For those of you who don’t know me, my name is David Braverman and I live in East Falls, which is a suburb of Philadelphia, with 2 cats and an amazing Steinway baby grand built in 1914. I have 3 kids, although their mother Andrea and I are divorced. I own a wholesale bakery which delivers fresh European-style bread every day throughout Philadelphia, and frozen bread all over the country. It’s really quite a big business, even though I didn’t plan it that way. Oh, and I’m an SP, and I didn’t plan that either. In fact, I never would have believed it when all this started, which was in N … [Read more...]

Do It For Ron The Birthday Event hype is in full swing. Here is a favorite. "The best gift we can give him is the gift of expansion" so.... Give us £104 for "SMP". Makes total sense. And you will get a "special" "104" commendation to file in the round file of useless pieces of paper -- you only have "ethics protection" based on your NEXT "donation." Dear Mabel, This week we celebrate the 104th Birthday of our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The best gift we can give him is the gift of expansion. And the best answer to that is Scientology Media Productions, the most important project in S … [Read more...]
Flag “Bridge Flow”
This is the "Bridge Flow News" from the OT Committee in Clearwater. They got an "OT VIII" through the Purif and are shouting about it from the rooftops. These people have truly lost touch with reality. I am sure that if David Miscavige tells the "OT Committee" next week that their highest priority as part of the "Golden Age of Tech II" is to have everyone in the "clearwater field" buy a hula hoop and do 2 hours of hula-hooping on the Clearwater Causeway while handing out copies of History of Man in Russian, there will be some sheeple out there and we will shortly thereafter read … [Read more...]
Never Ending Ideal Org Blood Sucking
In celebration of LRH's birthday, here is something to celebrate. The clearest expression of the future for all scientologists. There is no end in sight. Fundraising will continue until there isn't a single person left with a dollar or asset to their name who is still "with the program." It will be a collection of bone dry skeletons, bled dry and discarded like used kleenexes. As each person realizes they have nothing left to give or that this is in fact a game where nobody wins, they will fall away and then distance themselves completely from the insatiable maw that is corporate s … [Read more...]
Flag Stats
One of our Special Correspondents took the time to take the Mintzmeat announcements over the last year and turn the stats into graphs. While these stats do not reflect every week, they are a representative cross section of the stats over time. The numbers across the bottom simply represent the number of weeks worth of stats that have been collected -- they are not sequential. It is 22 weeks over the last year. The weeks shown on the graphs as 0 are in fact "No Reports" and you can conclude from that the stats were not good for that week. Remember also, Mr. Mintzt tended to put out the … [Read more...]
Andy Porter Speaks
I have known Andy Porter for many, many years. He was somewhat of a legend due to his work opening Russia and many of its former satellites to scientology. Andy spent many years defining the term "pioneer." He was an unsung hero who did a lot of the REAL work behind the scenes that ended up being glorified in IAS Freedom Medal winner videos and other event presentations. Andy now hails from the northwestern corner of Washington State where he lives with his wife and 10 year old son. He is an accomplished landscape photographer focused on capturing the beauty and majesty of the North C … [Read more...]

Eating Activities The only thing that seems to be happening on L. Ron Hubbard Way these days is brunch and dinner.... Keep Calm... Our old friend Kristen Toth has been busy on FB: Sure glad she put the copyright symbol after "Flag"... Letters Out Speaking of Toths... Desperate times call for desperate measures. This is sent on the theory that "outflow=inflow." I expect the inflow WILL be equal to the outflow. GOGI From: Sarah Toth <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 27 February 2015, 04:07PM -08:00 Subject: … [Read more...]
What IS “Cause Resurgence”?
Now, remember, out in the real world, we KNOW what this "rundown" consists of. But in the scientology bubble, it is "confidential" and is not mentioned unless you have paid your entrance fee and are ushered into the special floor of the SP building, where you are then told that this "OT Rundown" consists of.... Running in circles. Literally. For a few weeks. There is nothing else. You are told to run around a fixed object. And to keep running. Now read this latest Mintzmeat hype and realize they are charging people $5,000 to do this (not including what they charge … [Read more...]
Flag Is Limp
Jeff Mintz is not as regular as he once was, and for a while I thought he had been given the permanent heave-ho. It's a terrible thing when "good news" turns up on this blog as proof of stagnation. Then, after a month of silence, the FSC San Jose stole his thunder and put out the Mintzmeat(tm) report from herself. She even stole his format, but changed it from blue to red (Mintz had changed "Good News" to "Late Breaking News" probably because of how much fun we had with his "good news" but Ms. Dodwell seems oblivious for now). As always, I have added the latest figures to the end of the … [Read more...]

Desperate This ALL CAPS message was received by someone in HUNGARY. But let's rejoice, following the announcement of the imminent opening after Dear Leader showed a CGI video of the completed org about 8 years ago, it is really good to know that we will all find out on 28 February that the plans are to open it VERY VERY VERY soon (as long as enough people give money). THE NEWS YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! HARLEM IS OPENING VERY VERY VERY SOON!!! ATTEND THE EVENT THAT WILL MARK THE CREATION OF THE IDEAL CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY IN HARLEM NEW YORK ATTEND THE EVENT AT THE HARLEM ORG ON … [Read more...]
