A "seminar" from the mighty Freewinds at a MISSION? In a city with ten ORGS? No Ideal Org is willing to sponsor a "Freewinds seminar" with the Incredible Gavin Wonderstone? Let alone an SO Org? Instead it is the virtually defunct Beverly Hills Mission in Santa Monica.... Oh, how the mighty have fallen.... … [Read more...]
A Selection Of Idiocy From The Bubble
With the hype machine now churning out emails by the minute promoting the wonders of the "MV Events" there are some interesting notes in a random selection of emails that arrived over the last few days. CC kicks things off with Dave Petit pretty much running a standard "party line" though I wonder if he feels especially stupid repeating the lie that this is the 25th Anniversary of the Maiden Voyage that occurred in 1988? So typical of scientology these days -- Dear Leader canceled MV last year as he wasn't ready with GAG II and when he cancels something it is canceled with authority. June … [Read more...]
First Ideal City
The rah-rah is reaching nutball levels in PAC -- promoting completing Valley org will make them the first "Ideal City"? How do they figure these things out? There are lot of cities that only have one org and it is "ideal" so arent they "ideal cities"? Or do they require more than one org (of course they do -- even 5 orgs in LA is not even scratching the surface). But you will hear the sheeple in London talking about how their ideal org is "going to Clear London" and the same in Melbourne and Joburg and everywhere else. They have long since considered themselves an "ideal city." Ah well, … [Read more...]
Selective Quotes
The selection of short, out-of-context LRH quotes is endemic in Radical Scientology promo materials. They need to somehow give the impression that what they are doing is based on LRH Policy. This is a struggle since any kind of fundraising other than selling services and books and meters was severely forbidden. This is a great example. Looking at this you would think that LRH is telling people to spend millions of dollars on new buildings. Read the promo and then read a next few sentences of the same policy. The actual policy states: By showing a good org mock-up, we … [Read more...]
I Thought The IAS Had This In Hand?
Remember Shake and Bake Flash's recent post about how the IAS is pulling off massive international dissemination, driving millions onto the Bridge. I guess it is happening everywhere but Houston. This candid email tells the truth about what life is like out there on the fringes of the bubble where they actually contact the public. While she dutifully offers the required worship of GAGII and the MV event with a tired sockpuppet "sock blowing" it gets real from there. Believe me, Houston is a microcosm of org and missions everywhere. Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014From: Mary Ann DurhamSubject: … [Read more...]
Valley Of The Dulls
I guess Quinn Taufer's brilliant "Affluence Analysis" didn't really pan out. They went from a million dollars to $8,500. I would call that straight down and vertical. But never fear, because Kathy Heard reported that COB remarked "just get Valley done." So, of course, this is the command they will all follow. They remind me of the robot from Lost In Space but without his ability to say "that does not compute."

More IAS BS
Shake and Bake Flash is at it again. I wonder if he knows the information he is circulating is bs, or if he thinks it is the "greatest good" to keep getting money out of people to "save the planet" even though there is not a shred of evidence any such thing is happening. Check out his pitch and then a few comments afterwards to put things into perspective. Here are the ACTUAL statistics for scientology.org from Alexa. Global Rank 155,518 64,668 Rank in United States 66,492 For anyone not familiar with Alexa, this means that for all internet sites, there are 155,51 … [Read more...]
Advertising Failure
Why do they keep advertising their failures? Seriously, this guy didnt handle the restim from a general anaesthetic on Dianetics or NOTs or two previous Purifs? For sure they didn't give his money back for those failures -- or even credit. This is part of the "thought stopping" that goes on inside the bubble. It is such an ironbound law that you never invalidate anyone's wins that they will shout absolute nuttiness from the rooftops and not even notice it's crazy. Somehow they have convinced the sheeple that there is a "technical breakthrough" on the Purif with GAG II and now it's … [Read more...]
Flag Is Empty
This tells you everything you need to know about the state of the GAG II "boom" at Flag. It's a massive bust. Not only are they desperate to get people onto Solo NOTs, they don't even have public on Super Power or the Running Program. If they did, they would not be able to afford to send out their tech staff to try and convince people to arrive for services -- they would be too busy delivering. I have NEVER seen an entire tech division sent out on tour before.... It must be grim at Flag. All nighters. Scrubbing dumpsters. Rice and beans. And every "handling" based on the "fact" … [Read more...]
Leis, Glowsticks, A Moose And A Gift From COB…
Just couldn't resist this. As the Special Correspondent who sent this to me commented "I think the Flag OTC have jumped the shark" The "execs" seated at the front wearing leis (someone went to Hawaii? or is this just MV=ship=islands=hula girls=leis level of stupidity) and glowsticks (planning a rave?) A "Special guest" to the Flag OT Committee meeting -- the "Ideal Org Moose Mascot." Moose? Because it's big and dumb and has an enormous appetite for anything green? But, most important of all: please show up on Sunday as all attendees will receive a "special gift from C … [Read more...]
