Bubbles Champagne addresses huge audience assembled in her honor
Here is the other promo featuring Kaye “Bubbles” Champagne doing her bit for the Durban org. The crowd size speaks volumes — they managed to scrape together 12 staff and public to attend the special seminar from the head of the FLAG OT Committee. They haven’t seen anyone this important in Durban org since never. And they had 12 people to show her Durban Determinism to Clear the Planet. Yet they are so proud of this turnout they put out a promo piece documenting it. Straight up and vertical expansion at a level never before seen. And it is all happening because of the brilliant guidance of the Dear Leader, Mr. COB.
This is yet another example of something sent out by the church that tells the REAL story of what is going on inside the bubble. Forget the hype videos and ribbon yanking events with imported staff and public. This is what is really happening. And Durban is no different than Detroit or Lyon or Canberra. They are hanging on by a thread, hoping the “next big thing” is going to do it for them. And don’t think this is limited to the non-“ideal” orgs. Dallas is no different. Nor is Malmo or Pretoria. The only reason they don’t get evicted is that the church owns the buildings. Because if they had to pay rent on their properties they would have long since been gone.
Let’s not forget, the original Durban property was torn down in 2010 and to this day they have not made any progress on either starting to build on the vacant lot or purchasing a different property. In the interim, Durban Org has had to move twice due to inability to pay their rent.
But you gotta hand it to them — the “Sharks” theme/logo is an ironic (yet somehow appropriate) choice.
That one lady up front right looks as though she is on her phone texting or something. Oh. Wait. They can’t have phones, right?
Well she is certainly not paying attention. Dozing?
“The next big thing” for them is going to be Leah’s Series Two. And after that, Series Three.
WOOOAARG!
When is Louis Theroux’ movie coming to America? I was told in March, but March is almost over.
“OTC newsletter”
Is that one of those “confidential” things that must not, EVER, be leaked to the merchants of chaos? I think the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology needs to interrogate everyone who is on the recipient list to find out who committed the heinous “crime” of leaking it.
That’s ll fix the attendance issues…
Yes!
Nothing improves the morale like sec-checking, only the purest may remain. As long as a single leak of the OTC newsletters occur it’s imperative that every OTC member is interrogated with the joburg sec check, repeatedly.
I love this place, glory to all
Speaking of Durban, does anyone know what became of the lawsuit by the couple had loaned money for the purchase of the new org there, but then left around the time that a lot of South Africans were being pressured and purged?
FAKE NEWS ALERT:
Mike, apart from Bubbles, in each photo I count ELEVEN people, not 12. It simply is not fair to count HER as an attendee. Please, Mike, stop spewing these Alternative Facts at susceptible, gullible us 🙂
Perhaps the unseen twelfth was the one taking the photo.
Wait one cotton picking minute there mister. Before you speak of fake news please remember what Kirstie Ally tweeted the other day……….”there are 12 MILLION Scientologists worldwide” or did she say over 12? Either way I wonder where she gets her “news” from? Based on the info I have read (and picture above bears out) she is off by about 11 million 950-975,000
30,000 is more like it.
perception check: can you see the black person just under the monitor, to Bubbles right?
But Wait! You bad ol’ SPs, you both didn’t count whoever took the picture!!!
lol.
Ah, but someone had to take the photo . . .
A lot of action at the level it was created. Daylighting might mean energy spent to burst the bubble. Let’s crowd source deprogramming. Einstein would be happy. . .
Re:Miscavaige and downtown Clearwater.
8 years ago the city of Cw was offering retailers and resturaunts dollar for dollar grants, up to 35K, for resturaunts and 50K, for retailers.
And look how that turned out.They still couldn’t draw any business because of Scn.
Isn’t the very title of the “incredible talk”, ‘The Rehabilitation of Activity — a tool to blow stops and get a person back into action’ an admission of straight down and vertical failure?
Of course this is purely because Durban is on the bottom of the world and the Coriolis Effect is the opposite to that in Clearwater.
Rumour has it that DM is now working on a tool to stop blows and get a person back into the RPF. I’m sure the results will be just as effective.
Bubbles Champagne has gone flat.
Hey Mark you know of course it is not real champagne. Only Dave and Tom get that. What Misbubbles dishes up is just carbonated Grape imitation flavour Koolaid and it’s a well know fact that that doesn’t hold its fizz.
BTW , Mike I love that name “Bubbles”.
It’s so fitting.
First off ,the play on words ,her last name being Champaign.
But more importantly Kaye always has that extremely fake bubbly personality.
Like, ” Wow look at me, I’m so uptone ,because I’m OT8 ! “
WELL!!! It is abundantly apparent that ALL scientologists except for Tom Cruise and david miscavige need to ReDO again the PTS/SP Course. The SP’s must be winning because if they weren’t the orgs would be full and these seminars that Bubbles and her ilk put on would be teaming with people clamoring to have, learn and stamp out anything but THE TECH. Tom Cruise knows how to Shatter Suppression and keep those icky people away from him. He’s proved it. Look how great his life is.
See previous post.
Apparently everyone is PTS to the middle class.
1958 Durban…. invited to do my first PE lecture……. the place was FULL…. Humming with activity. Every night…… It was Fun…. a breath of fresh air….. at last someone will free us from the bonds of this cosmos……… WOW…….
1963 Cape Town Started the HPA course…….. the accademy alway FULL had to get there early to get a seat…….
Durban run by Peter Green…. Cape Town run by Allison and Jack Parkhouse.
1967/8 Durban….. John Mc Masters (the first clear) returns to his home town to give a lecture about being clear……..
The Durban City Hall had to be hired…… (it holds easily three to four thousand people ) …. it was three quaters full. I was there.
NOW…….. ? as I recall someone???? (guess who) saying “Clean hands make for a happy life”. Maybe in terms of bacteria!!!
But if you keep on taking someone’s energy (money) with false promises……. its called BETRAYAL……
In war they put the enemy (when caught) in concentration camps…….. they put the spy’s (the bretrayers) against the wall and shoot them DEAD DEAD DEAD.
LRH is lucky not to be alive.
The following is my personal opinion:-
By and large the South African people (of all colours) are very nice and very helpfull people….. BUT do not… do not…. Bull shit them (betray them) as then they become very
Real Mother Fuckers……..
On a lighter note this woman you refer to as Bubbles is not a bad looking chick…..
Mike Moretti
Yeah, straight down and vertical. My little mission could draw more than 12 people – and that was 40 years ago!
Kaye has a meeting with twelve scientologists to speak of many things, like shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.
Isn’t that an accurate enough description of any scientology seminar or OT committee meeting? In fact, didn’t Hubbard say as much when he spoke of his plans to clear the planet?
Kaye certainly lives up to her name. The programmed optimist. When a person is fully indoctrinated as she is, there is no critical thinking. Only her mission drives her and a determination of “friend or enemy”. As long as she stays in the friend bubble she is ok. Makes no difference that the bubble is shrinking.
Durban is a very humid town so I guess the night of “Bubbles” talk we were all at the beach cooling down instead of sitting in a hot room listening to a lot of drivel. But then a lot of us golden oldies in Durbs have been declared so yes the Org would be empty.
first time on the blog for me.. i must say thanks Mike Rinder for all your hard work in keeping this blog going it is very enlightening.
janette Moretti
If that were actually true, none of the 6 month sec checks would be necessary. And Miscavige would never permit that! Someone might have a negative thought about him that went unchallenged!!!
Have you ever noticed how ” Bubbles” is always standing next to DM in all of the cover shoots of the Maiden Voyage Events Freewinds mag.
I’m assuming it’s her brown nosing “COB”,
and because she is short and therefore it does not draw attention to his night .
Hight…not night.
Height…not hight.
OOOPS , I knew that , thanks Dude.
Reight
No, rite!
The Rehabilitation of Activity? Really?
Double Speak…
Well, not to put to fine a point on it…….. not even a month after her talk Durban org did spring into activity according to the Thursday Funnies on Sunday. They all went off to Ballito for a game of Laser Tag, “shooting” each other until all lives were wasted. A flurry of activity in Durban right there. Maybe misdirected activity, but they are at least on a gradient. After what happened to their org, one could hardly blame them for their choice of activity. Demoralizing to say the least.
Why are all the Durban Scios white? South Africa is a mostly black country.
Money…
I was born in Durban and even though South Africa is mostly black, there are a large # of whites and Indians who live there. It has the highest population of whites and Indians in the whole of Africa. So if there are approx. 50 million blacks in the country there are about 10 million whites and maybe a few million Indians. Indians from India btw……….and there are very few black people in scn, mostly whites.
Scn is a “white” religion. Not many blacks anywhere, for that matter.
What you talkin’ ’bout, Hat?
Black people were not his favorite…
All twelve people look like they’d rather be anywhere but there too. Kaye, now is your chance. If those blinders are ever going to fall off, seeing this has got to make it happen.
I didn’t see any reference to sharks, but The Sharks is the name of the local rugby team and the main reason that Durbanites continue to exist on plant Earth.
And the surf, don’t forget.
Actually, Durban is a wonderful city with a mish mash of nationalities and cultures and thriving. It’s still the favourite place to go to to chill for the business minded Joburgers.
I lived there for twenty three years and it was a wonderful life. My happiest memories are there in the 80s, the decade before I succumbed to scn – and the end of any happiness for two decades.
I’m happy again but I’m out!
I don’t know anything about COS from an insider view but if COS has so many properties that sit and rot for years before anything gets remodelled into a working location, why the hell would the city of Clearwater even contemplate that it would be a good idea to let COS take over revitilization of any part of their downtown?
Because they’re effed either way. The church of scientology has already killed downtown Clearwater and made it a ghost town. Not many people who are not scientologists want to go down there. It feels creepy because it is creepy. The City of Clearwater might be thinking, “Well, we’re fucked anyway; maybe if Tom Cruise cruises the streets and the church “revitalizes” the facades….” (Let’s hope their own Potemkin Village facades are no indication of what the church means by that because they are tacky.)
Having said that, I don’t think the City of Clearwater officials are going to sell the church the aquarium property. They got too much hate mail with just the notion of it from too many of their constituents.
Yeah, usually the citizens would weigh in against spending tax dollars to purchase an empty lot when someone else is willing buy it and do something with it. But with the case of Clearwater and Scientology, the citizens would certainly prefer that the tumbleweed religion not spread their desolation even further.
Because all of the properties in Cw ,are highly maintained. Many of the older buildings bought by the CofS ,in Cw were completely renovated.
The Ideal Orgs in other cities ,thats a different story.
Remember, the Super Power building took them forever to get done, and the derelict project ended up being a point of contention with the city and the public. Scientology’s track record for new construction in Clearwater isn’t good, and I can’t imagine what a mess retail projects could be with Miscavige trying to micro-manage everything including picking tenants.
I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the reports of Miscavige supposedly promising to revitalize the facades on the buildings of downtown Clearwater. Really? Really?
Hmmm…how is that working in the building scientology bought for an ideal org in Chicago? Last time I was there, I was walking past it and had no clue it was owned by scientology and only found out after I left. In looking through my pictures, I found that I had taken a photo of a homeless man who had taken up residence for the night with his sleeping bag and backpack in the doorway of the abandoned building. Score one for scientology relief efforts!
That “Ideal Org” aka dirt parking lot in Durban? Did Kaye build something on it while she was there rallying the troops?
And Boston? Hello? (crickets)
Plus, anyone who really believes they would get something free from Miscavige truly doesn’t understand that in truth it would cost way more than it was worth. Way more. There would always be strings attached to anything given to anyone by Miscavige.
So Bubbles got to spend 24+ hours each way on airplanes to get to Durban from Clearwater to talk to perhaps 3-4 public and 6-8 staffers. Wonder how she reconciles that incredible lack of enthusiasm in South Africa with all the “straight up and vertical expansion” propaganda she’s subject to back home.
Few things get you to think honestly about what you’re doing with your life than a nightmare international trip. Wonder if that will be enough for her to wake up. Probably not, but a fellow can dream…
“Bubbles” Champagne is a lot like “Blinky” Yingling.
They both are working to get $tats.
“Blinky” wants $$$$$
“Bubbles” wants to stay out of the HOLE
Blinky has made millions as the cult’s most prominent legal weasel, so while that’s as morally reprehensible in my book as human trafficking (which I’m sure that she’s facilitated as well), it will definitely put her in a much better place when it comes time to retire than where Bubbles will be.
Getting old as a staff member in the cult is going to be a progressively worsening experience as the cult continues to contract and more and more of the old-timers feel the net effects of long years of overwork and sleep deprivation in an atmosphere of constant fear and dread.
One correction to make: Bubbles Champaign is not on staff. She is Public.
John, I’ll bet she has to travel coach class, too. LOL
A while back, someone posted a pic of her from one of her social media accounts or other; she was sitting on a plane, waiting to take off on a long-ish flight, and appearing very bubbly about it.
I do recall making a snarky comment about how, if she was so at cause as an OTVIII, why was she stuck flying coach?
So yes, I’m certain she did have to make that whole trip flying coach, only to get up in front of a dozen people. And you’d think she’d start connecting the dots, after years of flying all over the world to talk to ever-shrinking crowds? But I guess she’s thoroughly pickled in the Kool-Aid.
Oh, they’ll blame Durban; and South Africa per se.
The Durban staff and public (all six of them) are probably on the conditions and an ethics programme.
Sorry, all three to four of them, the public.
John P, I think there were a couple of other talks involved in southern Africa – one was in Harare at the “Pariah State Cafe” (It caught my attention because I grew up in Harare, and of course the cheeky/defiant name of the cafe.) Harare has its own ideal org building purchased by the IAS, but goodness knows why it was not suitable to receive someone from Flag. I would think that Kaye Champagne has had more of a reveal than she has delivered. I hope she sees. I hope she figures it out. If not, I have no sympathy. A roundtrip flight between Clearwater and Jo’burg is a long way to go to see a handful of people.
Oh, Africa will be deemed the problem. However, hasn’t she been doing the rounds at other orgs in the US. Surely, she’s started connecting the dots? Well, we shall see.
I am thinking about this, economically speaking. Bubbles obviously doesn’t get paid, Monique does, as the woman-of-negotiable-affection that she is. But seriously, both are mad. Even without salary, Bubbles’s trip can not be “worth it”. You don’t send a valuable person halfway across the world to inspire 12 people, unless they’re all the Popei Lama. And Blinky, I have no idea how much she charges, but I can refer to what I would charge, in case of me having to go half-across the world as an expert witness, with lawyers probably being more financially shrewd than a simple doctor I would bet it don’t come cheap.
Bleuler if you phone Monique’s office they will tell you how much she charges but they will verify that she is a woman of negotiable affection.
They will tell you she charges by the billable blink, which explains a lot.
“…the billable blink…”
Everyone is so funny today!
I’ll never blink again…
Maybe this experience will burst her bubble about $cientology.
I sure hope she can vacate that cult before she winds up in the hole. As much as I cringe at these fake upbeat ringleaders of scientology, nobody deserves that fate.
WAYC, Bubbles is not in the Sea Org so cannot be sent to The Hole to which you are referring. That said, in my opinion she’s already in a much worse place which is her very own mental Hell Hole. The irony is that she probably has yet to realize she’s even there. That dreadful cognition is yet to come for her when the cult implodes and there’s no more woo.
But she can be summoned to the ship for a “clean up” at huge expense and which comes out of her own pocket. Or that she borrows from someone.
And the clean up will involve a hefty ethics programme and hours of sec checking. It’s all her fault, remember?
I hope she did a little thinking on the plane trip home. The problem with sending people to somewhere besides their home turf is it becomes more real that it’s not just their area that is contracting.
This is one of the best promos they could come up with? A meeting to show how to “increase profits and customers” at an org that apparently runs in the red (negative profit) with a very low number of individuals (customers) that wanted to (or were forced to) attend this “inspiring and interactive workshop”? They actually thought it would be a good idea to announce this pathetic level of turnout to their members who they so desperately want to manipulate and make them believe that things are going “straight up and vertical” with their religion?
Despite the typos or that LRH “control is necessary” quote near the end (that I’ll concede my never-in brain may be reading a little too much into), the desperation of the people in this organization to try to find something (ANYTHING) to show how *wonderful* things are, even though I believe they just HAVE to know that their dreams of planetary clearing are quickly coming to a swift end, I almost feel sorry for these folks……..almost…….
Hold on there commenters. I’m pretty sure that that picture was taken from about the fourth row. And during a break. I’m pretty sure that there was standing room only and that there were hundreds of people in back of the photographer. In fact, they probably had to have another room for the overflow to watch on closed circuit TV. Don’t you think?
You’re welcome Davie!
That would be my guess also.
Funny!
I’m sure you’re right there bo. How silly of me to think they would be so vain as to show the full crowd and brag on their successes. The leader of this church is obviously a role model for humility……right?
Yes, the dear leader Miscavige is sure doing a bang up job of running this “church”.
I picture him running around screaming at his upper echelon cronies, slapping a few in their heads, perhaps a throttling or two, all the while blaming everyone but himself.
Maybe one day the higher-ups in scientology will stage a coup and force Miscavige into the very hole he created. Oh, to dream of such sweet justice!!
“…the desperation of the people in this organization to try to find something (ANYTHING) to show how *wonderful” things are…”
Nailed it, Mick.
This IS the predominate emotion with staff, long term public and Sea Org. They all try to project enthusiasm and confidence in the success of Scientology and the “impact” it is having on civilization in general, and in how well their own orgs are doing and how happy and “winning” they are in particular.
But, you know what? Its FORCED. Its FAKE. Its NOT real enthusiasm. There’s a studied, gritted teeth determination in their smiles, their cheerfulness. They’re not even good actors. Its – well, I’ll use a Scientology expression – SOLID. Hard to explain, but real enthusiasm, authentic cheerfulness and happiness is light, airy, and it feels good to be around. Not so, what they’re putting out. It always made me uncomfortable, and for many years I never understood precisely why. Now I do – it was fake.
Actually, they ARE good at acting when they’re pretending to care about you, just not when they’re pretending how wonderful everything is and how happy they are.
My local fishing club has way more members than they do. Are we ever OT or what?! We don’t need no stinking PTS/SP stuff around these parts, nor fancy bubbly drink named people to tell us how to do action shit – fish fear us!
Man, I Yawn! You da man! I wish fish would fear me! Especially the Great Whites along our coast…
Just wear your ‘clear’ braclet, ‘OT Hat’ or IAS tee shirt and even the most dangerous predators on the planet will give you wide berth. Downside is, so will your friends.
You could always try regging those Great Whites too, give ’em a personality test and find their ruin. Maybe, try writing SCIENTOLOGY on the bottom of your board in big letters, that’ll scare the crap out of ’em!
It scared me just reading your post!
But…but…but…
What happened to Stupid POwerz??? Uh…I mean Super Powerz?
Running around a pole until one has a win…?
The oily table…slip and slide until you have a win..,..?
Pay $$$,$$$,$$$ for a $225,000,000 building so you can run around a pole that would cost nothing – just find a flag pole…
heh – maybe it’s the special “undies” the cult $ells you…oh – wait a minute…that is another cult.
Idle, I had awesome Stupid Powers up to the day I walked away. My Stupid Powers left me, but, my Common Sense Powers didn’t.
What a great way to put it, OSD. My Common Sense Powers returned, too, the moment I realised I should start walking out the org door.
Looking at the background of the last pic – looks like cushions, wicker stands, other “outdoorsy” things…is this the back room storage place of some business?
It’s called ‘hiding.’
I believe the Durban org/mission is now a little house somewhere that I think they use rent-free. Might explain the decor?!
She is very pretty and unfortunately her activities share a similarity to the activities of the doomed Elizabeth, NJ missions 8,000 miles away (Elizabeth is where LRH opened the first Dianetics Research Foundation in 1950 and there is even a small park named after him there). When the mission in Elizabeth opened and had its grand gala open house, a crowd about half the size of Kaye’s showed up. Only 1 person in the audience was truly excited, the rest were all veteran staff or public of the church. 🙂
Why doesn’t DM just have all the org execs get the L’s like L. Fraud said? Hubbard said that would make them super execs and they would never again go PTS and allow themselves to be stopped.
Hmmmm
In about 2002 when I was the Treasury Sec FSO I was at a meeting where we were looking at the FSO stats for a 10 year period. Pretty much every major statistic was heavily down trending (Danger trend) over the 10 year period. It didn’t seem to matter how many execs were replaced over the years. I originated that maybe the top execs should get the L’s. All we ever heard at Flag was the PR used to sell the L’s (which I later found out was false). If the L’s were so incredible and if they were created by LRH originally to make “super execs” than why not use them internally. To say that the origination wasn’t appreciated is an understatement.
Unbelievable! (But I believe it.)
What!? You suggested put Scientology to the test? And at Flag too… get outta here – that’s treason talking!
But, when you come to think about it – you did the right formula! Find out that you are, and blew the joint – see Scientology works! It’s all in the application and getting the smoke and mirrors just at the right angle and you’ll see through them everytime.
Blow not blew…
That’s funny as hell Mat. I wonder if your suggestion may have helped some of those others in the Product Conference echelon look at things with a more critical eye?
Hmmm….the execs can never be stopped, eh? I believe that kind of thinking is DOA. And punishable…
Not to worry OSD. DOA is the condition you get as the E.P. of the “bridge”.
Lisa McPhearson, anyone?
You know Mike Wynski, that’s a pretty good point you make for the last thread on PTSness to the Middle Class etc. Technology to steel yourself against going PTS. Just in that simple expression comes all the chrome hard steel attitudes, massive make it go right, all the domination, all the family rips a-parts and a whole host of other negative things the assholes in Scientology get up to – immunizing themselves against going PTS. And all the while a king pin like Miscavige sits back and counts the money. It’s quite the hoodwink. The Ls are just part of the cog in the machine of deception – group Scientology, where no stands out. Hammers are always at the ready…
(noticed you dropped the ‘Mike’ off your handle – any reason?)
I dropped the “Mike” because a couple of people new to the blog confused me for THE Mike. It would be bad form for myself not to remedy that.
Ah yes, there can only be one, “Mike” on this blog.
Probably because everyone was referring to him as “Wynski” anyway due to the fact that there’s really only room for one “Mike” here…
