This "success"/ IAS promo piece/COB PR release was recently sent to me. While I am sure Kathy Feshbach had wins, there is a huge elephant sitting in the middle of her gushing wonderment at the brilliance of COB. How can an OT VIII, Class VIII "Full Golden Age of Knowledge" completion conclude that the most valuable thing for her to do is be a full time reg for the IAS? I guarantee you in everything she studied there was not A SINGLE MENTION of the IAS. I guarantee you also that she missed a whole lot of references to the value of auditors and auditing. Somehow … [Read more...]
David Miscavige-Divide and Rule
There is an old principle employed by Roman Emperors, “Divide and conquer/divide and rule.” This is an underlying theme of the reign of the Emperor of Scientology, David Miscavige. The basic idea is to keep various factions of your empire uninformed about the goings-on in other areas. Thus, no mass uprising can occur. You don’t want disaffection with the leadership to spread, if it arises anywhere, it must be stamped out immediately and at once and ensure no other area hears about it to plant seeds of discontent. George Orwell’s 1984 and the brilliant movie The Lives of Others detail methods … [Read more...]
The Experience of a New Public
A report from our man in Brisbane, Australia. Brisbane, like Adelaide, Perth and Canberra (ACT) in Australia is not an “Ideal Org” and doesn’t even seem to be on the horizon for idealishness. This is the real state of the vast majority of Scientology Orgs around the world in this era of “massive international expansion, greater in the last 5 years than in all 50 years before, straight up and vertical like a runaway train on a downhill thundering avalanche of destiny unlike anything ever before witnessed in the history of mankind searching for answers on a … [Read more...]
An Ideal Org IQ Test
Here is another document from our growing team of Special Correspondents keeping their ears to the ground and eyes on the prize. Tony Ortega included the promo piece in his weekly Sunday Funnies collection this morning and it is worthy of a good chuckle. But it came with an email that deserves its own comment. This is a wonderful example of the dimwittedness of these supposed "OT's" who have really learned to not even think dim thoughts for themselves. They are literally dumb as stump posts at this point. A=A=A is the order of the day. If Miscavige pisses on their heads and tells them its r … [Read more...]
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 from the Tampa Bay Times – just one of the MANY letters over recent years that have been sent to the media. Apparently the Scientology spokespeople flunk their TR’s and have no concept how to handle any origination except to pretend it didn’t happen and talk about what they want to say – of course, that’s “Reporter TR’s”…). This is just a small part of the lett … [Read more...]
Ideal Orgs- An Update
The continued descent of the Church of Scientology from theta into MEST is well illustrated by the Great Ideal Orgs Scam. You may recall earlier posts describing the beginning of the incident of this 3rd dynamic engram – Buffalo org the subject of an eminent domain action and Tampa org in a strip mall and an embarrassment to Dear Leader who was in Clearwater to ensure his role as executive C/S of Lisa McPherson didn’t surface in the legal proceedings following her death. David Miscavige Ideal Money Making Strategy With a continued campaign of propaganda by redefinition of terms, Misc … [Read more...]

Debbie Cook was the Captain of the FSO for 17 years and was a Sea Org member for 30 years. She sent this email to her Scientologist friends on 31 Dec 2011.
