More revealing details from inside the hushmail bubble….
Great to see the IAS coming along to the Flag OTC to quote from “COB’s speech” and tell everyone they should be increasing their status as they move up the Bridge. Of course, if they were to be asked about this by the IRS they would claim there is NO relationship with moving up the Bridge and IAS statuses. But you know, that’s just “wog” law. Not important to anyone important (like us in the IAS).
These guys lie about their own stats to themselves. It is remarkable to see how the culture of peddling bs and then buying what you are selling is so ingrained inside the bubble. What they REALLY mean to say is that 88% of all members of the OTC have enough money left on account that they can be debited for an extension course so they can say they are “on lines”, with a few of them sporadically going to the course room and a handful proudly donning their blue and white “Purif Uniforms” or “Cause Resurgence Running Program running shoes” and passing through retina scans and frisk downs to enter the SP Cathedral and participate in the most astonishing, life-changing, OT wins imaginable this side of redoing their Objectives and Student Hat.
Also good to note that Chill EB clearly found a far more lucrative gig for himself than trying to make it in the music business. He is on the IAS commission gravy train and livin la vida loca. And after doing events for the IAS for a year, he has started his first service… They do still call themselves the International Association of SCIENTOLOGISTS right?

Kaye introduced and welcomed very special guest, Rap Performer and crusader against the drugging of children, Chill E.B. Kaye said that he and his wife Dilan have travel 320 days per year, and have been to almost every continent, for the IAS. Chill E.B. performed, for the FIRST TIME his newest song, “Let Them Be.” He said he was very happy and privileged to perform for the Flag OT Committee. He said he began his journey with the IAS and with Scientology at the 2010 IAS Event at Flag, and that he and his wife had started their first services, having been on the Purif for 8 days.Javier of the IAS brought us a message from the IAS that this year is its thirty-first anniversary. He read a quote from the COB’s speech at the last IAS Event at Flag about the “Price of Freedom.” Javier asked that we each make one postulate, and that is to attend the IAS Event this year in October at Saint Hill. He also said that as one moves up the bridge, one should also move up in IAS status.
Production

Kaye asked us to exit the Ballroom and use the walkway from the Fort Harrison to the new Flag Building, to pose for our group photo on the grand staircase in the atrium. She announced we could pick up our commendations at that time as well. Kaye led us in a round of applause for LRH before we exited the meeting for the photo shoot.Minutes by Carol Gulasa, Meeting Secretary

Even with the wall to wall bs, they cannot conjure up anything positive to say about the scene in “Ideal” PAC. 8 starts a week just isn’t going to hack it guys. And this right after the monumental magnificence of his eminence blessing the “new” “ideal” PAC, now flooding people up the GAG II Bridge. Remember all the “flood” terminology that was being used just a few weeks ago? Seems the flood was merely a trickle, and intermittent at that.

Subject: Starts and CompsWe have a target to make!
My fellow OTC’rs:
We are falling short of our goal of 175 starts and 125 comps by MV. We had 8 starts this week by OTC members for a total of 40 and 10 comps for a total of 42. Are all of you reporting your comps and starts?
Let’s get into action and make our goal.

If ‘the flood is now just a trickle’ I think there is something you can take for that. It’s called Flomax.
Aquamarine says
Yes, love the intel.
remoteviewed says
I noticed that they are looking for “volunteers” (though I realized the concept of volunteer is somewhat different than my concept when I was told the “Volunteer” Ministers course was mandatory but I digress…) to do assists on their members.
Gee I wonder why the Lunatic Fringe AKA False III Club AKA “OT” Committee is getting sick?
Can’t be the suppression on lines.
Nah!
Last I heard they eliminated the 97 1/2 % that were suppressing them.
So what gives?
Hate to nag a rise he but even the upstats are pathetic. I mean what does “active member” mean. Is it fluid like say “volunteer”. You know last week it was people doing something and this week it means total number of OTs still breathing or something.
Who knows?
Then of course the product of their combined effort.
A honking four books sold.
Oh wow.
They are really moving into a whole new range there.
Anyway keep the intel coming Mike’s Moles your work is appreciated.

Yes my comment may await moderation. Feel free to edit slightly to diarrhea which is probably more accurate anyway.
Rick Argall says
Regarding the photo of DM at the top…..is that why he’s 5 foot nothing and full of shit?? Kindly clarify.
TheWidowDenk says
I don’t comment much, but I’m a thinkin’ on something.
To comment, I’ll need to bring in the “old days” of Scientology, which to me were the 70’s and 80’s. Back then, you went to the org for services. There was no place else to go. I do not know much about missions now, nor did I then, except that the missions were feeder lines to the orgs.
My staff experience was at LA Day, first as Staff Section Officer, then later as HAS. I really enjoyed the establishment and production policies and they made sense to me. I’ve used that hatting not only on my later Writers of the Future work, but in other activities in which I participate(d).
My comment is there’s no longer any strength in the organizations. It is not a sign of strength that an OTC needs to be formed to perform the functions that should already be being done within the organization. To me, it seems there’s lack of staff and/or unposted staff and/or unhatted staff and/or something. That’s why an OTC is formed and run — to support the org. Yes, from everything I’ve studied and observed, the org should be supporting the field.
A personal example is when I went to Flag to get on OT VI/VII. When I went for five months, I had to be replaced at Writers of the Future, I had to be replaced at home, etc., etc. And then, I’m given yet another hat whilst at Flag; that of FSM along with targets to get folks to Flag, mandatory briefings, etc.This was all done to get support for Flag. This was totally backwards to “go home, get back on your hats, audit daily, we’ll see you when you get back.”
I should conclude but the only conclusion I can come up with is it is a weakness in the orgs that the public need to do the work the orgs should be doing.
MJ says
You’re so right.
John Doe says
Rachel,
There is a learned culture in Scientology that the Orgs, and “the expansion of Scientology” is the most important thing in the Universe.
Even if one doesn’t believe that, one quickly learns the consequences of expressing it.
TheWidowDenk says
Interesting, John Doe. I believe I once subscribed to that learned culture. Maybe not to the extent of “the most important thing in the universe.” See, you got me thinking about it.
I, nevertheless, feel these enforcement type groups of public are relatively useless if the orgs are not established for production.
Smokey says
I think there’s a two part reason for the OTC. The first you outlined in your comment, WD. The staff needs help because, for various reasons you mentioned, they can’t fully perform their assigned functions.
The second is control. If OTs are left to their own devices they might drift away from the cult as they have time to focus on other areas of their lives. Mandating that they meet weekly, present meeting minutes, function as ersatz staff or execute programs designed just for the OTC you can then not only keep track of who may be disaffected but you simultaneously tie the ones who do participate more closely to their org and management.
MJ says
A little pre Christmas song: suddenly the sheep all shunned him, and they shouted out with glee, Davey your reign is over, we all know you’re history.
TheWidowDenk says
Yes, Smokey – I agree about the control factor. Must keep these public OT’s under control and supporting their orgs. Seems pretty backward to me.
Hallie Jane says
Right WidowDenk. The concept that thetans or OTs can be forced to do things that they don’t want to, is so contrary to the nature of beings. I think once the SO went from a cooperative group, following LRH out of respect, to, do what you’re told or else, the group’s demise was sealed. Then there’s the computation “if you don’t work till you drop, then you’re a lazy out ethics asshole” that plays into it also. When respect left the game, it was no longer real Scn IMO.
TheWidowDenk says
Yes, Hallie Jane, I agree. There’s also, “You owe us because of what we did for you.”
MJ says
Dave’s favorite song is Janet Jackson’s ‘What have you done for me lately.’
Cindy says
“it is a weakness in the orgs that the public need to do the work the orgs should be doing.” Exactly Widow Denk. I had this same thought years ago and then thought-stopped it becauseI I knew the trouble I’d get into if I voiced it. I do agree also that the OTC’s are also put there to control the OT’s and keep them so busy and beholdin’ about how they must work hard to “flow power” since they aren’t on SO staff. That button is pushed hard and often. And if the OT’s weren’t active on OTC’s, they might just get interested in their own lives and activities and drift away from the org and out of range for regging.

Dave is sitting back laughing his ass off at all these idiots giving him all that money just because he scares the shit out of them. True power.
hiatus57 says
“He began his journey with the IAS and with Scientology at the 2010 IAS Event”
So Scientology is second mention to IAS. Well being someone who finds RAP mouthings painful and irritating I hope he he gives all his earning to these creeps.
One should begin the journey with reading Dianetics. If they get through that then they are worth bothering about. Most never finish it, or do not undertsnad it.
zemooo says
It can’t be understood, it is a collection of circular logic disguised with hyperbole, innuendo and false comparisons. It is useful in picking out those who can be harvested for more money and more belief in the Wit and Wisdom of Lron. Clearing out your engrams is about as useful and getting rid of evil spirits through exorcism.
MJ says
I don’t know, exorcism always worked for me.
Aquamarine says
Zemoo, not to invalidate your experience or opinions or to make you wrong in any way,but simply to share my own: I never had enough auditing to run out an engram but I did run out a secondary once, which gave me a good deal of relief. Just saying.
Foolproof says
What word was misunderstood?
Valerie says
Wait. Wait. I’ve been with Scientology since 2010 and started my first service 8 days ago? Um. WTF is wrong with that sentence? Anyone? Wow.
If that isn’t a flat out admission that the Bridge and Scientology have long since parted ways, I have no idea what is.
Chill EB, one of the biggest “names” still stupid enough to admit any association with Scientology (yeah, I know, not many of those left these days) just flat out stated, “I have no clue what Scientology is although I have attached my name to it for 4 years” and the OT Committee squeal like a bunch of three year olds welcoming a clown to their birthday party.
Excuse me while I go enjoy the fact that I have a life.
Old Surfer Dude says
Val, you’re absolutely right! Scientology has NOTHING to do with Scientology! NOTHING! No auditors are being made. Why? Because they have dropped all pretense that this is about anything other than taking every last dime you have for the IAS &, of course, now, Hubbard Hall. The purpose of Scientology now is one thing and one thing ONLY: FUNDRAISING! Even though Hubbard warned against it.
This orgainzation is now hitting new lows of insanity. It is NOT about going up the bridge anymore.
OTout6284 says
Chill EB doesn’t make that much from his events, and certainly no percentage from funds raised at IAS nights. He would make more at a regular desk job. Unlike Jeff Pomerantz – who professes to travel around doing “good will” as he and his wife rake in 10% of everything raised.
Chris Mann says
Hell yeah, he traveled 320 days for the IAS. Its a good gig. The commission
these guys pocket is phenomenal.
Potpie says
Obviously the guy in the photo is an
OTVIII on his objectives. I also imagine
the examiner could not understand his comments
regarding his recent session.
threefeetback says
Someone needs to repeat the command: ‘Dave, take your 3.5 billion and shove it up your ass’.

Thanks for the laughs. Mike, thanks for the header graphic. It’s a hoot. Gives MJ some great lines.
MJ says

canspeakatlast says
Oh, goodness! When I see all this bs and everything enforced or else, I am so pleased, no, I’m ecstatic that I’m no longer a part of it.
I’ve been on two OTCs and what a farce they are. We got accolades for just turning up at the meetings! The OTCs do absolutely nothing and the last thing anyone is, is OT!
Bill Lumberg says
I’m still waiting to see when Scientology is gonna jump in on the search for the missing airplane. Certainly there’s a money-making opportunity there.
MJ says
Dev-t.
Roy Macgregor says
You know I wondered what they would do about the fact that their minutes turn up on Mike’s blog all the time. The big humuliating thing about that was that their stats were revealed, showing a devastated picture of non-production and contraction.
So now I see that they have removed all the really horrifying stats like “books sold” which made them the laughing stock, and are only mentioning “active members” and “members reporting”. I have to say that calling one of these people an “active member” is singularly appropriate.
However sadly there will be no more laughing our asses off at 241 “active members” rushing around all week and managing to sell 6 books.
The thing is that if they were not actually a complete joke, they could proudly publish their stats for all to see. There would be no reason to hide, hide, hide.
But Scientology has to hide what their “active members” are up for the simple reason that they are not up to anything good.
In the end, all they are is a bunch of limp and inactive members.
Aquamarine says
Roy, I agree with you about the “books sold” stat having to be hidden. But in fairness, with the Church’s PR so God-Awful its tough to sell books to raw public. I used to do it, before I went on the internet and learned a few things about the actually way the general America public views Scientology. On Saturday afternoons we would lug all these books and tables and do stress tests, and when any of us sold even ONE book it was considered a VERY big deal. Most people streamed passed us, studiously averting their eyes. Some of them would take it in and then quickly look away. I used to wonder why they were mostly so low-toned as they passed us. Now I know. Selling books this way is really a bitch. Hell, if I were raw public reading this stuff I would avoid this “church” like the plague, which is of course, exactly the scene. I have compassion for any still in who well meaningly tries to sell books and yet really doesn’t read the net and know that the actual RCS PR condition is WAY below Non Existence.
SILVIA says
In addition to what you already pointed out as far as “being the IAS” (an enforced/implanted beingness) this really caught my attention:
“Lyle Roland, OES announced that assist auditor volunteers are needed to deliver assists to some of our OTC Members”
So, they are OTs, Meritorious Pompus Maximus status but they can’t help each other? Why do they need VM to give assists to their own members? And, why are they so sick if they are OTs?
Blind to the suppression they live in, that will be my explanation to the needed assists for their own members. Poor souls really.
Cindy says
Excellent points Silvia. They would be more effective and helping “the planet” if instead of attending OTC so as to keep their own PR in and stats up on OTC meetings attended, they would skip that and instead go give an assist to an ailing OT. Now that would be real help.
Aquamarine says
Bela, thanks, and OMG, so that’s his NECK showing with his head up … I thought it was…well, never mind what I thought it was. FN/VGIs. Ok, I admit it. I can be kind of dumb sometimes.
Hallie Jane says
That caught my eye too Sylvia. I guess these OTC members are drowning in somatics, the cognitive dissonance is showing in their bodies. God forbid they do assists on each other, but that would break away from fundraising for 10 minutes.
Aquamarine says
I’m sorry, but I’m going to take a deep breath and admit to some stupidity on my part, to wit: exactly what is that contraption thing that this guy is sitting in/on? I kind of get the general concept, by the way, but what is that thing?
Bill Lumberg says
It’s a man with his head up his ass.
Annabelle says
It’s DM.
Aquamarine says
Bill and Annabelle, thank you, I do get clearly that concept and that it is DM, but what is that actual THING he is sitting on and in? Looks to me like some kind of floatation device with part where you would blow it up inserted precisely…um, ok I get it now. Not only is HE blowing smoke, but he’s blowing up HIS own…yup – no more questions, thanks 🙂
Bela says
Aqua…the man is bent all the way over, thru his own legs and back up around so as to have his own head up his butt. It’s awkward, yes! But oh so funny.

Brilliant Mike! How did you get COB to pose for the picture?
Old Surfer Dude says
MJ, it just shows how fexible the tiny dwarf is! I mean, to get in that position day after day, he’s GOT to be spending several hours a day stretching! My only question is, when he assumes the position, does it mess up his hair? Just wondering…

He wears a hairnet.
Joe Pendleton says
Chill began his “journey with the IAS & Scientology in 2010 …… and got onto his first service in 2014 ….. impressive speed of particle flow …. do any of these folks EVER mention how many Cl V auditors are being made? I thought not, but…. hey there are freaking BUILDINGS to buy and statuses to be upped …. Kaye baby … keep drinkin’ that champagne, kid …

Well, what a joke.
I think… as they did in 1996, an Int Mission will be sent IN… Well, there are nobody left UPTHERE so they can’t send people for a Mission 🙂 lol

in the GAG 2 days of unmitigated downward expansion (contraction) the stats are plummeting even worse than after the release of GAG1.
so bring on GAG 3 it will finish the RCo$ for once and for all.

Sorry I missed the group photo; such a great opportunity to connect with scourge, er, I mean source. My only word to describe what I just read: INCREDIBLE!!!
DollarMorgue says
So the tent is going back to England?
Mike Rinder says
It’s back there already. They shipped it back shortly after New Years.
DollarMorgue says
Unbelievable extravagance. What next? COB being airlifted in to each and every event?
At least the OTC stats are really, really good. Planetary Clearing Is Within Reach™.
Aquamarine says
I wouldn’t be surprised if the tent being shipped back didn’t have something to do with the fact that the Clearwater iarea s home base to Apostate Air Lines
Poet13c says
They anticipate a flood of requests for the tent now that Scientology is a religion in the UK.
Tent for hire: Weddings, Receptions, Baptisms, Birthdays, Funerals, Parties. Why not let Ol’ Capt COB entertain your guests – He’s Funny!
MJ says
FYI, I don’t think COB (crock o’ bullshit) does bar mitzvahs.
GTBO says
In their defense (for once), the cost of the tent (which they own) is way less than renting a comparable size venue. The use of professionals to erect it and rhen SO labor to do the rest will be far less than a union labor bill.
This is one thing that does make economic sense in RCo$.
Mike Rinder says
You are of course right. And they have a deal with the company that they can rent it out during the rest of the year and share in the profits generated.
il luminacca says
who the hell is Chill E B anyway?
Aquamarine says
A rapper.
Idle Morgue says
Wasn’t Chill E B a rapper who was paid by (your donations) the Church of Scientology to be an performer at the IAS events. I don’t think he did it out of the kindness of his heart. He probably got big bucks!
This will be a new method to get in celebs. Hire them to perform at the events and give them full time work and pay them very generously as the Sea Org Slaves work for nothing.
Wait until he tries disseminating to celebs like Drake and Rhianna – that will not go over well to the “rapper audience”. Young people today LOOK at the internet.
He probably made a lot of money – Blood Money – because people go broke giving to the IAS Scam.
Just think – He got to see the propaganda every day as he performed for the IAS to bankrupt the members into oblivion so now that he has gotten fully indoctrinated and is waxing enthusiasm about his new found cult – he has started his first service.
Well, Ole Hubbard will be right again – Chill E B’s LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
I feel sort of bad for the guy. He will either leave quickly once he starts feeling his reactive mind kick in…that dark cloud of confusion that covers you…and never leaves – until you LEAVE Scientology.
He could be in for the long haul if Slappy puts on another “dog and pony show” performance like he did for Tom Cruise.
Richard Lloyd-Roberts says
Nobody. Maybe thats the point…
Richard Lloyd-Roberts says
You comment got me curious so I looked him up on You tube. Apart from some minor stuff back in 2007 – 2009 most of his new music is “singing scientology”. IE songs that anyone outside the church wouldnt listen too. He averages a little over 1000 views per video. Very minor player. There were some very talented musicians when I was on lines at CC but its like the kiss of death to them when they start writing Scientology based songs. ooooooh Ima gonna go clear lalalala.
https://www.youtube.com/user/EBChill if you care to listen to his music. I am not a rap fan so its a no from me. I think that most kids that follow rap are gonna say no too.
SunnyV says
An invention of the cult. A never-has-been who has been trying to make some sort of career in the music biz since the 1980’s. Didn’t work out for him so now he’s a 50 + year old “rapper” trying to make the cult look hip with the kids. Lmfao. He will have the same effectiveness on the “wog” public as “Battlefield Earth” did.
