Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything. The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country? What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money. The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there... Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why? Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]
Where is the Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?
Hurricane Ian has devastated a huge swath of Florida, a swath that includes Flag and the "ideal" orgs in Tampa and Orlando. Where is the "Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?" There are more scientologists in Clearwater/Tampa Bay than anywhere on earth according to scientology. 14,000 of them if you take them at their word (other times they have said 12,000 or 10,000, it's probably more like 5,000 total staff and public). They even have a dedicated building along the Potemkin Village row on N. Ft Harrison in Clearwater: You know if they WERE doing something, they … [Read more...]
FEMA Beware
Pictured above is a recent Scientology press release... Typical of scientology, they are trying to position themselves once again with the Red Cross, Salvation Army and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). This is a very important thing in the scientology world -- "gaining acceptance" and "creating allies" who legitimize the organization. They hope these people will throw them some bones and recognize them in some way which they will then use when their abuses are exposed. "Look at all our good works, we could not possibly be abusing people. See, we are … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Be kind, be decent... Yeah, the guiding principles of scientology. Not AOSH Africa taking over the world One country that is actually their zone, everywhere else they are poaching other AO's territory! And who the hell is this guy -- he is from Albania? Why is he promoting AOSH Africa and not AOSHEU? Oh boy... Columbus is almost the BEST org in all of EUS? And the real scoop on this Sea Org manned org is that it is a complete morgue -- listen to the podcast Chris Shelton did recently with the SO member who The Aftermath Foundation helped … [Read more...]
Hawking Hubbard’s Baby Formula
Typical scientology. There is a situation in the US with a shortage of infant formula. An opportunity to move in with some Hubbard "tech" -- the "barley formula." I hope nobody falls for this. Hubbard claims it is a formula used by the Romans 2200 years ago -- that "barley sustained the Roman legions" and that this concoction, featuring a liberal dose of Karo syrup (cornstarch syrup) and cow's milk is better than breast milk and commercial baby formula. Here is the page giving the ingredients and method of preparation from the Scientology Handbook. Like much of the … [Read more...]
Making Clearwater A Scientology “Ideal City”
If anyone in the Clearwater community does not believe scientology is determined to own their city, let this be another warning. This woman apparently doesn't have enough to do in Venezuela (everything is going along so well there) so she is in Clearwater delivering seminars (in Spanish ?) "in alignment with our purpose of making Clearwater an ideal city." For those who don't know, "ideal" in scientology means "fully in accordance with the dictates of L. Ron Hubbard." Scientologists are learning and "drilling" to infiltrate the community. They are proud of this effort and want every … [Read more...]
Is Leigh Dundas Pulling a Scam for Scientology?
After the revelation that 2 OT 7 scientologists were arrested for their participation in the June 6 insurrection, we were sent a video clip reportedly taken (and narrated) by wackjob "human rights attorney" Leigh Dundas (who seems to have returned from hiding out in Mexico following her participation in the January 6th insurrection). She was apparently helping to organize the "People's Convoy" in Adelanto California (not a very glamorous spot for a sendoff I must say). For some reason, a bunch of the people in this video are wearing yellow t-shirts... A coincidence? I doubt it. I suspect … [Read more...]
Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies
We bring back one of our favorites this week, the wonderful Stefani Hutchison. Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work Stefani has done, investigating the claims made by scientology and their front groups. You can find the stories on her blog, and I am also listing them here. It is pretty conclusive evidence that when scientology claims they are "working with the Red Cross" or had a "partnership with..." or "they handed … [Read more...]
VM’s Swing Into Action
Once again, the "largest private relief force on earth" has swung into fundraising and photo op action following the deadly tornados in Kentucky. As you can see, the ideal orgs in Nashville, Cincinnati (actually located across the river in Kentucky) and Columbus poured thousands, hundreds, tens of a few people into the relief effort a week or so after the event. They never said they are fast, just the biggest. Actually, the ideal orgs in the region, despite having yellow vans, are not the ones coordinating the effort, it's being handled out of Los … [Read more...]
Become The Best
A new promo piece presents some interesting questions. Scientology is now trying to sell their ads as events that people need to see. This new 3 minute ad for training is a mixture of cartoon characters and real life actors with a twangy soundtrack. As with most of the centrally produced scientology video offerings, it has high production values. It's corny, but well produced corny. What is most interesting about it is the approach they are taking to try to persuade people to train as auditors. It is not to actually AUDIT people up the Bridge. It is to use the training to become a … [Read more...]
