We Are Hiring Anyone for anything. If you are willing to sign a billion year contract we will take you as long as you are breathing. Read this... The first para is Shermanesque. You finish reading it and feel confused. It does not end. The second para is the big reveal that there are universities in Boston and the org there will of course influence Presidents. I wonder where these people live? Planet Cornball? More brilliant logic in play... Actually, imagine how much charge keeps building up. What does this have to do … [Read more...]
News from The Valley
I like to keep tabs on the largest and most important Ideal Org on earth -- especially as it is my local org when I am in Los Angeles. At least it can rightfully lay claim to having the largest and emptiest parking lot of any scientology org on earth (others are just as empty, none are nearly so big...) First, they sent out this terrific Holiday Greetings card: Interesting they selected this particular sentence from the "Ideal Org" Policy Letter. It's so nebulous. People come there to get freedom, they have confidence in the fact it will happen and then they run smack … [Read more...]
Super Power “Success”
This "success story" looks like it might have been written by Dan Sherman. 5 paragraphs of words that mean nothing with no conclusion. SUPER POWER COMPLETION OT VIII FREEDOM MEDAL WINNER California, USA T I M B O W L E S on the Confront and Cause RD of Super Power… At this instant, well over seven billion people are striving to survive on this small planet. At this very moment, newborns take their first breath over the span of Earth while elders sense their last upcoming. As I write, there are billions crying, laughing, prayi … [Read more...]
Clearwater PR – Xmas Carolers Surprise
Another Freudian slip. This is a couple of weeks old. Scientology put out a press release about their wonderful goodwill gesture of caroling for Christmas. Of course, scientology and Christianity have nothing to do with one another. Scientologists do NOT celebrate Christmas. Their Christmas is March 13, they hold a massive celebration (at least massive for them) to commemorate the birth of L. Ron Hubbard. It is the most important day on the scientology calendar. So, it is quite hypocritical for them to make themselves appear to be "Christian observant." But then Amber inadvertently … [Read more...]
Scientology’s STAND (STAAD) Front Group
The mighty STAND (STAAD) League pretends to be a group of "concerned scientologists" who "stand up for religious freedom." In fact, they are an Office of Special Affairs front group consisting of selected individuals (many of them are ex-SO/staff/GO like the example below) cleared by OSA who are given direction and authorization to participate in attempts to smear those exposing scientology. The International Director of STAAD is Ed Parkin. He has been in PR OSA Int for more than 20 years. He dishes out commendations to the chosen ones (lots of good these commendations will do them … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard’s Obsession with Instant Reads
It's SaTerraDay -- this one is going to provoke some reactions... L. Ron Hubbard’s Obsession with Instant Reads A read—very basically the movement of an e-meter needle from left to right—is what auditors use to determine whether an item in their PC’s mind is “charged” and should be addressed. LRH wrote in HCOB 5 Aug 78, that “the correct definition of instant read is that reaction of the needle which occurs at the precise end of any major thought voiced by the auditor. All definitions which state it is fractions of seconds after the question is asked, are cancelled. Thus an instant read whic … [Read more...]

"The Strategy for Clearing Florida" You can bet it consists of ONE thing. You giving them your money. They have no strategy. There isn't even an org in Jacksonville. Or Tallahassee. Or Naples. Or West Palm Beach. Or Daytona Beach. Or Pensacola. Or Gainesville. And there isn't even a Mission in any of these places. Their "strategy" consists of mental masturbation. And your money. We love people from all religions As long as they have spendable cash. And we will pretend we care about their holidays to get them to hand it over. Season's … [Read more...]
Cause Resurgence Rundown Success — I Now Fundraise for Ideal Orgs
This "success story" caught my attention for a couple of reasons. First, the idea that it could be considered a "win" to decide that you could now help with fundraising is rather comical. Tells you what is important in the world of scientology. It is obviously a point of shame to NOT be participating in fundraising for ideal orgs. But there is a larger point here, concerning scientology "success stories" in general. As a general rule, "success stories" are tailored to what the person thinks they are supposed to be saying in order to fit in with the expectations of the group. "Success … [Read more...]
