Best gift ever... Pay for them to attend one of our fundraising dinners where they will be hounded and harassed until they have turned over anything they have... OT IX and X on the brink of release How do we know? Because the "OTC Production Secretary" announced it. Funny, Dear Leader usually likes to take credit... Celebrate the Sucesses [sic] There are only about 10 words on this -- and they still cannot spell them right. Ensuring mankind has a future Nothing conceited about this. Cambridge "ideal" org can't reach beyond the sidewalk... Mega … [Read more...]

The Latest Con
The cons just keep rolling in. Though they also have an element of armed robbery. You are presented with a unilateral dictate "here is how things are now, and that means you have to turn over more money to us." This one is a new angle I hadn't seen before. In "celebration" of the "golden" age of tech, they have issued NEW Clear and OT bracelets -- "in accordance with LRH's precise instructions." Of course, they cost an arm and a leg. But tough. It's all justified when it is making "planetary clearing a reality." The old ones are no good any more. And Colin Davie, the robot … [Read more...]
The Latest Big Lie (to Get Your Money Of Course)
This one is a monster. Give your money to the US IAS Member Trust and you are "supporting the most effective humanitarian campaigns in the world that are truly saving lives every day." Every part of this is a lie. The "US IAS Members Trust" is not "the IAS" according to scientology when they are trying to defend themselves in lawsuits. It is a "trust" that serves no function other than as a repository of funds. But, I must admit, that is a nitpick. Especially when compared to the rest. The most effective humanitarian campaigns in the world. Seriously? Not even sure what they put in … [Read more...]
Scientology Fundraising — The Reality
The below mailing is sent out by scientology as a big success: Take out loans. Stretch your finances beyond what any sensible person would do. Go deeply into debt. And then somehow it all works out due to a windfall that was completely unexpected. What a way to handle your money? Doing exactly what L. Ron Hubbard said NOT to do, so you can be really "on Source" and hand over everything you own, and more, to the great scientology cause (of course "ideal orgs" are totally "squirrel" according to Hubbard, but that is not what the sheeple are told). Insanity. What about the 100 or 100 … [Read more...]
New New OT VI No Longer Requires A PhD
You will be thrilled to hear the magnificent breakthroughs that have been made now with GAG II reaching the very top of the bridge. The old, crappy, altered versions they have been selling now for 30 years have been replaced, for the third time, with all new, much better stuff. These announcements sound like old laundry soap ads -- "2X whiter", "you won't believe how bright your colors are", "now with super cleaning power", "amazing suds/theta boster", "much longer lasting and faster too"... Here is a new email explaining it all from our old friend Sandy Dodwell. I highlighted some … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Questions, questions.... Anything with very deep pockets. As long as they have their own bank accounts... If you are prepared to ante up before you leave... in which case we would LOVE to see you. Yeah right.... Still working on CF. That is the "model" ideal org. Nothing is free Not even making gingerbread houses. How pathetic. The Dating Game It's migrated to EUS now... Food, glorious food... wow, it's dessert AND dinner. Better be prepared to … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Big Time Brown-nosing
I mentioned this in passing before but have not had time to go through and provide commentary on the Impact magazine featuring the annual IAS event. But I could not leave this tidbit til after XMas. If Saturday Night Live or John Oliver set out to satirize the fawning worship of money in scientology again, they would be hard pressed to come up with anything that tops this. The IAS event in the UK, and the annual Gala dinner the following night, are the biggest moments in the fundraising year in scientology. They are the single most important day on the scientology calendar now, far … [Read more...]
The “Golden Age” of Narconon and Idealiness
Everything in scientology these days is about "ideal" and "golden age" -- terms that are bandied about constantly. Narconon is apparently experiencing a "golden age" that appears to be a measure of how many people die in their facilities, multiplied by the number of lawsuits filed against them, plus the total of zoning variance application rejections x inches of entheta media. It's straight up and vertical. Hip hip hooray. We have seen the magnificent "grand openings" of "ideal" Narconons in Clearwater, Baton Rouge and yesterday on the Bunker it was Eslov in Sweden -- apparently a one man … [Read more...]
The Scientology Circular Bridge to Nowhere
How pathetic is this? They try to make it sound so wonderful -- after years (likely decades) and many hundreds of thousands of dollars, the big news is the "excitement" of doing the Purif and SRD over again. And then, the "wins" of redoing the Student Hat and "the Basics". Apparently, the pinnacle of scientology today is the bottom of the Bridge. The PhD's of scientology are promoting the "wins" of going back and redoing Primary School as if they are so much more important now that they have attained the highest available levels. It used to be that the "prerequisites" for each OT … [Read more...]
