It's Halloween and the IAS Event all mixed up. There's a reg waiting for you behind every gravestone. Freddy Kruger and the Texas Chainsaw guy are movie characters. Those IAS regges are real. Makes for a week of fine funnies... There's nothing kids like more... I attended a local Halloween event where all local organizations and businesses were giving out Trick Or Treat candy. The CCHR tent gave them a DVD. They probably collected $20,000 to hand out DVDs which were all thrown in the trash. Distrubute... The Super Bowl is a fundraising opportunity … [Read more...]
Puerto Rico – More Ideal Org Fail
These bubbledwellers are so condescending. And I doubt they are even faintly aware of it. "There is not one Puerto Rican who does not have a desire to do better..." Among other statements. And her grammar, vocabulary and understanding of geography is about 5th grade level. Puerto Rico is "off the cuff" of the US? An ideal org in Puerto Rico is "our way to really create a huge WTH movement across all the Western Hemisphere" But the really good news -- Puerto Rico is only "1.4 million miles away" from buying a building. Why they don't just say dollars really is bizarre. If … [Read more...]

It's hard to top a letter from a scientology lawyer, but here we go... It's Epic. World-Changing. Powering Up The Planet. Every event has to be more over the top than the last one. Where can they go next? They already sound like they are writing copy for Marvel Superhero comics. Mad magazine? Aren't they ideal already? How can their files not be filed? They are "ideal"??? Big Weekend? This what passes for a big weekend in HAPI. A professional FSM comes to try and squeeze some commissions out of your few sad public? But don't worry, he will literally jolt … [Read more...]
The Prodigal Son Proclaims St Hill “ideal”
They put up the monumental, epic news about the opening of the "ideal" St Hill on the scientology.org website. And what a doozie it is. The headline is typical shermanspeak overhype, and the text that follows is every bit as laughable. The church claims that "more than 2000" were in attendance. If you can find close to 1000 people in the photo above it would be a miracle. More like 500. And you know this was the BEST shot they could come up with. Here is a small sampling of prolix word salad from the mullet man: A pivotal moment in what has proved a season of … [Read more...]

Something to scream about Nothing can make you scream more than a presentation from the International Landlord Office Shortest Briefing Ever The effect Super Power is having on society... Simple advice Steer clear of any organization that enforces disconnection A religion rich in history Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity... Is this the alliance that is making Orlando "ideal"? The Golden Age of Alliances They are the latest "thing" to solve the problem of so many orgs still going nowhere … [Read more...]

Total Knowledge. Total Certainty. With that, who needs to pay for anything else? Final 150? 150 more staff? Seriously? Never been past that building and even seen a sign of life... There aren't even 150 in this photo? Epic Anniversary! The Command Team has set the standard for the model ideal org -- funny model, it's still the ONLY ONE after a year. Present Time with regard to specific things... Huh? They actually promote this? Sounds like the Mad Hatter talking. Spiritual … [Read more...]

Bringing Peace to the World And this is to be accomplished by... Fundraising for ideal orgs. Of course. 64X Expansion That's why 3 "ideal" orgs have ONE graduation in the atrium of AOLA (not even in "Leb Hall"?) AND they have to bring along guest speakers (regges) to try and attract anyone. Within Milliseconds Scientology Will Be Available To Billions Huh? Anyone on earth can read this blog... Scientology is available in milliseconds right now. You gave money for that? Oh shit If Portland is the best in the whole … [Read more...]
Dear San Diegan….
A Special Correspondent just forwarded this to me. It contains the latest "mind-blowing" "expansion news" Oh my, can you say hype? It is really hard to comprehend the delusional world these people live in. A new Purif completion every 15 mins on this planet. Let's ignore the fact that 90% of them are old Purif completions. People being recycled. Let's just take their figure at face value. This means there are about 50 per day internationally or 350 per week. There are 150 orgs and who knows how many missions. Let's be charitable and say its 300. It means that on average they are do … [Read more...]

Epic event What other kind is there? And the easy answer to the question it poses is: very little, if anything. Many apply, few are chosen Oh, how they wish that were true. They practically beg to get anyone to join staff and now they are offering them full time training (tsk tsk, totally off policy) Champion team Not so much. 15 years later and Kansas City isn't even close to getting an ideal org, even though a building was purchased there about 10 years ago I think... Special Announcement Absolutely anything to make it sound "new" -- … [Read more...]
The Failed Inglewood “ideal org” Experiment
Well, I guess the great social experiment of bringing scientology to the "African American cultural epicenter" has failed. Problem is that virtually everyone they could persuade to take services in this place are imports from other orgs and they repeatedly show their graduations and completions featuring a host of clearly non-locals from CC Int and elsewhere (see latest example below). The strategy of opening Harlem and Inglewood took a HUGE hit with the death of Isaac Hayes. He was the impetus for these orgs even exiting in the first place as he repeatedly harangued Miscavige about the … [Read more...]
