Ladies and gentlemen, Calgary "org" in all its magnificence. This is the embodiment of the straight up and vertical, epic and monumental expansion scientology is experiencing under the leadership of the Chairman of the Board RTC, Mr. David Miscavige. It's 47X something or other. And greater expansion in the last year than in 50 years combined previously. And here is how that growth manifests itself in the city of Calgary. There are no excuses in Canada. No foreign language barrier. No governmental suppression. No drug cartels roaming the streets. No gangs. Free healthcare. Nice … [Read more...]

It's the Season of Giving -- to us. Hey, I thought it was scientology that was supposed to be changing communities? Dallas? Promoting an OT 1 success story? I guess they don't have any completions on the services they deliver at their "ideal" org? The role of planet earth and why we are here... Nothing like a promise you can't deliver. Wonder what an "Ideal Org" event is? They have been "ideal" since 2003. New status Nothing gets scientologists more excited than a new status. Damn the volunteer work and who might be … [Read more...]
Narconon — It’s “ALL New”
Seriously? They are going to hold a "Ribbon cutting ceremony" for the "new program introduction." I wonder what the "new program" could be? It's one of three things: The new program is off Source as the existing one is "in tech" The new program is on Source and the existing program is "out tech." It's no different -- after all, it's just the Purif, TR's and Objectives and some Life Improvement courses. How do you "revise" these things that are "totally on Source" as was announced earlier? My bet is on number 3. Or perhaps option 4 -- who cares because it doesn't really … [Read more...]
Scientology: The Answers to Every Question Anyone May Have…
This IS what fundamentalist scientologists believe. They are taught NOT to think. And it is the greatest, all-encompassing "thought stopper" in scientology. The perfect fallback when all else fails. If you know a truly dedicated fundamentalist scientologist, you will know that this is the mindset of them all. An absolute certainty that they know the answer to everything in the universe if they study enough L. Ron Hubbard. Within his words are contained "the answers to every question anyone may have about life..." And this is truly everything. You want to know all there is to know … [Read more...]

Be a genius... Avoid handing over anything for something so stupid. ASHO's finest This here is a proud ASHO Duke of the Book Reading Elite. Big News No doubt it will be monumentally epic if it's being announced by the "OT Alliance I/C" Hold the presses... It's even monumentaller than that. Two people are required to give it the gravitas it deserves. So, bring in the PES. Wonder what the org ED is doing on Saturday night? It's not big enough for him/her to make the announcement? In that case, I would give this one a miss... … [Read more...]
Leah Remini, Shelly Miscavige and Tom Cruise
What can Miscavige do to respond to Hurricane Leah? She is blowing his house down and it is a storm that comes on top of severe damage already inflicted on the once apparently impregnable fortress of scientology. It has been building throughout the year -- Going Clear at Sundance got the ball rolling. Followed by the revelations from the PI's tailing his father which thrust scientology back into the headlines. Losing tax exemption in the Netherlands. Tony Ortega's Unbreakable Miss Lovely, a never ending stream of Narconon bad news. And much more. And now Troublemaker has stepped it up … [Read more...]
Swedish Cult Fiction
While scientology is unravelling in the face of Hurricane Leah here in the US, a different storm is raining on scientology's tiny parade in Sweden. My old friend, Mariette Lindstein has written a book. And it is causing quite a stir. Mariette worked at the Int Base for many years (in fact, I brought her and her husband to the Int base to man WDC posts). She was then five years in RTC under Miscavige, and yes, she was another prisoner of the Hole -- even though according to its Founder David Miscavige, no such place has ever existed. Mariette lives in Sweden … [Read more...]
Where’s The Monumental Expansion Dave?
This is a page from the latest edition of Planetary Dissemination News. Once again, it is hard to hide the truth. Partly because those within the scientology bubble often don't even understand what they write. More proof that the lies that are repeated over and over by Miscavige and Co that he has overseen an "era of unprecedented expansion" is a preposterous lie. So, more than half the largest cities in the world do not have an org OR EVEN A MISSION? But, look a little closer, and even this is a lie. This is the list of cities with populations greater … [Read more...]

Flag Scraping The Barrel Somehow this image is just perfect. What assholes. Go scrape up some "unreported" stats so we can "present them to COB" for Maiden Voyage. They must "downstat" so it's time to "get creative." Doing the impossible... And that is "arriving at the org for this briefing." Thinking big! Another gift "from COB" Wow, how generous. Buy me a building and I will have someone buy you a juicer (to squeeze every last drop?) and then say it's from me. It's like the old LRH "beer and cheese party" caper. He didn't pay a … [Read more...]

Epic, Sizzling An ideal org briefing. Wow, wonder if it has ANYTHING to do with handing over money? Valley Hype Seriously? When did the Valley become the center of the universe? And if it IS the center of the universe, why do they only rate Hana-Li? Kinda low rent for a big time center of the universe sort of deal don't you think? Food, glorious food.... It's the only way to get anyone to show up... San Francisco sounds more appetizing than Nashville. If you are weighing your options for Mother's Day, I would go for some crepes … [Read more...]
