One year of production. It tells you how insulated these people are from the real world. They put out these stats as if they are so monumentally, epically milestoney that they deserve their own poster. Remember 200 SO Org members were imported into this org to take it over. It is promoted throughout the scientology bubble as the "model" that everyone is striving for. The org that was awarded, by Dear Leader himself, the special status of "Double St Hill Size." This is the org that Andres Rodriguez toured around promoting -- "700 new people starting on service each week." That … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
It's Halloween and the IAS Event all mixed up. There's a reg waiting for you behind every gravestone. Freddy Kruger and the Texas Chainsaw guy are movie characters. Those IAS regges are real. Makes for a week of fine funnies... There's nothing kids like more... I attended a local Halloween event where all local organizations and businesses were giving out Trick Or Treat candy. The CCHR tent gave them a DVD. They probably collected $20,000 to hand out DVDs which were all thrown in the trash. Distrubute... The Super Bowl is a fundraising opportunity … [Read more...]
Miscavige Goon
Apparently Footbullet Dave can never be satisfied with shooting himself just once or twice. He just has to keep blasting away like Yosemite Sam on steroids. A normal person would learn their lesson and not repeat the same idiocy again. But that would be the logic of mere mortals, not big beings like Dave . He "knows" when something he has ordered blows up in his face that it was only because the constant parade of SPs he has working for him have once again deliberately sabotaged his genius plans. So he has them "get it right this time" and do it again. The Squirrel Busters blow up in h … [Read more...]
Amazon Ain’t No Scientology
My old friend, Andy Porter, sent me this article. It's an eerie look at scientology from a different perspective. What I find especially interesting is the fact that this gave rise to an outraged piece in the New York Times, yet, as you will see, the conduct they deemed worthy of a lengthy article pales in comparison to scientology. I would probably have added a parenthetical note to Andy's title -- Amazon: The New Scientology? (Not even close...) That said, Andy is a great writer and draws many excellent parallels. Amazon: The New Scientology? Back in August I heard about … [Read more...]
Super Hyper Power
These emails get stranger and stranger. Don't these people ever notice the contradictions in their statements? Call on me, so that I can help you convert that money into something really valuable and long-lasting... Well, if money is invaluable, then why is it that you are grubbing for it always? And why won't you accept anything OTHER than money before a service is delivered? But that isn't the real point. It is the "success story" that is included that is REALLY bizarre. Talk about unicorns and rainbows. “I had become almost instantly extremely sane and I dare s … [Read more...]
Stacy Francis Reaches Out
I wonder if Stacy Francis considers herself a scientologist or a member of the NOI? Or are they one and the same? Or is she neither? The scientology poster girl and Tom Cruise serenader is delivering messages from Louis Farrakhan? Which way does this woman roll? Based on her public statements and actions, it seems to depend on where the perceived advantage for Stacy Francis is... But regardless of the answer to that puzzle: Taking advantage of the Lamar Odom tragedy to try to get a foot in the door.... with a tweet. That's just crass no matter who you are. … [Read more...]
Puerto Rico – More Ideal Org Fail
These bubbledwellers are so condescending. And I doubt they are even faintly aware of it. "There is not one Puerto Rican who does not have a desire to do better..." Among other statements. And her grammar, vocabulary and understanding of geography is about 5th grade level. Puerto Rico is "off the cuff" of the US? An ideal org in Puerto Rico is "our way to really create a huge WTH movement across all the Western Hemisphere" But the really good news -- Puerto Rico is only "1.4 million miles away" from buying a building. Why they don't just say dollars really is bizarre. If … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
It's hard to top a letter from a scientology lawyer, but here we go... It's Epic. World-Changing. Powering Up The Planet. Every event has to be more over the top than the last one. Where can they go next? They already sound like they are writing copy for Marvel Superhero comics. Mad magazine? Aren't they ideal already? How can their files not be filed? They are "ideal"??? Big Weekend? This what passes for a big weekend in HAPI. A professional FSM comes to try and squeeze some commissions out of your few sad public? But don't worry, he will literally jolt … [Read more...]
