This is a glimpse behind the smoke and mirrors of ideal org openings from inside the bubble.
When Miscavige yanks his ribbon at the Gala Grand Opening of a new building, he expects to see enough staff present to occupy his new palace.
But the vast majority of these massively oversized new buildings are in cities where the scientology organization is a small, failing operation with a few staff. Or in the recent case of Dublin, with no staff at all.
Can you imagine the CEO of WalMart opening a new Supercenter to replace a lemonade stand and nobody is inside to man the checkouts or stock the shelves. It’s unthinkable because WalMart would never do such a thing. They are trying to operate a viable activity that meets customer needs. They would soon go out of business if not. Perhaps a better analogy would be opening a massive new Blockbuster store… Miscavige and scientology have no such constraints, so everything is for show.
Miscavige does not have stockholders he is accountable to. There is no bottom line. He doesn[‘t have to maintain a real payroll. And it’s all subsidized by the taxpayer.
So, we see the insanity of opening a massive new building in Orlando today.
The Chairman of the Bored refuses to countenance the idea that his ideal orgs are an insane plan. He has decreed this is the way to achieve planetary clearing, so it IS the way. His minions are forced to “make it go right” and find people to man the checkouts when the doors swing open. No brave soul will stand up and say “There are no staff for Orlando Sir. This org has never had more than 10 staff in the 50 years it’s been here. 10 staff in a 60,000 sf building isnt enough to keep it clean and one person per floor to patrol for homeless people seeking shelter.” Nobody wants to be the one singled out as “counter-intentioned” to COB and Planetary Cleariung.
There is no real solution to this dilemma. They send shoplifting Wick Allcock to try to recruit some people and they manage to scrape together a few from around the world (there are none in Orlando itself). But as the fateful day gets closer, the “solutions” become ever more bizarre.
A massive game of international musical chairs is set in motion. Staff are “borrowed” from other orgs for a month or two. Trainees from Flag are sent to “fill the holes” and are told “you can come back when you replace yourself.” And who knows what else. Volunteers for the day pretending to be staff for the video shoot? Children “manning” positions for the weekend when they are not in school?
Here you see a manifestation of reality — this highly trained, though apparently wildly PTS auditor begging for someone to temporarily replace her in Tampa org while she recovers from her botched back surgery, so Tampa can loan another staff member to Orlando for “2-3 months”…
Scientlogy ideal orgs is an international shell game. The dwindling number of remaining staff are shuffled from one location to the next to make it appear there is a pea under every cup.
A visit to Atlanta today will prove it is not only empty of public, but also has 10% of the staff it had the day COB yanked his ribbon in their parking lot. Even Salt Lake City — yanked just a few weeks ago — will be an empty shell.
The traveling circus of Ribbon Yankings pulls up its tent, the ringmaster takes his clowns, jugglers and acrobats to the next city and the empty parking lot goes back to being empty again. That is the real pattern of the “ideal org strategy.”
It is like LRH left a steaming mess in a porcelain vessel, the COB has pulled the lever to cause a massive flush, and as the last remnants swirl away down the whirlpool, the little guy shouts, “Done Sir!”
These ideal orgs are the absolute definition of insanity. Miscavige really needs a shrink.
I think he already had one of those.
I knew I had teed up a joke when I typed that shrink comment. Heh! 😉
Miscavige must know the tech doesn’t work. He knows how miserably the old man ended. He likes power and he assumes it. He must think he is close to God and it must be amusing for him to see how he can abuse anyone without any resistance or rebellion. Since he has no opposition, he has no need to think twice, to doubt, or to improve. He is too sure of himself and perhaps one day he’ll make a fatal mistake for which he’ll be accountable.
Thanks to Tony Ortega’s website we now know:
The Underground Bunker has learned that the Special Circumstances Committee in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has approved charging Scientology actor Danny Masterson with multiple violent rapes under a sex crimes penal code that carries with it a life sentence in prison.
YES!! Now, can Scientology also be charged with ‘aiding and abetting’ Danny’s behavior? California law is alien to me.
OMG, this is great news, Rod!
Reed Eliot Slatkin (January 22, 1949 – June 23, 2015) was an initial investor and co-founder of EarthLink and the perpetrator of one of the largest Ponzi schemes in the United States since that conducted by Charles Ponzi himself. He was trained by LRH as an auditor in the 60’s. He involved 3 high level celebs in his scheme, there’s a show on hulu called “American Greed”, season 2 episode 10 called ” The Art Of Fraud”.
Correction, 1975 and not the 60’s..
Rod, I didn’t know Hubtard was personally conducting auditor training classes in ’75…
I apologize, the article I read stated that he was a minister, I assumed he was an auditor if he was a minister. I never learned the correct labels for people while working on the Delphi farm digging taters.
When I left the Delphian Foundation in the mid 70’s I was hoping this would all be wrapped up and finished by now. It was obvious then the Wizard of Oz was fallible. Satan will always find new souls to fill his dens until they finally see the light and call out to heaven. I was fortunate to do just that back then and He helped me escape the prison of my mind. Someone mentioned the word “Dev-T”, short for developed traffic. Haven’t heard that term in years but I’m sure what’s going on right now is “Dev-T squared”. Ha! I will pray that the people that are still trapped in this thing will reach out to heaven as I had.
The world’s most evil people are the people at Canon who design printers that can’t be stopped once they have started or controlled in any discernible way. The second most evil all work for Scientology’s legal department without even being members.
OK that’s a slight exageration. But they may well crack the top ten.
As an outsider I am noticing how much jargon everyone speaks in. It’s plain to me that COB shoots himself in the foot repeatedly. The silver lining is that EVERYONE inside gets to see his madness. Break-aways will happen with greater frequency. Rats from a sinking ship. I do like the palaces being returned to the tax rolls from such a fake religion. Keep yelling!!! It’s an outrage.
Speaking of getting weirder, it’s been reported over at Tony Ortega’s Bunker, that someone drove by the new Orlando org “at 12:45 and there were construction crews still there. Lots of Sea Org about too” http://disq.us/p/1s4fpur and “saw A/C mechanical contractor and elevator contractor vehicles in the lot…and didn’t see any bows or ribbons and no shrub tech in place.”
Given Scientology’s treatment of reality, facts, and the definitions of words as fungible, which we often see here in the Funnies, I wouldn’t be totally surprised to find out that they had papered over the epic fail and had an “opening” in Clearwater at Flag instead. I wondered if they weren’t biting off more than the could chew in trying to make the Orlando, the smallest and weakest of orgs, go “ideal,” and it seems as if their well-honed machinery for pulling off openings, even if relatively at the last minute, has bogged down – It’s going to be very interesting to see what comes of this….
No, I am sure this is a case of premature ejaculation on the part of CLO EUS. They have been repeatedly hounded about whether they are going to “make the target” and have responded “Absolutely, Sir” when they had no idea how they were going to make it. And nobody spoke up until there was no way of avoiding it…
Does DM still believe in clearing the planet or is all the recruiting just for the money and minions?
The real question is whether DM ever believed in clearing the planet, since according to Chris Shelton, he hasn’t even done any scientology on himself since the mid-nineties. Also, everything he does, does not make sense if his real goals were what his stated goals are. So it’s for other reasons.
🙂
That sounds to me a pretty likely mechanism of organizational dysfunction, particularly for Scientology.
Scientology generally seems to put off announcing these openings until almost the very last minute, when, presumably, they’re more or less done with most of their indeterminate internal runarounds like central files, and are certain that that org can actually be opened by the specified date, even if there’s some last minute arranging of the deck chairs to be done, so to speak, such as a final push to get the nominal staffing count up to whatever it is supposed to be. I just noticed a piece from around 4 weeks ago, where they still didn’t seem to have set an opening date yet, so I think it was only quite recently that they specifically announced the 28th.
This is the first case I can recall, where they’ve actually failed to meet one of those specified imminent dates. Particularly at an org so close to their “mecca” at Flag, and one which was being made a big deal of as sort of an example and test case, it’s got to be a major loss of face for management.
Normally I don’t shoop Scientology – but when I do, they’ve failed epically:

Orlando ribbon yanking isn’t happening today. I drove by this afternoon and there’s still construction work happening. Lot’s of Sea Org about too though, so I expect it’ll still be soon.
Dear Dave,
You poor thing – sometimes slave-labor just let’s ya down.
Can’t count on anybody now days…huh?
Geezers, talk about another glaring example of the bizarre mental and in turn physical trauma Scientologists inflict upon themselves in the name & guise of fraud, masquerading as hope.
A body is a mechanical thing with lots of moving interconnected parts and if you want it to serve you well you have to do the right thing by it (eventually). This mind over matter crap that exists in Scioland is a criminal disgrace. You wouldn’t treat your dog like the way people are neglected in Scientology. That person pleading for help with the back problems is truly barking up the wrong tree. Pat, you need to wake up and look at the situation you are truly in. Scientology blames you for the condition you’re in & WILL punish you for it. Get out of there before it’s too late, seek compassionate help that understands your body’s needs. You’re relying on a punishment based system that insists you place the organisations needs before your own physical health.
I went and watched the Scientology TV infomercial…..I was surprised to see they hadn’t coerced any celebrities to be in on that. DM said something about “all you would see” and “yes some very famous faces” or something like that. I kept waiting for Tom Cruise or Kirstie Alley or John Travolta to show up in it. Do you all think they were approached and declined? Curious about that.
Maybe they could “dig up” Karen Black and set her in the corner like a mummy. She contracted ampullary cancer in 2010 and passed away in 2013. I guess the “LRH tech” didn’t work because it was her fault. Sad!
This is sad really.
So, there is no Org Board arranging all these logistics; the auditor should be able to recover and then back in the chair; HCO should be the Division coordinating all this in conjunction with Division 4 and 5.
And I am on the belief that Chairman of the Bored does not care at all about this; he likely “demands” X number of staff present and whatever needs to be done to meet his ‘command intention’ has nothing to do with him. He expects compliance or else….
He just wants excellent video footage to show at the next event so he is flowed with admiration and that gives him the feeling that he has power and somehow feels alive.
Unbelievable insanity; poor soul if there is any at all inside his criminal universe.
In Dante’s Inferno, it is said that some are so evil that Satan takes their soul to hell, and leaves their body walking around still in the realm of the living. If so, this could certainly explain much about the CoB.
wynot,
Good point. i wonder how closely this image is to the Hindu ‘Hungry Ghosts’?
It’s so pathetic that someone who just had complicated back surgery would have to beg others to replace herself so dm’s insane plan can be implemented.
Poor Pat Gore. What is really going on here? She is having the blame for Tampa not being able to send an auditor to Orlando. It’s her fault. Do they give a shit that she had back surgery? Hell no! Instead they are making her the “who” and applying the screws of “ethics” to her and this is her plea for help to get out of her predicament. I’ve been there, I can read between the lines. Does the ED Tampa say. “don’t worry about it dear, just get better. We’ll handle it.” ? Noooo f’n way. Pat’s a downstat for throwing a monkey wrench in the plans and must take responsibility for it. Pat just bows her head and takes it like a good obedient slave must. So typical of how they treat dedicated valuable people – they abuse and introvert them in the name of ‘saving the planet”. Looking forward to Pat’s eventual awakening and departure.
And it’s my understanding that they would think she did something to “bring on this illness” so her back problems are her fault. Making her more guilty and beholden to finding someone to replace her. Sick shit.
Or they would take her into session to “find the SP.” Only if she spotted DM as the SP, it would be hell for her then as she named he who must not be named. I hope Pat Gore cognites while recouping away from the church and that she uses this back surgery to stay out and then finally escape.
There should be plenty of available qualified auditors to fill in to flow some power and help clear the planet. I would suggest looking for bodies who can show signs of life by having their breath show up on a mirror. Salt Lake City Org or Silicon Valley Org would be excellent places to find such folks. They opened up their “Ideal Orgs” a few weeks ago and after the ‘stat push’ to achieve that status a crash has surely ensued. Auditors there will be twiddling their thumbs instead of twiddling the tone arm of their e-meters. Of course they will want to help.
How can she have back issues? I thought Scientologists had special powers and could heal themselves. Shouldn’t she be back on her feet already?
They do have special powers! It’s just that ‘back issues’ are tougher than anything else.
It’s a shell game without a pea.
They’re 3 wheels short of a clown car. Soon, if not already, public will be drafted to keep the doors open. Why with all those hard working body routers, the OCAs will be flying off the shelf! Opps, needs more !!!!
Yeah … There’s a spare gat2Cl4 hanging around doing nothing who’s gonna volunteer for 8 weeks at Tampa org … Lisa, are you sure you didn’t need BRAIN surgery? If you absolute morons hadn’t cancelled all the “permanent” certs of auditors with decades of actual experience auditing and then declared most of us, maybe there would be someone like ME available … (don’t call, retired in the tropics and retired from Scientology too and wouldn’t give a nickel for another operation to save your life). But nooooooooooo .. You idiots and delusional imbeciles had to follow your insane leader … Too bad sweetheart, NO SOUP FOR YOU! (and I hope the ideal org project lasts for decades, the glacial decline is mucho FUN for me to follow!). Again, there is no stupider group on the planet than scientologists (and yeah, that includes Heber, Cueball head, Guilliame and the rest of the brain dead exec sheeple of the past three decades )…They will buy ANYTHING.
*does not include anyone who was wise enough to leave … they handled their stupidity.
Joe sez: *does not include anyone who was wise enough to leave … they handled their stupidity.
Not really Joe, there are still some foolproof folks out there who have left who are still guzzling the Kool-Aid. I wish it weren’t so, but there is clear evidence of this every now and again on this very blog.
At one point, we all handled our stupidity. And we licked our wounds. But, we’re out now. Much wiser than before.
We are? I’m still a sucker for pretty girls and money always has a wildly varying influence in my sphere of activity. But my spiritual salvation does come in a bottle these days. I enjoy being a Scientology s pee apostating reject, (although I keep that consequence of my fuck up relatively quiet), it keeps me occupied on cold nights. Plus, I have fun with those religious kooks who come knocking on my door wanting to convert me into something I can never be. They leave with a somewhat comical expression of confusion on their faces after a 5 minute chat with me.
You’re an exception.
What is saddest is that staff can never access sites like yours, Mike. Facts, facts, facts.
“Scientology ideal orgs is an international shell game. The dwindling number of remaining staff are shuffled from one location to the next to make it appear there is a pea under every cup.”
This is the most beautiful analogy I have read this year.
Totally!
There is no pea.
Really, Mary? There’s no pea? I can’t have pea soup? Damn! I really wanted that soup.
Ideal Blockbuster,That’s funny.
The church with all its resources can’t hire staff, so they transfer somebody until he can replace himself. Thus they transfer the recruitment problem to some poor soul living out of a suitcase and separated from his or her family until they can make it go right by finding a replacement. (In their spare time and using their own resources. )
I don’t get it. Lisa Pazeella is obviously a Grade 2 completion so should be getting rid of the source of all her problems at will. Why all this crap she posted. Any lurking Hubtard sycophants care to explain why Grade 2 doesn’t work ass Hubtard claimed?
Grade 2??? These people can’t even confront what is two feet in front of them after doing hundreds of hours of TR0 and are so far out of PT after months on the SRD, they think Orlando is …….hahaha hahaha … excuse me, I’m laughing so hard, I can’t even write it …
They think Orlando is Disneyland?
OSD did you see the recent Tony Ortega article that LRH has finally returned? With his return we will finally see planetary clearing becoming a reality. I always knew he would not abondon us.
Oh, me too!
Joe, I too realized decades ago that confront ability was inverse to the amount of scamology a person had received.
Wynski,
Lisa may have cleaned up the source of problems ‘in her universe’. She is in no position to solve problems thrown at her by COB and that dysfunctional system set up by Hubbard. Once she realizes (if ever) that she is being tasked to solve problems of Scientology and that in fact Scientology creates their own problems, she may just take a little walk out the door.
She does have a body problem, and we will see just how well she can handle that on her own. The 3 hours of assists daily tells me that her auditor is a robot and a waste of time. She would do better with a Chakra hand healer.
Wynski,
Grade 2 is relief release, O/Ws. grade 1 is problems release.
Report to cramming. 🙂
Typo alert! 🙂
You’d think that three hours of touch assists by a class five would shorten the recovery time down to a mere few days. And WTF happened to OH Tea Phenomenon for gawds sake? There should be some of that floating around Tampa somewhere.
Yo Dave,
Why not force some of your public to help out. You could contact Adam Daniells in LA (unless he has already moved to Salt Lake City) but either way, he is a flog trained, class nine, ex see orge who is just sittin around lookin at his eye phone tryin to make a buck. Remember, Adam was the SO auditor You sent to personally audit the wife of that Australian Whale dude back in the early 2000s, (Packer I think it was). He was there for months as I recall. He must have liked what he saw in the wog world good buddy because after he returned he got his wife pregnant and they left the fold. But I digress.
As an aside Dave, how does that approach work out for you. Are the Packers still in and doin the big donos for ya?
If Adam won’t do it, ask his dad Rod. He is a class 7, twice ex see orge with some Cee Ess experience as well. I’m sure they would love to help out in Orlando for a few weeks or years …………. if You paid them well. I think Rod and his partner still have an office on Ventura Blvd if you want to check in with him.
And last but not least Dave, try an amnesty. Give all ex SO a 10K or 20K signing bonus in exchange for showing up to Idle mORGue events and saying nice things about You and yer Cult. You might get one or too!
I’m done for today good buddy. And where is Eff Pee for gawds sake?
Lisa is posting a message for Pat Gore, who had back surgery.
Yes Kasey, thank you for pointing out that Lisa posted this, but it is about someone else (Pat), you beat me to it 😉
In a richly ironic twist, Lisa Pezzella rented a lovingly restored 1912 Craftsman house from me in Hollywood while “going OT” and then proceeded to stiff me for the rent and also set off the house alarm bumbling her way in each day and then stiffed me with several police response call fees as well.
Hey Lisa, how’s that whole “goin’ OT” thing workin’ out for you…?
Still waiting on the check you said you’d send like what, 5 years ago now…? Way to keep that integrity in, carry on!
-Your favorite slum-lord
Oh my goodness that is horrible for her to do that to you! It’s too bad that somebody you helped turns around and takes advantage.
Oh, hell, that’s SOP in scientology.
Yes, it is SOP for them.
I was stiffed several times by these “Big” beings.
Paying rent was not among their OT Priorities in my experience.
And they got away with it because as a Scientologist I had to “handle” it with Scientology ethics, and they were good at convincing the EOs that they were good people who should not be held responsible for promising to pay and then living rent free.
So, yeah, they were good, alright.
Good at getting sick and stiffing people.
Lisa PEZZELLA your time will come. Payback is a beotch! Shame on you for what you did….you may have fooled your family but we know what you really did.
nice joke, Wynski:”Any lurking Hubtard sycophants care to explain why Grade 2 doesn’t work ass Hubtard claimed?”
NOthing in Scientology “works” as Tubby claimed, even when his techniques are applied as exactly as possible, given the clarity (not) of his instructions. What he promised and what he worked toward were very different things (Note closely his “affirmations”, written shortly before D:MSMH). He hooked most of us in by offering us a way to help ourselves AND others. In reality, all of his efforts were to make us his slaves.
The guy had an evil genious for such things.
Bingo Jere!
