Remember when they used to issue these commendations BEFORE the "Ideal Org" opened and publish their "OTC Minutes" listing the attendees? They don't do that any more because they were embarrassed about them repeatedly being leaked and appearing on this blog. Ah, for the good old days... And remember the 10X expansion that is guaranteed when an org has its ribbon yanked by the only True Leader, David Miscavige? Well, Valley has just announced their progress towards achieving 10X. They now have 30 active OTC members. But wait a second. It … [Read more...]

Miscavige Ribbon Yanking Shrinkage
With no fanfare or pre-announcement (scared of being arrested perhaps?), David Miscavige, the True Leader of scientology snuck into Stuttgart and yanked his ribbon. A month ago. He made a quick in and out dash into the danger zone of the Federal Republic of Germany. What is most remarkable is that they managed to get anyone at all to speak on a podium at a scientology event in Germany -- but the "dignitaries" were less than stellar, though they did present a problem in that three of them were quite tall. Even with a forced perspective shot of his standing in front of them, size was … [Read more...]

The most important announcement in history... ...until the next event. And the announcement? "We need more money." We will pay you $12 an hour... or give you a "very upstat and meaningful commendation" A message from Carol Nolan I was the Deputy Command Officer Internal of OSA International for many years. Now I am doing fundraising in Africa. My career path seems to be on the decline... where did I go wrong? Is there any hope? Or is my next stop gig booker for the Jive Aces? He's back! Well, that is a relief. It was only … [Read more...]
“Astonishing Accomplishments” at “Magnificent” IAS Weekend
Scientology is patting itself on the back following the 34th annual IAS event. A few morsels of mulleted magnificence to set the scene -- and this was just the preamble to get to the actual avent: East Grinstead appears as if from a storybook, a medieval marketplace... ...blissfully tranquil ...wave upon wave of attendees, their anticipation abounding. ...the crunch of stone and gravel below boots and high heels echoed down the drive, dusk turned to night and an evening of wonder was now poised to begin. It was the typical stream of adjectival excess that sprang forth in the strange … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Staff Pay
Remember the infamous "You Can Have It All" campaign to join ideal org staff in Melbourne? And the "Every Ideal Org = 10X expansion" hype that has been going on for years? Here is the real truth about "having it all" on staff of an ideal org. This staff member at Pasadena cannot afford the rent for a ROOM. Remember, Pasadena is one of the early "ideal orgs" -- True Leader yanked his ribbon there in July 2010. It is an org that had big whales supporting it, Craig and Sally Jensen (what happened to them??), located right in downtown Pasadena (not in some industrial park) and enjoys one … [Read more...]
Getting the Stats Up – 1 kid at a time
No doubt these children were counted on the Auckland "ideal" org stats as a "paid intro service completions". How sad... Next week, the "Art course". No doubt they will read a few words of wisdom on the subject of art from Hubbard (a world famous artist?), be handed some crayons and paper and voila, instant stats. The week after that, perhaps the "play on the swings" course with a $5 donation to keep the stats going up. They will give them some "tech" about playing games and that too will qualify for a course completion. Anyone who has been around orgs can see this sort of thing a … [Read more...]
Not Making Planetary Clearing A Reality
OK - let’s take a moment and take the planetary Clearing challenge once again. LRH proclaims it's possible, so it must be true right? Don't these amazing "no numbers" graphs prove it? They show them at every event and the sheeple seem to lap them up. Let's ask the experts: How DO you get 327 million Americans to cross the Bridge? How DO you Clear the planet? (not just "make Planetary Clearing a reality") Well, according to scientology postulated math, all you need do is make every org ideal. So, let’s look at the BEST ideal org. The “model” that was touted repeatedly by True … [Read more...]

Good question? How COULD we have the only workable solution on earth and have orgs that are scrappy and degraded? Even though we charge exorbitant amounts to let you in on that workable solution? Do you people ever actually THINK about this? The Medieval Motif Subliminal messaging? Build a castle and all will be well... It will blow you mind! Believe it or not the mind blowing news IAS that there is MORE fundraising! You are going to be blown away by how serious International Management is about taking your money!
