Thursday Funnies
Blow ALL barriers to production! I hope all 6 staff of the Cambridge "ideal" org attend, they could use some increase in competence and eradicating their barriers to production... The First "Ideal" Continent They have some players on the disabled list -- more accurately in the obituary section. Hawaii. Albuquerque. St Louis. Dead as doornails. This is not going to be the first ideal continent ever. Nashiville Artist? I wonder if this is like those Rolix watches they sell for $10 in China. Is Nashiville a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. And who IS Tyller … [Read more...]
Scientology Tax Exemption Panic
It would appear that the statements made in the wake of Going Clear by Alex Gibney have struck a nerve, especially his OpEd piece in the LA Times. David Miscavige has trotted out his second favorite scientology spokespuppet (after Karin Pouw), non-scientologist lawyer Monique Yingling. She strangely appeared to defend the non-practice of "disconnection" on Anderson Cooper, and also came to visit me one time to discuss whether I wanted to speak to my children and other family members. She is sort of a Girl Friday who fills in as an Ethics Officer/IJC and spokesperson when needed. She is … [Read more...]
Flag “Expansion” — More Lies
The wheels have come off the Miscavige Bandwagon. Here are the latest "Good News" reports from Flag, courtesy of Jeff Mintz and his Silicon Valley alter ego Sandy Dodwell. As always, at the bottom I have added these stats to the earlier reports that have been tracked since fairly soon after GAG II was released in November 2013. This forms perhaps the most accurate and complete record of the ACTUAL production of Flag over the last year and a half. One can easily see there is NO expansion. They deliver Super Power and the Running Program now, but those volumes have stayed level … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Basel a Bust They sent out their first promo piece on Monday -- for an event on Saturday: They are already hitting people up for MORE money, even before it's opened. The tiny org in the small city is made "ideal" and meanwhile, the "big org" in the big city, Zurich, goes nowhere. Go figure. Sort of like Malmo and Stockholm. Inglewood and Valley. Nashville and Boston. Oh, The Lies.... Mr. OT Hatting hisself has teamed up with Rafferty Pendery -- though they cannot spell his name right -- son of IAS "Freedom Medal Winner", OSA stooge and general flim-flam man, Rick … [Read more...]
Scientology Fact Verification
David "Let Him Die" Miscavige responded to a recent posting on Tony Ortega's website about Paul Haggis being trolled by a "Time magazine" reporter. Page Six reprinted his response (or at least part of it). Here is the quote attributed to Karin Pouw: ‘As I told [The Hollywood Reporter] and others, no one named Mark Webber works for the Church anywhere much less in Los Angeles. There is no such IP address at the Anthony Building on Fountain Avenue–it does not exist. The entire story is fabricated.’ ‘A quick internet search does find a Mark Webber, a movie curator and writer who lives in … [Read more...]
Valley Really Not Ideal Org
Douglas D. Douglas over at the Underground Bunker, posted an excellent comment and photos this afternoon. It is too good to be possibly lost in the huge number of daily comments that appear on Tony Ortega's blog. Without his permission, I am turning this into a posting here in order to preserve his fine work and to make it easier for everyone to find. Here is his original comment, followed by the photos. Some very sharp observations. Honestly, can anyone other than a hypnotized zombie NOT see the insanity on display here. By their OWN claims, the "Golden Age of Tech II' is going to … [Read more...]
Nashville Paranoia Update
Apparently they freaked out over the posting about Nashville "ideal" org on Saturday. Here is a new shot taken by one of our Special Correspondents today showing a cop stationed in front of the org -- and there was a second one in the parking lot not visible in this frame. Two police officers in the parking lot. They are definitely not there for crowd control on Monday afternoon. Same number of cars in the parking lot today as when I visited on Friday and the VM van has not moved. Perhaps they were there to serve a warrant on someone? Or to make a drug bust? Not likely. More l … [Read more...]
New York Times Bestseller
Just a quick post to mention a significant byproduct of Going Clear. Everyone who buys this book gets more understanding of the abuses in the scientology bubble. I would bet that Jeff Hawkins, Marc Headley, Amy Scobee and Marty Rathbun's books are all seeing a spike in sales too. Interesting, if Dianetics were selling at all it would be on this same list. As would all the other Hubbard titles. In the midst of the massive international expansion and more interest in scientology than ever in history, with more hits on their websites blah blah blah, how is it that Dianetics is NOT on the … [Read more...]
Scientology Hubbard Hype
This, as usual, is all hype. Somehow they slide in that LA has been "enjoying record levels of reduced crime" -- as if this had ANYTHING to do with L. Ron Hubbard or the Way to Happiness. There isn't even a WTH campaign being run in LA.... So, next time someone claims crime has been falling in an area "thanks to WTH" you can point to LA where there are "record levels of reduced crime" (whatever that means) WITHOUT the WTH. Everyone knows that city resolutions are handed out like beads at Mardi Gras. If you submit it, you will get a signed proclamation. But the one I wonder about is … [Read more...]
