A lot of this promotional item is pretty familiar territory. They tend to recirculate the "wins" because once you start saying "this handles everything in the universe forever" it is really hard to follow it with anything "less." So, every success begins to sound familiarly absurd. Just a few comments on this one in particular: if it were true that you handle "anything" with Solo NOTs "for eternity" what else IS THERE? Why would anyone then need to do OT VIII? Or more to the point -- why would anyone need to do Super Power or the Running Program? Much less Student Hat, Purification and … [Read more...]
OT Gobbledygook
You can handled ANYTHING with Solo NOTs. Except your finances. Connection to your family. The ever-shrinking orgs of scientology. The terrible PR scientology has everywhere. And pretty much anything else. 3 DECADES of bypassed charge handled with his first drilling of a can squeeze! That is really something, especially after saying how wonderful and stable it is to be an "OT V." 1 Solo NOT's completion per day. OMG. At this rate, they will have 1000 every 3 years. 10,000 in THIRTY YEARS. They don't even seem to notice how bizarre their statements are. I … [Read more...]
Super Bowl Planning
Things are not going too well with the big plans for the Super Bowl. Though there are 3 ideal orgs and another "almost" in the Bay area SFO (actually two -- Day and Fdn), Stevens Creek, Mountain View and Los Gatos; and with the "massive international expansion" scientology has been experiencing since David Miscavige took the helm, rocketed with the advent of the Golden Age of Tech, after-burnered with the Basics, shot skywards with the Golden Age of Knowledge, exploded into hyperdrive with the Golden Age of Knowledge II and Super Power and launched to the stratosphere with the Golden Age of … [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...]
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...]
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...]
Freewinds Desperation
There are no public to reg and no situation causes a greater state of terror on the mighty Sea Org flagship. Hitting an iceberg would cause less fear and panic Apparently even the tiny number of OT VII completions (5-10 per week) are not showing up at the Freewinds for OT VIII. So, how are they planning to solve their dilemma? By announcing they are inventing some service to convince people they should go to the Moneywinds to get "debugged" on going onto OT VIII. I guess they haven't put too much thought into this. It seems pretty clear to me that if they can get someone to agree to pa … [Read more...]
The Running Around In Circles Program
The statements in the email below really tell you everything you need to know about the delusion inside the bubble. And what cognitive dissonance people will accept without apparently feeling the pain. Remember, this "Cause Resurgence Rundown" literally consists of running in circles. Ideally it would NOT be done in a body according to L. Ron Hubbard -- the physical exercise forms no part of this "rundown." Thus, it is why I have mad ea firm decision that if I ever decide to do it again I will opt for either driving a golf cart around in circles or take a seat on a carousel. But put … [Read more...]
ASHO Promotion
This is a recent email ASHO sent to SHSBC Graduates. The Snr C/S apparently doesn't have enough work to do, so is writing letters. He valiantly tries to worm his way around the fact that ASHO no longer delivers the Briefing Course -- it's no longer the home of the Briefing Course it is now the "home for all Briefing Course alumni to get training and processing" and "the top Survival Rundown delivery unit on the planet." This is like an email from Harvard to alumni if Harvard had been closed down as a university and converted into a Grade School. The straight up and vertical ideal PAC … [Read more...]
Epic Expansion News From AOLA
Hot off the press. A Special Correspondent sent me some shots of the new Advance Mag that arrived in his/her mailbox. It is an epic and monumental edition with news that of vital importance to every scientologist. They found a bird. If that isn't OT I don't know what is... Well, maybe this? They heard two car alarms! And talk about 64X expansion. They had 5 people complete OT III in the past 3 months (or maybe 6?)... What an epic and monumental demonstration of massive, straight up and vertical expansion that page is. In the IDEAL AOLA. Wow. … [Read more...]
