"We are actually running governments!" It is astonishing the level of self-delusion that these people engage in. It would be VERY interesting to find out which government(s) they are referring to and check in with them -- "Are you aware that you are being "run" by scientology?" More IAS -- Give us your money NOW It just never ends. But what an amazing feat -- with 2000 public on lines and 12,000 local scientologists, they have managed to pull together 69 donations "that I can document." As always to celebrate such milestones we, the Flag … [Read more...]
Clearwater Belongs To Us, Wogs Not Welcome
A local Special Correspondent sent this in this morning and I thought it worth reprinting. Pity the media don't REALLY analyze what is going on. The article is on MyFox Tampa Bay, headlined: “Church of Scientology expresses opposition to proposed aquarium.” Aside from the main message that the Church is opposed to plans to move the Clearwater Marine Aquarium downtown, there is this quote, “The objections to the project were coupled with a recent economic impact study conducted by Florida State University. It says the Church directly provides 4,300 jobs in the Clearwater area, with a direc … [Read more...]
The New Sea Org “Model” Class V Org
The new LA Org Mag is being sent out. A special correspondent scanned and sent it to me. Portions of it appear below. It is the hype mag for the new universe of scientology at LA Org -- the org that "sets the standards for making planetary clearing a reality." Even though they haven't made a single clear. Along with some other fine features, it provides a listing of the key execs and their experience. Then it continues with many pages of apparently endless superlatives about the incredible services they are offering, as if they never offered them before when they were … [Read more...]
On David Miscavige’s Behavior
Another in what will be an ongoing, if sporadic, series of reposting earlier important posts. I originally wrote this for Marty's blog way back in January 2010 and then republished on my blog on April 6, 2013. My perspective on things has changed a lot since then, and I would add that today, I consider David Miscavige to be even more accurately described in Martha Stout's book The Sociopath Next Door. However, this was originally written against the criteria described by L. Ron Hubbard in 1953. I still find the analysis useful, and for those who like to use the words of L. Ron Hubbard to g … [Read more...]
Scientology Whale Horror Story
Yesterday, Tony Ortega had a remarkable story on his blog about Bob Duggan, the biggest whale in scientology. Now more of the details have come to light with a new story on the South African blog which exposes some of the sordid underbelly of this bizarre story. This whole affair is further proof (as if any were needed) that scientology has truly become the religion that worships money. If you have enough of it, and give it to them, you are not only lauded with phony titles and big sparkly trophies, there is apparently NOTHING that cannot be provided by the "church". Their model is … [Read more...]
We Are Filming The Procession
Hahaha. They just raised the quota from 7,000 to 10,000 because Dear Leader pr0nounced that 10,000 should be in attendance. So, whether there are 500 or 5,000 people that show up (they are being HEAVILY pushed from ALL OVER THE WORLD to attend) it will "officially" be 10,000 in attendance. They will stage a bunch of shots as usual where the frame is filled with bodies and you cannot see the surroundings so there is no way of telling how many there are. But they will assert the shots are "proof" of the massive attendance for the monumental event. It is really crass that they even … [Read more...]
Monumental Announcement Under The Big Top
It is hardly a surprise that there is a lot of hype about the upcoming IAS "Big Top" circus event. There is hype for every event. And the next event is always so much better than the last one. But a few people have reported that there is talk of a "monumental announcement" similar to the announcement of "Golden Age Of Tech" for "our 4th dynamic programs." Now, this could of course just be typical "call-in" patter and the "monumental announcement" will be a new DVD and booklet "exposing psych crimes" that is going to be mailed out to "every opinion leader on earth." And I don't doubt there w … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Nation of Islam taking over Tampa Org? This is the latest news from the Tampa model ideal org's St Petersburg "Life Improvement Center." For those of you who do not live in the area, St Petersburg is NOT Harlem or South Central LA. This is either a 50's throwback and they have segregated courserooms, or its a collection of NOI people who showed up en masse on Tuesday evening based on orders from their superiors (and judging from their attire, it is the latter). They are the ONLY public present and the only white people are the Tampa Org staff. Also for those who don't know, this … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies On Friday
The vultures are circling... "South Bay" sounds so much more gentrified... Not normally used to describe Inglewood -- more like Redondo Beach and Pacific Palisades. But no big surprise that Inglewood needs staff. Last I heard they had less than 30. About 2,000sq ft per person. Cross Order Alert I thought everyone was supposed to be at the PAC graduation tonight? CC doesn't seem to have the memo. But you gotta love the fact that the biggest celebrity the scientology Celebrity Centre has to promote on its "come to graduation" poster is Tony Muhammad the Nation of … [Read more...]
PAC/LA Org Update: Contraction Is Expansion
Thursday Funnies have been postponed to Friday in order to update the happenings in PAC. I was out of town all day yesterday so didn't have a chance to compile the information sent in from various sources. This is clearly a topic of considerable interest and The Funnies won't lose their funny in a day.... Tonight (Friday) is the Big Spin presentation of "greatest expansion ever" news with the combining of two Day and Foundation Orgs and the wholesale "letting go" of the contracted staff of the Model Ideal Org. What is astonishing is that as long as ANY news is presented as … [Read more...]
