How low can an "ideal org" go? Putting out a promo piece about two people completing an Intro Course is a pretty good measure. There should literally be dozens, if not hundreds of these completions every week. And if there were hundreds, they would still be 25,000 years away from "clearing Oregon" as a hundred basic course comps might translate into 20"Major Comps" and that in turn probably translates into 2 clears a week. 100 a year. But to get the real answer about how low it can go, there is this: Wow, that booming field is really "Clearing Portland" … [Read more...]

The Danger of Niacin
I note at the outset, I am not a chemist or biologist. But I can read. This post was prompted by the ongoing saga of Narconon's implosion and many recent comments that niacin can be dangerous. I didn't pay a lot of attention as the comments usually went along with noting that it can be dangerous to sit in the sauna for too long. And my view of that is Duh. Walking across the street is dangerous too. The claims for the wonders of the Purif may be typical scientology style hype, but the program itself seems generally benign and helpful. How can exercising, going in the sauna, sleeping … [Read more...]
The Latest Scientology PR Foolery
Scientology appears to believe they can now tell the citizens of Clearwater what movies they can watch. Another PR footbullet from scientology. I wonder if COB Theaters are ready for the backlash for buckling to scientology's "threats" not to show the film? It's still on their website even.... Wonder if they might change their minds about being scientology bitches when word gets out? And I wonder how this is going to effect the Academy Award voters. This is REALLY dangerous territory to be censoring movies. If there was not already a backlash in Hollywood, this might bring it … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
CF has its own newsletter! It's taken on a life of its own... But OMG, after all this time they have done 2500 out of 65,000. At this rate it's at least another 10 years of work. Luckily they are not generating much new filing to be done so perhaps they may eventually catch up. A=A=A Somehow the psychs take precedence over anything. What if there are life-saving drugs that cure diseases that are delayed? It doesn't "covertly" include ANYTHING. FDA regulations for testing drugs are very transparent and you can see every drug ever tested or under testing at … [Read more...]
Cause Over Matter, Energy, Space, Time, Force, Form, Location and Life
Nothing over the top here. And yet people will tell you that L. Ron Hubbard DIDN'T make absolute claims about OT and scientology doesnt make promises to achieve unrealistic things and that scientology doesn't falsely represent itself... Of course, there is always wiggle room - this statement means some "future" OT level is where it's going to be achieved -- even though those future OT levels don't exist. It was all supposed to be "OT VIII" and the release was delayed from 1970 because it was so powerful... But, nevertheless, this IS the pitch the church uses. It's why it is the quote … [Read more...]
Narconon – Introducing Them To “Our Tech”
The big push is on -- open the unwanted Narconon "celebrity/VIP" centers across the world so Miscavige has something to talk about at the IAS Event. This is the latest. Narconon Ojai... It's been a long time coming, but the heat is on now, because it's just a month til the IAS event. Tony Ortega first reported on it way back in April 2014 (where I predicted it would be a Celeb/VIP Narconon)... And while Narconon, ABLE and the church scream like stuck pigs when the plaintiffs in the numerous lawsuits filed over abuses in Narconon claim they are part of "scientology" and are controlled by the … [Read more...]
Click Here For Commendation
The crassness has reached new lows. "Do" minimally $100 and "CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR COMMENDATION." Those commendations must really be something.... (you can see my version above) John Oliver was right once again on his show last night. If you want to give money to a fake church, give it to scientology. Like most SO members, she doesn't seem to be too good with math. Correctly noting there are 7.365 BILLION uncleared people on earth, she figures they need "thousands or millions" of auditors. Afraid thousands isn't going to cut it. Even a million means each … [Read more...]
Going Clear Emmy Sweep
It was a rough night for Dear Leader. First, Going Clear was presented an Emmy Award for best documentary, best director and best writer. Bam. Tons of media coverage about it. But I loved the quote at the end of this article: Regarding a possible followup, Gibney noted, “There’s a lot more material already that I’ve received, more to come out — and so far the IRS has not revoked its [tax-exemption] protection so there’s a lot more to be done.” Alex Gibney is a REAL champion of human rights -- not because someone handed him a certificate that says so after he handed … [Read more...]
Unlimited Expansion And Prosperity
This email went out one minute before the scheduled start of this "seminar." They dun cansulled it. Maybe not so much unlimited expansion and prosperity for the seminar leaders. One of two things happened: 1. Nobody showed up. 2. Message from on-high that having NSO's doing seminars in the all-SO pride of the Miscavige fleet, LA Org is a no-no. Given the timing of the email, I would guess the former. But it could well be the latter. Sooner or later Dear Leader is going to blow a gasket about the fucking DB NSO's doing seminars and then someone is going to have to … [Read more...]
