Here is the news from last night's Graduation where He once again addressed his adoring fans. Of course, a lot of this could charitably be termed hype -- some is just outright lies. But it was a night of spectacle and verbal fireworks befitting the celebration of Independence Day. Though He announced "every org has their quota of trainees" he is apparently not completely clued in and has been taken off the Hawaii recruitment mailing list. Fasten your seatbelts, and prepare yourselves for this week's ride down the rabbit hole. Sarcastic comments by me in square brackets: - There is a … [Read more...]
IAS Narconon Claims — Fact Check
Next in the series from our intrepid and dauntless Special Correspondent Natasha Boris, investigating the claims made by the IAS concerning their wondrous accomplishments of bettering the state of the planet. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – Part 4 Creating a Drug Free World by Natasha Boris It is pretty universally agreed that drugs and their abuses are a problem in today’s society.

One Month — How Are We Doing?
Today marks the first month of the existence of this blog, and I looked over the statistics of these first 30 days. I thought some of you may be interested and in order to refine the content I also include a short survey that I would appreciate you responding to. In the first month 10,500 different people have visited, or about 1800 per day on average. Just as a comparison, Ruth Eckerd Hall where Miscavige holds his events in Clearwater, seats 2180. These people have visited 56,904 times. Altogether 147,931 pages of information have been read. It’s a good … [Read more...]
Oh! Buffalo!
Last Friday night in Buffalo. Apparently, it's an all-hands to make a new video to hawk their "leatherbounds for Non E" program. Seems it's really hard to sell 500 of anything in the world's first and model Ideal Org. Just think, they have been trying to get their Non E program going for about 6 months now. Probably should have re-evaluated and have a "What the hell are we doing here?" progam by now. But aside from that -- look around in there. The place is empty. It's not dinner time and its before "graduation". Double Ideal Org, millions poured into it, and here is the current scene. That, … [Read more...]
Ashamed to be Associated with the RCS?
The Church puts up sleaze websites and doesn't want their name associated with them. But even people they pay hundreds of millions of dollars to don't want any association with Scientology on their websites either. Below are extracts from the website of Nova Hotel Renovation and Construction "Featured Projects". Of the 15 "Featured Projects" 9 are Scientology Buildings -- though NOT A SINGLE MENTION of the word Scientology appears anywhere even though they have been paid in excess of $150 million by the church! It's so bad that they include shots of the buildings and information about t … [Read more...]
Ideal Orgs — You Didn't Think You Were Done Giving Us Your Money Did You?
Yesterday's post about Flag now sucking money out of the nearly lifeless bodies of its public for the "Southeast Ideal Orgs" engendered a lot of email, comments and another promo piece from a local Special Correspondent. While there were mentions of other "Ideal Org Alliances" -- this one takes the cake. It's a whole COUNTRY and more! Spearheading into the Great White North out of the hotspot of Scientology in Canada -- Cambridge (formerly Kitchener) -- this "All Hands" fundraising drive for a "Clear Canada" (the new euphemism for "All Orgs Ideal") is in full swing... Just a couple of points … [Read more...]
