This really requires no comment. But I increasingly think many Corporate Scientologists do now believe that Miscavige is the reincarnation of LRH. What He says has the same force of command as anything from Hubbard. John P Capitalist sent this to me and also noted that the constant highlighting of the failure to complete Santa Barbara, Mountain View and San Diego (let alone Valley) has got to be a negative message. Surely it is striking people as just a little strange that in this period of massive international expansion, and 10 years into the "Ideal Org Program" that there are … [Read more...]
Miscavige’s Disconnection Dilemma
Now that Leah Remini is officially a Special Person (see Tony Ortega's blog this morning), the big question becomes whether Miscavige is going to attempt to enforce the oft-employed disconnection card with Jennifer Lopez. Everyone knows JLo and Leah are BFFs. They were hanging at JLo's party last nite and featured on the People Mag site (and everywhere else). It is also common knowledge that JLo's father is a Scientologist. So, what is the guy who proclaims to be the enforcer of "standard tech" to do? Would eh dare risk trying to force J Lo to choose between her dad and Leah? She IS after … [Read more...]
Message From A Field Auditor — GAG II is Like Waterloo
One of our Special Correspondents sent in this report: It's all true. Following is an excerpt of a message I received from a Field Auditor. He has one of the biggest field auditing groups in our area. He is OT VIII who remains with the Church because of his family of Kool Aid drinkers. But maybe this will change the scene. "They have revived the Survival RD and the BTB about short grades and said that they really were from LRH. "Everything needs to be redone from Student Hat. You have to do it once and then M4 and then once more. Then Pro Trs because they say Clay Table Processes … [Read more...]
The Warehouse VIII
Here is the first promo for the Warehouse Mark VIII. Funny that something that has sat in a warehouse for 9 years is presented as "the future has arrived"... The over the top claims are as ridiculous as they sound. This is an E-Meter with the cutting-edge technology to take you up the Bridge to Clear and OT with astounding speed and unprecedented certainty. This is why they sat, unreleased, for nearly a decade. Because Miscavige couldnt get an event together where He would be able to SELL ENOUGH. Speed and certainty of auditing played NO role in this. Otherwise they would have been … [Read more...]
Come to The IAS at Flag. Repeat.
Listen to the new voicemail being left by Flag on people's answering machines twice a day. They must be pretty concerned about the turnout for this event as 1100 outer org trainees left Flag. And judging by the dismal turnout for last week's Most. Important. Event. In. All. Universes. Ever. they are going to have to spread out the chairs in the circus tent to make sure there aren't too many empty ones visible. Just in case this audio download doesn't work for some, here is the substance of the message: We are 7 days away til the first time ever celebration of the live IAS anniversary … [Read more...]
Class V Price List (“Donations” When You Want Them Back)
This is a partial list of the new GAG prices for services in a US Class V org. I don't have a recent price list, so don't know how these numbers compare to pre-GAG prices. It appears there has been an effort to simplify things. Probably because Miscavige is convinced there are rip-offs occurring because it is too confusing and there are too many possible discounts and packages. You can be pretty sure that even if these prices appear to be LESS than pre-GAG prices they are in fact MORE than what was ACTUALLY being paid on average in Class V orgs through manipulation of discounts and … [Read more...]
Miscavige’s Golden Age “Ridge On The Bridge”
Captain Miscavige seems to have steered His sinking ship head on into another iceberg. In his clamor to get everyone to pay again to redo everything they have already done, He has blockaded the routes up the Bridge AND finally euthanized any remaining Field Auditors who survived GAT. A Special Correspondent has just sent in this report from a tech terminal in CMO LATAM. Apparently the price changes on training in Mexico are overwhelming. They only discussed training data and all figures here are in US Dollars. The Student Hat currently costs about $200. After the event on Friday, the c … [Read more...]
Scientology — The Art of Cognitive Dissonance
Somewhat random thoughts after returning from an out-of-town trip. Cognitive dissonance has reached an art form within the walls of the RCS bubble. Cognitive dissonance is described this way: Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information … [Read more...]
Günther Völler Writes To Captain Miscavige
To Mr. David Miscavige COB RTC ----------------------------------- Günther Völler Public Scientologist 13 November 2013 My name is Günther Völler. I became a member of the Church of Scientology in 1987 at Bern Org, later at Zurich Org, Switzerland. From the very first moment, I developed an intense interest in reading, studying, learning and applying the teachings of Mr. L. Ron Hubbard. I wanted to go up The Bridge, and I wanted to help others do so as well. Throughout the years, I have taken many courses and … [Read more...]
More Kool Aid Circus Acrobatics and COB “Almost in Tears”
Busy day today, so getting out the latest Special Correspondent report and Facebook Funnies quickly. ATTENDANCE: I'm told that 14,000 people registered for ID cards but that attendance was 9,250. To correct what I said earlier, it sounds like there actually were overflow spaces. A tent in front of the Oak Cove. Auditorium Ballroom. Sandcastle. Osceola. It's also possible they set up all the different locations so that they can give whatever figure they want without anyone being able to know that it was inflated, because any one person only knows how full their own area was. [There … [Read more...]
