What's Next? One thing for sure -- it will involve taking your money. All of it. Craig Mathieson? Been in the SO for 40 years and doesn't have a post worth mentioning? And they can't figure out who their top technical terminal is? Moneywinds Someone has been reading this blog and forced them to do a token promotional piece that doesn't talk about making money. But how unreal can you get? Learn how to throw the switch to light a universe? Who is going to teach them that? Mountain View Juggernauts Now renamed the Mountain View Juggernoughts.

Valley Org OTC Minutes — Beating A Dead Horse
The wind has definitely gone out of the sails of the most important ideal org in the world. They have plans to "kick off" the latest fundraising plans... But with just a handful of people who show up, one can imagine why the "GI" is 0. More evidence of the massive international expansion and straight up and vertical world of scientology. This is another piece of evidence of the true state of scientology. MINUTES VALLEY ORG OT COMMITTEE MEETING February 2, 2016 Note: The minutes are for the sole use of Valley OTC members. All members receive a copy. Please do not forward the minutes t … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
Because I feel lazy this morning, I am just dumping some Valley OTC minutes without comment so there is a record of them. Remember, this is THE MOST IMPORTANT ideal org in the world.... Have a nice Sunday everyone. Rejoice in the fact that you are no longer stuck in the scientology rat race. And today is football heaven -- NFL and EPL both. MINUTES VALLEY ORG OT COMMITTEE MEETING January 11, 2016 Note: The minutes are for the sole use of Valley OTC members. All members receive a copy.

Valley OTC Minutes
Because these things are sent to me and accumulate for a while and every now and then I like to make them publicly available. They contain a lot of insight into what is really going on inside these orgs. Remember this is THE most important soon to be ideal org on earth, right in the middle of the "largest concentration of scientologists on the planet." Just think if this is what it's like in the Valley, what must be going on in Edmonton, or St Etienne or Canberra? It boggles the mind. I have highlighted some of the lowlights in red.

Finally, Scrooge Subsidizes Valley Idle Org
It's just too damned embarrassing. Even though they STILL haven't made their "ballpark figure" to able allowed to get started on getting a final figure for construction, it seems Uncle Scrooge McDuck is going to chip in the last few million and get them rolling. (Though it could be that this is just another of their numerous false promises about how close they are to being done....) But it seems unlikely because this is the pattern happening around the world now. They will keep squeezing the local orgs for everything they can get out of them, but in the interim, Scrooge has opened … [Read more...]
Valley Hype Rides Again
Quinn the Eskimo is back, back, back!!!!! And he rode triumphantly into town armed with a quiver full of exclamation points and a hefty garbage bag full of hype. The ridiculousness of this email has got to be seen to be believed. From all the earlier hype you may have been wondering just how close they were to achieving their goal of being able to begin construction. Well, Quinn has kindly solved the problem. It's just a "nominal" "Ballpark balance" of $2,100,000. Chickenfeed. Could buy a nice building for this org that would be too big with that "nominal" amount. Just … [Read more...]
Valley Vulgarity
It never stops getting worse. Now they have cool white leather jackets with a "V for Vendetta" symbol on them to accompany the Vendetta lapel pin. And this fine piece of 80's disco throwback attire can be yours to proudly display as your latest status symbol for a small, one time payment of just $25,000. They made the announcement at the latest Valley OTC meeting: Fundraising status: $2.3 million left to finish New Legends game to finish: $25,000 – get beautiful pin and ‘V’ on Honor Roll Just think, they only need to unload 100 of these babies. They can put toget … [Read more...]
The Valley – Still Crazy After All These Years
OK, shred your commendations. Hide you "Humanitarian" cards. Give your special bronze, silver and gold Valley hard hats to the nearest construction site. Send your Infinity Club leather jackets to the Salvation Army. Valley has a NEW status symbol. You don't want to be caught not keep up with the Joneses (Cartwrights?) and have an OLD status symbol do you? Of course not. Those hard hats are so April. And the jackets are positively last year. It's time for you to get yourself a "Legend Pin" which you can proudly display alongside your numerous IAS pins. No self-respecting Valley … [Read more...]
Valley OTC BS
I have been collecting these for some time as they are sent to me. Not worth much really, other than as a record of events, but when you accumulate a selection of them and just scan through you see some interesting patterns. As they came in I highlighted certain recurring statements. This top one is an email sent out a couple of months ago that just seemed to perfectly set the stage. Hello there! According to our records you have been a member of the Valley OT Committee. Whether you were part of the push recently or quite a while ago, you may not have heard the latest news — we’re o … [Read more...]
Valley Really Not Ideal Org
Douglas D. Douglas over at the Underground Bunker, posted an excellent comment and photos this afternoon. It is too good to be possibly lost in the huge number of daily comments that appear on Tony Ortega's blog. Without his permission, I am turning this into a posting here in order to preserve his fine work and to make it easier for everyone to find. Here is his original comment, followed by the photos. Some very sharp observations. Honestly, can anyone other than a hypnotized zombie NOT see the insanity on display here. By their OWN claims, the "Golden Age of Tech II' is going to … [Read more...]
