More of the church documents that describe how they go about parting the pocketbooks from their parishioners. (Part 1 here, Part 2 here) This one is from Craig Jensen and it describes in detail the lengths to which these events go to squeeze every last dollar they can out of the attendees.... Nothing really new here, but Jensen manipulating the crowd by doling out his $100,000 ("strategically") at various times to goad others into giving money is a "shame game" that is pretty repulsive. Reading this is like reading a write up produced by Reed Slatkin or some scam artist that sells … [Read more...]

Miami Madness There are so many things wrong here. What do you get? For about $10 million you get a "rendering".... And from 1961, yes, that is more than 50 YEARS AGO, "Clearing is in reach of everyone...." -- unless of course you haven't raised sufficient funds for an ideal building. A New Breed Of Ideal Org? We are not even halfway done with the "old breed"? There is a new breed of genetically modified org now? Wonder if all the existing ideal orgs now have to become "new breed"? Exhibit One For Next Lawsuit The next time an employee … [Read more...]
Scientology Fundraising Techniques Part 2
One of our Special Correspondents just sent me a package of scientology "fundraising issues." I am going to publish them as a public service as a series of articles. The original Part 1 of this series is in an earlier posting from a Special Correspondent in Seattle ("Scientology Fundraising Techniques - The Use Of Shills"). They should be broadly known and available as they show the true nature of the Vulture Culture that is scientology today. Much of it is repetitive, but it is good to have it recorded for posterity. This is the first in the series and contains two documents. The … [Read more...]

Rising Like a Phoenix The ideal org in Phoenix is BOOMING. This shot was taken a week ago at 3:30 in the afternoon. This IS the entire parking lot of the org and that IS the front entrance to the "ideal org." The 47X expansion seems to be passing them by too. Woohoo: Atlanta Construction Documents Are Done! And I have completed my research on what color my Ferrari is going to be when I purchase it... But I do love the parroting of bs in here. Since GAG II international expansion is 47X. See above. Because it sure isn't 47X in Atlanta, but they … [Read more...]

Straight Up and Vertical? This is a recent posting on Instagram showing just how packed the HGC's in the new SP building are.... There is NOTHING happening there, and apparently not even any staff around. They have NO shame... This child has no clue what he is being used for. Once Valley is ideal we can turn on the media blitz... Among all the other bs in here, I wonder why they are waiting for the media blitz? Apparently SO Members are now bodyrouting at the subway entrance at Sunset and Vermont... The "Test Center" on Hollywood Blvd remains … [Read more...]
IAS Fraud
Here is a fabulous sounding quote the IAS is using to convince the sheeple "LRH wanted them to give their money to the IAS." These people will stop at nothing to vacuum money from the gullible. LRH knew NOTHING about the IAS. It was an accounting creation in 1984 to keep money away from the IRS. By the time of his death in 1986 it still wasn't really public. And he certainly didn't write anything about it. So what IS this quote about and where does it come from? You probably would not be surprised to learn that it is taken from something LRH wrote about fees for ORG SERVICES … [Read more...]

"We are actually running governments!" It is astonishing the level of self-delusion that these people engage in. It would be VERY interesting to find out which government(s) they are referring to and check in with them -- "Are you aware that you are being "run" by scientology?" More IAS -- Give us your money NOW It just never ends. But what an amazing feat -- with 2000 public on lines and 12,000 local scientologists, they have managed to pull together 69 donations "that I can document." As always to celebrate such milestones we, the Flag … [Read more...]
Planetary Dissem Scam
More from the scam files. The latest "meter con." I wonder what people are doing with all those "special edition" Mark VI and VII's they bought? Not only are they not "collector's items" you cannot even use them as meters.... "...the vibrant magnificence of this[sic] limited edition meters makes a prestigious statement in three breathtaking colors." "...this very limited edition meter is an iconic awe inspiring beauty like no other." "Still others have built themselves into the very fabric of Scientology history by acquiring the full set." The bullshit is literally nose deep in … [Read more...]
The 30th Anniversary IAS Event
We have already reported about the downgrade of the IAS Event - see The IAS Event Is Already A Bomb from 8 October. It is one thing to downgrade the 30th Anniversary of the IAS celebration to the parking lot on LRH Way, but its a total train wreck when the Flag event is suffering a similar, even more ignoble downsizing. They are not going to be holding this event at the Ruth Eckerd Hall but instead at the Fort Harrison.... The Auditorium there holds 1500 people. They claim to have more STAFF than this and "2000 people from out of town on service at any given time" PLUS 12,000 sc … [Read more...]
Scientology and NOI — The Latest
The latest scientology/Nation of Islam collaboration front group activity. This "United in Peace Day" is being promoted in scientology circles as the "first public recognition of TWTH's role in producing LA's historic drop in crime" (what do they put in the water in scientology buildings?) And here is the "Confidential" briefing about this event (I wonder why this is confidential?) Of course, like everything else in scientology, it is a pitch for money... It is such a vital and important activity, but not a penny of the hundreds of millions of dollars vacuumed up by the IAS could be … [Read more...]
