Another Ideal Org Fail

May 10, 2023 By Mike Rinder 7 Comments

Another failed "ideal org" — this is one of the older ones. Bought in 2007, it is part of the “old guard” of ideal org buildings bought in a flurry of activity in the first years after Miscavige announced his boondoggle program. Battle Creek, New Haven, Philadelphia, Plymouth, Bulawayo, Harare and Capetown were all purchased and decades later sit unoccupied and falling to pieces. As I have pointed out many times before, if this “ideal org program” was really what Miscavige believed was the answer to expanding orgs and clearing the planet, he would just spend 50 million or whatever it would … [Read more...]

How Long Will They Try To Milk This?

June 23, 2021 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

They are still being "inspired" by their PR response to the pandemic? "Events are held daily".... meaning they put this on a video screen somewhere and if there is anyone who happens to be sitting around in the vicinity they count it as an "event." Everything scientology did to respond to COVID 19 was simply for photo and video ops -- and months after the fact they continue to try to beat the last whimpers out of this dead horse. It's only because they have nothing else to present as there is nothing happening in the world of scientology. The pandemic has proven there are only two things … [Read more...]

No International Events. No Fundraising!

December 12, 2020 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

  This is now a bit old, but still telling. No international events: the only way Miscavige has to keep the sheeple convinced the scientology world is expanding faster than ever and that everyone wants Hubbard tech. Without the briefings, all they have is the evidence of what is happening in their own city, and that is invariably NOTHING. Those events are the propaganda machine that keeps scientology afloat. Without them, they must be hurting bad... You may recall they recently tried to substitute a video SuMP put together and call everyone in to watch it. They touted it as an … [Read more...]

Someone Came In!

December 6, 2020 By Mike Rinder 26 Comments

  This is a recent announcement from the "ideal" org in Perth. You may recall, there was a lot of hype about this ideal org (as there is for all of them) "Clearing their zone" and that zone INCLUDED INDONESIA! As there is no org in Indonesia, or anywhere in SE Asia, Perth announced they were going to take on that responsibility. Indonesia is about 1800 miles from Perth. And it has a population of almost 270 million (more than 10 times Australia at 25 million and 1000 times Western Australia at 2.5 million). And yet, more than 2 years after Dear Leader private-jetted all the way … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

March 5, 2020 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

  They were the heros of the Big Balloon Bust of Ventura Why aren't they doing something about Ventura instead of giving money to the non-existent org in Albuquerque?   Just who is this guy? And why would anyone want to give him money?   Another week gone... Still the same number of man hours needed as last week?     Any excuse to try to attract some wogs... Hopefully. Maybe they think there is no Spanish-speaking Google so they can get some suckers?   Oh, what a thrill... Would not want to miss out on a live-streaming … [Read more...]

That Largest Private Relief Force on Earth is Looking Mighty Small

October 23, 2018 By Mike Rinder 91 Comments

The latest natural disaster in the US, Hurricane Michael, caused massive destruction in the Panhandle of Florida. In some ways this is a “perfect storm.” For here we have an ALL IDEAL Florida confronting a major catastrophe. There is also another ideal org nearby in Atlanta. And then there is Clearwater, the largest concentration of scientologists on earth. (And just for good measure, let's throw in the "ideal" Ocala Mission which is the closest of all to the disaster zone). Wow, it's literally an "ideal" scene. That largest private relief force on earth should find this an easy one to … [Read more...]
