The good news?
Things are falling to pieces at the Mecca of Technical Perfection and Vulture Capital of The World.
In the face of GAG II, the brilliant ideal org strategy, the most massive international dissemination campaigns in history and the period of greatest expansion ever, the stats are crashing and the crowds are dwindling. Even with He Who Shall Not Be Named present.
Check out these numbers and compare them to the previous reports below. Perhaps the worst week we have a record of (since the release of GAT II in the circus tent)… And now they are trying to cover it up with “success stories” right in their “stat report.” When stats are bad, wax enthusiastic.
Compared to the earlier postings, this is how the stats look (these figures are earliest weeks first, the latest reports added to the end).
Super Power: 21 24 23 21 20 10 15 23 25 31 11 12 16 19 15 19 19 19 18 14 28 24 25 26 40 24 22 14 21 21 21

But you can predict we will be seeing more “clears” as they round up all the old people who were once declared clear, then undeclared and with the “new tech just as LRH wanted” they will be announced as clear all over again. It’s amazing how many times one person can mock up, realize they mocked up, forget about mocking up, unmock, re-mock and rep-unmock their reactive mind.
But, there is more “Good News” from Flag as lipstick is liberally applied to another pig and presented to the world as Miss Universe.
He Who Shall Not Be Named is baaacckk at Flag for the “grand opening” of the new “Information Center” (Tony Ortega appropriately dubbed it a “Potemkin Village”).
Of course, the instant they put up their hype-release I am sent a link by some anonymous “OSA good news” bot. Thank goodness they keep me in the loop with all the good news.
In case you were wondering, Shermanspeak is alive and well. And there were a few gems I couldn’t allow to go by uncommented upon.
Four thousand Scientologists and their guests converged on downtown Clearwater for a ribbon-cutting dedication Saturday, July 11 in celebration of the new Church of Scientology Information Center, expanding the religion’s renowned and globally impactful humanitarian programs into a central expansive hub astride the religion’s spiritual headquarters, the Flag Land Base….
Of course, the photo on scientology.org shows nowhere near that number – but their exaggerations are getting less. Remember the absurd numbers for the SP Building opening?
But significantly, later in the hypefest they repeat their claim that Clearwater is home to 10,000 scientologists.
Clearwater is the permanent home to more than 10,000 Scientology parishioners. Moreover, tens of thousands of Scientologists travel to the city each year from around the world to participate in religious services at the Church’s spiritual home.
So, I guess an appearance of Dear Leader only attracts 40% of the dedicated scientologists in Clearwater? Oh, but they also claim they have 2000 staff and 2000 public from around the world at any given time. And you know THEY were ALL there. So I guess that means the remaining 6000 local scientology parishioners just didnt bother to show up at all… Dear Leader’s magnetism appears to be wearing off.
Of course, the “Information Center” is a DUPLICATE of the ground floor of the SP Building which was always presented to the city as being where people could come in and get the answers about scientology. And the entire floor IS a “public information” center.
But after building that monster, Miscavige decided he didn’t want any “wogs” in a building where he has an office, so they have sat empty and unused for more than a year.
A few million dollars later, and “presto” a Potemkin Village of Disneyworld storefronts to promote the “impactful” humanitarian programs (sadly, no Narconon presence, though there is a Criminon, wonder why…)
Clearwater is known as the spiritual headquarters of the Church of Scientology, and to answer questions about the religion for residents and those visiting the city, the Church opens the doors on this information center.
—Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center
Designed as an open-door informational meeting spot, the Information Center features a full biographical display illuminating the extraordinary life and legacy of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard—from his childhood to his career as an author before the advent of Dianetics and Scientology, as well as his revolutionary body of work in establishing and defining the religion itself.
This is virtually identical to what was said about the SP Building.
I wonder how long it will be before the windows of this new “open-door informational meeting spot” are covered up like the windows of the ground floor of the SP building and EVERY other scientology building in downtown Clearwater? Because people CAN actually see in and observe that absolutely NOTHING is happening and once a few more shots appear on the internet (Mark Bunker put up the first of them on Tony Ortega’s blog yesterday) I guarantee you “hiding tech” is going to be visible.
Plenty of tourists come to visit the “Winter” dolphin aquarium display just a block away, but not a single one of them would ever venture into the Potemkin Village, and of course, no Clearwater resident is going to visit the “dead zone” of downtown Clearwater. And no public at Flag are going to be walking the street to go see the WTH — those regges will be collaring them in the restaurants and by the pool…
Once again, this is a show for the clubbed seals. And so Miscavige can watch himself in a video clip yanking a ribbon at the next IAS event in the UK in October.
Graphs and short analysis of data here:

The first seven values for “Cause Resurgence” are wrong (the same as “Clears”). Corrected values can be found in the link above.
Best regards,S.
Only 5 Clears…. ridiculous. Billions of people on the planet & 10’s of 1,000’s Scientologist ‘s all over the world & only 5 Clears. C’mon…..
Failing on flunk on all levels.
R2-45 to the rescue.
‘It’s amazing how many times one person can mock up, realize they mocked up, forget about mocking up, unmock, re-mock and re-unmock their reactive mind.’
You’re on top form with this one, Mike – real funny.
The irony though,and maybe not so funny, is that matey boy probably had the exact same cognition a while ago and has been exploiting it ever since!
El Con was a genius crim. Convince people to imagine [and believe] in a mental malady then, charge them big bucks to get them to realize that it never existed. BT’s were his biggest scam money wise though when it can to this.
“next IAS event in the UK in October” – just as soon as the RPF slaves of the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology are done digging a moat all the way around Stain Hill so that Captain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige won’t have to wake up to a dawn chorus of SPs. Mission Impossible, I hear you say, but nothing is impossible to the members of the Damnation Navy!
Davenation Navy.
Being a big Lovecraft fan, I think about think about Innsmouth every time I think of Downtown Clearwater…a scary cult-controlled town intent on turning everyone who arrives into monsters…or destroying them if they disagree.
I have a Regraded Being idea. It would be a sort of one-off, but entertaining. In 2016, DM and some other execs like Jenny Linson or Marc Yager get called in to review the tax exempt status. It’s going well until people sneak up and freeze them in alcohol and glycol, load them into a DC8 space plane, and transport them to a prison planet where they’re dropped into volcanoes and blown up with H-bombs. Their thetans get led into giant drive-in movie theaters and watch Battlefield Earth. . . and then they wake up in he hole and are glad that none of it was real.
Too damned funny….
I’ll bet if you wrote it up and sent it in to Writers of the Future, you’d win a prize. It’s really good stuff.
Maybe call it “Revolting in the Stars”
Hi Regraded Being,You have my number!From the moment that gem was announced at a special SO briefing,I have called it Revolting In The Stars.Still makes me smile today! Love all your work always Ann.
Hi Ryan Kelly, Good to meet you.I was reading your post & then I became aware of the word Star Bucks & realized what a perfect tie in for cos.Must be part of their territory as that is what David Miscavige has always wanted, more money more idiot bodied whales celebs etc.Ann.
Haggard old Dave looks like he’s on the crest of becoming an alcoholic. I also have a sneaking suspicion that he may well be dabbling in certain substances and you can correct me if I’m wrong.
I read an article today about Sara Goldberg. At one point it is described that Sara and her husband met Scientology officials at a nearby Starbucks and they were escorted one at a time over to a room in a nearby Church building for some sort of justice action. Are they really using a Starbucks as a sort of waiting room for people they are disciplining and don’t want them waiting in their own lobby? Can anyone go to that Starbucks or is it considered part of their territory?
The picture of dumb-dumb on the opening page is hilarious.
It looks like dumb-cabbage went doo-doo in his diapers.
Is she Jason True’s mother? Jason is becoming a big, bad, suited-type security goon at PAC. See AGP’s several hilarious (as always) videos featuring Jason True. He has a gun permit and all. Must give him a little woody.
Another hilarious metaphor above in Mike’s final lines: Miscavige “yanking the ribbon”! How great! “Go yank your ribbon.” It’s so rich in naughty undertones. “Go yank your ribbon on Hollywood Boulevard!” COB’s guards accidentally walked in and caught him “yanking the ribbon.” Hahahaha!
He’s a yankee doodie dandy.
Dave’s a yanking wanking dandy
Yanking wanking, do or die
A real usurper of his dear old Ron
Born with a cash hungry eye
Davey hasn’t got a sweetheart
He prefers his adult toys
Yanking Davey came to town
Just to pull a ribbon
Dave is the yanking wanking boy
Hi MM, You keep those hits coming,& I will keep them around to warm me when at times the real cost of this fight kicks in.Thank you Ann.
Okie dokie Ann.
Yeah he is accomplishing so much and so many people want to hear him that emails are going out in our area to gather more people for the final MV event. More numbers going vertically down.
Dear OTC,
I am reaching out to you to help me get ethics in on the group.
Maiden Voyage is amongst some of the most important events that we have in Scientology and the attendance this year has been abysmal. This last event we had 104 confirms, 89 reconfirms but only 65 public showed up (7 of which being children). I really need the internal pressure to go on to get the entire field, including yourselves, to this last Maiden Voyage event.
ARC, PES SNC
Consider it fun sir – I mean done.
Well done, with a fork in it.
Dear POS SNC,
It’s all downhill from here. Get used to it.
MH, HGC
David Miscavige looks like the Crypt Keeper in that photo and in stark contrast to the beauties that compete in the Miss Universe pageant. The alien spaceship hovers above the auditorium and the girls are beamed down onto the stage. The ones from Latin America are the real showstoppers but I digress…
“David Miscavige issuing statements that anyone is “self-absorbed” is pretty rich. Next he is going to start accusing people of being short.”
Reminds me of the Cold War days. One of the ways the CIA kept track of any new plots the Soviets got up to was to read the newspapers. Frequently, whatever horrible, nefarious actions the U.S. got accused of in Soviet press releases just so happened to reflect a new current KGB or Soviet policy and/or activity. They’d accuse us of what they were doing first!
Dave,
Good news update:
El Chapo has evaded the consequences of his crimes against humanity once again. His network is purported to be worth about 3 billion and have about 10,000 members in the USA. Does this description seem somewhat familiar to you?
What is taking Wallace and Lamont so long to do their dirty work in Texas? Have you raked them over the coals or given them a deadline?
Be sure to order all of your cadre and minions not to attend any of the Steely Dan performances at the Hollywood Bowl. Tell them that it would be out-PR for them to cast a chill over the Ideal Southern California Weather at this venue.
Looking forward to reporting your statistics, tomorrow at 2pm? Are your horrendous delivery stats — date coincident with your strong arming your way to positions of control — still on trend?
Looks like Kathy True didn’t get the “get a life” memo that was going around 35 years ago.
Five clears per week. Of course, when you compare that to the US population growth, it’s laughable to see those numbers against the backdrop of “clearing the planet.” But let’s look at how well Scientology is doing against a much more modest goal, “clearing Clearwater.”
The birth rate in Pinellas County was 9.2 per 1,000 population in 2012-2013. The population of Clearwater was 109,000 in the 2010 census. Thus, there are about 1,000 babies born in Clearwater in any one year (the exact number is 1,002).
So, Dave, if all your frantic gyrations from your hundreds of Sea Org staffers to get people to Flag to get them to go “Clear” is getting 5 people a week from all over the country to go Clear, but the birth rate in just one small city in one county in one state in one country of one planet is 20 per week, then you are completely and utterly screwed. You are falling significantly behind the birth rate of your home turf. It’s particularly embarrassing if this is one of the biggest concentrations of Scientologists on the planet and most of those going clear are imported from somewhere else.
For one thing, with all those Scientologists who are all getting such impressive wins from things like the improved “perception of computation (past and present)” and other perceptics razor-sharpened in the Super Power rundown (with its amazing oiliness table!), they ought to be doing so much dissemination that the expansion would have to be “straight up and vertical,” not a measly 5 clears per week…
Hey, Dave!
Quit worrying about clearing Florida!
Moving Flag to the Bogata Org looks really attractive!
Do it now! Before the slow, slow hand of Justice by the will of the people catches you!
It’s not all that bad. Just getting somebody to arrive at Flag means they will screw a maximum donation out of them and it is the total amount of donos extorted each week that count in the Church and nothing to do with processing. If processing was worth something then DM would get some himself and some for the Sea Org slaves.
Let’s do the math. Suppose they screw each person you see in the weeks stats for $30k then for this week they would get 94*$30k = $2.82m quite apart from the money the chumps blew on processing and accomodation in the Roach Motel. That’s quite an acceptable figure.
Roland,
You’ve put together some good thoughts on the potential cash haul at Flag. However, I think that $2.82 million a week is quite high. Mat Pesch, who was a Flag banking officer of some sort, has said (in this space as well as at Tony O’s blog) that Flag was typically hauling in $2 million a week about 10-15 years ago, when things were running far more smoothly.
It’s unlikely that the number is above that and is very likely to be smaller, down in the $1 million to $1.25 million per week range now (which isn’t that bad a decline, except that they have completely hollowed out AOLA, ASHO and other advanced orgs to keep the revenue even at that level).
I would suggest that much of the discrepancy can be explained by a) “outer org trainees” who are marooned at Flag for months learning all the GAT 2 stuff are some of those results, and b) public are doing multiple service completions for each agonizingly long stay at Flag, and thus aren’t giving $30,000 per result, just $30,000 for their entire stay.
It’s also useful to try to separate out donations to the IAS (regardless of whether they were made at Flag or elsewhere) from Flag’s revenue from programs. The $2 million/week figure from Mat Pesch was all services and likely did not include IAS donations. If you separate that out, the numbers directly attributable to “exchange” at Flag have got to suck huge amounts of wind.
RolandRB, I was at FSO when they regularly did ~$1 million/week. Based on how few people are on services now as compared to back then, I’d say that they would be lucky to be breaking $1/4 million/week now.
By FAR their biggest money maker is the L’s. They have shipped their Class XII’s out to FSC offices to drum up business. That means almost zero whales in that pipeline at Flag itself.
The Flag Bureau has failed to come-up with a program to revert these stats! AH HA!! the real WHY!! IS ” THE REVERTED ARE LEADING THE REVERTS” Hand me another scotch!! Fucking Flag pie faced shitheads.
I’ve got a single malt for you, Willie! However, it is at the beach here in southern California. But, you’re still welcome to stop by…
Thanks Surfer Dude for the offer. When I go to California I will look you up.
For anyone who may not be aware, the second season of Leah Remini’s show begins tonight on TLC at 9 EDT.
Hollywood Reporter just published a story about it and the insane response from scientology. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/leah-remini-scientology-all-relative-808800
Haha.
As if scientology would have voluntarily “expelled” Leah Remini. They hang onto child molesters for fear of bad publicity.
Leah told them to go f**k themselves when they wouldn’t explain what happened to Shelly Miscavige and other unexplainables.
David Miscavige issuing statements that anyone is “self-absorbed” is pretty rich. Next he is going to start accusing people of being short.
As usual, scientology “PR” statements help pour the fuel on any story.
The CoS can say whatever it wants but no one is listening. Thanks for the reminder to tune in to Leah’s show tonight. I will be watching.
“Next he is going to start accusing people of being short.” hehehe. OK, that was funny. 🙂 I’ve always wanted to see you make a short video with a puppet that looked like him sitting on your lap.. you could make him say stupid things. lol. :p
I was stunned that the season premiere of this show was so much about scientology! And Happy!
One thing Leah says that is not true is that if you walk away quietly, they will leave you alone but if you are noisy like she was they will declare you. THAT is if you are a celebrity.
I was willing to walk away quietly and I told them so. Not a word more would I have said – just to save my family (Yes, I would have sold out.) IT would not let me do that. If you are a lowly parishioner, they will declare you even if you walk away quietly. Well, IT did me a favor by declaring me because now I can live my own truth without fear of this church.
Anyway, I’d have to say, Leah has certainly done her fair share of saving people from the anguish of having been part of the church of scientology.
YEs Mary. That show packed a punch. And put things in terms the audience could relate to and understand. I don’t think anyone who watched it could have any response other than being pissed about what scientology tries to do to people and families.
Hi McCarran,Good post.Each will have their own experience and being that Leah has been treated as a celebrity while very much part of the cos,she will have her own opinion.She seems a nice person.As for me it has been my experience that no one involved in SO /OSA/Org & Mission staff are ever allowed to leave quietly.When I blew I was in Condition Treason,golden rodded & dead filed,& that was just the start of mailings to me from GOI that went on for some time.Nasty missives too.Cos plays for keeps & if David does not get what he wants…Temper swells to the front of the line.I wish her well with her show.-Ann.
I especially liked the part where Leah meets with her friends and they discuss their experiences in Scientology. They didn’t look like bitter defrocked apostates at all but a very nice group of ladies who have gotten their lives together after the Scientology experience. I’m happy for Leah that she’s moving forward with her life. She seems to be doing all the right things to recover from a lifetime in the CoS and is very lucky to have such a great family and circle of friends who support her and each other as well.
McCarron, I had the same experience. I just wanted to quietly walk away. But they wouldn’t let me and sent my staff members kids to spy on me and report back. They declared me in spite of the fact that I was willing to not say a word and just quietly leave. You’re right that they treat celeb differently than others.
Re-Mock your REACTIVE MIND with GAT II. Un-Mock your reactive mind with the basics and then Re-Mock it with the Purif. Wait a bit ….then Un Mock it with OBJ and TR’s the HARD WAY. Move up in Status to Un MOCK your BT’s Reactive Mind and them Un Mock it by refinancing your home to donate to the IAS. By then you will have cluster’s of BT’s and then you can Mock it up and start all over again.
Then….Join Staff and work for nothing while David MIscavige orders another warehouse of the finest Scotch….smokes himself into oblivion and slaps the nearest DB in his vicinity as he goes ballistic reading the book his father has coming out soon – about his “SECRET LIFE in Scientology and his apology to the World for spawning the demon – David Miscavige…and his Harrowing Escape”
It is called (drum roll) ..”LET HIM DIE”
coming soon to a book store nearest you.
We will be putting it in every library in the World to Suppress Scientology!
By the way, David Miscavige looks TERRIBLE. That dried out weather gray skin makes him look 80 years old.
“Moreover, tens of thousands of Scientologists travel to the city each year from around the world to participate in religious services at the Church’s spiritual home.”
ROFL! The insane crooks have at most some 30,000 remaining customers world wide, and if the crooks managed to get a couple of hundred third worlders to visit Florida in any year, that would be a miracle.
When I read announcements and promotion of their “accomplishments” it reminds me of a job in the porn industry: the fluffer.
That Sherman-Guy is Dear Leader’s Fluffer.
Of course, I have no idea what a “fluffer” is but at least that person can claim upright and vertical results for their work. I deny having said that.
The Chairman of no Board, Mister David Let Him Die Miscavige, cuts a ribbon and a watershed moment for the city of Clearwater is spawned! Maybe I’m being overly critical but I think the mayor or a high-ranking town official should have had the courtesy to be present for an event that marks the turning point of their city.
At the very least someone from Animal Control should have attended. The church has “international footholds” that address immorality through the distributing of pamphlets containing priceless information heretofore known only by people who have read Chinese fortune cookies and “parishioners spearheading humanitarian programs” resulting in the achieving of coveted certificates of status. This ribbon cutting which dwarfs (if I may use that word) in importance virtually most ribbon cutting ceremonies held at supermarkets or hardware stores, has clearly been snubbed by the local glitterati.
But just wait you small-town snobs. When Birmingham Org goes Ideal, it may very well host events for members of Parliament and perhaps even the Royal Family maybe, and then you’re going to feel mighty silly.
And the Chairman of no Board will be within his social rights to refuse your invitations, real or imagined, to power lunches and political dinners. Clearwater officials, it’s about time you think about what your city would be without the church of scientology!
A time may be coming soon when it’s not there anymore and let’s see how HAPPY you are then!
What a sad, sick little man.
It seems like the more the real world chuckles at the idiocy of the real estate-based strategy, and the more the REAL product that Scientology is supposed to be delivering (auditing and training) is buried, the further and faster Dear Leader pours the coals into the real estate plans. Is it only a matter of time before the whole of Clearwater is bought up? An entire town, Truman show style, complete with plastic smiling automatons, unlimited cctv and security watching you. Maybe this is what a cleared planet would look like.
“It’s amazing how many times one person can mock up, realize they mocked up, forget about mocking up, unmock, re-mock and rep-unmock their reactive mind.” Mike, brilliantly put.
Hi Martin Padfield, I like your post.Now when I picture A Cleared Planet I get freezing cold,do not blink for one hour,& walk around with a combination glazed fu look in my eyes & soul.Eerie & terrible,a Prison Planet Indeed.Light years away from my first clay demo on the Excalibur after a SO Tape where I showed two SO Members sticking a SO Flag thru the entire planet,like we were going to roast it in the fire & my little SO demo beings were laughing & hugging!Ann that is very creepy! I got an Apollo Star for it! Ann.
Hi White Star,Good to meet you & I like your name.Tony’s piece today made me ill also.Unfortunately I have first hand experience that seducing a wife or a husband or just doing it to break apart a relationship, is another though extreme way to keep SO Slaves under hypnotic suggestion & control.Mike & Christie were being true & strong not to comment.No need to add fuel to a raging fire already out of control.I feel deeply for them with all this stuff.Yet cos stoops lower & lower.Incidentally David Miscavige looks terrible I don t know if he goes for Botox in his face or just massive vitamins with scotch, but all the auditing & processing in the world can’t change a black heart & soul to white.Always Ann.
Purposefully attempting to break up a couple. What a truly ethical group of people they are, eh Ann.
Hi Gtsix, I hear you! I love the quote To Clear the Planet and put Ethics In On The Universe…I’m sure The Universe can’t wait.Unleash some nice black holes on the most ethical group on the planet & watch them go back to their future past and stay there with their ethics in ruins & smashed.Ehics= sadness,pain, & the least good across all dynamics,in other words Power Trip.Always Ann.
They’re the most ethical group on the planet. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha!!!!!!!
I tried. I really did try to keep that inside me. but…
In addition to Espiando’s Morrisey quote above, I’d add John Betjeman’s 1937 poem ‘Slough’, urging the elimination of the vulgar profiteers but sparing the young people who unwittingly do their work:
“Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn’t fit for humans now,
There isn’t grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
.
.
.
But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It’s not their fault that they are mad,
They’ve tasted Hell.”
Andrew
I can’t read this without picturing David Brent and his side commentary….
It has been about ten years since I was at Flag. A most unpleasant memory is the hateful “Welcome to Flag” routing form that I had to do every time I went there. I assume it is still in play, since it forced one to get regged by every organization known to $cn. But I don’t remember if Narconon was/is on that form. Anyone?
Like Caitlyn Jenner, COB should never leave the house without his face on.
He should, however, leave the hair as it is in this photo. You’re not fooling anyone with that ridiculous bouffant Dave…..no one thinks you’re 5’5.
Hi Chee Calker,So that’s what it was.. The bouffant hairdo! Not your best look COB.Ann.
Yeah, COB!
And quit smoking and drinking hard booze. And stop with the tanning bed.
You look terrible, even with your face on. Plus, get your money back from your plastic surgeon.
We want alive and healthy for your jail time or publicly trapped in a non-extradition country as we harass you online!
Hi James Morris, I agree when I first saw COB’s face I really could not tell, but I see now his face looks like some work was done.It just gives me chills,his picture.It just felt as if I was thrown into water at below freezing temps.He makes my skin crawl & my mind snap shut as well as my wallet.Ann.
B-Bbrrrr!
Whew!
*snap!*
Me, too Ann B. Me, too!
“…the city in which we live, the city that is our home – Clearwater Florida.” – Miscavige.
Translation – We own this town and we’re not going anywhere so fuck you.
And he states: ‘We have established international footholds to address… immorality and human rights.
Really? So, where is Shelly?
As always, you have to remove a zero or two from scientology numbers. So,
People in attendance: 400
Staff: 200
Public: 200
Local scientologists: 1000
Or maybe those numbers are too high?
Way, way to high! It’s all smoke and mirrors now…
Also known as PhotoShop…
From the hit musical Flag Slide Story:
When you’re the COB
You’re the COB all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.
When you’re the COB
If the shit hits the fan,
You got minions around,
You’re a powerful man!
You’re never alone,
You’re never inspected!
You’re home with your Scotch
When company’s expected,
You’re well protected!
Then you are set
With a boatload of cash
Which you’ll never reveal
Till they cart off your ass
When you’re the COB
You stay the COB!
Hi MM, Love it,all your talent & your lyrics can be
set perfectly to whatever song you want !
Clever bitter defrocked apostates that we are! Always Ann.
Thanks Ann. Lil’ Dave brings out the tunesmith in me.
Missed you MM 🙂
Thanks Pepper. Don’t think Davey feels the same.
is there anything too despicable for scientology to engage in?
I’m referring to Ortega’s lead story today.
make me sick to my stomach.
The only thing left that hasn’t been proven is running a bestiality brothel. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did, though. It’d be a Fifth Dynamic outreach program to them.
Hi Espiando,You know your post is good today! Thank you.Ann.
Nice, Espi! That’s one of the many things I like about you, you don’t hold back!
Gives a whole knew meeting to “Tie My Kangaroo Down”.
Yes. Unbelievable.
But, haven’t they assured us that these are 30 year old types of activities and they don’t engage in these practices anymore?
Hi Eileen,Good to meet you.Ah yes the old line of we don’t engage in those practices anymore,is sure as I am Ann,saying Yes We Do This All The Time & per Policy too! Ann.
“It’s amazing how many times one person can mock up, realize they mocked up, forget about mocking up, unmock, re-mock and rep-unmock their reactive mind.”
In other words there have been lots of cock ups with the mock ups.
Wow wow wow. It’s amazing. I’m going to have to think of a new name for the “Bubbledwellers.” The bubble has been popped and yet they are still dwelling in it.
I’ve got it! PANOPTATES!
There’s this great word, “panopticon,” which is a bldg where inmates know that at any given time they can be watched by a single watchman but never knowing when they are being watched. The word came from “Panoptes” from Greek mythology – a giant with a hundred eyes known to be an effective watchman.
This is what the bubbledwellers are now. There is no bubble. There are no bars. Yet, they are still prisoners.
Co$ preaching on “immorality and human rights”? *facepalm*
How about we raise Ike Turner from the dead and have him give a lecture on how to have a loving, stable marriage?
Hi NOLAGirl, I missed you! Great post too! Getting revved up for Tigers & Saints this year! Keeps me off the streets & my mind on plain old fun & games unlike GOI/OSA ones!Always Ann.
Hi Ann!! Missed you too. 🙂 I cannot wait for the season to start. Offseason for a football nut like me is torture. At least training camp starts in a week or so, so that’s something. I’m looking forward to seeing what the Saints have this year because anything is better than 7-9.
Hope you’re having a good week hon. WhoDat, Geaux Tigers and all that!! ((hugs))

hahahahahaha Mockdageddon!
There is more foot traffic at Nature’s Food Patch on a daily basis than that block will experience in a week.
And I would guess there are more Scientologist that go to Nature’s Food Patch than will go down that block.
At least they are exchanging for something of value. Does 13 of 19 made solo OT’s mean 13 finished the course called OT VI or is solo OT another name for OT VII? I guess it doesn’t matter….19 sucks anyway one looks at it. David Miscavige if that is a current photo of you…..you don’t look so good. Have you been to a doctor lately??
Mike: Lisa just shared Aaron and Nick’s video with me. I hope you don’t mind my using your board to delivery a message to Kathy True:
Fuck You Kathy. You are a psychotic, anti-social piece of worthless scum.
Thanks, Mike.
I second that!
Seconded.
Hi Kevin Tighe, Good to meet you. Your post made me feel better too.Thank you.Ann.
My pleasure.
Kevin, can you post the link to the video you speak of? I’d like to see it as would others probably.
Lead story at TonyOrtega.org today.
The video is there.
Kevin, PLEASE don’t hold back! Oh..right, you didn’t. Great post!
I’m giving your post a standing ovation Kevin. Actually two standing Os with two hands clapping.
Yo Kathy,
You and your favorite cohort in human psychosis, Jasmin Arellano should take a cruise down to Alphonso’s office and kick the shit out of him until his stats come up and his morale improves. Then log on to losers.com and write a book on the effective methods to bitch slap your fellow criminals into submission.
Oooooh…I like being ‘bitch slapped.’ Again, I gotta stop drinking in the morning…
Hi OSD, Now don’t get me started I love the dawn & in a blue moon, I had a wine at an early hour.
Hi OSD,The Rats are out tonight! I was trying to finish my post to you.Now this IPad is in melt down time.I had a wine at an early hour,when I could not sleep.Always Ann.
Why is it that I now feel the incredible need to defend Potemkin? He doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this flaming shitfest. Unfortunately, I don’t have room to do so, but if you can, read Simon Sebag Montefiore’s biography of him. After that, you won’t associate him with villages anymore.
Who in their right mind would have approved these twee storefronts that the most desperate tourist trap would have rejected as being too tacky? Oh, wait, no one involved in this Festival of Provable Bullshit is in their right mind.
To quote my dread lord and master Morrissey, “This is the seaside town that they forgot to bomb.”
“The Vulture Capital of the World.” (As-is-ness. A helicopter’s-eye view.)
It is not a friendly place. I will never be back. I went there for the first time in 1986 and 2 of the staff got into name calling matches with me. One of them was a Class XI C/S. Those 2 people still work there. Any publicity that comes out of Flag is mostly ignored except by IAS members. David Miscavige looks like shit as is to be expected if you follow the news about him. People with dirty hands lead unahappy lives. An executive cannot lead anyone to freedom with a scotch in his hand and somebody’s scalp hair in the other. 🙂
Hi Lawrence, A good post for this AM.Thank you. Ann.
I agree, Lawrence. He looks rougher than a cob… .
He must have a lot on his mind.
It’s not that easy being Dave
Having to spend each day screaming at the wall
When you think it could be nicer being close to six feet tall
or something much more elevated than that
It’s not easy being Dave
It seems you piss off so many ordinary beings
And people tend to run you down ’cause you’re just standing out like flashy sparkles in the water, or stars in the sky
But Dave’s the color of paste
And Dave can be cool and TC-like.
And Dave can be big like a building, or important like a statue, or widespread like a disease
It’s not easy being Dave
Long ago, a waitress in Clearwater told me Scientologists are hated there. I didn’t think she needed to know I was “one of them,” and I didn’t think she looked like she was open to discussion of the matter, but I did think she was telling the truth. I like waitresses, and cabbies, and bartenders – they know what’s up in a town, sometimes better than the mayor.
I want to say something that is still glib on my part, I’m still working on this one, because it is a big issue – a lot of people here and other places up and down and around on all sides have tried to get a handle on it, and I haven’t heard anyone really get the truth of it yet without a ton of words. It isn’t just about ‘landing on it,’ it is also about finding the solution to it, the fix, the repair, the functionality of it.
What I feel moved to say isn’t any better, but I feel like saying this glib thing anyway:
Scientologists just don’t know how to be people.
“Scientologists don’t know how to just be people.” I think you’re onto something there, Nickname. It’s called out of valence and being in the valence of “a good Scientologist.” They think, “What would David want me to do?” It is not even, “What would Ron do” anymore. Now it is what would Davey want me to do. And they go into that valence.
Cindy –
The one-word answer is “Ethics,” but it is such a big subject …. Scientology ethics tech was never really used. Individuals were never really taught to use it for themselves to establish their own lives on their own determinism, seeing the logic.
Ethics is a purely personal thing. “When one is ethical or “has his ethics in,” it by his own determinism and is done by himself.” (Intro to Scn Ethics, LRH.) It is reason, and it is admin scales.
I still wonder if LRH realized what he had done when he tossed off the admin scale in an effort to help mission-holder ED’s organize better on the fly. An admin scale is a template for the logic of living. Everyone has goals and some sort of plan to achieve some vague notion of an ideal scene, but few “work out” everything using admin scales to establish their own policies and work out programs and projects which are logically consistent. This is not very hard to do. You see people going to the gyms, but you don’t see many doing the morning workout of ethics, to stay in shape. “Why am I doing, and what am I going to do, and what am I going to get? Where are my admin scales to lift and work out with?”
The big problems come in with high-level admin scales which extend beyond the present life. This, people consider, is the realm of philosophers and of religion. That’s “The Word of God” territory, not to be touched or even looked at. This, people consider, is the realm of “no one knows.”
Proper use of admin scales, at the least, connects dots and brings the “no one knows” down to the reason and the why for making a cup of coffee in the morning, before breakfast, and getting ready for a day’s work. It is too simple to see the consistencies, the common elements, in admin scales, and project those to the highest levels. Some might call making morning coffee “living in the now” or “in the moment” and “enjoying every minute,” but in that conception the reasoned logic is still not worked out beyond the immediate moment.
The big “what if” and the big “non-confront” I see is that we are in fact in an eternity. There is that huge forever right with each of us, and each of us must deal with it rationally, with goals, purposes, with our own policies, plans, implementations of these things to produce value, to be good beings, good people, and this must be done by oneself.
Time is the principle aberrative factor. It is a consideration. A being gets wrapped up in it, considers it is senior to himself. Time is the basis of games, the playing field, and a being is reluctant to leave that, to consider beyond that. But he is very limited in that, if time were all there were to life.
In another bit of glibness: life is too big to confront. It is as if there were some Eternal Gate Keeper, with a statement and a question. “You have an infinity of paths to take. Which would you prefer?” That choice, or choices, is ethics.
There is this infinity of choice in the present, in the absence of, or in the as-is-ness of time, and that is right in front of everyone. That is life, and it is “too big to confront.” Too big to plan for eternity. Easier to take someone else’s word for it, and do as one is told. And that is where false prophets walk in, to disturb the peace, and mislead others with false admin scales. The false prophet dictates ethics, to force others to assume their valence and adopt their goals to further their own dominance. That is something LRH never would do. The closest he came to that was The Way To Happiness. Really, one would not do badly at all to live by the Ten Commandments, or the precepts of TWTH. But I don’t think LRH ever imagined that an OT would fail to establish his own ethics.
Nickname, I think they KNOW how to be people but, having been brainwashed by a criminal like El Con for so long, they have gotten out of the practice of being a person. They have been fed false info (El Con’s ethics, tek & admin) and believe it.
He doesn’t want wogs in his town, let alone his precious SP building. Making downtown CW just that much creepier is another step in that direction.
Reminds me of the stepford wives…creepy with blank stares.
Stepford Wives is not a bad one , I was leaning towards Pleasantville or The Truman Show. I know it has been said before but this street illustrates it better than ever before in the whole history of the church, moreover… oh hell , I can’t speak like him..he is too too good.
The $cienos killed the new aquarium because they want all of that part of town to themselves. With no outsiders looking in, they can do whatever they want to do. Their ‘rent a cops’ can taser all they want and keep the wog riff raff out.
The new ‘storefronts’ look like a strip mall and are intended to show Clearwaterians that the clams are good neighbors. Not that anyone would ever believe that. It will let any rented politicians say nice things about them, but they change course faster then a clam burrowing in the sand. And it keeps the IRS off their back, “look, we’re spending money on stuff’. And ‘stuff’ it is, useless stuff.
It does carry on the recent tradition of hiding NarCONon. Probably so the process servers don’t know where to go to deliver the papers. Very soon, some of those suits will be in court. As ABLE and Narc International have settled their part in some of the earliest cases, the focus of any trial will be the fraud that the treatment facility perpetrated. That is a show I won’t miss. And I’ll bring popcorn and cake for all.
Hi zemooo, I like your post.I have not physically visited Clearwater,weird that was the name of our phone exchange when I was growing up,but storefronts reminded me of those robot movies about robots at an amusement park that went wild.I do not care for horror movies but the ones I remember were in a western mode,not really horror more like robots running amuck!Ann.
