This email was forwarded to me by a number of people this morning, incredulous that they are STILL trying to collect money for Palace Miscavige. At this point, it is on automatic. The first thought in Corporate Scientology is "Give me your money" and ANY reason/excuse will do. No matter how lame, unreal or downright stupid it is. After all, "any outflow is good" and the ONLY thing that really counts is MONEY. The derision LRH displayed for the GI stat push in orgs is well-known. This is way beyond that -- as back in those days there was some significance of a service associated with the … [Read more...]
Super Power — It’s Official “Sometime in September”
In typical Keystone Kops fashion, the world is informed of the planned dates for the "Grand Opening" of "The Mecca Building" and release of Super Power and GAG II and the Mark VIII meter and, and, and... in early October. BUT, the Chief Super Power Reg sent an email 3 days ago TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO THE EVENT and she is STILL NOT GIVING A DATE! In fact, she is telling people to come in September and that the Grand Opening and IAS event will be in September and October. And this is an email telling people to get visas and make their travel and accommodations reservations. Are things really … [Read more...]
Big Brother Is Watching
The "friendliest place in the world" is losing its lustre. In fact, it is becoming downright creepy. This is from the latest "OT" Committee Meeting Minutes -- my highlighting in red: "Emmett Osborn, OTC Dir IAS Field Dissemination, come up to brief us about the winners of the recent IAS Game with the prize of a special pin for getting 2 status upgrades, 2 Lifetime Memberships or a donation on $10,000. He presented gifts of special lapel pins, engraved pens and one-of-a-kind shoulder bags to the winners, Kaye Champagne and Tom Cummins. Emmett re-briefed us on the new IAS Game t … [Read more...]
Super Power Grand Opening Hype
Lauri "We Are Opening This Year For Sure" Webster is leading the cheering section to get everyone routed onto Purif and Objectives "NOW" so they are "ready for Super Power." You can read some of her recent emails below starting with the most recent. While they really speak for themselves, I have noted some significant things after each: Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2013 From: Lauri Webster <lauri.w@cos.flag.org>Subject: Important: Grand Opening Data Needed Dear Cornerstone Member, As I told you in my last email, the new Building will be opening beforeOctober (E.g., we will open in S … [Read more...]
Voldemort Update 26 July
The hype seems to be slowing down, the gushing praise for Him seems to be subsiding and the insanity of what is "news" seems to be reaching lower levels as each week goes by... Here is last night’s report: IAS Event at Flag: The preparations for the IAS event are well underway. The mega tent is on the way to the US by ship, and due to arrive in 3 weeks to Miami. It will be transported to CW, and then placed between the parking garage and Fort Harrison Avenue. Dave noted that it will be visible to all tourists who are going to the beach, so they will notice the presence of Scientology in the c … [Read more...]
Superpower Step One – The Ethics Repair List
This was submitted by one of our Special Correspondents -- Roy McGregor. I felt it worthy of its own post rather than just being a comment. I do believe there is another element not really covered here that is going to make this fail. People are conditioned how to think in the church. They KNOW what they can and cannot say. Even in session. It is why you do not find people coming up with David Miscavige or Julian Schwartz or Charmaine Roger as their PTS Items. Factually, being "in session" within the church of Scientology is impossible these days. There are too many taboos. And thus c … [Read more...]
Superpower — The Facts
A write up by Dan Koon about Super Power has just appeared on Operation Clambake (see here). Because I have had so much to say about the subject of its "imminent" release, I am republishing Dan's write up here in full (though if you want the attachments referenced, go to Clambake, I have not attached them or linked to them here). If there is one person who knows the story of Super Power -- what it contains and what it is supposed to accomplish -- it is Dan Koon. His recollections may help distinguish the hype from reality and help make clear just what a boondoggle the entire Super Power … [Read more...]
Super Power Hype Inflation
By Mike Rinder This email was sent out on 7 March. Tony Ortega put it on his blog on March 13. However, I feel it bears a little more scrutiny as one of the most jarring emanations from the twisted world of the RCS (Radical Church of Scientology) in recent memory. Apparently the sickening irony of it is missed by those in the bubble. Standing "at the crossroads of whole track history and necessity level” (lifted straight from a Shermanspeak speech?) they proclaim that they have the answer to all planetary ills from war, drugged children, drug trafficking, poverty, crime, only 6% of the planet … [Read more...]
Who Is To Blame For No Superpower? YOU, of course… Updated
Another in the now familiar pattern of “blame it on you” from Radical Corporate Scientology announced that Super Power cannot be released until 500 MORE sign up for the Sea Org. The “thousand” already recruited just wasn’t enough it seems…. David Miscavige needed a new excuse as to why this "vital tech that will salvage planet earth" (and was promised in 6 weeks in 1979) STILL isn't being employed to Clear the Planet. It became obvious that the problem really wasn't that it required a special building and not enough money had been raised (odd, there was NO mention of special buildings for Sup … [Read more...]
