These ideal org promotional pieces are getting crazier and crazier. I wasnt sure there was anywhere to descend to, but this one really goes beyond bizarre. 1.2 million miles flown in honor of ideal orgs? WTF does that mean? Flown by whom? Why? And can you believe those names? It's like Grade School debate team names. Second to none in Chicago? Well, second to Miami and Detroit. Orlando - Bringing the Real Magic (it's quite a trick to be beaten by Puerto Rico, Battle Creek and Long Island.... The next ideal org ballpark completion is on the runway. Ladies and gentlemen, we … [Read more...]
Cheapo Rates
Boy, here is some really good news from Tampa model ideal SH size org. For the paltry sum of $13,750 you can CO-AUDIT your way to Clear (you will also need the new GOAT CCRD after that and they won't give it to you for free, but you will sort of be clear, at least as clear as you can be without having someone else verify you are not clear so you can be sold some more stuff). But Thomas, don't you realize NOBODY is ever "in your area." Nobody lives in that area. It's tourists and people from Tampa eating out at night. Maybe a few people pass within 1/2 mile on their way to Ikea. And if … [Read more...]

Brummie logic If this is true, it argues you should be giving your money for the ideal orgs in Manchester and Leeds too. Oh, that's right, the org in Manchester has cobwebs covering the doorstep and there has never been an org in Leeds (or Sheffield or Liverpool or Burnley or, or, or -- any place that has a football team that has ever been in the BPL should at least have a mission, let alone an org) . More expansion in the last decade than the 50 years previously doesnt seem to apply to the UK. They have not had a new org there in at least 25 years. Member's Only Oh … [Read more...]
We’re Just Getting Started – After 12 Years
David Miscavige made an appearance in the UK over the weekend to help usher in the monumental new era of expansion that is about to begin with the "ideal" CLO UK. You can bet those managers who have raised the UK to such heights will be managing ever so much better from new desks with some fresh carpet. Nothing like some fresh carpet to make someone into a more competent manager. Apparently obsessed with ribbon yanking, the Chairman of the Pompadour (the hair is a straight up and vertical VO5 masterpiece) flitted over to the UK to bask in the glory of all he has accomplished with his "ideal … [Read more...]
The Sad Lies They Tell Themselves
Line after line plucked from the imaginary world of ideal orgs... The first para seems almost normal, and it falls to pieces immediately thereafter. I think the Idea Org strategy is the smartest, most intelligent strategy possible. And the facts that led you to that conclusion are? After 13 years not even half the orgs have achieved this preliminary step to "clearing their area" and not a single "ideal org" has significantly expanded or opened new missions and groups in its zone. Many cannot pay their bills. Most are completely empty. And then there are all the buildings sitting … [Read more...]
The Valley – Still Crazy After All These Years
OK, shred your commendations. Hide you "Humanitarian" cards. Give your special bronze, silver and gold Valley hard hats to the nearest construction site. Send your Infinity Club leather jackets to the Salvation Army. Valley has a NEW status symbol. You don't want to be caught not keep up with the Joneses (Cartwrights?) and have an OLD status symbol do you? Of course not. Those hard hats are so April. And the jackets are positively last year. It's time for you to get yourself a "Legend Pin" which you can proudly display alongside your numerous IAS pins. No self-respecting Valley … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Big Lying
From the scientology.org website, the conclusory statement of the new story about the magnificence of the Bogota ideal org: This is simply a lie. Bold, unapologetic and flatly untrue, this is scientology at its worst. Practicing the oft-quoted Hitler "Big Lie" technique: A big lie is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." (Wikipedia) Let's break down their statement. The … [Read more...]
Another Portland Ideal Org Fail
This is a sad admission of the reality of working in a scientology org. This "ideal Org" ED is feasting on pie in the sky and trying to convince everyone not only how good it tastes, but how wonderfully nutritious it is too. After FORTY YEARS they are no closer to achieving a stable income for staff (which was a KEY criteria of "SH Size" according to L. Ron Hubbard). 40 years on for Steve, and THIRTY TWO YEARS since it was published he is still using the quote about "Speed of expansion is the problem of management..." (because the world is rapidly coming to an end). Wow. If this is … [Read more...]
Hair Raising Fundraising
This is becoming positively absurd. Check out the latest begging letter. The person sending this, Roy Sarkovitch, has been around forever. He was the Flag Flag Rep for many years, and an org "programs chief" in the Flag Bureau. He was a senior international scientology executive. Now reduced to sending out cornball, illiterate emails asking random people to just "give money" for "ideal orgs" -- nothing specific. Just send in some cash The signs of desperation inside the bubble are unmistakable. Date: June 27, 2015 at 7:12:40 AM PDT To: nomorekoolaid@hotmail.com Subject: Fwd: … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Of course, this week is dominated by invitations, orders and pleas for everyone to join in the fun by watching Dear Leader belittle the OT Ambassadors at Maiden Voyage. But in the midst of the frenzy to scrape up the bedraggled few for the MV extravaganza, there were a few other things. Superheroes Well, they like to think they are. Wonder what Marvel thinks of this? We are sooo close to the turning point on this planet We just need a bit more all of your cash. Wonder what planet he is on? Hello Yo Babies!!
