Thursday Funnies

August 4, 2022 By Mike Rinder 33 Comments

  Back after our Alaska vacation -- which was wonderful. It's a breathtaking experience, unfortunately no photos do justice to its sheer scope and grandeur.   There are a few more funnies than usual as it's 2 weeks worth, so some are a little dated: Unimpressive Numbers They really think that 10 OT levels completed in a week is going to accomplish anything? I see only two OTV's and most are OT IV (which along with OT 1 are the fastest levels). One NOT's completion per week is not going to get the 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs for a LOOOONG … [Read more...]

  "Ideal" Continent Will be accomplished by getting buildings renovated for Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Never mind the fact there is not a single org in Indonesia, the Philippines, China, South East Asia, Oceania or the Indian subcontinent. Planetary Clearing is happening!   More ideal-y-ness   Community and Economic Development? If they're so good at this, how come their own communities are disappearing before their very eyes? They're down to a handful of scientologists in the major cities of S. Africa and you can count them on one hand in … [Read more...]

VM’s Swing Into Action

December 29, 2021 By Mike Rinder 14 Comments

Once again, the "largest private relief force on earth" has swung into fundraising and photo op action following the deadly tornados in Kentucky. As you can see, the ideal orgs in Nashville, Cincinnati (actually located across the river in Kentucky) and Columbus poured thousands, hundreds, tens of a few people into the relief effort a week or so after the event. They never said they are fast, just the biggest.     Actually, the ideal orgs in the region, despite having yellow vans, are not the ones coordinating the effort, it's being handled out of Los … [Read more...]

  Freedom for all California... One more empty building and California will be free at last! Not a chance ANYONE actually buys this. But the rah-rah seems to impress.   No we don't Not a one has EVER come back   Nothing quite like "Big Blue" It's ugly, dirty and empty. The celebration may be memorable, but not for the right reasons.   They're trying to sound fancy... If you have ever been to the "PAC Canteen" you will understand the crazy of them serving "lobster tail"   Scientology Thanksgiving  Not only are they NOT providing … [Read more...]

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
