Every year, Miscavige bestows IAS Freedom Medals on individuals who have "eradicated psychiatry" or "brought peace" to "entire nations" through their "tireless efforts" to implement LRH tech and distribute the Way to Happiness as a "calming influence" on society. But one only has to look at the real world to see how contrived these "accomplishments" are. In 2005 (coincidentally) he lauded dedicated IAS members for their work in Venezuela and Ukraine. If you glance at the news, you will see both of these nations undergoing massive internal upheaval and civil unrest. Yet, if you go back and l … [Read more...]
Alfreddie On The Gravy Train
Alfreddie Johnson may have long since joined the Vulture Club of Michael Roberts, Jeff Pomerantz, Andrik Shaapers et al, but this is the first I have seen of it. Alfreddie is a chameleon who has now taken on the appearance of a vulture. He bills himself a "Baptist Minister" (indicative of the PR area control the church has accomplished that he STILL doesnt wan to identify himself as a Scientologist) who runs various drug and education programs (Tony Ortega had an interesting article about one of his cohorts trying to get government funding). He is pals with the Nation of Islam people and … [Read more...]
Flag OTC And IAS Take Credit For Narconon Nepal
Interesting how the stories change depending on circumstances. Of course, any Narconon that is in trouble (Georgia, Arrowhead, Nevada etc) goes to enormous lengths to assert that the church has NO involvement. But when it comes time to ask for money, it's just one big happy family. It is also a little strange that opening a Narconon last September is all that she Mrs. Feshbach (IAS cheerleader du jour) can cite as tangible results of their hard earned money? Why no report on the hurricane? Or the "massive" relief effort in Italy? Or ANYTHING other than a building opened 6 months ago that … [Read more...]
The IAS Fraud
No update on the deployment of the largest private relief force on earth(tm) to help the victims of the largest Hurricane in modern history in the Philippines. See earlier stories here. The Volunteer Minister website omits any mention of the Philippines disaster now, though this is their latest PR piece on their site: Scientology Volunteer Ministers Disaster Response Gears up for New Tornado Season 26 January 2014 Tornado season fast approaching (there were 39 U.S. tornadoes in February 2013) and Scientology Volunteer Ministers teams from across the country are poised to … [Read more...]
Dare To Think for Yourself- Or Not
Woah, wait on a sec. Perhaps that was not the best slogan for Scientology to put a couple of million dollars behind in 2013. When all is said in done, people who do that end up getting booted out and disconnected from. They needed an ad for 2014 that's more in line with the imaginary expansion that Scientology is experiencing at the moment. Imagine science... and religion... connectingImagine technology... and spirituality... combiningNow imagine... that everything you ever imagined... is possibleScientology... there are higher states of existence Actually, imagine getting your re … [Read more...]
What Your IAS Donations Buy — Invisible VMs
It would appear that my posting 4 days ago about the failure of the church to update the information about their massive VM relief force in the Philippines caused a stir in the bowels of the beast. Today the church put out a press release to announce to the world the enormity of their actions (all funded of course by an emergency IAS grant). The photo that accompanied the story is at left. It shows a grand total of SIX VMs, apparently there is some mission in Manila who "activated their Volunteer Ministers" and they were joined by someone(s) from the India "Goodwill Tour." The "story" is … [Read more...]
“The next MASSIVE, ULTRA MAJOR BOMBASTIC…”
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. A day to be relieved that you are no longer giving to the organization that doesnt thank you for what you have given, but simply looks upon you with little vulture eyes "we got this much out of him/her, there has to be more where that came from." The only thing true about this email is that this IS "bombastic." I guess the author is unfamiliar with the words she uses as bombastic means: high-sounding but with little meaning; inflated. The nerve of these people. "In 3 days we are going to announce the biggest/best/over-the-top/bombastic/largest/highest-ever..." … [Read more...]
Come to The IAS at Flag. Repeat.
Listen to the new voicemail being left by Flag on people's answering machines twice a day. They must be pretty concerned about the turnout for this event as 1100 outer org trainees left Flag. And judging by the dismal turnout for last week's Most. Important. Event. In. All. Universes. Ever. they are going to have to spread out the chairs in the circus tent to make sure there aren't too many empty ones visible. Just in case this audio download doesn't work for some, here is the substance of the message: We are 7 days away til the first time ever celebration of the live IAS anniversary … [Read more...]
Jobur Ideal Org and GAG II
Maybe the release of GAG II is going to solve the spelling/typo problems that seem to be endemic within the RCS. The old saying about not even being able to spell your own name right seems to be true, at least in the Ideal, SH Size org that is at the very dawn of a new civilization. Speaking of GAG II, the big announcement has now been made, and just in time to save the planet: GAG II is Friday 15 November through Sunday 17 November (gotta have some quality time to do this one right and hard sell all those meters and materials....) The IAS Event is Friday 29 November and the Patron's Ball … [Read more...]
Status, Status and More Status
They are at it again. MEGA status is the latest term to enter the Scientology dictionary -- you know the dictionaries that Voldemort announced in 2001 (or maybe before?) that are STILL not complete and released. This now joins the other coined terms of late in the world of the RCS: Humanitarian -- someone who went into debt to give money to buy MEST for those not in need Command Intention -- whatever Voldemort wants or is thought to want Department 21 -- David Miscavige Training -- buying The Basics and Lectures OT -- Objectives Co-audit There are of course many more and I am sure a … [Read more...]
