I was in San Diego last weekend and swung by the new "ideal org." Here is what scientology displays on their website, presenting this as "California Dreaming Becomes Reality": Here is the non-dreaming reality: It was 6pm on Saturday -- Memorial Day weekend. Just two blocks away, there were literally thousands of people in the streets going to restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp District. They literally overflowed the sidewalks and spilled onto the traffic. This is not an org that lacks nearby body traffic. The entire ground floor is windows (used to be parking … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
We havent heard from the Valley OTC since last December. Of course, they have opened their most important, largest ideal org on earth since then. Now they have resurfaced with some interesting minutes. Full disclosure, I happen to be close to the new org and drive by it once a week at least just out of curiosity. There has been NO SIGN OF LIFE whatsoever any of the times I have driven past. It is certainly a LARGE building. On a busy street. Though not a lot of body traffic (few locations in LA have many people walking anywhere). The picture above from the scientology website illustrates it … [Read more...]
Scientology Massive International Expansion Lies
I noticed this comment on Tony Ortega's blog a couple of days ago and thought it worthy of being preserved in a more easily searchable place. Thank you Panopea Abrupta -- I quote your comment in full and then add some further thoughts below: There are 14 , no, 15 oops, actually 16 states so far with NO $cientology Mission or Org. Alabama Arkansas Delaware Iowa Kentucky (though they do have the Cinncinnati Org, just over the bridge) Maryland Mississippi Montana Nebraska North Dakota Oklahoma (though they do have Narconon.) Rhode Island South Carolina South … [Read more...]
Form Letters
Desperation in the bubble. The "senior" officials of the senior orgs of scientology are sending out form letters begging people to show up at "special briefings" about how orgs are going to "clear their zone"/"go St Hill size now." Wait, I thought that with the ribbon being yanked on "ideal orgs" there comes automatic "10X expansion"? Inglewood has been "ideal" now for years. SFO for much longer than that. Tens of millions of tax free dollars expended... And they are NOT clearing their zones? And are NOT St Hill size? Dear Leader has been selling the ideal orgs strategy for 15 years … [Read more...]
Clearing the planet in striking distance
The endless stream of unreal babbling that comes out of the bubble is astonishing. Here is a new one that just came in. "The clearing of the planet has come in striking distance"? Really? Inglewood is "clearing it's[sic] zone" - they are not even clearing their block. In fact, I don't think they have cleared a single person this year. Not one. "How to reach Eternal Freedom FOR REAL" - riiight. So, if this is all happening, why does the Snr Case Supervisor WUS have to get people to a briefing? And what IS the real reason for holding the briefing at all? To get people … [Read more...]
Theater of the Absurd
Scientology truly plays out like the Theater of the Absurd. This is the latest "news" from St. Louis. Good news, St Louis IS going "ideal." How do we know? Well, because they are an "unrelenting juggernaut" of course. 15 years on and they are are a juggernaut that has accomplished absolutely nothing. But as always, it's coming in the future... The only things they have to report are that there are 55 OTHER empty "ideal orgs" that total 5.8 million square feet of nothing. But hold on, those 55 other ideal orgs are making one clear every 90 minutes. Work that out and those ideal … [Read more...]
Still more “Ideal Org” BS
This is the newest pitch sent out by Clive Rabies who has now apparently abandoned his post and campaign to get 10,000 onto Solo NOTs and is assigned full time to try to assist CLO WUS to revive their moribund ideal orgs. The lies contained in this letter literally infest every sentence. ...Pasadena is going to go Saint Hill size right now!... --the Ideal Org strategy has already changed the face of Scientology... ...not only bringing many more onto The Bridge... ...but is also introducing very influential people to LRH and Scientology... etc etc etc And then a wondrous … [Read more...]
Valley Files Big Fail
Tell us it ain't so... You didn't get the FILING DONE??? OMG! After 20 years of begging, scratching and trying, using the most advanced administrative techniques ever developed on this planet, you could not get the filing done? Why didn't you allocate like $40,000 out of the $40 million you raised to pay some people minimum wage to do the filing? There are tons of people, including a lot of needy scientologists, who would have done it. This is one of the more interesting commentaries about the state of scientology today. What is MOST important is collecting money. Next most … [Read more...]
South African Hype
Here we go again, more ridiculous hype. Opening their abandoned castle as an "AO" is going to solve crime, drugs, poverty, education, disease and political dishonesty... By getting a handful of people to "blow off" their BT's and Clusters? And I do mean a handful. This is not the JOB of an Advanced Org -- that is the job of Missions and Class 5 orgs to reach into society and change conditions. But these are obviously the "buttons" in South Africa, so they pitch people with "we will solve these things with an AO" and assume the sheeple will not stop to think "Why would an AO make any … [Read more...]
More Ideal Org Absurdity
Here is more insanity from the poor sheeple that are still struggling to keep the dream alive. Which is ALL they have. Remember, this was one of the hugely hyped "ideal org buildings" -- a derelict old building that was part of the Kellogg empire. It was purchased MORE THAN 15 YEARS AGO. And now they have "new and exciting news"? (A clue -- that new and exciting news is that you need to hand over more money, a LOT more money.... that is not really "new" and not really "exciting"). The real story of the "massive international expansion" is that it does not exist. Anywhere. Hello … [Read more...]
