In the recent FBI Docs release, there are copies of these documents from the "RPF Insider." I had not seen them before, but they can be found on xenu.net. There are a dozen of them, and they make for interesting reading. This enormously detailed (and accurate) information about the RPF Prison Camp in Los Angeles documents the abuse dished out to members of the Sea Org as a routine. He (or she) asks that health and safety inspections be done, describes how all their ID and personal documents are confiscated, locks put on fire doors so they can't escape, lack of health care and on and on. … [Read more...]
Mission Fundraising Failing
Things are desperate in the scientology world. A mission in the heart of scientology's only real stronghold — Clearwater is confined strictly to Flag while there are numerous orgs in the SoCal area and more scientologists there than anywhere in the world — this Mission is halfway between Valley and Pasadena ideal orgs and a few miles from "dissemination central" at SuMP and Big Blue. If they cannot survive living off auditing and training there, it's not going to happen anywhere. And a second one came in from Brand Blvd Msn which has got to be a little bit embarrassing when you read t … [Read more...]

Freedom for all California... One more empty building and California will be free at last! Not a chance ANYONE actually buys this. But the rah-rah seems to impress. No we don't Not a one has EVER come back Nothing quite like "Big Blue" It's ugly, dirty and empty. The celebration may be memorable, but not for the right reasons. They're trying to sound fancy... If you have ever been to the "PAC Canteen" you will understand the crazy of them serving "lobster tail" Scientology Thanksgiving Not only are they NOT providing … [Read more...]

There are some real gems in this one "Dr." Hubbard, the nuclear physicist expounds on his understanding of radiation. Basically, as long as you gulp some vitamins and get some auditing it can't hurt you.... State of the Nation... What to look for? When to act? What ARE they blabbering about? Meaningless words Wonder what dimension they are operating in? The world? Nobody in Perth even knows you exist. How about starting there? The planet gets a little saner? A butterfly in the Amazon flapping its wings … [Read more...]
Michael Silverman
Michael Silverman was a much beloved figure at AOLA for many years spanning the 70's, 80's and into the 90's. This is the only photo I could coax out of him, but for those who knew him back then, apart from being follicle challenged, this smiling face looks just the same as I remember it at AO. Michael reached out to me and asked that I publish his thoughts about his life in the Sea Org and scientology. I am more than happy to do so. Hello Mike. I have occasionally read bits of postings over the years and feel compelled to post something significant that may help others bo … [Read more...]

Reverend Freddie Firing Em Up in the Fatherland Raise your havingness so you can give your money to me. Why does anyone care what he has to say about Havingness? It's a Celebration Until the regges greet you at the door.. Preventing the world from being destroyed Now THAT'S a Success Story! Totally vague and totally meaningless. But eh, let's publish it anyway like it's really good! Not So Mighty My Mammy The letter B is completed! 2 down only 24 to go... Big turnout This is the org LRH can count on. And … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
For the record. These have been accumulating for a while. The Special Correspondent who so diligently forwards these to me noted that it is interesting to look at these over time as you can see the false promises and pitches roll out and the things that are said in March that will happen in April go by without comment and then you start seeing new targets on the same thing in June. It is truly the donkey with the carrot on a stick -- the only difference being the donkey is being ridden by vampires that inexorably suck the blood out of it, til it falls to the wayside and they jump on a new … [Read more...]
AOLA Is Booming!!
Once again, out of the mouths of babes... No wonder the "command team" in PAC was replaced. And interestingly, in this era of unprecedented expansion, the "ideal" AO executives in AOSHUK and AOSHEU have also been "replaced." I guess these "ideal" AO's aren't doing too well. And the proof of it is contained in this message from AOLA. The "ideal" AOLA has a single course room where they deliver Student Hat, PTS/SP, the Basics AND the Solo Course. Back in the day it would have been unthinkable to have anything else delivered in the Solo Course room. Let alone a "basics" and … [Read more...]

HUGE News! But then again, has there EVER been a scientology event that is not huge, epic, monumental blah blah blah Of course, the huge news is: a) we need your money now and b) you need to get busy on our backlogged CF. Speaking of CF Tampa is still working on theirs. And they are taking things to "light speed" -- everything except their filing backlog I guess. That is going at "snail's pace." Emptiness But they tried to make it look like there are people by having a CGI image of an image of people running through the org... What … [Read more...]
AOLA is Circling the Drain
You may have noted my mention yesterday that all the "ideal" PAC execs were replaced in one fell swoop. I guess being "ideal" doesn't mean much after all. Of course it IS the brilliant COB strategy for clearing the planet, but any way you slice it, it's a shit sandwich. The public are bled dry. It is the subject of endless filler material for events and magazines showing empty rooms of CGI "buildings." But it is especially shitty if you are an executive in one of these "ideal" orgs. You can imagine the make-wrong "You have a $20 million building and your stats are down? What sort of thanks … [Read more...]
