This is a current special edition of National Geographic about Secret Societies and Cults. It's broken into 3 parts. The "Modern Era" (part 3) includes: The Italian Mafia Skull and Bones The Chinese Triads Opus Dei The Priory of Sion The Red Brigades & Red Army Faction Scientology The Knights of Malta There is a 4 page spread on scientology -- two are full page photos. It mentions The Aftermath -- I have highlighted it. They have some minor things wrong, but generally it is very negative and indicates what terrible PR scientology has these … [Read more...]

Scientology Continues to Fail in Australia’s Capital
The "ideal org" charade goes on and on and on. Surely someone needs to get some control over their promotional items. This one says everything that needs to be said about scientology "expansion." They have invested millions for a building and they have 7 staff . This is not even a Dianetics Counseling Group, let alone a Mission. Remember when they used to promote the upcoming ideal orgs with shots of dozens of staff waving on the steps -- Valley and Tampa and London etc. All those orgs are dead as doornails despite having much larger fields (I would guess the size of the Central f … [Read more...]
Paris Ideal Org Is Also Happening
It's not just Chicago that is really happening for real this time no joke. Paris is opening in January (coinciding with hell freezing over...) The hype has begun. But their preparations are just a few years behind... They are apparently now starting their "Files Project" (which you will see they promote as a "unique project"??) and they are trying to recruit people from outside the country to come and do it. Like every org since the beginning of orgs, they cannot keep the ridiculous amounts of filing required by Hubbard's "advanced management technology" current. And when required to … [Read more...]
Chicago’s “LAST Big Recruitment Event”
Everything is "GO" in Chicago. Not. They send out the weirdest messages... Last week they were telling everyone they had to go to LA for the New Year's event -- so they can cheer and wave banners when Miscavige, for the second year running, announces Chicago ideal org is "going to open." Now they are demanding everyone attend this briefing to hear someone "direct from Dominica." Is this like "Straight Outa Compton"? AND 2 "incredible speakers" who shall remain anonymous because they are just not known by anyone's at all. Then there are the "fly in prospects" because they don't … [Read more...]
The LRH Hall/New Flag AO Are Coming… For Sure. Promise.
They have been fundraising for the "LRH Hall" for decades -- it's a white elephant project that is simply a sinkhole for money to show they are "spending on charitable activities." It is a completely unnecessary project, they can't even fill Ruth Eckerd Hall for their events these days. Of course, they haven't even STARTED the building. No surprise, once they actually begin, their income will go down. Remember how long they dragged out the SP (Super Power) Building -- Miscavige held the "groundbreaking" ceremony in 1998. Then dragged out the start of the building project for years and … [Read more...]
Panic Before the Scientology New Year’s Event
David Miscavige is back for the big "New Year" bash at the Shrine Auditorium in LA next Saturday (Dec 16th -- they do everything differently in scientology). It seems, that in the "Scientology capital of the world" they are worried they cannot scrape together enough scientologists to fill the auditorium. It only holds 6300 -- and yet they are going to extraordinary lengths to bring in out of towners to make sure they at least the lower level of the Shrine. Chicago can't get 100 people to a local event, let alone shipping them off to LA. But the pitch -- from CO FSSO less -- "we a … [Read more...]
New Leah & Mike Video: Scientology’s Fair Game Poster Child Caught Trying to Frame Leah
Kendrick (Rick) Moxon is an OT VIII scientologist and an “in-house” lawyer for scientology who maintains an office within the Office of Special Affairs International on the 10th floor of the HGB. He has been an operative carrying out scientology Fair Game activities since the mid-1970's, and continues to this day. His wife (Carla) is a prominent scientologist. His children are/were SO members. Here is just a brief summary of what Rick Moxon has been involved in. The relentless and unchanging nature of scientology's efforts to harass and destroy those it perceives as ene … [Read more...]
The Massive International Co-audit
If you listen to David Miscavige, the expansion of scientology is "unprecedented," "monumental" and apparently knows no bounds. If you visit a scientology organization anywhere on earth you will see with your own eyes the empty buildings that show scientology is smaller and less popular than it has EVER been. If you watch the scientology utterances on social media and sent to their mailing lists, you get to see not just individual orgs, but a glimpse of the bigger picture. And that is what this latest document represents. This is a worldwide aggregation of people on co-audits now, … [Read more...]
Scientology: The Big Lie
Mitch Brisker, former film, video and ad director for David Miscavige has written a book which is available today. I highly recommend it. I summed up my thoughts about it in a blurb I wrote for the book cover: The improbable, yet astonishingly real story of a young artist drawn into a cult at a moment of vulnerability who, as an “outsider” is brought into its highly secretive, innermost sanctum. Mitch Brisker’s perspective is unique, powerful and insightful. His eye for detail and meaning, and his ability to explain and communicate concepts to an audience as a talented filmm … [Read more...]
Tampa Bay Magazine: Scientology Edition
This month's edition of Tampa Bay is evidence of how hard scientology is still working to "safepoint" the Clearwater community. There is a concurrently published YouTube video on this subject: Tampa Bay magazine is typical of this sort of publication you find in many major cities -- it's glossy pages feature full page ads for the restaurants they review, ads from realtors for the homes they highlight, ads from lawyers who write columns in the magazine and a bunch of "social" shots of the local luminaries attending events in the area. There is no real reporting, it's all puff … [Read more...]
