The Tampa Bay Times has just put on their website the latest story on human rights and disconnection written by Joe Childs. This is a must read for anyone interested in the subject of Scientology that puts the lie to the church PR that there is no such thing as enforced disconnection. It will appear as the feature story in the Sunday print edition, but went online just as the sheeple were filing into Ruth Eckerd Hall. You should also read the 25 page order from Judge Waldrip in the Monique Rathbun handed down today and now on Tony Ortega's site. Judge Waldrip hoisted the church on its own … [Read more...]
Freedom Medal Winners
Every year, Miscavige bestows IAS Freedom Medals on individuals who have "eradicated psychiatry" or "brought peace" to "entire nations" through their "tireless efforts" to implement LRH tech and distribute the Way to Happiness as a "calming influence" on society. But one only has to look at the real world to see how contrived these "accomplishments" are. In 2005 (coincidentally) he lauded dedicated IAS members for their work in Venezuela and Ukraine. If you glance at the news, you will see both of these nations undergoing massive internal upheaval and civil unrest. Yet, if you go back and l … [Read more...]
Chris Shelton Speaks
Chris Shelton, who has posted here as Galactic Patrol for some time, sent me this article for publication. It provides an interesting perspective on being a staff member and being in the SO. It may not be everyone's view, but it certainly aligns with much of what I experienced. And I think it is a helpful addition to multiple viewpoints that are expressed here in an effort to make all data available to those who are interested. I spent my entire adult life as a professional Scientology staff member. I started taking classes when I was 15 and joined staff at the age of 17. I joined … [Read more...]
Golden Age Of Math –10,000 On Solo NOTs
This is a very strange promo piece. They must be using "Golden Age of Math" to come up with the figures they are using. Places reported at 10X and 5X have no figures that even resemble these multipliers. And the targets are even weirder. They give them an arbitrary "starting figure" plucked out of the sky, as the column alongside gives the number currently auditing/completed. So, if your imaginary starting figure is "5" but you have 16 already on, you need 4 more to "4X" (to 20 total). Sheer idiocy. There are no doubt many false reports in here, I always love to hear from commenters in … [Read more...]
“I Don’t Have To Think” (Apparently Not….)
The three headlines say it all... Not only does this new meter now allow you not to think, it is THE thing that means "now we can really make it" and even more importantly, this meter is the "start of a new civilization." These hype phrases could be part of one of those games. Fill in the missing subject (new Meter/GAT/Basics/Congresses/Ron Series etc etc) and then add the "descriptors" to complete the sentence. They keep using the same statements over and over and they describe anything from attending an event, to reading a book to running around a pole to completing OT VIII. Completely … [Read more...]
The OTC Reports — Things Are Looking Grim
I recently published the Quarterly report for the EUS OT Committees and the stats for the WUS OT Committees. Here are the quarterly reports from the other Conts. I cannot be bothered to read them, but specific areas may be of interest to some. I am publishing them all here so there is a public record as they are enlightening as to the state of the orgs. You will note as with the other areas that there is more reporting on the NON Scientology activities (WISE, WTH, Narconon etc) than on getting people into orgs. Where there are any specifics given on people moving on the bridge they are … [Read more...]
The “Ideal PAC”
The PAC Bridge is getting the big push. No reason really, other than another way of the vultures trying to squeeze money out of the nearly-dead. Apparently they are soon to have "Ideal Sea Org Orgs" -- ASHO and AOLA. But ASHO and AOLA have both had TWO "Grand Openings" already? Both times they were announced as the "perfect organizations, just as LRH intended." So,they are going to do ANOTHER photo op for Dear Leader to spout some Shermanspeak, yank a ribbon and soak in the applause. How feeble is it that the "Ideal Org" program has now become re-renovating ASHO and … [Read more...]
Disastrous EUS OT Committee Report
The recent information from WUS resulted in one of our Special Correspondents forwarding this report about the EUS OT Committees to me. It doesn't have stat grids, but what is lacks in numbers it more than makes up for with hype. Some poor soul compiled this information to forward to "Int Management" (there is no such thing -- there is no WDC. No Exec Strata. No ED Int. No Snr C/S Int. Warren MsShane testified recently that Heber is "President CSI though he is "semi-retired"). Trying to make themselves look as good as humanly possible, this report in a combination of inflated or made up bs … [Read more...]
News And Stats From The Bubble
A couple of recent OTC emails from the PAC area. PAC OTC is focused on fundraising (big surprise) for the "PAC Auditorium" and "Ideal PAC Base" (whatever that is -- "Ideal" has morphed into a new term in the bubble not even trying to pretend it has anything to do with the policy letter on "The Ideal Org" any longer). But this email also includes some stats that are pretty revealing. This is the PAC OTC -- the biggest concentration of Scientologists on earth (they claim in their stats to have 126 active members). And remember, "PAC" consists of "all" the Missions including the winners of t … [Read more...]
Invalidation
Another posting from our Special Correspondent Galactic Patrol. I though it appropriate at this time of the year when we take stock of our lives and are thankful for what we have (and in some cases, for what we no longer have....). To all those who frequent this blog, may you enjoy a wonderful day with those who love you for what you are, not what anyone else says you are.... They are your REAL friends. The two greatest crimes that can be committed with Scientology technology are the two "shuns" - evaluation and invalidation. In numerous references, LRH explicitly details the destructive … [Read more...]
