The first post on this blog went up on 20 March 2013. That day 316 people visited and they read 1881 pages of information - about 5 or 6 pages per visitor. Exactly one year later we have come a long way. When I launched Something Can Be Done About It I put my mission statement at the bottom. It is my intention to do everything I can to: Expose the abuses ongoing in the church, through this blog, other media, law enforcement and elected officials to bring the abuses to an end. Help provide information to anyone looking for the truth about the church. Provide a forum for the exchange … [Read more...]
A Year Later Ideal Org Gets A Supervisor
Big win, the "Ideal Org" in Cambridge, Ontario that Dear Leader opened a year ago has just made an Objectives Course Supervisor! With the heavy push to have EVERYONE from OT VIII down re-do their Objectives, one would have imagined that they might have had a trained Objectives Course Supervisor. I guess they can now get underway... Now that's straight up and vertical. What is so remarkable is that the clubbed seals apparently find something in this to celebrate. Soon we will be seeing Facebook posts announcing the good news that "Las Vegas Org is now open on Wednesdays from 3-9 a … [Read more...]
Straight Up And Vertical — Not
For about 30 years now the FSO has been pushing an arbitrary target of "10,000 onto or through OT VII" as the solution to "handling the planet." It comes from a twisted interpretation of this quote from a 1952 lecture: "...at any one time on earth there were not more than about 10,000 people of a caliber that was sufficient to do a little steering or leading..." Clive Rabey, the point man for the FSO on this matter, explained it in Source Mag like this: "It was a mathematical equation, all extrapolated out. From the real physical universe effects this would create in terms of case gain and … [Read more...]
Invalidation
Another posting from our Special Correspondent Galactic Patrol. I though it appropriate at this time of the year when we take stock of our lives and are thankful for what we have (and in some cases, for what we no longer have....). To all those who frequent this blog, may you enjoy a wonderful day with those who love you for what you are, not what anyone else says you are.... They are your REAL friends. The two greatest crimes that can be committed with Scientology technology are the two "shuns" - evaluation and invalidation. In numerous references, LRH explicitly details the destructive … [Read more...]
Jobur “Ideal” Org Moar Big Fail
Just because I like the no nonsense FACTS I am reprinting this article. This sort of coverage is a hallmark of the new South African blog. If you are not checking it out regularly, you are missing some good stuff. South Africa is predictably going to be the first area that will be lost to corporate Scientology. It is like a ship that has left the dock and the "missionaires" are trying to get it tied back down by throwing mud, hoping it will stick to the side and weigh it down so much it will sink. Lots luck with that. I guess the Mission briefing sort of missed the real scene.... Don't … [Read more...]
Leah Remini On A Roll
These two pieces may not have been seen by everyone, but they are worth viewing. They are perfect examples of the PR meltdown that is taking place before our very eyes. For some time ABC has been cowed by legal threats. This one breaks the ice. I know it was on Tony Ortega's blog, but it was at the end of a series of stories and I am not sure if everyone saw it. And Wendy Williams is simply fearless. Breaking News [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLXBUIVU-PE&feature=player_embedded#t=8] … [Read more...]
Mike Rinder Interview — Talk Radio Europe
I recently did a telephone interview on the largest english speaking radio program in Spain. It was broadcast in 2 parts, totaling about 45 minutes. A little information is here about Talk Radio Europe and here about the program I was on: Let's Talk with Bill Padley PART 1 PART 2 … [Read more...]
Scientology Responds To Paul Haggis — Sort Of
The Hollywood Reporter published an open letter written by Paul Haggis this morning. In typical Haggis style, he zero'd in on the crux of the matter and showed himself once again to be a man of principle and dignity who clearly articulates his calm and well reasoned points. Of course, Karin (David Miscavige) Pouw just HAD to respond. In a page out of their normal "attack the attacker" playbook, they launched an illogical, poorly composed ad hominem assault on Paul Haggis. It does not respond to a SINGLE POINT of his Open Letter. It is so ridiculous that I am reprinting it here in full. Th … [Read more...]
Voldemort 19 July Updated
Here is the update from Graduation last nite. Absolutely without question the most spectacular event in the history of Scientology..... (until the next time Dear Leader takes the stage). He saved the showing of the 1993 IAS event so He could introduce it and He could make a pitch for the IAS. He is, after all, Founder of the IAS, a title that cannot be disputed as L. Ron Hubbard had nothing to do with the IAS. Stealing a phrase from Mel Brooks History of the World Part I "It's good to be the Founder".... He started the evening off with some really impressive stats: - 23 Cornerstone … [Read more...]
Desperation At Flag
A couple of desperate pleas indicate the Flag ship is taking on water despite the incredible (literally?) news being presented by Him at the Friday Nite Kumbaya Circle. Who ever heard of free food and babysitting being offered to try to entice people to come and see Him speak? Well, it is a rerun of a rerun of a rerun, BUT people should be falling all over themselves to attend, because it IS Him speaking.... Looks like things aren't shaping up too well if they are stooping to giveaways. I remember repeated requests for babysitting services to be provided for events and the public being told … [Read more...]
