This is now a bit old, but still telling. No international events: the only way Miscavige has to keep the sheeple convinced the scientology world is expanding faster than ever and that everyone wants Hubbard tech. Without the briefings, all they have is the evidence of what is happening in their own city, and that is invariably NOTHING. Those events are the propaganda machine that keeps scientology afloat. Without them, they must be hurting bad... You may recall they recently tried to substitute a video SuMP put together and call everyone in to watch it. They touted it as an … [Read more...]
Lies, Lies and More Lies
I had not seen this until perusing the scientology.org website today. Don't focus on the wonderful passage of classic Shermanspeak -- legendary times on the front porch of infinity indeed. No, try to put that out of your mind and note the claim -- apparently in response to the repeated exposure of the dwindling numbers at his events -- that the event was attended by a "record number" pegged at 6700 lost souls from 70 nations. Of course, this is quite a feat, given the capacity of the venue is Ruth Eckerd Hall that seats 2180 (slightly less with all the cameras and sound equipment … [Read more...]

David Miscavige-Divide and Rule
There is an old principle employed by Roman Emperors, “Divide and conquer/divide and rule.” This is an underlying theme of the reign of the Emperor of Scientology, David Miscavige. The basic idea is to keep various factions of your empire uninformed about the goings-on in other areas. Thus, no mass uprising can occur. You don’t want disaffection with the leadership to spread, if it arises anywhere, it must be stamped out immediately and at once and ensure no other area hears about it to plant seeds of discontent. George Orwell’s 1984 and the brilliant movie The Lives of Others detail methods … [Read more...]
