Most money definitely comes from Sydney, from the same old faces. Some from Melbourne and there’s a couple of Perth donors who always seem reliable. Not a lot of locals go to the Org, but the lower level courses are way cheaper there than aosh anzo. Heaps of the lower level plebs do events and small fundraising gatherings and do not follow the Scientology social media feeds. Course announcements go out via email usually. Or relentless phone calls. I doubt there were any high level auditors reliably there until recently. Years ago there was a lot of field auditing that went on under Cherie and Wendy. We’ve definitely got our share of OT8s…really quite a few (as far as Scientology math goes). Census numbers are stable but the bitter-enders are not flinching, and they’re moving their kids and grandkids up (across?) the bridge for the most part (lots of dilettantes but seemingly passionate cultural Scientologists).]]></description>

That&#039;s interesting, I heard most of the money from Brissy comes from Sydney. If you Google the Brisbane Building Fund you can find the tax filings. They currently have 5 million.

I was wondering who goes to the Brisbane org, the census is proof that no one is joining.

The org put an ad on Facebook for the efficiency course, most people either asked how it appeared in their feed or trolled them, asking about Shelly.

I assume most scientologists are at the Advanced Org

I&#039;m surprised there are any OT8s in Oz]]></description>

Thanks a lot! Brissy is small for sure but there’s a tonne of low-level Scientologists on the far north coast, especially around Lismore (more hippy dippy and indigenous - all from a few Bundjalung families at Gundarimba) and the granite belt (older Inter generational group) that prop it up. The OT8s in Coffs are there regularly now and 2 OT8s just moved from Sydney to Yamba and are relentless disseminators/fund raisers - both have loads of cash to burn. Almost all money is still coming from Syd/Melbs though. Will head up in a few weekends and check it out. Thanks again.]]></description>

Hi Joe, I have been trying hard for some time to ID the new land plot purchased by the Brisbane Building Fund after they sold the Warry St address. Any idea where it is? 

Also Mike pretty sure Star Serafinya Blessyng from Brissy is out now or at least in trouble for squirrelling.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I live in Brisbane, Australia and have been fascinated by Scientology for ages. I know they&#039;ve been trying to build an Ideal Org in Brisbane. They had a building in mind but luckily were gazumped. I know this because I drove by it and apartments were being built. Apparently they&#039;ve got their eye on another piece of land. The mission in the CBD looks tiny and rundown. I doubt there are many members and hopefully it&#039;s shrinking. Keep up the good fight Mike, I love the podcast.]]></description>

No DANGER Newintenet.  SBCGlobal.net is a domain that was used  by Southwestern Bell before it was bought by another telco YEARS ago.

Nothing nefarious.  Just old, unused domain.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kansas City is the org so reliant on Sea Org staffing that they tried to buy a building for berthing, after they opened their &#039;ideal&#039; facility.  Apparently sea org were also used to staff up Cincinatti for its &#039;opening&#039; as well.  

It seems to be some sort of experiment - probably driven by increasing difficulty recruiting to meet the staff quotas the &quot;ideal&quot; orgs are supposed to have.  Unfortunately we don&#039;t seem to have much in the way of reports of what&#039;s really going on at those orgs, other than that the financial and credit card abuses got so bad and so blatant in Cincinatti, that the longtime ED got sent to the RPF.  

In Austin and Chicago the renovated buildings have been done for a while, and recruiting staff seems to be one of the sticking points delaying their opening. Presumably they&#039;re going to end up having to rely a lot on Sea Org staffing at those orgs, too.]]></description>

Hey Newcomer,
Let&#039;s take pot shots at both scumbags: the current pimping homunculus and the OG sociopath !
I think you make a good point. Nonetheless,for that random lurker whose mind may still occupy the theta anal cavity of Flubtard, posting alternating bits of J&#038;D and hard facts just might loosen the grip of El Con&#039;s sphincter on his/her dignity and common sense...
In the meanwhile, I&#039;d like to thank Fleet Admiral Bitchslap Macallan for his ongoing, dedicated committment to running scientology into the ground.
Bubba sends his greetings, and is excitedly planning a special cult leader &quot;Orange Panty Night&quot; in cellblock 47!]]></description>
