Well, the "minutes" have become virtually useless. With no information included, they are certainly not going to inspire anyone into action... I let a few stack up and if I don't have anything urgent I publish them just for the sake of having a record. And letting OSA know that their efforts to prevent these from falling into the "wrong hands" are not going so well. Don't forget, this is the FLAG OTC -- the biggest and baddest of them all. And they have absolutely NOTHING to say other than announce a few completions (Student Hat? Objectives?) and some vague … [Read more...]
A World Without IAS
Today's delusion. Writ large and shouted from the rooftops. A Wonderful Life? Seriously? This lady is not just drinking the KoolAid she has one of those ambulatory IV's mainlining it 24/7. What would the world be like if there was no IAS? Hi, Quite a few of the staff have been fortunate enough to watch at least some of our upcoming IAS event video. One-for-one everyone who has seen the event has been blown away by the truly unbelievable impact we are having in the fight against psychiatry, drugs, crime not to mention general well-being with the Way to Happiness. What has been … [Read more...]
What Is The IAS Doing?
You will be very pleased to know that the IAS is now informing their public what they are spending their money on. BUILDINGS! Of course, the IAS doesn't waste money on things where there is no return. Buying buildings sounds reasonable, until you understand a) the building then becomes a church asset and b) in those areas that where the IAS is funding their ideal org building, people are EXPECTED to donate to the IAS "to purchase the building." Really, the IAS acts like a bank -- they front the money to buy the building (other people's money - just like a bank) and then they collect t … [Read more...]
Beggar’s Banquet At Flag
It's the MV Beggar's Banquet showing at Flag. And apparently everyone is in on the act to try to get the suckers to show and GIVE MONEY (and let us know you did so we can get the credit for it). Kevin True was a former RTC staff at Int who was busted and then sawed off some fingers on a table saw in the Gold garage when he was in the sleep-deprived zombie state of SO "deckies." Surprisingly, he has now made his way to being Solo Tech Services at Flag. More surprisingly, he is regging for the IAS? WTF? Solo Tech Services? It once again demonstrates that the ONLY pervasive activity of … [Read more...]
Some Church Fundraising Accounting
I assume this is a report about the fundraising event held at CC Int to raise money for Mario Fenninger. Ugh -- CC Int actually CHARGED the organizers for the use of their space -- for a "fundraiser." How typical of everything corporate scientology. Also goes to show -- they apparently failed to make up some statuses to "award" for giving money to this benefit, so they really didn't do too well. They also forgot to invite the Queen OT Empress Mayor Superstar Royal Highness of the Valley... Should have had her there guys. How silly of you. Also love the final gratuitous comment about … [Read more...]
Howard Becker Finally Realizes He Has Been Dead
Well, it seems there is one good thing to come out of Super Power. Howard Becker has finally realized what everyone who has ever dealt with him already knew. He has been a dead thetan for 45 years. A zombie in an animated body (even though he completed all those OT levels and L Rundowns and Objectives a few times and Purif and read all the "Basics" and and and....) Unfortunately, I am quite certain that this "realization" will not result in any change in his persona. You get a clue to what this is all about as immediately after this "cognition" he vows to keep on gouging money for the IAS … [Read more...]
The IAS Grows Big Beings
This is sort of sad. Put aside the crazy "Mega-Status" title if you can. These people, like so many others, actually believe they are doing good with the money they give to the International Association of Scavengers. But they are so deluded they actually believe they are being made into "Big Beings" by the IAS. It's devolved beyond mere status -- it's no longer a big gaudy bowling trophy or jewel encrusted lapel pin or some sort of title that sounds like it was torn from the pages of Buck Rogers, no, they have taken it to the ultimate level. This is not just causing "case gain" it is … [Read more...]
A Selection Of Idiocy From The Bubble
With the hype machine now churning out emails by the minute promoting the wonders of the "MV Events" there are some interesting notes in a random selection of emails that arrived over the last few days. CC kicks things off with Dave Petit pretty much running a standard "party line" though I wonder if he feels especially stupid repeating the lie that this is the 25th Anniversary of the Maiden Voyage that occurred in 1988? So typical of scientology these days -- Dear Leader canceled MV last year as he wasn't ready with GAG II and when he cancels something it is canceled with authority. June … [Read more...]
Selective Quotes
The selection of short, out-of-context LRH quotes is endemic in Radical Scientology promo materials. They need to somehow give the impression that what they are doing is based on LRH Policy. This is a struggle since any kind of fundraising other than selling services and books and meters was severely forbidden. This is a great example. Looking at this you would think that LRH is telling people to spend millions of dollars on new buildings. Read the promo and then read a next few sentences of the same policy. The actual policy states: By showing a good org mock-up, we … [Read more...]
I Thought The IAS Had This In Hand?
Remember Shake and Bake Flash's recent post about how the IAS is pulling off massive international dissemination, driving millions onto the Bridge. I guess it is happening everywhere but Houston. This candid email tells the truth about what life is like out there on the fringes of the bubble where they actually contact the public. While she dutifully offers the required worship of GAGII and the MV event with a tired sockpuppet "sock blowing" it gets real from there. Believe me, Houston is a microcosm of org and missions everywhere. Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014From: Mary Ann DurhamSubject: … [Read more...]
