When you consider how much money they have incoming and the lack of concern to spend it on their members it really does make them seem a cold disingenuous bunch.

** 5 million was my estimate only which is roughly 16.5k members X $300. Mike or anyone else in the know is welcome to correct me if I am mistaken.

Exploding tomatoes with Putin’s face on perhaps. Perhaps COB will finally give him that interview he was trying to get if he sees that John’s trying to get Kyiv mission to go ideal…

That really puts this in perspective.

To think david Caligula “Little Boots” miscavige will not give up one designer suit or custom-made shoes or some Scotch to fund this org is showing his real self.

I totally agree. By now the meaning of the Russian Ukrainian conflict has changed in the minds of Europeans. IAS, New Era o scn in general can’t ask for money from Russians, but even less from Europeans. So, what can scn really do in Ukraine? A ridiculous WTH campaign? They have no plans. So, actually a beautiful nothing, and then they wont do anything.

The IAS has no desire to commit funds or staff to a hot war zone. Hurricanes. earthquakes, and poverty are one thing. But gunfire, explosions, and the threat of nuclear radiation is where they probably draw the line.

The CSW will ultimately be reviewed by DM since it affects his SO Reserves. The CSW must include the situation, data, and information, and finally the proposed solution. This solution should never be ‘release the money’ (otherwise the person will be released in some lost hole for eternity), but it must explain how this will generate more money in return, not just help a mission in Kiev without power.

I suspect anyone will think too much before making such a request.

Were is the IAS or SCN in general with its billions? They could sort this in a matter of minutes. Does anyone post the comments that everyone is thinking when they come across requests like this? I would love to see the response when they did. Maybe COB could see a pair of shoes to fund it.
