The Old Guard Generally reflecting the state of scientology, the old guard is pretty much all there is left... Fatten them up before the slaughter... Or: You gotta use some cheese to catch the mouse It's a Mega New Status! Really? Truth in Advertising For once. Really it should say the Brave or the Stupid. Ideal Org -- What do you get? Big old empty rooms that look like sets out of a scientology tech film. An Island of Sanity If you define sanity as a graveyard -- of course nobody ever argues or questions in … [Read more...]
Heber Jentzsch
This is another of the endless lies scientology spins to the world: Subject: Re: Your Contact Form Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 19:03:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian at Scientology Info Center To: xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com Dear Xxx, A while ago you wrote in asking who was the President of Scientology. That is Mr. Rev. Heber Jentzsch. What made you interested? Best regards, Brian Hinojosa Heber Jentzsch has had NO position in scientology since around 2004 when he was first put into the Hole. He has not been sighted in public except to attend his son's funeral after … [Read more...]
Atlanta Ideal Org Ribbon Yanking: The Real Story
Scientology wasted no time putting this photo (and a bunch of others) onto their website. After all, this is the pinnacle of David Miscavige's (and thus scientology's) accomplishment. A "new org" is opened. This of course is not true, it is just a new building for the same old org as they all are. Scientology has not opened an actual new org in the last decade. Not a single one. I think Kaohsuing in Taiwan might have been the last one -- but that was long before the "new building" was opened. This is the big lie scientology tells its sheeple and the world. Their new … [Read more...]
Disaster Fundraising: Brussels Edition
It's as inevitable as day following night. A pitch for money from scientology following a disaster. Hand one of these WTH booklets to the next terrorist you meet and calm will prevail. And of course, we don't have any money to do this most vital action -- we need it from you. NOW. This "common-sense" booklet is going to "lift spirits" by telling the people to "Flourish and Prosper." It's just what they need. What planet are these people on? They would make Mel Brooks proud. And as an added thought, I guess they don't know Belgium has its own flag? Or that the Dutch flag … [Read more...]
Atlanta Ribbon Yanking Panic
They are terrified they won't have enough people to put in the shots of Dear Leader yanking the ribbon in Atlanta. Even though the call has gone out to every org in the US that they had better show up, they are making sure there will be "bodies in the shop" by shipping "OT Ambassadors" from Flag. This is a luxury trip -- driving through the night from midnight til 9am to get them there in time for the video shoot. Smile for the cameras. Stand around for a few hours. Tour the empty building. Then leave again at 5pm and arrive back after midnite. Not anyone's idea of an all expenses paid … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
The Drug War
Well, as I am enjoying the good life in Colorado, this seemed appropriate. The best summation of these sort of announcements is "These guys must be high." There are cannabis stores everywhere now in Colorado. And the world keeps turning. Haven't seen any apparent negative effects on the people or society at all. But if you ask anyone who lives here (especially ones with children) they will tell you how much of a boon it is to life in Colorado. The tax revenues have made Colorado schools some of the best in the nation with better teacher/student ratios, more equipment like computers, … [Read more...]
Ruthless: How Will David Miscavige Respond?
Now that Ron Miscavige's book has been announced, I am offering some predictions on how his son will respond. This is based on past experience and reading Martha Stoutt's The Sociopath Next Door. David Miscavige fits the personality traits profiled in that book as if it were written exclusively about him. More than likely, the responses will come from "Karin Pouw," "Freedom" magazine or lawyers, even though dictated by Dave. He doesn't like to soil his image by commenting on things that are beneath his lofty station in life like a book by his father. But regardless of whom utters the v … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Freedom of Speech: Out of Both Sides of its Mouth
"Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Scientology is fast to claim protection under the First Amendment to the US Constitution -- when it serves their purpose. Either to avoid responsibility for their actions or to try and claim some PR points as "champions of human rights." (See Freedom magazine as Exhibit 1) Yet they are not so quick to a … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Still crazy after all these years SO #1 letters as inspiration? Even in this day and age? Wow... Tampa Org is "out of PT" Can you imagine the model ideal SH size org is not in PT and needs to do the SRD? Says a lot for the state of the non-model, non-ideal, non-SH sized orgs everywhere else. Our birthday gift: Planetary Dissemination a reality! Yessirreee... Does this person REALLY think that everyone hasn't yet figured out that this whole set up is being paid for by Miscavige as a pet-project boondoggle to use up some of that cash he has been … [Read more...]
