Old Wil Seabrook is at it again. These STAND flunkies are entirely predictable. Anything that is a touchy subject for scientology (in this case, their merciless money-grubbing) is taken up and presented as if it's a GOOD thing. Let's just dissect a few of Wil's statements. One thing that people ask me is why Scientologists make donations for their services. I think there’s an idea that help, especially of a religious nature, should be free. But once you start to examine that concept, it’s easy to see that nothing in life is ever actually free and that resources are required to do … [Read more...]
What Is Needed?
What is needed? You don't need to tune in to get an answer to this question. It is IAS Anniversary event month and there is no IAS event. They are scrambling... Money, money, money is what is needed. It’s the only thing that is ever needed. “We need to keep our 4th dynamic campaigns going that are helping billions of people every week... blah blah blah” Hubbard laid it out: MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MONEY. Scientology is exclusively about money. If an activity does not generate income it dies a very fast death in the scientology … [Read more...]
The Virtual IAS Event
This year's IAS event is going to be "virtual." It's a fundraising catastrophe for scientology as this is their biggest single event for raking in cash. Undaunted, they put out a "press release" on a paid news service. Of course it gets no pickup in the media at all, as it contains no news. But you can find it online. Below is the full release, 100% hype and bs. The back-patting "quotes" are from themselves. And their big accomplishment is apparently that some agency in Spain includes the IAS event as a scientology holiday in their "educational calendar." Wow, that is an astonishing … [Read more...]
Bonnie’s Sad Tale
This is a very sad story. Yet another bright young woman indoctrinated into becoming a willing scientology slave. She is so proud of the fact that she was the youngest fundraiser for the "ideal org" (something that changed absolutely nothing in Sydney or anywhere else). And she was a fundraiser for the IAS, upset that she "only regged $5,000 today." This is perfectly normal in the scientology world. And she proclaims she has been on staff for 11 years and has completed NED (but is not Clear), the Student Hat and Metering Course. This is the big "benefit" of 11 years of "volunteering" as … [Read more...]
IAS Money Grab Going Strong
They say there are two things that are inevitable: death and taxes. I would add a third: IAS demanding money. This is a collection of just a few of the items that have come in during the lockdown. The "Jewish community"? Really? You can bet the "Real, stable data over the environment" didn't come from the Torah... What is really going on? We are trying to get your money. And that's what we are going to do about it. Nothing more, nothing less. The largest virtual "IAS Event" in US history. Wow, that is impressive. We, as a … [Read more...]
CCHR “Taking Down Psychiatry”
This is the sort of thing that is announced with enormous fanfare by the IAS with "this is what your donations buy". When something like this is found, CCHR jumps on it and claims it as a "psych prosecution" and not only that, it is "President of the Alaska Psychiatric Association." It will be added to other incidents they can scrounge up from anywhere they can find them and become part of a typical announcement in the category of "CCHR Wins" -- “this year more psychs were prosecuted than ever, a total of 1,047, thanks to the leadership of CCHR" and then at the end "You contributions to the … [Read more...]
Valley Voom Voom
Oh woohoo, they're fundraising in the Valley again! This is what the person who sent this to me commented -- it sums things up perfectly: Oh, joy, these two again. Hi everybody, we really could give two fucks that you're unemployed, on the edge of bankruptcy, 62 with no savings, have a family member struggling with cancer, risk your health by working when you aren't sanctioned to do so, haven't made a house payment in the last month, etc. Planetary bullbait, you're a PTS POS if you don't help the IAS with it's many helpful (BS alert) projects. Which we never disclose in any way to the … [Read more...]
Scientology in Venezuela
Things are in a bad way in the 2 orgs in Venezuela (one in Valencia and one in Caracas). This is a plea from the ED of the Valencia ("Venezuela") org for assistance. It is full of typical scientology hype about how they are saving the world etc etc. and some wonderfully outdated quotes from Source to make things seem better and pretend they are winning. But harsh reality has set in. Venezuela is in economic meltdown. Hyper inflation. Lack of food. Gas shortages (remarkable in a country that exports massive amounts of oil)... She says they no longer have the resources to support … [Read more...]
Disaster Capitalism Double Whammy
While the IAS is soliciting money for "VM campaigns" and "COVID-19 relief", the VM's are sending out their own pitch to collect hygiene items. Makes you wonder what the IAS money is for? This flier is pretty bizarre. They have taken an old flier from a hurricane relief drive and repurposed it for their "Pandemic" relief by including toilet paper in the list of donations requested. Note it is still copyrighted 2019. I wonder what "travel size" toilet paper is? … [Read more...]
There’s “Good News” in LA and Another 10,000?
Well, it's always good to know that there IS good news. You can just imagine it: "Thanks to your support of the IAS [$10 million collected in the last month] we have provided disinfectant to 3 teams [and one video crew to film them before they were asked to leave] who have been bringing order in the chaos in Burkina Faso [not a peep from Pasadena or N. Hollywood]" This is how we "can be at cause over our 4th Dynamic"... They are so delusional. And more good news, apparently LA Org has decided they can get 10,000 onto extension courses. Flag has been trying to get 10,000 onto or … [Read more...]
