Could not resist the title. Just a laugh on a Sunday morning to accompany Tony Ortega's now highly anticipated "Sunday Funnies". This latest casting call would indicate they have not yet shot the needed footage for the release of the New (old) Mark Sooper 8 e-meter. Cannot imagine what else they would need a (hairless) hand model for. And as usual, at the last minute there is a frantic request for a shot the following day in Hemet. Typical RCS "planning."

Jobur Ideal Org and GAG II
Maybe the release of GAG II is going to solve the spelling/typo problems that seem to be endemic within the RCS. The old saying about not even being able to spell your own name right seems to be true, at least in the Ideal, SH Size org that is at the very dawn of a new civilization. Speaking of GAG II, the big announcement has now been made, and just in time to save the planet: GAG II is Friday 15 November through Sunday 17 November (gotta have some quality time to do this one right and hard sell all those meters and materials....) The IAS Event is Friday 29 November and the Patron's Ball … [Read more...]
A=A=A = Corporate Scientology
I assume "If you want to be OT, do the Basics" is a Miscavige Quote (R) they are using for the headline of their Success Stories these days? I guess He has a right to do that as he invented the term "The Basics." Though I suspect most readers will assume it is an LRH quote. I wonder when the PDC became part of "The Basics"? And when they started dressing people up as witches for their success stories? This was sent to me by someone and I believe them it is real. But you have to wonder if this isn't someone making fun of them. And if this guy is so good at curing his physical ailments w … [Read more...]
Too Little Too Late
The disasters just keep on rolling. These three emails came in this morning. Larry, Moe and Curly Joe couldn't make this more slapstick.... First, after years in the "planning" SMI is sending out an URGENT email that must be answered TODAY to give information about delivering "GAG II." Wonder what happens to the Missions that DONT have trained C/Ses, Co-Audit Sups and Auditors (ie practically every "Mission" listed on Scientology.org)? With GAG II "imminent" this is like asking at the altar whether your bride is a virgin. It's a bit late for that sort of "Oh, I forgot to check...." The … [Read more...]
Fact v. Fiction: A Tale of Two Websites
I don't normally follow statistics concerning this blog, as I am not trying to generate ad revenue (there are no ads:)). I provide this forum as a public service that I hope gets out information that might otherwise not see the light of day from within the bowels of the bubble. But the irrepressible Karen De La Carriere sent this to me yesterday and called me up and told me it was good news that people should know. I felt it was worth noting, not to beat my own drum, but to give hope to those of you who await the day when you may be reunited with friends or family who have been victim of the … [Read more...]
Status, Status and More Status
They are at it again. MEGA status is the latest term to enter the Scientology dictionary -- you know the dictionaries that Voldemort announced in 2001 (or maybe before?) that are STILL not complete and released. This now joins the other coined terms of late in the world of the RCS: Humanitarian -- someone who went into debt to give money to buy MEST for those not in need Command Intention -- whatever Voldemort wants or is thought to want Department 21 -- David Miscavige Training -- buying The Basics and Lectures OT -- Objectives Co-audit There are of course many more and I am sure a … [Read more...]
Attempted Damage Control
With Voldemort still playing hide the ball on the "Grand Opening"/GAG II/Super Power/IAS events, the damage control scrambling is full force. This email is an attempt to make everything seem "normal" (or at least as normal as it can be inside a bubble of babble). Two weeks in a row the promise of "we are announcing the date at the next graduation" has passed with no announcement. But continued dead silence only aggravates the problem. So yesterday Lauri Webster sends out an email trying to take everyone's attention off the elephant in the room and get them thinking instead about what … [Read more...]
Voldemort’s a No Show, His Tent is Too Big and His PI’s Are Religious Crusaders
Once again, Voldemort was a no-show at Graduation last night. Of course, the blind being led by the blindest explain this away with "He is so busy working to get everything right. You know how important this is and it has to be right because this is critical to the agonized future of every man, woman and child in this sector of the universe..." Perfection is the hallmark of "COB" -- so is never completing anything because it's not yet "perfect." But while the hypnotized and marching in lockstep, there are rumblings from an increasing number who are seeing this for what it really is -- an … [Read more...]
Pasadena “Ideal Org” Is Empty — Photo Evidence
A report from two Special Correspondents about the goings-on [or lack thereof] at the Pasadena "Ideal Org" with pix. Mad Hatter Studios called the OT Committee into the Pasadena "Ideal" Org for a shoot to "prove" the Org was booming. Well, Cheshire Cat Studios decided we needed to see for ourselves. We posted in the pub across the alley from the Org at 5:50PM on a Friday evening to catch the public leaving after course. Then had a leisurely dinner with a glass of wine as we waited for the 7:00 rush. It was an interesting wait. We could see clearly down the corridor that runs between th … [Read more...]
Blessed by Lord Voldemort
"We want to be done with this project by the end of the year, the reason being that this is what we were asked to do and the project has a LOT of attention from high up, if you know what I mean? I consider it an honor to be asked to help on this project, that someone trusts me enough to work on it." Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2013 From: PAC OTC <[email protected]>Subject: Like helping? Hi team, I need some help. And I hope my friends (that means you) can help me. As you know if you were at the last Pac OTC meeting, Andrea Kluge and I have swapped positions on the Event Center project we have … [Read more...]
