Terra is back once again... Do You Swear to Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth? Scientology has a reputation of attacking anyone they perceive as a threat. They bully. They coerce. They intimidate. Hire private investigators. Apply pressure. And last but not least, they threaten legal action via a cadre of soulless lawyers. That said, when is the last time the church actually sued someone? And won? Not this century, anyway. Appearing in Court? Oh, No! The problem for Scientology with regards to lawsuits is the potential of having to appear in court and back up … [Read more...]

The Irony of Ideal Boston
Boston was the org spoken of in such glowing terms by L. Ron Hubbard in LRH ED 339R-1: They are proof -- way back in the early 70's (and written about by Hubbard in 1982) that a new building has nothing to do with expansion. Since Hubbard wrote thus in 1982 there have been exactly zero orgs in the world that have achieved St Hill size and remained so. Yet Hubbard claimed Boston had done it in the 70's. And they did it in the OLD building they had on Beacon St. They SOLD that because that one was not good enough (seemed like it was fine for Hubbard?). That was about 10 YEARS ago … [Read more...]
The Irony Is Strong
This ad aired multiple during Sunday night's episode of The Aftermath: The woman "Sadie" IS a real person. She was at Golden Era productions in the Sea Org with her husband Axel (her husband in the ad). Sadie is infamous for an incident at the base where David Miscavige commanded her to run over Marc Yager (then CO CMO International) in her car (she had a VW Beetle). As any good Sea Org member at the Int Base would, Sadie jumped in her bug and started trying to run down Marc Yager. He literally ran for his life, and jumped off the loading dock that is part of the … [Read more...]
Volunteer Minister Vultures
Of course, with the tragic fires in northern and southern California, David Miscavige's self-proclaimed "largest independent relief force in the world" has sprung into immediate action... Fundraising. What else but a healthy dose of "disaster capitalism" to rake in some more dough as tens of thousands have been evacuated, countless have lost their homes and families have lost loved ones. I know the reg vultures like Jeff Pomerantz never give it a thought -- but do the people who give actual money to the IAS ever wonder how come the money they gave BEFORE isn't being used for … [Read more...]
The Legends of Our Religion
This new propaganda piece raises an important question. Where ARE those "legends of scientology"? It is true that many of the "leading lights" of scientology at the time signed this pledge. Though the real story of the IAS is a very different one than the revised history scientology tries to make it out to be. This "pledge signing" was merely a PR stunt -- the IAS had been formed by a Danish lawyer as a means of keeping money outside the purview of the IRS. It was a "bright idea" to form an "association" which was a uniquely European thing and to divert all funds from orgs outside the US … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Is Shriveling
Remember when they used to issue these commendations BEFORE the "Ideal Org" opened and publish their "OTC Minutes" listing the attendees? They don't do that any more because they were embarrassed about them repeatedly being leaked and appearing on this blog. Ah, for the good old days... And remember the 10X expansion that is guaranteed when an org has its ribbon yanked by the only True Leader, David Miscavige? Well, Valley has just announced their progress towards achieving 10X. They now have 30 active OTC members. But wait a second. It … [Read more...]
Squirrels and Change
Squirrels and Change L. Ron Hubbard defined “squirrel” as, 1. a squirrel is doing something entirely different. He doesn’t understand any of the principles so he makes up a bunch of them to fulfill his ignorance, foists them off on a pc and gets no place. (SH Spec 77, 611C08). 2. Those who engage in actions altering Scn, and offbeat practices. (ISE, p. 40). –v. change and invent processes. (HCOB 15 Jan 70 II).” In HCO PL 14 Feb 65, he defined “squirreling” as, “altering Scientology, offbeat practices. It is a bad thing.” Comparing anyone who would try something different to a rodent is a t … [Read more...]
The Braun Noser’s Ode
This is a sad indication of the level of fawning praise those inside the bubble heap on David Miscavige. They are so deluded they eagerly lap up his bs and believe he is leading them into a "golden age" of scientology ascendancy on earth. They think under his guidance scientology is being accepted everywhere and is expanding like never before. Truly it is the Emperor's New Clothes syndrome. Nobody wants to say it out loud -- instead they praise his wonderful garments. I think some of them truly don't even see he is naked because they don't want to look. Instead, they believe that it will … [Read more...]
Scientology Math — the “International Review”
Some real "scientology math" at work here. They apparently sent a survey out to 47,565 email addresses they have. They got answers from 132 people internationally who have actually listened to all these ACCs. These are the people who listen to Hubbard lectures because they cannot afford to buy auditing. 13 of them reported they had completed their TRs and Objectives Co-Audit in the last year which was nearly twice as many as the 7 who had reported completing the year before. Thus -- a survey of 47,ooo proved that studying the ACCs doubles your speed of progress up the … [Read more...]
Battlefield Scientology
The beautiful, brave and brilliant Paulette Cooper sent me a note about the new book she authored with Tony Ortega of Underground Bunker fame. I have not had a chance to read it yet, but Paulette is a wonderful writer and Tony has an encyclopedic knowledge of scientology so I feel certain that I cannot go wrong in recommending it. Tony’s blog is a wealth of invaluable information that has been accumulating for years. It truly is the scientology wikipedia. I tell people if they cannot find what they are looking for about scientology on the Bunker it probably doesn't exist. And this is a s … [Read more...]
