Pleaaaaaasssseeeee.... We have to get "Under $8 million"... This has to be the single most intensely focused and persistent fundraising campaign in scientology history. In the home of the largest population of scientologists on earth. Supported by Bart Simpson's cash matching everything they can scrape together, and STILL they cannot make a dent -- they have MORE THAN $8 MILLION to raise before they even start "renovating" their white elephant. It is a sorry indictment of: a. The continuously and relentlessly flogged dead horses that are the LA scientology field b. The … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The "new" Purif. Firstly, there is the MEST. There is no "secondly".... $14 Million later -- this is Orange County "Ideal Org" Looks like they can't afford to keep the lights on.... What a forlorn looking place. And how appropriate -- fundraising for the celebration of the anniversary of the OC idle morgue opening. The sun never sets on Scientology fundraising.... Hello there! I'm writing to you as the fundraising IC for the OC Anniversary party! Did you know that every year the OT … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Surrounded by Suppression Another must miss event. Daphna really has a bee in her bonnet about all the "suppression" that is around. Maybe she has a computer and googled scientology? Those SPs are everywhere, just waiting to pounce! Again, why is an Advanced Org resorting to promoting a seminar delivered by an FSM? Where is Julian Shwartz? Isn't he the expert on handling suppression at AOLA? Arise Sir Knight Yes, that is John Danilovich, Captain AOSHUK waving a sword. Apparently the latest status in the UK is to kneel before John who touches the sword to your shoulders and … [Read more...]
A Clear Portland
The ideal "ideal" org in the "first Clear city" is going to town on "clearing their city." 12 Clears in 9 months. 15 per year. Should have Portland wrapped up in the year 42,014. But frankly, they have probably produced more clears than any of the other "ideal" orgs. I would bet that there are "ideal" orgs out there that have not produced a SINGLE clear since GAG II. In fact, I would be it was the VAST majority of "ideal orgs".... Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought these two magnificent breakthroughs (GAG II and ideal orgs) were "making planetary clearing a reality"? Even if ALL … [Read more...]
Why Ideal Orgs?
Any time there is a post about ideal org failures, there is a lot of speculation about "Why?" I have written various posts and comments about this from time to time, but realized I had never put it all in one place. There are two reasons for the ideal org program that go hand in hand. And it explains why, in spite of the clear failure of this program to bring about planetary clearing, or anything at all aligned with the "Aims of Scientology," it will continue to be pushed until the very end. 1. It is vital for Miscavige to hold onto his position 2. IRS concerns But before … [Read more...]
More Ideal Org Fails
Following up on the recent post about Orlando some Special Correspondents sent in some information about other "ideal orgs" which I thought I would share. Boston The Boston Org has now had to move out of the building they have occupied for decades and into rented facilities because in typical "ideal org style" they completely screwed up their planning. A lot of money was spent to renovate the "old" org building and it was one of the nicest scientology orgs on earth location and building wise (not counting the marble palaces of late). Then the "ideal org" madness set in. To make a l … [Read more...]
Orlando Magic
No wonder the "ideal org" in Orlando never gets mentioned even though it is BY FAR the closest org to Flag and Tampa -- both of whom are busily trying to raise funds for Miami and Atlanta. This is Orlando's "ideal org" website, last updated sometime in 2011, though they seem to have an automatic counter that adds a day from "Ideal Orgs Seminar 2011." They got a "building approved" -- hooray for us! An instant "ideal org" -- plucked right out of a hat. Amazing. It truly represents Miscavige's ideal org tag-line "just add water and mix." It looks … [Read more...]
Flag and Tampa OTC Minutes
The leak plugging efforts just don't seem to be working. They even have a full time person in OSA Flag assigned to get to the bottom of this situation. But the OTC Minutes just keep rolling in. And though they have taken out a lot of embarrassing statistical specifics, they still have what should be embarrassing details (I think most of these people are oblivious to how ridiculous they are). Part of the problem is that they can turn ANYTHING into good news and "huge impact" so they THINK they are relaying good news. The delusion is a sight to behold. They remind me of the proverbial fleas … [Read more...]
Money, Power, Servitude
This new book is a must read for anyone interested in scientology and what goes on inside the church. Peter Bonyai recounts his experiences from the day he first walked into a mission in Pecs, Hungary through his life in the Sea Org and ultimately to his departure 10 years later. I helped Peter by editing the english translation (he wrote it in his native tongue and translated it himself). I found the book fascinating and compelling. Peter has a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing ability to analyze both the insanity of what he experienced and his internal responses and thoughts, … [Read more...]
Blowing Smoke Up Valley’s Ass
Oh, the "impacting force" of it all... This document, though Quinn the Eskimo apparently doesn't realize it, is a scathing indictment of the scam that is the "ideal org" program. The building was purchased in April 2009. That is more than 5 years ago. Yet this is the highest priority, most urgent thing in the world of scientology. This is, according to Quinn, one of the most important "ideal" orgs on earth, just a couple of miles down the freeway from CSI, ASI, CC, PAC Bridge and Bridge Publications. This urgent, highest priority program that is so important to clearing earth, just … [Read more...]
