Remember when they used to issue these commendations BEFORE the "Ideal Org" opened and publish their "OTC Minutes" listing the attendees? They don't do that any more because they were embarrassed about them repeatedly being leaked and appearing on this blog. Ah, for the good old days... And remember the 10X expansion that is guaranteed when an org has its ribbon yanked by the only True Leader, David Miscavige? Well, Valley has just announced their progress towards achieving 10X. They now have 30 active OTC members. But wait a second. It … [Read more...]
The Braun Noser’s Ode
This is a sad indication of the level of fawning praise those inside the bubble heap on David Miscavige. They are so deluded they eagerly lap up his bs and believe he is leading them into a "golden age" of scientology ascendancy on earth. They think under his guidance scientology is being accepted everywhere and is expanding like never before. Truly it is the Emperor's New Clothes syndrome. Nobody wants to say it out loud -- instead they praise his wonderful garments. I think some of them truly don't even see he is naked because they don't want to look. Instead, they believe that it will … [Read more...]
Miscavige Ribbon Yanking Shrinkage
With no fanfare or pre-announcement (scared of being arrested perhaps?), David Miscavige, the True Leader of scientology snuck into Stuttgart and yanked his ribbon. A month ago. He made a quick in and out dash into the danger zone of the Federal Republic of Germany. What is most remarkable is that they managed to get anyone at all to speak on a podium at a scientology event in Germany -- but the "dignitaries" were less than stellar, though they did present a problem in that three of them were quite tall. Even with a forced perspective shot of his standing in front of them, size was … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The most important announcement in history... ...until the next event. And the announcement? "We need more money." We will pay you $12 an hour... or give you a "very upstat and meaningful commendation" A message from Carol Nolan I was the Deputy Command Officer Internal of OSA International for many years. Now I am doing fundraising in Africa. My career path seems to be on the decline... where did I go wrong? Is there any hope? Or is my next stop gig booker for the Jive Aces? He's back! Well, that is a relief. It was only … [Read more...]
“Astonishing Accomplishments” at “Magnificent” IAS Weekend
Scientology is patting itself on the back following the 34th annual IAS event. A few morsels of mulleted magnificence to set the scene -- and this was just the preamble to get to the actual avent: East Grinstead appears as if from a storybook, a medieval marketplace... ...blissfully tranquil ...wave upon wave of attendees, their anticipation abounding. ...the crunch of stone and gravel below boots and high heels echoed down the drive, dusk turned to night and an evening of wonder was now poised to begin. It was the typical stream of adjectival excess that sprang forth in the strange … [Read more...]
David Miscavige — The Hagiography
Someone brought to my attention a website I had not seen before. It is entirely devoted to the virtues of the only True Leader, David Miscavige -- davidmiscavige.org. No doubt it is a response to the increasing volume of critical media about scientology and Miscavige. He wants to combat the bad news, but is afraid to speak to the media. So, he gets his minions to build a website for him with retouched, staged photos, glowing tributes and a series of brown-nosing videos that are pretty amazing. They are cringeworthy rehearsed statements from a variety of people -- Sea Org, staff and … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Staff Pay
Remember the infamous "You Can Have It All" campaign to join ideal org staff in Melbourne? And the "Every Ideal Org = 10X expansion" hype that has been going on for years? Here is the real truth about "having it all" on staff of an ideal org. This staff member at Pasadena cannot afford the rent for a ROOM. Remember, Pasadena is one of the early "ideal orgs" -- True Leader yanked his ribbon there in July 2010. It is an org that had big whales supporting it, Craig and Sally Jensen (what happened to them??), located right in downtown Pasadena (not in some industrial park) and enjoys one … [Read more...]
The Cult Shopping Network
Tonight is the big night! The long awaited, but not anticipated second "season" of the Cult Shopping Network. You can see the trailer here - though I can save you some time as it says absolutely NOTHING. From all indications, the new season WILL defy expectations. Of scientologists hoping for something new, different or effective. As for everyone else -- not so much. The CSN has been a magnificent flop. The REAL audience for this entire scam is internal. They are holding "watching parties" in every org and on L. Ron Hubbard Way. Yet, the public the CSN is NOT aimed at is existing s … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Everything is INCREDIBLE and ON FIRE We are fundraising for our construction documents... Woohooo. And the AO Africa is opening (maybe -- been promising that white elephant for a decade now). And that is important because? This is Durban Ideal Org! Not really. It's a hospital where they provide blood transfusions for those who have been sucked dry by the regges... Great news 5 people finished something! With the Howarth's leading the way. One Clear. Likely the only one this year... Join staff now We have the greatest rugby team on the … [Read more...]
Not Making Planetary Clearing A Reality
OK - let’s take a moment and take the planetary Clearing challenge once again. LRH proclaims it's possible, so it must be true right? Don't these amazing "no numbers" graphs prove it? They show them at every event and the sheeple seem to lap them up. Let's ask the experts: How DO you get 327 million Americans to cross the Bridge? How DO you Clear the planet? (not just "make Planetary Clearing a reality") Well, according to scientology postulated math, all you need do is make every org ideal. So, let’s look at the BEST ideal org. The “model” that was touted repeatedly by True Lea … [Read more...]
