Remember when the LRH Birthday Game was about giving LRH the birthday gift he wanted? Org Expansion... Well, like a lot of other things in Miscavige Corporate Scientology, there's a new sheriff in town and the organization is being modeled in his image. Of course, there is no grand announcement that "the old birthday game is no more" it's more subtle. Like "Command Intention" morphed from "LRH intention" to "COB intention" and Miscavige gradually assumed the role of "finder of lost tech" to "refiner of tech" to … [Read more...]
Golden Age of The Vulture Culture
This "success"/ IAS promo piece/COB PR release was recently sent to me. While I am sure Kathy Feshbach had wins, there is a huge elephant sitting in the middle of her gushing wonderment at the brilliance of COB. How can an OT VIII, Class VIII "Full Golden Age of Knowledge" completion conclude that the most valuable thing for her to do is be a full time reg for the IAS? I guarantee you in everything she studied there was not A SINGLE MENTION of the IAS. I guarantee you also that she missed a whole lot of references to the value of auditors and auditing. Somehow … [Read more...]
The BS Beat Goes On — Portland. Seriously?
More utter bs from the Ideal Org Hype Machine. It is interesting to see how they position things. Using a random LRH quote -- which either comes from RJ 28 or an SO #1 letter. Clearly some words of expressed support, like "I am counting on you to make Portland the first Scientology city." This is now turned into a declarative statement that THIS is what LRH wanted. (If so, why in 30 years hasn't anything been done to make it happen). Portland is also, of course, the "home" of "our" Religious Freedom Crusade... Yes, it also the home of the Mission that "serviced" Julie Christofferson t … [Read more...]
The Ideal Org Trickle Down
Today in Radical Corporate Scientology, the modus operandi is "do what I do, not what I say (or what LRH says)". "Command Intention" trumps everything -- policy, tech, common sense and common decency. Which is why fundraising has become the primary activity in the Scientology world. Ideal Orgs. Super Power Building. IAS. Library Campaign. Planetary Dissemination. Psychbusting. The list goes on, in the face of specific and repeated policy forbidding it. As a result, now you see prominent "OT Committee" members following the "Ideal Org" pattern to raise funds for their local "community group." … [Read more...]
More on David Miscavige Style Planetary "Clearing"
by Mike Rinder Having tortured myself Clockwork-Orange-style into watching a few hours of Shermanspeak® at the 2012 Maiden Voyage, I have a few observations. David Miscavige’s “Ideal Org strategy” is (no surprise) a complete bust. He has banked everything on “Ideal Orgs” and the IAS. So, in the age tested manner of a really good ser fac, he will go on proving the “rightness” of this insane strategy until he is dead right. Thus, his manic efforts to make it appear that “Ideal Orgs” are “straight up and vertical” by showing tortured, misleading “stats” (more on that later). But, through the smok … [Read more...]
How Miscavige Plans to "Clear the Planet"
by Mike Rinder Here is the latest poster put out by the RCS (copyrighted to CSI who are apparently now the main fundraisers for the IAS). It consists entirely of a quote from Chairman Mao that perhaps is more candid than he intended. He clearly delineates HIS strategy for planetary clearing. It doesn't involve training or auditing or Grade Charts or anything so messy and difficult that would require actual DELIVERY. The "IAS" is going to "Clear The Planet" -- hip hip hooray for the IAS. Hip hip hooray for "Chairman of the Bored" of Scientology Inc. (inclusive of the IAS and every other e … [Read more...]
The Way To Happy Profits
by Mike Rinder Here is today's example of Corporate Scientology blood sucking. Dear ******, I just received the following announcement from the Bookstore Officer AOSH UK and wanted to help back this up: "This year the Olympic Games are going to be held in London, England - starting 27th July, ending on 12th August. There will be an estimated 6.5 million people in attendance from over 200 nations. "In 2010, at the Football World Cup in South Africa, copies of the Way to Happiness booklet were distributed throughout the crowds resulting in it being proclaimed as the least violent Wo … [Read more...]
"Only Scientology Law Applies" – Radical Corporate Position
UPDATE SATURDAY A.M.: VILLAGE VOICE WEIGHS IN By Mike Rinder At the same time Miscavige’s minions rushed into court in Texas attempting to enforce their unconscionable “contract” with Debbie Cook, they sang a different tune in Pinellas County, pleading that courts have no jurisdiction in matters of religion. See the article by Joe Childs and Tom Tobin reporting on today’s hearing (which occurred coincidentally with the hearing in Texas): Lawyer tells judge: “Only Scientology law applies.” The Tampa Bay Times report is accurate and objective. There is no doubt a great deal of law indicates cou … [Read more...]

Miscavige's Idle Fraud – Taiwan
by Mike Rinder Some of you may recall the Taiwan "Ideal Org" building, purchased by the IAS in 2005 accompanied by much fanfare and hoopla from POB himself about this being the first org in China. You may recall the CGI fly-through showing the grand lobby and the courserooms and auditing rooms. 100% smoke and mirrors. Below are some shots taken within the last month of that building. Not only is there still NO org, the building has sat empty since it was purchased 6 years ago. And every year since then the IAS has paid the taxes on the building because the Mission cannot afford to pay the … [Read more...]
