The Moneywinds is ROCKING Recent shot of the "Starlight Cabaret". Says everything you need to know about how they are busting the seams at the top of the Bridge. It's Epic They have 13 OTC members flat out on the "ideal" org in San Diego. Should be done be 2050. Last time for this year Uncle Sam wants you to go up the Bridge. Seriously? Tampa "is making" staff a viable career It's been an "ideal org" for 12 years and they haven't yet made being staff a viable career. If Tampa can't do it, nobody can. After all, … [Read more...]
Rundown of Problems
A Special Correspondent (clearlypissedoff) sent this to me. They did a lot of work to compile this information and it deserves to see the light of day as it is an invaluable resource for those looking for a summary of problems and sources of data. It seems like a perfect posting to get the New Year started with something both memorable and useful. clearlypissed off sent me this and asked me to put it at the top of this posting: "Thank you very much Mike, for editing this document and posting it. I would like to make the comment that this was assembled with the viewpoint of having … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Best gift ever... Pay for them to attend one of our fundraising dinners where they will be hounded and harassed until they have turned over anything they have... OT IX and X on the brink of release How do we know? Because the "OTC Production Secretary" announced it. Funny, Dear Leader usually likes to take credit... Celebrate the Sucesses [sic] There are only about 10 words on this -- and they still cannot spell them right. Ensuring mankind has a future Nothing conceited about this. Cambridge "ideal" org can't reach beyond the sidewalk... Mega … [Read more...]
The Latest Con
The cons just keep rolling in. Though they also have an element of armed robbery. You are presented with a unilateral dictate "here is how things are now, and that means you have to turn over more money to us." This one is a new angle I hadn't seen before. In "celebration" of the "golden" age of tech, they have issued NEW Clear and OT bracelets -- "in accordance with LRH's precise instructions." Of course, they cost an arm and a leg. But tough. It's all justified when it is making "planetary clearing a reality." The old ones are no good any more. And Colin Davie, the robot … [Read more...]
The Latest Big Lie (to Get Your Money Of Course)
This one is a monster. Give your money to the US IAS Member Trust and you are "supporting the most effective humanitarian campaigns in the world that are truly saving lives every day." Every part of this is a lie. The "US IAS Members Trust" is not "the IAS" according to scientology when they are trying to defend themselves in lawsuits. It is a "trust" that serves no function other than as a repository of funds. But, I must admit, that is a nitpick. Especially when compared to the rest. The most effective humanitarian campaigns in the world. Seriously? Not even sure what they put in … [Read more...]
Scientology Fundraising — The Reality
The below mailing is sent out by scientology as a big success: Take out loans. Stretch your finances beyond what any sensible person would do. Go deeply into debt. And then somehow it all works out due to a windfall that was completely unexpected. What a way to handle your money? Doing exactly what L. Ron Hubbard said NOT to do, so you can be really "on Source" and hand over everything you own, and more, to the great scientology cause (of course "ideal orgs" are totally "squirrel" according to Hubbard, but that is not what the sheeple are told). Insanity. What about the 100 or 100 … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Big Time Brown-nosing
I mentioned this in passing before but have not had time to go through and provide commentary on the Impact magazine featuring the annual IAS event. But I could not leave this tidbit til after XMas. If Saturday Night Live or John Oliver set out to satirize the fawning worship of money in scientology again, they would be hard pressed to come up with anything that tops this. The IAS event in the UK, and the annual Gala dinner the following night, are the biggest moments in the fundraising year in scientology. They are the single most important day on the scientology calendar now, far … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Quote of the century This is utterly incomprehensible, but they put it out because, like "it's LRH so it must be good." What this has to do with "ideal" orgs is anyone's guess... They are going to "eliminate" the pot "scene" in Colorado They are going to Clear the planet sooner than they will accomplish this clearly hopeless objective. From: Bruno Bergeron <[email protected]> To: Sent: Subject: TAD meeting featuring OTs in Action Dear All, Our Truth About Drugs outreach is a critical component to the plan for reducing and … [Read more...]
It’s The Biggest Planetary Clearing Thing Ever
Not only that -- it's "eminent" in 2016. More scientology money grubbing. It is absolutely relentless. But of all the schemes that have absolutely no purpose this and the L. Ron Hubbard Hall take the cake. Scientology's "latest tour-de-force" was "originally established in 1912." This is like some sort of pattern that has crept into the scientology world as a trickle-down from Shermanspeak Miscavige ribbon-yankings -- you always explain the "history"as if it has some bearing on anything.... Here is a comparison of information that is used to make this sound so vitally important -- … [Read more...]
WISE Shilling Again
Here is that "secular" WISE "non-church" organization doing what they do best. Trying to sucker money out of people for scientology stuff. Funny, they announced this "SMP" was going to completed and opened in the summer time. Still not done. Not because of lack of money -- it was one of those projects that was a Miscavige folly that was always going to be paid for by scientology funds. Almost certainly there is a typical Miscavige story behind the facade -- he has been threatening to "close down" Gold for decades. Whenever he is pissed off about something he tells Gold "I am … [Read more...]
