Here we go again…
A definition: Disaster capitalism is the practice of generating profits based on the occurrence of a disaster.
Next to that definition in the dictionary is the photo above.
These IAS people have no shame.
Let’s put this latest pathetic plea into perspective.
1. What Dominica needs is NOT Volunteer Ministers — it is money, clothing, food, construction workers and equipment.
2. IF Dominica really needed “Volunteer Ministers” and scientology really WAS about humanitarian aid, the Freewinds would have been despatched there 3 days ago and the entire crew could have stepped ashore and begun to help. They don’t DO anything all day anyway…. And that would only necessitate an IAS grant to buy enough fuel to sail there. MUCH cheaper than flying “30 VM’s” in (you want to bet when they finally show photos of the “massive relief efforts” there will be 3 or 4 VM’s visible, probably the same ones that went to the Philippines and Nepal and India and Indonesia….)
3. But hold on — every year we hear about how the Freewinds has created enormous PR area control and goodwill. Dominica is one of the islands she has visited. How come there aren’t a bunch of VM’s on the island already? Why don’t they train VM’s to help the local communities? According to them they have trained tens of thousands of VMs around the world (it’s the largest private relief force on earth remember — though it is a little strange that the same faces show up everywhere in the world) — but none on any of the islands where the Freewinds goes? (Of course, in scienotolgy, it’s always “somewhere else” that is doing so well. Somewhere you can’t SEE.
The sad part of this is that some decent people will hand over money to these lying vultures, thinking they are helping.
The IAS will trickle out a few thousand dollars to fly some people in for photo ops, while collecting massively more than this. The only people being helped are the IAS Regges who collect commissions and the IAS itself which will tuck away some more cash to add to its accumulated billion dollars.
This is a scam that Reed Slatkin would have wholeheartedly endorsed. What is most surprising is that there are still people out there who don’t realize it….
Once again it demonstrates that if someone WANTS to believe, you can tell them the most amazing lies and half-truths and they will buy every word of it, and even give you money to demonstrate the strength of their belief and conviction.
Repulsive and disgusting, but then again what else do we expect from $camology?
The fact is, at least to this non member, while I am starving, wet, cold and scared, I DO NOT want or need someones creepy hands groping me! The only person I feel is getting off on this are the VM’s. Please keep it to yourself. Better yet, form a group, rent a room and have at it!
Here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement
“The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is an international humanitarian movement with approximately 97 MILLION VOLUNTEERS, members and staff worldwide[2] which was founded to protect human life and health, to ensure respect for all human beings, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering.”
Per DM there are 200 000 VMS while the redcross has only 97 Millions !
That’s great mathematics !
The redcross alone has a yearly Budget of 15 Billions while the IAS is collecting some 100ds millions per year and buying ideal ogs o narconons that are empty….
LOL
Part of offering help is letting people know you’re there and available. Just about everybody has heard of the Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army as real go-to places. To name just a few.
How can it be that there is a relief organization that is larger than any of the aforementioned, in fact the “largest on the planet,” and yet few have ever heard of it. Fewer still have ever attested to seeing them in action, let alone being helped by them.
They build no hospitals, free clinics,counseling centers, shelters–nothing. Would you believe they’re for real?
When the only activity you ever notice is self-promotion and fundraising, what does that tell you?
If the IRS would make the IAS send out an audited (truthful) report of how donor’s money is being spent, they could not collect another dime. This is fraud, pure and simple.
Beryl, and if pigs flew I could ride one. The IRS doesn’t have the authority to do such a thing.
How ’bout this, (for those who believe in personal responsibility and are not lazy) if you want to donate to a “charity” demand PROOF of activities BEFORE giving money. Or at least take 5 minutes to look on internet at the 5 million pages that are screaming about your choice being a total fraud… ,smh.
Off topic but I went over to the back in common site .And one of there posters where blaming the psychs for the resonance COS was failing..LOL,them people are crazy.
I’m having problems with my auto correct. BACK IN COM. REASON
Hi Gary W, I fight with my auto correct every dayOne time I posted to John Locke about the dock ropes on the Excalibur were greased so no one could shimmy down them to leave.Wherever I posted greased auto correct made the word into breasted all about breasts.John and I had a good laugh over that!Always Ann B
What about a follow up of past VM success missions?
Interviews by Anderson Cooper with so called victims
(the ones that were slipped a few bucks to act pathetic or starving)
Ask what happened to those yellow T shirts ?
At the sight of Anderson Cooper, the VMs would flee the country.
OSD,
The VM’s would slip Anderson Cooper their motel keys and phone numbers
he would get a free yellow T shirt , wink,wink.
Man, I gotta stop drinking coffee while reading your posts, Jose. My screen is dripping a dark roast blend…
Largest relief force on Earth, lolol, and if you believe that, here’s another one I read just a little while ago in article about Alex Gibney. Church sent in a statement to the reporter stating that Scientology is the “fastest growing religion in the 21st Century”…LMFAO. How about: “The purveyors of the most lies about their church and religion in the 21st Century?” Sounds closer to the truth.
Good post mike! Keep shinning the light on these cockroaches and one day they will scurry away. Who is the top exec of the IAS now?
Hi Willie, who are the execs of the IAS?
That’s a good question and one I would like to know the answer to.
It appears there isn’t one anymore. I haven’t seen an exec representative for quite some time now in any promotions and only get letters from individual sea org reges or public ones.
It seems it’s all Miscavige now as he is the only one who speaks at the events on behalf the IAS. I saw the IAS event last year and he implored the public to make a “substantial donation” to the IAS at the end of the event. When he finally got done flapping his jaws.
So I’m guessing it’s the corporate property – under the exclusive control of the King and Queen of the IAS: David Miscavige and Monique Yingling. They don’t need anyone else to stick their nose in their business. Especially a pesky executive.
They don’t have to send VMs anywhere. Just have a bunch of OT VIIIs postulate rebuilt homes into existence, cause the mud flows to magically clear up, and make a cubic meter of gold appear magically in the capitol. OT VIIIs are at cause over MEST and life. They could do that if they wanted.
Hell, the Moxons turned back an alien invader fleet lurking near Venus — and they did that with their OT powers while sipping wine in their back yard. A little hurricane clean up should be no problem.
Hi FOTF2012,One of your best posts.I loved all the imagery made a great mind video of all these Miraculous OTs beaming out their OTness to all disaster areas.In reality the thought of actually playing with MEST might give some of the elder Sea Org & OT Committee members medical situations!Always Ann B.
It’s calledFantasy prone personality (FPP)
“it’s the largest private relief force on earth”. Here in the UK they ran adverts earlier this year making this claim, along with a photo showing VMs apparently in the thick of it; carrying a stretcher away from a helicopter. A bunch of us complained to the Advertising Standards Authority, which eventually reported back to us as follows:
“We have been in touch with the advertiser… [and] they have given us their assurance that they will ensure future ads do not raise similar issues relating to the claims about the size of the organisation and the comparison with large, internationally-recognised aid organisations; the type of aid and the comparative scale on which the ads claim it is provided and the kind of aid work that we consider the ad suggests the Volunteer Ministers are involved in.”
So they’ve had an “assurance” from Scientology here in the UK. Just in case that assurance should prove to be a hollow one we continue to be vigilant 🙂
Well done Graham. That reply by that board reads like someone talking with a mouthful of marbles. Lawyers talk like that a lot too but it’s great to see you’re keeping the bastards honest.
The only time scientology takes it foot out of it’s mouth is to put the other one in, anything they advertise bites back at them, so many lies…
It’s an old pun but how do you tell when a scientologist is lying? Their lips are moving.
Dominica destruction is unbelievable. Their first Ideal Org is the ONLY solution to catch up!
I’ll donate all of my cult books. Hey, it’s the least I can do. Literally.
I wanted to share a link on a product that saves lives for real! What I find amazing is how close the Vulture Minister photos look to these when they are handing out THE WAY TO CRAPPINESS books. It is shocking to look at these two sets of photos side by side. In one case a paper book that maybe can be read by someone depending if they can read but does nothing to change their liife or save it in a disaster situation. (Maybe can burn it for warmth) The other a small devise that weighs about the same (3 Ounces) and can treat one million gallons of water, saving untold amounts of lives. The unit cost for production I suspect is about the same as what $cientology charges in donations for one of its books. I also find it striking that in the Sawyer pictures, they are not taking gratuitous photos with members of their company next to devastated villagers, but just the product which value stands on it own. You can see the product being used in real time (present time) and making a difference.
A real company doing real good vs a bad company masquerading as a church, doing real bad.

Nice! Now these are professionals doing what’s needed in the poorest countries. And NOT standing around for photo ops. What. A. Difference. Night and day. Good and evil…
“Most importantly they will deliver LRH tech…”…MOST importantly???
“They will work…to clear away the damage and deliver food and water”…not as important as delivering the tech.

Hi IYawnalot,Your post are blasting off at full power.Love this one.The titanium PC folder labeling is priceless and “don’t find us we’ll find you “that is a warning for the ages.Always Ann B.
Ahhh the IAS. Spreading nothing far and wide. The scientologist is one of the more loneliest of people on earth. We all had the learn the meaning of the word “esoteric” at some point in our misadventure with the cult but now it’s a useful word. Scientology is indeed esoteric, so much so in fact, they generate and believe only what they want to believe or are told to believe. The scientologist confronts the world’s problems by giving monetary gifts to its own organisational head and that is that, all the world’s problems are solved that way. I wonder just how soundly they sleep, or what thoughts run through their minds when their kids school or medical fees are due and they look at their past expenditures.
Victims of disasters don’t need touch assists, they require real help, food, shelter and tangible things. The Scientology organisation and its IAS branch in particular is an embarrassment to the people of earth.
But to intentionally expand their coffers based upon profiting from the misery of others during disasters is despicable, complete and utter low life they are.
“Motivator” is another word we learned in the cult too hey? Rhymes with Karma in a honest person’s mind.
Hi I Yawnalot,Your post was so true,it sparkles.Sadly so many still-ins have forgotten how great it feels to ba able to express emotions.And not with those Tone Scales either!Always enjoy your posts!Ann B.
+1. Great post, I Yawn! But, I’m sure with a little effort, they can go even lower.
Funeral insurance maybe?
Or better still, (for a small/ big fortune) they digitise your PC folder data and inscribe it on eternity based titanium systems run with nuclear power with a half life of two eternities plus 7. Carry on where you left off and DMs slogan will be “Don’t find us we’ll find you.”
Or even better again, a lost system of enhancement was just discovered where the secret of body in pawn is truly revealed and reworked. Invest today in a long lasting better model of homo novis, invest all you have and feel great about dropping dead, DMs slogan on that one is “we’ve got you covered.”
Dave,
Is that a photo of the flood control channel behind Building 50 at Int? Tick tock, el nino is on the way.
threefeetback, do you realize how many MORE people will be thrown in the Hole (which continues to not exists) when that mountain starts to slide down into all the buildings and gets mud on Der Dwarfen fuhrer’s shoes??? Not to mention burying the Hole???
I wonder if I can sell ticket to this event…
OSD, I hear that Goodyear is commissioning some new blimps that will work well for aerial tours.
Perfect! Blimps it is!
While it’s true that disaster often follows scientology never let it be said scientology doesn’t return the favor.
On a grand scale, no less. Terrific post, rH!
Why thank you Surfer Dude that’s mighty neighborly of you to say so. It was a more polite way of saying scientology feeds on disaster at one end while continuously shitting it out from the other.
(coffee out my nose). You may want to add a warning to your posts when you come up with something as funny as you just did! …scientology feeds on disaster at one end while continuously shitting it out from the other.” LMAO!!! Now that’s some funny shit (no pun intended). Whew! You just made my day, pal!
What, no one with positive ‘postulates’ to make that hurricane miss Hispaniola? Tech failure is failure.
Three VMs will show up with a suitcase full of those yellow tshirts and pass them out to people who are digging out bodies or trying to reopen a wash out road and the three will just take pictures and try to do touch assists on some people lying down. They’ll try to pass out water bottles or some elses supplies and hang up a VM/$ciento banner and try to impress someone. Most of the locals will be too busy to play these games and they will ignore them.
Because the VMs and other clam ‘charities’ do not have any presence in the charity world, they are never going to be ‘rated’ or have the non-existent books examined.
As only clams are harmed, no one is ever going to exam what they do. And DM will use the commission structure to reward his loyal minions, as long as he gets his cut. It is always about the money, except when it is about worship of the COB.
What about Syria? It’s not landlocked; the Fartwinds could dock there and lend a hand, couldn’t it? Or does a tropical storm have to devastate Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and most of coastal Venezuela first? https://www.flickr.com/photos/marksshoops/20875428512/in/dateposted-public/
Big news on the NET. Blond from Norway
tells all about being recruited for Tom Cruise.
WTF ? The IAS is a joke.
The IAS is a joke on the whales, now that it has conned more than a billion dollars out of them. Not that they mind about these piddling sums.
Hi Roger From Switzerland Thought,Good to meet you.I agree Mike really nailed it with his sentence.I was thinking that the highest OT level should enable one to view from afar if needed and wanted.The view of cos and all the goodwill bs and all the racing upward stats and breathless Clears being made every day everywhere,that view is obscured by haze and smoke from the famous non- Bridge Bridge.In other words:The scammers keep on scamming.Take Care Ann B.

You could say the Church of Scientology is one big PR Personality. Virtually everything that emanates from it is bigger, better, faster, epic, earth-shattering, etc. The effects they create are on a galactic scale. Their importance is monumental, with the lives of every man, woman and child held in the balance.
(yawn) Pity none of it is true.
LOL,Statpush .You’re the man.
Are you serious??? None of it is true??? Holy shit! I…I don’t know what to think anymore! So you’re saying it’s ALL PR for PR sake??? It’s not bigger, faster, epic & earth-shattering???The effects are NOT on a galactic scale??? Their importance is NOT monumental, with the lives of every man, woman and child held in the balance??? Well hells, bells and taco shells, I’m going to get myself a beer and forget you ever told that to me.
Sorry OSD, but it’s true. I felt you deserved to know the truth….NAH…just shit ‘n ya! All that shit is fucking TRUE. Hard to believe, I know. That’s what makes Scn so god damn awesome!
Hi OSD, I know I love your wife because she puts up with you the way I put up with my hubby of 34 years.But seriously OSD you are a light of spirit dancing on the fire.You do the Cambell Clan Proud. Actually OSD your posts should be guide lights to those still,in to see the fairy dust behind their belief.A wave toward the shore of any beach is not like clear and beyond for me now.Sorry Ron your whole church has run aground.. Love U both always Ann B.
Oh, thank God, statpush! You REALLY had me worried there! Thank God it’s all true! Especially that Scn is so god damn awesome! Plus, the beer made me feel better. Beer Tech.
I’m surprised they don’t have a Hurricane unit that regs for relief funds during the Hurricane
season. No reason to have to wait for a storm to form and hit somewhere. They could call it
postulate relief donations. Sounds weird and far fetched but who knows what these idiots will
do when they have a bunch of other idiots they can con money out of at the drop of a hat.
Well, according to my L.A. Times weather map, Flap is getting hit with quite a bit of rain from Erika. People may actually get wet. Their shoes might actually get soggy. Don’t you think a fundraiser for umbrellas and rubber boots is in order? And not just ordinary umbrellas either. Oh no! They have to be high end umbrellas as do the rubber boots. Just wondering…
Well, I could do with a new umbrella. I think this is a great idea.
There you go, Mike! That’s the spirit! You see, posters, Mike is on board! Ok, we’ll start at $5,000…
Hi Potpie, Your post about cos doing any type of hurricane relief all year long to,prepare,is not weird or far fetched.I think at this point the cult will try any regging to get money any way they can.To me what makes them different to all the other help groups during disasters,is that cos really really does not give a flying #### about any one man woman child baby plant doggie or kitty that is not a total Tone 40 follow David Miscanige to the grave Scientologist.The rest are as Ron used to say so poetically,Raw Meat Only.No other use for wogs etc.Love all your posts and U.Ann B.
Pommeranz, Roberts et all front and center please
Both these guys are pathetic….
The IAS reminds me of a lot of things….none of them good.
Not one ounce of sincerity with a monumental know best attitude
that does not work for or help anyone but themselves.
It would fun to watch the IAS regs scurry in glee when a disaster strikes in
some part of the world.
They pulled it in. They are down-stats. Scientology is all about making the able more able. Not giving aid to a bunch of down-stats.
Hi Roger Gonnet, Thank you for your wonderful post,I laughed.Yes Ron how do you find the time to handle all Universes without the body you knew.Must give you spirit exhaustion running constantly to look for a new body that will fit your exacting standards.And I once would give up anything anywhere to follow him.Ann that was a gigantic flunk! Always Ann B.
I observed many times similar shots of “disasters” n”helped” by the cult. The maximum of people shown with their scientology yellow trick were 45 or 46.
That was for New Orléans…
Well, roger, that sounds reasonable to me. I’m surprised they sent that many. I mean, let’s break it down: The ninth ward got flooded. People were without food or water. Their pets were stranded. People died while waiting for help. And the water was probably a little polluted. I’d say 45 or 46 Volunteer Vultures could handle that. Besides, these folks were volunteers!!! They didn’t have to be there. I believe they were there out of the goodness of their hearts. Also, New Orleans isn’t THAT big of city, right?
I think you’re being a bit negative, my friend…
Oh yeah, I laughed indeed of the ways scientology “handles” the universe, how L. wrong “handles” from far away, without a body. Or did he finally got a cropse?
He was a corpse. Now he’s just ashes.
I would love to know the amount of the “grant” that the IAS is so graciously bestowing and how many team members of CINAT will be funded to go. A handful perhaps? I would also like to know if those 30 VM’s will have their air fare paid for in full, along with sufficient meals and water. They shouldn’t have to pay for anything while doing sponsored relief work under the flag of the IAS.
My question is, why is the COS=IAS so focused on Disaster Relief as a ‘charitable cause’ to fund raise for? Why is the COS=IAS not interested in helping the poor, the hungry or the homeless? What about animals or the environment? The IAS cannot claim to be “the rock and fortress of humanity” and not care about the poor, hungry or the homeless. No, it doesn’t work that way, IAS.
My theory is that it is because it is difficult to verify the extent of the charitable donation when it’s going to some place far, far away. Ever notice how the IAS doesn’t issue a grant when there’s a major disaster right here in the USA, with the largest concentration of Scientologists on Earth and COS HQ? Tornado alley or Hurricane Katrina ring a bell?
People will then be able to see the extent of ‘the grant’ up close and personal and might hear talk about how the VM’s had to pay their own air fare and food the whole time they were there, yet they earned a few bottles of water to drink a day from the IAS.
Want to know why the COS=IAS isn’t interested in helping the poor, hungry or the homeless? Because the COS and it’s child-propaganda machine the IAS, doesn’t believe in charity and doesn’t practice it. It never has and it most likely never will.
Pepper, you mean…… wait that the COS doesn’t deliver what they promise? The most ethical group on the planet, and they can’t be trusted? I must be extremely out ethics to even consider such an idea. Henry
Don’t scare me, Henry! I’m just about to go in for my 6 month sec check. And you are extremely out ethics to even consider such an idea. I’m afraid I’ll have to disconnect from you. Sorry pal. I know we had some good times and all, but, this is really, really serious…
Yes Henry you are!
And the same goes to OSD. 🙂
And as usual the VMs will basically fund themselves and TWTH bookets will be at full profit, (I mean price) to those dumb enough to support another IAS charade.
The most ineffective help group on the planet. (Except for raising money from fools).
LOL:
“Of course, in scienotolgy, it’s always “somewhere else” that is doing so well. Somewhere you can’t SEE.”
One of the best sentence ever written in any blog.
Roger, you mean like the L.A. Org where senior C/S WUS Andres Rodriguez says 700 new people A WEEK flood into that Idle Morgue? Would that count as the “somewhere else?” I mean, Andres wouldn’t make up shit like that, would he????
You’re not being truthful here, Mike. Google CINAT. The wonderful organization also helped Brazil behind the scene with the World Cup games in 2014. All together now, get out your check books…….
Mike said, “it’s the largest private relief force on earth remember — though it is a little strange that the same faces show up everywhere in the world.”
Ah the bitter, defrocked apostate has so many O/W’s that he doesn’t recall that LRH developed Cloning Tek (TM) before he died and DM has simply utilized that for the VM program.
Cloning tech.John ,you are one funny SOB.You keep me laughing out loud with some of the ad hit you say.
I’m sorry auto correct “.Shit”.
Dominica needs Way to Happiness booklets!
And touch assists!
And locationals.
Touch assists are thirsty work so drink plenty of their emergency water.
Thomas: If my house were struck by a tornado should I appeal to the IAS for funds to rebuild it whether I am a member of the Church of Scientology or not? As usual another one of the Church of Scientology broad public fairy tales to gather money. Why doesn’t David Miscavige tour Dominica if his church is so gung ho about the place? Because he doesn’t have any interest in that, just his church does?. That church, always putting their foot in their mouth’s while living with their heads up their asses. 🙂
And ideal orgs!!
