Here is some expert advice from WISE that scientology could use. The first line is an eye-opener. Just think of this. Scientology CLAIMS they have a product NOBODY can do without. And they have an absolute monopoly on it. Everything in the business is copyrighted and trademarked to be sure there is no competition. It is not just the cure for all illness, mental AND physical, it is the answer to all problems on earth and in the universe and has the ability to restore you to native state as an "Operating Thetan" capable of creating the entire universe, being in complete control of all matter, … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
There were no Funnies last week, so some of these are holdovers and thus slightly dated. Celebrate Verbosity If number of words was the measure of a man, I saw homeless guy who talks to himself constantly on Hollywood Blvd -- his output must be in the hundreds of millions of words/ A new Messiah? Perth? They've got about a dozen scientologists in the whole state of Western Australia (and they are responsible for Indonesia too remember...) Grand delusion. BTW, the Ron's Journal they quote from is 1974. Nearly 50 years ago now... This is … [Read more...]

That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days? Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Decade
Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year's Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of "Standing O" calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on sentence. At the outset, let's remember that the "turn of the decade/century" event in 1999 was held at the LA Sports Arena -- a FAR larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium. Given the unprecedented, massive, straight up and vertical expansion they claim to have … [Read more...]

An "Extravagaza" On Wednesday night. Should be a big draw. Maybe they can get the Palestinian community to show up in support... Damning with Faint Praise This worth a promo piece? They will feed you... If you just agree to sit through this stuff. It's like one of those Time Share offers or "your cemetery plot awaits, come for a free dinner at Rudy Tuesday's to find out how to secure it." What ideal org alliance? I thought California was done? And does this poster make ANY sense? You could be Olivia Newton-John? Why? How would that … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
A bit delayed due to the news of the shooting in Inglewood Org. The victim/perpetrator must have been a scientologist as Eddie Parkin and the STAAD League have not taken to Twitter to blame The Aftermath for inciting the "hate crime". Their top story is still the Christchurch massacre. Eddie seems to go into hibernation when there are no new episodes of The Aftermath airing (which speaks volumes about the actual reason they exist...) Disaster Response Training In other words, instructions on how to hand out WTH, pick up trash and do nerve assists. What does this … [Read more...]

Distinguished Speakers... Who cannot be named. You can bet this turnout is going to be YUGE. It's Monumental And it's from 10 years ago! And you know what the "next strategy" is that is going to be revealed? We need more of your money. Should be even YUGER... Flag public are going to be being harassed to attend this mercilessly. Some will show up to help keep Ethics and Regges at bay. Still, if they have 200 people it would be a miracle. Your Ideal Scene Well, I can imagine a few them would be thinking "how about … [Read more...]
WISE Guys
There is a lot that could be covered on the topic of WISE -- including how it was created by Hubbard to "get scientology businesses off the backs of orgs" on the basis of his conclusion that orgs were not expanding because staff were moonlighting in scientology businesses and were thus "off purpose" (in fact it was only to be able to earn enough money to live, but Hubbard's answer to that was "make the org make more money and you will get more pay.") WISE today pretends to be something separate from the "Church of Scientology", in fact they state the on the "What Is Scientology?" website: By … [Read more...]
WISE Inc – Not So Wise
WISE is one of the lost step-children of the scientology hierarchy. Out there in left field, the only real value they have had is to pull a couple of dental/chiropractic consultants under their wing and then pump them to get new people using LRH tech and then onto the Bridge to collect FSM Commissions. The CO WISE WUS sends out a constant stream of useless articles about random subjects, and I have not commented on them before. But it suddenly struck me what is wrong with his pitch. Oh so very wrong. First, glance through this latest piece to get a flavor of it for … [Read more...]
WISE Shilling Again
Here is that "secular" WISE "non-church" organization doing what they do best. Trying to sucker money out of people for scientology stuff. Funny, they announced this "SMP" was going to completed and opened in the summer time. Still not done. Not because of lack of money -- it was one of those projects that was a Miscavige folly that was always going to be paid for by scientology funds. Almost certainly there is a typical Miscavige story behind the facade -- he has been threatening to "close down" Gold for decades. Whenever he is pissed off about something he tells Gold "I am … [Read more...]
