Christmas seems to start earlier every year. But not for the staff. All they are getting is lumps of coal thrown at them by Miscavige and his unhappy, unsmiling, cold chrome steel RTC robotpersons. Staff around the world, but ESPECIALLY at AOSHUK know they are going to be in BIG trouble if they don't get "Highest Ever" attendance for these, the most important (non) events in the history of mankind. Little notes attached to the lumps of coal tell them the events are happening "soon" but there are no dates. As good, loyal SO members they are doing what they can to "make it go right." And al … [Read more...]
IAS Running Amok
The IAS seems to be worried they are going to get shafted yet again. Remember Maiden Voyage sinking without sound -- one of their two big events each year? So, they are apparently taking matters into their own hands. Holding individual "events" to celebrate reg for their anniversary. How uncoordinated have things become... If they DO hold a tent revival in Clearwater sometime, are they going to have the public show up for a second time to celebrate be regged? And by the way -- who ever heard of a lame announcement like this before? No special guest speaker? No pronouncements from Cha … [Read more...]
Stop The Presses. BIG News from The IAS
The IAS got someONE through "the online courses". Now you can all rest well at night knowing just how effectively they are using your money. Who dares say we don't have unprecedented, straight up and vertical international expansion? What about this! And in Romania no less. This is truly monumental and the right order of magnitude. A new civilization is on its way. Clearing the planet is a reality. The dawn of a golden age is upon us. We have the future of this planet in our hands. Woohoo, we're having a party tonight. After 10 years of these damned tents we finally have something to crow … [Read more...]
Promises, Promises….
So much for the first month -- a big fat nothing. None of the four epic accomplishments was done.... Wonder how many people are sitting around at Flag waiting for anything to happen -- desperately trying to avoid the regges? (Good luck with that) Now they are piling on. Promoting the wonders of the IAS event "directly following" the opening of the SP Building and release of GAG II. Make your plans to attend. We are just not telling you WHEN it will be. But when we finally make up our minds a week before the event you will be expected to be there. From: Nitzan Burstein, IAS A … [Read more...]
Dante’s Inferno — Scientology Style
Here is the ultimate admission that corporate Scientology has arrived at its final destination. Giving money IS the new auditing. Turning over cash provides "case gain", confers remarkable abilities and powers on you and it gives you status (at least according to the endless stream of promotion, emails, videos and events). Everything anyone could ever want from a journey to spiritual enlightenment and "truth revealed". The descent into MEST -- which is after all what money represents and that old saying is very true, money can't buy you happiness (or love if you follow the Beatles … [Read more...]
$10,000 Pin Commemorating Miscavige’s Finest Hour
Just when you thought it couldn't get cheesier. Give us $10,000 and we will give you a special pin to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the IAS event. Note, the event was held on 8 October, but the commemorative pin "expires" Thursday 15 August at 2pm! Gimmick much? With this pin, you are being "given the chance" to "be a part of this historic movement." A pin now makes you part of a historic movement? This event was a movement? Maybe they will mint a special "Civil Rights" pin so you can be part of that historic movement too? Oh, that's right, they already have "The Humanitarian" m … [Read more...]
Donate to the IAS for Sea Org Day. Huh????
The constant "give us your money" drumbeat is only growing louder. But it is becoming ever more brazen and the "reasons" are getting more and more absurd. This new email contains so many outpoints it is difficult to comprehend that anyone in their right mind would have sent it. But here it is: From: Ashley <ashod@scientology.net>Date: Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 4:05 AMSubject: 46 years ago on August 12thTo: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com Dear Scientologist, 46 years ago on August 12th, LRH formed the Sea Organization. This year a large focus is on target attainment for the … [Read more...]
Volunteer Minister Crusade Claims — Fact Check
Another in our series of Fact Checking claims made by the Church of Scientology on their internet sites. Our hardworking Special Correspondent has taken the time once again to attempt to verify the generalities put forth. This is no easy task.... I recently received the latest IAS mag unironically titled "Indiscriminate Help Anytime Anywhere" and so I added a little section of my own to the end of Natasha's good work. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – Part 5 Something Can Be Done About It by Natasha Boris Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, terrorist attacks, b … [Read more...]
Mystery Solved — It’s the T Shirts Stupid
The latest briefing to the Flag OT Committee has revealed the "Something Very Special At The End" of the Super Special "Turning Point" replay of the 20 year old video event -- T-shirts!!! But not just ANY old t-shirts. They are "designed by Giorgio Armani." I posted yesterday about the desperation. This is a whole new level. I don't think anything further need be said: Public Officer FSO, Mathilde briefed us about the event this weekend on Saturday night. She said that this will be the Summer IAS Event like that which is usually held on the Freewinds at Maiden Voyage Anni … [Read more...]
The International Association of Scams
Here is some update information about the activities of the International Association of Scams. Now you too can get one of those neato IAS jackets, portfolios or messenger bags to make your outfit complete. Note the "quote" that is used here without attribution: "The single most dauntless, defiant and resolute group this world has ever seen". Dear Leader is going to be raising hell about that... It is interesting that orgs now have "targets" for the IAS and "targets" for "Ideal Org fundraising" -- I wonder if they have any targets for auditors made or releases? Probably the only "tar … [Read more...]
