How very appropriate Enter the world of Alice in Wonderland. Yes, it's OPEN! Not funny, sad I have not had the opportunity to read the decision. The activities of scientology are NOT beneficial to the public at large. They are only photo ops. AOSH Africa Busting open the bottom of the Bridge I wonder if Joburg or Joburg North or Pretoria (all 3 of them "ideal" orgs) have ANY customers? They don't have certs any more? Just cheesy signs they hold up... In true Chicago style... Half a dozen, tired old people sitting … [Read more...]
The Arte Maren A Thon
You can check out his video here. It's heavy scienospeak -- his birthday is to "celebrate my identity in this body, the name on this body"... And he goes on from there claiming he is going to relate some of his personal experiences with L. Ron Hubbard (not including mentioning I am sure that L. Ron Hubbard considered him and the other people in the GO to be treasonous bastards who had tried to take him down). Credit where it's due though, Arte looks pretty damn good for 80... His event is pretty strange. Just trying to rekindle his glory days with himself as the center of attention it … [Read more...]

Panic in the Bubble
They're panicking inside the scientology bubble over Aaron Smith-Levin running for City Council. See post from yesterday for other indications. This letter was sent to an OT 8 who attended the recent fundraiser in support of Aaron's campaign. It arrived in the mail a few days after they were spotted there. A couple of things in this letter of interest. Wonder why Flag has a PO Box in Tampa as their address? Cara Goloshefksy (the Mike Ellis of Flag) is now Cara Pendery? I didn't even know Rafferty Pendery had a brother…. Apparently he has been in the Sea Org … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Funnies
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. Thank you. No Thank you. No, thank you... But in the end it's only Ron that matters. Eradicate the Reactive Mind I've got a faster, better, cheaper idea. Don't buy into the idea in the first place. In the end, they coax you into believing you created it in the first place. Holiday Escape Rooms? They lock you in a room with a reg and see if you can get out without going bankrupt? Big News You can bet it has something to do with you giving them your money for their holidays. That is always … [Read more...]

Flourish and Prosper? Andres Rodriguez has been in the Sea Org forever. What does he know about flourishing and prospering? It's time for spiritual freedom... And they have a "completion" -- though not an OT level. No doubt she got a bunch of sec checking. The Chan Man is Back.... Not sure he ever went anywhere. You gotta hear his take on "solvent particles" -- it's "Part 2." so tough if you missed part 1. Is this a Chemistry lesson? Or perhaps he is teaching people how to open a cleaning business? The Caped Crusader Dr. … [Read more...]

Thanks to everyone who submits these each week... Financial Security Workshop The irony is that the place will be swarming with more Regges than participants. The last place anyone should go for financial security is into any scientology building. Let alone Big Blue where LA Org, ASHO and AOLA Regges will be hovering. Not to mention IAS, WISE, ABLE, CCHR, WTH etc etc Not much hype The most important beings in the universe don't get the hype that the dudes in the hazmat suits spraying Defcon 9 get. Not even a video! Two water bottles That's the best … [Read more...]
Scientology Running In Circles. Literally
The "Cause Resurgence" Rundown is one of the greatest boondoggles scientology has ever foisted off as a "standard tech" "religious" service. The Running Program, as it was originally called, was used to punish crew at Golden Era who were, in the estimation of Miscavige, performing poorly. "Run around a pole until you get your shit together." The first person to do it was David Mayo, when he had been declared a terrible squirrel. Hubbard ordered him to run around a tree at Gold "until he wore a trench in the ground". He did so for weeks on end until he was physically spent. He escaped … [Read more...]
This is the Freewinds — It’s Always About the Money
What the Freewinds has been reduced to... Hawking virtual seminars with AMAZING (all caps) "new speakers". Though there is not a single new speaker among them? And of course, they are all offering "business" expansion seminars -- they disguise their "learn how to make money" pitches as "expansion." Some talk about "prosperity" and one even explains that you can become the "Master of All Universes." Everything these guys is selling is designed to make it possible for you to pay for scientology. It's expensive. Especially when you get to the highest levels. People need hundreds of … [Read more...]
Let’s Go Virtual OT!
The question you have to ask after reading this breathless promo -- why would anyone pay to go to the Freewinds when you can apparently "Go OT" virtually? The second question -- is there any difference between an OT and a virtual OT? Aren't all OT's "virtual" anyway as the state is entirely subjective -- nobody has ever objectively proven that an OT exists. Hubbard's explanation for that was "we don't do parlor tricks." The only time anyone supposedly set out to verify any OT abilities was Ingo Swann and Hal Puthoff trying to turn it into an intelligence tool for the CIA. Nothing ever came … [Read more...]
