If they consider THIS to be the Golden Age of Narconon, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the "Golden Age" moniker... Never in its history has Narconon been confronted with so many lawsuits resulting from deaths and abuses at its facilities. At no time has there been the volume of negative media coverage Narconon boasts today. The reputation of Narconon is at its lowest ever ebb -- so much so that Miscavige has attempted to revive it by opening "model" "celebrity" Narconons that have flashed into the pan and then gone black as fast as their ribbons have been … [Read more...]
Narconon = Scientology
This is an interesting piece from the Auditor magazine, the official chronicle of all things scientology: "if it isn't in the Auditor, it didn't happen" is the their motto. This is from back in the day before there was a conscious effort to distance Narconon from Scientology. Today, Narconon claims it is NOT Scientology. Scientology likewise claims all they do is "support" Narconon. This Auditor magazine story reflects the true nature of the relationship. They are not just in the same family, they are siblings. Maybe identical twins. Click on the image to enlarge: … [Read more...]
Narconon and Google Trends
Why Bother really got the ball rolling... Here is some further evidence of the complete fail of scientology's programs. Though there has been a decline in interest in "Drug Rehabilitation" and "Drug abuse", the in interest in Narconon is virtually non-existent. There were a couple of hiccups back in 2005 and 2007, but otherwise it looks like a snake on the freeway. Even the negative publicity brought about by the lawsuits against Narconon has had no effect. You could substitute Narconon for "parrot" in the famous Monty Python dead parrot sketch and be entirely accurate. Once again, … [Read more...]
The “Golden Age” of Narconon and Idealiness
Everything in scientology these days is about "ideal" and "golden age" -- terms that are bandied about constantly. Narconon is apparently experiencing a "golden age" that appears to be a measure of how many people die in their facilities, multiplied by the number of lawsuits filed against them, plus the total of zoning variance application rejections x inches of entheta media. It's straight up and vertical. Hip hip hooray. We have seen the magnificent "grand openings" of "ideal" Narconons in Clearwater, Baton Rouge and yesterday on the Bunker it was Eslov in Sweden -- apparently a one man … [Read more...]
Narconon — It’s “ALL New”
Seriously? They are going to hold a "Ribbon cutting ceremony" for the "new program introduction." I wonder what the "new program" could be? It's one of three things: The new program is off Source as the existing one is "in tech" The new program is on Source and the existing program is "out tech." It's no different -- after all, it's just the Purif, TR's and Objectives and some Life Improvement courses. How do you "revise" these things that are "totally on Source" as was announced earlier? My bet is on number 3. Or perhaps option 4 -- who cares because it doesn't really … [Read more...]
Narconon – Introducing Them To “Our Tech”
The big push is on -- open the unwanted Narconon "celebrity/VIP" centers across the world so Miscavige has something to talk about at the IAS Event. This is the latest. Narconon Ojai... It's been a long time coming, but the heat is on now, because it's just a month til the IAS event. Tony Ortega first reported on it way back in April 2014 (where I predicted it would be a Celeb/VIP Narconon)... And while Narconon, ABLE and the church scream like stuck pigs when the plaintiffs in the numerous lawsuits filed over abuses in Narconon claim they are part of "scientology" and are controlled by the … [Read more...]
It’s The Old Buy A Building Trick
After a lean period in the ideal world, things are hopping again. Rabbits are being pulled out of the hat once more to prove that the massive international expansion that COP keeps talking about is real. They are now promoting "5 ideal org in 4 months" and "We are opening an ideal org every month for the rest of the year and have just opened Tokyo and Bogota then it will be Harlem, Milano and Atlanta." Of course, this is typical scientology math. If they open these 5 ideal orgs by the end of this year, it will be 5 in 6 months, not 5 in 4. Bogota was opened in July. But what's a little … [Read more...]
The 30th Anniversary IAS Event
We have already reported about the downgrade of the IAS Event - see The IAS Event Is Already A Bomb from 8 October. It is one thing to downgrade the 30th Anniversary of the IAS celebration to the parking lot on LRH Way, but its a total train wreck when the Flag event is suffering a similar, even more ignoble downsizing. They are not going to be holding this event at the Ruth Eckerd Hall but instead at the Fort Harrison.... The Auditorium there holds 1500 people. They claim to have more STAFF than this and "2000 people from out of town on service at any given time" PLUS 12,000 sc … [Read more...]
We ARE Responsible For Narconon Activities
This is not going to please Dear Leader. He is desperately trying to escape from HIS announcements that the church IS responsible for all sectors (yes, that INCLUDES NARCONON). Ruh roh. Someone needs to get fitted for a black boiler suit. BTW, love the "across it is entire geographic..." … [Read more...]
Recruiting For The Empty Ideal NN UK
A plea for recruits for Narconon. And every position on the org board is vacant it seems.... This UK Narconon Model Center is becoming very reminiscent of the UK ideal orgs. Empty rooms. Straight up and vertical, massive international expansion seems to have slipped by the UK too.
