One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. Carl Sagan This seems to be an appropriate quote to sum up the state of these "OT Ambassadors." While many OT Committees now send out their "minutes" hard copy to try and avoid them falling into the hands of the sm … [Read more...]
Who Good Scientologists Should Vote For
Of course, the church cannot directly endorse any political candidates as this would be a violation of their exempt status (possibly the least egregious one they would be guilty of, but nevertheless very visible and thus difficult to deny). So, they grab some "OT Committee" people and have them do the dirty work for them. These ventriloquist puppets are NOT sending this out without coordinating with the church first. In fact, apparently the efforts to influence the local community are heating up -- OSA recently held a briefing (it's funny how this, like everything else, is tied to the new … [Read more...]

Super Power Isn’t So Sooper
Wow, if this is all they have to show for 15+ years, hundreds of millions invested in this building, and virtually unparalleled hype, its pretty tragic. And what is so amazing to me is how they keep giving actual stats as if they are worth shouting about? 15 Super Power Completions in a week? At the ONLY place on earth that can deliver it? So EVERY scientologist on planet earth that wants the most hyped service ever MUST come to Flag? And they are completing 15 per week and there have now been over 800 completions since release?? Stop to catch your breath for a minute whoever is … [Read more...]
The Flag Cannibals Have Eaten Themselves Out Of Business
More indicators of how poorly thing are going at Flag. The recent post about the "goodwill mission" in DC is now followed by this -- the "Flag World Tour" going to Phoenix... Ignoring the horrendous grammar and typos, this email contains some interesting insight into what is happening at Flag. The FWT is going to outnumber the people that come to their event in Phoenix -- this is how desperate they are. They are not sending just a reg and a single Tech terminal -- no, it's a Super Power Auditor AND a Qual Consultant, along with Kaye Champagne and 3 regges. They will be lucky to … [Read more...]
Flag Stats Are Going Down
Some more "good news" from our old friend Jeff Mintz. Here are some earlier weeks of the same stats sent out by Jeff Mintz all under the same heading "Good News From Flag!": W/E 3 July 14 * 21 Survival Rundown Completions!!* 10 Super Power Completions!!* 21 Cause Resurgence Completions!!* 17 Ls Completions!!* 9 Clears!!* 6 OT VII Completions!!

Beggar’s Banquet At Flag
It's the MV Beggar's Banquet showing at Flag. And apparently everyone is in on the act to try to get the suckers to show and GIVE MONEY (and let us know you did so we can get the credit for it). Kevin True was a former RTC staff at Int who was busted and then sawed off some fingers on a table saw in the Gold garage when he was in the sleep-deprived zombie state of SO "deckies." Surprisingly, he has now made his way to being Solo Tech Services at Flag. More surprisingly, he is regging for the IAS? WTF? Solo Tech Services? It once again demonstrates that the ONLY pervasive activity of … [Read more...]
Another Seminar Designed For Miscavige
This one is another perfect seminar designed for Dear Leader. And it's not just any old seminar, it's good old Arte Maren of Guardian's Office infamy and he is delivering it at the "Community Learning Center"? I really dont think the community needs a center to train people on how to take someone's money under the guise of helping them succeed. I note there is another upcoming special Miscavige seminar too -- the Do's And Don'ts Of Social Media. I wonder is that includes tips about keeping your convicted child sex offender felons off your facebook pages? From: Holly Haggerty & … [Read more...]
They’re Thinking Small At Flag
Here is the latest "shout it from the rooftops" announcement from Jeff Mintz with "good news" from Flag. Still, week after week, "Flag" produces more Objectives completions that Super Power Comps! Though they seems to have increased the Running Program completions to vie with the Objectives. The "no auditor" rundowns seem to get priority at Flag. Interestingly, after 8 months of GAG II and constantly announcing how they have more than 200 people on auditor training line-ups, they still don't seem to register any COMPLETIONS. And yet everyone completes every course in checksheet … [Read more...]
Flag Is Empty
This tells you everything you need to know about the state of the GAG II "boom" at Flag. It's a massive bust. Not only are they desperate to get people onto Solo NOTs, they don't even have public on Super Power or the Running Program. If they did, they would not be able to afford to send out their tech staff to try and convince people to arrive for services -- they would be too busy delivering. I have NEVER seen an entire tech division sent out on tour before.... It must be grim at Flag. All nighters. Scrubbing dumpsters. Rice and beans. And every "handling" based on the "fact" … [Read more...]
