See the story just published in the Tampa Bay Times about the plans the church just filed with the city concerning the upcoming events. Of course, in typical fashion they submit them two weeks before the scheduled events, demanding over-the-top special treatment. The usual time for applications such as these is 30 days. They are asking for Ft Harrison Ave to be closed entirely from Friday to Sunday evening. And all sorts of sidewalk closures. If the city doesnt bow to their demands there will be squeals of "discrimination" echoing through the empty halls of the SP building. Chopping down … [Read more...]
Hyperdrive Hype
OK, the hyperbole is STRAIGHT UP AND VERTICAL!!!!!! With Exclamation Points!!!!!! Here are 3 examples that have come in in the last few days. They are a follow up to the posting from this morning. Rest assured, this insane hype is just a warm up for the tsunami of shit that is cascading out from Flag and all orgs and missions and everywhere else now that the dates of the most monumental events in recorded history have been officially announced by one of Voldemort's minions. But for warm ups, these are pretty awesome.... Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 From: Making ANZO IDEAL … [Read more...]
Scientology Offers A Hairless Hand Job
Could not resist the title. Just a laugh on a Sunday morning to accompany Tony Ortega's now highly anticipated "Sunday Funnies". This latest casting call would indicate they have not yet shot the needed footage for the release of the New (old) Mark Sooper 8 e-meter. Cannot imagine what else they would need a (hairless) hand model for. And as usual, at the last minute there is a frantic request for a shot the following day in Hemet. Typical RCS "planning."

Jobur Ideal Org and GAG II
Maybe the release of GAG II is going to solve the spelling/typo problems that seem to be endemic within the RCS. The old saying about not even being able to spell your own name right seems to be true, at least in the Ideal, SH Size org that is at the very dawn of a new civilization. Speaking of GAG II, the big announcement has now been made, and just in time to save the planet: GAG II is Friday 15 November through Sunday 17 November (gotta have some quality time to do this one right and hard sell all those meters and materials....) The IAS Event is Friday 29 November and the Patron's Ball … [Read more...]
AOSHUK Clearing the UK
This email is a bit dated now, but I have had so much other news to report it just didn't make it into the mix. But I looked at it this morning and it is enlightening in its own way BECAUSE it is now 3 weeks on. I am sure that 7 OT V starts in a week is the best they have done in a LONG time. But honestly, this is really pathetic. With an Ideal Org and SH size org in London and 6 other orgs in the UK, if this is the volume of "Bridge flow" that is occurring, it is sad that these people are SO excited about how they are taking the planet by storm because they had 7 starts in a week. And of … [Read more...]
Fact v. Fiction: A Tale of Two Websites
I don't normally follow statistics concerning this blog, as I am not trying to generate ad revenue (there are no ads:)). I provide this forum as a public service that I hope gets out information that might otherwise not see the light of day from within the bowels of the bubble. But the irrepressible Karen De La Carriere sent this to me yesterday and called me up and told me it was good news that people should know. I felt it was worth noting, not to beat my own drum, but to give hope to those of you who await the day when you may be reunited with friends or family who have been victim of the … [Read more...]
The Lions Roar in South Africa
You have heard rumblings over the last year of dissent in the ranks of the faithful in South Africa. A number of prominent figures have become fed up with the abuses and constant begging for money. Meanwhile the orgs are clearly going nowhere. We have had reports from correspondents in South Africa about the dismal state of Joburg Org and then the flop that was Pretoria "Ideal Org" and the empty Kyalami Castle "the home of the new AO" and much more. There are plenty of commenters on this and other blogs from South Africa, some of whom are known and some remain pseudonymous to protect their … [Read more...]
Attempted Damage Control
With Voldemort still playing hide the ball on the "Grand Opening"/GAG II/Super Power/IAS events, the damage control scrambling is full force. This email is an attempt to make everything seem "normal" (or at least as normal as it can be inside a bubble of babble). Two weeks in a row the promise of "we are announcing the date at the next graduation" has passed with no announcement. But continued dead silence only aggravates the problem. So yesterday Lauri Webster sends out an email trying to take everyone's attention off the elephant in the room and get them thinking instead about what … [Read more...]
Voldemort’s a No Show, His Tent is Too Big and His PI’s Are Religious Crusaders
Once again, Voldemort was a no-show at Graduation last night. Of course, the blind being led by the blindest explain this away with "He is so busy working to get everything right. You know how important this is and it has to be right because this is critical to the agonized future of every man, woman and child in this sector of the universe..." Perfection is the hallmark of "COB" -- so is never completing anything because it's not yet "perfect." But while the hypnotized and marching in lockstep, there are rumblings from an increasing number who are seeing this for what it really is -- an … [Read more...]
Pasadena “Ideal Org” Is Empty — Photo Evidence
A report from two Special Correspondents about the goings-on [or lack thereof] at the Pasadena "Ideal Org" with pix. Mad Hatter Studios called the OT Committee into the Pasadena "Ideal" Org for a shoot to "prove" the Org was booming. Well, Cheshire Cat Studios decided we needed to see for ourselves. We posted in the pub across the alley from the Org at 5:50PM on a Friday evening to catch the public leaving after course. Then had a leisurely dinner with a glass of wine as we waited for the 7:00 rush. It was an interesting wait. We could see clearly down the corridor that runs between th … [Read more...]
