After Tracey McManus' bombshell article dropped on 20 October, scientology immediately began their efforts to revise history. The next day, Freedom magazines started popping up all over the city. I wrote an article addressing some of the falsehoods Scientology BS Grows Deeper Then they began trying to make a dent in the social media world to cast the article as a bigoted assault on scientology and highlight the wonderful contributions they make to Clearwater. Freedom magazine has a twitter account @Freedommag and on October 21 they began sending out tweets. This is the tweet that is pinned … [Read more...]

Free Ice Cream Apparently George is George is a whale who supports this mission. He is like the Good Humor Man... Really not looking good... Bobby Wiggins is sadly not much of an advertisement for "OT VII Super Power Completion" This their plaque? They can't even get the first name right? Such a terrible lie And they put it out every year around this time. Seriously? Now that's an offer you can't refuse... Worst photoshop ever Looks like a cardboard cutout pasted onto the … [Read more...]
Clearwater Jazz Festival
Generally, scientology does not proselytize for new members in downtown Clearwater. They don't try to recruit new members -- "Flag" is for existing scientologists who make the pilgrimage to hand over cash and participate in advanced scientology courses and auditing. In fact, scientology would prefer there were NO "wogs" (non-scientologists) in the downtown area at all. They want it to be 100% scientologists. But there is a local "mission" in Belleair that is for "new people" who may be introduced in some fashion by scientologists in the local area (it is also where those who don't … [Read more...]

Freedom for all California... One more empty building and California will be free at last! Not a chance ANYONE actually buys this. But the rah-rah seems to impress. No we don't Not a one has EVER come back Nothing quite like "Big Blue" It's ugly, dirty and empty. The celebration may be memorable, but not for the right reasons. They're trying to sound fancy... If you have ever been to the "PAC Canteen" you will understand the crazy of them serving "lobster tail" Scientology Thanksgiving Not only are they NOT providing … [Read more...]
Flag “OT” Committee Minutes Sept 2019
I accumulate these and only really include them here so there is a record somewhere of the fakery that embodies the "Top of the Bridge." I've had some of these sitting here for a while, and a few others that were sent to me that I didn't bother to download. Someone sends them to me each week, it's just a lot of reading and highlighting needed. Here is this week's edition, followed by some earlier ones. What is so obvious is their focus on money. Virtually everything they talk about is money, fundraising and commissions. It's also interesting how focused they are on "collecting" the … [Read more...]

Assault your eyes I guess they think it will get a better result if they use the brightest colors, the biggest mixture of typestyles and largest number of words and images... Give his dentist an award Boy, he looks awfully happy for someone who jut handed over cash to another failed project. Hey Dennis, despite the millions you sunk into Sacramento "ideal" org, how's it looking? This is the "glee of insanity." This job IS life... I doubt that is true. Where do you live? Who buys your food? There are SP's everywhere You can't … [Read more...]

200 and counting... And absolutely nothing to show for it! Orgs as humanitarians... They just HAVE to keep fundraising. Wonder when they will ever return to trying to sell and deliver auditing and training? How amazing is this? They are actually doing construction. Like this is some news. I guess compared to Battle Creek, or Albuquerque it's pretty special. An update on drywall installation and not a word about anything Dianetics or Scientology related. This is what they are shooting for... "Upstat" but empty is their … [Read more...]

A new pitch "Pledging" for Ideal Orgs and the IAS "works". People think they are escaping the pressure by agreeing to "pledge" money they don't have -- they dont realize the pressure they will be under to "make good" on their pledge, even being routed to ethics for not "keeping their word." So, why not use it for services too? Stars of the North? Winning the Birthday Game. If this morgue is winning the Birthday Game it is a sad indictment of all the other morgues, from Orlando and Miami to New York and Harlem. Wow -- TC is the best.... Another … [Read more...]
More Stolen Valor
Here we go again. On Memorial Day I wrote a post about this subject -- Stolen Valor: Ron the War Hero And now they are at it once more. If you are planning to attend this event, or know someone who is, please be aware that this is ONLY a "PR opportunity" for "safepointing" scientology and that those who attend will be held up as examples of people who endorse scientology. Know too that that the founder of scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, told many tall tales (lies) about his military career, very well documented in Chris Owens' carefully researched book Ron The War Hero (available on … [Read more...]
Scientology Volunteer Ministers scam exposed once again
Tony Ortega published an article by Rod Keller Saturday about the Volunteer Ministers response to Hurricane Dorian: Hurricane Dorian's destruction provides scientology another chance at make-believe. It includes a photo op of 7 "VM's" pushing around a half full shopping cart at Walmart... This is the "largest private relief force on earth" and they dress up in yellow jackets, grab a few kids and shop for supplies at Walmart. And now, I am sent this: They have the deluded chutzpah to announce "we are activating 1,000 Volunteers for immediate deployment..." Not in a million … [Read more...]
