VM’s Swing Into Action

December 29, 2021 By Mike Rinder 14 Comments

Once again, the “largest private relief force on earth” has swung into fundraising and photo op action following the deadly tornados in Kentucky.

As you can see, the ideal orgs in Nashville, Cincinnati (actually located across the river in Kentucky) and Columbus poured thousands, hundreds, tens of a few people into the relief effort a week or so after the event. They never said they are fast, just the biggest.

 

 

Actually, the ideal orgs in the region, despite having yellow vans, are not the ones coordinating the effort, it’s being handled out of Los Angeles.

This is a shot of the CC Nashville parking lot I took in 2015 — it proves they did have a van then, with no flat tires, though no cars in their parking lot…

    I did that stuff in Vancouver once, I got to stand at a small car show entrance guiding people, I think stick in the mud describes my function there and pretty much the whole event. I think stick in the mud describes most posts in Scientology. Those posts are just there to pretend that a fundraiser has an actual post title.
    Executive Director: chief fundraiser;
    Deputy Executive Dir= secondary fundraiser;
    Hubbard Area Secretary: Bitch extortionist or just fundraiser;
    Org Exec Secretary: another fundraiser;
    Flag Banking Officer: Sea Org Fundraiser;
    Case Supervisor: Technical Bullshit to aid in fundraising;
    Auditor: The guy who is stabbing you in the back but to your face as he smiles.
    Hubbard Communications Office Cope Officer: the HAS’s bitch who pays for shit the org should pay for like internet. He’s actually too busy for anything as his official function is overload bitch.
    Sea Org Member: self righteous fundraiser.
    International Association of Scientologists: fundraising meat
    Class 5 Orgs: fundraising mazes
    Upper Orgs: different fundraising mazes.

    Liars, liars, liars.

    That’s all Scientologists are.

    They’ll show this video at an event and claim that they calmed the area, and all the Still Ins will applaud and believe it. Sad

      Aqua, don’t worry. As things are going with their events, when they finally get to show it, it will be old stuff.

    The Volunteer Minister vans are always Ford vans. Is this because Ford vans are the IDEAL VAN FOR IDEAL ORGS (joke) or did someone in the church score a deal on these things?

    Sometimes, one’s reaction to such absurdity is to shake your head and laugh.

      Right Leslie. Vultures are like that by nature. Scn is like that for his scriptures.

    Looking at the pictures I couldn’t help but notice a few things. First, the picture of three VMs and a ladder. That house looks like it just lost a few shingles. The TV dish is still attached to the roof for heck’s sake! And in another pic, they’re handing out snacks to other relief workers, NOT victims of the storms! I’ll take a wild guess and say they are probably not even supplying the food, just distributing it. That’s what they’ve done countless times before. Just another sample of Stolen Honor.

    These (un)volunteer ministers have struck again. Like vultures, they swoop down on disasters just to take advantage of them.
    Where are they instead in everyday life? Homeless people or people in difficulty, are they perhaps too “little” disasters to help?
    With all the billions they have, never a single cent has never been spent on charitable works.
    And doing so would perhaps be the only thing that could improve their toxic image. But it is against policy. Then you scn would do well to disappear quickly.

    I hate light colored letters on a light colored background. Blue on yellow is just stupid. But it does hide the misspellings. I wonder how many free water bottles and free lunches the VMs scarfed up in there quest to get good pictures?

    Hopefully I’ll get responses from the various emails I’ve sent out in an attempt to sort fact from fiction. Have they sprung into action or meandered into photo-ops? My money’s on the latter…

      I won’t cover your bet, Stefani. They spring into action solely for the photo ops. “Charity” is not a concept that scientology understands. Nor, evidently, is planning ahead for these things.
