The vultures are circling... "South Bay" sounds so much more gentrified... Not normally used to describe Inglewood -- more like Redondo Beach and Pacific Palisades. But no big surprise that Inglewood needs staff. Last I heard they had less than 30. About 2,000sq ft per person. Cross Order Alert I thought everyone was supposed to be at the PAC graduation tonight? CC doesn't seem to have the memo. But you gotta love the fact that the biggest celebrity the scientology Celebrity Centre has to promote on its "come to graduation" poster is Tony Muhammad the Nation of … [Read more...]

Surrounded by Suppression Another must miss event. Daphna really has a bee in her bonnet about all the "suppression" that is around. Maybe she has a computer and googled scientology? Those SPs are everywhere, just waiting to pounce! Again, why is an Advanced Org resorting to promoting a seminar delivered by an FSM? Where is Julian Shwartz? Isn't he the expert on handling suppression at AOLA? Arise Sir Knight Yes, that is John Danilovich, Captain AOSHUK waving a sword. Apparently the latest status in the UK is to kneel before John who touches the sword to your shoulders and … [Read more...]
Auditor’s Day — Signs Of The End
You know how unimportant this event is to Miscavige when: a. He is not in it b. It is not promoted as "the greatest event EVER" and "you do not want to miss this" and "everyone MUST be there to hear earth-shaking breakthrough in planetary clearing" c. There is no airbrushed image of a spaceship or explosion or world stamped with a scientology logo d. The promo only contains 4 single exclamation points Yet, if you were to read the quote, and many others like it, you could be forgiven for thinking that this should be the most important celebration in scientology -- perhaps after … [Read more...]
Schizo In ANZO
OK, so what are they doing down under? Things seem to have become a fundraising free for all. We have been seeing the "big push" on Auckland in New Zeland as the "next ideal org" and how everyone is in a big, happy, clusterfuck alliance to make it happen: Then Sydney gets in on the act because they haven't even been able to unload 500 "limited edition leatherbound Dianetics books" to get them "out of Non Existence." This does not make much sense when they have been an ideal org now for months and "everyone knows" that things go straight up and vertical the minute Dear … [Read more...]
Two More IAS Shills
Didn't L. Ron Hubbard say that auditors are the most valuable beings on the planet? So, why would an "on Source" scientologist who spent years training through CLASS VIII, be a full time reg for the IAS rather than a full time auditor? Does Kathy Feshbach have disagreements with LRH? These are the final two pages of the latest Impact magazine: And Kaye Champagne has clearly found a more lucrative job than selling rugs. Fundraising for "Ideal Orgs" and IAS. Doesn't anyone notice her pitch is about "planetary clearing" and that has absolutely nothing to do with the IA … [Read more...]
The Miscavige IAS Scam Rolls On
The latest edition of Impact magazine has been mailed out. It is a recounting of the magnificent IAS evening aboard the Freewinds. Of course, it highlights "Mr. David Miscavige" though these days they don't bother with identifying him in the 7 full page photoshopped pix featuring his new thin look. The weight of the world seems to be resting upon his shoulders and it is showing. This was a veritable shermanspeak orgy, and while I am not going to recount everything here, I am including his opening and closing statements for your reading pleasure (amazement?). If you cannot read these, … [Read more...]

Just to kick things off -- here is a recent Facebook posting about the newly formed Clearwater Postulate Guild (I kid you not): I really think these people need to touch bases with reality. But they had better be careful what they are "postulating" for as a Clearwater government that was "uptone" (ie not in fear) and made sane decisions vis a vis the church may not be to the liking of the "OT's" and their Postulate Guild. Before they start clearing anything down under, maybe they should start by clearing their MUs? Or at least getting an ideal spell checker. They didn't … [Read more...]
Greg Capazorio IAS Shill
Greg Capazorio was awarded an IAS Freedom Medal with a stirring video concocted by the Sherminator that made it seem that the Way To Happiness Campaign was integrated across the entire Gauteng Prison system in South Africa. Of course, as with most of these videos, it was, to put it kindly, a bit of an overstatement. To be accurate about it, it was more like a 90% fabrication. Some South African friends told me Capazorio was not even the primary mover for what was done (there was some WTH distribution and use). Perhaps one or more of them can enlighten us a little in the comments. And I … [Read more...]
Scientology’s View On Psychiatry
As I listened to Sylvia Stanard respond to a question about the scientology view of psychiatry at the Chauquatua conference (see at 1:19;45), I could not help but be amazed a the "spin" she sought to put on this. She claims that the church is only opposed to the "mind altering drugs, ECT and abuses in the field of mental health." An "acceptable truth" -- along with so many others she delivered that day -- but you have to wonder why when addressing a sophisticated audience of "thinkers and seekers" she didn't tell them the real truth? Why NOT explain the REAL beliefs of the church? No … [Read more...]
Objectives End Phenomena: Give More Money
A quick posting before a more important one this afternoon. A couple of comments about this particular piece: 1. It is a further indicator of the increasingly prevalent pattern noticeable in the "successes" that are published by the church where they expound the "party line". "Acceptable" success stories include statements that are known to be what the church wants. Either parroting the promo for the service ("I have a clear mind now" after the Purif or "my OT perceptions are amazing now I can sense the salinity of my blood" after Super Power) or it's something like this "I went 'to … [Read more...]
