Well, that's odd... Shane Brockdorff thinks he was sent to AOSHANZO by LRH. Strange thing, I was WDC Sea Org at that time and put together the "Command Team" with Greg Wilhere and others and sent them to set up the first new AO since AOLA. LRH had nothing to do with it. A closed door announcement? They don't want anyone to know what they are announcing? Find a Ruin Everytime It's easy. Just tell people they are depressed, uncertain, unhappy, irresponsible, unrealistically happy, gleeful etc etc until they agree with something. Works everytime. Or every … [Read more...]

Scientology Shriveling
With great fanfare, scientology screams "expansion" every time they cut the ribbon on an old org relocated to an expensive new building. Recently we saw one of their upcoming projects, Perth "ideal" org, talking about how they are going to be clearing "Malasia", Singapore and Indonesia. There is no thought of opening ORGS in these countries. Instead, they desperately fundraise to buy a new building for a small, failing org that has ALWAYS been small and failing and proudly proclaim this will herald a new era in countries thousands of miles away. Pure insanity. Remember when … [Read more...]
“It works every time because it was written by LRH”
This is an amazing piece from Jeanie Franks/Bogvad's current husband. It is a distillation of how fundamentalist scientologists view the world and their role in it. First off for every good scientologist, an "LRH quote" must set the stage and prove to everyone how "On-Source" you are. It is proudly proffered, without irony, to demonstrate that one is "with the program" as a true scientologist and thus can think for themselves. This one especially picked to be used to overcome sales barriers. "I don't have any money for that auditing you say I need" is responded to with "You are just … [Read more...]
Dave’s Christmas Vacation
Well, no surprise to see the Diminutive One show up in S. Africa for the perfunctory ribbon yanking of a second "ideal" building to add to the empty Joburg org just down the way... Why would the "ecclesiastical leader of the scientology religion" fly 12,000 miles to South Africa two days before Christmas and schedule the "New Year's" event for 16 December, two weeks before New Years? Best answer: because he planned a little vacation for himself in S. Africa. What a great opportunity to make a trip to the furthest reaches of earth, away from the pesky media, courts and whistle-blowers … [Read more...]

We Are Hiring Anyone for anything. If you are willing to sign a billion year contract we will take you as long as you are breathing. Read this... The first para is Shermanesque. You finish reading it and feel confused. It does not end. The second para is the big reveal that there are universities in Boston and the org there will of course influence Presidents. I wonder where these people live? Planet Cornball? More brilliant logic in play... Actually, imagine how much charge keeps building up. What does this have to do … [Read more...]
News from The Valley
I like to keep tabs on the largest and most important Ideal Org on earth -- especially as it is my local org when I am in Los Angeles. At least it can rightfully lay claim to having the largest and emptiest parking lot of any scientology org on earth (others are just as empty, none are nearly so big...) First, they sent out this terrific Holiday Greetings card: Interesting they selected this particular sentence from the "Ideal Org" Policy Letter. It's so nebulous. People come there to get freedom, they have confidence in the fact it will happen and then they run smack … [Read more...]

"The Strategy for Clearing Florida" You can bet it consists of ONE thing. You giving them your money. They have no strategy. There isn't even an org in Jacksonville. Or Tallahassee. Or Naples. Or West Palm Beach. Or Daytona Beach. Or Pensacola. Or Gainesville. And there isn't even a Mission in any of these places. Their "strategy" consists of mental masturbation. And your money. We love people from all religions As long as they have spendable cash. And we will pretend we care about their holidays to get them to hand it over. Season's … [Read more...]
Vicki Shantz Recruiting for CF
This is what the most senior executive in the Western United States has devolved into. Begging people to do backlogged filing in one of her orgs. In fact, begging "OT's" who have "such amazing abilities to create effects across the dynamics." Though apparently those effects do not include managing to get people into the org or enough people on staff to do the filing. The bait? A personal commendation... but then again doesn't seem like a commendation from the CF In Charge for WUS would carry much weight. But then again, commendations aren't worth the paper they are printed on held up … [Read more...]
