The Best Scientology Fundraising Event Is A Front-Page-Headline Disaster – Paris Edition
Scientology is busily engaged in one of their favorite pass-times. Using a tragedy to squeeze money out of people. And you can bet the below example is just one of many pitches being made. The IAS is no doubt having a great week. As I commented earlier today, the scientology fundraisers motto is: The best type of fundraising event is a front-page-headline tragedy. Here are a few facts: WTH booklets cost about 10c a piece to print, so the 250,000 copies for Paris is a $25,000 investment. Double it for inefficiency, shipping and handling and call it $50,000. The WTH Foundation … [Read more...]
A Shoop Is Worth 1000 Words
Sent to me by a Special Correspondent last night. Nothing further need be said. And no sooner had I posted this than I saw this from Marc Headley on Twitter. Seems to be a trend... UPDATE: Here is another one. Access Hollywood interview with Leah. 43,905 views. And who is PAYING to place their ad to try and take advantage of Leah's prominence? It's always a little satisfying when liars are caught lying! And just because.... And finally... … [Read more...]
ASHO Promotion
This is a recent email ASHO sent to SHSBC Graduates. The Snr C/S apparently doesn't have enough work to do, so is writing letters. He valiantly tries to worm his way around the fact that ASHO no longer delivers the Briefing Course -- it's no longer the home of the Briefing Course it is now the "home for all Briefing Course alumni to get training and processing" and "the top Survival Rundown delivery unit on the planet." This is like an email from Harvard to alumni if Harvard had been closed down as a university and converted into a Grade School. The straight up and vertical ideal PAC … [Read more...]
More Proof Scientology Is Not Expanding
Every day things arrive in my email from people around the world that highlight the absurdity of the scientology bubble. Many of them concern the claimed "straight up and vertical" international expansion Miscavige talks about at every event. You know, international expansion greater in the last 437.3 days than the 12,469,873.2 minutes cumulative previously... 12 million scientologists. New orgs opening everywhere. Governments fully adopting scientology. LRH tech pervading society. More awards for Hubbard than any many or beast in history. Square inches of new marble inlaid. … [Read more...]
Wise Getting In On The Boogie Man Pitch
It is a time honored tradition that creating enemies and instilling fear is an effective method of fundraising. It's much easier to get money by preaching hellfire and brimstone than to appeal to people's benevolence to support the good works you do. It's the difference between the TV evangelist and the Salvation Army. Per capita the TV evangelist extracts orders of magnitude more from their marks. Scientology has refined this technique and employs it from someone's first contact to their last dollar. Imagine if you had no "Ruin" and were not convinced you had a reactive mind ravaging y … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Hurricane Leah
Hurricane Leah is blowing Miscavige's house down. It is stunning that her book jumped immediately to the TOP of the NY Times Bestseller list. Scientology will likely tell their sheeple it is a reflection of the public "demand" for what they have to offer. It's an old refrain. "Any publicity is good publicity." "Just as long as you spell our name right." Blah blah blah. Reminiscent of Monty Python's black knight proclaiming "it's just a flesh wound" when his arms have been chopped off and "we'll call it a draw" when his legs are gone too. In truth it is a reflection of the public's … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Spelling Bee So the trained ones are the smart ones? Guess that doesn't include learning how to spell "gotten." Thanksgiving breakfast? Breakfast? With all male chefs -- now that's a real selling point. I guess.... The Graduation of All Time This is how they promoted the graduation where COP announced GAG II for Solo NOTs... And along with it was the come-on for the Clearwater NN opening the next day Wacky... CF-A-Thon And other important activities... Wouldn't be an "ideal org" without a … [Read more...]
Flag Stats – Epic and Monumental
The latest collection of reports from Flag. Remember, these reports ONLY come out when they have "good news" -- the weeks there is no report the stats are no doubt bad. They used to report the number of Clears Made per week, but stopped mentioning this for the last 4 "Good News" briefings. I guess the "Clears" have dried up. Months ago they stopped reporting on Purif and Objectives (once they have skimmed the cream of the redo's by locals). Also be aware that these graphs go from the RELEASE of Super Power (Green line) and Running Pgm (blue line). So, naturally there … [Read more...]
