Straight Up and Vertical? This is a recent posting on Instagram showing just how packed the HGC's in the new SP building are.... There is NOTHING happening there, and apparently not even any staff around. They have NO shame... This child has no clue what he is being used for. Once Valley is ideal we can turn on the media blitz... Among all the other bs in here, I wonder why they are waiting for the media blitz? Apparently SO Members are now bodyrouting at the subway entrance at Sunset and Vermont... The "Test Center" on Hollywood Blvd remains … [Read more...]
The Ideal CLO EU
Here is the hype from scientology.org about the wondrous launch of the "future of scientology" in the "European Commonwealth." Somehow there is no mention of the size of the crowd (I wonder why?) But there is plenty of Shermanspeak hype to keep the clubbed seals clapping. Just a sample: If you happened to be in Copenhagen, Denmark the afternoon of October 25, you could have seen the future of Scientology in Europe unfold literally before your eyes. “Today we dedicate a cornerstone for Scientology in Europe and thereby lay a firm foundation from which to extend our Golden Age ev … [Read more...]
Sunday Redux — The Big Ideal Org Lie
I am now making a regular Sunday feature of reposting previous articles that I felt were important. This one is from March 26, 2013. I have added some editorial comments to this in italicized red text that seem appropriate. New Churches of Scientology — Where Are They? The Big Lie: David Miscavige repeats it over and over at events and in Corporate Scientology publications “We are expanding like never before – we have opened X new churches in the last X alone.” Here is a representative sample (in italics) from the Tampa Bay Times – just one of the MANY letters … [Read more...]
North Korea Catching the “Ideal” Wave
An eagle eyed Special correspondent sent me this Daily Mail story which could be about scientology. I have excerpted some of it below, there are more photos at the Daily Mail site. Apparently the North Koreans are envious of the scientology "ideal buildings" strategy for placating the sheeple with photos of empty facilities, all set up for action, but with nobody to use them. The motto seems to be "Build it and they won't come -- but they will be certain other people are and that proves how well things are going inside our bubble." Empty corridors, restaurants with fake grass … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
"We are actually running governments!" It is astonishing the level of self-delusion that these people engage in. It would be VERY interesting to find out which government(s) they are referring to and check in with them -- "Are you aware that you are being "run" by scientology?" More IAS -- Give us your money NOW It just never ends. But what an amazing feat -- with 2000 public on lines and 12,000 local scientologists, they have managed to pull together 69 donations "that I can document." As always to celebrate such milestones we, the Flag … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies – Deep Fried Kool Aid
IAS Feedback They are pulling out all the stops to try and convince people to show up to the local re-airings of the decidedly underwhelming earth shaking IAS 30th Anniversary event. But they are REALLY out of touch with their public. A "testimonial" from a medic at the tent or "local shop owner" isn't going to convince a member of the IAS to show up. And I guarantee that if anyone who is NOT a member shows up, they will not be allowed into this event for fear that they are really a bitter defrocked apostate in disguise sent from the fringes of the internet. But … [Read more...]
Delusion Reigns
These people are SO unreal. Why would a "management org" in a new building be the turning point of anything? There is no contact with the public? It matters not at all whether they have old desks or new custom-built ones, concrete floors or silk persian rugs, bare light bulbs or crystal chandeliers. This is simply the "fad" of scientology. What I now call the ideal syndrome. And why no mention of the ribbon yanking being graced by the presence of Captain Miscavige? Has he reverted to He Who Must Not Be Named again? BTW -- a note for the UK contingent. Seems Dear Leader will be at SH … [Read more...]
Scientology Whale Horror Story
Yesterday, Tony Ortega had a remarkable story on his blog about Bob Duggan, the biggest whale in scientology. Now more of the details have come to light with a new story on the South African blog which exposes some of the sordid underbelly of this bizarre story. This whole affair is further proof (as if any were needed) that scientology has truly become the religion that worships money. If you have enough of it, and give it to them, you are not only lauded with phony titles and big sparkly trophies, there is apparently NOTHING that cannot be provided by the "church". Their model is … [Read more...]

The Jetsons are going to save the world Anyone see Minority Report? The super dooper high tech state of the art newly launched CGI humanitarian program is just that. CGI. No substance. All hat and no cattle. Las Vegas ideal org is on fire They brought in people from a different country 600 miles away... Mexico City "ideal org" is a lot closer to Durango than Las Vegas is. So is Phoenix "ideal" org. Someone found these people wandering around Vegas with nowhere to go and had a bright idea. So, 400 of them came to the org. And the result? ONE start, s … [Read more...]
More News From The Vampire Empire
For the record, and to fill the gap while I finalize another far more important post.... As usual, the OTC's never fail to impress with their dedication to the Vampire Empire, doing their utmost to suck the last dime out of anything that moves. Funny about the reference Quinn the Eskimo uses to justify "fund raising" -- HCOPL 10 Sept 1982 "Exchange, Org Income and Staff Pay." I feel compelled to note this as it is such a startling example of the KoolAid Goggles these people wear. The Eskimo apparently cited this PL for the proposition that it is "group internal pressure" … [Read more...]
