This one is another perfect seminar designed for Dear Leader. And it's not just any old seminar, it's good old Arte Maren of Guardian's Office infamy and he is delivering it at the "Community Learning Center"? I really dont think the community needs a center to train people on how to take someone's money under the guise of helping them succeed. I note there is another upcoming special Miscavige seminar too -- the Do's And Don'ts Of Social Media. I wonder is that includes tips about keeping your convicted child sex offender felons off your facebook pages? From: Holly Haggerty & … [Read more...]
They’re Thinking Small At Flag
Here is the latest "shout it from the rooftops" announcement from Jeff Mintz with "good news" from Flag. Still, week after week, "Flag" produces more Objectives completions that Super Power Comps! Though they seems to have increased the Running Program completions to vie with the Objectives. The "no auditor" rundowns seem to get priority at Flag. Interestingly, after 8 months of GAG II and constantly announcing how they have more than 200 people on auditor training line-ups, they still don't seem to register any COMPLETIONS. And yet everyone completes every course in checksheet … [Read more...]
A Selection Of Idiocy From The Bubble
With the hype machine now churning out emails by the minute promoting the wonders of the "MV Events" there are some interesting notes in a random selection of emails that arrived over the last few days. CC kicks things off with Dave Petit pretty much running a standard "party line" though I wonder if he feels especially stupid repeating the lie that this is the 25th Anniversary of the Maiden Voyage that occurred in 1988? So typical of scientology these days -- Dear Leader canceled MV last year as he wasn't ready with GAG II and when he cancels something it is canceled with authority. June … [Read more...]
Selective Quotes
The selection of short, out-of-context LRH quotes is endemic in Radical Scientology promo materials. They need to somehow give the impression that what they are doing is based on LRH Policy. This is a struggle since any kind of fundraising other than selling services and books and meters was severely forbidden. This is a great example. Looking at this you would think that LRH is telling people to spend millions of dollars on new buildings. Read the promo and then read a next few sentences of the same policy. The actual policy states: By showing a good org mock-up, we … [Read more...]
Advertising Failure
Why do they keep advertising their failures? Seriously, this guy didnt handle the restim from a general anaesthetic on Dianetics or NOTs or two previous Purifs? For sure they didn't give his money back for those failures -- or even credit. This is part of the "thought stopping" that goes on inside the bubble. It is such an ironbound law that you never invalidate anyone's wins that they will shout absolute nuttiness from the rooftops and not even notice it's crazy. Somehow they have convinced the sheeple that there is a "technical breakthrough" on the Purif with GAG II and now it's … [Read more...]
Leis, Glowsticks, A Moose And A Gift From COB…
Just couldn't resist this. As the Special Correspondent who sent this to me commented "I think the Flag OTC have jumped the shark" The "execs" seated at the front wearing leis (someone went to Hawaii? or is this just MV=ship=islands=hula girls=leis level of stupidity) and glowsticks (planning a rave?) A "Special guest" to the Flag OT Committee meeting -- the "Ideal Org Moose Mascot." Moose? Because it's big and dumb and has an enormous appetite for anything green? But, most important of all: please show up on Sunday as all attendees will receive a "special gift from C … [Read more...]
More Disconnection Hypocrisy
A Special Correspondent alerted me to this, and I happened to have additional information that made it even more interesting. He originally set forth the proposition: Wanting to stay connected to one’s own parent, spouse or child can earn you an SP declare and expulsion from Scientology, but soliciting sex from a minor and going to prison will not, even if you’re a former Sea Org Member. Great premise, based on the facts our Special Correspondent had. But there is more to this story that makes it even more noteworthy. Everyone knows there is a double standard for disconnection in scie … [Read more...]
It’s All About Aesthetics
A bit of fun to kick off the weekend. You will all be relieved to hear that THIS Maiden Voyage is all about "aesthetics." It also seems they have rolled back time. Though the 25th Anniversary of the MV HotAir was last year, and though the magnificent Dear Leader cancelled that event because he was too busy preparing for GAG II (which then didn't arrive til November), he has simply proclaimed THIS year to be the 25th anniversary so he could use the video put together for last year's aborted MV. And my word everyone, those silver streamers (also salvaged from last year) are just SOOO a … [Read more...]
“It’s Just Being In That Intimate Space With COB”
The hype is rolling out for Maiden Voyage... Our Whole New Universe is the one that only we can perceive I guess. The one where scientology is saving the world and clearing the planet and flourishing and prospering like never before with the real LRH tech available for the first time ever... And now, some reports from on the scene, with a liberal sprinkling of "awesomes," "incredibles," and exclamation points and a very large YUK factor. Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014From: I HELP UK <ihelpuk@ihelp.org>Subject: Maiden Voyage events. More feedback from those who are there.MORE … [Read more...]
Nancy Cartwright Gives Another $500,000 To Valley Ideal Org
How to raise a million dollars for another failed ideal org. Get $382,220 (odd number?) from crazy David Wilson (credit where credit is due; he DOES put his money where his mouth is -- just further proof how crazy he is) and $500,000 from "OUR ROYAL GUV, PRINCESS WARRIOR AND OFFICIAL VALLEY ROCKSTAR GODDESS." Just why is it that Nancy Cartwright is always referred to euphemistically? "The Honorary Mayor Of The Valley" etc etc etc? She is afraid to have her name associated with this nuttiness? Apparently so, in which case, why not just take her money and don't mention her at all? It's a … [Read more...]
