Here is some new news from the "booming" ideal org in Auckland. Remember, this is the PROMOTION they send out -- it is what they are proud of. 3 completions. Yes, THREE. They should be having 3 completions per hour and even then would not be St Hill Size. This is how far they are from being a viable concern. I love the optimism of "save your seat" -- they are literally wandering around in an empty building... And finally, the ever delusional "we are going St Hill Size" and that they are "a new movement on earth"... This is pure idiocy. If they can round up 50 … [Read more...]
Not Santa Barbara Ideal Org
The new "ideal org" that is no longer in Santa Barbara (they'll just have to without an org now) has the welcoming appeal of the Death Star or Tower of Mordor. A couple of our faithful readers recently drove by to check it out. Right alongside the freeway in Ventura, it is hardly an "ideal" location (the current org is right in downtown Santa Barbara). This is the only property that adjoins the "ideal org" -- bustling with people 24/7 it is a warm and inviting look. But, to make up for this terrible location, they are going to … [Read more...]
Another Aftermath Foundation Success
I mentioned recently that we would have a write up from one of latest people helped by the The Aftermath Foundation. Here it is. With some interesting insight into the reality of the latest "ideal org" demonstrating the massive international expansion of scientology. I was introduced to the world of Scientology in June of 2012 when I traveled from Utah to Michigan to do the Narconon program at the "Freedom Center" in Albion. After completing the program I was recruited to remain at the Narconon center as a staff member, which is a common practice at Narconon. I was a withdrawal … [Read more...]
Scientology Financial Crimes, New Zealand Edition
Can you imagine the level of unethical loan activities that must be going on in this "ideal" org to elicit a Facebook posting like this? And can you imagine the trouble Jessica F S Brown has landed herself in by daring to quote L. Ron Hubbard to prove someone(s) in the "ideal org" in Auckland are acting improperly? And there are people responding on FB -- they had better be prepared to hand over some more cash in order to keep the Ethics Officer at bay... Well Well, it didnt take long. Since I wrote this post (but before it was published) this FB message … [Read more...]
Empty Buildings, Empty Promises
The saga of empty "ideal" orgs continues. Miscavige shows up to yank his ribbon, they import people from out of town to make a "crowd" -- always inflated by a factor of at least 5 -- they take photos and video and then the circus leaves and things settle back into the normal void on nothingness it always was. Except the few footsteps echo in large, deserted marble halls now, instead of the moldy carpets of an old strip mall. Desperate to get anyone to come into their empty palace, they start promoting for people to hold "events and functions" -- because they don't know what else to do … [Read more...]
St Louis Blues – An Epic Ideal Org Scam
In truth, every "ideal org" is a scam -- but some are scammier than others. Boston comes to mind. New Haven and Battle Creek that have sat empty and neglected for more than a decade. But St Louis might be the greatest scam of idealiness of all. In terms that scientologists can really relate to -- it is epic, monumental and watershed. Here are a few relevant details: In 2007 scientology bought a new building that was to become their "ideal org." In 2010, the org ED, Chad Lane, announces in the St Louis Post Despatch * "the nearly 65,000 sq.ft. building is the ideal size for expansion in t … [Read more...]
Detroit Ideal Org Fail
Ok, this is an “ideal” org. According to scientology this means instant “10x expansion.” This is the promotional piece they put together to let everyone know what a great job they are doing. Notice anything missing? The biggest crowd they can apparently manage is 10 people in the chapel -- staff and public combined. And always great to see a kid looking at the pictures of the fake people in the org mag... This is the REAL result of the ideal org program. Same people. More real estate holding. … [Read more...]
Recruiting Up A Storm
The "Ideal Org" in Melbourne (where you can "have it all" -- guitars, Mercedes', kids etc) seems to be having some difficulty locating a few good men. They are advertising on a site called "SeekVolunteer" to try to fill various staff positions. Some of them are quite amusing. But certainly these "volunteers" are not going to be able to "have it all" like the ads promote... You see the Largest Private Relief Force on earth is advertising for volunteers to come help "dispense indiscriminate help"? How strange is that? And offering "free" trips to Japan, Nepal, Taiwan etc. (they … [Read more...]
Clearing the USA
More scientology bubble delusion. Hey guys, just a couple of things for you to consider. All the orgs in the LA area are ideal (and there are more of them than anywhere on earth) -- how are you doing clearing the LA area? If you made a total of 100 Clears in the last year between all the LA area orgs it would be VERY surprising. And certainly nowhere close to 1,000. At that rate, you're not even going to clear 3 blocks around each org this century. You've got your NY, Harlem and Buffalo ideal orgs. How's it going clearing NY State? Florida is "fully ideal" -- even has Ideal … [Read more...]
The Irony of Ideal Boston
Boston was the org spoken of in such glowing terms by L. Ron Hubbard in LRH ED 339R-1: They are proof -- way back in the early 70's (and written about by Hubbard in 1982) that a new building has nothing to do with expansion. Since Hubbard wrote thus in 1982 there have been exactly zero orgs in the world that have achieved St Hill size and remained so. Yet Hubbard claimed Boston had done it in the 70's. And they did it in the OLD building they had on Beacon St. They SOLD that because that one was not good enough (seemed like it was fine for Hubbard?). That was about 10 YEARS ago … [Read more...]
