I was forwarded this email from the EDs of Salt Lake City "ideal" org. I reprint it here with spelling errors/typos exactly as it was received. Another confirmation that this org is closed (public are not receiving services physically inside the org) -- but they then go on in typical scientology style to say the answer to the question "Wait, does that mean the Org is closed?" is "Absolutely not, in fact, the org is more open than ever." Only in the deluded world of scientology would a shuttered org be more open than ever... But "more open than ever" translates into more desperate for … [Read more...]
Scientology Shuttering
Here are the comments people sent in yesterday about the state of scientology orgs in their local area. If you have a minute and can contact your local org, I will add it to the update. So far, everywhere seems to be closed except Flag (not sure about the other Advanced Orgs). This is catastrophic for the scientology empire -- the longer staff and public are away from the control mechanisms exerted on them in the bubble, and the more bored they get, the more likely it is they are going to come across something on the internet or TV that is going to start them down the rabbit hole of … [Read more...]
The IAS — The Black Heart of the Scientology Vulture Culture first published May 13, 2013
See my announcement on Friday -- I am revisiting earlier posts during my vacation. Each day there will be a different one. This is some interesting history and background on the IAS. The history of the International Association of Scientologists is worth knowing. Its initial value (in 1984) as a repository of funds outside the reach of the IRS in 1984 may be debated. It seemed like a good way of protecting money. The IAS had nothing to do with the “Portland Crusade” though David Miscavige has made it part of his history now. (As a note, the "winning tradition" born in … [Read more...]
Johannesburg “Ideal” Org — Truth Revealed first published 2 April 2013
See my announcement on Friday -- I am revisiting earlier posts during my vacation. Each day there will be a different one. This details the reality of an ideal org from an insider at the time. Things have only gone downhill since.... I have written a number of articles concerning the Miscavige “Ideal Orgs” scam. I have compared it to policy and shown it is squirrel. I have pointed out how it has destroyed the LRH Birthday Game and the idea of staff moving up to OT. But this write up puts everything into perspective. Strip away the hype and hoopla, the lies and false … [Read more...]
The Metrics: Global BS
This is a recent tweet from Freedom magazine. The level of bald-faced lies is breathtaking. 1.5 million volunteers? Where? I can only assume they now count everyone in the Red Cross wordlwide because a Volunteer Minister in Manila had a photo taken with the local Red Cross coordinator. Scientology could hardly scrape together 1.5 million BT's if they rounded up their 6500 OT's and had them pool their resources. This is simply absurd. And apparently they say it with a straight face. Seeing this, I just had to click on their link to "get the story." So, here is their … [Read more...]

Twin Cities is #1 Seriously? 37 weeks at number 1 speaks volumes as to the state of scientology. This place is deader than a doornail... and they are the best. Few Apply, All Are Chosen And why do you always leave out the bit about terrible pay in the middle? Why no mention of Scientology? It's being held at Joburg Org. According to Google maps that is the corner of Langermann Dr and Grays St. They can't even get the address right? They spelled it right one this one... Celebrate 10 years of … [Read more...]
Even More on Ventura
Someone sent me a link to this Facebook group I grew up in Ventura California and a posting there about scientology coming to town. This group has 22,000 members. It was a pretty innocuous thing about the brightness of the sign on the building. As of now it has over 450 comments. Though I have not carefully read every comment, I can say with a high degree of certainty that there are virtually no positive comments about scientology. And yet, their PR line is that the demand for scientology is so great, and they are expanding so rapidly, that to meet the demand, they have … [Read more...]
More on Ventura
A tidal wave of Shermanspeak engulfed Ventura county as scientology's Dear Leader yanked his ribbon in front of his latest real estate investment in an industrial area next to a freeway. The screaming headline at scientology.org is typical: SCIENTOLOGY IDEAL ORG RISES LIKE A LEGENDARY KING WAVE IN VENTURA’S SURF CITY And it goes downhill from there. This is a "Seaside" Grand Opening that marks a milestone for Scientology’s spectacular growth across the Golden State. Growth?? Where? Every org is struggling and there are less missions than ever... The smarmy surfing language continues: … [Read more...]
California is All Ideal
The great ribbon yanking ceremony was held at the Ventura industrial facility yesterday, and they came from all over the United States to witness the wonder of Dear Leader spouting Shermanspeak. A special correspondent was there to get some shots -- though of course, scientology had done their best to keep the prying eyes of wogs and malcontents from getting anywhere close to the "festivities". Our correspondent reports they had blocked off the road where the Org is. Security was across the freeway and all along the road attempting to prevent those damned public from seeing what was … [Read more...]

On the road again... Mystery ailments and a mystery cure. Who said scientology doesn't cure physical conditions? She can drive again! This quote is not about joining staff... Typical, they can't even get their quotes from Ron right Talking Half-Heads? What happened here? Another young life wasted... But she was an employee of Grant Cardone, so it's not a whole lot different. She just won't have as much free time or money. This is all they could muster? A CLO, an AOSH and an Ideal Org and the best shots they … [Read more...]
