While I am trying to catch back up, I once again recommend everyone read Tony Ortega's interview with Leah's sister today. GREAT reporting and a lot of fascinating insight.... Thanks Tony. And thanks Nicole. Wish I had a sister like you! … [Read more...]
Shelly Miscavige Why She Stays
Tony Ortega continues on a roll of excellent reporting on the Leah Remini story, and again this morning has another very worthwhile piece. Whatever you may think of his personal views of Scientology (which after all, he IS entitled to), you have to admire his courage, his persistence and the network of sources he has built up over many years who feel he is a safe and reliable outlet for their information. He also writes clearly and well and takes the time to explain and include information to make understandable what can often be an impossibly arcane and confusing subject to the … [Read more...]
Duck, Cover And Hold
See the story on Tony Ortega's blog Brian Culkin Hires Ray Jeffrey, Blasts Scientology. It sucks to be Miscavige.... … [Read more...]
Keystone Kops Cancel Most Important Event Ever
Word just in: the handful of people who were planning to show up to the Greatest Event In History tonight in order to participate in the food and babysitting services have been told the event is cancelled. Instead, Graduation starts an hour earlier next week.... I would say Miscavige and His Minions are making the Keystone Kops look like a well-drilled machine. Cancel the Maiden Voyage after promoting it and selling people on attending and replace it with the "Summer OT/IAS" event that is "The Biggest Breakthrough Ever In The History Of Mankind" and then when not enough people confirm -- … [Read more...]
Voldemort Wows ‘Em Again
The report from last night's graduation (12 July) featuring You Know Who: - The special GAT II Objectives have been launched for Cornerstone members in the Fort Harrison Crystal Ballroom, 126 Scientologists are currently on that course. [Paying once again for the privilege of redoing the bottom of the Bridge....] - Speaking of which, Objectives is going to be renamed to something else. He can't tell it what as it would reveal too much. The service will still follow Purif RD on the Bridge and will contain more processes than the current Objectives. No more information will be given at this … [Read more...]
The Church Responds to Leah Remini Stories With Arrogant Hypocrisy
The sh*tstorm surrounding Leah Remini's departure from the church has brought out the best in Scientology media relations. This one obviously called for the Big Guns.... The entirety of the response to stories now running in major (and minor) media around the world reporting on Miscavige abusing people, the church being engaged in "thought" reform through sec checks/Truth Rundown, breaking up families with disconnection and the disappearance of Miscavige's wife Shelly (among other things) is: "The Church respects the privacy of parishioners and has no comment about any individual Church … [Read more...]
Mystery Solved — It’s the T Shirts Stupid
The latest briefing to the Flag OT Committee has revealed the "Something Very Special At The End" of the Super Special "Turning Point" replay of the 20 year old video event -- T-shirts!!! But not just ANY old t-shirts. They are "designed by Giorgio Armani." I posted yesterday about the desperation. This is a whole new level. I don't think anything further need be said: Public Officer FSO, Mathilde briefed us about the event this weekend on Saturday night. She said that this will be the Summer IAS Event like that which is usually held on the Freewinds at Maiden Voyage Anni … [Read more...]
Desperation At Flag
A couple of desperate pleas indicate the Flag ship is taking on water despite the incredible (literally?) news being presented by Him at the Friday Nite Kumbaya Circle. Who ever heard of free food and babysitting being offered to try to entice people to come and see Him speak? Well, it is a rerun of a rerun of a rerun, BUT people should be falling all over themselves to attend, because it IS Him speaking.... Looks like things aren't shaping up too well if they are stooping to giveaways. I remember repeated requests for babysitting services to be provided for events and the public being told … [Read more...]
Leah Remini Has Left The Building
See the story posted this morning on Tony Ortega’s blog Scientology Celebrity Rebellion. I have heard a lot of the same things Ortega reports. The drama surrounding Leah has been ongoing for some time, and in what has become typical Miscavige, he has now turned her into an avowed enemy of his squirreling and heavy-handed efforts to force her into line, including attempts to control her by working over her immediate family. I have known Leah for many years. She is one of the most down-to-earth, honest and truly caring celebrities I came across in Scientology. Funny, endearing and abr … [Read more...]
GAG II
This is a collection of rumors, "news" and "pitches" emanating from Flag.... They are trying to sell GAG II HARD. Also throwing in some "Super Power" and even a mention of OT IX to persuade the high rollers to get busy redoing their Basics, Purif and Objectives. First off, a pitch to attend Graduation. We are starting a competition for how many euphemisms can be thought up to announce His presence at Graduation. This has a few new ones: "you know who" and "the top" and my personal favorite "our main speaker." From: [email protected]: [email protected]: 7/5/2013 3:52:44 P.M. East … [Read more...]
