  OT Phenomena How "OT" is it to visit a friend in a foreign city and forget to bring his address and phone number?? Curing amnesia on the "Whole Track"? Hahaha The OT levels don't cure amnesia after breakfast.   No big surprise If you are flying in from all corners of the world in order to take advantage of the low prices they offer at AO Africa (compared to the other AO's, the prices are not "low"), you probably don't want to be paying airfares for repeat trips. It's a long way to Africa and a lot of money...   It's the final race to the finish … [Read more...]

  Mr. Mickiewicz Going to be calling the COB "Mr. Mickiewicz" from now on....   Infinite Expansion? If he knows how to create infinite expansion, how come there are no orgs in Slovakia or Lithuania?   Contrary Facts Her friend is an OT VII who can't make it go right to pay for OT VIII without selling her gaudy scientology jewelry? So much for those OT's at cause over all life.   The "National Church" This is it -- the "National Church" up there on the "first floor" as it is called in Australia (below it is the "ground floor"). No sign. No … [Read more...]

  Join us lighting the Menorah Why?   It's a holiday party And the part they are not saying: they will be pressuring you to join staff and if you won't do that, hand over cash. It's the scientology way -- "Celebrate Christmas with us, it's a time of giving. You give to us."   This is a lot of stuff... How come ONLY the orgs that are "next to go ideal" seem to put on these endless events? And why does graduation always feature something other than graduates (spoiler: they don't have any)... The "Christmas Open House" is going to feature "LRH stories" … [Read more...]

    Wandering Wick Wore out his welcome in Melbourne. Now in his homeland creating big effects... Yawn. I guess he has been officially put out to pasture. He probably has a medical condition the SO doesn't want to pay for so they sent him back to NZ to take advantage of the free healthcare for citizens.   What does it take? Just some crazy wigs and an LRH quote it seems. Oh, and your money.   Graduation for Human Rights Day? Not enough graduates for a graduation. Not enough dones for an event about Human Rights. I know, let's put them … [Read more...]

  The Chan Man He is going to singlehandedly make Canada ideal, like he has the US (except for those who are still trying...) If this guy is SO powerful, how come all orgs aren't done yet?     The Magic of Chicago? Bringing out the best in your child... Plus Freewinds "goodwill" tour and the Top Gun Chicago Air and Water show. Every one of these is a disguised recruitment event. Trying to get anyone to show up they can pressure into joining staff. Why not start with Marcy Sargeant?   Wick Allcock is still in Melbourne? He HAS been "put out to … [Read more...]

Stories About Ron — More News

May 25, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

Thought you might be interested to see what sort of turnout the ideal org in Melbourne mustered for  Tales from the Crypt night with Wick "Stickyfingers" Allcock. According to Anita Liza, the "audience was captivated"... Anita included some shots of the crowd that assembled... Unfortunately, no shots of the great storyteller himself, but the number of attendees (and their average age) says a lot about the state of the "ideal org" in Melbourne, supposedly one of the "best" ideal orgs. You know, those orgs that immediately "10X" their "expansion" once Dear Leader hisself has yanked … [Read more...]

Stories About Ron — the Back Story

May 21, 2022 By Mike Rinder 19 Comments

A few days ago I did a posting about the fact that Wick Allcock was telling stories about Hubbard in Melbourne: Personal Stories About Ron -- Sort Of   When I did the post, I was reminded by my old friend Karen De La Carriere about an earlier post at Tony Ortega's blog written by Rod Keller Sailing with L. Ron Hubbard In that post, Rod recounted some of the history of Wick, prompted by another promotional piece where he was riffing on Ron in Tampa. I wonder what he said about the "research" for NED for OT's? That Hubbard suffered another heart attack and David Mayo was … [Read more...]

Personal Stories About Ron — Sort Of

May 18, 2022 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

This reminds me of when they put James Byrne out to pasture to tell "personal stories" about the Commodore. All a 50 year SO veteran is good for is an event in Melbourne org? This of course is not likely to generate much revenue, so it tells you how unimportant he is seen to be. If he is in Australia it should at least be being held at AOSHANZO where there are more whales (or at least the Australian version -- James Packer no longer in the mix so the average whale size went down by a factor of 43X...) If he has such good stuff, he should really be doing this at Flag where the real whales … [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)
