Karin Pinocchio Pouw -- the woman behind the curtain that is the name affixed to the public statements of the man behind the woman behind the curtain, David Miscavige -- has stepped in it once again. Responding to reporter Dana Kennedy in a piece published this morning in the Hollywood Reporter, Pouw/Miscavige once again assert that disconnection does not exist, it is merely a "personal choice." Here is a passage from the article: Karin Pouw, a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology, tellsTHR that there is no such policy of disconnection. "While none of this is a comment about … [Read more...]
Liar, Liar Your Pants Are On Fire
Does KoolAid completely eradicate all memories? Or simply suppress the inclination to ever question contrary facts and lies if they come from He Who Is Infallible? You will probably recall that a few weeks ago, the Silver Anniversary Maiden Voyage was cancelled. Instead there was a special summer event. It was VITALLY important. Promoted heavily for weeks. It turned out to be a "ONE TIME ONLY" showing of what has now been called "The Turning Point" -- the greatest single moment of self-congratulation in a career of patting Himself on the back that is an embarrassment of riches -- the 1993 … [Read more...]
Flag OTC Minutes — “News” From Inside The Bubble
Here is the latest self-hyping propaganda from the "OT Ambassadors" inside the bubble. It is the minutes from their last meeting. Mathilde, Public Sec FSO spoke about the importance of "getting ready." She said that she knows we've been hearing about it at graduations, but wanted us to realize just how close it is, announcing that the New Flag Building will be opened sometime in September, followed by the IAS Event here at Flag in October. She said that as soon as precise dates are known, she will let us know. Mathilde said that now is the time to get everyone on board here in Clear … [Read more...]
Scientology Responds To Paul Haggis — Sort Of
The Hollywood Reporter published an open letter written by Paul Haggis this morning. In typical Haggis style, he zero'd in on the crux of the matter and showed himself once again to be a man of principle and dignity who clearly articulates his calm and well reasoned points. Of course, Karin (David Miscavige) Pouw just HAD to respond. In a page out of their normal "attack the attacker" playbook, they launched an illogical, poorly composed ad hominem assault on Paul Haggis. It does not respond to a SINGLE POINT of his Open Letter. It is so ridiculous that I am reprinting it here in full. Th … [Read more...]

Voldemort Update 26 July
The hype seems to be slowing down, the gushing praise for Him seems to be subsiding and the insanity of what is "news" seems to be reaching lower levels as each week goes by... Here is last night’s report: IAS Event at Flag: The preparations for the IAS event are well underway. The mega tent is on the way to the US by ship, and due to arrive in 3 weeks to Miami. It will be transported to CW, and then placed between the parking garage and Fort Harrison Avenue. Dave noted that it will be visible to all tourists who are going to the beach, so they will notice the presence of Scientology in the c … [Read more...]
Brainwashing — The Proof
The Corporate Church of Scientology is going all out to attempt damage control internally on the withering blasts that have been exposing some of the nasty, not to be spoken about underbelly of life in corporate Scientology. We see the media "handling" of claiming its all just lies made up by a couple of "self-promoting bloggers on the fringe of the internet" or a "small handful of bitter, defrocked apostates", but where the real panic is occurring is in trying to keep the faithful on board. The Ethics Officers are working overtime, but Miscavige's personal troops, the "OT Ambassadors" are … [Read more...]
Voldemort 19 July Updated
Here is the update from Graduation last nite. Absolutely without question the most spectacular event in the history of Scientology..... (until the next time Dear Leader takes the stage). He saved the showing of the 1993 IAS event so He could introduce it and He could make a pitch for the IAS. He is, after all, Founder of the IAS, a title that cannot be disputed as L. Ron Hubbard had nothing to do with the IAS. Stealing a phrase from Mel Brooks History of the World Part I "It's good to be the Founder".... He started the evening off with some really impressive stats: - 23 Cornerstone … [Read more...]
Let The Sliming Begin
The Dark Side of the Radical Church of Scientology is revealing itself piece by piece. Today, sort-of-celebrity Stacy Francis took a cheap shot at Nicole Remini after she spoke up in support of her sister. And with that the sliming of Nicole has begun. In a non-sequitur, offensive tweet, Francis put on display the level of hatred the church of Miscavige expects from those seeking to prove themselves “on the team.” One is supposed to "take off the gloves" when someone has been labeled “fair game” (meaning “connected to someone who is no longer toeing the party line). Francis decided that thr … [Read more...]
Pinocchio Pouw “Speaks” UPDATED
Miscavige and his pinocchio sockpuppet letter signer, Karin Pouw, are getting closer and closer to calling Leah Remini a liar. Their latest effort at damage control is reported in the NY Post: “We won't dignify the myths, radio gossip, rumors and off-the-wall tabloid tales that have their origins with self-promoting bloggers living on the fringe of the Internet.” Pouw also emphasized, “We would appreciate if you run this verbatim.” The carefully selected words and structure of the sentence is classic Miscavige. Though thinly veiled, this is not literally a frontal assault on Leah. It blame … [Read more...]
