More Panic in Los Angeles

October 16, 2022 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

This is clearly part of the internal propaganda campaign that Miscavige is implementing to try to paper over the large cracks in the PR dam for the scientology public. The bad news is rolling in day-by-day, especially in LA. So, time to send out the SuMP team and film "massive dissemination" happening at "Dodger Station." That they have to beg for people to show up so that their activities can be filmed is VERY telling. That their message is now "We're here" -- as in, "Not YET gone" is pretty telling also. The walls are closing in on scientology. Winter is coming. … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

  Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific.   First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal...   Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not   Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [Read more...]

LA Org — The “Model” Ideal Org

January 15, 2022 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

This is the model ideal org that all orgs are supposed to follow... The one manned entirely by Sea Org members (which is NOT able to be duplicated by Class V orgs anywhere else). This says a lot about the state of this org. They need to ROUND UP and CALL IN people in order to have 30 people in the shots.... They don't have 30 people in the org already? They have to call in actors? What is up with that? … [Read more...]

WISE Shilling Again

December 12, 2015 By Mike Rinder 161 Comments

Here is that "secular" WISE "non-church" organization doing what they do best. Trying to sucker money out of people for scientology stuff. Funny, they announced this "SMP" was going to completed and opened in the summer time. Still not done. Not because of lack of money -- it was one of those projects that was a Miscavige folly that was always going to be paid for by scientology funds. Almost certainly there is a typical Miscavige story behind the facade -- he has been threatening to "close down" Gold for decades. Whenever he is pissed off about something he tells Gold "I am … [Read more...]

The SUMP

July 28, 2015 By Mike Rinder 105 Comments

After a quick venture into the world of Hubbard Envoy Extraordinaires yesterday, today we turn to another of the great fairytales of planetary clearing. This one is a bit different as it has been moving forward WITHOUT the need for all money to be raised from suckers donors first.  Miscavige decided to go ahead with this boondoggle as part of his tireless efforts to show the world how fast his empire is expanding, and as an afterthought it became yet another fundraising gimmick. As if they needed another one. In reality, only the L. Ron Hubbard Hall is less necessary than this white … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
