The news from Flag has not been good. You may recall I did a post (Things At Flag Are Bleak) in January mentioning they had stopped circulating the "Good News" briefings. And that only happens when there is nothing even the eternally unreal FSC office can present as good news. But I guess they must read the blog, because 3 days later, after nothing since November 2015, suddenly in my in box appeared a new (shortened) edition of "Flag Good News." Since then there have been a few more of these "Good News" briefing. There are a LOT of missing weeks of really stinking stats. The … [Read more...]

Come To The Flag Dear me, it just cannot be this hard to get all the words onto a poster I did something which truly helped... No you didn't. Babe watch Still saying Tampa "is making" staff a viable career. It should be that by now. These are really becoming like the prude version of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. They have nothing to do with Sports. And this has nothing to do with Orgs/being on staff/SO. Discounts. Discounts. Hurry. Hurry. Nothing like "Ron's Birthday" as a reason to give discounts on the money they will never … [Read more...]
OT Wins at the Bottom of the Bridge
What scientology is willing to promote gets crazier and crazier by the week. They are beginning to read like Weird Al Yankovic parodies. The ramblings are virtually incomprehensible. And it appears they don't even read them with any perspective about what they actually SAY before they send them out to the world. As long as they are over-the-top and kowtow to Dear Leader Miscavige they are good to go. With success stories like the one below, I don't understand why anyone bothers spending the time and the money to go to the "top of the Bridge"? This guy, who is an OT VII and "old" Class VI … [Read more...]
The OT Hype
A lot of this promotional item is pretty familiar territory. They tend to recirculate the "wins" because once you start saying "this handles everything in the universe forever" it is really hard to follow it with anything "less." So, every success begins to sound familiarly absurd. Just a few comments on this one in particular: if it were true that you handle "anything" with Solo NOTs "for eternity" what else IS THERE? Why would anyone then need to do OT VIII? Or more to the point -- why would anyone need to do Super Power or the Running Program? Much less Student Hat, Purification and … [Read more...]

Exclusive? How exclusive can it be when the person delivering the "briefing" is not even on Solo NOTs? Intriguing? Really? And she's "got" over 10,000 people up the Bridge? Must be some of the 2 billion that Tom Cruise has got into scientology A fact? What factual information do they have that they are creating an impact on the planet? Must see... A poster with more words in the copyright notice than in the text The magic of Source And the enchantment of Dan Sherman. Should be quite an evening of sleight of hand and … [Read more...]

Somehow this just seems wrong When are they going to hold a Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of The Hole? Nashville is not rocking This has been an "ideal" org now for SIX YEARS and they JUST got a CCRD auditor and C/S. So much for "clearing their area." And so much for the "lightning fast" training promised with GAG II in November 2013 when all the trainees went for their "short" training program. Monumental breakthroughs! Earth shaking I am sure. Where has TC's brother in law been all these months? Food, glorious food Seems this … [Read more...]
OT Gobbledygook
You can handled ANYTHING with Solo NOTs. Except your finances. Connection to your family. The ever-shrinking orgs of scientology. The terrible PR scientology has everywhere. And pretty much anything else. 3 DECADES of bypassed charge handled with his first drilling of a can squeeze! That is really something, especially after saying how wonderful and stable it is to be an "OT V." 1 Solo NOT's completion per day. OMG. At this rate, they will have 1000 every 3 years. 10,000 in THIRTY YEARS. They don't even seem to notice how bizarre their statements are. I … [Read more...]
Super Bowl Planning
Things are not going too well with the big plans for the Super Bowl. Though there are 3 ideal orgs and another "almost" in the Bay area SFO (actually two -- Day and Fdn), Stevens Creek, Mountain View and Los Gatos; and with the "massive international expansion" scientology has been experiencing since David Miscavige took the helm, rocketed with the advent of the Golden Age of Tech, after-burnered with the Basics, shot skywards with the Golden Age of Knowledge, exploded into hyperdrive with the Golden Age of Knowledge II and Super Power and launched to the stratosphere with the Golden Age of … [Read more...]

Find out what it's been like Seriously? It has sucked. No progress on anything since the "ideal CLO" and "ideal SH" and "ideal NN." A special guest speaker from CLO UK! Wow... Going to fly to Edinburgh tomorrow so I don't miss out. Just think how you would have kicked yourself if you had not taken the opportunity to attend what would have been the last David Bowie live performance... Making Human Rights a "reality" Sure... and how is that "movement" coming? What is it with fundraising for Edinburgh? Why does this org get so much more attention and help? You … [Read more...]
“Standard Tech” Fair Game
Funny how transparent scientology is. Under the guise of being "standard" and "on source" these clowns stumble and bumble around doing the most incredibly foolish things that invariably blow up in their faces. I recently received two separate emails, both containing the same text, though they concern two different people. Under the guise of conducting an "ethics interrogatory" the emails are intended only to create mistrust and worry about Glenn Samuels and Candy Swanson in the minds of the people that are the recipients of the emails. How can you tell these are not a real … [Read more...]
