The "Rebels for Freedom" are "riding" -- virtually! You must watch the video -- it shows a bunch of unknown bikers rolling down the highway to Steppenwolf 's"Born to be wild" and then cuts to various stills of old scientology-people in sunglasses trying to look tough/cool. Like they are bikers... It says there will be "Breaking news" from the Landlord Office that will "massively accelerate" the ideal org in New Haven. I can easily translate this: if you give more money, we will "accelerate" the New Haven "ideal org." But "acceleration" of this ideal org is an … [Read more...]
Pretoria “Ideal” Org: Barely Alive But The Building’s Fine
Here are the latest news and accomplishments from the scientology outpost in Pretoria South Africa. Their number one priority is to protect their BUILDING! And then protect their staff. And then protect their public. That tells you everything there is to know about the state of scientology... The most important thing is not the people, it's the bricks and mortar. MEST. This single promotional item sums up scientology with that one statement. But they go on with a list of graduates -- I highlighted 3 recurring names. Didn't pay much attention to any other recurring … [Read more...]
Breaking News: Tampa Org is Now Open!
Tampa sent an email out last evening announcing they are "Open to the Public." They have implemented a few "minor guidelines" -- including following their own booklet on how to stay safe and wearing facemasks and gloves (gloves? even though the evidence shows COVID-19 is not transmitted via hard surfaces). It is going to be interesting to watch how much attrition scientology will suffer from this lockdown. I suspect there is a good percentage of their public who experienced the unusual peace and calm of not being constantly harassed by regges and don't ever want that headache to come … [Read more...]
Valley Org – Nobody Home?
Somehow the only pronouncements that come out of Valley Org come from these two -- and they are the "OT Committee"... Surely, it is the job of the STAFF to board up the org? Are there actually no staff left? The staff of the org have nothing to do right now. Whey aren't they boarding the place up? Virtually every ideal org that has had staff "ringers" For the ribbon yanking day -- either temporarily sent from other orgs to make it appear they had at least a minimum number complement supervisors, or "wog recruits" who were promised a "livable wage" in the weeks leading up to the … [Read more...]
Spreading the Calming Influence
This is a photo taken last night of the New York "ideal org." While it is understandable in light of the nightly rioting in many US cities, including New York, it highlights a point that I often make here. Scientology routinely makes grandiose claims of their accomplishments that are disproven by the reality of the world around them. In this case, it's their own front door. They say Way to Happiness is bringing peace and calm to neighborhoods, societies and nations. You just need to get it into the hands of the people and they suddenly realize the errors of their ways and peace is … [Read more...]
Valley Vultures Circling Again
These Valley vultures just never stop. For some reason Valley is promoting the 100,000 chillies "game" That's another thing? Why are they always using euphemisms for money? It's "steps" or "miles" or "chillies" but never dollars? By the way, are chillies supposed to be chilis? Or is this some "gangsta" term they are using? Like "when they gave us the check we got the chillies up and down our spine"? I wonder if they think it sounds too crass to say dollars? Or are they worried about sounding too commercial? Do they think this is fooling anyone? Why would they WANT to fool … [Read more...]
“No Reging”
This is a bit old. I had overlooked it and then noticed "No Reging"[sic]. This is a very interesting development. John Alex Wood is still alive and kicking? Who knew? But more importantly, I think this is an indicator the pandemic is going to have a significant long-term effect on scientology. Not only because people are not coming in and paying for services right now and are instead hiding out at home doing a $20 Extension Course, sending in a chapter every few weeks. But because this break is changing the mindset of the sheeple. It's like someone who has had a headache every … [Read more...]
Hawaii Five-Oh Oh — A Thursday Funny
The "Task Force" to "Save the Islands!" Seriously? Save them from what? They cannot even save themselves. Hawaii has been a small and failing org for decades. And that is being kind. They actually barely exist. That's why all the other orgs have to come to their rescue. I wonder if they realize (probably nobody in Hawaii org is OT III) that this is one of the two most important locations on earth in the Xenu story (along with "Las Palmas" which is a mistake as that is the name of a city, not a volcano or even volcanic island...). According to Hubbard's theories, there … [Read more...]
Auckland Speaks For All Scientologists…
This pretty much sums up the scientology mindset on the subject of the pandemic. Not pushing Decon7 or any of the other PR lines about what they are doing to contribute with their photo ops, they talk some real scientology turkey here. Explaining that people are "restimulated.” Forget the virus, this is their reactive minds, the ones they will eventually realize they are "mocking up" that is causing them to die. The only solution to this, the real problem, is to train more auditors and join staff. This is literally the answer to EVERYTHING on planet earth. I wonder if it ever … [Read more...]
EUS Has Some Large Holes
EUS put out a promo piece to promote the amazing "success" they are having with Extension Courses. They rounded up "winners" from all their orgs. I guess these people managed to complete a chapter in a book in a week (one chapter is one "extension course"). But what's missing? NOBODY from the biggest ideal org ever -- Tampa. Nobody from the newest ideal org -- Columbus. Nobody from the ideal orgs in Orlando. And nobody from the almost not there any more orgs in Battle Creek, Philly, Chicago and Boston. With all scientology activity reduced to Extension … [Read more...]
