Seems the wheels have come off in Austin (not only....). You may recall I happened to be in Austin for the last big event they held. That one was the "Victory Grand Slam Event." And now this. I wonder if they even knew the XGames were in Austin over the past weekend -- 150,000 showed up to watch and the opening event was a mile away in front of the Texas State Capitol. Almost begging to ask if anyone is interested? But here is the real story. Their last massive fundraiser and "milestone announcement" (funny these milestones seem to happen at every event) was in fact a bomb. And here is the … [Read more...]
What Would Ron Do?
I assume Tampa considers itself "on Source." I would be quite certain, that like all good scientologists are supposed to do, they often think to themselves: "What Would Ron Do?" After reading this, I am pretty sure I know what he would do: declare the "executives" of this org Fair Game and instruct Sea Org members to use R2-45 and reverse processes on them. He ranted for YEARS about "businesses on the backs of orgs" and "scientologists getting rich off org public" and these were not "criminals" (his word) charging $170 to do a seminar in the org giving their version of LRH tech -- pr … [Read more...]
Super Power Win “Feeling the Bacteria On My Skin”
This is a classic example of the over-the-top insanity that is born and nurtured inside the bubble. If this woman said "I am feeling better and more able to confront life" everyone (myself included) would simply wish her well. There may still be some who think she is crazy for announcing any "wins" from scientology, but generally normal people would be happy for her to be finding herself in a better place in life. But to assert nutty stuff like she does is only proof that she is simply pandering to the captive audience who all know what she is doing and nod their heads in agreement, not b … [Read more...]
Las Vegas Redux Plus Bonus
I had put up an earlier report showing the Las Vegas org parking lot with ONE car taken at 7pm on Saturday. That seemed a bit unfair as orgs shut their doors at 6pm on Saturday apparently and you couldn't expect anyone to be there "after hours" just because they like the place. So, I asked if someone could swing by and take some new shots during the week and during peak production hours. Special Correspondent Mark Fisher obliged and sent in these photos as well as a good write up to put this in perspective. Mark Fisher is an old time management person -- a trained evaluator, in fact he … [Read more...]
Coming Soon To A Scientology Bookstore Near You
A little humor to start the weekend.... Be the first in your area to get this new "Truth In Advertising" tshirt, made possible by your continued support of the IAS. Personally designed by COB RTC with the artistic flair we have come to worship, this will be something you can proudly wear in your org to show that you are part of the team (unless you are on the Purification or Running Programs in which case you must stick strictly and only to the approved designer outfits authorized by RTC to ensure you maintain 100% standard tech and your KSW is fully in). Thanks to one … [Read more...]
AOSHANZO Reaching For The Bottom
This is supposed to be an Advanced Org. It is especially damning that they are reaching all the way down to the bottom of the Bridge when they have just celebrated the grand opening of the Sydney "ideal" org just a few miles away. Surely all the public are flocking to Sydney org? And the massive boom from there and the ideal org in Melbourne doesn't seem to be flooding the AOSH with public? But the good news, the Snr CS has got the cliches down -- NOW is the time to arrive to progress fast, a turning point in the history of Scientology, the results speak for themselves. And he is on the ba … [Read more...]
More GAG II Fail
The below article is currently on the Scientologists back in comm blog. It is a wonderfully documented dismantling of the hype and lies spread about the wonders of GAG II. While it may not be entirely proper netiquette to republish their whole posting here rather than just giving the link, I believe the important thing is to make the information as widely available as possible and I am pretty certain the powers that be in S Africa will agree. "Golden Age Of Tech Part II" is a massive fail that accompanies the "ideal" org fail. They go hand in hand and are promoted as being the two pillars … [Read more...]
We ARE Responsible For Narconon Activities
This is not going to please Dear Leader. He is desperately trying to escape from HIS announcements that the church IS responsible for all sectors (yes, that INCLUDES NARCONON). Ruh roh. Someone needs to get fitted for a black boiler suit. BTW, love the "across it is entire geographic..." … [Read more...]
A Nice Change For A Change
A Special Correspondent just sent this to me. I found it interesting and somewhat heartening. If you read the message you will see that it does not come from the IAS Vultures but is asking for money to go directly to the OTL Central Europe to buy water, canned food, diapers and rubber boots. No pitch about distributing soggy copies of WTH or "we are going to train everyone on how to do nerve assists". If someone gives money for this, it might actually be spent on something useful. About time someone at least made an effort to appear to be doing the right thing. Good for OTL CEE. … [Read more...]
Flag “Boom” At The Top Of The Bridge
I have just received my copy of the latest Source magazine, along with the most expensive and wasteful "promo piece" I have ever seen -- but more on that in another post. The Source mag is fodder for a series of posts highlighting some of the most outrageous statements, contradictions and lies. Let's begin with the amazing statistics at the Sandcastle (the Flag AO) where the only boom would appear to be the sound of the waves of truth inexorably consuming it. I realize this is difficult to read, scanning small black print on gold doesn't work out too well. What this says … [Read more...]
