Another Ideal Org Taking The World By Storm

January 31, 2021 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

As a companion to the post yesterday about Sydney "ideal" org comes this from Perth. Since the beginning of civilization (which according to Hubbard begins with the release of Dianetics -- hence 2020 is really "AD 70") Perth has been a lonely and pathetic outpost in the scientology world. Nothing much has ever happened there with the exception of buying a new building. And literally, that was it. They got new premises out in the sticks and it has stayed as moribund as it had been for the previous 40 or 50 years. They are not even up to thinking about "going SH Size." They are stoked by … [Read more...]

Someone Came In!

December 6, 2020 By Mike Rinder 26 Comments

  This is a recent announcement from the "ideal" org in Perth. You may recall, there was a lot of hype about this ideal org (as there is for all of them) "Clearing their zone" and that zone INCLUDED INDONESIA! As there is no org in Indonesia, or anywhere in SE Asia, Perth announced they were going to take on that responsibility. Indonesia is about 1800 miles from Perth. And it has a population of almost 270 million (more than 10 times Australia at 25 million and 1000 times Western Australia at 2.5 million). And yet, more than 2 years after Dear Leader private-jetted all the way … [Read more...]

ANZO is Booming — Just Not Australia or New Zealand (or Oceania)

April 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

OK, this is an interesting piece that gives the relative activity in the "continent." Scientology calls this "ANZO" which stands for Australia, New Zealand and Oceania. In Australia there are "ideal" orgs at the AO, and in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. In New Zealand there is an "ideal" org in Auckland. There is nothing in "Oceania". There are two other orgs in the "continental area": Taiwan and Japan. That is it for the entirety of Asia and the Indian SubContinent. Note how many Taiwanese and Japanese flags and names are on this list compared to Australia and New Zealand.  There are … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

March 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 52 Comments

  There were no Funnies last week, so some of these are holdovers and thus slightly dated.   Celebrate Verbosity If number of words was the measure of a man, I saw homeless guy who talks to himself constantly on Hollywood Blvd -- his output must be in the hundreds of millions of words/ A new Messiah?   Perth? They've got about a dozen scientologists in the whole state of Western Australia (and they are responsible for Indonesia too remember...) Grand delusion. BTW, the Ron's Journal they quote from is 1974. Nearly 50 years ago now...   This is … [Read more...]

All of them missed the memo about not smiling.   Narconon not flourishing They are disappearing from the face of the earth....   We finally made 2 Clears We have to tell the world with a special promotional item because it's such a rare thing...   Like really rare...

Thursday Funnies

January 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 56 Comments

  That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days?   Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]

Grooming the “Next Generation” of “Org Execs”

October 19, 2019 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

This is how scientologists are groomed from an early age. Indoctrination into the Hubbard "study tech" which teaches you that if something he said doesn't make sense, it is simply because there is a word or symbol you have not understood. According to Valentina Smith, these are the "next generation of org execs". Valentina is one of the Admins on the "Scientology - Perth" Facebook group (where this was posted). As I recall, she is one of the lonely staff of the Perth "ideal org", though I may be mistaken. Scientology increasingly relies on second and third generations to be their "new … [Read more...]

Ideal Org Desperation

June 5, 2018 By Mike Rinder 75 Comments

More proof that the ideal org program has devolved into desperate insanity. This is a NEW piece from Perth Org. Apparently, this ideal org, that Miscavige yanked his ribbon on a month ago now, was incapable of getting their filing done before moving into their $20 million dollar building. And still hasn't managed it to this day! Remember how this went on for months and months -- just look back at the Thursday Funnies. The begging and cajoling to try to get their backlogged filing done was legendary. Like every other "ideal" org. That an organization cannot muster enough manpower to … [Read more...]

There Is No New Church of Scientology in Perth

May 8, 2018 By Mike Rinder 133 Comments

This is Scientology's headline on their website following David Miscavige's parking lot ribbon yanking: DOWN UNDER’S “CITY OF LIGHTS” WELCOMES NEWEST CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY This is a double lie. First, there is no "new church of scientology" in Perth. There is a new building, but that is not a "new church." It's the same crappy little scientology group that has been there for 50 years and has never amounted to anything. Second, nobody welcomed them, except themselves. Here are a few excerpts of Shermanspeak about the opening: Perth may be far-flung, but the city’s can-do, … [Read more...]

How Many Staff Is Ideal?

January 28, 2018 By Mike Rinder 44 Comments

Well, according to this promo piece, the answer is 200. And after being in business now for more than 50 years, Perth apparently has accumulated 40 staff (though I suspect the 10 pictured are "going to be" on staff and at least 15 of the 30 others are VERY part-time...) But even that is only 1/5th of the complement to be ideal. And they are going to make it "this year." Scientology math at its best: we made it 20% of the way in 50 years. The remaining 80% is going to be done in the next few months. How? Pure intention salted heavily with bs and lies. Perth should be rolling around as … [Read more...]

I implore anyone with an ounce of curiosity to do the same. @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder are pretty fucking amazing and more people need to be informed.
