And they are coming in force, because Flag is empty. I guess they don't have anyone to keep them busy AT Flag, so they are sending TWENTY TWO people to LA to be the "Flag World Tour." Twenty two people in addition to the 20 or so that are in the FSC WUS Office. Here is a recent message that was sent out. Hello! With the release of the Golden Age of Tech Phase II, there has never been a better time to come in and get moving on your route to Clear and OT. As it is my intention to see that you make it all the way, and to help you get there, the Model Ideal … [Read more...]
Flag Stats
One of our Special Correspondents took the time to take the Mintzmeat announcements over the last year and turn the stats into graphs. While these stats do not reflect every week, they are a representative cross section of the stats over time. The numbers across the bottom simply represent the number of weeks worth of stats that have been collected -- they are not sequential. It is 22 weeks over the last year. The weeks shown on the graphs as 0 are in fact "No Reports" and you can conclude from that the stats were not good for that week. Remember also, Mr. Mintzt tended to put out the … [Read more...]
What IS “Cause Resurgence”?
Now, remember, out in the real world, we KNOW what this "rundown" consists of. But in the scientology bubble, it is "confidential" and is not mentioned unless you have paid your entrance fee and are ushered into the special floor of the SP building, where you are then told that this "OT Rundown" consists of.... Running in circles. Literally. For a few weeks. There is nothing else. You are told to run around a fixed object. And to keep running. Now read this latest Mintzmeat hype and realize they are charging people $5,000 to do this (not including what they charge … [Read more...]
Flag Is Limp
Jeff Mintz is not as regular as he once was, and for a while I thought he had been given the permanent heave-ho. It's a terrible thing when "good news" turns up on this blog as proof of stagnation. Then, after a month of silence, the FSC San Jose stole his thunder and put out the Mintzmeat(tm) report from herself. She even stole his format, but changed it from blue to red (Mintz had changed "Good News" to "Late Breaking News" probably because of how much fun we had with his "good news" but Ms. Dodwell seems oblivious for now). As always, I have added the latest figures to the end of the … [Read more...]

Who can you trust? I would hazard a guess that it's probably not someone that doesn't identify themselves in the ad they place... Creepy This poster just creeps me out. And why is it that LA Org doesn't have anyone other than a "Pre GAT II" Class IV? How demeaning is this... Reserve the date... Rabid Clive will be back in town to brief on the progress towards the target of 10,000 people on, through or declared while auditing Solo NOTs. Should be quite a wild show. What Does It Take? I wonder what "It" … [Read more...]
Flag’s “Late Breaking (No Longer Good) News”
After months of publishing his "Good News" briefings in inverted commas, Jeff Mintz has now changed the title to "Late Breaking" news. Whatever he wants to call it -- it's a really poor show. He might as well take the same figures every week and just change the date. This is LOOOONG term flat (Emergency condition). Month after month. And if there was any international expansion happening in scientology, it would have shown up at Flag by now. After all, it's nearly twenty years since the "Golden Age Of Tech" and more than a decade since the "Ideal Orgs Strategy" and more than a year since … [Read more...]
Flag’s Latest Good News
An appropriate question for Mr. Mintz. Flag is just limping along, with every stat he reports either downtrending or level long-term. No doubt he doesn't notice. He just thinks 8 Clears and 8 OT VII's a week is "good news" so keeps sending it out. And as long as it has a heading saying it's good news, everyone apparently buys it. Explains why so many people were sent from Flag to try to boost the ideal Pacifica Bridge. Compared to the earlier posts, this is how the stats look (these figures are earliest weeks first, these latest reports added to the … [Read more...]
The Upper Class Twit Of The Year Announces The End Of War
OK, I have chronicled some pretty strange things on this blog, but I believe John Mappin has now succeeded in ascending to the pinnacle of arrogant foolishness. He has overcome all competitors and stands alone as the most out of touch and bizarre example of the effects of scientology KoolAid. Below you will see a screen shot of his facebook page and I then reprinted his entire Facebook posting below, highlighting in red some of the more bizarre things within it and including a few parenthetical comments of my own in blue. He is apparently someone the church of scientology is proud to have … [Read more...]

The "new" Purif. Firstly, there is the MEST. There is no "secondly".... $14 Million later -- this is Orange County "Ideal Org" Looks like they can't afford to keep the lights on.... What a forlorn looking place. And how appropriate -- fundraising for the celebration of the anniversary of the OC idle morgue opening. The sun never sets on Scientology fundraising.... Hello there! I'm writing to you as the fundraising IC for the OC Anniversary party! Did you know that every year the OT … [Read more...]
More Flag “Good” News
Some more stats from our good friend Jeff Mintz. And as always he announces these as "Good News" but frankly, they tell a sad tale. 2700 Cornerstone members (see Bruce Roger email at end of post) and after nearly a year, only a third of those that ante'd up tens or hundreds of thousands for the privilege of being "first in line" have actually showed up to take the service... If you break down these Super Power stats, it is clear this is a financial disaster. If 75% of the Super Power delivery is to previously paid Cornerstone members (which is probably a conservative estimate), at … [Read more...]
