Oh no, they've done it again. In their proud tradition of crowing about their amazing accomplishments, they have once again shown to the world how small they really are. Super Power was released in November 2013. Four and a half years ago. Super Power had been being hyped since 1978 when L. Ron Hubbard hisself said that it would be "available in 6 weeks"... at all St Hill organizations. Super Power was touted as THE thing that would make "planetary clearing a reality" (like everything before it, from New Era Dianetics to OT III to NOTs to KTL etc etc). But this was really GRAND … [Read more...]
Super Power “Success”
This "success story" looks like it might have been written by Dan Sherman. 5 paragraphs of words that mean nothing with no conclusion. SUPER POWER COMPLETION OT VIII FREEDOM MEDAL WINNER California, USA T I M B O W L E S on the Confront and Cause RD of Super Power… At this instant, well over seven billion people are striving to survive on this small planet. At this very moment, newborns take their first breath over the span of Earth while elders sense their last upcoming. As I write, there are billions crying, laughing, … [Read more...]
Super Powering
More interesting factoids from the mouths of babes. Today we are blessed with the magnificent news on Super Power. The Super Power building opened, and delivery of Super Power began in Nov 2013. Nearly 4 years to rack up some significant accomplishments. Remember the HEAVY demand that all scientologists had to do Super Power -- the number who have actually completed in this time is a pretty good measure of how many truly dedicated paying scientologists there are on earth. 4,000 total. They have scraped up 1,000 per year or 20 per week in the last 4 years. Recall too, this building … [Read more...]
Jeff Mintz – Back from the Dead?
Remember Jeff Mintz? He used to send around those "Good News" briefings giving the stats of Flag. I kept a running tally of them and graphed the weeks he reported (on weeks where the stats were not so good - in his view - there was no "good News Briefing" which was about 60% of the time). We haven't seen any "Good News" now since June. I guess one of two things happened. Or maybe both. The stats have been atrocious for 4 months -- they ran out of suckers to redo the Purif and Objectives, they got all the high rollers to do Super Power and nobody else can afford it or has any … [Read more...]
Buy Your Super Power NOW – in 1978
Here is a blast from the past. This appeared in The Auditor issue 155. Published in 1978. Sign up for your Super Power at ASHO! This is when L. Ron Hubbard announced that Super Power would be available at Saint Hills "within 6 weeks." Of course, Ron said it, so it must be true. And ASHO got the jump on making a few extra bucks and started selling it. Can you imagine if you paid ASHO in 1978 for Super Power and then had to wait for it to be delivered in 2013? If you were 40 when you paid for it, you more than likely died before it was delivered. This is typical of … [Read more...]
The Real State of Flag and LA Orgs
People send me information routinely on their visits to orgs, and I happened to get several recently from people who were in LA and also at Flag. I accumulate these because individually each one is not worth a whole post, but when there are a few they tell a story. In this case, apparently the rudderless ship is all but abandoned. And it is interesting how the stories from different people in different orgs are all pretty much the same. And align so well with the information being imparted on the "Oh No Ross and Carrie" podcasts about their investigation of scientology at Los Angeles org … [Read more...]
Super Hyper Power
These emails get stranger and stranger. Don't these people ever notice the contradictions in their statements? Call on me, so that I can help you convert that money into something really valuable and long-lasting... Well, if money is invaluable, then why is it that you are grubbing for it always? And why won't you accept anything OTHER than money before a service is delivered? But that isn't the real point. It is the "success story" that is included that is REALLY bizarre. Talk about unicorns and rainbows. “I had become almost instantly extremely sane and I dare … [Read more...]

Is this a joke? Scientology is going to teach the world how to do PR? And the KKK are going to be holding a seminar on racial tolerance... Arte Maren? Seriously? GO poster child pitching for the Moneywinds? Strange bedfellows. Desperate circumstances call for desperate measures. More "commercial" From the religion that worships money Yes, it's EPIC... Let your imagination run wild as to just how epic this could be. An event in Birmingham, put on by Birmingham... Money, money, money I doubt even the televangelists … [Read more...]

European suckers... I guess they don't have enough suckers in the UK to go build a building for free. So they are asking Europeans to do it... Surely a couple of billion dollars is enough to hire some contractors to pour the foundations for an "ideal St Hill"? Embarrassed much? Do you wonder if any of these people have even the slightest guilty conscience to know that they are being lauded as "humanitarians" or "civilization builders" and they only paid half as much as everyone else? Wonder how they answer the OCA question about seeing something with the … [Read more...]
