one of our Swedish Special Correspondents. He took a trip to the hinterlands of Stockholm on Saturday afternoon to check out the 47X expansion in his area of the world. I will try to tell you my observations of Scientology's unprecedented expansion in my corner of the World. When I studied medicine in the early 80s you could always see Scientologists selling Dianetics or that Protection-against-radiation-book at Stockholm Central Station. The Church of Scientology had an Org in Central Stockholm. Than they dissappeared, I don't know when but it was many years ago I … [Read more...]
We Are Filming The Procession
Hahaha. They just raised the quota from 7,000 to 10,000 because Dear Leader pr0nounced that 10,000 should be in attendance. So, whether there are 500 or 5,000 people that show up (they are being HEAVILY pushed from ALL OVER THE WORLD to attend) it will "officially" be 10,000 in attendance. They will stage a bunch of shots as usual where the frame is filled with bodies and you cannot see the surroundings so there is no way of telling how many there are. But they will assert the shots are "proof" of the massive attendance for the monumental event. It is really crass that they even … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Nation of Islam taking over Tampa Org? This is the latest news from the Tampa model ideal org's St Petersburg "Life Improvement Center." For those of you who do not live in the area, St Petersburg is NOT Harlem or South Central LA. This is either a 50's throwback and they have segregated courserooms, or its a collection of NOI people who showed up en masse on Tuesday evening based on orders from their superiors (and judging from their attire, it is the latter). They are the ONLY public present and the only white people are the Tampa Org staff. Also for those who don't know, this … [Read more...]
The IAS Event Is Already A Bomb
Wow, there are seismic upheavals going on in LA on every front. They have now downgraded the annual IAS event from the Shrine to the Bonaventure to L. Ron Hubbard Way? Too cheap to pay for a hall at all now? Afraid there won't be enough people show up to even fill up the Bonaventure? Yet look at the description of this event that follows the "Monumental Advance" poster.... THIS IS THE BIGGEST EVENT IN IAS HISTORY! (where have I heard that before?) ...something is being presented at this event that is SO big, it will change our lives, personally. This is not hype. … [Read more...]
The Crack Command Team
I have been otherwise engaged for a few days and am catching up on the emails and messages that have been sent in since Friday. Trying to get up to date on everything and I will attempt to respond to everyone as quickly as I can and post the information of interest. The goings-on at the Ideal Pacifica Bridge are generating considerable buzz. And not of the good variety. Someone who was in PAC orgs over the weekend told me they saw a lot of Sea Org members and virtually NO public, particularly in ASHO. And apparently the heavy-handed ethics actions have gotten rolling. Of course, the … [Read more...]
Flag’s Latest Good News
An appropriate question for Mr. Mintz. Flag is just limping along, with every stat he reports either downtrending or level long-term. No doubt he doesn't notice. He just thinks 8 Clears and 8 OT VII's a week is "good news" so keeps sending it out. And as long as it has a heading saying it's good news, everyone apparently buys it. Explains why so many people were sent from Flag to try to boost the ideal Pacifica Bridge. Compared to the earlier posts, this is how the stats look (these figures are earliest weeks first, these latest reports added to the … [Read more...]

No Wonder CO AOLA Was Busted
This is a page from the latest Advance mag (soon to be renamed Consolidate mag and thereafter Fall Back mag). This comes out maybe a couple of times a year, though I believe it is supposed to be monthly. Just for sake of giving them the benefit of the doubt, let's assume this is the production for a single month. (Though of course the same people appear on here for several services that SHOULD take more than a month). Even just a single month -- being kind -- it is astonishingly bereft of volume. If they are making 7 new Solo Auditors a month (Solo 2 Comps) and 5 OT III's this is so … [Read more...]
