With two specials in 3 days, scientology has been working overtime on concocting smears about the show contributors. Of course, they NEVER respond to anything the people say, never dispute the abuses or the lies exposed by any of the contributors or on the show in general. They just sling mud. They have nothing they CAN dispute, so their only avenue is to try to "discredit the source"... Let's take their smears in sequence. Tony Ortega Of course Tony has long been a target of the scientology smear brigade. But they have nothing new so they roll out their moldy old … [Read more...]

Harvey Weinstein & Scientology – Separated at Birth?
This New Yorker article is an extremely detailed and well-documented peek behind the curtain of a dirtbag with a lot of money hiring big-name, reputable lawyers and private investigators to conduct a concerted campaign to intimidate and silence victims of and witnesses to his abuse. Scientology has been doing this for years. Decades actually. They wrote the book, literally, on this sort of intimidation tactics. Everyone else is a pretender to the throne of corrupt power abusing the less powerful with impunity. The big difference between Harvey Weinstein and scientology is the money s … [Read more...]
London “Ideal” Org – Still Failing After All These Years
Twelve years after becoming "Ideal" and combining two orgs into one (London and CC London) London is STILL not SH Size. The building IS magnificent. And they have a separate Test Center on an enormously busy street (the former London Org premises). If you took all the times they have announced their "highest ever expansion" and "bigger," "better" and "faster" over those years it would be more words than are found in DMSMH. But nobody seems to notice that despite them claiming all this incredible expansion they have not even achieved the "make-break point" of an org. St Hill size. L. Ron … [Read more...]
Promotion in Scientology, “Outflow Equals Inflow”
It's SaTerraDay again. Promotion in Scientology, “Outflow Equals Inflow” One of the pillars of “stable data” drilled into every Scientology staff member is: Outflow equals inflow. Leave it to the church to completely misinterpret and misapply this simple phrase. Terra Math First off, outflow does not equal inflow. Outflow equals outflow, and inflow equals inflow. The two aren’t identical. We might say, the former leads to the latter. Or that intelligent outflow of energy and production by individuals may result in a similar volume of inflow. But not necessarily; lots of factors … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
OT 7 Objectives completion How sad that he still has so much charge after spending hundreds of thousands to get to OT VII, and now he is finding the solution on an objective co-audit. Do Your Ideal Org Status We need some "bigness" here, big checks that is. This vernacular of "do your status" is really weird. Let me guess... All of the psychotic madmen who shoot dozens of people are insane. And thus they were seeing psychiatrists? And/or were on psych drugs... Of course, scientology refuses to deal with such people. But can you imagine if an OT 7 … [Read more...]
Amsterdam Ribbon Yank
This weekend, appropriate for the Halloween season, Captain Miscavige performed a ribbon yanking ceremony on his latest haunted house. In a nation with just a small handful of active scientologists, he presided over an intimate gathering to officially open this 79,000 sq ft monster. Every scientologist in the country can have their own room in this place. Even their official website photo only claims 1300 attendees and with wide angle lenses and every other trick they know they still cannot make it look even passingly impressive... And this is with 7 chartered planes worth of people … [Read more...]
Aftermath The Business of Religion Special: The Aftermath
Scientology's usual response to each episode of The Aftermath appeared on their hate site before the show had even finished airing. They focused their attention on Mat Pesch and Jeffrey Augustine. They KNOW they cannot make the same sort of insane rants about Luis Garcia or Ted Babbitt because they will present it before the Judge in their case. So, they stay mum and pretend they did not appear on the show. How embarrassing it would be to have a judge read their drivel. But Mat and Jeffrey of course got the full "scientology treatment." Mat of course is the "unvetted Mat … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Massive International Expansion… cough, cough
First things first, the blog... Nathan Rich provided a layman’s explanation of what happened to the blog over the weekend – I asked him to make it so even I could understand it: Here's how it works and what the evidence is. If you have a computer you can make it do stuff, like host a website -- but then you have people who need access to those websites. But you don't want them to have access to your system, because you're the owner, not them. There's different ways to handle this. The normal way smaller hosting services do it is by using “jails” -- they set up many sort of "sub-en … [Read more...]
Everything Takes Longer….
Saturday, time for Terra Cognita! Everything Takes Longer in Scientology Scientologists may be cause over Matter, Energy, and Space. But “Time?” I think that ability must be addressed on OT 11. I would be generous in stating that all targets set by the church take twice as long as they say they will. If management sets a target of ten hours...double, triple, or quadruple this number. If the Director of Processing or Director of Training says an auditing or training action will take eight weeks...change the word “weeks” to “months.” If church leader, David Miscavige—master of prevarication … [Read more...]
The STAAD League Boycott
The Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAAD) League has been playing the victim card for a while now and have come up with a new tactic of orchestrating a letter writing campaign to advertisers on The Aftermath. You may recall their earlier "victory" of claiming to get copies of People magazine removed from the shelves of a Target store because Leah Remini was on the cover. It was a "huge blow for religious freedom" -- even though it almost certainly didn't happen -- but didnt do much for the concept of freedom of speech that scientology spouts as one of their … [Read more...]
