With a lot of talk and emails and hype, the yellow shirts of the largest relief force on earth have not shown up on the radar in response to Hurricane Harvey. Here is the latest from the bubble. The first promotional item from the CO CLO WUS announces that there are less than 400 VM's (out of the 200,000 they claim to have) who have arrived to help with Hurricane Harvey. And of course that number of 400 is massively inflated -- but it is the HIGHEST it could possibly be (scientology math is something from another dimension... 12 Million scientologists, 200,000 VMs etc etc). You will note … [Read more...]
Hurricane Harvey Update
We have been tracking the progress of the Largest Private Relief Force on Earth response to Hurricane Harvey. This is a new update from the "CEO" of WISE International -- I have highlighted a few things of interest. I’ve been moved to put out another update on my email from last night concerning the ongoing scene in Texas today, based on what I’ve just witnessed. And I'm widening our list to not just the Southern United States, but our entire North American list of comm lines due to the urgency. Here's the deal: William B. “Brock” Long, the FEMA administrator, announced in an early-mo … [Read more...]
Hurricane Harvey
Our thoughts are with those in South Texas, hoping they are dry and safe. We have a lot of friends in those parts from Ray Jeffrey and his co-counsel to Mike Laws and plenty of others in between. I hope the Rathbun's weathered this storm OK as they were in the most vulnerable location of all and I do not wish ill on anyone - only that they stop abusing others. That being said, of course scientology is busy as little beavers collecting money and activating their VM's. I have written many blog posts in the past about scientology's disaster capitalism -- using disasters as a way to milk … [Read more...]
Disaster Capitalism Revisited
It is as predictable as night following day. A disaster, man-made or natural, hits the media and scientology hits the "give us your money now" button. I have pointed it out many times in the past -- this is EXACTLY what the IAS says they use people's donations for. The IAS proudly proclaims it is they who see that Volunteer Ministers ("the largest private relief force on earth") are on the scene "of every major disaster no matter where it occurs on earth" to bring the help that ONLY scientologists can (as Tom Cruise famously said -- ONLY a scientologist can help people injured in a car … [Read more...]
London Is Calling (for your money)
The disaster capitalists are at it again... They are helping the victims of terror by giving them (not the terrorists) copies of the WTH. I am sure they will find the precept about not murdering someone really helpful. Once again, the insanity of this is that THIS IS WHAT THE IAS CLAIMS IT IS FOR. You give us your money and we use it to help at every disaster all over the world. Yet, here they are, asking for money to get WTH booklets -- that they are charging .66p (85 cents US) for EACH! They COST them no more than 20 cents. Not only is this NOT a serious enough disaster for the … [Read more...]
World Orphan Day Celebration – Scientology Style
As you may have suspected, this is not about the families scientology has destroyed with its toxic disconnection policy. Parents and children forced to separate. Or children abandoned by their parents who are in the Sea Org. No, this is another scientology effort to gain positive publicity for itself by sending out a paid press release in the hope that some news starved media outlet will pick it up, check no facts, and simply reproduce it. World Orphans Day Celebrated at Scientology Volunteer Ministers’ Open House November 17, 2016 13:56 ET | Source: Church of Scientology Flag Service Or … [Read more...]
A Lone VM Answers The Call
Once again, Scientology's own "PR" exposes the embarrassing truth about the scientology world. Though they repeatedly boast having "the largest private relief force on earth" (or some variation of this) that attend every major disaster, somehow apart from the photo ops the church puts out, nobody else in the world seems to know anything about them or notice their presence. That is because they are far from being a "force." They are a ragtag collection of people who are rounded up, persuaded to pay their own way to a disaster site, given a t-shirt and expected to pose for … [Read more...]

More IAS Lies
Here we go again... A definition: Disaster capitalism is the practice of generating profits based on the occurrence of a disaster. Next to that definition in the dictionary is the photo above. These IAS people have no shame. Let's put this latest pathetic plea into perspective. 1. What Dominica needs is NOT Volunteer Ministers -- it is money, clothing, food, construction workers and equipment. 2. IF Dominica really needed "Volunteer Ministers" and scientology really WAS about humanitarian aid, the Freewinds would have been despatched there 3 days ago and the entire crew c … [Read more...]
More IAS Lies Exposed
Here is one of the vaunted "Volunteer Ministers" that "you support with your donations to the IAS." Except your donations to the IAS don't get SPENT on these Volunteer Minister activities unless there is a video opportunity involved, in which case they pay to fly the video team there and perhaps a VM or two who can put yellow shirts on other people. GoFundMe is turning out to be a interesting source of real world (as opposed to bubble reality) information about what the IAS is actually doing. He is asking for 50Gs to do VM activities. Drop in the bucket for the IAS. You may recall … [Read more...]
