Reverend Freddie Firing Em Up in the Fatherland Raise your havingness so you can give your money to me. Why does anyone care what he has to say about Havingness? It's a Celebration Until the regges greet you at the door.. Preventing the world from being destroyed Now THAT'S a Success Story! Totally vague and totally meaningless. But eh, let's publish it anyway like it's really good! Not So Mighty My Mammy The letter B is completed! 2 down only 24 to go... Big turnout This is the org LRH can count on. And … [Read more...]
The Colombian Miracle
Scientology has produced a miracle in Colombia! The nation has been overcome by the golden glow and concentric circles of the S and Double Triangle and it's now spreading throughout the world. So much for the hype. Truly one of the most insidious things about scientology is the outrageously false claims they make about their accomplishments in far off lands. Funny how the miracles never seem to happen in Los Angeles or New York or Clearwater... When the peace treaty was recently announced with FARC a few people emailed me wondering how long it would be before scientology claimed … [Read more...]
Scientology Fundraising Shames the Terminator
You thought the Terminator was relentless. Hah. Complete wimp when viewed alongside scientology fundraising automatons. This example says it all. They raised $20 million or so for Valley "ideal" Org. And then, as with every other "ideal" org, they go into a panic to get their "CF filing backlog done in order to be ideal." And now Valley - the biggest, baddest, most important ideal org on earth, in the midst of the largest concentration of scientologists on earth, with the biggest whales on earth is begging for donated Widows [sic] computers (not too old...) to be able to connect up … [Read more...]

St Louis is Rocking Really. Even Fran got in on the act. And "Why I Did It" can be summed up this way - I am led to believe I am doing something good handing over my money. Milestones! Now we know the exact definition of "milestone" - 5 hours working in CF. Have you heard about the huge field meeting? Neither has anyone else.... They don't have a huge field to meet. Unless it's a milestone huge field meeting with 5 people. The elites the planet is depending on Seriously? Then we should all kiss our asses goodbye. Mighty … [Read more...]
IAS Fraud – What Else is New?
If the number below is anywhere near close to true, and they spent just half of it on hurricane relief in Haiti they would have hours of videos and press releases showing the schools they built, homes they constructed... But of course, there is no such thing. The best they might come up with is a video of a few people in yellow T-shirts doing touch assists. $5 million would go a long way towards relieving pain and suffering in many parts of the world. It doesn't. At best it will be used to buy new buildings and perhaps fly a video team somewhere to stage some shots to encourage … [Read more...]

Silicon Valley Groundbeaking A year after completing their funraising they are finally going to beak the ground. At least they spelled it right this time.... But what the hell is the CCHR IC EUS doing there? New Year's... It's either the 17th of December or the 27th? Save the dates.... Make sense out of this, if you can Somehow the theme seems appropriate Free lunch But really, there is no such thing. Especially not in scientology. Can you handle the truth? The Chanman is going to explain the Whole Track … [Read more...]
Fleecing The Sheeple
This article is written by Lois (Jory) Reisdorf. She was one of the original Commodore's Messengers aboard the Apollo, and I have known her and her husband Gary since being shipmates together back in the 70's. They left the Sea Org in the 80's, raised 3 boys and were off anyone's radar screen. Scientology managed, as it so often does, to poke the sleeping lioness and steal one of her cubs. More on that story will be forthcoming, along with some fascinating insights into the early days of the Sea Org and L. Ron Hubbard and on up through the rise of David Miscavige. For now, this will serve as … [Read more...]

It's Yuge Biggest since the Portland Crusade. Er, by the way, the IAS had NOTHING to do with Portland. There was no "IAS event" about Portland as IAS events didn't exist then. Wait -- what about THE Turning Point event? The War Is Over!!! Wonder if she is going to survive this monumental assault on the COB's ego that she forgot about his greatest accomplishment? ASHO, Home of the Briefing Course Apparently not. And as the person who sent this "success" to me commented. Her "wins" could have been achieved by retiring. Far less costly and perhaps more … [Read more...]

It's IAS Event week So the overhype is spectacular in it's epicness. I have spared you all the trash they sent out this past week. Monumental in volume. Miniscule in content. They keep coming up with these silly phrases -- Shaping a renaissance for freedom... It's Huge! History is made... Bubbles chimes in with some less than convincing hype. The Freedom Metal winners... Beyond your imagination - perhaps the only true statement. Actually, it's an epic rehash... The opening of Harlem and the AO in Australia. Woopee. But don't miss the … [Read more...]
IAS Bald Faced Lies
You can be certain that the level of hype and bs at the annual IAS Celebration at St Hill this weekend was unparalleled, epic and milestone. If these new promotional items are any indication, the brazen lies are becoming so astounding that it is hard to imagine anyone actually buying them? Seriously, they actually believe that handing out WTH (with NO information even about how many were handed out or what percentage of the population they reached or whether anyone even read it) has made Amsterdam the "5th safest city on earth" (wonder where they get that supposed statistic … [Read more...]
