What is so sad about this is that they take themselves seriously. What is the correct estimation of effort to get the job done? The "job" they are referring to is attaining a "Cleared Planet." It's what every scientologist has in their mind as the ultimate objective of their efforts. "Correct estimation of effort" and "Orders of Magnitude" are Hubbard catchphrases that scientologists use routinely. In simple terms, this briefing is purportedly going to explain what they really need to have and do to Clear the Planet. Of course, it would be a momentous thing if anyone in scientology … [Read more...]
The First Clear Country
You heard it here first. The First Clear Country is going to be the United States, according to ASHO. This is the organization that was created SOLELY to deliver the Briefing Course and Power Processing. They haven't had a Briefing Course for 20 years, since Miscavige decided it was "off-Source" (even though the course is almost entirely simply listening to the lectures Hubbard delivered to the Briefing Course students at St Hill in the early 60's) and Power Processing is the MySpace of scientology services. A "thing" in the past, nothing today. So, apparently they have turned their … [Read more...]
Making Planetary Clearing an Unreality
Here's a recent post on Facebook. You know scientology constantly goes on about how they "are Clearing the Planet." The reality of course is something entirely different. Here is a new Clear. His Clear number is 75,906. This is the GRAND TOTAL of all Clears made since 1950 -- or at least since 1966 when they handed out the first Clear bracelet to John McMaster (subsequently declared a Suppressive Person -- far from the magical powers of a "Clear'). 75,000 Clears in 50 or so years is not going to Clear Andorra (more than half of these "Clears" are no longer "Clear" … [Read more...]
Correct Estimation of Effort
This is one of the things scientology is absolutely insane about. They convince themselves they are "clearing the planet," "changing the civilization" and "salvaging earth" because they tell themselves it is so. Yet the truth is they have no measurable impact on anything except the lives of those they come in direct contact with. This "briefing" will of course be a complete joke. Their special message about "International Dissemination" is not going to be anything remotely close to covering what the "correct estimation of effort" is because that would be so unreal and uncomfortable that … [Read more...]

We ARE Clearing the Planet — Proof
Some news from the model ideal org in Los Angeles. Over 880 Clear (or "near Clear") in just the last few years alone. Best case scenario, the "few" years is the minimum it can be which is three. That is a bit less than 300 per year. 6 per week. More likely, the "last few years" is since they went "ideal" in 2010. That is 12 years. About 75 per year or 1.5 per week. Most likely they are counting this from when they became a full Sea Org "model ideal" in October 2014, with 200 imported SO members. That is 7 years. Confirming that is the likely time period, here is their hype … [Read more...]
Saving the World (Clearing the Planet)
Our old friend Brian Lambert is back with some more food for thought... I used to write more frequently for Mike. Those writings were me working out, in myself, the thoughts and doctrines I had accepted into my mind from L Ron Hubbard that were toxic to my mental, emotional and spiritual health. I’ve not written more recently because my previous writings have purged from my mind the subjects that I wrote about. The very idea of the existence of Scientology is gone from my mind 99.99%. No longer is Hubbard and his mad army of diminishing world savers occupying my mind. But this morning … [Read more...]
The Biggest Scientology Boondoggle Of All?
Even in the world of scientology relentless money-grubbing for everything, perhaps the biggest boondoggle ever is the "L. Ron Hubbard Hall." This is a project that is even LESS needed than "ideal" org buildings. Some orgs have resided in shitty premises for decades, so there is some merit in improving their facilities. Though of course not to the extent of moving tiny, failing orgs into 50,000 sq ft buildings in industrial parks replete with custom furniture and carpets. But there is no need whatsoever for an "event facility" dedicated to scientology events. They cannot fill Ruth Eckerd … [Read more...]
Clearing the Planet is Hopelessly Bugged
The claim "we are Clearing our area" or "we are Clearing the planet" is almost a mantra inside the scientology bubble. It seems they believe if they say it often enough, it will make it true. What they are willfully oblivious to is the fact they are doing no such thing. And every measure of this is glaringly obvious. There have been no NEW Class V orgs opened since Taiwan. There are the same number of scientology orgs now as there were in the 80's. The number of missions is shrinking. So too Narconons and all the other front groups. There isn't a single Class V org in … [Read more...]
Planetary Clearing in Reverse
This is a new Clear proudly displaying his "Clear Bracelet" numbered 73,357. Let us assume for arguments sake that there have in fact been 75,000 Clears made. The number is significantly lower, most of the lower numbers are for people who were subsequently declared "Not Clear" and also every org is allocated a certain block of numbers -- there are probably 5,000 numbers out there waiting to be claimed, Salt Lake City gets 71,401 to 71,500 and Atlanta has 71,901 to 72,000 etc etc. But 75,000 is a nice round number that is pretty easy to do the math with. Since 1950 that is a little over … [Read more...]
