This email went out one minute before the scheduled start of this "seminar." They dun cansulled it. Maybe not so much unlimited expansion and prosperity for the seminar leaders. One of two things happened: 1. Nobody showed up. 2. Message from on-high that having NSO's doing seminars in the all-SO pride of the Miscavige fleet, LA Org is a no-no. Given the timing of the email, I would guess the former. But it could well be the latter. Sooner or later Dear Leader is going to blow a gasket about the fucking DB NSO's doing seminars and then someone is going to have to … [Read more...]

You can buy status at 25% off They have been suckered For EVERY possible fundraising activity for the last 40 years. It's a long time to keep giving just to have your picture on a promo piece. As big as LA Org! If you don't count the 200 SO members St LouAss Be happy. Give us your money. The sky is no longer the limit... My perception of others has become global. And much more... Commemorate the start of something big The monumental lies about the largest private relief force on earth all started with … [Read more...]
Fred Harris Back From The Grave
A point of minor interest. Fred Harris was the original "Flag World Tour" team with Barry Watson in 1975/6. He then made his way to ASI and to Int where he was LRH PPRO Int for a while and GI Exec Int and various other posts. He also blew the Sea Org at least 3 times, only to be recovered. If you read Peter Bonyai's excellent book Money, Power, Servitude you will see he was also the person sent to stat-push Budapest Org so it could be falsely announced "St Hill Size." Total insanity. I guess they thought he did well, so he has been sent back to Hungary to try and scrape together … [Read more...]
LRH Monument To Fundraising
Laurie Webster, vampire extraordinaire has continued to haunt those she previously bled dry for the SP Building in the hopes they have a bit more to give. The pitch isn't as dramatic as it was for the SP Building. She can no longer promise that by giving money you would make planetary clearing a reality with the release of Super Power (how is that planetary clearing working out Laurie?). So she has a new pitch to try and get her message heard among the demands for money for the IAS, Ideal Orgs, Planetary Dissemination, Narconon, CCHR, Criminon, book … [Read more...]

Is this a joke? Scientology is going to teach the world how to do PR? And the KKK are going to be holding a seminar on racial tolerance... Arte Maren? Seriously? GO poster child pitching for the Moneywinds? Strange bedfellows. Desperate circumstances call for desperate measures. More "commercial" From the religion that worships money Yes, it's EPIC... Let your imagination run wild as to just how epic this could be. An event in Birmingham, put on by Birmingham... Money, money, money I doubt even the televangelists … [Read more...]
More IAS Lies
Here we go again... A definition: Disaster capitalism is the practice of generating profits based on the occurrence of a disaster. Next to that definition in the dictionary is the photo above. These IAS people have no shame. Let's put this latest pathetic plea into perspective. 1. What Dominica needs is NOT Volunteer Ministers -- it is money, clothing, food, construction workers and equipment. 2. IF Dominica really needed "Volunteer Ministers" and scientology really WAS about humanitarian aid, the Freewinds would have been despatched there 3 days ago and the entire crew c … [Read more...]
Where’s The IAS When You Need Them?
I thought the 4th Dynamic Campaigns were funded by the IAS? They say it often enough in their magazine and at their events. What the hell does this "rock and fortress of humanity" do other than take money from people and give them gaudy trophies? Here is Barbara Kalergis begging for people to donate shit for a "garage sale" to raise money to fund Criminon, right there in the home of the largest concentration of scientologists on earth and the home of IAS Administrations, and Criminon International and ABLE International. Surely the IAS could toss Criminon the coins that fall between … [Read more...]

Wrong Plane This should have been a DC 8 not a DC 3. And that is an awfully slow way to travel, the WW II era DC3 is not renowned for its speed.... Just a month or so ago, Andres was touring around as Snr CS WUS. Wonder if his coverage on the fringes of the internet got him in trouble? The greatest push in the last 2500 years Seems just a bit overhyped... Makes you wonder what the push was back in Mesopotamia in 600BC The event went on for 8 hours... Bet none of these photos were taken when it ended. This is an ideal org? They can list everyone who is … [Read more...]
Miscavige Media Madness
A few days ago I posted something about David Miscavige's response to the Tampa Bay Times -- Miscavige Media Handling. And now this. An article published in Business Insider yesterday continuing the discussion about John Oliver's brilliant piece on televangelists and tax exemption. (And, in case you missed it, Oliver took another jab at scientology in his show last Sunday). What is remarkable here is not the article itself. It contains virtually no new news other than an inaccurate statement from Anthony Ole, the president of Trinity Foundation where he seems to think sci … [Read more...]
Finally, Scrooge Subsidizes Valley Idle Org
It's just too damned embarrassing. Even though they STILL haven't made their "ballpark figure" to able allowed to get started on getting a final figure for construction, it seems Uncle Scrooge McDuck is going to chip in the last few million and get them rolling. (Though it could be that this is just another of their numerous false promises about how close they are to being done....) But it seems unlikely because this is the pattern happening around the world now. They will keep squeezing the local orgs for everything they can get out of them, but in the interim, Scrooge has opened … [Read more...]
