What you see below are 4 letters asking someone in Clearwater for money for Orlando "ideal" org. All 4 of them were put into one envelope. Apparently the Orlando org does not have enough money to mail 4 separate letters. Nor do they have money for letterhead. Or anything but the cheapest paper and envelopes. Yet, after years of begging for money and failing, they were just given a new building. A building they don't need. A building they cannot afford. A building they couldn't even fill if they took everyone who has EVER been on staff and everyone who has EVER taken any scientology … [Read more...]

Exclusive? How exclusive can it be when the person delivering the "briefing" is not even on Solo NOTs? Intriguing? Really? And she's "got" over 10,000 people up the Bridge? Must be some of the 2 billion that Tom Cruise has got into scientology A fact? What factual information do they have that they are creating an impact on the planet? Must see... A poster with more words in the copyright notice than in the text The magic of Source And the enchantment of Dan Sherman. Should be quite an evening of sleight of hand and … [Read more...]
The Real State of Flag and LA Orgs
People send me information routinely on their visits to orgs, and I happened to get several recently from people who were in LA and also at Flag. I accumulate these because individually each one is not worth a whole post, but when there are a few they tell a story. In this case, apparently the rudderless ship is all but abandoned. And it is interesting how the stories from different people in different orgs are all pretty much the same. And align so well with the information being imparted on the "Oh No Ross and Carrie" podcasts about their investigation of scientology at Los Angeles org … [Read more...]

Oh No Ross and Carrie Love these two. The second installment is worth listening to, just like the first. Smart, funny people explaining their experiences being sucked into the scientology bubble, including attending the New Year's event. It is humorous to get their take on how things come across to normal people that walk in the door. Listen here. The IAS "Inglewood Edition" Featuring the incomparable Jackson Wyan (whoever he is) rather than the full time IAS Reg Michael Roberts, one of the VERY few African Americans in scientology. So what makes the presentation from … [Read more...]
Orlando Magic
Hey presto, it's a rabbit out of a hat. Suddenly, Orlando is the "next milestone done." It's pretty clear that nobody raised the funds for Orlando -- they are barely even an org and probably have less than 50 public and staff all told. "International management" paid for it (of course, there is no such thing as "international management" these days, it is David Miscavige and "helpers in favor at the moment.") Despite the chest pounding of the Flag OTC, they are ineffective in the ideal org fundraising game. They have been running the "Alliance" of Atlanta, Orlando, Miami and Puerto … [Read more...]
It’s What They Don’t Say…
This is a recent (paid for) "press release." These come out periodically as an effort to generate any sort of semi-positive media in the face of the overwhelming barrage of negative coverage that scientology continues to generate. What is amazing about this one is what it DOESN'T say. Supposedly, Scientology commissioned this religious scholar to conduct a study of scientology throughout Germany. The entire reported conclusion from this study conducted in 2013 and 2014 is precisely NOTHING. Tacked onto the end is the assertion from scientology (apparently not from the … [Read more...]
Nothing Says Chinese New Year Like….
...left-over anti-drug booklets from the church of scientology. Residual evidence that the grand plan of distributing ginormous numbers of Truth About Drugs for the Super Bowl was another Big Fail(tm). I suspect the people who gave them money for the Super Bowl distribution might be just a bit peeved... I suppose they are trying to clear some space in the SFO "ideal org" so they can fit in more copies of the "Basics," "Congresses" and "ACCs." Every org on earth has rooms full of these items when they were forced to buy them from Bridge/NEP in order to inflate the "sales figures" -- … [Read more...]

Magic in Orlando All they have is an empty thermometer and ONE person to suck money out of? This is beyond "wishful thinking" this is outright delusion. Recently "back on OT VII" Wonder where he went and why? Such a strange thing to promote. Those are the question I want answered. A "Very Senior Executive" They don't have a name? Doomed to failure Can you imagine two sorrier excuses for "ideal" orgs than Buffalo and Cambridge and they are "teaming up" to "complete" the Toronto continental org? Other than LA Org and NY, the only org in … [Read more...]
Valley Org OTC Minutes — Beating A Dead Horse
The wind has definitely gone out of the sails of the most important ideal org in the world. They have plans to "kick off" the latest fundraising plans... But with just a handful of people who show up, one can imagine why the "GI" is 0. More evidence of the massive international expansion and straight up and vertical world of scientology. This is another piece of evidence of the true state of scientology. MINUTES VALLEY ORG OT COMMITTEE MEETING February 2, 2016 Note: The minutes are for the sole use of Valley OTC members. All members receive a copy. Please do not forward the minutes t … [Read more...]

Somehow this just seems wrong When are they going to hold a Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of The Hole? Nashville is not rocking This has been an "ideal" org now for SIX YEARS and they JUST got a CCRD auditor and C/S. So much for "clearing their area." And so much for the "lightning fast" training promised with GAG II in November 2013 when all the trainees went for their "short" training program. Monumental breakthroughs! Earth shaking I am sure. Where has TC's brother in law been all these months? Food, glorious food Seems this … [Read more...]
