I recently published the Quarterly report for the EUS OT Committees and the stats for the WUS OT Committees.
Here are the quarterly reports from the other Conts. I cannot be bothered to read them, but specific areas may be of interest to some. I am publishing them all here so there is a public record as they are enlightening as to the state of the orgs. You will note as with the other areas that there is more reporting on the NON Scientology activities (WISE, WTH, Narconon etc) than on getting people into orgs. Where there are any specifics given on people moving on the bridge they are usually “one person started their basics last quarter and they are still doing good…”.
Missing is the report from Africa. UPDATE: Africa now in and at the end of the report. The only additions I have made are to mark the “Ideal Orgs” in red, and in some areas where I noted there were no reports at all from some orgs I noted them. I may have missed some.
The overall picture painted by these reports is that most of these orgs are hobbling along, barely staying alive. Certainly no “massive international expansion” or “straight up and vertical.” The other thing of note is how the “art of sleaze” has permeated all of these “OTC’s” who seem able to make it sound like a major accomplishment that they “worked on” getting “confirms for the event.”
United Kingdom
AOSH UK OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
This quarter has been the most monumental in history with the new Golden Age of Tech II releases, and Superpower and the new Flag Building. We have also just had the watershed news that Churches in the UK are allowed to perform weddings, which is a religious recognition, and first step toward Charity status and great things occurring in the UK and out to Europe and the world!
With many OTC members converging on Flag for the Golden Age of Tech II events and the International IAS event this quarter, the OTC here at Saint Hill have worked heavily on getting people recovered back onto their basics so they are ready for the new releases. This was done with great results.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
We had a contingent of OTC members at the Release event at Flag. The Golden Age of Tech II auditing and training release event occurred at Saint Hill on the 23rd of November, and OTC did a massive call in, in coordination with Saint Hill, focusing on recovery cycles, and making sure we have all the public in the field to the events here, or at a local org if they were overseas. The event was very, very uptone and the public after the event were waiting up to midnight to see tech terminals! The OTC then helped confirm people to come in the next day to see the new orientation film, and this ended up having to be shown continuously as more people kept coming. The OTC held a large meeting on 5 December and invited the Snr CS SHF to come and give us a more in-depth briefing on the Student hat and answer questions for those who were FSMing to clear up anything they didn’t understand so they can really get people into the org and moving on their line ups.
Following the events OTC members continually encouraged public and OTC members to avail themselves of Golden Age of Tech II. One PC who had been off auditing lines for years was directly routed onto the new GAT II auditing line-up for his grades by the OTC as the first pc for a newly returned Class V GAT II auditor and he continues to make stellar wins!
The D/Chairman Peta Grafton, OTA I/C Lizzy Calcioli and OES John Bruce are on the GAT II Training Line-up Student Hat, and HES Gunilla Gerber is at Flag on her SRD and the Chairman Fran Hutton is at Flag doing the new Advanced Solo. Additionally, 8 other OTC members have now started the GAT II Student hat and also more on other processing actions i.e. Grades, Purif etc.
One OTC member who had done the earlier versions of the Student Hat twice, had a stellar win after just starting the new Student Hat, they said that it had completely changed the way they had been looking at and studying things in general in life!
Five OTC members are at Flag for PURF and/or SRD and are IP with these making phenomenal gains, and another is about to go to Flag to start!
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
OT 8, Sue Hollom is the I/C of the Basics Project for Saint Hill OTC, and this quarter has built up the team, and galvanized them into production. They went out visiting people in coordination with the Orgs (AOSHUK & SHF) to get people recovered back onto their Basics, or to put more time on their Basics to complete them ready for the Golden Age of Tech II releases.
They did an amazing job and between the Basics Project, and the OTC Recoveries Project run by OT 8 Hanny Barram they recovered over 65 people back onto their basics. This does not include resigns etc.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
We started the quarter with an excellent Humanitarian Dinner on 14th September which was Indian themed. We had a delicious Indian meal, Indian dancing and music and the Humanitarians were presented with leather jackets, organised by Surinder Bhangu from CLO. At the end of the event the raffle was drawn for the Porsche by Ali and Noor Shawcat who are Diamond Meritorious and Richard Roberts won the car! This was really exciting as he had been on the BP list that week to increase his contribution from Founding Member. He did no less than return the car to the dealer and completed his Humanitarian the same week!
OTC members Shaan and Taylor Young and Natalia Garside organized and held an Ideal Org Fundraising Rounders (a British game a little similar to baseball) games event on Sunday the 22nd of September at the St Hill overflow field car park. They also enlisted help from Delphine Bulger, Holly Grayer, Vicky Guy. There were 48 adults and children who paid to play rounders and purchased homemade cakes, pastries and refreshments. Total raised – £317.57
Everybody came up tone and were inspired to do more fun fundraising activities. They discussed plans for the next fundraising event and set up a meeting to organize it. People who haven’t previously been involved in any fundraising activities are now on board and enthusiastic about participating.
The next event was the Ideal Org Golf Tournament on 28 September at Sweetwoods Golf Course. Ideal Org project members David Banks and Alastair Lycett organized the event with help from many other OTC members. There were 18 golfers who donated or were sponsored for the event which raised £2,275! The Lycett Lions were up against the Banks Braves, the Stokes Sharks, Jackson Jaguars and the Pinchin Panthers. The Pinchin Panthers won, Mark Pinchin, DSA London Org, Charles Jackson PES London Foundation and Nicole Keppler (OT 8) who sunk the winning put! A roast beef dinner followed the tournament and there was a briefing on the Ideal Org strategy and Birmingham Org. The event created a large team who want to help organize the next tournament in April 2014 and raise more sponsorship for Ideal Orgs!
This was followed by various events held at Birmingham Org and Ethnie Ward, who is a staff member, completed her Humanitarian!
Over the year Hamish Bulger, Joe Taffe and Marianna Hurley from the Landlord Office had been working with Frankie McGuigan (OT VII) who was a founding member (£25,000). In October he completed his Humanitarian!
Bonfire Night was celebrated on 9th November at Saint Hill in the overflow carpark. Shaan and Taylor Young who are I/C’s of the Future OTC, organized Natalie Garside to run this event, and she recruited Alex Cronin, Stewart Guy, Marie Douglas, Holly Grayer, Daphne Miltenburg, Dan Garside, Cheryl and Sam Banks. The event raised £1,100 in total and there was a raffle. It started off with a huge bonfire and Alex Cronin set up a BBQ for the children to toast their marshmallows. They loved this and they also had sparklers! Stuart Guy organised and donated the fireworks and it was a fantastic display! Natalie organised 3 people to run the food and sell hot and cold drinks. 40 to 50 people attended over the course of the night including some non Scientologists and one person who has been off lines and hasn’t been at Saint Hill for about 12 years!
The night was really, really amazing. Natalie also had some reaches from people to join the FOTC which is a great win as the group is really expanding out into the field now and getting a lot of young people on board to help! Well done Natalie!
Following promo from the Landlord Office a Basics recovery, Wilf Adams from AOSH UK, walked in and wanted to be one of the first 100 Humanitarians and donated £20,000!
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
During this quarter a total of 19 IAS memberships or status upgrades were assisted by the Saint Hill OTC, including 14 IAS annual or Freedom Fighter Lifetime memberships. This quarter also included the brilliant IAS event on 12 October, featuring Chill E.B. which the OTC also supported by getting people to attend, and also helping to get donations at the event. During that same period, a Patron status was completed by OTC members on the Ship and this was also assisted by another OTC member, so outflow definitely equals inflow.
More recently, following the roll-out of GAT II, there have been some further annual and lifetime membership completions, one of which was paid for by IAS Patron with Honours OTC member Mike Todd for one of his staff members. He said that this was a great win for him and he could not think of any better way to reward one of his own staff members than to secure their IAS membership, particularly when rewarded with the complete VVGI’s of the person concerned. A very theta cycle all round!!
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
Our 4D Campaigns project is headed up by OTC Member John Bradley. We have a project to get TAD into the Shops in the surrounding areas, and the WTH into each household around Sussex and Surrey.
This Quarter, we worked on distributing TWTH to Haywards Heath, this project was run by OT 8 Neil Fraser, this has a population of 34,000 and they completed this with all households getting the booklet. 10,500 booklets out in total. They have now started on East Grinstead.
A Scientologist who is in a local hospice, wanted to thank the nurses for all they were doing to help her, so OTC got her WTH booklets to give out to them. Other nurses asked if they could have copies as well until two bundles of booklets were handed out within the hospice to the nurses there.
Our Truth About Drugs Project is headed up by OTC members Frederique Bisch and Evelyn Herbin, both are determined to help handle the drug problems locally and each week have been distributing The Truth About Drugs booklets, to every shop, community centre, police station, library and town hall in towns surrounding East Grinstead and so far have covered all of Crawley, Horley and Lingfield as well as more recently completing the town of Horsham which has a population of about 128,000 people. Between them they have distributed thousands of The Truth About Drugs booklets to these towns resulting in very good reaches for more booklets or information.
In Horsham for example, Frederique and Evelyn visited West Sussex County Council where the receptionist there was very pleased to accept the booklets for her reception desk and then introduced them to a man in the council who is responsible for handling the youth in the area. He too liked the booklets and asked if they could take some booklets to the youth centre for the youths there to read. This was immediately done, and later the same man was re-contacted and he would now like copies of all the other drug booklets, cocaine, alcohol etc. as he said this is what the youths need most of all and so copies of all these booklets will be with him very soon.
Over the last few years, OT Committee members have been diligently distributing copies of TWTH and The Truth About Drugs booklets throughout the local towns and villages and in October 2013 the East Grinstead Observer newspaper reported that “Drug crime falls 40% in one year” and the article goes on to say that in East Grinstead the drug related crime did indeed drop 40% in one year and also that in Crawley town nearby the drug related crime dropped 20% in the same year, and so these statistics are very encouraging and tells us that we need to continue what we are doing to bring help and sanity to the environment around us.

BIRMINGHAM OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
The main focus of production this last quarter has been in the massive amount of work that has been undertaken to get the Org CF and other files in order for the forthcoming move to our Ideal Org.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
Prior to the GAT II releases, there were briefings at several OT Committee meetings by Chairman Robert Lawson about the preparations for GAT II and all of the OTC had become increasingly excited about what was about to be released. Just prior to the event this included several OTC members making extra payments to future services to flow power to the Org. The OTC helped in various ways to enthuse the public to attend the GAT II events, such as sending emails, contacting public on a one-to-one basis and helping arrange transport to the events. Chairman Robert Lawson has helped in enlightening public both before and after the event. Given that these releases have only just taken place this area of activity is very much IP. OTC member Richard Roberts also put in a large number of hours in helping the renovations necessary at the Org to ensure the new GAT II courses could be delivered.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
Kate Golby was instrumental in getting a field Scientologist who has been off lines for 12 years, onto the Dianetics extension course which she then went on and completed. This person then came to the GAT II events with her daughters. She was very keyed out being in comm again and with the new delivery. What a win for us all.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
The main event this quarter was the Humanitarian Event that was held at St Hill in September. Birmingham OTC and field were well represented at this sparkling dinner. Richard Roberts, Birmingham OTC member won the new Porsche in the raffle and then proceeded to sell it immediately in order to complete his Humanitarian that week! The OTC had held meetings with Richard prior to this in order to help him with planning to make it to Humanitarian.
Another key cycle was when the OTC collectively helped to push staff member Ethnie Ward over the line so as she could achieve the status of Humanitarian. Ethnie is 70 years old and quite a new Scientologist with a big heart. We held a group meeting and then Chairman Robert Lawson spent time with Ethnie which resulted in her finding the funds to complete the cycle – it was very theta!
Ben Ranson worked extensively on research to gather local knowledge to help with promotions for the Birmingham Ideal Org events.
Progress on Files Projects.
The Central Files project has moved on very considerably this last quarter thanks to the efforts of all OTC members and helpers, who put in many, many hours assisting the project that was in the org. A whole area was set up in the org, ‘Grand Central Filing Station’ and in addition to the OTC helpers, other Scientologists came from as far away as Kent and Bristol and stayed over to help. Donations were collected to aid the accommodations requirements for these helpers from the OTC. The OTC also donated a brand-new photocopier, a vital tool in the endeavor. This ran 7 days a week and included ‘curry nights’ for several Saturday evenings as part of the fun!
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
We had a briefing from CCHR on the importance of raising awareness amongst politicians about drugging of children and as a result quite a number of OTC members visited their MPs to raise the issue. This included Kate Golby, Tina Cartwright, Ben Ranson, and others. The OTC also had a briefing re 4D campaigns and as a result several OTC put out TAD booklets at retail outlets and other places including Jon Holloway who did this again at his local chip shop.
Hardeep Jita, Emanuela Shepherd, Kate Golby and John Herring went and assisted at the CCHR demo in October.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the revelations of Golden Age of Tech Phase II, but in that time OT Committee member Nigel McEnery has magically created a sauna in what was an office space. Helped by OTC Chairman Malcolm Gellatly whose trailer has been in service taking rubble away, the Purification Rundown is shortly to be available and OTC member Tim Clark is first in line (studying the new Student Hat while he waits).
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
Early November was our annual Halloween Party, masterminded by SH OTC member Sue Hollom and attended by two dozen local Scientologists and their kids. Donations for the Ideal Org by way of entrance fees raised just under $350. And a great time was had by all, with scary costumes and fun games.
OTC Chairman Malcolm Gellatly is continuing his successful action of raffling a car; his latest venture is a Mecedes Benz SLK convertible, with more than $2500 raised thus far. His goal for this one is $15,000 to the UK Ideal Org coffers.

4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
An international psychiatric event (International Youth Mental Health Conference) held in Brighton in early October was scuppered when a CCHR demonstration appeared right on their doorstep! Manned by Scientologists from Brighton and East Grinstead, the psychs found out what it is like to have more than two dozen protestors chanting anti-psych messages in their faces! A number of passers-by stopped to share their anti-psych horror stories, and validate our message.

HAPI OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
New OT 8 Eve McKenzie has recently returned from Flag and taken on the HAPI OTC Chairman hat.
One of the first actions she took when she returned is to get busy on getting HAPI ready for Golden Age of Tech II, and building up the HAPI OTC.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
OTC members helped on Call in for the GAT 2 release event and recovered several public into the org for this. There was highest ever attendees.
The key thing OTC was asked to help on was getting HAPI ready to deliver the Golden Age of Tech Phase II, and required raising money for renos and getting people to help do the renovations. The entrance was done by HAPI OTC David and Eve McKenzie, Dharma Wright and Anita McGuigan OTC plus public David Fraser and Paddy Mulligan and Stephen Larkin helped. Drew Robb’s “Friends of Scotland” LA raised £2,500 for entrance and OTC made up the difference.
David McKenzie is full time on getting the Purif built and ready with lots of support, help from Saint Hill OTC member and ‘Scot’ Stewart Guy on finance and muscle and outflow, both are taking full responsibility to get it done. SH OTC member Brian Wordie is there to working with David. Money raised so far from OTC for this £1,200.
It is a big win seeing the whole image of the Org transformed to an upstat bright fresh space that we can comfortably occupy, be proud to sell books from and introduce new public to. All the staff and public love it and it gave a real boost to everyone.
OTC Chairman Eve recovered 2 people back into the org. One, Steve Brennan had not been in the Org since early 80s. He arrived in Edinburgh at 4.30 (21/2 hrs. before event) and came not only both nights but stayed through Sunday as well. He left with DMSMH and is preparing to begin some auditing next June.

Rod Jones got Vivi Cohen arrived for updates and high crimes as well as routing onto them himself. Tabitha Hardy got Andrew Toomey to the events and the same week routed onto the new Student Hat. Andrew had been blown off lines for almost ten years so this was a big win.
Progress on Files Projects.
With the merge between CC and London org there was a huge backlog of filing to be done.
Many OTC members and London and CC public worked together to clear all backlogged filing of both CF and student files. This took hundreds of man hours and all that remains is the merging of the files once the new ideal files have been made to replace the old ones.

SARDEGNA OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
The OTC Sardegna committed themselves unreservedly, to reaching of the primary goals for the expansion of our religion. Finally we can say that the purchase of the new building for the Ideal Org is DONE!!!
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
OTC Sardinia has continued in the enlightening action on the advantages and needs in going on the study of the Basics, also as primary requisite to make the most from GAT2. Our leader, the OT Ambassador Antonietta Fadda, personally held the majority of the briefings and workshops on several subjects like “the admin scale”, “the conditions”, “the dynamics”, the PR tech”, etc.
People were helped in restoring the personnel priority of completing the Basics as a big help of their going up the Bridge.
Several groups of OTC members have carried forward an enlightening program with some Scientologist of the area, contacting and interviewing them to arouse the interest towards their Bridge, toward the study of the Basics and toward the fantastic goal of the Sardinian Ideal Org. Thanks to this activity there were 3 people recovered on the Basics and LICs.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs
In this quarter the personal effort and commitment of all the OTC members towards the goal of buying the building has reached the level of “blood, sweat and tears”.
The difficulties there were coming were huge but our tenacity and good stubbornness, never forgetting the motto “I prefer to see you dead than incapable” let us overcome the insidious barriers of the bank, keeping the purpose alive… above the pressure of the MEST universe.
Knowing that we had the decisive event for the completion of the cycle of the Building, some members of the OTC, during the weeks before the event, gave interviews for hours to several scientologists so that they had their interest on the goal of creating the Ideal Org again.
Thanks also to these activities, during the memorable event held the 12th October, with around 80 people, the OTC cooperating with the I/C of the fund raising Franco Nigro and Gian Luca Bussacchetti (SO members) and with the Org of Sardinia and the Missions of Nuoro and Olbia, pushed all the attendees to donate.
Obviously the OTC members have given the necessary push with personal financial engagement in the fund raising until we have reached the end of the cycle, DONE!
During that event there were promised and then raised euro 25.000 euro (the OTC members gave 13.000 euro).
The evening was really beautiful, with live music, games and skits, but the main thing was the Theta all around and the spirit of game that involved all the people present, enthusiastic and determined in completing the goal.
The week after the completion of the cycle, as an ack for the help received, the OTC Sardinia with the Org of Sardinia, Nuoro and Olbia MSN has organized a thank you party for the Fundraising I/C Franco Nigro and Gianluca Bussacchetti (FBO Org Sardinia.)
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
In November the IAS event was held in Cagliari and Olbia, with more than 150 people attending. OTC Sardinia played its role with call-in and personal contacts to have people at the event and, during the event, donating. There were several statuses reached: 3 lifetime and a Patron, reached by Antonietta Fadda (OT8 and OT Ambassador) and her son.
In this quarter the OTC have raised more than 36.000 $.
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
The OTC members have continued the distribution of the booklets of the different 4D campaigns.
In particular, 490 copies of TWTC were distributed in just a few days by a veteran member of the OTC 490 copies of TWTH, while another group, in cooperation with a staff of Nuoro Mission distributed in one hour, in one day, 190 booklets on Human Rights in the main street of Nuoro.
These activities have caused great acceptance and a lot of good remarks from several people that, with the booklet in their hands, were interested and thanking the Scientologist for the initiative.
An OTC member is working with the schools in the region of Nuoro, enlightening them on the need of making the students know about Human Rights, showing them the humanitarian purposes and presenting some formal initiative to have this issue officially in the school programs of the new year.
The 18th November there was a disaster in some area in Sardegna. In a few hours a violent hurricane released a quantity of water that usually comes in 6 months. There were 17 people dead and serious damage to houses that were flooded by 150 cm of mud. There was very serious damage also to the streets and a lot of animals died. In the OTC Sardegna there are some VM. They moved rapidly to bring help to the devastated people. Groups organized with the national protection, helped in the city of Olbia where the majority of the damage was. They helped the people in trouble by cleaning the houses from the mud and in recovering what it was possible to recover.
Another group organized a food and comfort items from all over Sardegna, transporting them on trucks to the places hit by the hurricane.
Some other members organized a collection and bought food, then gave it to some families with kids that were in trouble. The same members also helped in cleaning the houses, washing clothes and giving theta and help to these people. There were involved in these activities 23 members of the OTC that did 800 volunteer hours.
Recent Stellar Achievers.
Our leader, the OT Ambassador OT VIII, Antonietta Fadda, always first in organizing productive initiatives, encourages and unites the group. She held a series of seminars and briefings on Conditions, Ethics, Dynamics, PR tech, etc. to several different groups of Scientologist. She also organized some group processing (delivered by C/S Italy) with 24 people. Antonietta is a stable datum for all the Sardinian scientologists and everybody can receive her help, right and targeted advices that address people to be more causative. She takes care of the I Help group “Sardegna Ideale” and she is decisive in each useful strategy for the fund raising for the Ideal Org.
Daniela Fois, OT VII, Cl IV Auditor and C/S. Daniela is our absolute Landmark on tech Processing. There were really a lot of people helped with professional auditing and ethics cycles. Daniela is incredibly capable in addressing people on the vital purpose of getting on the Bridge. It doesn’t matter if they are at the beginning or on the OT levels, her Theta determinism is very contagious.
Daniela pushes tirelessly people towards spiritual betterment, she always gives great help, on every occasion, precious and spiritual.
Cinzia Curreli, our great friend, she is now auditing on OT VII. She is a great lawyer, and from this hat has helped unreserved (and she continues doing it) in a lot of legal vicissitudes, also difficult, concerning Scientologists but also MSN and ORG, locally and nationally. She has literally overturned for the best, some dangerous situations putting back juridical peace and avoiding malignant kickback from anti- scientologists. Cinzia is very good in talking with people and help them not only in the legal field but also in the ethical and professional matters, addressing them with some easy data on ethics in the working area. Moreover she has saved several people from the psych hands, taking them away also from psych drugs, with a very functional informative on drugs.
NOTE, it seems that what used to be two orgs — Cagliari and Nuoro are now “consolidated” into one now named Sardegna. Like CC London was “consolidated” with London Org it seems that rather than orgs being OPENED they are being “consolidated.” I wonder who was declared for these “Suppressive Acts”?

AMSTERDAM OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
The last 3 months have been the most exciting months in their history as an org with religious recognition finally achieved in Holland after a 20-year battle.
They now hold events in “their” Ideal Org. Since they own the building, they are able to utilize the space to provide staff and public with high havingness and a vision of what the future will behold once they have all the renovations paid for and done.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
The first Ideal Org event in their newly purchased building was held on September 19th. The first floor is half empty so this was set up as an event hall with decorated tables and chairs. This was the first time that the public had seen the inside of the building. The public was curious with 80 people showing up, including many who do not normally attend fundraising events. They were all very excited and kept commenting on how great the building is, that the location is just perfect, etc. One could witness them keying out by just being in the building.
The public toured the building including the 3rd floor, with the spectacular roof terrace with incredible views over Amsterdam. The parking garage is important to many public.
As part of the event, a Skype call was put through on the video screen with Anna Mazza, FSC, who was at Flag. She gave a taste of the buzz going on at Flag with the release of Golden Age of Tech II. The public had a sparkly in their eyes as they got excited about the future and what this means for them and all of Scientology. Then the OES gave a short briefing about how easy Golden Age of Tech training is and how each person in the room can do it too but that they need to be ready (using what COB said about the Basics).
The FBO took over and gave a short speech about phase II of the building, the construction phase. A fun slideshow was done showing items the public could donate such as paint, chairs, etc.
The FBO announced the first pledges with the Remmerswaal family pledging their New Civilization Builder with Honours status and the Humanitarian status of U-man in Belgium. The public was keyed out and saw that it IS possible to get the renovation money regged also. Then a speed drill fundraising was done. At the event 4,590 Euro was raised with a total of $406,000 in pledges.
On October 20th, they had one of the most theta-incredible events ever to celebrate not only their Ideal Org but with news that Scientology Holland has achieved religious recognition. The DSA announced in his speech that Holland had received the Public Benefit status. He then explained how big of a deal this actually is. The public enthusiastically applauded and was completely keyed out about this.
The DSA turned the event over to the PRO, who gave some of the background stories on the responses coming in from the lawyer, the professor who helped enormously on the cycle, the public and of course the media. One of the media had the headline: “Court: Scientology is a real church”. When this headline was read to the public they were VVVGI’s.
The theta in the room kept expanding. The FBO announced Mr Ideal Org, Joop Remmerswaal, who pledged to be a New Civilization Builder. Joop received a huge applause and then spoke to the public. Following that the ED started the fundraising with the FCS, Hein Kleinveld, who came on stage. He gave a speech about how Scientology is “IT,” and that he had made a decision to be a Humanitarian. Huge applause.
Then something very special happened. D/ED Dick den Hartog came forward and said that we needed to realize that religious recognition in Holland is such a big thing, and that it has so much more influence then we think. He made it very real that we cannot wait any longer and that the building needs to open next year for sure. He announced his Humanitarian! So much theta was generated and everyone stayed throughout the evening of fundraising. Smaller donations and flows were received and the event was closed with a nice LRH quote.
On 2nd of November there was a follow up event to celebrate the religious recognition and what that really means to Amsterdam Scientologists. Julia Rijnvis who was the DSA for Amsterdam for many years came from OSA Int to celebrate and tell the story of the 20-year battle with the tax office. She handed out commendations to all who worked on the 4D campaigns, as they had been vital in proving that we do provide a valuable service to society and therefore contributing to the definition of a religious group deserving this status for the public good. Especially commended was Karel Jeelof, who tirelessly worked on this and never gave up despite all the setbacks experienced. This demonstrated to everyone present that you must persevere and you will get there in the end. This is exciting for the public as it means that their donations are now tax deductible.
Getting New Public into the Org.
WISE member and top FSM Mike Heyl has been as busy as ever lecturing and FSMíng new public into the org. He had 3 Purif starts in Amsterdam and 4 in Dusseldorf. 5 PC’s started on intro auditing with a further 2 scheduled to start. 9 interviews done with Free Case Analysis’. He told the story of a client whose company with 150 staff was stuck. Mike was at a loss as to how to get him through. The client was on holiday so Mike decided to call him in and invite him to his house. He took the E-meter and explained it to him. The client has a technical background and was very interested and liked it. Now he is on his 4th intensive of auditing.
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister).
Delegates from Youth for Human Rights Holland Gerbrig Leistra and Carola Goodwin attended the 10th International Youth Summit in Brussels held by Youth for Human Rights International.
It was an inspiring event with many speakers from all over the world, including youth delegates and keynote speakers from the field of Human Rights. From Holland we had invited Mr. Lousewies van der Laan, Vice President of the ALDE party in the Europarlement and Mr Igbal and his wife who is a Human Rights advocate from Sri Lanka who works closely with the UN. Ms. Lousewies van der Laan, former Dutch politician and party leader of D66 and now the vice president of the ALDE party in Europe, delivered a very inspiring speech addressing the youth specifically. Her personal experiences regarding human rights issues developed her passion for human rights and became her drive to become political active. “If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, I would really encourage you to become advocates for peace and tolerance or become political involved yourself”, was her message to all youth. Also attending as a new Dutch delegate was Andre Damian, a law student in Utrecht, who is now organizing youth in Holland to get involved via social media.
CCHR
Holland with their team of regular volunteers Eve Perard, Marcella and Oge Kruijt and Sophie Coulomb have been holding their regular events, attending local markets and handing out flyers and receiving stories from the public. One public said “if you want to be poor get a lawyer if you want to go crazy visit a psychiatrist.” One psychiatric nurse so disagreed with the side effects experienced by her patients, that she is training to become a Naturopath to see if she can use more natural methods. In total 1,250 flyers have been distributed and 400 DVDs have been sent out to interested parties.
Carola Goodwin has been asked to function as a moderator for discussion panels run by the Amsterdam Women Group for Religious Tolerance. She was invited to a lecture by a member of the group held in the Liberal Jewish Synagogue about the Jewish faith. Interesting was that they do not personify God and Carola stood up and introduced herself as a member of the Church of Scientology stating that recently the Church had received religious recognition and that they also did not personify God. She received a mention in their newsletter. After this Carola was asked if she could be the moderator as they really liked the way she had moderated a meeting of religious groups held in the Org, ensuring that everyone was treated with respect and that common ground was found with all present.
Recent Stellar Achievers.
Mike Heyl — OT5 — who continually brings in new public to the org and regularly gives lectures in the field.
Gerbrig Leistra — OT5 — who is bringing YFHR to another level in Holland and who ensured that influential speakers attended the World Summit in Brussels.
Karel Jeelof — OT5 — who persisted for 20 years in getting our religious recognition in Holland.
ANGERS OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
A public, who had been off lines and recovered 3 years ago with the help of OTC Chairman, François Chauchet, is now progressing very well on the Basics; which increased a lot her interest for the Bridge. She recently completed the Co-Audit Objectives Course, and wants now to move onto the Grades. So, with the help of François, who is also her FSM, she just overcame all the barriers and bought a 15 intensives auditing package. She immediately started on the Happiness Rundown, and got very big wins on it, and is now about to start the Grades!
Angers OTC members have helped as well to organize the Golden Age of Tech Phase II events so that they can be very successful. OTC members have done a massive call-in. Eliane Chauchet, OT Ambassador, contacted as well directly 2 publics off-lines since years, and talked to them to invite them to the events, and more generally to help to recover them. Jean-François Charpenet, OTC member, closed as well a public who rarely comes for the events to attend.
All these actions helped to have a big attendance to these historical events.
Right after the GAT II event when the Mark Ultra VIII has been released, Eliane Chauchet, OT Ambassador, got immediately her own E-Meter, and contacted several other OTs to encourage them to do so. Hervé Delafraye and Patrick Delafraye, both OTC members, bought immediately as well their new Mark Ultra VIII! 3 other OTC members did same in the week right after the events. That was for a major part in the fact that Angers org has been the first European Class V Org to reach its quota of sales of the new Mark Ultra VIII.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
OTC members have of course continued their own study of the Golden Age of Knowledge materials.
As the supervisors of the org were still at Flag in training for GAT 2, help was asked to the publics who are trained as supervisors to help, so that publics can progress on their Basics. 2 OTC members answered this call.
Maïna Danion, OT Ambassador, overcame the MEST barriers –as she lives 250km away from the org – and delivered many days of supervision in the course room. And Evelyne Cougoulic, despite distance (200km) and a very busy schedule (as she is a Solo NOTs auditor) delivered also several days of supervision. That was a great help to enable the publics to continue to their route of the Golden Age of Knowledge.
François Chauchet also disseminated his sister, who is on the HQS course! She has already completed all the beginners’ books extension courses, and as she wanted to continue on her study of Golden Age of Knowledge, she completed, with the help of her FSM François, her whole collection of Basics books and lectures, and then started on her next extension course.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
After having during several months focused on the French National Alliance, OTC members in coordination with the staff of Angers org have organized a local event of fundraising. Publics were very happy to contribute again directly to the local project.
OTC members did call-in, they prepared as well the food and helped to prepare the room and everything else for the event. After the briefing given by Nicolas Lafon, Angers Flag Rep, François Chauchet and Patrick Delafraye, OTC members, have done the stage fundraising, which enabled to collect more funds in order to get the building needed for our Ideal Org.
It should be noted that OTC has a new active member, Eric Du Petit Thouars, who decided to directly contribute to the creation of his new Ideal Org, by becoming a fundraiser for this project.
Bookselling.
This is one of the most important target worked on by the OTC since several years, coordinated by Rose-May Gorostiza, OTC member. 9 OTC members participate on a regular basis to stress test and book-selling in the streets. In addition to these persons, 6 other publics or OTC members help on special periods, mainly during Bookathons.
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
One local fund-raising event has been organized in Angers, in October, with a Freedom Medal Winner. OTC members helped for the call-in and the organization.
OTC members helped as well for the call-in to confirm attendees for IAS Anniversary local event.
And it should be noted that Jacqueline Delafraye (ED of Angers Org) and Patrick Delafraye (OTC member) decided to become the first Silver Patron Meritorious of Angers just before the IAS Anniversary this year!!!

GOOD NEWS ON A 4 DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN IN DENMARK.
“Youth for Human Rights” in Denmark have had quite a wild year with a lot of great victories and wins that they would love to share with you:
First, they are now the very proud owners of a “Human rights Hero Award”, which was bestowed at the International Youth for Human Rights summit in Brussels in September.
The group has worked mainly on directing teachers, politicians and young peoples attention to what human rights are, and in particular looking at our country’s responsibility in what goes on in the world around us, and what young people in Denmark can do about the bad situations going on in the world around us, that they see and hear about daily in the media.
“Youth for Human Rights” in Denmark have been doing annual Walks for Human Rights in December and the walks have grown over the years and garnered front page media. Last year was the fifth walk in a row and more than 220 mainly students participated and the Walk ended with a big event in a community hall owned by the City of Copenhagen. The MC was a City Council member and the whole event was sponsored by the City of Copenhagen with a grant of $5,000!
During winter and spring “Youth for Human Rights” in Denmark set up screenings of a movie called “Free China – the Courage to Believe”. The movie is about the violent acts against human rights in China. At these events our own movie “History of Human Rights” was shown as an introduction. A few of these events where set up for youth political groups, and were very successful. The director of the movie and the woman who tells her story in the movie decided to come to one of the events and it made a great impression on the young politicians. Human rights were absolutely a focus and of strong interest which our materials demonstrate.
In March the group attended a huge fair for schoolteachers and educators, in Roskilde. The “Youth for Human Rights” materials where presented, and many teachers came to look and talk about the materials and different situations they run into as teachers. They reached a large number during the fair. One of the people who came by was a very interested woman who worked in the Arhus University library. This is the library where teachers from all over Denmark go to find books and materials to use in their schools. She ordered an Education Kit, which was delivered to her in person and was set up on display, so it is easy to spot for anyone who enters the library.
To further promote the educational materials, ads were placed in educators magazines, promoting the website where teachers could order the materials. And this year the national teachers magazine “Skolen” (school), had a two page article about Youth for Human Rights activities and promoted the materials.
Further, this year Youth for Human Rights Denmark opened a Youth Club for young activists in the age of 13-18 years. On International Youth Day 10th of August the Youth Club set up in the famous Danish Walking Street with a 6 meter long petition and collected signatures in support of putting human rights into Danish law. Just last weekend, they were part of Youth for Human Rights 5th year in the Taste the World festival held by the City of Copenhagen, introducing thousands of Danes to human rights.
Other activities include:
A whole day of radio shows about human rights, interviews etc., educating school kids in human rights.
Visiting a home for refugees and giving them an education kit.
Attending a hearing in the “Institute of Human rights in Denmark” regarding incorporating human rights into the law in Denmark. Making sure that our opinion on the matter became part of the hearing.
“Youth for Human Rights” in Denmark is rapidly becoming an active and valuable member of a European Network dealing with human rights and working against racism.
“Youth for Human Rights” in Denmark became members of a national Network of all opinion leading NGO’s in the field of education on human rights.
Arranging a Peace Walk together with “your global heart”, on United Nations international day of peace, through Copenhagen, with musicians, politicians and many other groups that work on making the world a better place. Funded by the City of Copenhagen. People from all over the city joined the walk.
Say no to drugs and CCHR.
1000´s of Say No to Drugs flyers have gone out over the last months as well as CCHR flyers. These flyers are seen in shops, streets and stairwells all over the city.
TWTH.
Copenhagen has a local TWTH I/C who received funds to get new booklets with a surveyed cover, which had a much bigger impact on the Danes. They are now reaching for the book and reading it. The i/c has spend many hours on getting memberships from public, so that the new booklet could be printed and distributed.

Under the new Chairman, Louisa Chaubert, the Geneva OTC concentrated on dissemination, recovery activities, as well as the Ideal Org project during the last quarter.
A major win for Geneva OTC was the recruitment of Catherine Peguet as FSM I/C. Catherine was very active in the 1980s as a key FSM for Geneva and Flag. She recruited the majority of the veteran staff members of Geneva Org and was a stable datum for the area for many years. The OTC Chairman, after hearing rumors of Catherine’s capabilities, contacted her and proposed that she joins the OTC to help it reach its goals. It was the perfect moment since Catherine, through her study of the Basics, realized that she should come back and take her place once more in the group.

Since taking on this post Georges has become a Humanitarian with Honors himself and has helped another person become a Humanitarian. Geneva OTC has helped with 25 status completions for Basel Org over the last quarter. This is all could happen thanks to the energy and enthusiasm generated by Georges.

After the weekend the FBO wrote to the OTC Chairman stating the following “this was a total success for FSMs and for the new public who discovered Scientology and for Scientologists who discovered how simple it was to disseminate and apply Dianetics. It brought new public into the Org and was very successful and had the PCS from Basel Org wanting to duplicate the conference.” The results were as follows: 8 success stories, 2 first starts in the org, another who did an OCA and 5 NBSRAW. Carine Franceschetti, OTC PES was responsible for logistics and Darrel Schlereth was the main speaker from Canada. The entire OTC contributed, a wonderful example of teamwork.

The Munich Org and CC Munich OT Committees combined this past year and production is reported as the Munich OTC. Overall production increased and covers more sectors than ever before, with wider spread activities. This has been a great move and fun for all! There was an average of 31 active OTC members and 133 volunteer hours per week.
Helping Scientologists in your field move up The Bridge to Clear and OT.
9 publics moved up to Clear and OT and 43 on other Bridge steps, which is an average total of nearly four per week. This is due to the continuous activities of many individual OTC members.
The bi-monthly “OT Night” held by a Munich OTC team under OTC members Klaus W. and OT VII Djana P., with OT VIII Milko T. as MC, is a big booster and shows what wins the upper Bridge holds in store. It took place on 11.10.13, with presentation of recent Org, AO, Flag and Ship completions who related their wins including a NED Case completion, Power completion, L10 and L12 completions, New Solo NOTs auditor and an OT VIII completion. Approx. 40 people attended, from all levels on the Bridge. They enjoyed the very personal wins, from people they have known for long time. This made the results of the upper levels more personal and therefore more real to them and something to speed up towards and look forward to.
Another activity is the Bridge-Flow Group with 14 OTC members taking part. It is led by OTC Member OT VIII Milko T. Scientologists are recovered, ethics and technical steps are done, they talk with people to help them arrive in Qual, Ethics, on the course or at the registrar. The team meets for three weeks to coordinate its activities.
And of course the fabulous GAT II release events on 22 and 23.11.13 with nearly 600 attendees. There were great wins as the blocks to rapid Bridge flow were removed. Many people who attended were recoveries who changed their minds about continuing on the Bridge. This will change the future and of course the Munich Bridge flow in this large field.
Progress on Files Projects.
OTC Members OT VII Djana P. and Margit C. are I/C of the Filing Project. Currently phase II of the project is in progress, which is to put the particles into the files. The plan is to complete that phase by the end of this year.

A specialty in the CC is the Show Case which is held the first Friday of every month by OTC Member Makob Wegmann. This is a colorful presentation of artists from all sectors: musicians, singers, actors, painters, comedians, circus performers, etc. There are newcomers with their first appearances on stage, very well-known artists who like to come to the CC, Scientologists and Non-Scientologists, and famous and successful artists attending. A highlight was the Show Case on 08.11.13 with star tenor Gregor Praecht (Non Scientologist), a young stand-up comedian, and the band Gin Tonic who gave a jam session. The Show Case is used by FSMs to bring people into the CC for a first contact, which works very well. More than 15 new people came to the Show Cases in this quarter.
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
In Germany, the main stress is on IAS Fundraising and no specific fundraising for the Ideal Org. Many small and large IAS Events were held nearly every second week.

Makob Wegmann and his creepy rock band provided the entertainment. German Freedom Medal Winner Nicola Cramer briefed about the activities and wins of CCHR Germany, the fundraising was fun and successful.

Munich has reached the quarterly IAS quota in all three quarters of the running year. That puts Munich into the top range of European Orgs in IAS fundraising.
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
OTC member OT V Juergen Heise was very successful with his activity “Say No To Drugs – Say Yes To Life”. The requests for information material, mostly packages for police stations and schools, grow steadily compared to the year before, also the shipments of Anti-Drug Booklets, Anti-Drug Fliers and DVDs. The stats are rising for the sixth year in a row.
This strong public reach is remarkable despite government campaigns attacking Scientology, educating children against Scientology and forbidding all LRH material in schools and public sector. Most of the inquiries are for distribution to others, to give it to friends, policemen to give it to young people, teachers and students use it for seminars about drugs. The subject is very popular in Germany, and SNTD is the only activity which provides the correct information.
Other Major Activities

The OTC had already sent 11 people to the ship for that seminar in spring, which had been very successful for all participants.

Finally 32 people from the Munich field went to the ship and learned about Power and Expansion, how postulates become true, etc. They returned with great wins.

2) Establishment of a stall for “Coolest Life with Way to Happiness” in the city centre: Volunteers informed passers-by about the rampant crime in the city and that there’s a solution with The Way To Happiness booklet. It had a special youth oriented cover design that would be attractive to young people and also to their parents.
The stand was awesome featuring two water drops that were visible from over 100 meters away, a large billboard listing the 21 precepts and a large table adorned with a banner. Volunteers addressed passers-by who receive a booklet and asked to sign an undertaking to comply with the precepts of the booklet.
During these 5 outings, 4,600 booklets were distributed with nearly 500 signatures. 30 volunteers actively participated in at least one of these distribution operations. The team received a lot of encouragement. Some people have returned several times to the stand for more booklets. Several contacts were also established with officials of association, religious leaders and influential people in the field of education.
And finally, the police, overwhelmed by the problem of delinquency approved our actions and as they said “everyone has a role to play” including you (Scientologists) This is great win!
The group Say No To Drugs: A distribution and information booth was held in busy areas of Paris. Approximately 50 shops around the Celebrity Centre have welcomed the booklets and distribute them to their customers.

STUTTGART OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 13 REPORT
A lot of progress has been made in the last quarter on making Stuttgart an Ideal Org with the Day and Foundation split being done and the CF Filing Project making forward progress. Stuttgart Org was commended for being the fastest expanding Org as regards to recruitment of new staff with the number of staff more than doubled in the last 5 months. Stuttgart by now is the largest German Org and the first one that is Day and Foundation. The OTC had a major part in this with 11 OTC members joining staff.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
The Release of Golden Age of Tech Phase II was a major blowout for everyone and the OTC put a lot of work into making these events in Stuttgart the best visited events ever. A lot of call-in and interviews were done and the event attendance was a Highest Ever with more than 420 people attending the events. There was a lot of good news right at the event and the days following:
One OTC member paid for the new Academy – she was the first public to pay in for this service.
The OTC Basics I/C had started on her new Student Hat right before the OTC meeting 2 days after the event and showed the new Student Hat pack and dictionary etc. at the OTC meeting. She briefed about her wins on just going through the definitions of the first words she was clearing. Directly after that several other OTC members started on the Student Hat and the course room was packed to the point that one had to fight to get a place at a CD player.
The OTC Chairman and D/Chairman also were the first publics to buy the new E-Meter which were delivered to them during the OTC meeting, where everybody wanted to touch and see it.
The first OTC meeting after the event covered tons of wins from OTC members concerning the Golden Age of Tech Phase II events and the releases. The D/OTC Chairman for example stated that she had been working for a longer time unsuccessfully on getting the wife of one of her company staff started on services to become a Scientologist. The staff member and his wife then attended the events and were blown out. Right after the event the wife came up and stated that the Student Hat is her thing and that her and her husband both already signed up for it at the registrar. Then she went on and on about the fact that she is so happy to have married a Scientologist.
Another OTC member also stated that one of his selectees had been Q and Aing on going to the event as he does not like events that much. He came anyhow and stated afterwards, that he was so glad to have been there and that he wants to have Super Power NOW.
One OTC member brought his 16-year-old daughter to the event and had considerations if she would understand every thing as she has not done any major service yet. She was completely blown out by the event.
Helping Scientologists in your field move up The Bridge to Clear and OT.
In the last quarter there were tremendous wins from public on the Objectives and Purif. An example was a huge win of one OT VIII from Stuttgart, who had been doing her Objectives in Flag. She has been sitting in the wheelchair with one side of her body lame since a stroke a few years ago. Shortly before completing her Objectives, she got up out of the wheelchair after the session and walked to the examiner. Not only the auditor, but also the examiner and several staffs and publics in the HGC shed tears of joy, seeing her walking.
There was yet another OT VII completion from Stuttgart which brings the OT VII and VIII completions to a Highest Ever in 2013. The OT VII completion shared his wins at the OTC meeting and stated that on the level he regained the ability to be happy and the ability to make friends with many new friends and commlines now, whereas he was a loner before. Another win was that he no longer is concerned about his future but can direct and postulate his future.
There were 2 new Clears from Stuttgart in the last 5 weeks. Altogether there were 3 OTs onto next steps and 7 Clears onto next steps.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
The majority of the OTC members are either done with the Basics now or on the PDC. 5 courses were completed in the last quarter and there was one full Basics Completion.
Progress on Files Projects.
The CF Files Mission arrived in the org and has been working in tight coordination with the OTC to get the project done. In order to get more people active in the CF an Activation I/C and a Promo I/C were posted in the OTC. Weekly Newsletters for the CF Filing are being sent out by the OTC as well as routine mailings throughout the week to get people activated.
In order to get the number of CF helpers expanded, the OTC Chairman and D/Chairman worked out a game to get more people activated for the CF. This consists of a competition between all groups and companies in the field to get the maximum manpower onto the CF filing. The Chairman and D/Chairman started off this game by enlightening all of their company staff to do one evening of CF filing in the org with the entire company. This was promoted in the newsletters and attracted much positive attention. This has been very successful with the helpers increasing to 50 people per week and the hours on the CF filing doubled. Several OTC members were commended for surpassing 100 hours of CF work and one OTC member surpassed 400 hours. With lots of creative events such as Filing-Weekends with popcorn and movies at the end of the day, weekly OTC filing parties, etc. several projects were completed in the last quarter such as the PC folder project. With the CF project there has also been an increase of volunteer hours in the OTC with a Highest Ever in one week with 320 volunteer hours.
Getting New Public into the Org.
The OTC Lecturer continued giving his (WISE) lectures in the org to new public. Altogether there were 46 attendants to his lectures.
Good news on this was also the fact that the Church Academy (a Christian Church) asked for him as a Lecturer again. ½ a year ago he had given a lecture about WISE to a group of 20 students from the protestant Church Academy, which gained a lot of interest. He was now asked by the Church if he could give the seminar again as the next group of students is ready.
One OTC member started 2 new persons on Life Improvement Courses in the Tech Mission. Another OTC member started a new person on the Ups and Downs in Life Course.
There was really good news on Div 6 lines with a recent Div 6 Seminar held in the org. 5 people who came from the bookstands attended and there was an immediate First Service Start off of this.
Bookselling.
There was a lot of good news on Div 6 lines by one OTC member who sells LRH books via the Internet. She stated that the flows have really opened up. There are 3-4 books being sold via this Internet line every week at the moment. This OTC member then sent out a few invitations for a Hubbard Dianetics Seminar on this line and got very good inflow with 4 people visiting the mission for a Dianetics Seminar and 2 people starting Book-1 auditing right after the seminar.
Since the city changed their considerations and laws in regards to Scientology bookselling (in Stuttgart Scientologists were not allowed to sell books on the streets which was changed in summer this year), there have been regular Dianetics bookstands in the middle of the city which have been very successful and with which OTC members help regularly. Off of these bookstands people have come to Div 6 seminars in the Org and this has resulted in several First Service Starts.
Altogether 25 books were sold by OTC members in the last quarter.
IAS Fundraising Activities and major statuses made.
A big highlight on the IAS Fundraising activity was the achievement of the IAS target for Stuttgart at the end of November, which the OTC Chairman and some OTC Fundraisers had worked on with Org terminals. Part of the activity on this was the Germany Convention, which took place in Stuttgart. There were a lot of good originations and teamwork from the OTC, including 3 OTC members servicing the publics and staff fulltime throughout the convention and handling the kitchen and set up of the hall. There were 3 IAS Status completions produced by the OTC Fundraisers, including a new Patron, a Lifetime Membership and a Crusader. Several OTC members came forward and donated and also regged others. In a follow-up of the convention a new Patron Meritorious was made as well as a Patron with Honors consisting of 2 OTC members who are also business partners and did this status together. Altogether 50,000 Euros were regged by OTC members and Org staff during the convention and the majority of donations came from Stuttgart. The OTC and particularly the OTC Chairman were highly commended for their products by the org.
One OTC member stated that she had a huge win on her Patron status, which she paid at the Germany Convention. She stated that it somehow gave her a lot of power to have done that status and that this win is still continuing.
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
A TWTH info-stand was done in the center of the city and 800 booklets were distributed.
There was a lot of good news at Say No to Drugs info stands, which was also held in the centre of the city. At one info-stand there were 20 OTC members and public who produced a Highest Ever of 4,800 booklets distributed that day. This is a new Highest Ever of booklets distributed.
There were a lot of positive statements from people coming to the stand, including one father whose son has been to jail 3 times for drug trafficking and has reverted 3 times. He stated that his whole family despaired over the drug abuse of the son and this now gave him some hope and he appreciates what we are doing.
Another person, who is currently on a drug rehab in the hospital, took a whole bunch of booklets to distribute in the hospital. A teacher also took a bunch of booklets for her class and all info materials and asked for a lecture done by us for the class.
At another successful Say No to Drugs info-stand 3,200 booklets were distributed and there was also a lot of positive feedback from people coming by. An ex-junkie came by and took 15 booklets to bring to junkies he knows, to help get them off drugs. A woman who is working in the psychiatry department of a hospital, doing drug counselling came by and asked if this was from Scientology. She was told that this is one of the campaigns being paid for and done by Scientologists, and then she took 15 booklets.
A street musician came by and asked if we also take donations for this activity. He then donated 20 Euros as he felt this was the exact right thing to support.
Altogether there were 2,284 volunteer hours produced by OTC members in the last 3 months.

Every event is done according to a theme such as “Rock’n’Roll”, “Swiss Alliance event”, “Hunter fever”, “Swiss Freedom Event” or “Red Carpet (Hollywood)”, with appropriate costumes, artistic presentations and theatre shows. Many artists donated their artwork as a reward for the contributors to the ideal Org. Here is a description of an ideal org event held just recently. The theme was “Red carpet (Hollywood)”
The event hall was decorated with double portrait photographs – one half was featuring a famous actor or a celebrity and the other half was a portrait of a Humanitarian who looked similar to the celebrity. This was highly admired and created much positive attention. First FBO Zurich gave a short presentation on the results of Ideal Orgs planet wide.

TORONTO OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
The Toronto OT Committee has gone out the roof this last quarter on making New OT VIIs and VIIIs, and since the release of the Golden Age of Tech II, the OTC has been working on getting public into the org and onto services as appropriate. Ideal Org fundraising events have been continuing.
Actions taken to help Scientologists in your field to fully avail themselves of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II training and processing.
The OTC has had two meetings in the week of and two days since the release of the Golden Age of Tech II and immediately got into production by dividing up the 53 names of public who attended the events who are not on a course or service at the Toronto Org. A number of products have already been gotten of public routed into the org for Bridge Consultations and then onto Student Hats or Purifs, and so on. At the second OTC meeting, 12 OTs were added to the list to be recovered onto a service.
Of note, there has been stellar OT Bridge motion happening in Toronto: there have been 7 New OT VII completions (Diane Dobson-Smith, Rhona Shekter, Gwen VanKleef, Liz Zahari, Lina Luckman, Tony Pateropoulos, and Ed Standish) in the last quarter and 4 New OTVIIIs completed (Diane, Rhona, Gwen and Liz; Lina is on New OTVIII) and 2 new people onto New OT VII (Heather Coutain and Gary McKague). One New OT V (Nicole Crellin) was also created.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
The 26.10.2013 Ideal Org Event was held at Pie in the Sky Studio which was lavishly decorated and a fabulous catered dinner was served to the 62 public and 34 staff who attended. Beautiful leather jackets were presented to 25 Humanitarians and were very well received. A brand new inspirational Marketing Campaign designed by Olivia Wilkens was released. She also made a fabulous video about the reasons for donating to the Toronto Ideal Org which was very moving. $25,345 was put on the board.
Progress on Files Projects.
The Project I/C, Liz Zahari, was away finishing New OTVII and doing New OTVIII for a few months and the project went a bit onto hold in her absence. She is now back and restarting the project and gathering her people up again and getting them into the org to work on it. While she was away, the whole of CF had to be shuffled into a smaller space so as to make room for a bigger course room for the Golden Age of Tech II delivery. A bunch of public came in to help with that. It is now beautifully set up and ready to continue to prepare the files for the Ideal Org.

CANBERRA OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
Progress on Files Projects.
Canberra OTC appointed Martin Barnett as the new CF i/c. He has taken on this project with vigor and due diligence, recently adding another vital resource to the task with former CF & Addo Officer John Favaro. The org terminals working with the CF have already noticed the difference when they are now handling the files… there are data in there that are pertinent to the person they want to contact!!!
Canberra OT Committee supported Sydney org in their mammoth Files Project with 4 members making the 300k-journey volunteering approx. 80 hours in manpower which brought up the 25%-done-rate on pc folders rejuvenation to 50%!
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
YHR Canberra was very busy in this last quarter. The Canberra Cavalry Baseball League D/Manager contacted the local church a few months ago inviting them to come along to a major game in December and promote on of their social betterment activities. The D/Manager has worked with YHR L.A. in L.A. with great success and positive public feedback. It was therefore only natural for Canberra Cavalry Baseball League Australia to seek the same for Canberra.
YHR Canberra got busy organizing the information stall for Dec 7th. The workout included representatives from YHR to sing-in the game with the national anthem. The backup singers of no less then Kate Ceberano, Australian Celebrity entertainer and YHR Australia embassador, flew down from Melbourne to do take on this challenge: many thanks to Alison Ainsworth and Jessica Fairlie. The other contingency was for someone from YHR team to do – what’s called – the “first pitch off.” YHR thanks the youth who volunteered to do that, and a expert job he did!
The Canberra OTC assisted with a good show of hands with all the logistics and the tasks of the day. As a result they had 40 volunteers, some coming from 300km-away Sydney attending the game and putting time in at the tent to handing out Human Rights booklets and collecting signatures.
This particular petition is very specific and unique to the Australian Human Rights situation – it is asking for the Australian government to put in our own National Human Rights act, something that has been demanded by the public for some time, but so far the government has not complied. We intend to help make that happen with 100,000 collected signatures by next year.
On the next day Canberra YHR held it’s first ever Human Rights walk. The 40-person strong attendees met at a local prominent park alongside the city center’s main lake. Due to the recent passing of Human Rights activist Mr Nelson Mandela YHR i/c Renate Barton invited the South African High Commission to come along to help them dedicate this walk to Mr Mandela. (Mrs Barton had visited the High Commission last December introducing them to their YHR campaign program.) Human Rights i/c ANZO and 2nd Secretary to the High Commission of Sth Africa, Mr Nakabeni each in turn gave a welcome speech before setting off on the 40-minutes walk across Commonwealth bridge to Reconciliation place opposite Old Parliament house.
On conclusion of the walk more signatures were collected for Australia’s National petition. YHR i/c Canberra acknowledged and thanked the representative of the Sth African HC for his attendance and speech and presented him with an YHR T-shirt upon he commented, “that he now truly belongs to the team.”
These we activities resulted in an exposure of our Human Rights message to over 1,000 baseball fans, 550 HR booklets distributed and close to 100 signatures collected.
Recent Stellar Achievers.
Renate Barton, OTC Chairman, on OTVII, YHR i/c Canberra, for her hard work and professionalism in organizing the YHR weekend events Dec 7 & 8, 2013 resulting in broad exposure of our Human Rights message and ushering in the first ever Human Rights walk in Canberra.

JOHANNESBURG OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
What major activities, events, production and successes has your OTC had in moving Scientologists in your field move up The Bridge to Clear and OT?
The release of GAT 2 was the most exhilarating experience in history of Scientology and Joburg OTC members wasted no time in taking advantage of this golden opportunity to receive the Tech as LRH intended it. The GAT 2 event was held at a brand new auditorium in Fordsburg, Johannesburg, and was attended by several hundred Scientologists from both Joburg and Joburg North Orgs.
The atmosphere was intense as COB detailed the work that had gone into verifying and validating every piece of tech that LRH developed. The audience were at times in stitches from laughter, and at other times in tears, at the revelations made by COB on what had happened to the tech over the last 60 years.
Meantime, our OTC members have made full use of the mind-blowing news that going up the Bridge is cheaper and quicker than ever before. Warren Bruckmann and Isabella Ryan both arrived on service at ANZO to do OT levels, Diane Bruckmann returned from Flag on OT7, Shannon Green and Neil Singh started the Purification Rundown, Didi Singh started a Progress program and will then route onto the Purif.
Joburg OTC contributed majorly to Joburg Org’s 80 sign-ups immediately post the GAT 2 event, the highest in the Org’s history. A further 33 people signed up for courses in the week following the event (though not all from the OTC).
OTC chairman Renie Habib, OT Ambassador Sally Anne Cooke and our Basics I/C Marie Frankel were particularly active in recovering people back onto the Bridge and Basics during the quarter.
OTC volunteer hours on various activities – running the Purif for the Org, files projects, 4D campaigns, etc, amounted to 1,730 for the last 3 months. All OTC members were actively involved in call-in for the GAT 2 event, one of the best attended events in our history.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures
Our Basics recovery project continues to set the tone for the rest of the country, under basics I/C Mike & Marie Frankel. A total of 25 people were recovered onto the Basics during the quarter. Each OTC member was assigned 3 to 5 Basics students from the Joburg Field to recover, and the OTC member is required to keep in contact with these people and ensure they are moving and winning on their Basics. This has been done on a weekly basis and the Academy in the Org has started filling up, particularly since the launch of GAT 2. In fact, on some evenings there is no space for those listening to LRH lectures, so public have realised they have to get in early!
Basics recovery stats are monitored by the Basics Project administrator who gathers data from the Academy every Thursday. From these reports, we are able to maintain tight control on the public that are in the process of being recovered.
New names are given out regularly. The appointed OTC member stays in comm with his/her recovery ensuring that the public is progressing and winning on course. The project is driven by Marie & Mike Frankel, who took on the post of Basics I/Cs, and ensures that targets are being met, public recovered, and that OTC members themselves are cruising on their Basics.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs
Joburg Org OTC participated in several fund raising activities to raise funds for Joburg North Org, which is to be the next Ideal Org in Africa (and the second in Africa). The total amount of funds raised for Ideal Orgs over the last 3 months was $133,962. Our two-time Grammy Award winner Robin Hogarth, and Mike Frankel, continue to raise the bar in terms of their efforts to get all Orgs in Africa up to the level of St Hill size, so that AO Africa can open without delay. Robin spends dozens of hours each week, including travelling overseas, to assist in the Ideal Org fund raising drive.
The Joburg Alliance helped with numerous Joburg North fundraisers, including the Bollywood-themed fundraiser which – as the name suggests – had a particularly strong Indian theme. A total of R400,000 ($40,000) was raised, and was the best attended Joburg North fundraiser to date. Joburg OTC helped with set-ups and call-in for this fundraiser. This was followed with a very successful Halloween-themed fundraiser at Joburg Org called Witches and Wizards. Again, an amount of R400,000 ($40,000) was raised at this fundraiser. OTC member Robin Hogarth organised a concert at the fundraiser, where the children were given a chance to show off their acting skills. It was one of the most successful and hilarious capers yet put on by the OTC. Joburg North fundraisers are all very well attended by Joburg OTC members, who also routinely help with set-up and call-in.
Progress on Files Projects
Joburg OTC continued with its files project, focusing on the student and Org ethics filing. Sabina Laktionova is the I/C of the project and has arranged various public to help the OTC complete this task.
Bookselling
A total of 394 books were sold to public over the last three months, most of them by our star book seller, Dave Atkinson, who is also our top Power FSM in South Africa. The Joburg OTC took part in a bookathon where several books were sold.
IAS Donations
Joburg OTC also got behind the IAS campaign to bring sanity and LRH tech to the world. A total of $15,700 was raised by OTC members during the quarter. Nirvana Cooke (4D campaign project I/C) helped the IAS i/c, Alex Pinah, arrange an event at the LRH house, where 2 Lifetime memberships were sold. Karen Richards, Mike Stern and Don Moll (all from JHB org OTC became family patrons). Nirvana Cooke also raised $1000 from Victor Lopes for the IAS. More than half the Joburg OTC members are now Patrons!
4D Campaigns
Mike Stern from Joburg Org OT Committee arranged two Truth about Drugs talks at Geluksdal community centre. The second event resulted in the training of Geluksdal church group on how to disseminate the Truth about Drugs book and get drug education taking place in the community.
Fiona Caulder, 4D campaign project OTC member helped to distribute the Truth about Drugs booklets at a march organized by the Edenvale police. She distributed over 4,000 Truth about Drugs booklets.
JOBURG NORTH OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
Helping Scientologists in your field move up The Bridge to Clear and OT
The release of GAT 2 was a dream realised and created a huge revitalisation of the field. People who had not been seen for many years came to the event and they could be seen looking over the new E-meter, talking about the Basics and becoming part of the group again.
The Joburg North team arrived back from Flag and were presented to the field.
The day after the event the Org became busy setting up the Purif Centre, painting it, cleaning out the area and getting ready for the inflow. Our Flag-trained auditor has already got down to business and is auditing the field. Enquiries for the purif are coming in at about the rate of 5 per day.
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures, and through the complete Routes to Knowledge, and further services
Joburg North OTC member Hero Dresser has been supervising the Basics every morning while the Sups were overseas training. Saturday and Sunday schedules have also been set up by Hero to encourage more people to continue with their basics. Since the GATII event more and more people are moving faster on their basics and taking advantage of the extra weekend sessions.
Fundraising for Ideal Orgs.
The African Alliance has been revitalized and Joburg OTC has given great assistance to the events which have been held for the Joburg North Ideal Org.
OTC member Ken Humphries went to Pretoria Org to give them a briefing on the progress being made and also to get them revitalized about finishing off the Gauteng Ideal Org triangle before moving onto the rest of South Africa.
OTC Chairman Jean Gonsalves and Fund Raiser I/C and Deputy Chair, Philip Park attended a Joburg OTC meeting and thanked them for their continual help and further discussions were held regarding a future fund raising event to be held at Joburg North.
All the Joburg North Events are Alliance events. Joburg North has been very fortunate to have Sea Org member Kimberlee and Seb Howarth regularly at Joburg North OTC meetings. With Kimberlee, Seb and OTC Event theme I/C Mandi Walbaum amazing events were created and an amount of $133.962 was raised.
The events became so exciting with themes etc that on the confirmeds the percentages were 75% of those confirmed arrived. In the past it had only been between 25 and 35%.
Joburg North OTC together with Kimberlee and Mandi set the themes for exciting events. Joburg OTC assist tremendously with call ins.
A couple of the Events held were:
Bollywood- an amazing event, the majority of those who attended dressed in Bollywood attire and there was even a team of Bollywood dancers organised for the evening to assist further with creating the atmosphere. A total of R400,000 ($40,000) was raised.
Witches and Wizards was the next event. Joburg Org OTC member Robin Hogarth organised a concert at the fundraiser and where the children were given a chance to show off their acting skills. It was one of the most successful and hilarious capers yet put on by the OTC. Joburg North fundraisers. R400,000 ($40,000).
Progress on Files Projects
The mammoth project of getting the files from different areas of the org were collected together and the sorting began.
OTC Members Ashley Pillay, Ken Humphries, Philip Park and Jean Gonsalves are the regulars every Saturday morning. It was then a matter of getting these sorted files into accessible containers. John Abbot, OTC member, together with Philip Park, organized to get filing cabinets. This made the files accessible ready for Phase II and also created space in which to work.
Phase 1 is completed a huge target attained.
Bookselling
OTC members help regularly at the stress testing and in the International Stress test weekend, Joburg North was the top org on the planet for book sales during that weekend.
4D Campaigns
The Way to Happiness continues to be distributed by Carron Mancini and her partner to the Mine areas in and around Johannesburg. When the ‘uprising’ at the Marikana mine occurred (an international reported disaster) Carron and her partner drove down to the mine where the police and miners were fighting and distribute the Way to Happiness book in the thousands. They continue to distribute to other mines ensuring that no such incident happens again.
PORT ELIZABETH OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
Moving People Up the Bridge:
An amazing situation occurred within our OTC. We had a really gung-ho group of 5 OTC members in Port Elizabeth assisting in the Org and in the field, and they decided – what the hell – let’s all joint staff! So our OTC numbers may have dwindled a bit in the last few weeks, but our staff sign-ups are through the roof!
We have recruited 1 person in PE and had another prospect, but she too signed up for Staff.
Our Committee is at this point spread along the coast from East London to the North of PE (4 hours drive, one way) and George to the South of PE (also 4 hours drive away).
Helping Scientologists in your field onto and through the Basics Books and Lectures to get ready for Golden Age of Tech Phase II.
One public was recovered who had stopped doing his Basics about 1 year ago. He is back on his Extension Courses and is sending in Lessons daily.
Another girl has also been recovered. She is now doing very well and is having magic wins.
4D Campaign Activities (Truth about Drugs, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights, Way to Happiness, Volunteer Minister)
In Plettenberg Bay and George much work is done in getting TWTH Booklets out in the community. More than 1000 booklets are given out per week.

PRETORIA OT COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2013 REPORT
Helping Scientologists in the field to move up the Bridge to Clear and OT and helping Scientologists to get through the Basics
As an OT committee, the importance of moving up the Bridge to Clear and OT was emphasised in the following ways:
- Ensuring members of the Pretoria Field are moving up the Bridge both in the Org and in the Field. This has included 9 starts on the Bridge between Life Repair and NED processing

- Technical briefings have been given by members of the Pretoria OTC covering LRH tech related to Finance, Ups and Downs, the Bridge and Personal Values and Integrity, where the introductory courses were promoted, which resulted in courses being purchased by the public.
- At graduation, one of the OTC members gave a briefing on LRH Admin Tech.
- Another member of the OTC continues to Audit on OT VII and has recently been back to Flag for his 6 month check.
- Members of the public and the OTC continue on with the Basics.
Assisting in the building of Ideal Orgs
The Ideal Org Alliance meetings have been attended by Lee-Hazel de Bruyn, of the Pretoria OT Committee, as the representative from our committee. In addition, she has assisted with some of the setting op of the décor for Ideal Org Fundraisers. Other members of the committee have also attended some of these meetings, as well as some of the Johannesburg Fundraisers.
Book Sales:
The OTC member in charge of book sales, is Robbie Knott, who has assisted in setting up book-selling in shopping centres on a monthly basis.
Books have also been sold by other members of the OTC. A total of 36 books have been sold by these OTC members over the past 3 months.
Business Expansion Club:
A breakfast was held at the Pretoria Org, which was attended by about 12 members of public, a talk was presented by a business person where success was shared on the application of LRH Admin tech in his business.
An OTC member is working with the Royal families of South Africa to introduce LRH Admin tech.

Birthday Game
The OTC members support the birthday game and have a new OTC Committee member (Roelof Lategan) as the Birthday Game I/C for the committee.
The two orgs in Zimbabwe — HARARE and BULAWAYO seem to no longer exist in reality, though the “IAS” proudly announced they had purchased a building for Harare (I think) about 8 years ago…
How the OT committee schemed to take the last retirement savings of a ’70 year old new scientologist and staff member named Ethnie Ward’:
“Another key cycle was when the OTC collectively helped to push staff member Ethnie Ward over the line so as she could achieve the status of Humanitarian. Ethnie is 70 years old and quite a new Scientologist with a big heart. We held a group meeting and then Chairman Robert Lawson spent time with Ethnie which resulted in her finding the funds to complete the cycle – it was very theta!”
It was only a matter of several low-pay weeks before Miss Ward realized what a drastic mistake she had made. Now she ponders how she will survive the future penniless.
No org in London, Ontario, unless it is top secret.
Ottawa org exists – no report.
Thanks for your blog, Mike.
What an incredible treatise on the subject of dev-t, aka how to look busy, while utterly off purpose. (dev-t means, unnecessary and developed traffic) This has absolutely nothing to do with providing spiritual gains, to those who desire it, with dignity, respect, diligence and care. The title should read “spiritual bankruptcy”.

Pushed her “over the line” or “over the edge” I wonder? If 70 year old recent convert Ethnie’s got kids I wonder what they are making of this. Spending time with Ethnie until she ‘finds the funds’; would that be re-mortgaging the family home, cashing in the pension plan, maxing out on credit cards or all three perhaps?
How many decades has Scientology been at Saint Hill? And they still haven’t got past the stage of leafleting a few local towns. They can’t clear a county let alone the planet.
FOTF2012
Good work,the numbers don’t lie
Even if Scientology took in and retained 50 million per week
most would not live long enough to reach OT 8 because of arbitrary cross orders, price structure
and squirreled tech.
PAINFUL to read. BTW – Who remembers Milano Org circa ’82? “nuff said by that question alone…
The two things that stood out, from the bits I managed t o read, were the poor hapless guy who won a PORSCHE in a raffle, and was promptly regged to sell it in order to achieve being a Humanitarian!!!!
Jesus, what is humanitarian about that! That’s just DUMB! About as dumb as Ray Mifhoff and Guilaume Lesevre having to sell off their cars ‘because they were made in Germany’.
Then there was the Amsterdam report – the win was to show the public what a lovely view the new Ideal Org has overlooking the city….not just selling the public the line that MEST matters…but look at the view you get too!!!!
It’s all mad…the emphasis is that you should be getting 100% technical results…miracles as usual. Instead it’s all down to selling your prize car and looking at beautiful horizons. That group has lost the plot.
Mike,
There is only one word I can find which conveys the true essence of these reports:
Pathetic
I waded through some of those reports.
Here’s the reality: Earth’s population increases about 228,000 per day (that’s births minus deaths per day).
Therefore, Scientology would need to bring in (and retain) 228,000 people daily JUST TO KEEP EVEN with Earth’s population growth.
To “clear” the planet, the growth in Scientology would need to be many times 228,000 a day. Instead, Scientology is falling further and further behind.
If Scientology brought in (and retained) about 500,000 a day, Earth would be cleared in about a century (roughly calculated).
Of course, Scientology could turn that around immediately: just show the world even one clear as defined in DMSMH or one OT VIII as originally defined by Hubbard (at cause over MEST, life, and thought, both objectively and subjectively). Just one, objectively and scientifically verifiable clear or OT. Just one.
They do not want or need people in the Orgs.
They want donations. Does no one understand this?
Its like the Banking sector, who do not want customers, they simply want cheap Central Bank money to play the markets, manipulate share values and pocket commissions and here is where Scientology is like the Banks.
If it all goes belly up ask for, and get a bailout.
This is how all Pnsey schemes run

Re: Africa – One OT, who had been on the Briefing Course with LRH in the ‘60s, was heard to say “I will definitely be doing the Student Hat now!”
They must really be short on positive things to report.
Thanks Mike for getting the truth out. It has been a downward trend since the eighties with an upward bump when Hawkings and his unit got the Ads for the Dianetics campaign out.
Once again, I tried. I really did try to read this report. However, after 2 minutes I fell into one of the deepest naps I’ve ever had. I awoke refreshed and energized. Can’t thank you enough, Mike!
Glad to oblige….
omfckinggd, that is a Humongous Report.
Have you ever tried to get entered into the Guinness Book of Records for Longest Blog Post About $cientology?
I just added the Africa report. As usual, I didnt read it, but could not help noticing the proud announcement that the OTC had come to the rescue and “opened the Academy” in Durban org FROM 16:00 to 18:00. Amazing the truths that come out of the guileless.
tnx, Mike.
Well, well. These stats looks quite sad. I wonder how the orgs that did not submit stats (or whose stats were not incuded) did.
Mike, I understand you not wanting to actually read every word of the whole “report”.
Here is a summary:
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
There are probably a few more blahs but I lost count.
Thanks for the summary, Espiritu, you should apply for a job at CliffNotes. You are good at capturing the essence in a few words.
LOL!
LDW,
I noticed something wrong there too.
“65 people back onto their basics. This does not include resigns etc.”
Not only is is weird that there would be so many people blown from their “basics courses”, one might wonder what their stats (if any) are for “resigns”. They were not mentioned for some reason. Nor did I see any mention of new sign-ups.
Clever little mind-benders aren’t they?
It’s all about Fundraising. I just blurred by them as I scrolled down.
Thanks, Mike, for putting this in public record. Glad it’s there. Glad I didn’t read it all. 🙂 I scrolled through it all and saw that Fundraising for Ideal Orgs and Fundraising for IAS is prominent. Whew. Glad I’m no longer there.
Again.. you’re doing an AMAZING job, Mike. Thank you!
What Zana just said, Mike. Thanks.
Here’s a few stats listed for each org, a condensed version of what Mike posted.
UK Orgs
AOSH UK: One person did the Student Hat for the third time. 8 other OTs are doing Student Hat.
Birmingham Org: Moving people up the bridge is “in progress” because the “events happened so recently.” Now that’s planetary clearing.
Brighton: $2800 was raised for the ideal org this quarter. At this rate they will be able to afford the new e-meters for the org in another couple years or so. Little or no Book One auditing for raw public is happening, because the auditor hasn’t been able to move to the UK yet… so there will be some stats to report in “future quarters.”
HAPI: Two people were recovered this quarter… one an old-timer from the 1980s whose big Bridge progress was buying Book One. They raised a couple thousand for their Purif center.
London: A single nameless VIP was gotten in session, and they had a concert. They don’t even have any regging or fundraising to report.
Plymouth: A whopping £70, or $120 was raised for the ideal org. Estimated org completion date: the year 3000.
LATAM Orgs
ACD Mexico City: Six people started courses, and three people got back on their basics. A company forced 20-30 of its employees to take some intro courses. $50,000 was raised for the ideal org. Even at this seemingly fast rate, they still have at least ten years of fundraising to go. (It’d take them ten years to raise a paltry $2 million.)
Bogota: There are apparently 300 Scientologists in the whole country as that’s how many supposedly went to the events. There are at least 10 million active Catholics in Colombia.
Buenos Aires: 500 Scientologists in a country with at least 10 million active Catholics. The org sucked $38,000 from its ‘parishioners’ for the new building… so only 10-12 more years of fundraising to go.
Costa Rica: A guy went Clear and this was the big news. Costa Rica has 5 million people.
SCN Mexico Ideal Org: The OT committee got two people to start Student Hat, and got three people to go back on doing some courses . They raised $1,500 for other orgs. 6 raw public started a course this whole quarter.
ODD: At this Mexico City org, a guy went clear, and a guy started a course. They raised $18,000 for their ideal org. At a rate of $72,000 a year, a new ideal org is surely imminent.
Venezuela: The org leeched $100,000 for its new building. Not bad. But then the OTC brags that only 22 people could be arsed to attend an event with Saint Hill staff- 22 people in the entire country of Venezuela. And the org got three raw public this quarter.
Italy Orgs
Brescia: Ten people started new courses. They had a karaoke fundraiser for their ideal org, but apparently the funds raised were so miniscule they weren’t worth reporting.
CC Firenze: Apparently the Italy orgs are too embarrassed to report their Ideal Org fundraising stats from their “very theta” party events. This OTC hasn’t even gotten anyone into the org or onto courses, as they claim their “main production and activities have been on the 4th dynamic.”
Milano: 75 OTs in Milano, a city of 1.5 million. They brag about getting 16 new starts a week, whatever that means (I highly doubt they are pulling 800 new people into the org every ear). But even at that rate, it’d take them 2000 years to get all of Milan into the org. Still, they have good “cooperation” and “tone level” and “Div 4 stats are straight up and vertical,” whatever that means.
Monza: A whole $4,000 was raised for the org. Apparently they gave out a lot of booklets, but don’t have any real training or Bridge stats to report.
Padova: “A lot of Scientologists that were not coming anymore” came back to the org, apparently. Things are “more theta.” But apparently this booming Ideal Org could only swing “around 100 people” for its big events.
Roma: The OTC only saw fit to report two stats. First, they raised $50,000 for their building. Second, they put CCHR banners on 50 trees. Also, “a lot of people” started GAT II courses, a number so small it’s not worth reporting, apparently.
Sardegna: The OTC is proud to announce that the building is purchased. But for which org? I didn’t know there was a Sardegna org. Also, 3 whole people were recovered to Basics and intro Div 6 courses, so Sardegna is obviously on track to win the Birthday Game. And don’t miss out on Mike’s note… that apparently we have an org consolidation going on here, just like how CC London was shuttered and “consolidated.”
Torino: The OTC raised a bunch of money for the IAS. But when it comes to the Bridge and dissemination, their big action this quarter was to sell 36 books. And 16 “steps were done” on the Basics… meaning what, four people each checked off four things on their checksheets?
Verona: “Some new people have started their path in Scientology.” Here we have a really straight up and vertical stat.
Europe Orgs
Amsterdam: A fundraiser raised $400,000 in “pledges,” but only $5,000 in actual cash. The top FSM for the org got seven people to start the Purif, and got a guy to do some auditing. So he’s really been busy, I guess.
Angers: The OTC got three lost public recovered to come to the events. Five people bought their new e-meters. The Ideal Org fundraising apparently wasn’t a big enough amount to be worth mentioning.
Athens: One person in all of Greece became an OT VIII this quarter. Only 11.5 million to go.
Barcelona: One guy went OT VIII, another guy went Clear, and some guy is really proud of finishing R6EW, something I have never seen reported as a big brag stat before. The org raised a massive $2,600 for its new building.
Basel: 35 people came to Ideal Org pizza parties. In eight paragraphs rambling on about the food and games at the orgs, not one stat about how much money was raised… just a lot of blather about how “30 dedicated beings” will “never forget this miraculous event.” I guess the cheese and the pizza must’ve been good. Oh, also, 2 books were sold to raw public this quarter.
Berlin: 4 people started the Basics. One person started on their Grades. One couple bought new e-meters.
Bern: One person came in to the org out of curiosity and got an OCA done this quarter. 54 books were sold at bookstands.
Brussels: Two people finished Method One co-audit. One person started Student Hat. Two people finished the Basics. They raised $6,000 for their org. At least these guys were gutsy enough to report actual stats, even if those stats were minuscule.
Budapest: Four OTs each checked off a few things on their checksheets. Three people finished OT VII. Supposedly, 50 new public started courses. Only 9.9 million Hungarians left to reach.
Copenhagen: One person was recovered and was “totally blown out” by the events, and might start the Purif. “Several” people finished OT levels. 2 raw public came in and did a couple of courses. 2 people joined staff. Note that this report is both for the regular org and for the AO.
CC Dusseldorf: I had no idea there were so many celebrities in Dusseldorf. Anyway, apparently 60 people are on the Basics and 10 raw public came into the org to start services. The org was very proud that it got 40 people to show up to a big CCHR event.
Dusseldorf: I’ll bet you cash money this will be consolidated with the CC within the next couple years. Anyway, one OT finished a single ACC. Two others “made progress” on their ACCs. One raw public started a course after coming to a lecture.
Frankfurt: Four people finished OT levels. Apparently they are very proud that Frankfurt has 23 OT VIIIs. Only 700,000 more people in Frankfurt to go, guys. 2 raw public started courses, so they are really making progress fast.
Geneva: No Ideal Org fundraising happened, but one guy decided to take on the hat of “Dissemination Secretary.” 2 raw public started courses this quarter and bought five books.
Gothenburg: The org raised $2,000 for their new building. One person finished their Basics. Another guy finished an ACC and finished OT V. A third guy did PDC. Big progress being made.
Hamburg: A couple of people started the new Student Hat. Two people went to Flag for the events. 8 people started some sort of Bridge service.
Lausanne: Supposedly 35 public are at Flag. This is mentioned as being a big deal, so we’ll be conservative and guess that’s what, a third of their public? 100 Scientologists in Lausanne, maybe. But these guys should be proud: they rounded up $225,000 for Miscavige’s IAS fund, so good going on that one.
Munich: There are 30-40 OTs and supposedly 500-600 Scientologists in this city of 1.4 million. 15 new public came to some concerts held at the org, but no report on whether any of them actually bought any courses.
Paris: One lady finished one intro course and a congress. One guy who stopped his OT VI progress a few years ago might go to Flag to finish it. One 80 year old lady decided to buy some intensives to finally finish OT V. They gave out a ton of fliers, but no news about any new public starting.
CC Paris: Why is this an org? Anyway, it’s big news to get one guy recovered on his basics, and 10 people recovered to come see an event. Sixteen people started Student Hat, another started the Purif, and one decided to start paying money for future intensives. “Several” people finished OT levels. Only 2.5 million Parisians to go.
Madrid: Not one actual stat listed in the entire report, just a lot of vague platitudes about bringing in “lots of public” and having “very theta and artistic” events.
St. Petersburg: In “affluence” in the Basics. A couple new raw public came to a seminar and asked some questions.
Stockholm: “Public have started on services” after the events and “several others are planning to start.” But not one single stat regarding Bridge progress or raw public.
Stuttgart: Very proud that they are the only German org big enough “to have a Day and Foundation.” A couple people bought e-meters and started the new Student Hat. One OT VIII went to Flag to do Objectives and was miraculously healed and able to walk. Another guy finished OT VII. Two new Clears in a city of 700,000.
Tel Aviv: One poor soul donated $300,000 to the IAS and regged $200,000 from others (getting $20,000 for himself). The group is proud that they made phone calls to schedule 114 separate appointments for public, and “65 academy recoveries were done.” Keep in mind that this does not mean 65 people. And even if it did, we are talking about recoveries here. Not one single stat listed about raw public.
Vienna: The OTC “contributed to the buffet” for the GAT II event, whatever that means… they brought sausages, maybe? One guy was recovered for the basics. All quarter, they put in 228 particles into CF folders. This means they probably cleaned up what, 5-10 folders?
Zurich: 6 people finished an OT level. One person finished L12. Apparently 400 people came to the events. If so, why aren’t the OT completions higher?
Canada Orgs
Montreal: A few fundraisers were held but apparently the amount they raised is not worth mentioning. 100 people participated in a CCHR march. A guy did a couple of seminars on the Les Dane book.
Quebec: 35 people came to OTC events. They raised $6,000 for other Canadian ideal orgs. 2 new public started services all quarter. 10 books were sold.
Toronto: 12 people finished OT levels. But apparently, there are also 12 OTs out there who have bailed on the org who are on a list “to be recovered.”
Vancouver: Ten people were sent to Flag to go to the events. No report on Bridge progress or on raw public, just fundraising blather.
ANZO Orgs
AOSH ANZO: Two people finished their Basics. Two raw public started the Purif and Life Repair.
Canberra: Not one word about Bridge progress, raw public, or fundraising… just a lot of jibber-jabber about a CCHR event they did where they handed out 500 booklets at a baseball game and got 100 people to sign a petition.
Sydney: There are apparently only a little over 200 public at this org, as the OTC is very proud that they got 200 to agree to volunteer on pointless CF file paperwork. Not one word about raw public in this update, though they are very proud they sent a dozen teenagers to the Freewinds to do a course together.
Perth: One woman started the Purif. 22 books were sold. One family gave some money to the IAS. That’s it.
Tokyo: 11 people finished OT levels. Well, 10… one guy got partway through OT VI. Only 35 million more people to go in the Tokyo metro area.
Wow — gold star award to Truth Revealed. Thank you so much for making this halfway confrontable.
^^^ What he said – thanks!
Thank you Truth Revealed for taking the drivel out of the reports and laying bare the actual facts.
Stellar achievement, thank you so much for the summary. To me the news coming out of the bubble sounds like they are coming out of non-existence (I don’t know what reports were like 10 years a go). It sounds like the beginnings of renewed success. Time will tell whether the upwards trend will continue.
What I do find telling is that some of these orgs have been around for 40+ years, yet can muster a field of no more than 300-400 people. That’s an average influx of 7-10 people a year who stick around for more. In Scientology it is usually the “suppressive media, government, churches and psychs” who are to blame for its lack of expansion. Scientology, the only group with the technology and confront to recognise and handle SPs, is strangely fragile.
Renewed success…coming out of Non-E!
The drivel in the reports above is standard word-smith stuff. Padding. These guys are all of them in group confusion…they’re all mixed up. Un-patterned flows and so on
Great summation. And I still don’t understand why the burden of delivery, recovery and book sales and marketing and real estate and begging is on the public, except that all of the staff must be too busy fundraising.
All in all bloody pathetic!
Expansion ? looks remarkably like contraction to me
What’s with the Canberra bashing? I was ED there once. Even go the place to thirty staff or so. And zero dateline. They fired me of course.
Mate! What do you expect?
One big generality. Things like “worked on” show no real products. Anyone ever show these idiots the policy on Progress reports?
“They did an amazing job and between the Basics Project, and the OTC Recoveries Project run by OT 8 Hanny Barram they recovered over 65 people back onto their basics. This does not include resigns etc.”
Well, pretty interesting that there were 65 blown students who could be recovered. Wonder if the same group will need to be re-recovered next month. I guess it doesn’t matter, because if they don’t have any blown students, how can they take credit for recoveries?
I would guess that they currently have far more blown students than students who haven’t blown.
There are so many glaring out points in these reports that it would be impossible to really do an eval. Just as a guess, since I don’t really care about them anymore, I would say that the OTC members have learned the fine art of glutz PR and glowing, but FALSE reports from their fearless leader. They all seem to be on board the same train named Delusion.
Yeah, 65 people recovered back onto their Basics is really quite some unwitting admission. Wonder how many more still need recovering.
1,639,064 booklets distributed and 1,182 books sold in one day in London per the New Years event video – yet no mention of this stellar production at all here in a report which manages to scrape up and hype even the most insignificant and mundane of ‘products’. Yet another omitted outpoint.
And if the CF filing and merge with CC is as reported, why are the Life Improvement and STCC course rooms on the first floor exclusively occupied by tons of blue bankers boxes instead of students?
Even the recovery of a 10-year blown public takes on a different complexion when you consider he’s been on the org chaplain’s recovery list for about that same time, ie; it’s taken almost 10 years to get that one product!
Doing the math and spotting the outpoints. Good one LDW!
Any and all Scientology parishioner get-togethers seem now also organized by “Open Hands”. Can’t get any social venue going in the field unless it also involves fundraising, otherwise it’s woggy-wog, out-ethics and off-purpose. How about an “At-Home” fundraiser birthday party for your kid? All presents must be in monetary form, and the birthday boy happily remits it to the Ideal Org and given a round of applause in exchange. Invited neighbour kids are taught to play “Show me your pockets” and practice drawing on “Fun-papers” which mention a billion years.
How far can the CO$/IAS/Ideal Org dollar be encroached into your life?
I can see why you couldn’t read it all. A lot of words about Nothin’, really. I have this idea that they will never get the files completed, because if they did the shelves would be almost empty.
Seems like the” Universe” AKA The real World is watching the Super Bowl.
Fundraising events OMG some fish will bite on any bait.
I can only imagine how pissed they are that these eye-opening internal reports keep getting leaked to you. Keep up the good work Mike, it’s greatly appreciated!
