Late today, I had some other things happening and couldn't get this ready in time...   It's BBQ time in Melbourne for no reason And not the sort of thetan BBQ held 75 million years ago...     At least Chicago has a reason... And some mighty entertainment   Let's test her abilities to communicate with anyone... Ever met an SP?   Chan Man is back big time... And he has a magician with him   New Era snagged him for a webinar I just don't get the appeal of this guy. If you have ever listened to one of his lectures (Tony … [Read more...]

  Three? Not just scientology -- the only path to Planetary Clearing? Maybe NOI? Buddhism?   Columbus is back With a Dianetics potluck. They're really going to town celebrating the most important book in the history of mankind....   This is the "huge" Canada Ideal Org convention.. The one they held at the airport. They had a penguin/dolphin/killer whale thingie...   A moose...   A few people -- many appeared to be staff..   And of course, people on stilts wearing a hockey mask... Talk about … [Read more...]

  They're hopping in Brisbane... All 10 of them. They're heading for Planetary Clearing in no time with this army.   Dianetics hitting the streets in Chicago Wonder if they actually sold a book?   Graduation? I thought that was for people completing auditing and courses?   The Chanman cometh Take your life to the "next level"... Whatever that means.   The 'home stretch"  Yeah, they've been saying that for a year now.   If you've read History of Man, you'll know what I mean... Oh dear. You mean you think that is … [Read more...]

  It's ALWAYS "around the corner" Or "coming up." Never happening NOW or "already happened."   Why is it just the same 4 "beautiful people"? Isn't there anyone else in Vancouver?   Good luck with that... They're about as valuable as last week's newspaper.   Going back to the 50's Scientology has been stuck in the 50's, well, since the 50's.   You need a Class IX to explain this? That's what the Comm Course supposedly teaches you?   Power Up Your Life? They bring in someone from Twin Cities -- one of the deadest of the dead … [Read more...]

  How Times Have Changed Arte Maren, one of the original GO mouthpieces is being promoted by Flag. Hubbard would shit if he knew this -- "FSMs" being promoted by Flag, when they're supposed to be the ones promoting Flag. And a GO traitor (Hubbard painted the GO with a VERY broad brush after they got caught -- they were heros before that of course)   A seminar for celebrities and artists who aren't doing well... Jenna Elfman might be attending I heard. Bodhi is definitely in. Jim Meskimen is probably planning to go.   "Must Attend" Never been said before … [Read more...]

Her dad convinced her....   The monumental COB briefing... About Africa? In Australia?   You think he knows what this even means?   Wow -- a basic course completion! That's worth promoting...   Dream Team?   A Free Seminar in Chicago!   This is new news? Like it needs an exclamation point...   Looking REALLY excited Just wait to see her expression when she gets her first pay check.   Another one brimming with enthusiasm! Why not join the "ideal org" in Nashville? At least its … [Read more...]

The Great New Era Webinar and How Scientology Fakes “Good News”

February 13, 2023 By Mike Rinder 26 Comments

New Era, which seems to have taken on a new role as sort of the "continental org" for Europe trying to sell scientology to new public, held a "Dissemination Webinar" and we were sent some screen shots from an attendee that provide some interesting insights.     The lineup was a "who's who" of scientology FSM hucksters. Arte Maren, Rafferty Pendery, Michael Chan, Andrea D'Agostini, Pier Paderni.   Here is the "good news" (featuring not recently seen nor heard from Joy Villa) -- with the typically vague "hundreds of thousands of people introduced to … [Read more...]

  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...]
