This is a report of a very recent visit to Scientology Phoenix Org by someone I knew in the CMO and SO. Frankly, he gives them a lot more benefit of the doubt than I may have, but still, if this is an Ideal Org and this is how David Miscavige plans to “clear the planet” the proverbial snowball in hell is great odds by comparison. Mike Rinder Personally wanting to see what an ideal org looks like, I decided to visit Phoenix org. I haven’t been in an org since leaving the CMO and the SO in 1990, before the conception of the ideal org campaign. Back then, the push was St. Hill Size. Period. H … [Read more...]
Corporate Scientology Child Fundraisers
Miscavige and his corporate Scientology vultures have apparently taken lessons from Slumdog Millionaire on how to use children to raise money. This may be hard to believe, but I assure you this is 100% true. First, here is an excerpt of a Hat Write sent in by one of our Swiss correspondents. It explains how to raise funds using children. NEW ORG BUILDING FUNDRAISING EVENTS HAT WRITE-UP by DENNIS NEGLEY EVENT FUNDRAISER SAN FRANCISCO On page 11 it says: CHILDREN’S DONATIONS These are so theta and are an energizing part of every event. Encourage attendees to bring their children 8 years and ab … [Read more...]
It’s an Ideal Ideal World…
David Miscavige's Propaganda by Redefinition of Words is trickling down to the few remaining field auditors (who apparently no longer audit but deliver "seminars" -- auditing as a career in the RCS doesnt seem to work out, though today there are a lot of independent field auditors who are prospering...). The objective now is an "Ideal Life." Even in the same font as the "Ideal Org" promotion. Soon to come -- "Ideal Children", "Ideal Meals", "Ideal Cats"... This is the new Corporate Scientology "brand" -- Apple has iPhone, iMac, iPod; Costco has "Kirkland;" Walmart has "Great Value" and Mi … [Read more...]
Remember Heber
This is SICK. I doubt Heber -- who the church still promotes as its "President" -- will be in attendance for the opening of the "Ideal Org" in the "First Scientology City" (huh)? The gall of these people to put a picture of Heber on their poster -- when he is locked up and only allowed out for the funeral of his son (and only after Karen DelaCarriere shamed the church into it). He doesn't have another son, so I guess he isn't ever getting out again until its his funeral. Update: I did not inspect this poster closely enough and several have pointed out that the shot is in fact Leo … [Read more...]

Tel Aviv Ideal Org — Straight Across and Prostrate
From our Special Correspondent in the Holy Land. It's a shame so few are fluent in Hebrew. Still, I forward below a link to an Israeli web-site that gives all theatre and musical performances in Israel and option to purchase tickets. The site is called "habama", meaning "the stage". And now we have a new theatre hall in Israel, the "Alhambra". Sounds familiar maybe? Yes, it's the name of the historical building which is now the "Ideal Org" of Tel Aviv. David Miscavige purchased this building … [Read more...]
A Long Term Class V Staff Perspective
This personal story from another of the growing list of Special Correspondents is so applicable to so many that I though it important to post it. It aligns with the recent post I did entitled Divide and Rule. Mike Rinder As an ex-Class V org staff member, here's something I've found interesting. Throughout my staff tenure of 12 1/2 years, I never visited any other Class V org than my own. Who could afford it? I was on staff. And never had time off anyway. The point is, the only idea I had of what it was like at other orgs is what I saw played at events. When you see … [Read more...]
Newsflash: Cambridge Org is Now "Humanitarian"
The first org in the world is now "humanitarian". What an honor! Seems like the right amount of money can buy a status not only for anyONE but for anyTHING. I am not sure even the Popes of the Middle Ages sold indulgences to entire churches? And how appropriate it is to spread the largesse so well piloted for individuals to whole churches. No need to keep your ethics in/train/audit or DO any humanitarian work/good deeds -- just GIVE the appropriate bribe, payment, pay off er... donation and all will be taken care of. Then you can proudly … [Read more...]
Clicking for Dollars — UK Leads the Way
If you thought you had seen the bottom of the RCS begging barrel, just keep checking here for updates. I cannot even comprehend what else they will come up with.... Like watching a train wreck, it is both horrifying and compelling. One of our Special correspondents in the UK sent in news of an innovation being pushed by Tony Hollom ("OT8") and the AOSHUK OT Committee. Here is what she sent us: Basically it is a scheme which donates a small amount to a charity of your choice when you shop online. I've included the original email and a few images … [Read more...]
The New Miscavige Birthday Game!
Remember when the LRH Birthday Game was about giving LRH the birthday gift he wanted? Org Expansion... Well, like a lot of other things in Miscavige Corporate Scientology, there's a new sheriff in town and the organization is being modeled in his image. Of course, there is no grand announcement that "the old birthday game is no more" it's more subtle. Like "Command Intention" morphed from "LRH intention" to "COB intention" and Miscavige gradually assumed the role of "finder of lost tech" to "refiner of tech" to … [Read more...]
