Everyone familiar with scientology knows there are two things that really get their hackles up. Saying something they consider unkind about Tom Cruise, or saying something mean about David Miscavige. It does not matter whether what is said is true, if it casts either of them in a bad light, the STAND Minions are activated to come out with pencils blazing, firing off volleys of accusations of bigotry and hate. Martha Ross wrote an article about Tom Cruise in the San Jose Mercury News. Here is some of what she said that so incensed the Standbots: While the move was widely a … [Read more...]

Bob Duggan — Still Very Much the Scientologist
The latest edition of the L. Ron Hubbard Hall fundraising propaganda contains a two page spread on Bob Duggan. If you wade your way through the bullshit and spelling and grammar errors, you get to the most incredible statement anyone has ever made about this ridiculous hall. Comparing it to the Taj Mahal and Versailles Palace is the height of foolishness. This theater is planned as a small auditorium (if it ever gets built) -- there are probably 200 of this size around the US, almost every major college and certainly every major city has one. Even Clearwater itself has Ruth … [Read more...]
The Failed Scientology Mission Network
The Mission network, once the front line of scientology dissemination, is a broken down, tiny shadow of its former self. Back in the bad old days, Missions were large, prosperous and brought in the majority of new people to scientology. In his infinite wisdom (really his growing paranoia), L. Ron Hubbard decided the Missions were seeking to rip off "his" orgs. They were "stealing" public and making too much money, so the infamous Mission Holder Convention of October 1982 in San Francisco was the beginning of the end. Some think this was all the work of Miscavige. They would be incorrect. … [Read more...]
Episode 47: The Life and Lies of L. Ron Hubbard Part 2
We continue with our deep dive into the life and lies of Hubbard with Jon Atack. Once again, we have quite a lot of documents to include -- but always at the top of the list are Jon's Let's Sell These People A Piece of Blue Sky and Barefaced Messiah by Russell Miller. I should also note that though we didnt mention it, for those of you interested in what Hubbard did or didnt do in the war, Chris Owen's excellent and thoroughly researched Ron The War Hero: The True Story of L Ron Hubbard's Calamitous Military Career is essential reading. Hubbard told so many lies about his naval his … [Read more...]
Scientology Running In Circles. Literally
The "Cause Resurgence" Rundown is one of the greatest boondoggles scientology has ever foisted off as a "standard tech" "religious" service. The Running Program, as it was originally called, was used to punish crew at Golden Era who were, in the estimation of Miscavige, performing poorly. "Run around a pole until you get your shit together." The first person to do it was David Mayo, when he had been declared a terrible squirrel. Hubbard ordered him to run around a tree at Gold "until he wore a trench in the ground". He did so for weeks on end until he was physically spent. He escaped … [Read more...]
How Long Will They Try To Milk This?
They are still being "inspired" by their PR response to the pandemic? "Events are held daily".... meaning they put this on a video screen somewhere and if there is anyone who happens to be sitting around in the vicinity they count it as an "event." Everything scientology did to respond to COVID 19 was simply for photo and video ops -- and months after the fact they continue to try to beat the last whimpers out of this dead horse. It's only because they have nothing else to present as there is nothing happening in the world of scientology. The pandemic has proven there are only two things … [Read more...]
The “New” OEC — The Latest Wrong Reason Orgs Aren’t Expanding
Miscavige is finally rolling out the "new" OEC. This is the next "big thing" that is now going to guarantee his "ideal orgs" actually expand. It will be announced with great fanfare that Miscavige has "discovered" a new "why" for orgs not making it to St Hill Size. The "new" OEC will be presented by him as his brilliant solution. Just like the "ideal orgs" was a "solution" to the same problem almost 20 years ago "because they could not perform all the functions of an org" (supposedly because they didn't have enough room) and like an auditing session couldn't be delivered without an auditing … [Read more...]

Jeffrey has a website where he documents his investigations, it is an incredible resource: The Scientology Money Project He also does the Surviving Scientology Radio … [Read more...]
Atlanta: 10X x 0 = 0X
You probably remember when the poster above was being used everywhere. Miscavige flew into Atlanta and yanked his ribbon there in July 2016. Nearly 5 years ago. According to Hubbard, within a few weeks it should have been St. Hill size and then continued to expand exponentially from there. They have had more than plenty of time to accomplish their "10X expansion across their zone." Of course, when you are a zero to begin with, 10X is still zero and that is what you see in Atlanta. In fact, all of Georgia. And Mississippi and South Carolina. Not even a mission anywhere in sight. … [Read more...]
Chicago has 2 Pallets of Dead PC Folders
Chicago is on the runway for a Miscavige Ribbon Yanking ceremony. Woohoo.... But of course, before then they have to get their mountains of backlogged filing in order. They've got something I have never heard of before. Pallets of "Deceased PC Folder switch out" to do? 2 pallets worth? That seems like a lot. Guess the aging population of scientologists in Chicago are shuffling off their mortal coils with some regularity. But what is a "switch out" in this context? I have no idea? Are they making new folders for the dead people? Why? Once again, this highlights the unworkability of … [Read more...]
