Things are really rocking in the WUS! At least they are if you buy into their self-congratulatory hype.... Some of this stuff is just priceless. The Austin Org has been located right across the street from the University of Texas for DECADES. Can these people really think that if they put nice furniture and install a bunch of FART Div 6 displays it is somehow going to magically take off? This is "Ideal Think" (a new sort of debilitating mental illness that CCHR is doing NOTHING about) to the last stop of the crazy train. Usually the hype is about how they are going to open a "new ideal org" … [Read more...]
Scientology In Detroit
A little item sent in by a Special Correspondent from the Detroit area. They have had an "ideal" building for some time, sitting idle while the existing org struggles to keep the doors open on its current building. If you click on this image, you will see the Google Street View of the front door of the Detroit Ideal Org building. Zoom in on the sign on the door. This is not a shooped image. Sort of encapsulates the state of Scientology and its "ideal orgs." … [Read more...]
Random OT Committee Stork Mail
These random hushmails arrive down the chimney and I dont always have time to even read them. But eventually I publish them as a matter of record as they contain a useful history of the shrinking of the bubble. The panic has really set in at Flag -- he is at the OTC meeting handing out lists of local BUSINESSES and the OTC members are responsible for getting them to get their staff in and onto courses or auditing. This email needs to be preserved if only for this reason -- as evidence in the next lawsuit filed by an employee of a business that is forced to do Scientology as a condition of … [Read more...]
Solve It With Scientology
A lesson from the rewritten history of the Church of Scientology. Truly a blast from the past and a sort of time capsule into how things were 25 years ago before the Vulture Culture became the order of the day. People talk about the "good old days." Others sometimes comment that there were no "good old days" because everything was always bad because everything sprang from the evil mind of L. Ron Hubbard. Well, this makes for interesting reading, as it is evidence that at least one thing about the church really HAS changed dramatically, and it is not because of what LRH wrote. Back in the 7 … [Read more...]
Sydney Grand Opening
Captain Kangaroo must have cleared his schedule to make hisself available for the adoring smaller than expected crowds for the great day in Sydney. (Though they are not promoting He will be in attendance overtly yet, there are probably strict instructions not to let the SP's know, and OMG don't tell Bryan Seymour and Steve Cannane... what if THEY show up wanting an interview?) After promising February, then March, then silence, they are now scheduling the big day for early May. That should give Him enough time to get a video put together for the Maiden Voyage Scuba Diving Cruise. Doubt that … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Fundraising
I think this guy may already have attended Laurie Websters special course on how to fundraise (as opposed to reg). His letter is chockablock with cookie-cutter "save the whales/children/environment/old people" fundraising promotion that appears to have been taken from some sort of fill-in-your-name-here text. If you cannot be bothered reading the whole thing, at least go to the last page. If you just want to see some of the highlights, look at the sections circled in red.... And just as a note, the furniture they are to purchase is dictated to them. They are not making "bulk purchases" -- … [Read more...]
OC GAG II Students Not Even Close
How is it possible that 4 MONTHS after the release of GAG II and its super, incredibly fast training line-up, the IDEAL ORG in Orange County the MOST ADVANCED auditor trainee on the GAG II line-up is on PRO TR's? Maybe GAG II isn't all it's cracked up to be? Surely D/Source for Lost Tech didn't misrepresent his wondrous breakthroughs? Or maybe Orange County only has ONE person on auditor training? Or maybe Orange County only started their first person on GAG II auditor training a month ago? Whatever the reason -- this is more proof that GAG II is not solving anything and the … [Read more...]
“World Famous Celebrity Laurie Webster”
Here is one for the gag file. We have all come to know about the hype that is used to make everything sound soooooo amazing and incredible. But really, Laurie Webster being promoted as a "world famous celebrity"? The only thing she is known for is making endless false promises to defraud people out of their money to "urgently complete" the SP Building when they had all the money needed to do it but just didn't want to end the cash cow. If the end phenomena of completing Super Power, Cause Resurgence, OT VII, Class VI and OEC/FEBC is being an accomplished liar and able to take money from pe … [Read more...]
Flag OTC Annual Report
More from the hushmail fairies. This is the annual report of the Flag OT Committee -- combined with the Tampa OT Committee. As usual, it contains some interesting reading. And it certainly contains proof that the largest, highest trained, most active group of "OT's" are like a pea shooter facing a battleship when it comes to making any sort of impact on society. Not to try to pick apart everything they say, but just a few notes of interest . From reading this, you can see they have gone to school on how to present information -- where there is no news, pick out a tiny example and make it … [Read more...]
There Are Important Things To Read
My posting this morning is really a lighthearted piece of fluff that has little bearing on anything important. However, there are two other stories that anyone interested in this blog should read. They are actually important. First, go to Tony Ortega's blog and read his very well put together piece about Jillian Schlesinger. A remarkable young woman who walked out of the Sea Org at the HGB only weeks ago. And watch the interviews Karen #1 has done with her and posted on her YouTube channel. (Note, there is a second interview video after this one). Second, read the latest article on the … [Read more...]
