More indicators of how poorly thing are going at Flag. The recent post about the “goodwill mission” in DC is now followed by this — the “Flag World Tour” going to Phoenix…
Ignoring the horrendous grammar and typos, this email contains some interesting insight into what is happening at Flag.
The FWT is going to outnumber the people that come to their event in Phoenix — this is how desperate they are. They are not sending just a reg and a single Tech terminal — no, it’s a Super Power Auditor AND a Qual Consultant, along with Kaye Champagne and 3 regges. They will be lucky to “consult” with 6 people total in Phoenix. The “ideal org” there is completely empty. But clearly they don’t have anyone to audit or consult at Flag, and this is a new low, taking along the OTC Chairman as a featured speaker! There are a LOT of LRH issues, evals and orders concerning the Flag World Tour. None of them even CONTEMPLATED a public person being the “featured speaker.” This is a pretty remarkable turn of events and is a startling indicator of how desperate they are.
But the most interesting line is this: With Flag’s role having changed – the local orgs getting people up to Clear and we, getting up the OT levels…
This was ALWAYS the “role” of Flag. They were NEVER supposed to deliver to Class V public as routine.
Reading between the lines, this is a new Miscavige “why.” After forcing everyone to send people to Flag for even the lowest level (Purif and Objectives anyone?) services to try and boost Flag’s stats (remember when He Who Shall Not Be Named was doing weekly Graduation before GAT II and the demand for EVERYONE to come to Flag was intense?) he has now “discovered” that Flag has been blamed for “creating Danger conditions” and this is why org stats are failing. Some poor fool took the fall for this when it was Miscavige’s original orders that caused it all in the first place. Now he is telling them “Flag cut its feeder lines” and now “command intention from COB RTC” is for Flag to help the orgs get public onto the Bridge. This will be shortlived, as it is going to crash the Flag stats, and he will come up with a new “why” and someone else to send to the RPF for “unhandled evil purposes that crashed the stats.”
It is desperate times — their stats suck, GAG II is a bomb, Super Power and the Running Program have run out of the small amount of steam they ever generated and there are no orgs sending in new public.
Dave, it may be time for you to call on the most dedicated scientologist you know, and the greatest disseminator in the history of scientology and get him activated. Something needs to be done. Call in the Top Gun and get this show on the road. Surely you two big beings can arrest the St Moritz death slide that corporate scientology is experiencing?
What we are observing is the result of Flag cannibalizing their existing public. But it’s too late to put them on a vegetarian diet. They will starve and eventually will revert to native state out of desperation.
It sucks to be Miscavige. Probably really sucks to be an FSO Executive about now too….
Phoenix – FLAG World Tour – Briefing Data
=================================
We are bringing the Flag World Tour back to Phoenix.
What this means is that we, for the first time ever, show the RESULTS of Super Power, the Cause Resurgence Rundown and the impact of the GAT 2!
Now, you should know that we have an incredible team coming to help your local field move on The Bridge. This team consists of:
1) Barbara Dews (TOP External Flag Consultant from the Flag Service Office in WUS)
2) Tommy Gustafsson, WUS Flag World Tour I/C and Sea Org Veteran.
3) Andres Gutierrez, bi-lingual (english and spanish speaking) Super Power auditor! (for lower level public)
4) Myron Rapp, OT 8, 3 Ls Completion. He is a Qual Consultant and fully hatted Establishment Officer from the Flag Advanced Org. He used to be a very successful Chiro with own business and knows tech and admin inside out! (for NED Case Completions, Clears and OTs)
5) Mrs Kaye Champagne. She is the Flag OT Committee Chairman, a New OT 8, OT Ambassador, 3 Ls completion and recent Super Power completion! She will come to Phoenix to give your OTC a hand (likely arriving a few days prior to the event) and she will also speak at the event – as a Super Power Completion!
So, with all the above people coming and this event presentation really being something we have been waiting for for 25 years – referring to the release of Super Power, the Cause Resurgence Rd and GAT 2), this is a GREAT, GREAT opportunity for Phoenix Org to rekindle purpose and get people moving up The Bridge in droves!
With Flag’s role having changed – the local orgs getting people up to Clear and we, getting up the OT levels, we are all working – more coorrdinated then ever, to help each an every public get ointo their NEXT STEP on The Bridge – locally or at Flag – whatever and wherever their next step is!
The event is Sat 2 August. We open the doors as early as 6;00pm for those coming of course. We have a light pre-event buffet first. The presentation starts at 7:00pm and is a little over one hour long. Then there is an after-event buffet dinner, time to mingle and get an interview with the tech consultants!

~ 27 ~ The trouble with Flag
I don’t mind telling you, Dear, I had trouble with Flag after your departure. Not only did I have a D of P change but a C/S change. I was informed by telephone as you neared death. I believe our D of P, yes, we had the same one, was put on another post. But I think our C/S, and yes we shared a C/S too, continued on his. So, I concluded it must have been something related to you, a Solo NOTS auditor, contracting a disease and dying while on the level and me being your wife.
When the time came for you to get back on Solo NOTS after your return from your time with LRH, you felt you shouldn’t have to go to Flag but could better be serviced at Int given what you had been doing and who you had been with. But they denied you that option.
I opted to go to Flag in 2001 shortly after 9/11. By that time I had already trained close to the level of OT VI and it really was my turn to continue the processing side of the bridge. Five months I was at Flag, out of the home and off post. At the end of five months I was programmed to do the PTS/SP Course which would have extended my stay even longer. I flunked the challenge test and eventually submitted a written request to do the course in LA. So, upon my return, I not only picked up the pieces of my backlogged post, I picked up the pieces of the household, audited and went on course every day. That was quite a work load. You mentioned this period was hard for you as Megan had also gone to Flag at the same time.
Flag seemed difficult for you in the early 2000’s. Although you had initially been put on Solo NOTS by LRH, you had not yet finished the level with your on-and-off auditing through the intervening years. Yet we are trained that there are no “special cases,” so you were put on standard public lines going to and from Flag every six months. There was certainly no working toward approximating the more ideal conditions of your time with LRH. Without doubt, had LRH still been around you would have continued to be serviced by the Senior C/S International Office.
Of course, that’s when you were contacted by the Flag Super Power reg. Oh, when was that? I’m guessing along about 2002. In the end, even I spoke to her upon your return home and said “no” to donating to the Super Power building. What is funny is the two girls, the Super Power reg and Gunhild Jacobs from ASI, tried to double-team us in a big package deal. I said no to “preservation of the tech” as well.
Somehow you got on medical lines at Flag. I don’t think it was that Super Power trip but a later trip. That seemed to be uncomfortable for you when you had always causatively addressed your own medical care, except on the very rare occasion when a specialist was needed. I’m not sure how you reacted to that but, when it happened to me, I was like “What’s going on here? I didn’t come to Flag to be sent off the lines to a doctor!” I could certainly have seen Megan upon my return home for the long-neglected Pap smear but someone deemed it urgent when I was at Flag. Good grief!
I believe that on your last trip to Flag you called to tell me that someone wanted to assign you treason for out-security of materials. You refused the treason assignment but it caused enough of an upset for you to call me. I said, “Tell him you hold down a great deal of security and have for years.” To my knowledge you never accepted the assignment yet I wonder if it was fully resolved in your universe.
Meanwhile, on the work front, and I only found out about this from you as you neared the end of your life, Stephen was demanding a personal loan on his half of the building. This would have required we sign again, as half owners, for him to get his loan and money.
As time went on and we arrived near the end 2003, you told me you didn’t wish to go to Flag. Although you said you would go over this with your C/S, I don’t think you ever did. You then decided we would take our next trip to Flag together. I believe that was a comfort to you.
I well remember the day we were standing at the base of the stairs in our home. You looked down at me and said, “Did you schedule our trip to Flag? If so, you need to cancel it. I told you I didn’t want to go and look what happened.” What happened, of course, is you now had inoperable cancer.
It’s a shame you weren’t handled with due regard and respect for your contributions and experience. Demands for donations, sent to an outside doctor and a wrong condition assignment: what a “perfect storm” this generated and, in the end, all was lost.
My heart breaks thinking about this. The perfect storm crashed our lives and the lives of many others as a consequence. No wonder I was given such a hard time after your departure.
Thank you Rachel. Many of us loved your husband and miss him still. Your stories help to fill in the gaps in history. Treating the public with disrespect is something the Sea Org has specialized in for some years. That in itself would be enough to bring things to their logical end.
Sending people off to doctors became a fad at Flag after Lisa McPherson died. It’s probably still going on. It was and is an intolerable intrusion into people’s personal lives and has nothing to do with Scientology.
Wow, Rachel. What you and Gene have been through after all your contributions to LRH himself personally and you with author services and all you did in all your posts. I knew Gene and loved him and his twinkle in his eye and dry sense of humor, not to mention his medical expertise and acumen. He was such a good man. I hope you have love and comfort in your life now that you’ve left the church.
Rachel,
This makes me sad to read. It was certainly wrong to treat your husband in this way and to deny him the respect and care that he deserved. I hope he passed away in peace and even though I never met either one of you, I can see that he was lucky to have you. I hope that you are doing well and happy today, even though you may miss your husband.
The establishment of the FSO in the mid and late 70s was the true watershed event in that era of Scientology and was in my opinion, the biggest error in judgment that LRH ever made as to the future of the CoS. It formally established not only a hierarchy in tech quality for training as well as auditing, de-valuing Org services and really altering the meaning of the word “standard” in Scientology, but VERY surely has sucked money out of Orgs since then, making it almost impossible for any Org to stay solvent. It was also the beginning of the true centralization of Scientology (which is what Ron wanted I think – get the money to the big guys), eventually destroying the missions, and field auditing (with iHelp), WISE, etc. Ron’s biggest blunder and despite all of the buildings going up in Scientology’s “Vatican City” in Clearwater, Scientology as a movement has been slowly but surely shrinking ever since.
Joe I always thought that as well.
So what does Flag do technically that
is not done anywhere else? What is going
on at Flag tech wise I wondered….it acted as
an inval on my training in that I hadn’t received
the “true and real standard tech” in training.
Whenever one was touted as “Flag Trained”
with much fanfare and bravado, I would think to
myself….WTF. There are two sets of Standard Tech?
I finally did some training and courses at Flag including
an upper level training cycle.
I have to say I found those courses and training cycle to
be quite inferior to the extensive training I did at ASHO day.
Way too much in your face stuff going on. Same on the Ship.
No real caring for the individual, just a robotic, arrogant attitude
that in essence made me feel the group was divided on one central
core of Scientology….tech training…..Flag way was the only way
and outer orgs didn’t REALLY know what they were doing….which
just wasn’t true.
I got WAY more out of the training I did at ASHO day than anything I could have done
at Flag…..I was right in my initial thoughts…..what sets Flag apart from
other orgs???…..nothing really.
So, let me get this straight. Everything up to Clear is done in orgs, and everything after that, including the OT levels, is done at Flag? And it’s always been this way? If that’s so, then why are the orgs so big? The Purification Rundown seems like all it needs is a sauna, treadmill and vitamins. I have no idea what Clear needs but it can’t be buildings as big as the ones I’ve seen. Even if it really weren’t a massive real estate scam, I’d just like to know what the thinking behind the Ideal Orgs is.
Well, it depends on whether you actually want to “clear” people in volume. It requires auditors being trained and auditing occurring. If you had 250 people training as auditors and 200 auditors auditing full time, you might start making a dent in the city in which the org is located. So, the buildings, in theory are not too big. There SHOULD be that many people in them.
But reality is that they are about 20 times bigger than they need to be for the miniscule activities of scientology around the world.
And, if they need overflow space, they could rent it. That’s what regular churches do.
Oh absolutely!!!!! We MUST enlist the services of Mr. Cruise…after all, he is more on-purpose, more effective, cooler, bigger better stronger and a better Sea Og member than any Sea Org members who ever existed past present or future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, when I was still at the int base and I heard these and similar statements about TC uttered by Mi$cavige, I about threw up. I really resented it…he’s got no CLUE, taking sea org staff’s work on his own personal possessions and having them work in his household for no pay for many years now. Sure–let’s see what he does with the continuing collapse of the entire Scientology network around the world, CONTRIBUTING to the straight down and vertical.
Why should he lift a finger? It doesn’t matter to him! He’ll still get all the robot services he’s been getting as long as he’s pals with Mi$c. and there are some SO members who themselves are off-purpose to want the status of working for him and being around him. That’s all he needs. Onward and downward everyone!!!!!!!
Miserlybitch is the worst administrator in the world and wouldn’t last a day in a real job as a manager or administrator. He doesn’t have a clue what to do now. It seems that orders are given and if things “work”, then great, he’ll take all the credit. When things don’t work and stats fall, it’s that SP staff that works for him and the out-ethics publics fault.
I don’t know when or what it will take for staff and public to see the real why here. There is an inept, poorly educated, ill-tempered, goof-ball “COB” masquerading as a competent administrator.
Then again, we’re talking about a cult.
Pope Pottymouth’s motto is Harry Truman’s only changed a little: “The buck stops there”.
Problem is no one dares raise their head over the parapet to look let alone say something critical of DM. It’s like a complete mocked up mind set that has been exported (and policed) from “management” for the last 3 decades. They all state publicly that he is infallible whilst probably even those “pod persons” still in have got at least a few doubts, surely some of the old timers who knew how Orgs were years ago (i.e. full). Unfortunately the later generations have nothing to compare the current scene against and the older generation still in daren’t disabuse them of this “fact”. But it will change. Hopefully soon. The saving grace is that those still in, being robots, can and will be quite easily disabused of their mistake – they will all say, “we knew it all along” as tehy bend like reeds in each new wind. There will be a lot of “disabusing” required however when sane managers eventually take over. Just hope we don’t have to wait another 30 years. But can you imagine all those trained people flooding back to the Orgs? It will have to be a clean sweep though – with IAS and all that donations nonsense (and the 10% commission scam) disbanded. Can I ask to whoever takes over and before “all is forgiven” – can I punch at least a few of those people who have supported this total calamity and betrayal of LRH and the subject for the last 3 decades? Please? Ha! After all Slappy’s been doing this so it is nothing new then eh?
Thank you for asking.
You may… BUT please don’t punch me too hard.
I realized that I had my share in creating that mess as well. So..
“START!”
Repeat till EP
I’m Super Alliterate.
The Flag World Lure.
THAT is good, MJ.
Today’s Flag world tour – a more gentle form of rape? Indeed.
To: David Miscavige. You are hereby declared a suppressive person. First order of business is to pay back the 1.5 billion dollars you stole from parishioners, then vacate the premises. Your only terminal is L. Ron Hubbard.
😀
Mike, this article is almost too much good news all at once. 🙂
Mike, where did you get that picture? You realize we can’t un-see that! I’m going spend the rest of today with a hunted look guarding my junk.
Didn’t the old man say outflow is holier than inflow?
There are more buildings “IN” Scientology than public.
Great pic for your article Mike.
Of making Orgs vanish!
Well I can only imagine why people don’t want to go to the unfriendliest place on earth, where you get inval, eval, your certs capriciously canceled, ignored, gossiped about, and best of all….get your head wrapped around a pole for a hefty sum. DM’s unmock of the tech has killed the golden goose. Corporate Scn may limp along for a long time, catering to those who fit the mold somehow, but the monopoly has been broken up, and transparency is being forced on them. The bitter defrocked apostates know how to dish the cool breeze of justice.
“The product of an org is well-taught students and thoroughly audited pcs.
When the product vanishes, so does the org. The orgs must survive for the sake
of this planet”. LRH. Seems like you-know-who has been doing a grand job!
He’s the master.
Something I’ve noticed in recent mailings, emails and promo pieces of late and it’s in this one too”
Rekindle basic purpose – to me it signals admission, even if in quiet tones of desperation, that they know the orgs are dead. I do remember Hubbard saying you could practically raise the dead by such rekindling. And I don’t think he meant recycling a Kindle since those weren’t around during the telex age.
I distinctly remember that hot button phrase was whipped out and plastered consistenly on promo and mailings during the 80’s mass exodus. That’s probably why I noticed it.
THDNE, I was one in that mass exodus. At the Tustin Org in Orange County, CA., it changed, literally, almost over night. It was right after all the mission holders (many of them my friends) were slaughtered. One staff member, as he was leaving said, “I don’t think anything after the early 50s is worth anything.” The speed at which that org collapsed was staggering. I remember being told to NOT use the word “scientology” because of all the very black and bleak PR that was cascading down upon them. We were told to say “scn.”
Now, because of tiny dwarf knows all and sees all, he removed the org from Tustin (a very wealthy city) to Santa Ana, a mostly poor Hispanic city and the heroin capital of Orange County. I’ve been to that Idle Morgue, and, of course, it’s empty.
As the new initiatives like Idle mOrg and Stupor Powerz haven’t caught on, it’s time for revival of that ‘old time religion’. Just another sign of the collapse. Has the ‘chirch’ already started dipping into the 1.5 billion stashed away? Has the cash flow fallen so badly that the principal now has to be used to keep everything afloat? Corporate has at times ‘loaned’ money to mOrgs like in New Zealand, are they doing it elsewhere? Inquiring minds want to know.
Well the would have to call on Tom right now John Travolta is about to go down in flames, literally and figuratively. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/john-travolta-cant-stop-pilots-720319) Seems like they are losing emissaries everywhere. Why not get Kirstie out to help out? Her show has yet to be renewed so she surely has time to run around screaming about how all critics of Scientology are bigots. That helped her A LOT! Oh or maybe get Juliette Lewis. You know she is super credible. And people love when she starts talking. Or maybe Giovanni Ribisi. You know he has always been on the forefront. Why not Laura Prepon? She is on one of the MOST popular shows on the Planet. She could rally the whole LGBTQ community behind Scientology, if only they didn’t HATE everything gay. Bummer for them. I guess good ole Tommy Boy will have to dust off his crazy hat and start shouting at reporters again about how he is an expert on Scientology.
Well, at least he is not glib 🙂
Like the Brothers Glib? Oh no, wait. It’s the Brothers Gibb from the disco era. Man, that IS some pretty good shit…
Although he is a haircut in search of a couch!
‘Call in the Top Gun and get this show on the road”
How about this possible scenario-Once Tom is called in and made the new face of Scientology and has had time to really digest what is happening after taking a worldwide goodwill tour through all the new Ideal Orgs (like London yesterday) he pulls a shocker and goes before a packed house at the Shrine Auditorium on LRH’s birthday and cold-cocks Dave by asking that he step down from leadership in a well articulated and on-point speech that he slips from his suit pocket at the podium …Wow!
Now that would be “slamming in ethics” and would rock both the Scientology and tabloid worlds. Tom would get more face time on ABC, NBC, CNN and Fox News than he could easily schedule. Oprah and Barbara Walters would be pulling their hair out fighting to get the exclusive interview.
Wow. What are you smoking? 🙂
Ha ha ……well a guy has gotta have a dream… right?
And…can I get some?
Whatever it is is packs a hallucinogenic wallop!
“Barbara Dews (TOP External Flag Consultant from the Flag Service Office in WUS) ”
Ah, one of the more stellar characters in a long list of Scientology criminals. One of the people in the cult who still has a lot to answer for.
“It sucks to be Miscavige.” – I don’t think so. Miscavige sleeps on a huge pile of money. Each of them $100 bills! Do you sleep on a huge pile of fools money? Sure there are good days and bad days, but there is always the huge pile of money! That and “Danger Zone” blasting on a $100,000 stereo system.
Still sucks.
Have you ever tried to sleep on piles of money? They are nowhere near as comfortable as cuddly people and you have to sleep with one eye open to make sure no one comes in and tries to take money off your pile, or takes your $100,000 stereo, or any of your stuff that you have acquired with your piles of money.
The last month I was married to my ex-husband, we spent over $50,000 on “stuff” (and that was in the ’70s when $50,000 meant something). I told that to someone once and their response was “why did you divorce him?” My response? “Money won’t buy you happiness.”
BTW, my ex-husband now has a huge bleeding ulcer, has had 12 heart attacks and looks more than 20 years older than me, even though he is 3 years younger than me and has the best medical care and plastic surgery money can buy. Every time the phone rings from my ex-husband’s house to one of my children’s phones, they are sure it is to tell them their father is dead. He spends his life holed up in his dark house counting his ever-decreasing piles of money with his current new wife who is just the woman he deserves and who will leave him the second his last pile of money disappears.
So yes, I agree, It sucks to be Miscavige. He spends his whole life protecting his piles of fools money. He never knows what is going to hit him and from what direction. He knows he has no true friends and that his money and his self-acquired power is all he has. His entire life is spent fighting battles he created for himself.
Now that really sucks!
This whole line about “money can’t buy happiness” suggest that you don’t appreciate the UNGODLY sum of money involved. Also, as a bonus, he is a sadist with many opportunities to inflict suffering. Doesn’t get much better than that!
A bed made of $100 bills? Sounds very uncomfortable. I would choose my (unwealthy) life over his any day. At least I know my friends and family love me for who I am, and don’t pretend adoration because they are scared of me!
Still sucks to be miscavige.
The cob sleeps on cold chrome steel while he jams a cold chrome grounding can up his hoo hoo. 🙂
That idea that we live in a PR world is no joke so bringing in the Top Gun has a lot of merit. Dave is so radioactive at this point that he can no longer be the face of Scientology and expect it to survive. Even with him entirely out of site but still pulling the strings he’ll kill what’s left.
Tom, Katie and Suri could have been pushed to the forefront just a few years ago as the “First Family” of Scientology in a Kennedy-esque showing of what was possible through Scientology. Tom and Katie had youth and beauty and could have lead the way for many years. That would have been real PR and could have had legs if it was actually backed up with authentic Scientology (Auditing and Training for real) in the orgs.
(Pardon my trip through fantasy land)
The situation is impossible now because Scientology is not available in the Orgs and Tom would have to bring the whole thing back from the brink nearly alone. Still he may be the only chance Dave has left.
I think a song and dance routine with Dave and Tom couldn’t hurt. Or maybe a touch of Burns and Allen with Dave being the straight guy (George) and Tom being zany a la Gracie. Whaddya think?
“I think a song and dance routine with Dave and Tom couldn’t hurt.”
Here the dance routine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaaCErlhNBU
I love it! Put it in the RTC reports box (things that should be) at the morgue if they still have them.
LOL, MJ. But I’d like to seeTom Cruise & David Miscavige as Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. Wow, if I could only see Him doing Jerry Lewis it would heal everything – all the IAS money that’s never helped anyone, all the Ideal Org money for Pottymouth’s REIT, all the time wasted at those endless Int events – bingo, instant As Is.
Agreed Aquamarine. Yo Dave, lighten up dude!
I concur – DM has gotten rid of Missions, Field Auditors, Int Execs, FSMs, Orgs (as the ones existing now can’t possibly produce nothing), Auditors (by making robots under GAG I-II) and so on and on.
His last shot to destroy would be Flag – get them so wrong for things not working, nullifying every one in it, changing all the programs until the staff collapses and more public blows. Once Flag is gone the rest is easy- AOLA, ANZO and so on will collapse on their own with no help from TheLeader.
His demise is so close and is going to be very, very, very bad for him and his best friend who, by the way, gets nothing but bad press. Wonder why.
Poor Dave. I almost feel sorry for him. Not.
I actually feel sorry for the staff and public of Phoenix Org. Yet the upside is that the pressure and make wrong they’ll be getting might just help a few more of them to withdraw and go UTR if not they don’t outright blow. And I’m wondering: why Phoenix? Is there a whale there? But then, I suppose the FWT will give every org a turn, right?
Good question SILVIA. Why DOES TC get nothing but bad press? answer: because the tone level of society has dropped so much and because the SP’s have gained a temporary foothold. I say “temporary” because the good guys on the white horse with the sword and double triangle on his shield is coming! WE ARE THE IAS !!!! Defiant and resolute we will eventually shatter this suppression and a ray of sanity and order will stream in from on high as COB will lead the charge through the morass of entheta! COB our leerless feeder, oops I mean fearless leader!
” WE ARE THE IAS !!!! ”
WE ARE THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOCIOPATHS and by God we know what we know and we are not going to take one scrap of shit from you internet losers.
Yo Dave, Take your best shot good buddy! Why don’t you have Mike Sutter or Marion Pouw give me a ring. You have the number 209-928-4822. We have some catching up to do and they never did get their stat.
“Why DOES TC get nothing but bad press? ”
As LRH says, you get the condition you fail to assign. Tom thinks dave is in power, “the 2nd biggest being on the planet”. He doesnt get it that dave is at best in treason. Tom is being assigned that condition as the natural state of things. Poor bastard, dave really is toxic!
I think it’s hilarious how the cob can come up with his destructive orders and then after it crashes the area he can blame it on someone else and get them RPF’d. I mean it’s funny in a sick way. They should make a movie out of this someday. I’ve seen more ethical people in organized crime. “The leader of leaders?? ” Tom Cruise is out of his mind.
Well, it could be along the lines of Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. Working title is: The COB Goes To Hell.
Well, MJ, I always thought that tiny Davy was not born. He was shit out of the bowels of Hell. I guess it’s time for him to go home…
He should at least redo his EPF.
It is also sick in a funny way!
“Call in the Top Gun and get this show on the road.”
Oh that would be sweet, drag that screaming loon out from under the festering rock he’s hiding under and drag his loon ass out in to the light of day in front of the cameras so that the world can be reminded of what Scientology does to people’s brains.
I really do think Mike is onto something here. If Dave is feeling desperate, as he seems to be, then the idea of calling in the Top Gun must have crossed his mind now and then, at the very least. But Cruise’s behavior over the past few years would seem to suggest that he’s lost his appetite for playing COS poster boy. Could there be some kind of falling-out in progress there?
I agree, there is nothing to lose in pushing Cruise.
It’s the equivalent of a boxer who has lost every round and knows his only chance is one wild swing that hopefully will deliver a knock-out and victory, otherwise failure is certain.
Punch drunk little pope.
Referring to Tom Cruise as “a loon” is an insult to Loons everywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon
That’s what I was thinking! Lake Loons Unite!
The Top Gun was seen going into a London org, the staff were probably scrambling to get BIS up to impress him, there was no way DM would let him walk into an Idle org. Maybe this is DM’s new strategy to get local stats up.
Really? When was that?
Why would a very successful chiropractor with his own business become a “Qual Consultant?” It sounds suspisch. What, trading in magical spinal adjustments for the exorcism business is a good move? Who’da thunk it?
From twisting spines to twisting arms.
And after he twists their arms they’ll need chiropractic. Amazing how one’s dynamics support one another when one another when obeying Command Intention.
“5) Mrs Kaye Champagne. She is the Flag OT Committee Chairman, a New OT 8, OT Ambassador, 3 Ls completion and recent Super Power completion! She will come to Phoenix to give your OTC a hand (likely arriving a few days prior to the event) and she will also speak at the event – as a Super Power Completion!”
So poor Kaye has to do the final, ‘come on down’ calls to the locals and get the blame when too few show up. Sounds like another ‘Amway’ type road show to get the locals to do more selling, except with out the overpriced useful cleaning products. Or does the Miscavage brain bleach do that job?
It already has. Cleaning cleans is one of his specialties.
Oh yeah! 🙂
Greta
Kay being called to “get the show on the road” is right up her alley. She has done road selling for years selling rugs on the road.
“Rugs on the road”? Is this inside humor or is she really a door to door rug saleswoman?
This is to Aquamarine, but the arrow wasn’t under her comment, so it might appear off thread a bit. Yes, Aqua, Kay Champaigne did do a stint selling rugs on the road. She started out under a Scn LA rug salesman and then went on her own and eventually she and hubbie made their own biz selling rugs on the road and hiring others to do same.
Yes, she is good at it and also cheated me out of $8,000.00 I invested in a website of my own
with rugs based on their website. Never got a penny back!
Greta
I guess she pulled the rug out from under you!
Greta, Or “it’s your motivator; you pulled it in.” Or “you’re PTS” Or “you’re responsible for your own condition” Or “you must have pulled it in” Or “we did it for the greatest good for the greatest number, which bumped us up in status with the IAS.”
Geeze, I don’t know why they didn’t bring Jasmin or Alphonso along from the Flag MAAs office? Kathy false could be helpful as well. She could give a speech on tolerance and disconnection.
“there is an after-event buffet dinner, time to mingle and get an interview with the tech consultants!”
So after everyone is starting to relax and chat they can begin the Sec Checks. Seems that with all of the bitter apostates having been defrocked and roaming the fringes of the internet they would want to be prepared to handle any upsets found. Not that you would expect there to be any upset kool aide consuming public left in the field but just sayin……..
Yo Dave,
If your FWT folks do happen to come across a public that:
A) has not checked out anything on the internet
B) has not had at least one friend or family member become disaffected
C) has not had at least one friend or family member disappear into the SO never to be heard from again
D) has two nickels left in their pockets to rub together
E) has any interest left is your bridge to nowhere
Then there may be a stat to be had. I’d love to attend and break some bread with the friendliest folks in the world ………….but……………well, send me an invite and I’ll see what I can do. You have my number, 209-928-4822. BTW, I have been getting calls from Flag lately, what’s up with that?
Should be humorous to watch your vultures circling the few remaining morsels at your buffet. Seems like that is how the trappers survived in the American West; bait the trap with some food and pounce on the prey after the trap was sprung. Go for it!
How I would love to see John P. crunch through some of the statistics from the last couple of seeks!
Just when you thought you might get a reprieve from all the hot air, a veritable heatwave of hype is on its way.
You made me short coffee out my nose. Keep it up!
I meant “SNORT” This aging thing is catching up with me.
Good aliteration, MJ.
Hey Dave, Just think. You can walk out onto the balcony from your office in the SP building. Go over the side and bounce/splatter on the concrete below. Your decades long nightmare will be a DONE.
Remember the banner I saw at a protest of the San Francisco Idle Morgue that said, “Scientology is Over” and I posted about it? I do believe we need to update that banner to: “Scientology is SO over.”
True. Organized Scientology died a while ago. It takes a while for it to decompose but these maggots do help devour the corpse. Not a pretty sight.
What is Scientology?
In actuality, a good compost heap can be very beneficial to the earth, especially when you get it heated up over 130 degrees and it wipes out all of the pathogens (I mean sociopaths).
So all you bitter apostates, whether defrocked or not, grab your pitchforks and let’s build a real hot heap for our favorite micro orgasm and his cult!
I’ll get the manure, you guys bring the thing with the thong!
Surfer, I’ve wondered for some time now what the fall of Miscavige’s empire will look like. A bang, or a whimper? Right now it’s looking like a whimper.
The signs are there for those like Mike who are astute enough to read them. But they are rather subtle: Statistics quietly sliding into single digits. Staff being dispatched to this or that beleaguered outpost along the collapsing battle-front. Names disappearing and reappearing on email headers. And mailings like this one, and the earlier one from the Founding Org in DC — strangely muted and listless in tone, tacitly acknowledging the disappointing state of affairs at the org in question, but offering little beyond the bleak hope that this time, THIS TIME, we’ve figured out how to turn things around. You get the feeling that no one — neither the author nor the recipients — really believes it. But these are the motions we must go through.
This does feel like the end. And it must be a disappointment to anyone hoping for something dramatic — Miscavige in handcuffs, the FBI crashing the gates at Int Base. But I guess we’ll take it, if it ultimately results in families being reunited and Sea Org slaves freed and the truth finally told.
RG, outstanding post! You cut to the truth very succinctly. There’s no more REAL enthusiasm at any base around the world. Like us, RG, they’re watching their Titanic of a cult slip beneath the waves. Quietly. Softly. Almost eerily so. I wonderful, if in their quieter moments of reflection, they hear THEMSELVES saying, “We are so over.” It wouldn’t surprise me…
I think you’re right that it is going out with a whimper. I mean Drew Johnston didn’t even want to go on tour and be the guest speaker. Even he is withdrawing somewhat, so that second string Kay Champaign is called in. When have they ever had a public go on tour at all with them? And to take that many tech terminals with them is very telling. Here is a Freudian slip below that you’ll like:
One of my former KA drinking friends was called in to the org when I got declared and was told that I’d been declared and lots of bad things said about me with nothing shown in writing at that time. He called me and “had it out with me” over the phone while they were telling him what to say. I think he had an ear piece in his ear and the MAA was coaching him on what to say in that ear while his other ear had the phone to it. I could tell by what he was saying. It is the same system that the auditors use when they have an ear piece in their ear and the CS telling them what to say to the pc or if they missed a read etc. Anyway one of the things that they told him to say which he did, was, “Well the church may go down by itself, but you shouldn’t be doing all you can to help destroy it. and make it go down.”
What a Freudian slip! I guess that means that that MAA who was coaching him actually thought the church was going under. Why else say it like that? I just had to laugh.
Being declared today has as much meaning as protesting the weather.
Sensing the unrecoverable situation, I bet Miscavige decides to make an exit before the last minute.
I bet he posts WDC and the management structure with whatever warm bodies are left, then creates a bogus “special project” that he will be heading, turns over the COB post to McShane or some other sucker and then disappears to Bulgravia with suitcases of cash.
When the Scientology Titanic slips below the surface, if he says anything, it will be, “Those SP’s crashed the stats.”
But he won’t come back.
Only bubbles on the surface while the few survivors continue to be reasonable…
David who?
Lou! It’s Lou now. She will be left in charge. Who else? I guess he could try out Marion Pouw if he needs to keep his security blanket close. Whoever it is it will be a real circus.
Pass the popcorn please.
I wonder what’s going to happen when only 3 or 4 people show up for this mega event?
Don’t nag a rise!
My bad! (snicker, short, giggle, LOL!)
OMG, MJ. Funny!!!
3-4 showing up is only 8-9 less than they had at the last Celebrity Center Anniversary Party.
BTW — heard the price of a seat at this year’s
25th30th50thcentenary celebration (based on “Miscavige time”) has the riff raff now shelling out $650 and if you turn over $1000 you get a seat in the “reserved, roped off area” almost near where the “stars” are in the “behind the hedged off area”…This for the privilege of eating some buffet food and…. actually I don’t know that there is ANY privilege for showing up other than perhaps leaving relieved of some wallet ballast.
Methinks attendance at the “CC Gala” will be down again this year.
Just a guess.
