Note: there was no Graduation last nite due to a special Sea Org only event "for SO Day" but I bet Voldemort was just not feeling in the mood after his weekus horribilus. So. instead we have some news from across the country. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and a year after the OC "Ideal Org" finally opened, their Non E campaign is off the ground. And boy, the news is amazing! They got a donation from someone in NEW YORK. They put up billboards around Disneyland (stupidest place ever -- the people at Disney are TOURISTS, NOT their public) and, wait for it, as they saved the really big … [Read more...]
Prices Are Going Up While We Are Going Down!
The Smiths are at it again -- throwing out more confusion and hidden data to try to drum up some business. Not only is Miscavige planning the super extravaganzapalooza of amazingness to blow the minds of the sheeple with Super Power, Cause Resurgence, GAG II, the meter, dictionary and a whole new building in a circus tent with fireworks, dancing elephants and clowns, he also plans to make a shitload more money with price "changes" (increases) as it just wouldn't be fair to let people "rocket up the Bridge faster than ever, ever, ever" without making them pay more for the privilege of getting … [Read more...]
Super Power — It’s Official “Sometime in September”
In typical Keystone Kops fashion, the world is informed of the planned dates for the "Grand Opening" of "The Mecca Building" and release of Super Power and GAG II and the Mark VIII meter and, and, and... in early October. BUT, the Chief Super Power Reg sent an email 3 days ago TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO THE EVENT and she is STILL NOT GIVING A DATE! In fact, she is telling people to come in September and that the Grand Opening and IAS event will be in September and October. And this is an email telling people to get visas and make their travel and accommodations reservations. Are things really … [Read more...]
Big Brother Is Watching
The "friendliest place in the world" is losing its lustre. In fact, it is becoming downright creepy. This is from the latest "OT" Committee Meeting Minutes -- my highlighting in red: "Emmett Osborn, OTC Dir IAS Field Dissemination, come up to brief us about the winners of the recent IAS Game with the prize of a special pin for getting 2 status upgrades, 2 Lifetime Memberships or a donation on $10,000. He presented gifts of special lapel pins, engraved pens and one-of-a-kind shoulder bags to the winners, Kaye Champagne and Tom Cummins. Emmett re-briefed us on the new IAS Game t … [Read more...]
Begging for an “Ideal” PAC
The latest insanity comes courtesy of the Uniform IC PAC -- Val Page (daughter of Homer Schomer who was at ASI, queried certain financial practices, was abused, kicked out and declared and his daughter has not spoken to him in 30 years!). But that is not the point here. In case any further proof was needed, the vulture culture has permeated every corner of the RCS. All the way down to the "Uniform IC" -- a post that has NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER with the public -- sending out begging emails to get money for a "PAC Events Center" to "usher public up the Bridge:" Dear … [Read more...]
Voldemort’s Tent Update 16 August
This morning I received 3 separate reports on “Graduation” from last night. The stats are going up! I have combined them into one summarized report here. Thanks to those who continue to keep the world updated on the latest news from inside the bubble. As usual my comments are in italics enclosed in square brackets. Also as usual, He talks about MEST logistics almost exclusively. It’s almost bizarre to contemplate the leader of the "most important and fastest growing religious movement on earth" gives a weekly running commentary on the adventures of a tent making its way from England to the US … [Read more...]
Beggar’s Banquet Update
Radical Corporate Scientology has become a collection of individuals begging for money under various guises and for an almost unlimited number of reasons. It is hard to imagine what it must be like to be one considered fair game by the circling vultures. I am sent the pleas and demands on a via and invariably the person who send it to me reports the insane volume of calls, texts, emails and snail mail that they receive. Fortunately, I get nothing from the RCS directly. As time goes by the "reasons" to give become more and more "creative." It's like a convention of snake oil salesman g … [Read more...]
Donate to the IAS for Sea Org Day. Huh????
The constant "give us your money" drumbeat is only growing louder. But it is becoming ever more brazen and the "reasons" are getting more and more absurd. This new email contains so many outpoints it is difficult to comprehend that anyone in their right mind would have sent it. But here it is: From: Ashley <ashod@scientology.net>Date: Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 4:05 AMSubject: 46 years ago on August 12thTo: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com Dear Scientologist, 46 years ago on August 12th, LRH formed the Sea Organization. This year a large focus is on target attainment for the … [Read more...]
Volunteer Minister Crusade Claims — Fact Check
Another in our series of Fact Checking claims made by the Church of Scientology on their internet sites. Our hardworking Special Correspondent has taken the time once again to attempt to verify the generalities put forth. This is no easy task.... I recently received the latest IAS mag unironically titled "Indiscriminate Help Anytime Anywhere" and so I added a little section of my own to the end of Natasha's good work. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – Part 5 Something Can Be Done About It by Natasha Boris Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, terrorist attacks, b … [Read more...]
