Seriously, do they really buy this bunk? "The mock up now is to make Albuquerque the fastest org in the world to go Ideal." WTF are you talking about Quinn? They have been being hammered to be "ideal" just like all the other orgs around the world since 2003. Well over a decade. And now, they are going to be "the fastest"? Fastest from when? The coming of Quinn Taufer? And then you follow that up with a statement that if everyone came prepared to hand over enough money we could have a "ONE AND DONE" event? And boy, just a moment's thought to that "LRH quote" -- especially the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Be a genius... Avoid handing over anything for something so stupid. ASHO's finest This here is a proud ASHO Duke of the Book Reading Elite. Big News No doubt it will be monumentally epic if it's being announced by the "OT Alliance I/C" Hold the presses... It's even monumentaller than that. Two people are required to give it the gravitas it deserves. So, bring in the PES. Wonder what the org ED is doing on Saturday night? It's not big enough for him/her to make the announcement? In that case, I would give this one a miss... … [Read more...]
Moscow Ruling
The details are skimpy so far, but the essence of it seems to be that a Moscow City Court has ordered the church of scientology in Moscow to close up shop within 6 months for being in violation of business laws. They seem to conclude that scientology must be a business because the name (and other things) are trademarked. Tony Ortega has a pretty concise summary at his blog. This order will of course be appealed by scientology. And the last time the government in Moscow refused to register the church it eventually made its way to the European Court of Human Rights which sided with … [Read more...]
What Is The Ideal Org Program?
Any time there is a post about ideal org failures, there is a lot of speculation about "Why?" I have written various posts and comments about this from time to time, but realized I had never put it all in one place. There are two reasons for the ideal org program that go hand in hand. And it explains why, in spite of the clear failure of this program to bring about planetary clearing, or anything at all aligned with the "Aims of Scientology," it will continue to be pushed until the very end. 1. It is vital for Miscavige to hold onto his position 2. IRS … [Read more...]

This is the model, double SH Size ideal org and their CF filing is 96% backlogged. Still skateboarding Wow, this must have REALLY impressed those people at Flag. My win is that I didn't skateboard on the street where I could have been run over. That seems even more Super Powered to … [Read more...]
More Proof Scientology Is Not Expanding
Every day things arrive in my email from people around the world that highlight the absurdity of the scientology bubble. Many of them concern the claimed "straight up and vertical" international expansion Miscavige talks about at every event. You know, international expansion greater in the last 437.3 days than the 12,469,873.2 minutes cumulative previously... 12 million scientologists. New orgs opening everywhere. Governments fully adopting scientology. LRH tech pervading society. More awards for Hubbard than any many or beast in history. Square inches of new marble inlaid. … [Read more...]
Boston — The Model “Ideal” Fail
This is another demonstration of the complete fail of the "ideal org" strategy. Boston is one of the oldest and once largest orgs in the United States (it may still be one of the largest with 20 or so staff). But it is important for a very particular reason. THIS is the org that L. Ron Hubbard wrote about as "proof" that it was not just him who could expand an org rapidly to SH Size. In LRH ED 339R-1 written on 10 October 1982 L. Ron Hubbard wrote: "It only took a few weeks to build the old Saint Hill org. That they did the same thing a few years later in Boston shows that i … [Read more...]

Ideal Emptiness They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Big empty "studio" is the perfect venue to disseminate about big, empty orgs... Oh Dear... Obviously, the COP is back in town and going to make a spectacular, epic, milestone, watershed announcement momentous sort of all-time thing at Graduation this week. He knew he couldn't leave it to these people to do it right, so though they had a special briefing in the "Board Room" a month ago, obviously things didn't take off like they should have. So, once again, He has to do it all himself. But wait a minute. There … [Read more...]
Milano Grand Opening Photoshop Fail
Dear Leader jetted off to Milan for a ribbon yanking even last weekend. It was certainly supposed to have happened PRIOR to the IAS event and couldn't get done in time. Ah well. It will be good to have something for the New Year's event. And he got to spend a week shopping for some new shoes at John Lobb. With the constant news from the Hurricane Leah, things have been backed up. I didn't want this to wait too long and tomorrow is Thursday Funnies and Friday is Regraded Being, so letting this see the light of day. One of our Italian Special Correspondents sent in this report. They … [Read more...]
LA Model Ideal Double St Hill Size Sea Org Command Team FAIL
One year of production. It tells you how insulated these people are from the real world. They put out these stats as if they are so monumentally, epically milestoney that they deserve their own poster. Remember 200 SO Org members were imported into this org to take it over. It is promoted throughout the scientology bubble as the "model" that everyone is striving for. The org that was awarded, by Dear Leader himself, the special status of "Double St Hill Size." This is the org that Andres Rodriguez toured around promoting -- "700 new people starting on service each week." That … [Read more...]
