I have known Andy Porter for many, many years. He was somewhat of a legend due to his work opening Russia and many of its former satellites to scientology. Andy spent many years defining the term "pioneer." He was an unsung hero who did a lot of the REAL work behind the scenes that ended up being glorified in IAS Freedom Medal winner videos and other event presentations. Andy now hails from the northwestern corner of Washington State where he lives with his wife and 10 year old son. He is an accomplished landscape photographer focused on capturing the beauty and majesty of the North C … [Read more...]

Eating Activities The only thing that seems to be happening on L. Ron Hubbard Way these days is brunch and dinner.... Keep Calm... Our old friend Kristen Toth has been busy on FB: Sure glad she put the copyright symbol after "Flag"... Letters Out Speaking of Toths... Desperate times call for desperate measures. This is sent on the theory that "outflow=inflow." I expect the inflow WILL be equal to the outflow.

LA Org Is Not Clearing LA
More on the latest grand fail. Pathetic stats that these people think are impressive -- and by comparison to other orgs, I am sure they are. But 34 Clears in 4 or 5 months (split the difference and call it 18 weeks) is less than 2 per week. Just for ballpark let's say LA is 10 million people. Clearing this area is going to take a LOOONG time, even if nobody else is born or moves in. 5 million weeks is about 100,000 YEARS. And this is the model, ideal, fully manned with experienced SO members LA Org. The pattern that is now being exported around the world.... I guess these people … [Read more...]
What IS “Cause Resurgence”?
Now, remember, out in the real world, we KNOW what this "rundown" consists of. But in the scientology bubble, it is "confidential" and is not mentioned unless you have paid your entrance fee and are ushered into the special floor of the SP building, where you are then told that this "OT Rundown" consists of.... Running in circles. Literally. For a few weeks. There is nothing else. You are told to run around a fixed object. And to keep running. Now read this latest Mintzmeat hype and realize they are charging people $5,000 to do this (not including what they charge … [Read more...]

Not Funny: Very Good News Allen Barton announced yesterday that his play, DISCONNECTION has been extended to March 29 - fifteen more performances. Encourage everyone you know to attend, everyone who has seen it RAVES about how good it is. Frisco Files Another "ideal org" that doesnt seem able to do their filing. Nothing the kids like more than to spend a day "filing." Rumor has it Disney is looking to buy ideal orgs to turn them into children's entertainment centers as they generate a never ending supply of filling. Not sure if this is any better? Filing while watching a … [Read more...]
Flag Is Limp
Jeff Mintz is not as regular as he once was, and for a while I thought he had been given the permanent heave-ho. It's a terrible thing when "good news" turns up on this blog as proof of stagnation. Then, after a month of silence, the FSC San Jose stole his thunder and put out the Mintzmeat(tm) report from herself. She even stole his format, but changed it from blue to red (Mintz had changed "Good News" to "Late Breaking News" probably because of how much fun we had with his "good news" but Ms. Dodwell seems oblivious for now). As always, I have added the latest figures to the end of the … [Read more...]
Phoenix Ideal Org Fail
This is an ideal org? I thought they were supposed to go into instant "straight up vertical" expansion? Phoenix was opened in June 2012. More than 2.5 YEARS ago. The org is empty, we have had a number of people report on the empty org, here is a report from 2013. Now there is more proof of what a failure this "ideal org" is. They are announcing a "special" graduation because two people finished their Objectives. WOW. And of course, I was curious, so I looked them up. They couldn't possibly be NEW public. If they completed two NEW public on Objectives it would be a MONUMENTAL … [Read more...]

Not a lot of time to put this together, the Garcia hearing continues this morning (See Tony Ortega's blog). But some good ones came across the transom since last week.... Burning Up The Track The Birthday Game has become the "Fundraising Birthday Game" with the motto "Give LRH what he didnt want for his birthday, no expansion, just money not for services." And even then, 6 of these orgs managed less than $1000. It takes a LOOOOOONG time to buy and renovate an ideal org palace at $100 a week. Tampa Central Files It never ends... The scientology administrative system is … [Read more...]
It’s Magic: St Hill Is Highest Evers
How do you make instant "highest evers statistics"? It's easy, just combine TWO orgs into ONE. It's like a "golden age" expansion formula that Dear Leader has conjured up. Here is something from the latest UK Advance! mag. What is really amazing is the gleeful way they promote the closure of another org, one that L. Ron Hubbard himself put in place and wrote NUMEROUS policy letters about. How do they call themselves "on source scientologists" who are "dedicated to keeping scientology working" and "doing what Ron says" and yet get all excited about "the merge of Saint Hill … [Read more...]
Despite Everything, LA Org Is Empty
Despite 200 fully hatted and trained Sea Org Members with 10,346.7 years of experience. Despite "ideal" premises. And the best of the best seasoned bodyrouters. The Model Test Center on Hollywood Blvd. A crack team used to train executives from all over the world on "how it is done." The bestowing of the title: Model Ideal St Hill Size Org by Dear Leader himself. The largest concentration of scientologists on earth. Massive advertising on network TV. Huge spending on internet ads. The power of positive postulates injected into the environment by Gavin Potter and o … [Read more...]
