The Sheeple Are Hyperventilating With Hype

By 65 Comments

sheepleHere is a random selection of recent hype from a variety of sheeple.

What is interesting to note about these people and their comments is how well they duplicate what they are fed. They have been trained to hear and see things from  “authority” and then regurgitate it as if it was their own thought. 

There is not much comment required, but I, as is my wont, have included a few:

Ok…

I just got “refreshed”at The Sandcastle!
I found my very first little taste of “Phase 2” auditing to be amazing and wonderful and FAST and WOW!
I happened to be at the Graduation when we got “the Dates!!”
Which was stunning!!
I got to feel the excitement in the air the whole time I was there!!!
The Future looks SOOOOOO bright!!
Let’s pour the coals on and let me remind you….
This is a FANTASTIC Time to help your friends and family get going on the Bridge and
TOTAL Spiritual Freedom! (you know Basics, Courses, anything!)
It’s a very cool thing to do!
Let me know if I can help you with anyone or anything!!
The Stars Wait!! : ))

If you don’t want to get emails from me let me know!  
Bam!!!
 
Come now Marc. Isnt this just a little over the top?  You practically had an orgasm because you were there when they announced the dates?  After 4 weeks of no announcement and lies I guess that was quite a thrill. But honestly, your standards for what gets you all giddy and excited are not too high…. Bam!!!
 
TOTAL Spiritual Freedom! (you know Basics, courses anything!) So, why would I pay for OT Levels and to be constantly sec checked if I can get this from the Basics? Aren’t you a Reg?

Subject: About to launch

Hello Xxxxx,

We do not know what is about to launch exactly but we do know its the biggest thing ever and it is going to make a huge difference to our expansion on all 8 dynamics and that is very important.

One of the biggest factors in all of this is the creation of Ideal Orgs around the world. Being that the UK is the center of the universe now is the time to make our UK Ideal Orgs a reality in every major city in the UK and there are many many of you out there who are already helping with that.

This is the time to disseminate to all of your comm lines and get them onto The Bridge, get them involved and help them help theirselves.

So while we have come this far, there is still a road ahead for the future generations and that is where the importance of becoming a UK Ideal Org Humanitarian takes on a whole new meaning.

So keep the postulate there and make it happen. I know you want to.

Thanks for listening.

Kind Regards,

Aaron Sheppard
UK Landlord

We do not know what is about to launch exactly but we do know its the biggest thing ever… Maybe the best comedy line in the last month. And Aaron alone has had some doozies.

Thanks for listening.  Reading maybe?

Also like how we can help people help theirselves. The RCS doesnt need Facebook Police, they need Literacy Police.

Subject: THE CAPTAINS ARE BACK!!! B-I-G GRADUATION THIS WEEK!!!!

The release of Golden Age of Tech Phase II is happening in less than 2 weeks!!!!!

GET BRIEFED AT YOUR GRADUATION THIS WEEK!!!

CO CLO WUS, Vicki Shantz
CO CC Int, Dave Pettit
Captain AOLA, Cal Cole
Captain ASHO Day, Jon Lundeen
Captain ASHO Foundation, Rene Norton

ALL of these executives just returned from Flag after 6 weeks and are going to be doing a “Golden Age of Tech Phase II Preparations Briefing” this Friday at 8:30PM at the L. Ron Hubbard Way Graduation!

The Entire Greater LA Area is coming together for this — CC Int, AOLA, Valley, LA Org, ASHO — EVERYONE!

REPLY TO CONFIRM YOU’LL BE THERE TO HEAR THE NEWS!!!!

Typical, the 6 day briefing turned into 6 weeks. No doubt these people literally sat around doing NOTHING waiting for Him to make time in His busy schedule to be able to brief them. Someone then sent Him a “CSW” asking for permission to let them return to their orgs, it was rejected 6 times by His secretarial unit for not adequately acknowledging COB for His brilliance and after it finally got through them it sat on His desk for another 2 weeks and then was sent back to “update it with current information.” Eventually, He asked what suppressive had stopped the ED’s from returning to their orgs when he noticed Rene Norton standing around in the Sandcastle. A full investigation was conducted and some poor fool bit the dust and is on dumpster duty with Ken Krieger and Alex Faust now.

But come to the Graduation and they will “brief” you (as if you didnt know) that GAG II “IS COMING SOON AND IT IS INCREDIBLE.”

Subject: Golden Age of Tech II Event Confirms Game is ON

Dear OTC’er,

The BIGGEST RELEASE in our religion’s history is about to occur. Next week at Flag, Golden Age of Tech Phase II and Super Power will be released.

In Los Angeles we have the following events:

Friday, Nov 8, at 8:30pm on LRH Way: Graduation with the COs of CC, ASHO, AO and CLO WUS. Every LA area org is combining for this graduation for a briefing from all of these executives on what is coming for the GAT Phase II.

Saturday 23 November at the Shrine: Release event for the Golden Age of Tech Phase II

Sunday 24 November at the Shrine: Release event for Super Power and Cause Resurgence Rundowns

The main activity the CCI OTC is doing now is confirming for these events. No one will want to miss these historic events on November 23rd and 24th. Spread the word and send in your confirms!!!

Thanks

Subject: This Week’s OTC Meeting – 7:00 pm – PAC Base

Dear OTC Members:

A CHANGE in time/place for this Friday’s OTC Meeting!

This Friday the CC Execs and CO are asking for our help in lieu of meeting at our normal spot at CCI for our weekly OTC…
They are asking us to come and help make calls and confirm people for the GAT2 event. They really need our help Friday night.
Then there is a PAC graduation where all the CO’s from the each org will be speaking about what’s ahead.

7:00pm – OTC Meeting members huddle at the LA Org FSM area to HELP!
830pm – Attend PAC graduation

Warmly,
Andrea Doven
CC OTC Co-Chair

Oh, now the heat is REALLY on.

Huddle at the LA Org FSM area to HELP! Does this sound desperately pathetic or what?

To sum it all up — everyone needs to come in and watch Miscavige Shoot His Wad.

We don’t know exactly vaguely what it is going to be like, but we DO know it is going to be the greatest event in the history of Scientology, probably because it will be the LAST one.

Anything after this will  be an anti-climactic downstat and COB. Does. Not. Do. Dowanstats. Period.

So, he will just stop doing events at all. He’s committed to New Years wrap up of annus horribilis and he can sleaze a March 13 event by only talking about LRH and Birthday Game winners.

I predict after that if Int Events are held at all, he will parade out some Holees to repeat some Shermanspeak as this will not embarrass Him (everyone can sit in wonder and pine for the days when COB did events with some real showmanship) and it will make it appear there are in fact “other people” running the church and it isnt all just Him.

Hah….

  5. If the UK really is “The center of the universe” why is he using the American spelling of centre rather than the UK one?

    In the UK there are lots of tiny piddly-ass supposedly UK religions that are actually staffed by people from the USA, naively believing that what ‘flies’ in the US will work over here. $camatology, with it’s less-than 2 500 members seems to be just another of those.

  6. Another fucking confidential briefing for the sooper dooper special OLs. That means that they spout opinions and EVERYONE listens to them, or at least that’s their opinion……..wait…….. Perhaps they’ll finally get to know the secret sauce so they can smear it all over each other and make whoopie. I’m a bit disoriented by the dizzying excitement of it all, sorry. I actually got a call from the Pasadena idyllic org to come to an ias event. I already told them gag is a technical degrade and their idyllic org is a waste but they are NOT LISTENING! I even have goldenrod to prove my blasphemy…sigh. I get no respect.

  7. Mike — I know you’ve thought about this and I’m just a lowly outsider who has never even been audited (I try to muddle along somehow) but I’m just asking whether it’s actually a good idea to post the full phone numbers on these idiotic communications. Seems to me that you might be opening a door to a harassment suit or something in the litigious line. If you’ve considered this a thousand time already, feel free to crumple this up and toss it.

    I love your site. I firmly believe that when the elaborate, hollow stage set that is present-day Scientology finally totters and falls and we all find ourselves looking at the little man behind the curtain, you and Tony and Angry Gay Pope and Karen and Marty will deserve a vast amount of the credit.

  8. Remote – “Reading these makes me feel like I do when some chipper cheery person starts talking when I haven’t had my prescribed nicotine and caffeine jolt in the morning.” Made me laugh my ass off! You are a kindred spirit.

  9. Contrary to the claims of some poor, unemployed, bitter defrocked apostates on the very fringe of the internet spewing anti-religious hate and propaganda in a vendetta because they can no longer run with the big dogs in the tall grass:

    Here is the proof that “the UK is the center of the universe”.
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337836/Pilots-passenger-planes-saw-UFOs-Britains-Scientology-base-landed-Gatwick.html

    Furthermore, regarding “Everyone will be bonded prior to the briefing. THIS IS NOT DATA YOU HAVE HEARD”… “DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO MAKE IT TO THIS BRIEFING. IT IS THAT IMPORTANT.”:

    According to some confidential sources, which asked to remain anonymous because they had been bailed, some visitors are coming from the Z8 GND 5296 galaxy.
    http://www.PentagonPost.com/Astronomers-declare-sighting-farthest-galaxy-date/83414275

    Also, according to the confidential sources, there are 2 new Ideal Org Extra-Terrestrial Galactic Statuses awarded to the visitors coming from around the universe: the Ideal Org Extra-Terrestrial Intra-Galactic (Milky Way) Status, and the Ideal Org Extra-Terrestrial Outer-Galactic Status.

    The above confidential data is proof that “becoming a UK Ideal Org Humanitarian takes on a whole new meaning.”

  10. In my view, the church in its present state is in trouble, but DM has plans to keep the scam going nonetheless in a new and easier-to-manage form. He will continue purge the long-term members, and rely increasingly on the younger ones who don’t know how out-tech he really is. The number of people who knew (or even read uncensored) LRH is now miniscule. Once they are in and isolated from the world, he can tell them anything he wants about the tech without much fear that they will know the difference. The church will become smaller and less public, but he really can’t keep up the charade, and financially doesn’t need to. His bank accounts and the money he can get from selling Orgs are enough to keep him in clover for the rest of his life. He doesn’t need all that many slaves to keep it going…a couple thousand would do.

    My prediction (although I’d rather see him dragged away of handcuffs) is that we’ll see a transformation from a worldwide scam into a smaller and more localized one, and DM will remain the cruel ruler of a small but less vulnerable empire.

  18. “…it will make it appear there are in fact “other people” running the church and it isnt all just Him”

    This struck a chord with me Mike as I’ve been wondering if the sudden absence from Graduations etc was a ploy to make it look like a lot of the ‘big’ events & running of various threads of CO$ were shared out. In an attempt to dissuade judges in various current legal disputes that COB ran everything!

  19. These constant emails reflect the constant, over the top, (fake) vigilance that Miscavige requires from everyone (but himself ). Fake or not,such hyper-vigilance is very dangerous to their health. In cults where members are kept locked in year after year by the requirement that they must be hyper-vigilant because their “enemies” are coming, or “victory is near,” people get sick and die. Humans are not programmed for constant “flight or fight” adrenaline production. Combine 24/7 hyper-vigilance with poor nutrition and little sleep, and you have a prescription for disaster. Miscavige robs people of their families, their money, their health, and sometimes their lives. We should rejoice every time Miscavige issues an SP declare, and every time someone successfully escapes, because now they have a chance to survive. I wonder how Miscavige would react to thousands of thank you notes from people he has declared or driven out of the church and who don’t have to be tortured by him any longer. Perhaps a public service announcement on YouTube?

  22. The concept of an “OL” seems strange to me now. For starters- who are they “leading”? The same dwindling group of regulars that still show up at their org? What are they leading them to? I’m at the IAS/Ideal Org fundraiser and I think “Hey, if Bob if donating all his money maybe thats what I should do. After all, Bob is an OL”.

  27. Mike, Thank God for your commentaries

    Each time I read one of these over-the-top emails, the outpoints leap up at me and its very uncomfortable because inwardly I’m screaming, “Jesus Christ, look at this! And, here’s another one, for crying out loud, and OMG is this for real…? ”

    But then I read your comments and invariably I am able to chuckle because the outpoints are spotted and so neatly spoofed, and what you mention someone else on the blog does, so I experience a shared reality on both the absurdity and the pathos of these communications.

    Thank you Mike, and my thanks as well to all who post here for helping to keep me grounded with both facts and laughs..

      BTW ironic that they were worried about one of those “unemployed bitter defrocked apostates on the fringe” at the razz line blowing their TS/SCI “eyes only” covert op (that you have to get bonded for…get real!!!) and having it posted on Mike’s blog here.

      Just too poetic. 🙂

      You think you get one of your operatives to post this super secret briefing for us?

      Reply

  29. It is understandable…the staff is kept in mystery and just ordered to convey such and such a message; consequently their comm is just blah-blah with no understanding at all resulting in disjointed messages, mysteries and even omitting the time when some events will occur, such as the Shrine one.
    It is a robot communicating what someone else told him/her to say. The added urgency is inapplicable.

    • A cursory look at the JS (okay, just the comments, who are we kidding) suggests it’s just a stat *reporting* site, right down to names and amounts from donors and minutes worked on “volunteer” projects. It does hint at what they consider exceptional statistics, e.g. “Well done on getting OVER 10 Ideal Org donations this week”.

    • I should have added a synopsis:

      Stupid people are too stupid to have the capacity to know how stupid they are, and so they think they are smarter than they are.

      It’s unavoidable. We shrink the universe down to a size we are able to understand.

      And when I say “we” I include me.

      It is not a bad thing to admit you don’t know everything. In fact, unless you do, you prove yourself wrong by definition.

      • Isg – Although you are not a fan of Hubbard, he also said the none too bright tend to be self important, which I think accords with what you are saying.

        The thing with stupidity is that is sometimes superior in strength/volume/concentration and in that way overwhelms logic or reason. Genius has its limits, but stupidity knows no boundaries. So true that the only way a person can learn is to first be aware that he does not know all.

    Well, this is all positively riveting! I look forward to the next round of mass declares prior to this final showdown. LA must have some willing candidates. Seek, and ye shall find. Always.

    Sue Frey and Nick Lekas from PAC OTC asked for ALL OTVII’s and VIII’s, no qualifiers added. I’m guessing that means any formerly declareds can go as well.
