It is sometimes interesting to look back at promises made in earlier years. This is some empty hype from 2014 that reads the same as their bs pitches today. They start with offering that “12 important opinion leaders” were “introduced” through the “L. Ron Hubbard Series” (NOT “LRH books”) and then one unnamed leader talked about The Way to Happiness (not supposed to be promoted as an “LRH book.”).

If these books actually had ANY impact (which they don't) they should be being placed in the library of the Kremlin -- the people of Ukraine are victims of the aggression of Russia. Unless they … [Read more...]

Wonder why these guys who are so good aren't 10X the success of the orgs? Instead of being on course? Oh my.... Unites? This is the big IAS event this year? Wow The First Ideal Continent... Just Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane to go for an ideal "Continent" -- but not a single org in India, China, Indonesia etc. Seems just a little bit of a hollow … [Read more...]
