A little light hearted entertainment in the deadly serious business of making money in scientology. You may recall some of the earlier entrants in the Scientology Crazy Stakes -- we have seen some wonderful pieces from David Wilson (who specialized in historical fact vs. fiction parallels) and Mike Smith (who specialized in getting his dates and facts so screwed up nobody had a clue what he was talking about). These two have gone strangely silent, opening the door for some new contenders to step into cage. Today we have a challenger we have not heard from before and something from one of our … [Read more...]
The Truman Show – Playing At An Ideal Org Near You
Here is the news you have all been waiting for.... The final two weeks of results in the WUS "Ideal Org" Truman Show money grab game. First, the results from the penultimate week: There are some of these orgs that are just not with the program. Remember, this is cumulative for the YEAR. Hawaii has collected 0. Albuquerque $100. St Louis $5000. This might get them a shoebox in the middle of the road (in the immortal words of Monty Python in "Four Yorkshiremen"). So, how did they do to wrap up the year, in the sprint to become the "First Ideal Continent"? (Never mind the ONLY new … [Read more...]
I HELP UK Has Flatlined
Oh wow. The naked truth is really tumbling out of the bubble. Here are the I HELP UK stats. According to them, they are the fourth best continental area -- and they include all the field activities in India and Pakistan. This means there are four continental areas of scientology that are less expanding than they are (not sure how that is possible, but they figured it out I guess) This is worse than I could possibly have imagined. The true state of "straight up and vertical" unprecedented international expansion. Remember, the "Ideal Orgs" are supposed to generate "massive field activity" … [Read more...]
Running Scared
Here is the latest (hushmail) message to the Flag OT Committee from Jessica Selva "Flag Service Organization" (don't know what her post is). HOW TO HANDLE BLACK PROPAGANDA 23 March 2014 On Sunday, we will be hosting this important seminar. It will be held in the Fort Harrison Ballroom on the 10th Floor. A thorough drilling will take place at 1:30 to 3:30 PM, led by persons from the Office of Special Affairs There is only one message this sends. We are being bombarded with "entheta" and are trying desperately to "handle." No doubt the first step of this "seminar" by u … [Read more...]
Sydney Ideal Org — No News Is No News
I wonder what Melbourne "Ideal Org" has to say about this? Why is Sydney the "catalyst"? And I guess nobody even mentions Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane or Canberra.... They will NEVER be "ideal" until Miscavige decides to open his checkbook and put his money where his mouth is and buy them buildings because this IS the strategy for planetary clearing. You know, the one that is based on the "why" that orgs are trying to do too little and that just like a session, an org cannot succeed unless it has all the requisite parts in place FIRST. Ten years on and 80% of all the orgs STILL cannot succeed … [Read more...]
The Bubble Is Still Leaking
These are all sent by hushmail, I promise. The first one, from Flag, contains this classic quote: This is still "LRH Birthday Week" through Thursday March 20, so we are still raising funds for the IAS and for Ideal Orgs. Of course, the thing to celebrate LRH's birthday is to give money for the IAS and Ideal Orgs, neither of which LRH ever heard of or contemplated or wrote about anywhere (of course there IS a policy about Ideal Orgs that we have seen plenty of times and the name has been stolen from it, not the concept). Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014From: Flag OT Committee &l … [Read more...]
The Black Bag Department first published March 17, 2014
Marty has been doing a good job of exposing the unalterable policies of the church concerning dealing with perceived enemies. One aspect not much discussed is who are the "outside professionals" hired to do the dirty work. And while there is a lot that is done by Sea Org OSA staff, Class V (local DSAs like Mark Warburg and John Carmichael) and public Scientologists (John Allender, Ed Bryan and Co) there is work that requires specific skills, including licenses to carry and/or needs more distance from "the church" to afford a measure of plausible deniability. There are quite a number … [Read more...]
Mary McCarran Kahn
I was declared the week of Thanksgiving, which was the church’s gift to my family on such a memorable holiday. Since then until February, when he finally disconnected, my heartbroken son had been trying to wrap his mind around his mom being an SP and how to “handle” me. I am devastated but will not stop fighting to get him back, and fighting to stop this horribly abusive tactic of disconnection that the church of scientology uses to control its members. My son is in the honeymoon phase, and I feel responsible for setting him up to be the Scientologist he is today, for being the kind of Scie … [Read more...]
Flag OTC Minutes
I assure you, these WERE sent via hushmail. In the spirit of giving on this big birthday weekend celebration, another gift to brighten Mr. Miscavige's day. More leaks from his bubble. There is some pretty remarkable stuff here. Remember this is the FLAG OT Committee. Flag, according to the PR is "bursting at the seams" getting momentous numbers of people through Super Power, the Running Program, Grades, L's and ten thousand on Solo NOTs etc etc etc. Sorry, but that just does not add up with a "successful" event last Saturday with "about 10 people" in attendance. I wonder what they … [Read more...]
Scientology Shitstorm
The Tampa Bay Times has just put on their website the latest story on human rights and disconnection written by Joe Childs. This is a must read for anyone interested in the subject of Scientology that puts the lie to the church PR that there is no such thing as enforced disconnection. It will appear as the feature story in the Sunday print edition, but went online just as the sheeple were filing into Ruth Eckerd Hall. You should also read the 25 page order from Judge Waldrip in the Monique Rathbun handed down today and now on Tony Ortega's site. Judge Waldrip hoisted the church on its own … [Read more...]
