Peter Bonyai sent me a copy of a Hungarian facebook posting that lists the prices the FSO is charging for Super Power. It is interesting to see how much they are gouging public for the privilege of receiving this rundown designed for staff. Here is a translation: 0. There is a 5000 USD base cost (officially, to cover the costs of the perception drills, which are not subtracted from the intensives). One also gets special clothing for this, which can be kept. Apparently, 50 Sea Org members are assigned to the delivery of these drills. 1. Medical clearance is needed … [Read more...]

Super Power Isn’t So Sooper
Wow, if this is all they have to show for 15+ years, hundreds of millions invested in this building, and virtually unparalleled hype, its pretty tragic. And what is so amazing to me is how they keep giving actual stats as if they are worth shouting about? 15 Super Power Completions in a week? At the ONLY place on earth that can deliver it? So EVERY scientologist on planet earth that wants the most hyped service ever MUST come to Flag? And they are completing 15 per week and there have now been over 800 completions since release?? Stop to catch your breath for a minute whoever is … [Read more...]
Running Program Hype
Following are 4 of the 10 pages devoted to the Running Program in the new Source Mag. It is an interesting study in hype and mystery. People are paying a lot of money for this "rundown" which literally consists of "running" around in circles. There is NOTHING ELSE done on the Running Program, or "Cause Resurgence Rundown" as it is called in the promotion. There is nothing wrong with this per se. People pay money for gym memberships and run around too. And I don't doubt that it has positive benefits for those that choose to participate. Not sure whether they are really more positive … [Read more...]
More Bust Exposed Plus Bonus
Here are some new "stats" from Flag proving once again, the great boom is a big bust. Flag, like the rest of the scientology orgs, is on a kamikaze death dive. The big push at Flag is now on Purif and "Survival Rundown" completions. 4 times as many of them as Clears. Double the number of Super Power completions. The volume is pitiful for a $150 million dollar building and 1500 claimed SO staff... They claimed to have 200 Super Power Auditors. If they are completing 20 per week, this means the vast majority of these auditors are sitting idle -- which is confirmed by the latest Flag OTC … [Read more...]
Super Power Win “Feeling the Bacteria On My Skin”
This is a classic example of the over-the-top insanity that is born and nurtured inside the bubble. If this woman said "I am feeling better and more able to confront life" everyone (myself included) would simply wish her well. There may still be some who think she is crazy for announcing any "wins" from scientology, but generally normal people would be happy for her to be finding herself in a better place in life. But to assert nutty stuff like she does is only proof that she is simply pandering to the captive audience who all know what she is doing and nod their heads in agreement, not b … [Read more...]
The March 13 Event Was A Total Bust
The "March 13" edition of the International Scientology Nonsense (ISN) has just arrived in mailboxes everywhere. A bit tardy, but one could understand: 146 glossy, 4 color pages of Shermanspeak stream of consciousness is a bit of a task to put together. Though all it does is repeat the contents of the March 13 Event held at the Ruth Eckerd Hall (after 20 years, one would assume that the straight up and vertical expansion would have outgrown Ruth Eckerd Hall that only holds 2300 people...) Of course, reduced to the written page this stuff sounds even stupider than when it is accompanied by … [Read more...]
Freewinds Desperate For Anyone To Show Up
Seems the massive international boom being generated by the Golden Age of Tech, the Basics, the Golden Age of OT, the Golden Age of Knowledge, the Div 6 phase, Ideal Orgs, Golden Age of Tech II, the power of the IAS, Super Power, Cause Resurgence Rundown, Ideal SO Orgs, Ideal Pacifica Bridge, the International Dissemination Center, the International Media Center, the largest relief force on earth, 10+ million Scientologists and 11,000 Scientology orgs and missions are not resulting in anyone showing up at the Freewinds. With all this expansion happening, there should be a steady flow of … [Read more...]
Golden Age Of Fundraising
Now that the Garcia's have forced the opening of the SP Building, they are moving on to new false promises of what will accomplish planetary clearing. This time, it is the "LRH Hall." But note the admission about the "success" of the SP Building and the people "pouring in" from "all over the world" for GAG II ...comparatively, this is still a trickle that will soon reach epic flood proportions. You just have to wonder WHEN any of these future epic floods and planetary clearing juggernauts ever come to pass? Don't these people notice? And now The Next Big Thing is that you have to give us … [Read more...]
Random OT Committee Stork Mail
These random hushmails arrive down the chimney and I dont always have time to even read them. But eventually I publish them as a matter of record as they contain a useful history of the shrinking of the bubble. The panic has really set in at Flag -- he is at the OTC meeting handing out lists of local BUSINESSES and the OTC members are responsible for getting them to get their staff in and onto courses or auditing. This email needs to be preserved if only for this reason -- as evidence in the next lawsuit filed by an employee of a business that is forced to do Scientology as a condition of … [Read more...]
