Remember back in early July the "new" Clear Certainty Rundown was announced. It was version 3 of something that Miscavige had earlier brought "totally in tech" and "exactly as LRH wanted it." And at the time, there was much hype about how every org is sending a "Clear Certainty Team" to Flag for a fast training program. Only take a week or two. Well, now nearly 2 months later only ONE team has apparently completed and returned to their org in WUS. And you can bet they are ahead of the non-US areas, and probably EUS too. This is typical of any of these training programs at Flag. They run … [Read more...]

Good News From Flag — Stats Straight Across And Horizontal
Since the release of GAG II, various Special Correspondents have been forwarding the somewhat regular "Good News" briefings from Flag. Over the course of that time (nearly two years now) I have received a total of 37 of these reports. They have skipped some weeks and the intervals between them are irregular, but just as an aggregate they show the big picture of the "expansion" that has occurred at Flag since the advent of GAG II and the opening of the $200 million SP Building. I graphed these figures as you can see below (along with the latest reports following that). I stopped graphing … [Read more...]
Where’s The IAS When You Need Them?
I thought the 4th Dynamic Campaigns were funded by the IAS? They say it often enough in their magazine and at their events. What the hell does this "rock and fortress of humanity" do other than take money from people and give them gaudy trophies? Here is Barbara Kalergis begging for people to donate shit for a "garage sale" to raise money to fund Criminon, right there in the home of the largest concentration of scientologists on earth and the home of IAS Administrations, and Criminon International and ABLE International. Surely the IAS could toss Criminon the coins that fall between … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Wrong Plane This should have been a DC 8 not a DC 3. And that is an awfully slow way to travel, the WW II era DC3 is not renowned for its speed.... Just a month or so ago, Andres was touring around as Snr CS WUS. Wonder if his coverage on the fringes of the internet got him in trouble? The greatest push in the last 2500 years Seems just a bit overhyped... Makes you wonder what the push was back in Mesopotamia in 600BC The event went on for 8 hours... Bet none of these photos were taken when it ended. This is an ideal org? They can list everyone who is … [Read more...]
Miscavige Media Madness
A few days ago I posted something about David Miscavige's response to the Tampa Bay Times -- Miscavige Media Handling. And now this. An article published in Business Insider yesterday continuing the discussion about John Oliver's brilliant piece on televangelists and tax exemption. (And, in case you missed it, Oliver took another jab at scientology in his show last Sunday). What is remarkable here is not the article itself. It contains virtually no new news other than an inaccurate statement from Anthony Ole, the president of Trinity Foundation where he seems to think sci … [Read more...]
Finally, Scrooge Subsidizes Valley Idle Org
It's just too damned embarrassing. Even though they STILL haven't made their "ballpark figure" to able allowed to get started on getting a final figure for construction, it seems Uncle Scrooge McDuck is going to chip in the last few million and get them rolling. (Though it could be that this is just another of their numerous false promises about how close they are to being done....) But it seems unlikely because this is the pattern happening around the world now. They will keep squeezing the local orgs for everything they can get out of them, but in the interim, Scrooge has opened … [Read more...]
Scientology Internet Fail
Try as they might, scientology is incapable of accomplishing any positive results on the internet. Miscavige shows "stats" at his events like "people look up scientology every 1.63 seconds" or "we have 627Xed the reach for our programs on the internet" or other completely meaningless statements. All the while they continue to raise money for the "KCET studios" because this facility will allow scientology to "take over the internet." Miscavige has spent a LOT of money to create a video driven website at scientology.org. And probably more money paying than that to click farms in India and … [Read more...]
Purif Promises
Really? The Purif is going to prevent blood brain disorders? Skin cancer? Reproductive problems? They are actually claiming the the Purif is the "solution" -- no, the only solution to the bisphenol you accumulate from drinking for plastic water bottles that can cause cancer? And the kidney/liver damage you are suffering from associating with Mr. Clean. This is based on NOTHING. But promoted as truth. Surely there is some prohibition against making these sort of fraudulent assertions? When challenged on it, scientology claims this is a "spiritual" program. When they think nobody is … [Read more...]
Miscavige Media Handling
I have been noting for some time now the strident, arrogant and often bizarre responses to the media that emanate from David "Karin Pouw" Miscavige. And here is the latest response to a small piece in the Tampa Bay Times. Interesting he is so infuriated about the media mentioning that a politician and his wife are at the Ft. Harrison. Why? Well, the simple answer is that being associated with scientology is such a terrible stain on you, that Miscavige feels the need to "attack, never defend" the reporter who made note of these facts. How strange. It's a … [Read more...]
