One of our Special Correspondents conducted a review of the "LRH Books Into Libraries Campaign" in Ireland. Before you review the results, this is another COUNTRY that has been announced as a DONE. These figures come from a study of the computer system used to track books in all Irish libraries. The catalogue of each library in each county were reviewed to find out how many "Basics" and "L. Ron Hubbard Encyclopedia" volumes are actually IN the library system (or ANY other LRH non-fiction title). The breakdown by County follows: Clare: 1, Carlow: 1, Cork: 14, Donegal: 28, Dun Laoghaire Rat … [Read more...]
David Miscavige = L. Ron Hubbard II
Charlie Chaplin would have had a field day with the unfolding insanity of Radical Corporate Scientology. David Miscavige, who, according to the church is "following in the footsteps of founder L. Ron Hubbard" (Karin Pinocchio Pouw) is apparently solidifying his position as "Founder II" with his imminent GAG II release. Clearly, GAG II is eagerly anticipated and will "follow in the footsteps" of LRH's filmed briefing where he introduced the Grade Chart. You can be sure, the GAG II lecture by Founder II will be more broadly disseminated and promoted than the "old" stuff from Founder I that … [Read more...]
Big Brother Invites You to Attend
There has been considerable discussion about the email circulated yesterday requiring information be sent in to Wig Adams at Flag for photo ID cards to be issued. Here is the email being sent out from Flag in response to that with a much shorter list of information being asked for. What made the email yesterday so believable is that they ARE in fact planning to issue ID cards to keep the unemployed, bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the internet out of Dave's Palace and Nuremberg Rally Events. See earlier post on this here. Notice the non-committal tone of this email "you re … [Read more...]
The Smith’s Let Another One Rip
Fresh news hot off the gossip train. These guys just let 'em rip and apparently expect everyone to be too polite to comment on their crassness. New prices are part of GAG II! How special.... AND, based on a thorough study of everything LRH ever wrote or said about pricing (wonder if that includes the fact that that Academy Levels are supposed to be equivalent to one month average wage...?) They already cancelled Service Completion Awards -- funny, I read the despatch traffic from LRH where he came up with that idea. Believe me, nobody OTHER than LRH could implement an org giving people cash … [Read more...]
Dante’s Inferno — Scientology Style
Here is the ultimate admission that corporate Scientology has arrived at its final destination. Giving money IS the new auditing. Turning over cash provides "case gain", confers remarkable abilities and powers on you and it gives you status (at least according to the endless stream of promotion, emails, videos and events). Everything anyone could ever want from a journey to spiritual enlightenment and "truth revealed". The descent into MEST -- which is after all what money represents and that old saying is very true, money can't buy you happiness (or love if you follow the Beatles … [Read more...]
Not The Friendliest Place In The World
A commentary sent in by a Special Correspondent that I felt worthy of broader coverage. It might be more appropriately titled with the astute observation MONEY IS THE ONE THING NOT TAINTED BY ASSOCATION WITH AN SP. A few posts back you commented that Flag's systematic and systemic practice of purging "undesirable" staff and public deserved a post of its own. Indeed it does. Having been a "purgee" I am personally familiar with this corporate policy. Furthermore I have witnessed numerous instances of others being purged. Interestingly enough, the purge flows both ways, as many people have … [Read more...]
UK Ideal Fundraising — The Delusion is Mind Blowing UPDATED
I have seen a lot of unreal delusory statements coming from inside the bubble but I think this one takes the cake (so far....) This is the UK "Landlord", responsible for tens of millions of pounds of real estate. I don't know him, but he sounds like a teenager who thinks if he is "enthusiastic" everything will turn out ok "we are winning and things are looking good" "we will make this cleared UK a reality and are doing this". The Porsche raffle is an interesting touch... But the real mind-blower is this: "The sun is still shining and summer is still here so move up to your next st … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Norwegian Shrinkage
This article was sent in by Anette Iren Johansen, who is taking time out from her own blog to act as Norwegian Special Correspondent for Something Can Be Done About It. Thanks Anette! Where is the massive worldwide unprecedented straight up vertical expansion of Scientology? Apparently it has not yet reached Norway. No expansion in the richest country of the world? I'm not sure whether the Vikings are cult proof or if this is just the worst example of Scientology's failed Ideal Org strategy. There is only one Church of Scientology in Norway. It goes by the name Oslo Org. In 2004 the church m … [Read more...]
Still More Ideal Org Insanity
These 3 email/promotipons were sent out last week. Each is as nutty as the next. All are irrefutable evidence that the Vulture Culture reigns supreme in the world of corporate Scientology. The first promotes (last week) the "Maiden Voyage" (that didn't happen in JUNE). But more bizarre is the bottom of this list..... Seems the Ideal Org Strategy in the "First Ideal Continent" has run into a few speed bumps chasms. As I recall, St Louis bought a building some years ago.... Hawaii has just never gone anywhere, even in this "era of Massive International Expansion greater in the last year than … [Read more...]
Voldemort Tent Update August 30
Well, you will be happy to hear, that like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, He's back. (Had to make a trip to Los Angeles to meet with lawyers to try and figure out how to wriggle out of the Monique Rathbun lawsuit). But in His absence there was lots of excitement in downtown Clearwater over His tent. Actually, over the illegal destruction of two live oak trees to make way for the tent. He no doubt issued the order to chop down the trees when He was not in town so he couldnt receive any embarrassing phone calls from the city. Interestingly, none of the reports, even Tony Ortega himself, r … [Read more...]
