Well, even ignoring the typical spelling error in the headline, this is sick. There is an "extremely bright side" to this tragedy? And that is this: We have yet another opportunity to collect money from you for you to buy more copies of WTH. Of course, everyone knows the WTH will stop terrorism -- especially when you give it to the VICTIMS of terrorism. … [Read more...]
London Is Calling (for your money)
The disaster capitalists are at it again... They are helping the victims of terror by giving them (not the terrorists) copies of the WTH. I am sure they will find the precept about not murdering someone really helpful. Once again, the insanity of this is that THIS IS WHAT THE IAS CLAIMS IT IS FOR. You give us your money and we use it to help at every disaster all over the world. Yet, here they are, asking for money to get WTH booklets -- that they are charging .66p (85 cents US) for EACH! They COST them no more than 20 cents. Not only is this NOT a serious enough disaster for the … [Read more...]
IAS Freedom Medal Winners
Someone sent me this letter from Audrey Cabrera, who is apparently on tour to get people to hand over more money to the IAS. Her claim to fame? Bringing peace to Venezuela with the Way To Happiness? And this is STILL being pushed as the reason to give more money to the IAS. Today, Venezuelan society is in a total meltdown, making headlines daily with massive violent protests, inflation spiraling out of control, starving people and a collapsed economy. After having already "won" in Venezuela some years ago, she is now pitching the "anti-social personalities" she is up against as a … [Read more...]
Scientology: Champions of Hypocrisy
Over the past couple of weeks we have watched Miscavige go to war with Winter the dolphin. What has been amazing is the breathtaking hypocrisy they have put on display for all the world to witness. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA), home to Winter of the Dolphin Tale movies, is a highly regarded, completely transparent non-profit organization that does wonderful work rescuing marine wildlife (like Winter), but also supports children and other programs. The CMA is the single biggest draw for tourists to Clearwater outside of "the beach." Miscavige, as is his style, threw a hissy fit … [Read more...]
South African Hype
Here we go again, more ridiculous hype. Opening their abandoned castle as an "AO" is going to solve crime, drugs, poverty, education, disease and political dishonesty... By getting a handful of people to "blow off" their BT's and Clusters? And I do mean a handful. This is not the JOB of an Advanced Org -- that is the job of Missions and Class 5 orgs to reach into society and change conditions. But these are obviously the "buttons" in South Africa, so they pitch people with "we will solve these things with an AO" and assume the sheeple will not stop to think "Why would an AO make any … [Read more...]
The “LRH Hall”
The L. Ron Hubbard Hall will be "opening soon" as announced by David Miscavige in December 2014. It is absolutely amazing how they can keep coming up with new ways to bamboozle the sheeple into handing over money. Predictably, this "L. Ron Hubbard Hall" is going to be one of the harder pitches to make. Apart from its name, it has NOTHING to do with L. Ron Hubbard. It is simply a forum for David Miscavige to hold his events instead of Ruth Eckerd Hall (the same 2300 seat venue they have been using for 20 years or more despite their "unprecedented growth"). This is even less appealing than … [Read more...]
The Hype for “Saint Hill Size”
This concept of St Hill size is often talked about. Here we have the CO of the Flag Ship Service Org, the most expensive failed org in the history of scientology, telling people that she is sending someone to explain to them how they are going to go Saint Hill size RIGHT NOW. Hahaha. In scientology, TALK substitutes for reality. They talk themselves into believing their own hype. That "planetary clearing is a reality" or "we are expanding like never before" or "the Golden Age of tech is flooding people up the Bridge" etc There are numerous variations of the self-affirmation technique … [Read more...]
The IAS Is Lying, Again
This is a recent promo piece put out by the IAS. It would lead one to believe that it is the IAS that "reached" 117 million people with the WTH over the last 12 months. That the hundreds of millions of dollars they receive annually is what finances the "4th Dynamic campaigns." Remember all the promotion you see from the IAS about how their job is to carry out the "4th Dynamic" campaigns to salvage earth? And how THEY are the ones who are doing this to "guarantee the future of scientology"? This one appeared in the Thursday Funnies edition a couple of weeks ago. Well, if the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Good luck with that The only thing they seem to be promoting is how good the Orpheum is. Like it's an "ideal" venue or something -- it is "recently renovated" and it has close parking, it's right downtown and is "stunningly beautiful." Even if the video they are going to show is a Rotten Tomatoes 0%er, the place looks good. And just like every ideal org, you can bet it will be virtually empty. Grammar Police where are you? "...the Ideal Org of San Diego is having an unprecedented expansion rate..." Seriously? Where do they find their copywriters? Oh yeah, "wog" … [Read more...]

URGENT - it's NOT happening Those super OT's don't seem to be making things go right. But you CAN always donate.... Talk freely I assume this is ONLY for people who have NOT completed Grade 0.... And I wonder how Barbara Dews would do in a conversation with any commenter on this blog? Shrivel up and vanish no doubt. OT IX for sale! 1985!!!! They sold him OT IX in 1985. THIRTY YEARS later and it's STILL no closer to being available. "These packages have a lot of value" ha ha ha ha BTW anyone stupid enough to buy this from him deserves … [Read more...]
