Imelda Marcos obsessively bought shoes, Miscavige obsessively buys buildings. Despite having a film and audio studio at Golden Era that contains hundreds of millions of dollars of buildings and equipment, David Miscavige felt compelled to buy the KCET studios in Hollywood. Gold operates at a tiny percentage of its capacity. But Miscavige has long wanted to "close it down" and has threatened to do literally dozens of times. He is of course "right" about this as he pulls out LRH despatches where he did the same thing, calling Gold the most unproductive org in the history of … [Read more...]
David Does Sydney
Bryan Seymour's Channel 7 News Story, with footage of David Miscavige rehearsing Tony already has this on his site, but I wanted to include some other observations. Bryan told me they also blocked another national TV show (I assume it was Steve Cannane) and a national newspaper and rolled out some new "balloon tech" with people holding bunches of balloons in front of the media. These people have completely lost grip with reality, these are horrendous footnukes. Imagine spending $15 million to open a building to "flood people up the bridge" (that necessarily must … [Read more...]
Kansas City Shooting To Be Just Like Portland
To give you some idea how badly these people buy their own bs, here is a promo piece exhorting everyone to give money so Kansas City can achieve the roaring success just like Portland. See here for pix of what they are shooting for.... Then read below what they THINK they are shooting for. But before that, you can read about how GAG II is now making "planetary clearing" a reality and that for the first time things are really standard. I spose they really don't know what it is they are saying -- it is fed to them like soylent green and they just lap it up and obediently announce how … [Read more...]
Cult Leaders Surrounded By Note Takers
Third in the birthday celebration series.... A recent article on the BBC Website raised an interesting question, and one of our eagle-eyed Special Correspondents sent it to me with the following comment, It seemed very appropriate on this day of saluting the accomplishments of David Miscavige. Mike, I saw this article on the BC news website today and it reminded me of someone:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-27116092Wasn’t ‘Dear Leader’ followed everywhere and his every utterance recorded?I know the comparison has been made before, but the more I look at the situation in the D … [Read more...]
In Celebration Of A Sociopath
In celebration of the birth of a true sociopath, and as a gift not for him but for those who may be unfortunate enough to be in his world, I am reprinting an excerpt from an article that appeared in Signs of The Times. What is most interesting about this article to me is not the description of the characteristics of a sociopath, for these are brilliantly covered in Martha Stoutt's excellent book The Sociopath Next Door (the best $8 you will ever spend), but the discussion of apaths and empaths -- the people who come in contact with sociopaths. Many have pondered the question "Why don't Ray M … [Read more...]
The Events That Started It All
This is the first in a series posts today and tomorrow to celebrate the most important birthday in Scientology. The birthday staff have been paying donating for over months. There is nothing like a birthday to put everyone in the mood to look over the person's life and accomplishments and take stock of what it means to have been touched by their presence on this earth. I know it's a bit early, but there is a lot of ground to cover, so we start off with a pre-birthday look at just one aspect of the accomplishments of David Miscavige. Ask a Scientologist to tell you "what are the events … [Read more...]
Not A Soul On The BC At ASHO Day
It seems Miscavige has turned his CGI into reality. He is forever showing empty buildings in his "fly-throughs" of ideal orgs. He is also continuously sending everyone BACK down the Bridge to "start over" or "redo" things. And of course pay for the pleasure even though he announces at these events that "some SP's" had screwed it all up -- but those "SP's" were the people entrusted with the JOB at the time. And while there have been many reports of empty courserooms (see posts here about the tour of Portland and the earlier one on Pretoria) this one takes the cake. According to a … [Read more...]
The Golden Age Of Dissemination
This article was sent in by Special Correspondent Andy Porter. Andy is one of the most accomplished Div 6 people in the history of Scientology. He is also a world-class photographer -- one of his shots is above. You can see some of his portfolio here -- truly spectacular. But more relevant to the blog is the interesting perspective he offers on the state of scientology. The Golden Age of Dissemination The Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige, has created one of the most workable Dissemination Processes in the history of Scie … [Read more...]
“Iconic” Events
They are not going to have any real news for the Maiden Voyage -- just a lone ribbon yanking from Sydney. So, the call has gone out for EVERY ORG to do an "iconic" or ironic"? event.... Even the ALREADY "ideal orgs"-- because these are virtually all the "big" orgs so there would not be much left to show if they are not included, but I wonder what sort of "iconic" event they are going to do in Pretoria or Portland or Nashville where they have tapped out everyone and are left with completely empty "ideal" orgs? Maybe they should hold an event that is "iconic" to the RCS. They can all dress … [Read more...]
Google Analytics Prove Scientology Lies
I was forwarded this information by a Special Correspondent who pulled it up on Google Analytics. I thought the information was interesting, though it troubles me there are no numbers on the side of the graphs, so they look kind of like Miscavigerally graphs -- though the difference here is that these represent REAL numbers, and they do show TRENDS. What is remarkable about these graphs is the that they measure interest in topics. I do not profess to know HOW they work this out, presumably based on searches. You can see, in spite of the "massive international expansion" and the … [Read more...]
