The crazy keeps getting crazier. The unhinged Minions of Miscavige spew increasingly insane rantings as the walls close in on their bubble of belief. Anyone suffering under the illusion that "author" of this latest conspiracy theory, Ryan Prescott, is some wayward "lone-wolf" scientologist acting on his own, please know this is NOT the case. Nobody, especially not a scientology org staff member, takes OSA Matters into their own hands. They ONLY act in concert with and as fronts for OSA or they are shut down instantly. He might as well announce himself officially as a member of the STAAD … [Read more...]
We ARE Going St Hill Size in 3 Weeks For SURE
I just happened across a copy of this letter from February 2015. This was the big push to try to get a St Hill Size org for March 13th. There hadn't been one for more than a decade (and there still isn't one today -- importing Sea Org members to man LA Org doesnt count, nor does sending Sea Org members to Africa to man a new "AO") and this was becoming embarrassing. So a "12 man Sea Org, Saint Hill Size Mission" was sent in to ensure it happened. They failed. Obviously. It didn't get announced as SH Size in 2015, nor in any year since. And anyone who has been by the Pasadena … [Read more...]
Scientology’s “Massive International Expansion” Under Captain David Miscavige — Lies Exposed
Jeffrey Augustine posted the document below on his wonderful site The Scientology Money Project which is an invaluable source of amazing information. He included it with a video of scientology's grand poohbah of mailing lists which in itself is fascinating. But I wanted to make a different point. Captain Miscavige and his crew of loyal sycophants constantly claim that scientology is experiencing its "greatest growth ever" and "more expansion in the last few years than the previous 50 years combined" blah blah blah Everyone outside the bubble knows these are massive lies. But … [Read more...]
The “Elite” Team Fail
One of the first "ideal orgs" was San Francisco. Dear Leader yanked its ribbon way back in November 2003. That is nearly 16 years ago now... They're still at it -- trying to get themselves to St Hill Size -- calling themselves an "elite" team. As if this makes them so. It was the same tune two years ago -- though they were a little more overt: Of course, they may STILL be the "next" org to make it to St Hill Size, because there hasn't been one in the intervening 2 years... But then, we remember this. From 2006 -- the SFO Org magazine "Gateway": And … [Read more...]
Freewinds Flailing
The Freewinds will be empty again by tomorrow. Dear Leader's annual scuba diving holiday Maiden Voyage celebrations have come to an end and everyone is heading home with their new "OT Ambassador" orders (which are the same as last year -- collect money for Ideal Orgs and IAS). The "OT Base" that sails "off the crossroads of the world" reverts to its real status "Ghost ship sitting at dock off the crossroads of the world." Bouncing between Curacao and Aruba, she is a cruise ship without a cruise. And without passengers. In their desperation, they hold all sorts of oddball "conventions" … [Read more...]
A New Golden Age for Clearwater?
Our friend Mark Bunker is in the news again. But this time it isn’t about what scientology is doing to Fair Game him. Some of you may have seen the announcement that Wise Beard Man intends to run for a seat on the Clearwater City Commission. It was reported in the Tampa Bay Times yesterday. Clearwater, Bunker said, has “got a unique problem here in Scientology. And I think the city ought to balance it out with a unique council member who understands Scientology.” Mark has a long history in Clearwater and with scientology. We discussed some of this in 2 episodes of Scie … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Guardians of the Universe? Maybe you should try to get some people to come to Flag before controlling the whole universe? You people are so utterly deluded it is laughable. Pasadena for Ventura How about Pasadena for Pasadena? The problem is there is nothing that can be bought that will make Pasadena, the ALREADY ideal org, a success. So, just move on, pretend we don't notice, and spend money on another ideal org in Ventura... Yeah, that makes sense. Proud to be Pirates I guess pillaging and plundering doesn't require you to be able to … [Read more...]
An “Ideal” and “St Hill Size” Org Struts Its Stuff
Presented personally by Mr. David Miscavige with both "Ideal Org'" AND "St Hill Size" status, Joburg org epitomizes the pinnacle of scientology organizations on earth (not counting the artificially inflated Tampa Org that is home to the many Flag rejects and people trying to avoid Flag registrars). And here we see what they are so proud of: 2 Clears in one week and one person “flying through his training” — apparently they didn’t have a single course completion to announce in the same week as the 2 Clears. This is the best. of the best. And compared to other scientology orgs, it is. Mos … [Read more...]
The “Top” of the Bridge is Collapsing
The "Mecca of Technical Perfection" (they don't seem to use that name any more, even though it was bestowed by L. Ron Hubbard himself) is becoming more and more desperate. Yesterday I included information about the shrinking world of scientology evidenced by the curtailed Maiden Voyage celebrations. Today we have more evidence from the "top of the Bridge" where they are now delivering the "Personal Efficiency Course"... This is described at the What is Scientology website as follows (emphasis mine): For many people, happiness is an elusive quality. Surveys show that “being happy” is w … [Read more...]
Maiden Voyage Shrinkage
There is a lot of shrinkage in scientology these days, and now Maiden Voyage is added to the list. (Yes I know the graph is meaningless, it’s how scientology always presents their “expansion” so it seemed appropriate...) For decades there have been 5 main events and a Seminar for every Maiden Voyage: "Opening Night" -- a summary of the "accomplishments" of the "OT Ambassadors" "Org Night" -- an update on Ideal Orgs "Source Night" -- the Sherminator with a veritable avalanche of hagiographic mumblings "Special Night" -- either something from Author Services or CST or WISE … [Read more...]
