There are no public to reg and no situation causes a greater state of terror on the mighty Sea Org flagship. Hitting an iceberg would cause less fear and panic Apparently even the tiny number of OT VII completions (5-10 per week) are not showing up at the Freewinds for OT VIII. So, how are they planning to solve their dilemma? By announcing they are inventing some service to convince people they should go to the Moneywinds to get "debugged" on going onto OT VIII. I guess they haven't put too much thought into this. It seems pretty clear to me that if they can get someone to agree to pa … [Read more...]

Be a genius... Avoid handing over anything for something so stupid. ASHO's finest This here is a proud ASHO Duke of the Book Reading Elite. Big News No doubt it will be monumentally epic if it's being announced by the "OT Alliance I/C" Hold the presses... It's even monumentaller than that. Two people are required to give it the gravitas it deserves. So, bring in the PES. Wonder what the org ED is doing on Saturday night? It's not big enough for him/her to make the announcement? In that case, I would give this one a miss... … [Read more...]
Moscow Ruling
The details are skimpy so far, but the essence of it seems to be that a Moscow City Court has ordered the church of scientology in Moscow to close up shop within 6 months for being in violation of business laws. They seem to conclude that scientology must be a business because the name (and other things) are trademarked. Tony Ortega has a pretty concise summary at his blog. This order will of course be appealed by scientology. And the last time the government in Moscow refused to register the church it eventually made its way to the European Court of Human Rights which sided with … [Read more...]

Ideal Emptiness They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Big empty "studio" is the perfect venue to disseminate about big, empty orgs... Oh Dear... Obviously, the COP is back in town and going to make a spectacular, epic, milestone, watershed announcement momentous sort of all-time thing at Graduation this week. He knew he couldn't leave it to these people to do it right, so though they had a special briefing in the "Board Room" a month ago, obviously things didn't take off like they should have. So, once again, He has to do it all himself. But wait a minute. There … [Read more...]

It's Halloween and the IAS Event all mixed up. There's a reg waiting for you behind every gravestone. Freddy Kruger and the Texas Chainsaw guy are movie characters. Those IAS regges are real. Makes for a week of fine funnies... There's nothing kids like more... I attended a local Halloween event where all local organizations and businesses were giving out Trick Or Treat candy. The CCHR tent gave them a DVD. They probably collected $20,000 to hand out DVDs which were all thrown in the trash. Distrubute... The Super Bowl is a fundraising opportunity … [Read more...]
Making A Living “Busting Psychs”
Our old friend Ken Kramer has gotten himself into the fundraising business. It seems to have become part of the ethnicity of being a scientologist. You can bet that he is making his living doing this. He found a little niche and is making a pitch for people to give him money to "destroy the psychs" -- he is a mini-IAS! And what better subject to get scientologists going than psychiatry. They are the ultimate boogeymen -- sent here from the planet Farsec to torture and maim the people of earth. The whole track implanters. The SPs that by nature of their diploma all want to do terrible … [Read more...]

Miscavige Damage Control
Well, I supposed this is the best he's got, even though it's more than 20 years old. A desperate attempt to try to burnish Dear Leader's sagging image... It's the annus horribilis. Going Clear, Going Clear Emmys. Let Him Die following his own father media blitz. Tony Ortega's book and Paulette Cooper. The Saldarriaga hacking scandal. Jim Jackson. Leah Remini's new book. Narconon's implosion. Louis Theroux. And things are not looking any better beyond next month. His recent go to image boost has been the "ideal orgs." But that is a failure -- cannot even get any new ones open when he … [Read more...]
