Wowee, 1300 square feet of paving stones! Every inch meticulously restored…
When Scientology Media Productions opens its doors and the cameras start to roll, the world will know Scientology is here — but riddle me this. Golden Era Productions, which is FAR larger and has more facilities than this, has been around since 1980. They can produce anything that this facility can produce already?
Oh, it’s just an excuse to try and get more money.
In scientology, that is the ONLY answer that EVER makes sense.

Renovations at Scientology Media Productions are rapidly moving toward completion.Exterior renovations are now done, including installation of over 13,000 square feet of new paving stone and all architectural details and original brick and mortar. Every inch has been meticulously restored.Since this was the very studio where LRH scripted his blockbuster serial The Secret of Treasure Island and many others in the 1930s, a prominent display lines the walls of the studio’s historic corridors.Interior renovations are now moving full speed ahead with a grand opening scheduled for this summer.Our new 21st century dissemination power plant will soon be the emanation point for a Scientology television station, a Scientology radio station, all Scientology Internet and print dissemination, as well as the central coordination point for our 4th dynamic global salvage campaigns.
Wow, I bet you didnt know these amazing media “facts” — not unless you had not watched TV in the last 50 years…
And not if you don’t watch HBO (of course, NO scientologist watches HBO…)
And, as if on cue, here is the proof that this is ALL about the money.
These special editions are produced in NIGERIAN leather? Is this some sort of joke? A clever little inside thing that is a play on the hackneyed internet “Nigerian scam”? Boy, I sure wish I had a book that was hand bound in “Nigerian leather”? Nigerian oil. Nigerian rubber. Nigerian cocoa beans. Nigerian scam.
And the best they can do in both promo pieces are “successes” from advertising that ran 25 and 30 YEARS AGO.
The last time anything successful was happening apparently.
With all the regging now going through the roof, at what point do scilons realize whats really going on?.. Where does all this money go??.. offshore accounts for davey?
;).
With fruitious efforts like’ Going Clear.’ and so many lesser high profile ‘gains’… It’s all good .. At the risk of sounding like the die hard Liberal I am… It really does take a village.
Er, Liz, I was replying to a post by Idle Morgue May 4th @ 12:02 Pm Oops, Tory Christman IS Tory Magoo. My bad. My tone is 40 usually.
Okay Johnnyboy, don’t get your panties all in a wad.
My point, whether I’ll informed of not, was that recruitment of young people ages 15, 16, our 17 are still considered minors. But I stand corrected. BTW, I’d watch that tone,… Sounds a bit defensive, paranoid.. Some habits die hard do they?
Add to the list: Tory Christman and the Angry Gay Pope.
I beg to disagree, Roger.
There is no way that you can honestly say, not with a straight face(and at the risk of sounding spiritual or religious, say with a pure heart.. that just means honestly) that anyone who fell for, anyone who’s currently in, or anyone who found(escaped) their way out is or was at fault for falling victim.
I grew up in San Diego during the 70’s… Read about the Moonies; remember Guyana, the old creepy, scary guy- don’t remember his name. The Hari Krishnas at the Airport & @ the bus stop as I transferred from my Jr and Sr. High school trip s home. Even back then, I knew they’d been swallowed up by something bigger than them selves. If you we re part of the COS, which I’m totally going on a limb here with,u have to forgive yourself for being so gullible. You got swept up. Its happened to many a men, men more greater than you. If not. We should be part of the solution. Condemnation isn’t in the process. Sincerely, Liz
Thank you Liz. Yes I was brainwashed and I like to tell my stories from that tour. It was a great experience and I don’t have to forgive myself. It’s the most typical thing to get fooled now and then in this world full of tricksters. I finally said, “this is bullshit” just like many other people did like Debbie Cook and Mike Rinder who lost his entire family in service to his moral compass. If my moral compass doesn’t kick in then I’m fucked. Scientology or no scientology. Without that moral compass a person is lost just like the Hole Dwellers. Those are lost people. You think they should be rescued? I wouldn’t try to stop such an effort nor would I try to start one. That’s the difference between you and me and I’m glad there are people like you.
More LRH fluffing. “The Secret of Treasure Island” was not “scripted” by Hubbard. He is credited with the “story” and another guy actually wrote the screenplay. Also it was based on “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson, so Stevenson probably wrote 90% of the story and Hubbard substituted 10% of his usual mediocrity. Also, very doubtful it was filmed at KCET. The lot was the home of Monogram Pictures, though The Secret of Treasure Island was released by Columbia. Not impossible that it was filmed at Monogram, or at least parts of it were, but Columbia had a much bigger studio and access to a backlot. Monogram did not have a real backlot, just a tiny strip of storefronts. So in all likelihood Monogram was rented only if every facility at Columbia was booked. Just took a quick look at it on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxjHf4Af_tY There was a lot of exterior shooting, looks like out in the boonies somewhere. A number of soundstage interiors, which could have been done at Monogram I guess. Noticed it was produced by Louis Weiss, whose son, Adrian Weiss, later worked with Ed Wood. Mark of quality there.
Scientology Media Productions; GIVE me a break. DM keeps going back to same strategy and the same well. No clue where the bulk of COS funds come from at least not the sustainable big$$. Perhaps Blackmailing what few A-Listers COS has left, is a start.
ITS not going to open. Point in fact: Aren’t most OPENINGS listed with potential month, year or even decade date?
Gotta love the [ M.] Mouse. He’s just micromanaging himself into an even earlier demise. Would love to be a fly on that wall
Good point about using the Celebrities they have, initially, I guess. Quite honestly,I don’t see it.
SOC is way too private (paranoid.. as well they should be) to air anything remotely revealing. How in the world would they hold any outsiders interest? Just another ‘ Mighty Mouse’ ruse, milking the same ol’ suckers. Incredible. Truth is truly stranger than fiction
Liz, these shows would be targeted for the Still -Ins.
I’m hoping that David Miscavige is intending to use his Whales and Celebs in reality shows so as to afford His plebian Still-In Sheeple exciting glimpses into the fascinating lives of these Big Beings – you know, what they actually DO in the brief time lapses between their donating all those millions to Ideal Morgues and the IAS. We’re vitally interested in these people, after all. Do they shop for groceries? Buy their kid an ice cream cone, gas up their tank, “just like us”? I’m hoping that the Jensens, the Duggans and the Cardones, Nancy Cartwright, etc. etc. will each have their own shows.
I can dream, right?
Yes, Chuck, what a hoot that would be. But I’ll bet that Apple Box Boy David Miscavige will mandate that actors sign first gag orders before being hired to play what are sure to be all the “happy, satisfied Scientologists” in his upcoming little productions. Still, I can’t wait.
The LA studios will allow more leaks quicker.
What would be a great gag is some real big Hollywood celebs go audition for some Scientology movie/video parts, and tattle what the experience was like.
Now the science fiction faithful,will not be able to ever get any real information,all there knowlage will be from david miscabbage and his LRH daily feedings. Lol imagine they make every member get a recieving box or something like the one Ya get when your broke to watch channels 2-13. A glorious bunch of scientology channels and shows staring all the young aspiring actors that were just looking for there way&extremely vournerable. Then scientology scooped them off the streets of L.A. Promising communication acting classes so great,just look at what they did for JT,TC,KA,EC,JL,NC,etc etc. Shows full of Guest appearances and maybe even career shattering scientology sitcoms staring All the famous idiots and all there kids. I can’t wait to get a peek at these shows!

“We are the only road out. …” LRH
This idea is the singular most evil concept a group can agree to. When an ideology is the “only way” it’s natural assumption is that all other ways are misleading.
If I knew that the only way out of a burning building was through one door and other people were claiming another door was the way but that way was misleading them to their demise,I would be justified in making the wrong way out an enemy of the people.
“Only ways” are the source of justified condemnation or even violence against those outside the group.
This is the most singular evil that Ron perpetrated and imprinted on his disciples.
The injustice and violence that this doctrine engenders is the scourge of civil society.
Solution for Nigerian pomo eaters: Boko Haram.
Paris Velaska? Minor held against her will on board no less, the Freewinds!
I KNOW it’s only 1 of hundred’s of ex Scientologist horrors stories. Why are there never any successful follow ups? Heart just breaks thinking about how much damage little piece of shit DM had caused.
Horrendous!
I’ve worked out why they are covering the books in Nigerian leather. It’s so the whales will have something to eat after they have been bankrupted.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/1021948.stm
As an apple developer I thought I would see what Scientology was doing in the App Store. With over 300 million people a day going to the app store its the worlds largest audience. Literally anyone can have an app on the app store with many app building softwares out there. As an example I have over 90 apps on apple and google for my clients.
SO bearing that in mind heres what they have.
Celebrity magazine. Last issue published in 2013.
One app in books thats for extension courses.
3 books in English (more in other languages) Fundamentals of thought, New Slant on Life, Problems of work)
There are more anti scientology books than LRH books on the store.
On Google play there are NO apps and two books
So there you have it. Scientology breaking the barriers of technology to the largest audience on the planet.
Don’t you just love it when peanut brain, Mighty Mouse, as I affectionately refer to him, does alot of the work for ‘Team Blown.’
Appreciate you. I can’t speak for everyone else on this blog or others like this, but there’s a general feeling that the COS is fleeting. Case in point: The feeble attempt to raise money through the (excrutuiatingly ‘ dated) SCIENTOLOGY Media Ctr. Opening ‘ newsletter.
Our heads/brains know this is nonsense, but COS’s past conquests have taught us to tread lightly. PLease keep us posted.
Side note: How the watch selling?
What’s funny about this whole thing are that the “success stories” from people who say they got into $cientology because of the Dianetics TV ads from the 80s. Those commercials were for the most part the work of “declared SP” and “member of Anonymous” and “bitter, defrocked apostate”, Jefferson Hawkins. COB did everything he could to try to stop these commercials; they succeeded anyways. Miscavige, on the other hand, was responsible for the Dianetics racing car, which turned out to be a failure and a big waste of church money.
Yeah…but TC thought that the race car was wayyyyy cool!
SOMEBODY please EXPLAIN. Answer me this please!!! Why with so many people reporting on the near atrocities that have and are still taking place in the’ Hole,’ what keeps authorities from storming the place. Grand Juries are assembled for many would be illegal acts, activities. What keeps any one of our forms of governments from inspecting it. Just based on the ground of its inhabitability for human dwelling or even a work place. Must be in violation of dozens of codes! Just don’t get it. SOMEBODY, please explain
Liz, there is simply no upside for any of the authorities to look into this. Most importantly, it is almost a certainty that NONE of the brainwashed people in the Hole will say anything negative about their treatment if asked. (it is only FORMER inhabitants who will complain). In fact, they would all no doubt say that they are there voluntarily and are having spititual gains from their being there.
Furthermore Liz, there is no reason I can see FOR any authorities to waste taxpayer money on this. As Ron has said so many times, the key to all cases is responsibility (the election of oneself as cause). The Scientologists in the Hole ARE the reason the CoS is the way it is and why it has the leader it has. Tough shit is my feeling for Yager, Gullaume, Heber and the rest there. THEY are the ones who keep the CoS the way it is. They made their OWN beds, so …. They are in the Hole because they have decided to continue to be there. Until they decide to leave, they will continue to be there. (personally I think they DESERVE to be there for the “church” they have created, just like I think current members deserve to be bled dry of all their money for supporting disconnection, etc. )
Joe P, using the abuses and fraudulent practices of the Church of Scientology and its acceptance by its members by way of illustration, you have just explained the entire philosophy behind PT Barnum’s “Never give a sucker an even break”.
Harsh words. But no one, at least in the United States, deserves to be stricken of their inalienable rights. Local, State and Federal authorities have to step up. Like I wrote before, grand jury inquires have been supported on far less assumptions.
I understand your frustration, anger and animosity toward those who have helped build this atrocity.
Got to be positive. If a bone head, pathological lying MISFIT like Ron could outwit the IRS, IT’S only a matter of time that the right person, people of legal and ethical authority will stand up to and challenge this whole mess. I could be wrong on the immediate time frame, but I don’t think so .
In the interim,
I do look forward to watching Miscavidge implode … That would be a nice start (in).
BTW, videos recently watched Paris Valeska; 1982 City of Clearwater City Hall inquiries in to Scientology involving Older couple: Ernest and Del Hatwell, something like that and Astra, minor from UK. Listen to their stories. I think you’ll soften your hard line approach abit. JKidding. But sad all the same.
The “prisoners” are imprisoned by their false beliefs. They have forgotten to care about what is right and good. Should they be rescued? Some of them may resent being rescued and consider it a humiliation. I can understand that. Naturally they would hate for the world to see what they have become. They aren’t high-ranking officers who are looked up to. They are stooped and WILLING slaves living in a squalid pit. That is about as low as you can get I think. I don’t condemn them but I don’t feel sorry for them either. I think they serve the cause of knowledge now as we see just how far they will go and what they will give up in order to hold on to ideas that are so easily debunked. They aren’t victims of a crime they ARE the crime.
“But no one, at least in the United States, deserves to be stricken of their inalienable rights.”
Liz, no one is being denied their inalienable rights. People have a right to remain in a cult if they want. If they don’t they can walk. Pretty dang simple.
Nope, I disagree. The legal term for what you’re missing is “undue influence.”
Check out “Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out” by Steven Hassan and “Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out” by Rick Ross to see why the victims are not to blame; well, certainly not to blame in the way you do, IMHO.
The ones who were born in or grew up in (like Claire Edwards, Neil Gaiman’s sister) did not have a choice and some of them ended up in the hole. Even the ones who did join at an age where they could make informed choices were not given the whole information before joining – quite the opposite.
My bad! The Steven Hassan book is, of course, “Combatting Cult Mind Control: The #1 Best-selling Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults”
It’s becoming painfully clear to me that I lack the
the properly detached sensitivities and or learned(COS) sensibilities that it takes to be a proper cheer leader for this crazy injustice called Scientology. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time I was caught incorrect; standing behind something politically incorrect
Because if they did raid the place then the people locked up inside of it would tell their rescuers that they wanted to be there and tell them to go away.
Liz, it is simple. For the most part the acts being done are on adults who CHOOSE to keep receiving them. It is the exact same reason that the gov doesn’t break up sadomasochism couples. It is a human right to NOT have the gov interfere. As for the children in the S.O. there are almost none now. Also, the number of people in scn is almost nil.
(A little secret) ANYONE at Int who says that they will call the authorities if they are held gets kicked out asap. They are trapped by their own decisions.
Maybe so. But the SeaOrg’s got to be full of underage young men and women, who either got sold a bill of goods and can’t leave. Parental consent, I highly doubt, had been given to majority of those there. If that weren’t enough to get warrants, etc what about child labor laws and the fact that these children are not attending school!!! Emancipation for that 1,000 of a percent that may have actually attained it.OK.. But honestly, what court would rule in favor of this lunacy?!!!
“(A little secret) ANYONE at Int who says that they will call the authorities if they are held gets kicked out asap. They are trapped by their own decisions.”
That’s amazing. That’s all they need to say to obtain their automatic release. So incredibly simple. Truly, a prison of their own making. Wow.
Incorrect again Liz. I think that you won’t find any kids in the SO who don’t have parental consent. The Church was getting them back in the late 70’s. Now child labor laws may being violated. BUT, as I pointed out, no one is being denied their inalienable human rights. When you make legal claims that aren’t true you HELP the cult.
I think I finally figured out the leather, and it was thanks to the multiple Ricardo Montalban jokes, so thanks to everyone here for their unwitting assistance. To wit: some car companies a lot more high-end than Chrysler only source their leather for interiors from countries that don’t use barbed wire for penning cattle. No barbed wire, no harm to the hide once the cow’s finished using it. Nigeria is a country with a lot of cattle (since in the more rural areas, it’s the traditional base of currency) and very little barbed wire, so the hides coming out of there are as blemish-free as a supermodel’s butt.
Hence, your L. Fraud opus will be clad in the same high quality of leather that would accommodate the asses of most of the whales who could afford such extravagance.
Espiando, please NEVER make any disparaging remark about the great Ricardo Montalbon. Not only was the phrase “soft Corinthian leather” never intoned as the great Ricardo did it, but his hairpieces themselves were a marvel to behold at every opportunity. Thankfully we can now see these small works of cinematic art on youtube and record them for multiple viewings. My last comment on this, because I know Ricardo would have wanted to hear it on his death bed is ……. “the plane, the plane” ……
I would never make a disparaging remark about the Great Ricardo. He gets a Kha KHAAAAAAANNN!!!! from me.
“One Ad, One Life….” and now I’m ED, Emotionally Disturbed? Sounds about right
Scientology is a blight, a sort plague on society and must be eradicated. Unfortunately, internet hackers take no sides; money is their only drive. With Scientology’s unlimited resources it will be hard to keep one step ahead of them. But it can be done, thanks to the brave ex member s that speak out on blogs; produced rallies and show up for and support protests. God bless you all… you speak for those cannot.
So true Liz
Well, don’t forget, Mike, LRH himself said that Gold was the most expensive, wasteful, worst org in the history of Scientology, which no doubt Dear Leader quoted several million times to berate Gold and justify buying yet another white elephant.
You got that right Dan when I worked with Gold on events I called them Dead Run Productions. It was like watching the Keystone cops.
Is Nigerian leather anything like rich Corinthian leather? 😉
Does this Nigerian leather come with freed school girls too? And is Boko Haram the group they get the leather from? Just wondering…
I hope that studio really does get opened and soon. It’s going to be just like the what you saw on the screens in the movie “1984” from the novel of the same name. I noticed Freedom Mag is going to have its own show! Woh! And maybe the naming of who’s Disconnected, who’s Declared this week can have it’s own slot too, Miscavige’s own version of the “five minute hate”. I can just imagine Kirstie Alley and Jenna Elfman word clearing their scripts now. Oh my. Dave really is clueless, isn’t he?
I love it! Would be great ‘ Guilty Pleasure TV. Too bad its just another DM ruse to sucker/ pressure more unsuspecting members into giving more money. yes I said unsuspecting. These people keep climbing and giving, desperately reaching for this imaginary summit
The big reason why I got out was because of nothing was delivered that was Promised.
Any remark deemed critical even if revealingly truthful get stuck in the machinery forever
even after you pack your bags and ship out to the boondocks under an assumed name.
No amount of promoting will fix this,it will only get worse. Yes there will always be fanatical
Whales that will give tens of millions to David (let him die) Miscavige because their money is tainted
and mutually corrupt with Scientology’s actual products (like attracts like)
Bob Duggan should be indicted as a co-conspirator for enabling Miscavige to perpetuate his fraud and abuse.
Not even Corinthian leather? Ricardo Montalban would be disappointed….
Giggle!
“Corinthian leather” is a name directly developed by the advertising agency Bozell to describe a leather upholstery fabric.
“Developed” by an ad agency sounds like most of Blubbard’s bull, not merely a leather product!
For the rest of us elders or others plagued by Montoban’s ear worm, if you thought you had heard of Córdoban and not “Corinthian”, it is a leather derived from equine hides…
Dave’s copy is made with foreskins…… whales foreskins!
If exterior renovations are already done, as they say in the caption below the photo, then why on earth are the using a pretty poor quality computer generated “architectural rendering” instead of, oh I don’t know, A REAL PHOTO OF THE EXTERIOR?!?!
I’m hoping that the film industry here completely refuses torment any space. I hope it turns out to be a ghost town. My hunch is that most film makers would rather not have anything to do with that place.
Anyone who has studied graphology can see that the gold handwriting on the cover of this “limited edition” of Dianetics – belongs to someone who is seriously mentally disturbed. They don’t even know that they’re broadcasting this fact to the psychiatric community at large. Hilarious!!
Is it just the irregularity of the writing?
I was going to guess they showed Miscavige some different handwriting styles to choose which he liked best, he misunderstood and said “yes, that’s right” to the whole thing, and they had to combine every style together because they were too scared to correct him.
It’s the irregular, multi directional form of the writing (erratic, chaotic mind), the overblown flourishes (false, aggrandized sense of self) and deeply emotional nature of overall form. When I see writing like this on an employment application or letter I know to run away fast. They’re not just crazy – they’re DEEPLY crazy with so much drive behind it that you are sure to get shot somewhere along the line.
P.S. If the leather is tanned “all over the world” what makes it Nigerian? The only explanation is that the hides tanned are human ones. They’re bound in human flesh!
So are the stats produced by the slaves.
I’m sure those sales stats on emeters are enhanced, and they’re still TINY compared to what they “should” be. Since when, btw, did Hubbard WRITE IN THE VERY SAME STUDIO COMPLEX! What new bullshit is this?
A multi-million dollar media studio for, among other things, “Internet dissemination”? On YouTube there are vlogs that have between 1 to 26 million subscribers and many more millions of viewers. These vloggers usually broadcast from their homes. Why doesn’t the Church of Scientology focus on YouTube? Aside from the fact that money cannot be laundered through YouTube productions the way it can be through large construction projects, YouTube shows the number of viewers for each video. How embarrassing if the church produced videos and only a few thousand of the so-called ten million members watched.
The cherch cannot compete in the real world. YouTube is a reflection of our current culture. The fact that they have so few views is indicative of the public’s interest in the subject. Anything which potentially exposes Scn lies the cherch is vehemently against and if it can’t attack it, it will nullify it.
The cherch operates off the false principle that there is an ever-present, high demand for Scn. Low YouTube stats expose this lie.
Boo-ya! CO$ YouTube channel. You know those bastards would disable the comments, though.
All Scientology videos and websites without exception, including of course Captain David Miscavige’s official Facebook fan page have the comments disabled.
“Since this was the very studio where LRH scripted his blockbuster serial The Secret of Treasure Island and many others in the 1930s, a prominent display lines the walls of the studio’s historic corridors..” is there any proof whatsoever he wrote that stuff there? And “many others”?
“After his work on The Secret of Treasure Island, L. Ron Hubbard also helped with the script for the 1941 Columbia movie serial, The Spider Returns.[9]” Wiki
Mimsey.
According to IMDB, Hubbard didn’t “script” (to use the brochure’s verb) “The Secret of Treasure Island” at all. He’s credited for the “story” and three other writers are named as “scripters.” And it certainly was a “blockbuster” — all you have to do is see what a rocket to stardom it was for its two leads, Don Terry and the immortal Gwen Gaze.
“And in this office, several actual Hollywood executives talked for TWO HOURS about Battlefield Earth a week after its release!!”
“ONE AD SAVED A LIFE”, L.B.’s success story has him, after 31 years, almost at the top of the Bridge to Total Freedom. That’s longer than it takes to become a medical doctor it you consider the schooling begins at kindergarten. Why would somebody take such a leisurely route to TOTAL FREEDOM???!!! I don’t think the problem lies with the diminished appeal of total freedom but with the diminished belief that the Bridge can lead anybody to anything but increased status within a rapidly shrinking society.
Excellent point Roger. If Scn truly, truly gave a being Total Freedom – you wouldn’t even need to advertise. People would be begging you to take their money. Alas, it just simply isn’t true. About the only thing Scn CAN deliver is the HOPE of Total Freedom, nothing more.
As usual DLHMDM wants more money to “fix” plantary dissemination. Gold was supposed to be this.
The problem has never been “wog” technology, it is and always has been the direction given by der leader and previously el con, (being totally out of touch with reality) and a total failure to understand how RCo$ Is viewed by the rest of the real world.
He does not trust Gold personnel, what makes him think different people in a different location will work any better?.
As with every “new” thing he has introduced, there will be one result, FAIL!.
How much do you think whales would pony up if it was not tax deductible?
GTBO
You are so right….
Once the USA stops subsidizing this cult, then we will see the end to this misery.
How many Nigerians did it take to supply all that leather for the Dianetics books? Isn’t that illegal even there?
Okay. That was pretty friggin funny. LOL in spite of myself.
Another Miscavige smokescreen. The flock will really be impressed by the new TV station, but the world at large not a bit.
At least they will *pretend* to be impressed. Don’t want to get caught not applauding!
If there’s one thing I really want to succeed, it’s a Scientology television station. Imagine all the unique “entertainment” we might get! Here’s a few ideas to get you started, David:
Survivor: RPF
Sea Org’s Got Talent
Surprise! You’re Getting Sec-checked!
The Rice and Beans Gourmet
Enturbulations (the CoS daytime drama)
COB Staff Beatings Caught on Tape
We’ll probably get something that looks like a public television donation drive on meth, but there’s entertainment value in that too.
Mike W.
Blast you!!!!
I’ve been going over some ideas for future cartoons related to planetary dissemination.
You stole my thunder!!!
Do them anyway!! We LOVE your cartoons!!
Hi Regraded Being… I would love to see a cartoon about a 12 Step Scientology Anonymous meeting.
That’s funny!
Good Stuff. Mike needs to Disseminate that comment. My sides still hurry. Course, u only came up with’ Look Who’s Disconnecting Now?”
Action/Adventure series:
Thursday at 2: Can YOU make it?
Game show: Who wants to marry Tom Cruise, with your host, David Miscavige.
“GAME SHOW: Who wants to marry Tom Cruise, with your host, David Miscavige.”
The other entry considerations for the network lineup were great. But that, that was good. That’s definitely up there with
Survivor: RPF.
Lets keep em coming. Seriously, M. Mouse could probably use some ‘ objective’ ideas. You guys are da best
The don’t say anything about having FCC approval for broadcast. I bet these will be podcasts and u tube videos.
Ever since Anon handed them their asses on YouTube, they’ve stayed away from there. They know what will happen if they try to go there again. Within a half hour of upload, the first Anon counter-video will be up. Within the first two hours, the first parody videos will be up. And all of them will have over 9000 times the views of their video within the first day.
YouTube videos for the cult would be pure suicide.
I bet they go the bat-s**t crazy style of Glenn Beck and do a pay for view internet tv/radio station (subscription based of course to keep milking the masses). Hopefully it will be as much of a dismal failure as GlennTV…
One of L. Fraud Flunk-Out’s biggest conceits (and there were oh, so many) was that people actually want Scientology. You know, all that stuff about people getting up in arms when they’re denied Scientology. His dictatorial mindset showed when he said that people want “Ron’s brand of Scientology”. Well, for better or worse, what the cult is providing is “Ron’s brand of Scientology”, regardless of whatever squirreling Let Him Die has promulgated over the years.
(I’ll pause here to let the Indies throw the nearest heavy object against the nearest wall. Sorry, folks, but it’s the truth among the unaware. We know better, but they don’t.)
Well, given the influx of raw meat into the cult and the abundant success of the now-thoroughly-discredited body routing, it’s quite apparent that no one wants Ron’s brand of Scientology. And no one ever will again, not after Going Clear. So Planetary Dissemination will fall on deaf ears, making this particular grab for moolah even more wasteful and evil than Idle Morgues.
What kind of programming will they produce? They can’t start up The Scientology Channel and hope to get it on cable networks (especially Time-Warner). Their only hope is Sunday at 4AM filler right alongside the other infomercials, except that stations won’t want to buy anything branded as Scientology. They might, just might, get their programming on stations in the Tampa Bay area and Los Angeles, but that’s it. Their only hope is Craigslist-style deceit, simply not telling the audience that it’s Scientology until it’s too late. Just another demonstration from The Most Ethical People On The Planet.
Why bother with all of this? They’ve got a better business model thanks to Bulawayo Ideal Whorehouse. Planetary Insemination will bring more people in than Planetary Dissemination.
This is such a classic C of S move. Their uptake of technology and trends run about 10-15 years behind the aberrated people of Earth.

http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/streaming-overtakes-live-tv-among-consumer-viewing-preferences-study-1201477318/
“U.S. consumers are more inclined to stream entertainment from an Internet service than tune in to live TV, according to the results of a new survey from consulting firm Deloitte.
Video-streaming services such as Netflix, which are now used by more than 42% of American households, have overtaken live programming as the viewing method of choice, Deloitte’s study found. About 56% of those surveyed now stream movies and 53% stream TV shows on a monthly basis, as compared with 45% of those who prefer to watch TV programs live.”
Whoever sold them a broadcasting station is laughing all the way to the bank.
Great point. I’m surprised they’re not bragging about broadcasting in high quality UHF.
Coming soon!! Co$ Beta Tape Machines!
Actually, HDTV is transmitted on UHF frequencies, so it is “high quality UHF”.
Coming soon – exciting news…

Not only that, but they’re boasting about forthcoming radio programming–in an age of satellite radio, streaming services, podcasts, etc.
Scientology’s core membership skews old; they’re in that demographic that still listens to radio. But if they want to reach younger people–especially those with money (or at least high earning potential), they’ve completely missed the boat.
Someone should Telex them, mentioning that fact…
Yes, radio! Everyone’s listening to it, don’t you know. Just the thing. Frankly, I’m salivating at the thought of a Miscavology radio program.
I also can’t wait for a Scientology reality show, ala “Keeping Up With Cardones” – you get the idea.
Or, they could all be part of just one Church of Scientology Reality Show: “The Real Whales of Los Angeles”. (Ok, ok, so I didn’t give that much thought. Please feel free to do much better 🙂
What I want to know is: Are they going to run Dianetics book ads during their commercial breaks?
Well, when could we learnthe special edition MKVIII prine? It’s missing on each ad trying to sell these. A past similar scam meter was priced 25000. I Wonder to see how the meter is sold: I’d bet the special meter is billed say 5500$ a piece, then another billis done for “donation”, so as to avoid paying taxeson the whole.
Good thought, except that in the US, there’s no VAT, and the IRS deal makes the “donation” for the Easy-Bake Eight tax deductible on the purchaser’s part.
Sales tax depends on the state or local jurisdiction in America. And, unlike VAT, it is added on at the time of he purchase. In CA, that would be 540$ on a meter valued @ 6K$.
They’re $15,000 and you can write off $9,000 of that as a donation.
