Now that David Miscavige is no longer playing hide and seek with Leah Remini’s legal team, he has resumed his duties as chief ribbon yanker.
Tony Ortega has an article today on his blog about Austin ribbon yanking shaping up for the 24th. We now have confirmation with an official promotional piece. He wondered about Chicago and the Facebook post above from last evening indicates this may in fact be happening today (or this could be a long bus ride they are on and it will be next weekend). Mr. Mickiewicz needs to pack long underwear as it’s going to be very chilly in the Windy City today.
How bizarre is it that Chicago has sat empty — yet complete — for more than a year? As soon as it was no longer a threat that he might be served if he made a public appearance, suddenly the org is opening. The entire world of scientology revolves around the whims of the COB.
The Austin hype:
Yawn says
5 people going to Chicago org – impressive!

Hope the mayor doesn’t show up to pull the cord. Saint Hill has again revealed how much the cult likes to control local authorities like puppets on a string.

Scientology did pick a prime area in Chicago – I checked and there are no street closures at least in the next 30 days by the building.
Scientology does have a good architecture firm working for them, and I am glad they have preserved the building. In 100 years scientology will be long gone, but that building will live on.

A fellow scientologist, Terry Aderhold, OT VIII, who lives in the suburbs of Chicago, was an “OT Ambassador” and attended many of the events to raise money for Chicago Org and then for its renovations, bitched, or in scientologese, nattered, like crazy about the absurdity of the location of this new org. She stated that most scientologists from this org were from the suburbs and this would be a long commute for most of them, including the staff. She also went on and on about the “Events” to raise money for this bldg and the renovations were becoming more and more sparse, that fewer and fewer members were showing up, including the “Ambassadors” and that even she was sick of it. I said nothing. Of course, I haven’t seen nor heard from my very good friend since I was declared.

Wow, a tiny van crammed with five gormless grinning idiots. I wonder if they have 30 or 40 changes of clothes so the inevitable photoshit, I mean photoshop, images will look make them look like dozens and dozens of different sheepbots.

Yep. All in a day’s”postulating” imminent planetary smearing, er…I mean…clearing.
Zee Moo says
I’ll believe it when I see it. Said every $cieno watcher everywhere. I don’t expect Niblet to show up in person, I bet on a big screen TV somewhere in the building and a room crammed full of staff and $cientologists. All 23 of them.

Dave’s ” OT ” activities: yanking and wanking.
