Wow.... Have the Nation of Islam taken over the Church of Scientology Inglewood? What is in this for the NOI? How can buying a building in the Valley for a Church of Scientology possibly help forward their agenda? Have the NOI and Church of Scientology merged into one organization? Understand that Tony Muhammad is the head of the Western Region of the Nation of Islam. This would be like Heber Jentzsch being the features speaker at the Los Angeles Mormon Temple fundraiser to raise money to build a new Mormon Temple in the Valley. Why would he do that instead of speak at the Scientology … [Read more...]
Scientology in the Bay Area — Boom or Bust?
Last week we showed you the "test center" for Mountain View Org with a "For Lease" sign on it and reported about the two vacant building in an industrial park that have sat idle for 5 years now. A few miles up the 101 is another "Ideal Org", San Francisco. It is one of the original 5 orgs that launched Miscavige's program a DECADE AGO (Tampa, Buffalo, Joburg, NY and SFO). But even before the Ideal Org hype came the Ideal Mission hype for the "celebrity" Mission of SOMA ("South of Market") -- more on the other "celebrity" missions in Wichita, Memphis and Santa Monica in another post. Izhar … [Read more...]
Scientology Gone Status Crazy
The Idle Org money crush to buy extravagant and unnecessary buildings in deserted areas of cities around the world has been the subject of much comment and speculation. But here are some facts and figures -- not for the faint of heart. But it does prove the economic wisdom of Miscavige's plan. Wisdom is used advisedly of course. If your PURPOSE is to accumulate MEST it is a fabulous plan. Though if your purpose is to help people, it is an unmitigated disaster. First of all, what does it take to get one of these fancy Scientology Idle Org Donation statuses? This list, presented on the New … [Read more...]
Scientology Mountain View — A Not So Ideal Ideal Org
This is the first in a series of investigations into the status of highly publicized churches and missions. Thanks to Special Correspondent Ronn Stacy who took this shot of the Mountain View "Ideal Org" Test Center today. If you cannot see clearly -- those are "For Lease" signs in the window. Ronn tells us that he doesn't know if they relocated but that would seem odd since this was a prime downtown location they have had for a decade or more. At one time they ran most of Div6 here, OCA testing, basics bookstore, pinch tests, Div6 Crs Room, Book 1 auditing. Mountain View was one of the f … [Read more...]
Church of Scientology — Wack Jobs?
Just a bit of lighthearted amusement among the real news being generated by Corporate Scientology, but it illustrates an important point about the state of Scientology. This email is being sent out by Boston Org with no message, just the subject heading "Freedom Alliance Mystery Magnet." What are they thinking? Not much apparently. Not even a Paypal button like Austin to give them $25,000? But then again, I guess it makes about as much sense as the other garbage that is sent out to convince local org public to give money to other orgs for their "Ideal Buildings" when their own org do … [Read more...]
"Czech Scientologists Getting Madrid Done" Great News???
This is bizarre on so many levels... For anyone who doesnt know, Madrid is like Buffalo. One of the very first "Ideal Orgs" (and a very high priority for Miscavige at the time as Tom Cruise was dating Penelope Cruz and her family were being coaxed into the church -- Penelope's sister is a very well known TV presenter in Spain), they have had a second "Grand Opening" and now they doing their "Non E Campaign" (10 years later). And apparently the "hey-you" isnt just across the US for Portland, Europe was in on it too because they say "after having finished the funding for Portland" we are now … [Read more...]
Scientology Photoshops Audience for Miscavige Event
When you try to claim that a crowd of 400-500 is actually a crowd of 2,500, Photoshop is your best friend. The Radical Church of Scientology is no stranger to photoshopping audiences and their "man with no head" audience member went viral after the 1999 New Years Event. Scientology Audience Doctored. However with all the attention on the Portland ("Scientology City") opening and the months of pressure to have Scientologists from all over the world fly in to puff up the crowd at the event, apparently the disappointment of unused chairs and low attendance was too much. So when the o … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Paranoia At Fever Pitch In "Scientology City"
See the idiotic lengths Corporate Scientology went to in order to try to prevent Mark Bunker from shooting the ribbon cutting ceremony of the "Ideal Org" in "Scientology City" (known to the rest of the world as Portland Oregon). Tony Ortega has had a running commentary provided by Mark Bunker documenting the events on his blog. One has to ask the question: Why bother? Miscavige jets into Portland to speak, along with some other duped "OLs" to "the public" on THE STREET. Yet he is absolutely paranoid about Mark Bunker accessing a vantage point to film the proceedings. The church p … [Read more...]
An Ideal Florida! Hand Over Your Starbucks
This is a bit old, but one of our Special Correspondents came across it recently. It follows the Captain Harvey the Clown posting perfectly, illustrating how far the Command Intention Vulture Culture has trickled down. This guy is theoretically the Dir of PUBLIC BOOKSALES of Tampa Day Ideal/St Hill Size super org. And here he is begging for donations to create OTHER "Ideal Orgs" for an "Ideal Florida" Not even "donations" for books. And they are doing it because they "are part of Flags total amount, but we get credit for the raising of what we bring in." What sort of Admin Scale are these p … [Read more...]
The Captain FSO Explains His Priorities
Here is a new email laying out the priorities for the Flag OT Committee as directed by the clown in charge of the FSO. A couple of comments: The FIRST priority for the FSO is "Ideal Orgs"? Bizarre. More evidence that "Command Intention" (ie Miscavige orders) has taken the place of all other policy/programs/orders in the RCS. Believe me, this ONE thing alone would be enough for Miscavige to be declared by LRH. There are enough old timers around who can recall the wrath that rained down on anyone who cut across the FSO's main line business... The SECOND priority is the IAS. And the same old lies … [Read more...]
