  May 9th Reduced to a "special graduation" Back in the day it was a major event held at the Shrine Auditorium   Ideal Scenes and Ideal Orgs It's pretty ideal in the world of scientology. At least in their minds.   Well, isn't that theta He learned how to be "light and gentle" on the PTS/SP Course. Must be a different course than I ever saw.   Still Going Still a "Class VIII" Still a rimless zero     Trying a new angle for some PR points Pretty soon we will be reading that the VM's have "formed a partnership" … [Read more...]

  Things are a bit thin this week -- they must have been all tuckered out from the LRH Birthday bash. But then the new "Birthday Celebration" REPLAY announcements started rolling in. I guess the first time didn't get a big enough response and COB was not amused... We also have some of the usual buffoonery... This is Graduation?   Gosh, no OEC? No Hubbard Management Tech?  How can you expect to be hired by a scientologist? How is it she is no longer the Field Control Secretary at the Mighty Miami Ideal Org?   Kiddie Corner Always makes me … [Read more...]

    Until I was left with only me.... You only think you got rid of all those pesky BTs and Clusters. Until you get to OT 6, then you will discover you are not ONLY you, but a whole lot more BT's and Cluster. Tens of thousands of them. How could you possibly be so wrong?   Not a lot of interest.... It seems people are NOT curious.   Limited Seating They have 2 folding chairs set up. One for Lance. The other is available. It IS limited seating....   The history of freedom... Delivered by those who promise it (for a hefty price) and … [Read more...]

Hall of Fame? An an "extraordinary" briefing on GAK Extension courses. Nothing about actual graduates.   Woohoo! Our files are current.  Or they were last week. They're probably backlogged again already. The most sophisticated administrative system in the universe....   Get Virtually Briefed... By a registrar! Haha   LRH Birthday Celebrated at graduation? Oh dear. What a downgrade.   A Must See Event! Your money will magically disappear....   All Ideal USA Can you imagine how incredible it will be?\ The USA will be … [Read more...]

  The Spirit of Giving... To us.   They found one A single person to say how great Battlefield Earth is. That's worth promoting.   For good? Seriously? Do you know how many NN grads relapse?

  Reign? What a strange choice for a quote... certainly had nothing to do with Thanksgiving. Operating on that old scientology adage: If Ron said it, it must be good/true/appropriate....   Experts on Stress Relief The Jive Asses? These two pics really go together well don't you think?   It's a Mega Event! VERY special guest "Captain" Mike Spurgeon. He's been there forever captaining Canada and has accomplished absolutely nothing. Not even Toronto ideal and they didn't need to buy a building! They probably forgot about him.

  The planet gets a little saner? How is this when the number of new non-Clears is outstripping the number of Clears every day by 220,000 to 1? You are literally in a bubble of unreality.   This is the reason to Clear them? I thought it was because they are aberrated?   Oh, that makes sense... You know that 22 of the 25 largest cities on earth (with populations above 8 million) are in countries that don't even have a single scientology org? This includes China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey and Korea   They finally got one Clear And a … [Read more...]

  Anything to get them in... Magic. Music. Dance lesson. Painting. Desperation to try to get "bodies in the shop."     Featured Attraction? Now it's a "jam session" at a new time   Why I joined staff? It made sense. Gosh -- did they tell you about the hours and the pay? And the futility of it all?   Just guess the answer to this riddle... They would use the same tagline for "Talk Therapy or Torture" -- anything a psych does is torture. Ron tells us so.   Absolutely no fundraising We are done with … [Read more...]

This is the country that never ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which is shameful.

The time has come for elected officials to pass legislation to actually protect our children from senseless gun violence. All of us failed them by letting politics and lobbyist dollars take precedence over safety.

CHILD USA mourns the loss of 19 children and two of their teachers. It is time for all of us to unite so this never happens again. We stand for laws that protect children's safety from violence including common sense gun reform.
