More bizarre news from Denver via IAS Freedom Medal winner Meghan Fialkoff. While Denver HCO are busy trying to ferret out whether anyone in their field is NOT disaffected, they had some pretty remarkable news (though you have to wonder if there was anyone there to hear it). Apparently, like L. Ron Hubbard announcing the exact 12 men on planet earth who were trying to stop scientology, it seems Meghan Fialkoff has found THE PERSON responsible for the "entire drug epidemic and drug pushing" in this country. This has got to be a powerful dude. Anyone who attended this event, I would … [Read more...]
Scientology Expasion is Biggest In History
Michael D splains the expasion which is the biggest in history (and yes, he spells it wrong twice in the opening para). He may be an IAS Freedom Medal Winner but it does not mean he can spell (he probably did the Student Hat too -- that apparently was no help either). Of course, it's ALWAYS the biggest in history... But let me ask you something Michael. What measure of expasion are you using? Certainly not the number of new orgs and missions opened. There were none. Certainly not the number of OT VIII's made. Nor the number of new people into scientology. Or courses … [Read more...]
The Hypocrisy of the IAS
Today is "Giving Tuesday" -- the idea is to stimulate online charitable giving to help those in need. When I got the email from the IAS I had to google this to see if it was a "thing" or just the latest invention of scientology to get people to part with their money. Here is the first thing that showed up on my google search -- and it is a typical example of the orrganizations that participate in this: But here is what is even more important about this organization and others who participate in this program: Yes, 85% of the money they raise goes to those in need. And their … [Read more...]
IAS Hype
Time for some IAS hype about the annual Celebration. It's slightly dated, but a bit of fun nevertheless. They spin themselves into such a frenzy all I can think about is the old cartoon of the Tasmanian Devil. This is what the town criers who try to excite the sheeple remind me of... Everything is SO over the top. It is like an insane tornado of superlatives and absurd descriptions of their minimal accomplishments it is like a parody. Here is the poster: How many times have they said "The time is now"? 50? 100? The "torch is lit" -- "we are on the launching pad", "the … [Read more...]
Desperate Times Call For…
My oh my -- trying to smear lipstick on the IAS pig. Clearly, the number of new members is plummeting. So, as with all things scientology, the answer is money. In this case, cut the cost of the membership to try to get more. But if the cost of admission of $500 is too high -- these people are NOT going to be able to be scientologists. You cannot buy anything of significance in scientology for $500. So, they just want NUMBERS and they clearly believe that if they charge less they are going to get more membership sign ups and annual renewals. But they are ignoring the most obvious … [Read more...]
Helping Billions
Our old buddy Colin Davie is at it again. This guy might well be one of the most unreal people on planet earth. He is also the perfect example of the money-grubber who is unembarrassed to say literally anything to try and get you to hand over your cash. In an environment when ridiculous hype showers down from the top, the world of scientology is a culture of lies - but even in that context this guy is breathtaking. He is like watching one of those "professional eaters" who stuffs 75 hot dogs down their throats in one minute. Mesmerizing, disgusting and weird all at once. Someone actually l … [Read more...]
IAS Freedom Medal Winners
Someone sent me this letter from Audrey Cabrera, who is apparently on tour to get people to hand over more money to the IAS. Her claim to fame? Bringing peace to Venezuela with the Way To Happiness? And this is STILL being pushed as the reason to give more money to the IAS. Today, Venezuelan society is in a total meltdown, making headlines daily with massive violent protests, inflation spiraling out of control, starving people and a collapsed economy. After having already "won" in Venezuela some years ago, she is now pitching the "anti-social personalities" she is up against as a … [Read more...]
A Slavery Free World
Do you think Marisol Nichols has a clue about human trafficking? I don't. If she did she would be briefing them on the changes the IAS has enforced at Gold to reduce human trafficking there. After all, why not start at home? You don't need to go to Africa to find real human trafficking. To help Marisol identify human trafficking victims, here are some indicia that might be used: Holding someone's passport - especially when they come from a foreign country Restricting access to the outside world through physical means and by mental coercion Living and working in the same location -- e … [Read more...]
The IAS Is Lying, Again
This is a recent promo piece put out by the IAS. It would lead one to believe that it is the IAS that "reached" 117 million people with the WTH over the last 12 months. That the hundreds of millions of dollars they receive annually is what finances the "4th Dynamic campaigns." Remember all the promotion you see from the IAS about how their job is to carry out the "4th Dynamic" campaigns to salvage earth? And how THEY are the ones who are doing this to "guarantee the future of scientology"? This one appeared in the Thursday Funnies edition a couple of weeks ago. Well, if the … [Read more...]
The IAS Hard at Work
People inside the scientology bubble really believe this stuff. How many absurdities do there have to be before they notice? First, if the IAS is truly "every moment of every day" keeping the "light burning bright" -- "everywhere" with their massive Volunteer Minister force -- you would expect they might have something to brag about that happened this year.... The tornadoes in Texas were in 2015. Second, as ALWAYS there are NO SPECIFICS on what was done, how much money was spent on the "relief efforts" or how many people were even involved. From the picture it looks like they … [Read more...]
