  Mini Mike visits Flag Just dropped in to try to say hi to Mr. Mickiewicz.     Rogue's Gallery Only missing Grant Cardone to complete this pantheon of hucksters.   This is the "Advanced Org"? Why are they promoting free introductory VM services?   Meet the staff? Just an excuse to put the best looking woman on their promotion. Surely the ED or Technical Secretary or even a reg would be more appropriate than the receptionist?   This is very weird.... Two scientology celebrities talking about "total freedom" starting with … [Read more...]

    What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program.   Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on?   A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts...   Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend...   The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this?   Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [Read more...]

  A Field Auditor? Wow, pickins are slim when they have to announce they have a field auditor...   On the Plaque! Unless something happens in the next decade before their ribbon yanking and he is no longer "in good standing"   Why is she not training at Flag? Because they know she will NEVER graduate   How pathetic Begging for people to download their app. And not only that, begging for 100 people OMG.   Technology so advanced it can only be delivered at Flag... Like running around in circles.   The Swept-Away beard … [Read more...]

    Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything.   The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country?   What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money.   The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there...   Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why?   Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]

  These are the "top" scientology orgs... Wow, if Joburg is way up there, and Silicon Valley, OMG things are even worse than I had thought. They are both completely and utterly empty...   We are gearing up... A guy on his Method 1 is their Technical Team? They are going to be gearing up for a LOOONG time.   There are 77 neighborhoods in Chicago So, that means you should join staff. Wonder if they know Baskin Robbins has 43 flavors? That should be good for some signups too. And did you realize Chicago has TWO MLB teams? Everyone should sign up on that … [Read more...]

  The effects from our recent event? An AO creaming their jeans about being able to deliver the Purif and Objectives? Now THAT'S expansion!   The Advanced Org nobody needed... They're so focused on getting anyone in for anything because there are no public moving up the Bridge they might as well call themselves the "Continental Org" and close every other org down and they still wouldn't come close to using all their space.   What about locals NOT on service? They would NEVER turn anyone away if they could pay.... And they have an IAS card and clearance … [Read more...]

  How very appropriate Enter the world of Alice in Wonderland. Yes, it's OPEN!   Not funny, sad I have not had the opportunity to read the decision. The activities of scientology are NOT beneficial to the public at large. They are only photo ops.   AOSH Africa Busting open the bottom of the Bridge I wonder if Joburg or Joburg North or Pretoria (all 3 of them "ideal" orgs) have ANY customers?   They don't have certs any more? Just cheesy signs they hold up...   In true Chicago style... Half a dozen, tired old people sitting … [Read more...]

  The Time is Now! Of course, it ALWAYS is. Until tomorrow, when there is something better....     How can it be more? Last week was "everything you ever wanted"?   It's really easy... Except for people who have access to the internet.   Wonder if this is legal? In most states gambling is restricted     Why is this Russian? Barcelona only delivers to Russians?   It's the next big thing Re-do your Purif and SRD. Why? Because you can...   Big Think? Ya think? None of these pix … [Read more...]

  A lot of promo this week has been devoted to the massively, spectacular, epic wider bridge OMG! But there are some other bits and pieces worthy of comment...   Postcard Mania? This is the venue, not one of the numerous completely empty Potemkin village buildings on N. Ft Harrison?   What is she holding up? Why are they blanking out a routing form?   Deep questions and an epiphany Scientologists love good conspiracy theories. Global Elites in secret perverted activity! Things TOO disturbing to share. But scientology has the answer. The ONLY … [Read more...]

    As I put the podcast announcement on the blog on Thursday, The Funnies took a back seat. Here they are, in all their glory...   6th Anniversary of futility They've brought in 2 NSO professional FSMs to host their Sea Org Org anniversary. Home utterly pathetic.     Applied Scholastics Open House Hosted at LA Org. Though this is a completely "secular" activity. Wink wink.   Good luck with that This program has already had trainees on it for a year and they haven't even sent their people to START!   Class … [Read more...]
