See most recent post: Scientology’s Cowardly Celebrities. Along with those celebrities is the other category of major enablers who remain conspicuously silent in the face of the abuses; the financial supporters, especially the "Whales." Here is a list of the biggest supporters of the IAS Not by any means complete and it excludes anyone who has given less than $1 million (there are many). Most of those named below have also give a lot of cash to the “Ideal Org,” L. Ron Hubbard Hall, Planetary Dissemination, “4th Dynamic: campaigns” and various other fundraisers. The figures are just their … [Read more...]
Freedom Medal Winners Become Fundraisers
This guy, like so many other IAS Freedom Medal winners, got awarded for accomplishments in “disseminating scientology” - and promptly stopped those activities and started being a fundraiser for the IAS. There are literally dozens of Freedom Medal winners who promptly vanished from the scene, most of whom only appear to raise money for the IAS. From the “disseminators” to the “psych busters” (and if you added up their supposed accomplishments, psychiatry should be a distant memory at this point as they have "shut down" psychiatry in so many places everyone has lost count) to the “Way to Ha … [Read more...]
“Solve it with Scientology”
Hurricane Debby reminded me of the original Hurricane Debbie -- Debbie Cook's email that rocked the scientology world on 1 January 2012. In addition to other points she laid out, Debbie highlighted Hubbard's insistence that scientology NOT engage in "fundraising" but sell and deliver Dianetics and Scientology as the only way to success. Here are some Hubbard quotes Debbie cited: From HCO PL Org Ethics and Tech: “GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS FROM SCIENTOLOGY in your org. Baby-sitting or raffle tickets and such nonsense.” From HCO PL Org Programming: “If the org slumps… don’t engage in ‘fu … [Read more...]

Isn't that amazing! They went from nobody to 5 people in the org -- an increase of 100000000% You have to wonder that scientologists don't cotton on to the fact that the Birthday Game is completely rigged. It is a propaganda tool to make it appear the ideal org program is a success. It's in the "small chapel" Obviously this guy doesn't draw much of a crowd even when a free dinner is offered. Camp Theta? Send your 15 to 19 year olds to be indoctrinated into scientology You do NOT want to miss it... So much for obliterating, … [Read more...]

UK Protest Causing Stir
The Guardian ran a piece about the UK protest at St Hill coinciding with the IAS event. This was also picked up by Newsweek. This is clearly not good news for the COB and scientology. The piece not only talks about the protest but brings up the lawsuits Miscavige is named in as well as the Danny Masterson conviction. Scientology responded in oh-so typical fashion -- they are the victims being harassed and the "Apostate Alex" is a nobody they have never heard of... Scientology told the Guardian the UK protest was harassment “orchestrated by an anti-Scientologist who e … [Read more...]
We Will Take Your Money… But Don’t Show Your Face
Meet the Andrus family -- minus their patriarch, Brian. You might remember Brian Andrus, he is the unindicted co-conspirator who was recently involved in scientology's latest land grab scheme in Clearwater. But before that, he is one of the most notorious ex-GO criminals, as I laid out in that previous blog post. He was directly involved in the kidnapping of Michael Meisner to keep him away from the Grand Jury and FBI. He epitomizes what scientology proclaimed were the "rogue elements" and "criminals" who were purged from scientology after they were "discovered." In fact, many of them … [Read more...]

For a minimum donation of $25... We will teach you how to find a 2D! Using the Hubbard technology that guided him through 3 marriages, estranged children, lawsuits, abandoned wives and so much more.

Ron Hubbard in his "What Your Fees Buy" But it's nice that you get a "Team Player" award... That's a classy touch. Join staff in Austin Org Because there are lots of people who HOME SCHOOL (caps theirs) … [Read more...]
4 New Ideal Orgs?
I included this Facebook message in my post yesterday concerning the fact that Captain Miscavige was at Flag on New Year's Eve delivering this briefing. I did not make mention of other significant things she mentioned. A new IAS status -- Patron Diamond Maximus with Honours. What comes next? They're running out of idiotic titles, every new one they come up with sounds more and more like a Monty Python skit. Another Super Bowl ad! Woohoo. They have been SOOOO effective. And the sheeple think they are being seen across the nation "A billion people watch the Super Bowl so that means a … [Read more...]
