You may have heard about the decision of the city of New Haven to asses taxes on the vacant scientology "ideal org" building. For the first time in 14 years, City Hall has sent a property tax bill to the Church of Scientology for a long-vacant former furniture store in Westville Village. City Tax Collector Karen Gauthier confirmed that, as of July 1, the church owes $39,817.18 in property taxes for the two-story former Hallock’s at 949 Whalley Ave. That represents the first half of the Church of Scientology of Connecticut Inc.-owned property’s $79,742.36 tax bill for the fiscal y … [Read more...]
New Haven Completed Ideal Building Fundraising – An Ideal Org “Success”
I recently came across this promotional item from June 2014. Exactly a decade ago. New Haven hit a major milestone with the complete funding of their Ideal Org building purchase! But hold on, they actually PURCHASED their "ideal org" building in 2003. And Miscavige announced it very publicly on many occasions as “proof” his ideal org strategy was rolling full steam ahead. So, in 2003 they announce the “big news” the ideal org building has been purchased, then a decade later the next big news is that they completed the fundraising for the ideal org building purchase that had occurred 11 … [Read more...]
New Haven “ideal org”
Scientology is making headlines in a new article the New Have Independent. They have owned the "new" ideal org for 20 years -- yes TWENTY and have done NOTHING with it. It was one of the early announcement that Miscavige made, touting his "ideal org" program, and even had a "fly-through" CGI video showing what the renovated building would "soon" look like. This and the Battle Creek Michigan "ideal" building are probably the two oldest unrenovated ideal orgs (unless you count Toronto which has been there since before the ideal org kick even started). The locals are not impressed. Here … [Read more...]
The Continuing Saga of St Louis’ “Not Ideal” Org
An update from some ex-scientologists familiar with the failed efforts to make St. Louis "ideal." You may recall, we heard from them back in 2019 -- which I covered in a blog post St Louis Blues -- An Epic Ideal Org Scam Note: the other two orgs mentioned in that first para are still not close to becoming ideal either... And also remember, this is the organization that boasts they have the ONLY workable "management technology" on earth. Here is the update from our observers. The Church of Scientology bilked $17 million out of Scientologists to fund the St Louis … [Read more...]
This is Funny (and it’s Thursday)
The "Rebels for Freedom" are "riding" -- virtually! You must watch the video -- it shows a bunch of unknown bikers rolling down the highway to Steppenwolf 's"Born to be wild" and then cuts to various stills of old scientology-people in sunglasses trying to look tough/cool. Like they are bikers... It says there will be "Breaking news" from the Landlord Office that will "massively accelerate" the ideal org in New Haven. I can easily translate this: if you give more money, we will "accelerate" the New Haven "ideal org." But "acceleration" of this ideal org is an … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
One of these 3 didn't get the message Arms folded is the only way to go. All of them missed the memo about not smiling. Narconon not flourishing They are disappearing from the face of the earth.... We finally made 2 Clears We have to tell the world with a special promotional item because it's such a rare thing... Like really rare... So we made ANOTHER poster for the same person. The St Lucia Sickle Cell Association hasn't done their homework... Or they are just really hard up for a place to show a … [Read more...]

That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days? Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]
