This is the next installment of the RPF Insider documents contained in the FBI files release. See Part 1. Our old friend Chuck Beatty added some helpful information in a comment on the first post which I include below: I’m not sure if RPF Insider ever was outed. I was in phone contact with him as he posted his series back when it posted. Telling the details in his postings is excellent. The framework, him being not actually in the RPF, but was out, and was posting like he was in it, just to goad Miscavige, was his call. (Theoretically he could have been, example, before I was gone g … [Read more...]

Chicago Ideal Org Fail
The "ideal org" strategy is so far off the rails it doesn't even resemble the original crazy plan when Miscavige announced it in the early 2000's. He proclaimed that orgs required large enough buildings to be able to deliver "all the services", including a Public Divisions space large enough to accommodate what I called his FART program (Fully Automated Robot TV) whereby staff would be replaced by videos to "explain scientology). I laid this out in some detail in a posting from 2015 entitled What Is The Ideal Org Program? Originally, OT Committees were supposed to raise the … [Read more...]
Free Quarantine
Yes, come to Flag and you will still be forced to quarantine. But it’s sort of free -- and in the scientology world, that is a really big deal. They never give ANYTHING away for free. The catch here is that you have to buy their food. Because, of course, if you are quarantined you can’t go out of the building. And you can’t order food from outside to be delivered. So, you can get one of their $20 room service burgers… Can you believe they are still requiring everyone to quarantine? The US doesn't even require a negative test to fly into the country any more. Just another indication of the pa … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Be kind, be decent... Yeah, the guiding principles of scientology. Not AOSH Africa taking over the world One country that is actually their zone, everywhere else they are poaching other AO's territory! And who the hell is this guy -- he is from Albania? Why is he promoting AOSH Africa and not AOSHEU? Oh boy... Columbus is almost the BEST org in all of EUS? And the real scoop on this Sea Org manned org is that it is a complete morgue -- listen to the podcast Chris Shelton did recently with the SO member who The Aftermath Foundation helped … [Read more...]
Want to be a Sea Org Parent?
Thanks to Christi Gordon for uncovering some new documents that have not seen the light of day before. This one is a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of the Sea Org with respect to children. The basic gist of this issue from 1982 is this. Sea Org members are supposed to produce 5X what it costs to retain them Babies produce no monetary exchange to the Sea Org Babies cost the Sea Org at least $3000 a year To be able to keep a child in the Sea Org you have to prove that you are providing more than adequate exchange for yourself AND for your child(ren) otherwise you are not … [Read more...]
Brian Sheen Anniversary
This is a post sent to me a couple of days ago by my old friend Brian Sheen. I was out of town and could not get it up on the blog, but the message remains the same. Today is the 45 birthday of my daughter, Springsong Tawna Sheen, now Atkinson-Baker. However, instead of celebrating the miracle of her birth, I am mourning the horror of her death. Spring has been missing from my life for 7 years now and I have not heard from her once. Legally, after 7 years, a person who disappears and is not heard from, is legally declared dead. I painstakingly have been forced to accept this reality; may she … [Read more...]
Maiden “Voyage”?
We recently saw how the May 9th celebration has been turned into a mention at graduation in local orgs. It used to be an "international event" held at the Shrine Auditorium. Now apparently the "Maiden Voyage" is being "celebrated" as a "Taking it to New Heights" (Lows?) "festival" at CC Int. One has to wonder whether the paranoia of Miscavige is dictating how everything is being conducted in scientology? Is there really not going to be a "Maiden Voyage" again this year? If it's not the fear of COVID dictating events, it's probably the fear of being served in lawsuits that is driving his … [Read more...]
Elisabeth Moss: Scientology PR 101
The recent New Yorker article piece by Michael Shulman has resulted in a ton of media pickups, mostly focused on her responses to questions about scientology. There have been a number of takes on this of interest: Martha Ross wrote an excellent piece in the SJ Mercury News Martha quotes journalist Yashar Ali who tweeted: And Tony Ortega added some thoughts from Geoff Levin who was extensively interviewed for the story, but little of it made it into print: Now, let me add some of my thoughts, as it was my job back in the day to … [Read more...]
Premature Ejaculation in Clearwater
I included an item in last week's Thursday Funnies about a new "hang out" coming to Clearwater. I am not sure who had put this on Facebook as the posting was forwarded to me and I have no way of tracing it back... It certainly made it sound as if the Prelude Coffee and Tea bar was a happening thing. The excitement was barely contained in the posting. This is the thing everyone has been wiating for in downtown Cleqarwater, finally being made a reality... Not so fast. Here is what this property actually looks like -- photos taken Friday: Apparently the idea of … [Read more...]
New Human Trafficking Lawsuit
You have probably seen by now the news that 3 former children of the Sea Org filed a lawsuit today. Tracey McManus article in the Tampa Bay Times. Ben Schneiders article in the Sydney Morning Herald This is a copy of the filed Complaint Three powerful law firms are bringing this case, all have experience in big, hard-fought litigation. The complaint goes into extensive detail about what happened to these victims, and also how scientology is organized and operated. The allegations are horrendous -- but are not new and similar things have been stated by many others. … [Read more...]
