Just getting around to this -- things have been pretty hectic in the last few weeks and this one took a bit more work. A Special Correspondent attended the March 13th event in LA and reported some entertaining first-hand observations which serve as an introduction to some key points from the International Scientology News March 13 "Birthday Game" edition. First, the on-the-ground report from the Dolby Theater in LA. A grey, barely marked, Church of Scientology mini-bus pulled up to the curb and discharged 4 or 5 people into the crowd that makes Hollywood & Highland a nightly spe … [Read more...]

Basel a Bust They sent out their first promo piece on Monday -- for an event on Saturday: They are already hitting people up for MORE money, even before it's opened. The tiny org in the small city is made "ideal" and meanwhile, the "big org" in the big city, Zurich, goes nowhere. Go figure. Sort of like Malmo and Stockholm. Inglewood and Valley. Nashville and Boston. Oh, The Lies.... Mr. OT Hatting hisself has teamed up with Rafferty Pendery -- though they cannot spell his name right -- son of IAS "Freedom Medal Winner", OSA stooge and general flim-flam man, Rick … [Read more...]

Hahaha No corroborating evidence? Except what scientology churns out every day to try and discredit the movie.... Terrific promotion for the film though. BTW, an interview Alex and I did will be airing on NPR All Things Considered today at 16:40 / 18:40 / 20:40 EDT (17:40 / 19:40 PDT). New promotion for leaving scientology... THE best way to overcome financial stress. Flag OTC buying their own bs Puerto Rico and Orlando are "on the runway." Obviously they have no idea the state of these two failing field groups. But even better "Ma … [Read more...]

What a strange fellow. I guess he thinks, sort of like Idi Amin or Moammar Qaddaffi, that if he pins enough shit on himself everyone will know what an accomplished individual he is. And THIS is who the church uses to promote the March 13 event? Once again, proof that making and/or taking money is an exalted status in corporate scientology. Honestly, he looks like he just stepped out of the Golden Age Paintball Range and took some hits to the upper torso. Nice grouping on the right.... … [Read more...]

Masters of MES Not doing so well on the Time part. These are two of the four invitations received on the SAME DAY by a single person. Two for the 7:00pm version of the event and two for the 7:30 version -- both at the Ft Harrison because apparently they can no longer fill Ruth Eckerd. Gavin Potter. Again. David Miscavige's clone is back to teach you once again how to make money to give to the church. I bet he attracted a massive crowd in Inglewood. Talk about a fish out of water.... The dianetics volcano and 47X expansion graph This is … [Read more...]
The Greatest Event Ever – Til The Next One
Well, this should be interesting. The largest scientology community on earth is getting going early on the hard sell to show up to see the David Miscavige show live. I hope someone in LA will sacrifice themselves for 3 hours of pain so we get a report on the attendance and activities. It will be VERY telling how full the Shrine is. If they cannot round up 6300 people from all over California, including all the Sea Org staff and all those ideal orgs, it would be a VERY poor show. In fact, according to the hype, they are coming from all over the world. I guess they ALREADY know they cannot … [Read more...]
Why Isn’t Anyone Doing What We Tell Them?
This was just mailed to me. It is a little dated, but one thing you can be certain of -- things have not gotten better since this was issued. It might be difficult to read as this is a scan of what appears to be a photocopy of a fax of a "goldenrod." But I am laying out the important things here anyway, which are the figures on the first page which explain why this interrogatory is being issued. For those not familiar with an "interrogatory" it is something issued by the Ethics Department intended to help them get to the bottom of a bad situation by interrogating people about what they … [Read more...]
Event Attendance Terrible
It seems the Nuremberg Rally style events have run their course in LA -- the largest population of scientologists on earth.

CC Gala — What’s Missing?
Here is the latest promo piece for the annual CC Gala. JT is featured prominently - twice. Is he doing another ethics handling and has committed to attend for sure as part of his amends? Jenna Elfman and Laura Prepon, Mark Isham and Chick Corea are also shown. Jenna, Mark and Chick are card-carrying Kool Aid drinkers. Laura may be in the same boat as JT -- in a bit of trouble for being gay in Orange Is The New Black, or they just happened to use a photo of JT that she is in from a previous Gala. But the real issue here is who they are NOT showing... The greatest disseminator in the h … [Read more...]
The March 13 Event Was A Total Bust
The "March 13" edition of the International Scientology Nonsense (ISN) has just arrived in mailboxes everywhere. A bit tardy, but one could understand: 146 glossy, 4 color pages of Shermanspeak stream of consciousness is a bit of a task to put together. Though all it does is repeat the contents of the March 13 Event held at the Ruth Eckerd Hall (after 20 years, one would assume that the straight up and vertical expansion would have outgrown Ruth Eckerd Hall that only holds 2300 people...) Of course, reduced to the written page this stuff sounds even stupider than when it is accompanied by … [Read more...]
