This is a "milestone"? That they might at some point gather enough money to buy a building for this tiny, perpetually failing "org"? Scientology has hype-inflation. Their hype keeps growing less and less believable so they have to keep ratcheting up the hype... It's like rolling in wheelbarrows full of cash to buy a loaf of bread during hyperinflation. They roll in wheelbarrows of over-the-top descriptions for the most mundane of events. They're going to have some hula dancing and a "surprise" -- they have two "guest speakers" along with the "Hawaii Fundraising Project In-Charge." … [Read more...]
“Space Is Limited”
It seems we have heard this song before. This is a MUST-SEE that has been out now for a couple of months and all 10 people the are active scientologists in Sacramento saw it the first week it was released (this is the video of the amazing photo ops of spraying Decon 7 around in various locations and handing out booklets on social distancing). "Space is limited" is completely wishful thinking. How ridiculous? This is a promo piece produced centrally and sent out to the orgs. They add their image at the top and email it to the sheeple. Below is a different version of the same … [Read more...]
An “Ideal Nation”
The farce continues. These people continue to believe there is something of value to having an "Ideal Nation." That achieving this will be a "victory" and is something that is important to "race" to accomplish. What they mean is that all EXISTING Orgs in the US will have a newly renovated building. They have been going on these kicks for some time about "An All Ideal California" or "All Ideal Florida" as if this represents a great advance for mankind. Their "victories" have been meaningless. As I have said plenty of times here, there are already "ideal nations" where the existing … [Read more...]
Ideal Org “Good News”
This is a collection of standard issue, cookie-cutter scientology mirages, misrepresentations and lies. If you see a promo piece from a scientology org, "ideal" or otherwise, you know you will be witnessing some bs. Let's start at the top. This is their collection of "Good News" -- the best news they can come up with in this ideal org. And that consists of a single "success story" from someone who is already a Class V auditor and has already read "all the basics" upon completion of the Technique 88 lecture series. For those unfamiliar, the Technique 88 lectures … [Read more...]
Toronto Files Fail
OMG! Toronto is thinking about finishing their files. Like every single org on earth, they are incapable, even in this age of computers, of keeping their paper files up to date. They probably have millions of pieces of paper lying around unfiled since the 70's and now, 20 years after the "ideal org" evolution began, they are going to handle their backlog. One might ask the question, what have they been doing for 20 years? One of the only orgs on earth that was not required to buy a new building in order to become "ideal" they have sat frozen in time since 2003 unable to raise the money … [Read more...]
Dublin is Not So Ideal
Dublin is one of the stranger scientology orgs on earth. An enormous investment was made into this organization in a country where scientology has never been even remotely popular. There was a small, failing, bankrupt mission in Dublin. That was the extent of scientology's presence. Miscavige then bought one of the "Hubbard Offices" to try to preserve his "legacy" (and as a way of spending money for IRS purposes). For a short while Hubbard had an office in Merrion Square in Dublin where he delivered the "Personal Efficiency" course which was supposed to be the tool that boomed scientology. … [Read more...]
Lords of Ideal
These people are losing their shit. They come up with the stupidest crap to make everything a "game". Funny how it's not a "game" when it comes to handing over cash, and very much not a game when they have maxed out your credit cards, you’ve gotten a second mortgage and now you have declared bankruptcy after giving in to their very unfunny demands. Think about this. At this point, every org in WUS except Albuquerque and Hawaii are "ideal." They pretty much have an "ideal Continent" -- they HAVE an "ideal" California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. This is what they say i … [Read more...]
Another Ideal Org Fail
So much to unpack here. This is an "Ideal Org" -- Miscavige flew in and yanked his ribbon in January 2017. An "ideal org" that in 4 years, like all the rest of them, has gone nowhere, let alone St. Hill Size. According to Hubbard, they should have attained St. Hill Size in a "matter of weeks" and there should be a Universe Corps team there getting all the staff through their OT levels. Instead, the ED and OES have just now completed their Objectives! Yes, the course that comes right after the introductory TR's course and before any metered auditing takes place. And they are … [Read more...]
Another Ideal Org Taking The World By Storm
As a companion to the post yesterday about Sydney "ideal" org comes this from Perth. Since the beginning of civilization (which according to Hubbard begins with the release of Dianetics -- hence 2020 is really "AD 70") Perth has been a lonely and pathetic outpost in the scientology world. Nothing much has ever happened there with the exception of buying a new building. And literally, that was it. They got new premises out in the sticks and it has stayed as moribund as it had been for the previous 40 or 50 years. They are not even up to thinking about "going SH Size." They are stoked by … [Read more...]
Still Not St Hill Size — And Never Will Be
Sydney "ideal" org has gotten quite a lot of airtime on this blog as they send out promotional items that are routinely forwarded to me. Also because Australian -- and Sydney happens to be my favorite city in the world (close second, London). They, like all the other "ideal" orgs are evidence of the complete failure of this "bright idea" program in every respect other than swelling the coffers of scientology. For those of you who have not been around scientology for the last 25 years, let me explain how this "ideal org" program got started. It was a confluence of (un)fortunate … [Read more...]
