This is filed under the category unabashed hypocrisy. Also known as the the gospel of the church of scientology. Tony Ortega had this in his Sunday Funnies column, but it was sort of buried among all the other nuttiness that is rounded up each week. It didn't get much comment, but given the level of hypocrisy, I felt it deserved a little more attention. These people are, with a straight face, jumping on a campaign with a catchphrase "one family torn apart by war is too many." How about they get on board a campaign "one family torn apart by scientology is too many"? They could … [Read more...]
JoJo’s Got Fleas And Lice But Doesn’t Give A Damn
The Queen of the Facebook Police has resurfaced after a period of relative obscurity. Someone sent this in and it struck me as amusing. Clearly they DO care about what the fleas and lice say... Which is why she posted this on Facebook... But not to worry as Flourishig and Prospering we are doing a lot of !!! Her afflictions apparently aren't limited to fleas and lice, but she also has the "exclamation tic" and the grammar weevils, You are right JoJo, you should be careful about what you put on the internet. … [Read more...]
Las Vegas Redux Plus Bonus
I had put up an earlier report showing the Las Vegas org parking lot with ONE car taken at 7pm on Saturday. That seemed a bit unfair as orgs shut their doors at 6pm on Saturday apparently and you couldn't expect anyone to be there "after hours" just because they like the place. So, I asked if someone could swing by and take some new shots during the week and during peak production hours. Special Correspondent Mark Fisher obliged and sent in these photos as well as a good write up to put this in perspective. Mark Fisher is an old time management person -- a trained evaluator, in fact he … [Read more...]
Flag “Boom” At The Top Of The Bridge
I have just received my copy of the latest Source magazine, along with the most expensive and wasteful "promo piece" I have ever seen -- but more on that in another post. The Source mag is fodder for a series of posts highlighting some of the most outrageous statements, contradictions and lies. Let's begin with the amazing statistics at the Sandcastle (the Flag AO) where the only boom would appear to be the sound of the waves of truth inexorably consuming it. I realize this is difficult to read, scanning small black print on gold doesn't work out too well. What this says … [Read more...]
Clive Rabey Lets It All Hang Out
Clive's "big release" event over the weekend, with vital news that everyone MUST hear, seems to be encapsulated in his email below. (I haven't received any report concerning attendance -- it was difficult for any Special Correspondent to attend as when you are one of 3 people in the audience even OSA can narrow down who leaked it after 2 guesses). I realized today that Clive reminds me of Mr. Bean, so in his honor, I included a visual to get things off on the right foot. If it's not fun it's not scientology.... The "big news" is that once they reach the 10,000 onto or … [Read more...]

The March 13 Event Was A Total Bust
The "March 13" edition of the International Scientology Nonsense (ISN) has just arrived in mailboxes everywhere. A bit tardy, but one could understand: 146 glossy, 4 color pages of Shermanspeak stream of consciousness is a bit of a task to put together. Though all it does is repeat the contents of the March 13 Event held at the Ruth Eckerd Hall (after 20 years, one would assume that the straight up and vertical expansion would have outgrown Ruth Eckerd Hall that only holds 2300 people...) Of course, reduced to the written page this stuff sounds even stupider than when it is accompanied by … [Read more...]
Mission Impossible
Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if someone did this with the church of scientology? Put together a form to file complaints with different agencies (consumer affairs, justice department) and ran a campaign to get people to file them each month? Would there be more complaints filed about the church of scientology or about psychiatrists? I would put my money on scientology. Maybe Ken Kramer should start a campaign to clean up the field of mental healing in the church of scientology? Now that is a true Mission: Impossible. From: "Linda Mears" <mearsstudio@earthlink.net> Date: May … [Read more...]
It’s “Damagingly Commercial” – LRH
A Special Correspondent sent this to me and it is an interesting study for a couple of reasons. First -- you can see the contempt LRH had for The Auditor being "damagingly commercial" and "putting emphasis on speed through courses." How do you think he would view the current scene in scientology? The statements made in this Auditor are positively pathetic compared to what is said today about the "speed up the Bridge" and with GAT II ESPECIALLY focused on the "speed of training." But even worse, commercialism pervades EVERYTHING in scientology these days -- it is ALL about the m … [Read more...]
The OSA Stooges Latest Footbullet
Take a look at the posting on the African blog here. Clumsy would be a kind description of the buffoonery. These fools make the Three Stooges look like James Bond. Here are my thoughts (because I am featured in their footbullet). 1. The South African blog has become a major headache for the church. They probably have more readers than the church has active members. They don't know what to do about it. 2. So they try to position the blog with the thing the public hates the most. Asking for money. Oh, the irony.... 3. If they really DID send out this idiocy to their public then … [Read more...]
