Dan Koon sent me this link last night with a comment: " I am positive that DM would die of jealousy if he ever saw this." This morning your assignment is to read this article entitled "20 Things I Learned While I Was in North Korea". It is a sobering , but very worthwhile exercise. You will see plenty of parallels between Corporate Scientology and the Ideal Country of North Korea. This is a picture of the end result of the attempts to control everyone inside the bubble. The control of information. The regimentation of thinking. The punishment for stepping out of line. The massive marble bu … [Read more...]
Random Facebook Mutterings from The Bubble
Some random thoughts from the Scientologists FaceBook page. The tension is mounting. They are getting giddy with excitement. I must credit Miscavige. This is a real PT Barnum effort. The gullible masses are drooling just waiting for Him to tell them how much money that have to turn over this weekend. The comments alongside the photo are reproduced below for your reading pleasure.... History in the making! Brown-nosing 101. Gary Wattman is a master. I wonder if he would still be gushing if he heard what "COB" said about him.... 1000 remaining local Sci … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts from Inside and Outside The Bubble
Register Now. Or Be Shot. Or Something.... The schizoid ballet being danced by Big Brother over attendance at the Single Most Important Event In The History Of The Universe(tm) is rather amusing to watch. While many Special Persons have reported being contacted to attend (clearly ALL stops are off on the call-in for this -- people who have heard nothing for years are suddenly being told to come on down), the other side of the coin is the paranoia that an "unacceptable person" may get in. Many reports that people trying to attend have been told to "report to your local HCO" when applying f … [Read more...]
Scientology Epitaph — Give Us Your Money. Now.
Even though the building is officially complete, you can STILL give us money and pretend you contributed to making it happen. We will ALWAYS be happy to take your money and tell you anything you want to hear -- even inscribe your name on the COMPLETED building as if you helped "make it happen." The big selling point is not "we need to build a building" but "you can still buy some status if you buy now!" Crass is hardly an adequate description. This will be engraved on the headstone of Scientology Inc. GIVE US YOUR MONEY. NOW WE TOOK IT. NOW THERE'S NOBODY … [Read more...]
Dror Center One Year Later
Our Israeli Special Correspondent sent in this report. In light of events in Joburg, it seemed particularly appropriate to hear how things are going in Haifa. It’s been a little over a year since Dror Center of Haifa, Israel left the Church of Scientology. Their departure in July 2012 made big news and was reported by Marty Rathbun and here. DrorCenter left ‘en masse’ following the ‘declare’ of Tami and Dani Lemberger, the founders of DrorCenter. Their story was covered in the media, by Tony Ortega and by the leading Israeli newspaper, Haaretz. I visited the Dror Center and was greeted b … [Read more...]
The Corbetts Ideal Org Rape
I know many readers here have taken to following the new "African Scientologists Getting Back In Comm" blog. There is a post there today that everyone should read. "Here is their story: Ernest and Gaye Corbett" is perhaps the most damning expose of what is so wrong with the "Ideal Org Program" that has yet to see the light of day. And it comes from two people who were, for many years, without question THE single biggest supporters of the church and the Ideal Org Program in South Africa. The lies and strong arm tactics employed against them are described in some detail. THIS is supposed to … [Read more...]
Tom Cruise and Disconnection
There is a rash of media articles following the disclosure of parts of Tom Cruise's deposition in the lawsuit he filed against a magazine for saying he "Abandoned" Suri. The media is of course focused on the sensational aspects, including the fact that while he apparently didn't have time to visit Suri he flew from the US to the UK for the annual IAS Event to show his support for his BFF. I read the excerpts of his deposition that are on the internet and was struck by the arrogance he displayed in responding to the questioning. Very reminiscent of his BFF. He snapped terminals with Dear … [Read more...]
Counter In-tent-ion Update — The Circus is Coming to Town
Charlie Frago of the Tampa Bay Times has provided a new update on the requirements the church has to meet to satisfy the city for the GAG II/Sooper Power weekend of over-the-top back-patting and self-congratulations that the planet is at last now being cleared by a building. Looks like the city is basically allowing the church to close off Fort Harrison to hold the ribbon cutting. This is good news for all outside observers. Glimpses will be had of the magnificent celebrations, what He has to say will be heard ringing through the streets of Clearwater for believer and non-believers alike, … [Read more...]
The Sheeple Are Hyperventilating With Hype
Here is a random selection of recent hype from a variety of sheeple. What is interesting to note about these people and their comments is how well they duplicate what they are fed. They have been trained to hear and see things from "authority" and then regurgitate it as if it was their own thought. There is not much comment required, but I, as is my wont, have included a few: From: MarcB Registrar <[email protected]>Date: Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 11:12 AMSubject: Whoooooo Hoooooo!! Here We Go People!! : )To: MarcB Registrar <[email protected]> Ok... I jus … [Read more...]
David Wilson Never Disappoints
This guy, apparently an "OT VIII" has lost his marbles. He is a complete wackjob. Certifiable. And yet he sits in the front row of Voldemort events and has his photo taken being presented with his status "trophies." It just proves once again that Scientology exclusively confers status on those that give the most money. It is the ONLY criteria by which anyone is judged. Gordon Gecko would be proud. Honestly, this is kind of uncomfortable to watch.
