Keep up the good work.

A.

I left in 1982. I provide historical footnotes. I’m becoming a dinosaur. Not everyone was gullible. The mysterious OT levels were hidden and unknown and you could still be free thinker. Us baby boomers get a bad rap.

The staff in my (former) little org were, and surely still are, at heart, good, well intentioned, helpful people but the bottom line is they are members of a criminal organization, enablers of a major criminal and, as such, criminals themselves. Knowing or unknowing, that’s what they are. Give them their due; possibly with the best of intentions then, possibly with the best of intentions now – they’re criminals, as yet unapprehended, not to be trusted.

Mark that is funny AF and so true!

I’m sure he’s a nice guy…as most scientologists and exes are. Most SO joined up with their hearts in the right place…hoping to help but then they end up getting those hearts turned into stone and doing the ‘tone 40’ pose like Mark calls it. But this poor guy looks like he needs about a week of good hard sleep. The SO anymore just look ragged and sleep deprived.

Yep I remember. Lots of gullible boomers getting fleeced by Hubtard. Until 99.9% of them grew up. That was the end of Scamology really. Having no exchangeable product the end was always assured.

He’s actually a nice guy. I’ve met him.

It appears that for the small and failing orgs left that remain to get an “ideal” facility, Miscavige is probably using international management funds to finish the job once other fundraising is exhausted, so that he can keep up a pace of yanking several ribbons a year. I believe that even early on, the IAS was credited with subsidizing some of the “ideal” org buildings.

I’ve never seen solid confirmation of just what the ownership and rent arrangements for the new facilities are – if I recall, someone looking at records found at least one case of what seemed to look like local orgs that still owned the buildings. But I’m guessing that they wouldn’t be getting much in rent given the failing finances of most of the orgs, and likely are increasingly having to forgive that and other “uplines” payments due in order to keep the orgs open, which have long been used to suck all the money out of them anyway.

It’s indeed an exploitative mess, but it’s almost certainly not even working out as a lucrative venture for Miscavige. As comports with my knowledge of real estate investments and finances, and also according to John P. Capitalist’s analyses, the “ideal” org debacle is really burning through money and destroying wealth, with unnecessary projects that are wasteful and badly mis-managed. But Miscavige is keeping up his image with the faithful, and keeping the IRS off his back.

Yes George, Hubtard was better at covering up the scam than DM. But, that’s hardly something to crow about…

Robert, barring something unforeseen those billions will stay in the off shore accounts to be used by DM to buy some small island where the CoS HQ (his retirement home) will be built.
