There has been enormous effort expended to prevent "leaks" from Graduation so the morning after dose of bs has been curtailed at all costs. But the Scientology "grapevine" cannot control itself when there is such amazing, astonishing good news coming straight from the horse's mouth. It is however, sort of ironic that the massively, incredibly good news about how the planet is being saved at light speed isn't suitable for anyone outside of Flag to know. Maybe this is just another "marketing gimmick" to make people come to Flag -- you cannot know about anything anywhere else in the world? Or … [Read more...]
The Wheels Have Come Off
Thanks to all who expressed their support for the Garcia's and the first victory in their federal lawsuit in Tampa. They were much appreciated. It is a long road to travel to ever exact any measure of justice out of the RCS, but the ruling of Judge Whittemore set the tone for the journeyahead. If I was one of the church's attorneys I would be very careful about wearing out my welcome with a very smart and no-nonsense Federal Court judge. As I looked over at the sunken-eyed OSA staff and the cluster of overpaid attorneys it got me thinking about what life is like inside the bubble these days. … [Read more...]
Tampa Bay Times Editorial
Someone sent me this editorial and I am reprinting it here as a public service. As noted elsewhere I can no longer see their website without paying them a fee which I am not inclined to do and there are others interested in the subject who cannot even buy a hard copy of the paper as they live outside Florida. The Editorial makes a good point. If everything is all above board and proper as the church claims, why are they so worried about these lawsuits and doing everything possible to distract from the real issues they raise? Editorial: Cases shine a light into Scientology Friday, … [Read more...]
Videos And Reading For Today
There are two new videos this morning that everyone should see. I am having some difficulty getting videos to post on this blog, so I am including the url for the first: The first is from Good Morning America: Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. Breaking News http://gma.yahoo.com/video/leah-remini-testify-against-church-123243618.html The second is the world premiere of a video by Tiziano Lugli that is on Tony Ortega's blog this morning. Update: Also, an article in the Tampa Bay Times about the judges in Texas and Tampa denying the church's efforts t … [Read more...]
The Model SH Size Ideal Org Fail
This is a recent report from Los Angeles Model Ideal Org. A current staff member was asked about their pay. "It varies based on GI. Sometimes the check is so low we don't bother to go pick it up and thus donate it back to the org. Our Chief Registrar, John Barber, recently regged a pc for his entire LRH library and we were all were ecstatic because we would get paid." Every staff member in the entire org, every post, is being taught Big League Sales Closing Techniques from the Les Dane book and how to reg money out of people. Now, this is not just an "Ideal Org." This is the MOD … [Read more...]
Promises, Promises….
So much for the first month -- a big fat nothing. None of the four epic accomplishments was done.... Wonder how many people are sitting around at Flag waiting for anything to happen -- desperately trying to avoid the regges? (Good luck with that) Now they are piling on. Promoting the wonders of the IAS event "directly following" the opening of the SP Building and release of GAG II. Make your plans to attend. We are just not telling you WHEN it will be. But when we finally make up our minds a week before the event you will be expected to be there. From: Nitzan Burstein, IAS A … [Read more...]
What Do They Fear?
Just what is it that the church is SO worried about? Why are they so paranoid about information "leaking" onto the internet? Funny, David Miscavige seems to enjoy crowing about how they got "19 million hits" (I know its a lie as this blog gets MORE visitors than Scn.org and I average around 8,000 per day and even at 2.5 pages per visitor that only totals 7.3 million a year) and have numerous "state-of-the-art" websites and are on the "cutting edge." But they are terrified it seems about things showing up on the internet that they are not controling. And for an organization that constantly … [Read more...]
More Fake Videos for Voldemort Graduation Extravaganza
It seems the flap is spreading. Time for some fast "damage control" to try to shore up eroding sandcastle of Ideal Orgs. He has to do SOMETHING urgent to "prove" the Idle Orgs are not a massive waste of time and other people's money. So, send out some film crews to take contrived videos of "flourishing" idle orgs by calling in the old standby "OT Committee". These people are going to stand in as "winning public" to show how their Ideal Org is kicking ass - "giving the message that everyone is in the org getting through." How strange they have to do a SPECIAL CALL IN to shoot the v … [Read more...]
Leah Remini vs. David Miscavige
The old saying goes, "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." A modern translation, "Never pick a fight with anyone who has a large social media profile." And with that in mind, we see this statement from David Miscavige this morning: Good Morning America reported Tuesday that they had received comment from the Church of Scientology that said, "We know this may come as a surprise to someone as self-absorbed as Ms. Remini, but we could care less if she wins or loses on Dancing With the Stars." One thing you can ALWAYS tell from Miscavige's media and court statements - … [Read more...]
