OK, the bizarre just keeps getting more bizarre. This Email came in over the weekend from Plymouth Org. In the time honored tradition of Ideal Orgs/Super Power, they first announced they were buying the building in late 2009 and that it would be opened by May 2010. Then announced it was actually purchased in June 2010 and in December 2011 had still not submitted any PLANS to do the renovations. Apparently still nothing happening as they are holding a "raffle" for the "Ideal Org." Now they are holding raffles -- actually paying raffle … [Read more...]
Hmmm… Maybe This Alliance Thing Isn't Working Out?
Remember the earlier post about the "Flag Alliance" to raise money for all the orgs in the "Southeast US" (all 4 of them) to "go Ideal"? An Ideal Org IQ Test Well, the most "powerful OT Committee in the world", with 253 members at last count (not much of a percentage out of the claimed 10,000 Scientologists in the Tampa Bay area or 2 1/2%) is having a tough time getting people to confirm attendance. With this "Command Intention" -- in fact the MOST IMPORTANT program according to "Chairman of the Bored", David Miscavige … [Read more...]
The BS Beat Goes On — Portland. Seriously?
More utter bs from the Ideal Org Hype Machine. It is interesting to see how they position things. Using a random LRH quote -- which either comes from RJ 28 or an SO #1 letter. Clearly some words of expressed support, like "I am counting on you to make Portland the first Scientology city." This is now turned into a declarative statement that THIS is what LRH wanted. (If so, why in 30 years hasn't anything been done to make it happen). Portland is also, of course, the "home" of "our" Religious Freedom Crusade... Yes, it also the home of the Mission that "serviced" Julie Christofferson t … [Read more...]
Buffalo – The Hits Just Keep On Keeping On
Consistent with our theme over the past couple of days, here is a video from the Executive Director of Buffalo Org about how their "BUDGET IS APPROVED" for their Non-Existence Campaign -- all they need is the money (which is where you come in!). One thing consistent with all these pleas for money: THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO SHAME. They will announce to the world the most embarrassing things in order to try and get money. How amazingly embarrassing is it to be the first "Ideal Org", now with two Grand Openings, and to be telling your public "we don't have any money to get out of NonE"? I don't know … [Read more...]
Toronto — Ideal Org Bust
One of the few Scientology orgs in the world that does not need a NEW building to be purchased for the Great Ideal Org Boondoggle is Toronto. This org was purchased in the late 70's pursuant to the LRH BIC (Building Investment Committee) program. Yes, more than 10 years AFTER the launch of David Miscavige's "Ideal Org Strategy" for Planetary Clearing, Toronto, the CONTINENTAL Org for Canada remains unrenovated. Not only not much Planetary Clearing, but it seems not much Canadian Clearing. Or even Toronto Clearing.... So, in desperation, the org with the largest field in Canada (it used to be … [Read more...]
The Hits Just Keep Coming…
Someone had better clamp down on Buffalo and their "NonE Campaign" before they blow everything into public view.... Following yesterday's 10 year old reg selling overpriced "leatherbounds" for the "Non Existence" campaign, here is today's confession of insanity from the original "Ideal Org" and source of the infamous "Buffalo Pattern." They announce loud and proud the Fully Automated Robot TV (FART) Div 6 "strategy" of David Miscavige. All you have to do is push a button and they will cognite. OMG! For anyone who has read even the first few policies from Volume 6 this is tantamount to taking … [Read more...]
Ideal Orgs — You Didn't Think You Were Done Giving Us Your Money Did You?
Yesterday's post about Flag now sucking money out of the nearly lifeless bodies of its public for the "Southeast Ideal Orgs" engendered a lot of email, comments and another promo piece from a local Special Correspondent. While there were mentions of other "Ideal Org Alliances" -- this one takes the cake. It's a whole COUNTRY and more! Spearheading into the Great White North out of the hotspot of Scientology in Canada -- Cambridge (formerly Kitchener) -- this "All Hands" fundraising drive for a "Clear Canada" (the new euphemism for "All Orgs Ideal") is in full swing... Just a couple of points … [Read more...]
Dispatch from Berlin "Ideal" Org
Chris, Berlin Special Correspondent just chimed in with two VERY relevant and important comments concerning the state of the Berlin “Ideal Org” and how Gold goes about shooting videos based on his personal experience in Berlin. The information seemed too important not to be made more broadly know with its own Posting. Thanks Chris -- we look forward to more excellent, factual information from you. Mike Rinder Berlin Ideal Org I´ve been a staff in Berlin at the time of the opening of the “Ideal” (idealized) Org in 2007 and left the Church last year, in the meantime SP-declared. The numbers of Jo … [Read more...]
New York – Another Empty "Ideal" Org
In keeping with the Ideal Orgs theme one of our correspondents recently visited NY Org. Last time she was there was 2 years ago. Another of the first “Ideal Orgs” – its been nearly a decade since David Miscavige grandly cut the ribbon and promised a new era for Scientology in NY. It should be bustling, there is more traffic within 200 feet of its front door than any org on earth. Correspondent's Report The last time I walked in – pretending to be raw public - was about 2 years ago. At that time, the receptionist was very cold and wanted to know why I was there. The reception area isn't really … [Read more...]
Johannesburg "Ideal" Org — Truth Revealed
I have written a number of articles concerning the Miscavige “Ideal Orgs” scam. I have compared it to policy and shown it is squirrel. I have pointed out how it has destroyed the LRH Birthday Game and the idea of staff moving up to OT. But this write up puts everything into perspective. Strip away the hype and hoopla, the lies and false promises and this story tells of reality. This is not just ANY “Ideal Org” it is one of the first 3 in the world. And arguably the one Miscavige was most proud of and made the biggest deal about. It was also arguably correct to move the org at that time. The old … [Read more...]
