One of our Special Correspondents sent in these photos of the SP Building this morning. It's looking like all will be ready to roll for the momentous occasion. It's going to take a mighty big pair of scissors to cut that ribbon.... And in keeping with tradition, somehow they have found a way to include a phallic symbol in the backdrop Meanwhile, in preparation for the influx of registered ticket holders, the new "The Terrace" restaurant was opened in the Oak Coven. It was witnessed by a standing room only crowd of FSO staff and outer org trainees. … [Read more...]
It’s NOT About The Money…. Really.
More tidbits from inside the bubble. This is an interesting preview of GAG II and gives an indication about how He plans to spin it. 1. We collected "everything LRH ever said or wrote" -- for about the fourth time. Same line that was used when the "LRH originals project" was done so it could all be put on titanium plates. Then it was stated for the first set of Tech Vols. Again for the second set of tech vols. For the "new" OEC. For the Basics. For GAT. For the "Golden Age of Knowledge." etc etc etc This is pretty much expected -- after all, He has positioned Himself as D/Source For … [Read more...]
A Timeless Moment in Wholetrack History. Huh?
Facebook Police Chief and ex-SO, Jojo Zawawi reveals some interesting facts in her latest posting on the Facebook "Scientologists" group. Apparently her effort is to "D/A" the spoof email that was sent out by thetaburst informing one and all that the dates of the events may change. But she also reveals some other interesting news: There will be no showings at Missions. There will be no repeat showings and no DVD's made. But gosh, if this is so damned important, why not let everyone see it? And why no "repeat showings" (don't count on it) and no DVD's available. Simple answer: when Ma … [Read more...]
What Miscavige Aspires To
Dan Koon sent me this link last night with a comment: " I am positive that DM would die of jealousy if he ever saw this." This morning your assignment is to read this article entitled "20 Things I Learned While I Was in North Korea". It is a sobering , but very worthwhile exercise. You will see plenty of parallels between Corporate Scientology and the Ideal Country of North Korea. This is a picture of the end result of the attempts to control everyone inside the bubble. The control of information. The regimentation of thinking. The punishment for stepping out of line. The massive marble bu … [Read more...]
Random Facebook Mutterings from The Bubble
Some random thoughts from the Scientologists FaceBook page. The tension is mounting. They are getting giddy with excitement. I must credit Miscavige. This is a real PT Barnum effort. The gullible masses are drooling just waiting for Him to tell them how much money that have to turn over this weekend. The comments alongside the photo are reproduced below for your reading pleasure.... History in the making! Brown-nosing 101. Gary Wattman is a master. I wonder if he would still be gushing if he heard what "COB" said about him.... 1000 remaining local Sci … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts from Inside and Outside The Bubble
Register Now. Or Be Shot. Or Something.... The schizoid ballet being danced by Big Brother over attendance at the Single Most Important Event In The History Of The Universe(tm) is rather amusing to watch. While many Special Persons have reported being contacted to attend (clearly ALL stops are off on the call-in for this -- people who have heard nothing for years are suddenly being told to come on down), the other side of the coin is the paranoia that an "unacceptable person" may get in. Many reports that people trying to attend have been told to "report to your local HCO" when applying f … [Read more...]
Scientology Epitaph — Give Us Your Money. Now.
Even though the building is officially complete, you can STILL give us money and pretend you contributed to making it happen. We will ALWAYS be happy to take your money and tell you anything you want to hear -- even inscribe your name on the COMPLETED building as if you helped "make it happen." The big selling point is not "we need to build a building" but "you can still buy some status if you buy now!" Crass is hardly an adequate description. This will be engraved on the headstone of Scientology Inc. GIVE US YOUR MONEY. NOW WE TOOK IT. NOW THERE'S NOBODY … [Read more...]
Wendy Bowman — of the “Joburg 18” — Tells Her Story
The South African Scientology field is being treated to some history lessons from some of its most illustrious members. While the church is busily trying to black PR the Joburg 18, they are simply sending out their stories. Anyone with half a brain can read this and the letter from Gaye Corbett and know without a shadow of a doubt "This is no SP, in fact, if someone declared her and her husband they are either insane or a sociopath." Thank you for standing tall Wendy and all the rest of the Joburg 18 and friends. There was an old term "Founding Scientologist" reserved for those who had b … [Read more...]
Counter In-tent-ion Update — The Circus is Coming to Town
Charlie Frago of the Tampa Bay Times has provided a new update on the requirements the church has to meet to satisfy the city for the GAG II/Sooper Power weekend of over-the-top back-patting and self-congratulations that the planet is at last now being cleared by a building. Looks like the city is basically allowing the church to close off Fort Harrison to hold the ribbon cutting. This is good news for all outside observers. Glimpses will be had of the magnificent celebrations, what He has to say will be heard ringing through the streets of Clearwater for believer and non-believers alike, … [Read more...]
Miscavige, the Latam Strategy and Opinion Leaders
SadStateofAffairs made a comment about the Jobur Jackboots that was a blast from the past when he mentioned the "Latam Strategy." The comment was right on. The Jobur Command Team is exactly following the Latam Strategy. For most of you, this is meaningless, so I will provide a little background that is necessarily abbreviated. The topic is instructive to the current scene. In the early 80's there was considerable concern by LRH (who was in seclusion) that he and management had lost control of Scientology. There is a LOT of LRH traffic about the "Mission Holder Mutiny" and the Guardian's … [Read more...]
