First 5,000 OT VIII’s

February 14, 2021 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

OK, so they have not been able to get 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs in 40 years, so they have come up with a new plan. Half as many through OT VIII. The 10,000 is derived from some obscure Hubbard statement about 10,000 people being able to control the destiny of earth. Here is how Clive Rabey put it back in 2014: ORIGIN OF THE 10,000 TARGETThis campaign was primarily based on the following LRH quote:"At any one time on Earth there were not more than about 10,000 people of a caliber that was sufficient to do a little steering or leading. There's only about 10,000 of them, really." - … [Read more...]

Big News from Flag!!!!

May 2, 2020 By Mike Rinder 63 Comments

Some hot off the presses "good news" from Flag in the form of an EMail from our old friend Clive Rabey. Apparently LA is "leading the way for the scientology world" with 2 OT VI Comps (meaning two new people auditing Solo NOTs) and one OT VII (Completion of Solo NOTs). Woohoo, that is mind-blowingly awesome. It is the best in the whole world. And not only that. They have 20 people "ready to arrive" once the "travel restrictions"(?) are lifted (I was unaware you could not travel between LA and Tampa?) And this is "totally showing the way how to turn this current crazy social motion out … [Read more...]

Flag Stats Prove Massive Fail

September 1, 2019 By Mike Rinder 70 Comments

They're boasting about their accomplishments again -- and their boasts are the best evidence of their complete failure.   Super Power and Cause Resurgence A couple of notes at the outset. It seems they have adopted the IAS "successful action" -- to get people to show up for reg events these days you need to offer free meals. Flag, being the Mecca of Technical Perfection and the Friendliest Place on Earth is going one better. Flying in their own chefs "as seen on [sort of] TV" to whip up some pizza and gelato. Should generate massive crowds. I do note they never show any pictures … [Read more...]

Flag Failing – 10,000 on Solo NOTs Hopeless

September 24, 2018 By Mike Rinder 171 Comments

Oh dear. Things not looking for the 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs target. They've been working on this target for nearly 30 years and are still not close. Apparently, even the chief cheerleader for achieving this target has given up. For years the D/Captain for Delivery Flag AO Mr. Clive Rabies has been doing "mandatory briefings" for "OT's only" to try to drum up enthusiasm for people getting onto OT VII. Now he has been reduced to doing personal org board "workshops" at the FH for $25 a head. I suspect the truth is that the number of people auditing on OT VII continues to … [Read more...]

Still Trying After All These Years

January 23, 2018 By Mike Rinder 60 Comments

Another "out of the mouths of babes" admission from the highest levels of the crumbling scientology empire. They have been trying to get 10,000 "onto or through" Solo NOTs since it was released 35 years ago. Realize, this is a CUMULATIVE number. Everyone who has ever finished is counted. Along with everyone who is now "on the level"...  And that certainly includes all those who have been declared or "blown off" the level without completing it. Really this is a measure of "all time number of people who STARTED OT VII regardless of what happened to them subsequently." This year's target … [Read more...]

By filing a fraudulent takedown request Watchtower is just sticking to the usual cult playbook, but I expected more from @TeamYouTube. They have a responsibility to shield ex-cult creators from obvious attempts to silence and censor by their former faiths. https://youtu.be/OxEkKyXk-uo
