Next in the series from our intrepid IAS Fact Checker. His/her work is greatly appreciated. The Good, the Bad and the UglyPart Three – Building a Better Worldby Natasha Boris As a simple guide to better living, The Way to Happiness booklet follows basically understood moral codes that can be easily agreed upon by many people. There have been plenty of write-ups done by others exposing the flaws in the costing to produce and print but we had to ask, how many people are actually getting them? Is the world becoming a better place in the areas that have had distribution? The IAS claims they ass … [Read more...]
Help This Man Save The World NOW! Where Is The IAS?
Read this NOW!!! It is URGENT!! The world is coming to an end SOON!!! Act NOW!! Boston is taking the lead in the Nutball Stakes -- zooming past the Valley Comic Doorknobs with this follow up to their fridge magnet email. But the real question about this is WHERE IS THE IAS WHEN YOU NEED IT? Surely the IAS could spring $150 for 1200 DVDs to be run at Gold and $100 to ship them out. This is after all a Humanitarian program (that I fully support) and it could get a LOT of "good PR". So, why is Kevin Hall having to BEG people to give him money to get DVDs that the church can run off at … [Read more...]
The IAS — The Black Heart of the Scientology Vulture Culture
The history of the International Association of Scientologists is worth knowing. Its initial value (in 1984) as a repository of funds outside the reach of the IRS in 1984 may be debated. It seemed like a good way of protecting money. The IAS had nothing to do with the “Portland Crusade” though David Miscavige has made it part of his history now. (As a note, the "winning tradition" born in Portland is another sleight of hand -- the losing tradition of a $39 million judgment was born in Portland and then carried on in Los Angeles with another judgment for Wollersheim that was NOT vacated in sp … [Read more...]
IAS Human Rights Claims — Fact Check
Next in the series of efforts to fact check the vague claims of "what your support for the IAS buys". Of interest is that virtually no update of the IAS site has been done since 2007. The same unverifiable generalities are there from when the site was first created. Kudos to Natasha Boris for performing the thankless task of wading through the bs to try to verify any smallest specific that may have slipped into the pages of the IAS website. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Part Two – Human Rights by Natasha Boris From the Human Rights Reference Handbook: “Human rights are ‘commonly under … [Read more...]

IAS Applied Scholastics Programs — Fact Check
This is the first in a series of postings, fact checking claims made by Corporate Scientology. There will be more. The Original "Fact Checker" (see Freedom Magazine 2009) Mike Rinder The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Part One - Salvaging Education by Natasha Boris The International Association of Scientologists makes several claims on its website. This series is about investigating the truth behind those statements. First, it should be noted that there is very little reference to L. Ron Hubbard on the homepage. There are … [Read more...]
Golden Age of The Vulture Culture
This "success"/ IAS promo piece/COB PR release was recently sent to me. While I am sure Kathy Feshbach had wins, there is a huge elephant sitting in the middle of her gushing wonderment at the brilliance of COB. How can an OT VIII, Class VIII "Full Golden Age of Knowledge" completion conclude that the most valuable thing for her to do is be a full time reg for the IAS? I guarantee you in everything she studied there was not A SINGLE MENTION of the IAS. I guarantee you also that she missed a whole lot of references to the value of auditors and auditing. Somehow … [Read more...]
Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
A number of people formerly involved in David Miscavige's international festivals of Shermanspeak and Computer Generated Images have noted that many of the videos showing "accomplishments" are in fact staged by Golden Era and presented as "real". Children are rounded up and put into videos of supposed "education programs" that last as long as the cameras are rolling and not a minute longer. Orgs are "filled" with pcs and students consisting of staff and friends, family and any warm body that can be rounded up to make the HGC and courserooms look busy. Relief efforts are rigged just for the … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Is A Squirrel — L. Ron Hubbard Says So
There is a constant stream of demands for funds from Scientologists to finance David Miscagive's follies. From his PI's and rented Peeping Tom outposts (spying on detractors) to the waste of useless printed promotion and massive numbers of useless books sent to libraries. But that sort of insanity should be fairly easy to see. There is a more covert but perhaps more pervasive side of the story of financial crimes. One that is highlighted by a widely circulated email from the relentless "fundraisers" for "Ideal Orgs." Just as with the LRH Birthday Game, they are foisting off apparent LRH q … [Read more...]
The IAS Scam Keeps Rolling Along
Here is some of the latest IAS trickery brought to you by full time IAS “fundraiser” Kathy Feshbach. First up – the “National Church of Scientology” as in the old DC org building (Fraser Mansion). This become the “Div 6” when the new DC Ideal Org building was purchased, but has apparently been repurposed as the “new National Affairs Office” with a “Grand Opening” conducted by none other than the Donald Trump of religious real estate investing, David Miscavige. That building has done double duty with TWO grand openings presided over by the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology property portfo … [Read more...]
