I came across this the other day. It is a High Winds magazine from 1995. High Winds is the "magazine of the Sea Org" and only a few were ever published, usually to commemorate "Sea Org Day". This is the edition where Captain Miscavige (he now considers referring to him this way to be improper/derisive and had his lawyers complain about it in court -- because it indicates he is the capo of the SO and he fears this being used in litigation to hold him responsible for the things he is actually responsible for...) announces the "requirements for the release of new OT IX and X", Of course, … [Read more...]
Get ‘Em Young
I came across this Sea Org promotional piece from 1999. It was a time when there had not been the extensive exposure of abuses of children in scientology. And thus it reflects the true attitude of scientology -- not the carefully worded utterances that are put forth these days (scientology.org is the epitome of scientology propaganda and it is the lead for most public statements now). Here we witness the unvarnished (well, at least less varnished) side of how scientology views children. Education outside scientology is not valued. In fact Hubbard derided it often -- especially higher … [Read more...]
The Brainwashing Is Strong
Not much need be said about this, it really does speak for itself. She no doubt believes they are "Clearing Los Angeles" and it is a sad reflection of the mindless belief that is the hallmark of scientologists. And, on top of that, she has the inculcated "tech" of Tone 40 that she has been told is her right as a member of the Sea Organization. Thus, she can order lesser beings about, and use exclamation points as if they were cracks of the whip compelling compliance. Her "OT Universe" is the fantasy land of Alice in Wonderland -- or perhaps more accurately the dystopian world of … [Read more...]
Scientology’s “Massive International Expansion” Under Captain David Miscavige — Lies Exposed
Jeffrey Augustine posted the document below on his wonderful site The Scientology Money Project which is an invaluable source of amazing information. He included it with a video of scientology's grand poohbah of mailing lists which in itself is fascinating. But I wanted to make a different point. Captain Miscavige and his crew of loyal sycophants constantly claim that scientology is experiencing its "greatest growth ever" and "more expansion in the last few years than the previous 50 years combined" blah blah blah Everyone outside the bubble knows these are massive lies. But … [Read more...]
Scientology: Children in the Sea Organization
This is a follow up to yesterday's post about scientology promoting for 3 month old infants to get "auditing" and children being put through the grueling Purification Rundown. This is the next step in "get em while they're young." Signing up 10 year olds for the Sea Org. This kid cannot be more than 10 years old... likely younger. And there appear to be 2 Sea Org members standing over him, as he signs his billion year contract. This is not an isolated random incident that happened to be caught on camera. Here you can see this boy and another kid on stage. The “AO … [Read more...]
An Important Survey
Now, this is a deadly serious activity. It is also another of those inadvertently revealing things from inside the bubble that appears out of the ether with more regularity than one would expect. "Sean and Frank" clearly mean business. And this is VERY important. We need to find out what scientologists "think" about a "few things." Well, being a sucker, I took the bait. Here is the first question: Now, what good scientologist would not answer that they have at at least "wanted" to do this at some point? It's like asking "have you ever wanted to have money". It's … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
John Oliver on Scientology It's an ongoing joke that makes me laugh week after week... I honestly think this is enough to fulfill the quota for Thursday Funnies all alone. But people have sent me all sorts of other things so I will include them APU. But if you have not yet seen this, take a few minutes and watch. AC/DC I am SURE they would LOVE to be associated with scientology. Rock N Roll is here to stay Apparently this is the new theme for fundraising? Superheros are out. Rock is in. But if this is all they could round up for an Ideal … [Read more...]
Another Sad OT Fail
There are so many things wrong here it is hard to grasp them all. This woman was in the SO -- the LRH Host on the Freewinds. She had to leave "temporarily" to take care of her dying mother? If she is temporarily taking care of her dying mother then why isn't the Sea Org helping her to stay alive? Hey, Sea Org, what about the quote she is using? "Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble" .... Apparently the SO has completely deserted her. Dying Sea Org members are invariably seen as "out- exchange" distractions to the humanitarians of the Sea Org. And let's not forget, … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Hi, give me your money Just wanted to make sure you knew that is what I am here for. Off the crossroads of the world? That's good? I thought you wanted to clear the world? That's the Freewinds line... Though they spend most of their time tied to a dock. Yep, IMpossible You had it right Not really... You haven't reached .001% of these people in all your years of existence. Where will your name be? Perhaps left off the list like so many others who gave and gave and then were declared. No money back. No name on any … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Really? "The best in the world"? Chan Man He's winning -- by taking your money! Should be interesting My guess -- no impact at all. Anywhere on anything... A field trip? Wow, you can go harass people for fun. Imagine how much "entheta" these people are going to hear knocking on doors of people who haven’t been near an org in years. Your role in Global Dissemination Absolutely nothing... Yuck Get their start on the Bridge... Tell Psychiatrist their time is up! Yeah, except there are MANY … [Read more...]
