So, the IAS constantly claims that donations made to it "support our 4th dynamic initiatives" -- very much including the Foundation for a Drug Free World. The IAS takes credit for the "accomplishments" of the DFW if there is ever anything to be crowed about. Recently the IAS proudly announced the "distribution" of half a million booklets at the Super Bowl. They routinely claim they are literally saving the world and eradicating the scourges of drugs, crime, immorality and illiteracy. This is asking for $50,000. Assuming the IAS has accumulated $1.5 billion by now (it was more than a … [Read more...]
IAS Games — Happy Birthday Ron
I have often noted that L. Ron Hubbard knew nothing about the formation of the IAS. He did not as it was a scheme to avoid bringing money into the US and therefore outside the purview of the IRS. The IAS morphed into something completely different over the first few years of its existence, especially after the Commodore shuffled off his mortal coil to continue his OT research in parts unknown. While it is in direct contradiction to much of his policy, I suspect he would have enjoyed how much money it raked in and gotten behind it. But he didn't and we will never know for sure. But how … [Read more...]

Top international business consultant? He obviously runs one of the MISFORTUNE 500 companies. A BIG name... Not new people...

Not Santa Barbara Ideal Org
The new "ideal org" that is no longer in Santa Barbara (they'll just have to without an org now) has the welcoming appeal of the Death Star or Tower of Mordor. A couple of our faithful readers recently drove by to check it out. Right alongside the freeway in Ventura, it is hardly an "ideal" location (the current org is right in downtown Santa Barbara). This is the only property that adjoins the "ideal org" -- bustling with people 24/7 it is a warm and inviting look. But, to make up for this terrible location, they are going to … [Read more...]
IAS Money Grubbers
This is a new list of IAS "Field Disseminators" -- which translates into non-Sea Org fundraisers or "registrars" as they are called in scientology. There are some interesting names on here. From the scientologists who own companies that employ other scientologists (like Bridgeforth and Cummins) to the IAS "Freedom Medal Winners" who are then sent out to tour the world to reg for the IAS. Those are circled in red -- and I may have missed a few as the names are no longer all familiar to me. These are the people that are making the highest amount of commission from the IAS. They are … [Read more...]

Distinguished Speakers... Who cannot be named. You can bet this turnout is going to be YUGE. It's Monumental And it's from 10 years ago!

Your Ideal Scene Well, I can imagine a few them would be thinking "how about … [Read more...]
IAS Lies Exposed, Again
Here is the hype from the IAS: So, you see, the IAS takes credit for this program "reaching over 200 million people per year." They make a big show of "sponsoring the distribution of 500,000 booklets at the Super Bowl". But this is a lie. The number of people distributing the booklets, according to their photo, was about 25 (that is all they could muster in a city with an "ideal" org??) - including children. That is 20,000 booklets per person. Even someone with Super Powers or who was complete cause over life from running around a pole couldn't manage that. This is also how they come … [Read more...]

Scientology Financial Crimes, New Zealand Edition
Can you imagine the level of unethical loan activities that must be going on in this "ideal" org to elicit a Facebook posting like this? And can you imagine the trouble Jessica F S Brown has landed herself in by daring to quote L. Ron Hubbard to prove someone(s) in the "ideal org" in Auckland are acting improperly? And there are people responding on FB -- they had better be prepared to hand over some more cash in order to keep the Ethics Officer at bay... Well Well, it didnt take long. Since I wrote this post (but before it was published) this FB message … [Read more...]

Perth IS going St Hill Size And we know that because... they said so! Should be enough for anyone to buy in. Still using photos from the ribbon yanking as there is nothing else happening there at all. As always, it's fundraising, fundraising and more fundraising... Gangsters seems like a very appropriate theme. Still baking cookies Why? Nobody is quite sure. But it seems like a good idea. They send their best OUT of the HGC? Nah, he is renowned for falling asleep in session. So he cannot take paying … [Read more...]
