The IAS is truly the biggest scam in scientology. And that is saying something. Just look what they say here: "At new orders of magnitude, we are tackling ANY planetary ruin ANYWHERE, from the edge of the world to your neighborhood." This is such astonishing bullshit it even surprises me. They also claim that the they are the ONLY solution to war, criminality and immorality. And "WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD"... And they are serious! And how odd is it that the person doing this pitch is Ruddy Rodriguez, IAS Freedom Medal Winner from VENEZUELA! Hey Ruddy, how … [Read more...]

That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days? Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]

Bring on the Regges... Taking a break from saving the world to make some money. In the Sea Org for 48 years... Demoted from Flag and the Freewinds to CLO EUS and now he is going to tell you how to be OT? Hmmmm BTW - he is a nice guy. He was Chief Steward on the Apollo. One of the most thankless jobs of all time. Your questions? How about this one. Are you addressing the human trafficking occurring at Flag? The only thing they are less qualified at than human trafficking... Is teaching anyone how to be a good … [Read more...]

The new look Crossed arms are so 2019. Holding an empty 3 ring binder is the new thing. Sure says "determined" to me? Here today, gone tomorrow Just look at ANY of the ideal orgs that have opened and see how many of the people they touted beforehand are there today. Most of these people will never actually start, they just agree to sign up to be left alone for a while. Big Ben! That's a lot of "secular" stuff for an organization that claims to bring more people onto the Bridge than anyone else on earth... The Year of Bahamas … [Read more...]
The L. Ron Hubbard Hall Money Making Machine
Scientology is still hard at it, raising money for the completely superfluous auditorium they say they are going to construct next to the Super Power building. And they are sending out new promotional pieces about it at an increasing rate. This is a very recent fundraising letter and there is also a whole magazine devoted to the subject: This is the cover of the mag... It is a strain for them to come up with reasons why anyone should be giving money to such a boondoggle. That this is going to be an event hall "large enough to hold every international … [Read more...]
Your Goals and Purposes in Scientology
One of our faithful readers sent me this promo piece with a bit of background that illustrates the inherent dishonesty that is part and parcel of being involved in trying to sell scientology... Hi Mike, Every New Year's our org would promote that they were having a New Year's Admin scale workshop. I dodged it for years and one year I found myself really in need of a new look at my business to just inspire me to start the new year. So I called the person planning and I said if I go to this thing I want to do a admin scale for my business not for the ideal org or whatever. She said oh … [Read more...]

I have kept a few of the "Christmas" promo pieces, but the number of them is ridiculous so I just ignored most. The amount of promotion about scientology pretending to somehow be part of the Christian Christmas "scene" is crazy. As always, they are trying to create "religious image" and look like "real churches." A new civilization... And nobody in Sydney is even aware they exist. Most of them have no scientology at all... The vast majority of countries in Asia have no scientology presence. The graybeards... This is the … [Read more...]

New Years is on Saturday! The wog world is behind the times. Only scientology is fully at cause over matter, energy, space and TIME... This will "literally be the most EPIC!" How could anyone possibly miss it? I bet Tom Cruise won't be there... Or Elisabeth Moss. Or Laura Prepon. There are going to be a whole lot of people who manage to resist the most epic event ever... And look at this -- they will hold your children in pens for the duration of the event! That's cause over Matter. They are even trying to get people to come for the event by offering a free dinner. Bet … [Read more...]
Handling Crime in Brussels
Of course, they cite nothing to support their bold claims -- but then again any scientologist would NEVER even think to question the IAS. After all, this is the international association of the most ethical group on earth. There is nothing to substantiate the figures of distribution at all, they pluck these numbers out of the sky usually. Someone paid for a printing of the booklets. They may or may not have actually printed that many. No doubt, however many they printed, they did NOT get distributed. Often they end up being dumped. And the "network of 1400 … [Read more...]

It's an ExtravaganzaΒ And it's being done by Quentin Strub no less. He was the CO WISE EUS back in the 1980's and has risen no further. What an extravaganza of leadership and success he is. Freetown perhaps? Seems they have trouble with spelling and grammar everywhere... Free Admission But if you show your military ID you get free tickets for each child? A "professional" Life Improvement Counselor You have to wonder how you make a profession out of delivering free seminars? A major purpose of getting children … [Read more...]
