  Mini Mike visits Flag Just dropped in to try to say hi to Mr. Mickiewicz.     Rogue's Gallery Only missing Grant Cardone to complete this pantheon of hucksters.   This is the "Advanced Org"? Why are they promoting free introductory VM services?   Meet the staff? Just an excuse to put the best looking woman on their promotion. Surely the ED or Technical Secretary or even a reg would be more appropriate than the receptionist?   This is very weird.... Two scientology celebrities talking about "total freedom" starting with … [Read more...]

  Mr. Mickiewicz Going to be calling the COB "Mr. Mickiewicz" from now on....   Infinite Expansion? If he knows how to create infinite expansion, how come there are no orgs in Slovakia or Lithuania?   Contrary Facts Her friend is an OT VII who can't make it go right to pay for OT VIII without selling her gaudy scientology jewelry? So much for those OT's at cause over all life.   The "National Church" This is it -- the "National Church" up there on the "first floor" as it is called in Australia (below it is the "ground floor"). No sign. No … [Read more...]

  This is the "Advanced Org" Their "Safe Pointing" campaign...   ASI's "Tasty Treats" Get yourself a shot of hot jolt -- while they try to sell you some "priceless" "special editions" of Ron's old, not very good, fiction.   He's Running in Circles He's "on Cause Resurgence" -- wonder if he's dizzy?   No Org Graduates? Just someone from Flag?   An example to others? Oddly for Chicago, she is young. This poster is a bit misleading given the other old people we have seen...     Avoid bad decisions Like paying $6 … [Read more...]

    What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program.   Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on?   A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts...   Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend...   The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this?   Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [Read more...]

    Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything.   The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country?   What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money.   The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there...   Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why?   Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]

  A lot of promo this week has been devoted to the massively, spectacular, epic wider bridge OMG! But there are some other bits and pieces worthy of comment...   Postcard Mania? This is the venue, not one of the numerous completely empty Potemkin village buildings on N. Ft Harrison?   What is she holding up? Why are they blanking out a routing form?   Deep questions and an epiphany Scientologists love good conspiracy theories. Global Elites in secret perverted activity! Things TOO disturbing to share. But scientology has the answer. The ONLY … [Read more...]

  The Chan Man He is going to singlehandedly make Canada ideal, like he has the US (except for those who are still trying...) If this guy is SO powerful, how come all orgs aren't done yet?     The Magic of Chicago? Bringing out the best in your child... Plus Freewinds "goodwill" tour and the Top Gun Chicago Air and Water show. Every one of these is a disguised recruitment event. Trying to get anyone to show up they can pressure into joining staff. Why not start with Marcy Sargeant?   Wick Allcock is still in Melbourne? He HAS been "put out to … [Read more...]

  Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific.   First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal...   Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not   Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [Read more...]

  "Ideal" Continent Will be accomplished by getting buildings renovated for Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Never mind the fact there is not a single org in Indonesia, the Philippines, China, South East Asia, Oceania or the Indian subcontinent. Planetary Clearing is happening!   More ideal-y-ness   Community and Economic Development? If they're so good at this, how come their own communities are disappearing before their very eyes? They're down to a handful of scientologists in the major cities of S. Africa and you can count them on one hand in … [Read more...]

  Be kind, be decent... Yeah, the guiding principles of scientology. Not   AOSH Africa taking over the world One country that is actually their zone, everywhere else they are poaching other AO's territory! And who the hell is this guy -- he is from Albania? Why is he promoting AOSH Africa and not AOSHEU?   Oh boy... Columbus is almost the BEST org in all of EUS? And the real scoop on this Sea Org manned org is that it is a complete morgue -- listen to the podcast Chris Shelton did recently with the SO member who The Aftermath Foundation helped … [Read more...]
