Here is the news from last night's Graduation where He once again addressed his adoring fans. Of course, a lot of this could charitably be termed hype -- some is just outright lies. But it was a night of spectacle and verbal fireworks befitting the celebration of Independence Day. Though He announced "every org has their quota of trainees" he is apparently not completely clued in and has been taken off the Hawaii recruitment mailing list. Fasten your seatbelts, and prepare yourselves for this week's ride down the rabbit hole. Sarcastic comments by me in square brackets: - There is a … [Read more...]
Down The Rabbit Hole
This is a glimpse of the distorted, unreal world of illusion where nothing is normal that is the church of Scientology today. As the Mad Hatter has made clear, EVERY org has to have trainees through GAT II before it can be released (and that doesn't seem to be going too well as instead of a GAT II release event there is a special international showing of his 1993 self promotional video, see last post "Miscavige Waving Red Flag") And as he has also stated every Friday, ongoing right now, right here is the largest training program in the history of Scientology: GAT II. 800 trainees are n … [Read more...]
Miscavige Waving A Red Flag
The red flag is flying on Miscavige's eroding sandcastle. This email is a sure "tell" that he is concerned. Concerned about his own PR and concerned about how he has not had a June 6th event and doesn't have a date for the "GAT II" big top extravaganza which is obviously going beyond his announced target of "late July." The natives are getting restless so he figures a good dose of Dear Leader in all his glory will help placate the rumblings of discontent. Miscavige considers this 1993 "War Is Over" event his greatest performance and most significant accomplishment. He has directed it be s … [Read more...]
Tommy Davis and Jessica Feshbach — WTF?
How is it that Tommy Davis and Jessica Feschbach have never stepped out into the sunlight? They left a trail of destruction in their wake and witnessed a lot of things they KNOW hurt people or were just plain wrong. The Tommy/Jessica (Tomica) story is darker than most realize. I wouldn't doubt that if anything keeps David Miscavige up at night it's the thought of Tomica growing a conscience. That's probably right up there with Shelly escaping. Or Heber exposing the abuses he has been subjected to over the last 20 years. A recent article on Tony Ortega’s blog exposed the shore story that ha … [Read more...]
The Hype Is Going Into Hyperdrive!
The PR machine has lifted off, straight up and vertical, in a historic display of amazing adjectives and state-of-the-art hyperbole that is 5 times the level experienced since the Wake Up Call. Then again, and all things previously mentioned pulled together into a cohesive whole, if you thought that was impressive, it was just the launching pad for a planetary assault of verbiage that dwarfs all else that has come before and when I say you cannot imagine the glories of PR puffery that are about to be unleashed I am not talking metaphorically. From: Clive Rabey - D … [Read more...]
Voldemort Friday Update
I am catching up. Just a couple of days behind now. This is the report from last Friday's graduation. Good news everyone -- HE is still here and still doing graduation, much to the excitement of the locals. Wonder if he will stay in town now that his twin has shamed him so? Here are the notes: - there were 247 Student Hat completions this week, which means 803 in the last month [remarkable they constantly tout REDOs -- everyone redoing Student Hat now, because this one is shorter? That makes sense... He even touts REDO's of Ideal Orgs] - the average time to complete the Pro T … [Read more...]
The Sad Story of David Miscavige’s Twin Sister
Joe Childs of the Tampa Bay Times filed a story about Denise Miscavige this evening. You can read it here. Perhaps more than anything, it exposes the hypocrisy of "true believers" who have absolute certainty that they KNOW the answers to all problems in society. The quotes from sworn testimony cited in the article highlight just how unreal this mentality is. I hope this is enough to wake Denise up. And I hope she comes through this OK -- she was the first auditor I ever had in the Sea Org at St Hill in 1973. Her brother (Dave, not Ronnie) is going to rain scorn and hatred upon her for " … [Read more...]
Voldemort Update
This report is a week out of date as I am still trying to catch up with all the emails and tips sent to me during the past week.... While a large concentration of SPs was within a mile, Voldemort snuck into the Auditorium to deliver his latest "come-on" for the miraculous divine revelation that is to be "GAT II". He was so worried about all the SP's around possibly enturbulating his Super Powerful OTness that he hired off duty police to guard the buildings for days before, through and for days after the wedding. Along with the CWPD Officers were additional PI's and Flag Security who were a … [Read more...]
OT IX & X Promises, Promises….
A blast from the past. This is taken from a Source Mag sent out in late 1984. It serves to highlight the fact that the carrot is always dangled out ahead, and if the carrot gets too old and moldy, it is replaced by a new one. The goalposts are forever shifting. New OT VIII and IX being released on the "new ship" soon became just "OT VIII." Then it was OT IX and X packaged together as the new carrot and the requirement has changed over time. First it was "enough OT VIII completions", then it was 10,000 on Solo NOTs, then it was "All orgs SH Size" and now it's "All orgs Ideal." None … [Read more...]
Some WISE PR Advice
Perhaps David Miscavige should listen to the advice his underlings are trying to sell. "If there are negative opinions, determine whether they are valid. "If they are valid, get working on correcting those problems. "Make sure your public knows that the problems are being or have been addressed." The arrogance of Miscavige and the church he has built in his image is such that he cannot admit to ANYTHING WRONG EVER. It is almost the hallmark of the Corporate Scientologist -- if anyone points out something wrong THEY are targeted. The mantras are many: "They have overts," "It's just natter," … [Read more...]
