Pasadena and Inglewood have been avoiding the heat. All the attention and effort has been on LA Org and Valley (apparently Orange County doesn’t qualify for anything….)
So it’s being turned up. Suddenly, out of the blue, they are going to be “St Hill Size.”
Anyone want to bet that the plan is to send Sea Org teams into these orgs? I don’t have the report from the briefings over the weekend yet, but this is the “pilot” that was done in LA Org. I can imagine Miscavige railing about the “useless, unutilized Sea Org members” at Int and at the HGB and in CLO WUS and so they are going to be “put to work” and be forced to “boom the ideal orgs in LA” (not Orange County though….). Pretty soon we will be seeing the no-scale graphs about how these orgs are “booming” as the SO members threaten people to show up in the org or get onto an Extension Course.
Why the announcement? Why not just DO IT? After all, you have been saying this is what you are doing since the SH Size game was launched in 1982….
The ideal orgs are a fail, so a “new” program is being rolled out to try and do something about the empty ideal morgues. Because they ARE all empty. Some cannot even afford their utilities bills.
The Sea Org is “taking over.” It’s the “next big thing” — LA Org portended as much.
Wonder what happens when they run out of Sea Org Members? Hire actors?
PS: Things will likely be sporadic on the blog this week as I am heading to NY and DC this morning for the next screenings of Going Clear and a series of media interviews. I will try and include some information about what happens, but I am sure at least for the NY leg, Tony will be keeping everyone apprised of events.
PPS: This email just came in as I was pushing the button to post this and walking out the door to the airport. The Sea Org has arrived to save the day, just as predicted above.
Dear Scientologists,
It is HAPPENING at Pasadena Org!!! Having just arrived to Pasadena Staff to help the ED’s, Rona Bowles and Sara Jonic my sister Chel Stith, OT VIII and I are delighted to be posted as the D/ED D&E’s of this absolutely beautiful Church.
Flanking us, is a 12 man Sea Org Mission to make Pasadena a SAINT HILL SIZE ORG! THAT’S RIGHT ST HILL SIZE!
It has already added 30 staff, and we will be recruiting a lot more!!
Mainly what we need most are ACTIVE FSMs, bringing in their family and friends and getting anyone not on lines here to do service.
Both Day and Foundation have added several Registrars to sign up the entire field. We have doubled our delivery capability and the org today was a HAPPENING PLACE!! The OTC has been in the org helping out and working on events here and call in.
We have just issued a two month calendar of events, we need you to bring people in for these!
I wanted you to know so you were briefed and could help us!
There is nothing more important than getting the public in and moving up the Bridge. We really need and want your help.
Please come see me and we can get you names, drill you up, whatever you need!!
Much Love,
Melanie Lekas
OT VI, FEBC
I wonder if Melanie Lekas is wondering whether Pasadena is going to go “full LA Org” and she will be out of a job in Pasadena after having been “replaced” by SO members as ED LA Org?
A 12 man Mission? Oh my. More signs of desperation in the bubble.
I guess Dear Leader doesn’t like people making fun of the failing ideal orgs in the home of the “largest concentration of scientologists on earth.”
Despite the pain it will cause, I hope the SO does exactly what they did in Joburg. With so many more people, it will cause so much more disruption and drive away even more whales. the faster they destroy the org the better. Being driven out in desperation is better than staying in.
You’ve got to feel sorry for the folks in Pasadena and Inglewood. This is going to put them through hell. Yes, it may inspire some to leave, and leaving is a good idea.
But no one deserves the sort of pressure that will be brought to bear to boom the stats to prove that the new strategy works.
Mike, Happy travels on the next adventure of HBO et al.
I love your trusty crystal ball – aka – the innate ability you have to call something before it happens. “Captain Miscavige” must HATE this about you. You read him like a book 🙂
I shudder to think of an org run by DM minions. It was bad enough having the famous “Disestablishement Mission” arrive in Joburg in 2011 and that was only 4 people. None-the-less they proceeded to rip the org to pieces, musical chairs, illegal and cross orders abounded and managing to all but crash Div6 entirely during their tenure. I was personally berated in public no less than 3 times by this “Int Mission”. First by the Mission I/C for having the gall to site PES privilege PL as she transferred staff out of my Div without any reference to me, then another berating tirade from Geitane Asseline because I ignored an illegal cross-order from her, and the other time by her husband Luc De Bois who screamed spittle into my face in Qual one day – in front of public. (Both of them returned to SA with the blitzkrieg in 2013 armed with the Jobur 18 declares). Having the SO all over your org is NOT a pleasant experience. I can see staff leaving in droves. Way to go, Captain Miscarriage.
Have a great trip Mike.
“A Happening Place” Does anyone still say that who’s under 50?
Slightly Off topic
Mike was in NYC for a showing of Going Clear.
Here is a link to a video of a discussion that took place after the film.
http://timestalks.com/detail-event.php?event=alex_gibney%2C_paul_haggis%2C_lawrence_wright
Just watched the interview on Timestalks.com.
Mike you have to be the most articulate , pleasant speaker ever.
Your comments are measured just right , clear and concise , but I had to pause the video for the longest time as my husband wouldn’t stop laughing , Miscavige’s idea of mind over matter ” I don’t mind , you don’t matter”. Good one!
If the film is anything like the sum of these intelligent speakers tonight , I have hope that we can all be with our families again.
They could simplify their promo. FSM now or get Declared!!!!
Since their shipping in SOs maybe the someone needs to put up a few exSeaOrg Promos outside this new Idle Saint Hills.
“Wonder what happens when they run out of Sea Org Members? Hire actors?”
This made me laugh at first, so funny. But, in reality, it is what will probably happen! Many a true word spoken in jest.
The Sea Org takeover of the Inglewood org is just brilliant. I can just imagine a bunch of pasty-white Sea Org people in worn-out polyester uniforms, many whose native language isn’t English, manning a “body routing” operation at the corner of Manchester & La Brea.
With the Sea Org’s superior ability to exteriorize and postulate people signing up, they’ll be Saint Hill sized by lunchtime on the first day, for sure.
But to put it in perspective, it’s not like Pasadena is going to do any better. I’ve talked to a number of people in the LA area who avoid the upper-level orgs like the plague so they don’t have to deal with Sea Org personnel because they’re such loudmouthed arrogant jerks. So when faced with the choice of dealing with the Sea Org in their local org, formerly a safe haven from the oh-so-friendly Sea Org wannabe tyrants or dropping out of Scientology entirely, a fair number are going to select the latter option.
Even though the Sea Org are no more competent than the staff they replaced, the obnoxiousness is going to be fatal.
Too true. Hubbard made many errors – creating the Sea Org was his biggest imo.
Loud mouth arrogant jerks – sums it up pretty well. They are an obnoxious group who believe they are superior to everyone else. Formula for disaster right there!
I commented here yesterday saying that I was familiar with the Inglewood neighborhood as in the 1970’s and 1980’s I had business success there creating many thousands of customers for my business. So here I give free advice to the church on how to get some customers for Inglewood Org.
1) Stop sending out glossy promo that only has pictures of white folks.
2) Conditional Target: Find out if they still have the cool handshakes there in “the hood”, and if so learn them. All the hip people will teach you.
3) Don’t be try’in to sell shit and take anybody’s money unless you are willing to give them what they pay for.
4) If you give someone bad service you’d better fix it or give them their money back like LRH says to do.
5) Don’t say to your customers and potential customers: YSCOHB
At least these OT 8s who’ve come out of the woodworks will have nicer digs within which to fail like all past eras of org execs who’ve tried to make their orgs boom.
People no matter what era of Scientology history eventually tire of the painful job of running Hubbard’s orgs, no matter if their Ideal, or whatever.
Scientology doesn’t do anything. People just grow up and naturally get wiser so they attribute their Scientology stuff to normal wisedom gained as anyone grows up and learns more naturally in life.
Scientology’s just such a rah rah delusional world that Hubbard listed out so many positions in his bureaucratic hierarchies with everyone having their Hubbard written up roles to play. Where are the OT superpeople that Scientology’s supposed to make to change the world?
Up and down on the tone scale demands of the members and staff to shuffle deck chairs on their fictional Bridge to Total Freedom ship of OT wannabes.
It’s a long learning curve for these members to figure out no one’s getting OT superabilities nor even becoming major positive players in society that are being accepted.
“The Sea Org is “taking over.” It’s the “next big thing” — LA Org portended as much.”
I wonder if there’s a connection between the Scientology security assisted “citizens’ arrest” of the LA woman, and if she was one of the Div 6 public from this new LA Org that they bungled.
Scientology is a walking bungling crank outfit.
If LA Org took their role seriously, in light of Hubbard’s advices saying LA is one of those cities around the world where the indigent flock to, and taking Hubbard’s “Volunteer’s Ministers” duties seriously, they’d set up an ongoing helping project of some sort to deal with the humans who come to the streets of these cities around the world.
Hubbard is not credible when it comes to helping the lower end of society, Scientology truly ought to do a methodical “all-hands” refunding all their existing and past members’ donations, and shut down.
In my various travels around the world, from Russia to India to Europe to the Middle East to my life now in Asia (and I’ve been to many countries n this continent), I’ve never encountered a group as TRULY ignorant as the Sea Org. Some nice people, yes (some), most very dedicated to what they do, true (which is not a plus point) but STUPID! (unknowness of TFP&E). Talking to young SO members is like talking to kindergarten kids. First of all, they are ignorant about Scientology itself. Years ago, few of them had even read a book by LRH. Since the various programs to get them to do so, I’ve seen them with earphones on while they sweep up in the mornings, hardly the way to actually STUDY. So most know virtually nothing about their own religion. And then of course they are woefully uneducated as to almost any other subjects, as most of them have no schooling and are not allowed to read non Scientology books (and are given no time to anyway) or allowed to look at newspapers os the internet. Add to this their state of brainwashing and their absolutely STUPENDOUS non confront of what is right in front of their eyes 24 hours a day and you have a group that is not only completely clueless, but dangerous in the sense that they are empty vessels waiting to be told what to think and how to act by anyone they perceive as “senior” to them. So when they hear “St. Hill Size”, as an actual concept, it means nothing to them. They just know that when they see exclamation points, or one of Davey’s lapdogs tell them something, it must be good and exciting and everything now will be fantastic. Yeah, this is the group that will lead the new renassiance in “clearing the planet” …. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (The lucky ones will leave when they can, have families, get real jobs, etc. The unlucky ones will grow older and stupider and less able to deal with life as the years go by. Self determined? Scientologists? You’re joking, right?)
Wow, what happened? Did people write KRs on Ideal Orgs being off policy, so they had throw around the words “Saint Hill Size” to placate the masses?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRvm0PfayR8
A 12 man sea borg attack and they are going to ‘hire’ 30 more ‘staff”? That means that every public in the area is going to be hit up to ‘join up’ and if not, pay some money to escape. Just an extension of the OT Committee scam that have included every OT and put them to work raising $$$ for the IAS. If every nose is stuck on the grindstone, you can’t see what is going on around you.
$camatologies brand is so broken that ISIS has more ‘new meat’. No way any mOrg is going Saint HIll size in any way. The loyal minions really do believe in a dystopian future don’t they?
Again, it’s Saint Hell size. You know, the kind filled with fire and brimstone! However, you just might meet the founder at that org.
Relentless reporting by a pro.
Magic mike
“I don’t have the report from the briefings over the weekend yet…”
LOL! That’s another thing. Why can’t that slapping dwarf put a stop to the endless leaks that are feeding you and Tony Ortega with such embarrassing (and at times criminally actionable) information about Scientology’s dismal failures?
Above all else, that’s tres amusing.
“Saint Hill Size” — that always cracks me up. 🙂 These violently insane crooks expect their customers to not know that their “Saint Hill” business office is just as empty as all the rest. 🙂 How very amusing.
I do believe it’s Saint Hell & not Saint Hill. Sure it’s hot in that org, but, you’ll have a great time cooking marshmallows over the many fires they have yet to put out. Of course you may be stuck with a pitchfork, but, that’s just part of the charm of Saint Hell. You’ll have a roaring good time…
Hey Mike…since I believe whomever told me the Briefing Course was Cancelled came from over here, I thought you might like this update on the BC as of today. (If you know it already…forgive me, or don’t post this).
But I found it interesting: I just Called American St Hill (ASHO) and here’s the latest update:
I had heard the “Briefing Course” was cancelled. I know they’ve done
many odd changes of late…but that just seemed way too far fetched.
So I called and asked how much is the BC? “We don’t have it right now”. Me: “Ok, but you’ll have it later?” Staff: “Yes, eventually”. Me: “Well, like in a week, a month, what?” She: “Longer than that”. Me: What’s the hold up?” She: “With the Golden Age of Tech 2, they are redoing ALL of the materials. So eventually it will be back”. So there ya go, as of March 2, 2015! Never forget: BS runs downhill. If you’re “in”: Bail while u still CAN. Have a safe trip, Mike, take photos and much love to all here 🙂 Tory/Magoo
” Mainly what we need most are ACTIVE FSMs, bringing in their family and friends and getting anyone not on lines here to do service. ”
Jeeze Melanie, have you checked to see whether you have even one FSM (much less off lines public) that is still connected to their family? I don’t think so.
And as for friends, what are those? Do you mean those off lines losers who you write KRs on. Or do you think $cientologists actually have friends outside the cult after all these years of being told that you need to stay connected to source and move away from Wogdom where all of the low lifes reside?
The only prey left for your FSMs are each other and the few whales that cruise by. But most of them are off limits to garden variety FSMs, only your SO sociopaths can engage for an afternoon ‘rape and pillage’ session.
So I would offer that as regards getting anything close to new meat in your doors ……… you are fucked.
The only thing available are the road kills you have previously hashed over and they look at your Saint Hell size idea like they would a patch of Poison Oak. They usually break out in a case of the heeby jeebies just thinking about ‘coming in’ to ‘talk’ …..if that is what you call it.
No Melanie ……………….. you will not be expanding, you will not be doing squat other than random acts of cannibalism. Remember what your illustrious El Con said about that …. A cleared cannibal IS …. a cleared cannibal. You are an OT VI cannibal ………… have a real feeding frenzy honey!
I hope many of the members of the command team are from Int. It’s a lot easier to blow from L.A. locations than it is from Int base.
Yes, Hemet doesn’t have as many transportation choices as a major city. Costs more $ to get anywhere.
Lynn I was thinking the same thing! They are in LA with real people ! A few might realize that the real world ain’t so bad. Please Short Stuff, post all of your SO members in actual cities. The blows will be awesome once they see what real life is like.
I was thinking the same thing Lynn. Hopefully some of these SO members will use this chance, while under less scrutiny than in L.A., to blow and get the hell out of there.
Saint Hill is empty, so anyone also empty is Saint Hill size.
An empty can of beans is still empty no matter how you spin it.
Switching gears and making Inglewood and Pasadena Ideal Org’s “Saint Hill Size” is such a ruse.
Anything to keep the Sea Org slaves busy, busy, busy, working, working, working. God forbid they should get a moment of clarity and think about how leaving the shell game and having a life. That might involve getting a little rest/sleep though.
This isn’t spoken much of here but things at PAC Base have gotten so much stricter on the S.O. than they used to be. No time off, longer hours working after midnight and they have to be on post at 10am on Sunday too. This has been going on for a long time now, since the ‘renos’ for the Ideal Pacifica Base started happening a few years ago. It’s only gotten worse as time has gone by.
Pepper, do you fee it reaching the boiling point? Soon more will blow from the unforgiving pressure.
Bon Voyage, Mike!
My suspicion is that even St. Hill is not “St. Hill sized.” What the hell does it even mean?? As more and more of these “announcements” show up, the word which comes to my mind is “sloganeering”.
Hey Dave,
Does Mission Tech now include running on crack?
They are really rushing it. I thought they give the LA Org command(flap) team a bit more time before they roll out Sea Org to the other orgs in the area. Either they shrink even faster in other areas and have to find places for Sea Org members now or they realize the command team is not gonna cut it and they will lose the argument and justification so they do it as fast as they can.
In any case they are coming apart at the seams faster than expected.
It will be fun to watch how these command teams will fail miserably and in the end will get the blame.
Miscavige knows full well that the Ideal Org strategy violated Be Do Have and God knows how many other LRH policies and references about expansion. He knows this and he’s always known it, but he wanted the money and he needed to keep the sheeple deluded about how to expand so he pushed Ideal Orgs. Well, the jig is pretty much up with Morgue fundraising and the truth about the emptiness is there for all to see so now he pushing getting people in. Suppressive that he is, he’ll make all the SO, staff and public wrong for not being able to fill up the orgs, and ease his own panic by doing so. He’s doomed but he’ll take the ship down with him, but I don’t for one minute believe that he ever for one minute believed that his “Build it and they will come” Ideal Org strategy would ever create expansion, but he’ll maintain that it was THE solution and that everyone else failed.
I think I’m starting to feel sorry for these Still-Ins again. However, we all have to live and learn. Everything that happened to me that was bad happened because I would not or could not LOOK. These Still-Ins who’ve been busy busy making excuses, twisting and turning away, year after year, well – here’s your reward.
LOL@The Biggest News Since the Last News!!! You’re one funny man. Safe travels and enjoy the screenings.
Melanie is OT VI? I wonder if that gets anyone’s attention?
Is that the original OT VI?….I doubt it.
No telling what all of those people that were pretty much forced onto
OT VII after VI might think.
News to Melanie…..that place can have 20 FEBC plus 20 Cl VIII’s and
it will still be a fail.
Mike, Coming to NYC? Maybe I’ll see you around.
Picture yourself in an org or a mission
With young MAA’s and real OSA spies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A man with inquisitor eyes
IAS reges demanding more cash
Messing once more with your head
Looking at them with no love in their hearts
And you know
David all along was lying
David all along was lying
David all along was lying, ah
Follow the path to a bridge going nowhere
Where make believe people eat hot sheeple pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the fake graphs
That grow so incredibly high
Another event and you’re just so damned bored
Hoping it all goes away
Starting to clap with your head up your ass
And you’re gone
David all along was lying
David all along was lying
David all along was lying, ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
Away from the madness, no more paralyzed
Suddenly an old friend is there at the turnstile
As you start to open your eyes
David all along was lying
David all along was lying
David all along was lying, ah
Lucy In The Sky doesn’t have her diamonds anymore. The reg got his hands on them.
Lucy along with Marc has blown for good.
Nicely done. John Lennon would be proud. There’s a lot of truth in these re-worked lyrics.
Thanks Martin.
There is no org on the planet that will ever go
St Hill Size (just look at the 339R issue) but
that is what DM wants anyway if you see all
his wrong whys he is coming up with.
This is a nightmare come true for the staff at these orgs. Lots of crazy assed SO members screaming and shouting at each other in a frantic mess to try and get some stats to protect their asses. I can see the briefing now. Its either this or you are on the RPF. You CSMF.
Yet another fail in the making but now it will be intensified
by showing up even more. And the SO members will see
first hand what a failing org is all about. Poor blokes.
Mike, have fun in NY and DC.
When you have peace of mind there’s no such thing as BIG BIG NEWS! After all, that is what people are hoping to get on the other side of that “bridge to total freedom”, isn’t it? Sorry to contradict the great sage, Ron Hubbard, but admiration is NOT the most valued particle. The most valued particle is peace of mind.
🙂 I like it.
How much longer Mike – can it last? Miscavige has run out of $cams to $ell the clubbed $eals. There is nothing left to get excited about in Scientology. With the release of the new book out announced on Tony Ortega’s Blog, the movie “Going Clear” hitting HBO airwaves March 29, 2015 – Scientology is beyond done.
Now that the majority of Scientologist’s still drinking the kool-aide have done their Purif and Obj re-runs, what is left? The Ideal Org campaign has failed. They have not opened one since early last year. Slappy Miscavige has got to be itching to get some “admiration” from his clubbed and brainwashed seals…yet everyone is broke and broken.
My bet – more will be leaving in droves disillusioned by the “no win” game called Scientology.
“Now that the majority of Scientologist’s still drinking the kool-aide have done their Purif and Obj re-runs, what is left? The Ideal Org campaign has failed.

I hope you are right, Idle. I get so frustrated with SO many out-points and lies and the remaining don’t seem to notice (specifically my son). It’s like pounding on a huge glass window and these guys won’t look over. Like battered slaves.
How long does it take for a cannibal organisation to eat its self up? That is the question.
When it’s good karma, of influence, is spent, it will implode under the weight of the harm it has committed.
Something tells me Scientology’s karma will be legal. Because Ron most definitely used it as a weapon to harras and destroy. That blueprint is still functioning in this “church.”
That was Ron’s holy sacrament of attack critics: in writing, demoed, checked out.
Dare I say “standard 3rd and 4th dynamic ethics tech.”
Ron’s misuse of the laws of freedom of religion, and the misuse of a benevolent legal system, meant to foster decency and protection, is spring loaded and poised to boomerange with legal vengeance.
Those working to protect Miscavige’s power structure are not one of the good guys.
Those being paid to watch these blogs for any actionable offense, are receiving money supporting a system of family distruction. You may do what’s legal. But your shoulders and conscience must be feeling the weight.
You are in bed with the devil my friend. Don’t let money corrupt your quality of life.
It is becoming way too obvious. The fake graphs and PR can no longer hide the truth that the orgs are failing, failing, failing. I am a bit embarrassed at the satisfaction I feel in having their fraud revealed. The SO mission will transfer so much undue pressure to the staff and public that there will be more and more exiting.
Mike: enjoy your time at the screenings.
Yep! Just imagine SO members trying to get raw public into the Model Ideal Idle Morgue.
IMHO, Raw Public henceforth should not be referred to as public new to cult exposure but rather old public rubbed raw from constant irritation by Scientology staff.
This is known in the GAT II lineup as Scab Tech. It is a simple process run by any staff member on any public anywhere on the grade chart. Find a scab ……. then yank it off. Alternate process: if no scabs found, create an irritation enough so one will form.
Q:) How long does it take to go from ‘public’ to Raw Public?
A:) About ten minutes with a body router, five minutes with SO staff, 5 seconds with Dave Miscavige.
PS: This hidden Scab Tech Data was passed onto me recently by an old Class VIII auditor. Use it at your own peril!
This has already been tried repeatedly, and failed repeatedly, both in the pre-Ideal Org program time period, when large SO Missions were sent out to “make orgs St Hill Size”, and in the Ideal Org era, when a number of the Ideal Orgs opened were opened SO Missions, and large delegations of SO Members sent to the would be Ideal Org to boom it at opening time (done for example, with Buffalo back in 2003). These have all gone the same route: an initial and almost inevitable bump in statistics, due, if for no other reason, to a significantly larger number of staff working in the org to raise stats. This strategy has proven to be utterly unsustainable, and any so called St Hill Size org, or any large increase in Ideal Org stats have always collapsed again, usually fairly quickly. Miscavige considers to embody the definition of insanity.
This is probably the most important line in her email:
“Mainly what we need most are ACTIVE FSMs, bringing in their family and friends and getting anyone not on lines here to do service.”
Historically, “new staff” was always at the top of the org’s list of “most needed”. Now it appears they have the staff, but just don’t have the public. And/or their Div 6A (inc. FART) is so ineffective at bringing in new people, that the only way to get someone to sign-up for services is with an endorsement from an FSM.
The fact that public opinion of Scn is at an all-time low certainly doesn’t help the situation. I’m just thanking my lucky stars that I’m no longer on staff 🙂 Probably the worst time to be a staff member, with the shitstorm looming on the horizon.
…AND the worst time to be an FSM, AND the worst time to be a public; especially a public that has already had their rectal exam with a sec check to get them to toe the line. These people don’t want but HAVE TO get back on services if they aren’t already. This was one of the things I hated most about being a member of the church of (david miscavige) scientology in my final days: YOU HAVE TO BE ON LINES! YOU HAVE READ KSW AGAIN AND AGAIN! YOU’RE EITHER IN OR YOU ARE OUT!!! It completely lost sight of what the church can do for the individual and became what the individual can do for the church. I had to ask myself, “This is MY church?”
Dave, all you have left are slaves. Congratulations.
I think he has one more thing left McCarran…………….He has one more rectal exam coming and it will be delivered by one Dr. Gibney on or about March 29th with a crowbar.
I can’t imagine any sane person wanting too tell friends and family to come into the Co$. I actually know a few people who have literally gone completely out-reality with all of this. Pretending like it’s not happening. Actually, one of them has gone blind…guess he just doesn’t want to see what’s in front of him and what he spent his life supporting.
I shouldn’t laugh – and I wouldn’t wish blindness on anyone but… what a metaphor. The public are quite literally going blind.
That’s exactly right. They have the staff numbers and bolstered by the SO plus the missionaries (a DOZEN of the little Hilters!) – geezers, I agree with you, thank your lucky stars you’re not on staff right now. It would be horrible beyond words.
Active FSMs, bring in family and friends?? “California Dreamin” (no offence to the Mamas & Papas) but a ‘cold winters day’ has settled permanently over $cientology. There are no NEW public available, the PR surrounding Scientology is loud and very clear – STAY AWAY!
We could hope for something dramatic and mercifully quick puts their insanity to rest but that shitstorm on the horizon you mention by the look of it will be a long and messy affair – once again, thank God we aren’t still on staff – Perish the thought!
You want me to bring in my family and friends???
But I just finished disconnecting from all of them.
“Wonder what happens when they run out of Sea Org Members? Hire actors?”
LMAO! Hey, have fun NY & DC Mike. Knock ’em dead!
miscavige must feel the embarrassment of each crack as they appear.
he’s practically hiding out already. i guess one thing to look for as a sign that things are truly crumbling is if/when he stops personally doing events.
it’s possible he follows the same path as LRH’s last days. scared and hiding out. but then he’d have to stop doing the events.
we know he’s very scared of just showing up in court, can you imagine if he were facing several indictments? just the potential has to worry him daily and that is only going to increase in time.
he’s removed so much of what would normally serve as a front and buffer, layers between him and the organization, that now it’s hard for him to just lay back and fade under the radar like LRH did.
internally he made it so much about him that now if things get really rough he can’t slip quietly into the background. there is no one to hide behind, he can shove a few bodies in front of him but it won’t be thick enough to put him out of reach.
of course i’m just guessing from a million miles away.
Next step is he starts doing events via satellite from an undisclosed location.
I wonder if that would get anyone’s attention??
I think it will be from a bunker at KCET studios.
It is interesting White Star how these two Scientology leaders are manifesting the same psychological profile.
1) lying
2) attacking
3) hiding
4) a love affair with dumpster diving
5) paranoia
6) isolation
7) narcissism
8) claiming non involvement with church control
9) claiming they are not involved with black ops against our citizens
10) physical violence against staff
11) betraying wives
12) the culture at large thinking they have mental problems
13) subject to infantile tantrums
14) addicted to the aquisition of power as a source of self worth.
Maybe Miscavige is possessed by disembodied Hubbard?
Hey, why go through the trouble of picking up a body?
There is a nice young fresh one with not too much actual usage of the brain.
Just a musing of course.
But it is fascinating how the two leaders of Lientology claim superiority over sniveling wogs and defrocked apostates and demonstrate similar mental characteristics:
Unstable and paranoid
indeed Brian, there are a number of latter stage parallels. well he made his bargain.
They both gained power over property, people, money and minds.
They both lost conscience, goodness, humility and sanity.
Dealing with the devil. Yes White Star: a bargain.
An ignorant one as these aquisitions are fleeting and temporary and end in suffering.
Sceaming at BTs, desiring electrocution and rotted teeth was Hubbard paying the piper at the end: the result of a life of deception and violent acts against our fellow citizens. A self styled hell.
Miscavige’s swan song has yet to take stage.
If the parallel stays consistent it’s easy to surmise.
Good thinking…about DM having removed all the buffers of executives between him and everybody else. Also… where has he been? I haven’t seen him doing any big events lately. This is all starting to crumble.
It’s truly remarkable to see the last of the clubbed seals clubbing the shit out of the public that feeds them. This is truly insane. Amazing to watch. A merry-go-round gone mad.
Time for a Zombieland sequel.
WhiteStar, you said, “He’s removed so much of what would normally serve as a front and a buffer, layers between him and the organization, that now it’s hard for him to just lay back and fade under the radar like LRH did”.
So true. He removed the “layers” to protect himself and to ensure his absolute power. He needs people to buffer him now AND at the same time, he KNOWS he can’t trust anyone to buffer him, because he knows what HE did, he knows how trustworthy HE was when he was among those buffering LRH.
Must confront, can’t confront; must have cover, can’t have cover; must trust, can’t trust.
Living in the hell he has created for himself.
So what’s the impetus to go Saint Hell Size? They took away the carrot of OTIX and OTX long, long ago. Who needs a Universe Corpse when you already have the Sea Borg in there anyway? Saint Hell Size has devolved into a dick-waving contest, just like statuses. And just like statuses, it’s unnecessary, with the added whiff of old farts from the nostalgia for “the good old days” (it also has the double-duty effect of duplicating the aroma of Saint Hell’s open sewage pond).
Given that the “good news” was done at Inglewood on Friday and Pasadena on Saturday, was it the same team of speakers giving the rah-rah to the few who showed up? Knowing the cult, they probably promised the same twelve Sea Borg to both places.
Internal competition is sometimes good for a business with branch offices (and that’s exactly what Scientology is), but how are you going to get people to play when they’re tired of the game? And the LA public are almost certainly tired of all of it. The regging to get Valley done has exhausted them. When the book is finally able to be written about the final destruction of this repulsive cult, the push to get Valley done is going to be a milestone, the point that the clubbed seals started arming themselves and hitting back.
Inglewood is going St. Hill size? Well, Gee Willikers that means we’re Really Really going to clear the planet! I can hardly wait. Once we clear Earth, we’ll move out to the other planets.
Scientology is the only game in the universe where everyone is fucking nuts!
Inglewood going St. Hill size… BWAAAAAA HA HA HA HAHA HA! Jeeez, that’s the best laugh I’ve had so far this week! Cripes, Inglewood is even deader than Pasadena.
Melanie Lekas. You’re going to lose your job girl. I almost pity the fate that awaits you now that you’ve failed and His Lowness has had to send in people to “fix everything” for you.
Hope you blow soon. Bring DOX!
Haven’t there been a lot of repeat “Saint Hill Size” orgs? I remember OC was St Hill Size back in the 80’s.
Didn’t they just dismantle ASHO?
People inside the church either believe that church expansion is at an all time high (without any real publice to verify this as an incentive) or they are simply not in the chruch. It is like the novel “1984” by George Orwell. 3 Orgs or missions are shut down and all the public and staff that can fit are routed to a new “Ideal Org” that then reports highest ever stats and Saint Hill size expansion. I mention again Saint Hill size expansion without any Clears, OT, Auditors or stats marching out of the buildings. This is PART of the reason why I “might” have left the church. Part of it! 🙂
I think you mean Saint Hell size.
Another wrong Why – first the blind leading the blind (now, I can tell you, the ones still inside are really blind); the ‘orgs do too little”, and now “command team will rescue orgs”.
But to cover command teams you need to also cover expenses of room and board, not that this matters much as they get barely paid and can be cramped somewhere with another command team in the same dorm.
Add to this the need to disburse some money, out of the billions, to pay light, water, phones, and so on.
March 13 is close and if leader doesn’t do this there is nothing else to announce at 3/13 event.
Simply adding a bunch of SO members to the staff is not going to turn anything around. Scientology is toxic and the public know this. The additional staff members are not going to increase the amount of public in Pasadena and while it might look busy for awhile it will never even approach being St Hill size.
Maybe if someone prints out a paper with all these events for the last 4 years and circle and underline and bold prints the repetative words, maybe they, the ignorant will finally see the light! Then again, who knows. Some of the big names in Scion start leaving, Hello Mr. TRAVOLTA, maybe then……
Repetitive words are probably what keeps them in.
Hope renewed again and again.
I wonder about Mr Travolta. Did you see him at the Oscars? He looks like he’s had plastic surgery – he looks awful. He fawned his co-presenter with his fake smile plastered on his face. It was embarrassing to see.
There were at three “jokes” at his expense. He appeared to take at least one of them with good grace but the impression was that he’s a bit of an idiot.
Has anyone heard him say at least one original sentence, a thought entirely his own?
He is robotic, a puppet, in my estimation.
He does what he’s expected to do – whether for the film moguls and public or for Scientologists, namely the Sea Org.
Safe travels, Mike. Be sure to keep those cameras ready to roll if the victims of the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology try anything…
Have a wonderful trip Mike and much success with the media interviews.
