OT VIII Is A Scam

October 8, 2022 By Mike Rinder 44 Comments

      How is it that a "New OT VIII," Super Power, 2 time Cause Resurgence Rundown and all 3 L's completions needs an Asthma/Allergy Rundown? Wasn't that cured on Dianetics? Or at least on New Era Dianetics for OT's??? How about a "Havingness Rundown"? (If they keep soaking her for everything anyone can possibly pay for, her "havingness" is going to shot). Or a "Dynamic Sort-Out Assessment"?  Or "Vital Information Rundown?" WTF??? She even says "I thought things were pretty much handled" and so they should have been. She spent in excess of half a million … [Read more...]

10,000 Onto Anything

September 6, 2022 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

For 20 years, they have been pushing the Sisyphean task of getting "10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs." It's all based on the LRH quote cited at the top of the issue below first published in April 2002 (see post giving the full content of the issue that established this goal): Based on this sliver of dubious information supported by not a single fact, the big "10,000 game" began. Way back in 2002 Solo NOTs had been around for 15 years or so, and they had not cracked the halfway mark. By 2014 they had plodded along to 6433: 10,000 on Solo NOTs "Update" To this day, they have … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies on Saturday

August 13, 2022 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

    As I put the podcast announcement on the blog on Thursday, The Funnies took a back seat. Here they are, in all their glory...   6th Anniversary of futility They've brought in 2 NSO professional FSMs to host their Sea Org Org anniversary. Home utterly pathetic.     Applied Scholastics Open House Hosted at LA Org. Though this is a completely "secular" activity. Wink wink.   Good luck with that This program has already had trainees on it for a year and they haven't even sent their people to START!   Class … [Read more...]

Where Did Super Power Come From?

July 4, 2022 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

A cache of documents that recently came into possession of Christi Gordon contain some things I had not previously seen outside the Sea Org. ED 1598 FLAG about the "Humongous Rundown" is one of them. The "Humongous Rundown" was Hubbard's 1978 solution to staff incompetence (it preceded his subsequent "breakthroughs" to solve this problem including False Purpose Rundown, Key to Life and Life Orientation Courses) -- by staff incompetence is meant the fact that staff were incapable of following Ron's orders and policies, or if by doing so things wen5 badly or stats did not climb. The … [Read more...]

The “Glory” of Scientology’s Dead “Enemies”

December 21, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

A couple of days ago, Tony Ortega posted a lengthy "success story" from a woman who had recently completed "Super Power." Of course, it was over-the-top bizarre, but one paragraph stood out: While on the rundown two major SPs (2.5 percent) connected to my dynamics received their bitter end. One died in an unexpected way, and the other got put in a psychiatric hospital by his best friend. This filled me with the glory of justice. I doubt there is a more clear-cut example of the callous disregard for human life into which scientologists are inculcated than this. Many former scientologists, … [Read more...]

The L. Ron Hubbard Hall Money Making Machine

December 30, 2019 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

Scientology is still hard at it, raising money for the completely superfluous auditorium they say they are going to construct next to the Super Power building. And they are sending out new promotional pieces about it at an increasing rate. This is a very recent fundraising letter and there is also a whole magazine devoted to the subject:   This is the cover of the mag...   It is a strain for them to come up with reasons why anyone should be giving money to such a boondoggle. That this is going to be an event hall "large enough to hold every international … [Read more...]

Flag Stats Prove Massive Fail

September 1, 2019 By Mike Rinder 70 Comments

They're boasting about their accomplishments again -- and their boasts are the best evidence of their complete failure.   Super Power and Cause Resurgence A couple of notes at the outset. It seems they have adopted the IAS "successful action" -- to get people to show up for reg events these days you need to offer free meals. Flag, being the Mecca of Technical Perfection and the Friendliest Place on Earth is going one better. Flying in their own chefs "as seen on [sort of] TV" to whip up some pizza and gelato. Should generate massive crowds. I do note they never show any pictures … [Read more...]

    There are some real gems in this one "Dr." Hubbard, the nuclear physicist expounds on his understanding of radiation. Basically, as long as you gulp some vitamins and get some auditing it can't hurt you....   State of the Nation... What to look for? When to act?

News from Within The Bubble

March 21, 2018 By Mike Rinder 102 Comments

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...]

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)
