St Louis is Rocking
Really. Even Fran got in on the act. And “Why I Did It” can be summed up this way – I am led to believe I am doing something good handing over my money.
Milestones!
Now we know the exact definition of “milestone” – 5 hours working in CF.
Have you heard about the huge field meeting?
Neither has anyone else…. They don’t have a huge field to meet. Unless it’s a milestone huge field meeting with 5 people.
The elites the planet is depending on
Seriously? Then we should all kiss our asses goodbye.
Mighty My Mammy
Moving at lightning speed!!! They have 10, yes count them, 10 auditors OR AUDITORS IN TRAINING.
And 10 Purif Completions in a MONTH (along with a single Clear). They sure need that 70,000 sq ft building.
Be cause over the “drug scene”
By giving us your money.
Looks like Meghan Fialkoff is becoming a full time IAS FSM in the hallowed tradition of Michael Roberts and Jeff Pomerantz.
MidWest Superheros…
Going nowhere for 50 years. No org in Indiana still. Nothing in Wisconsin. Or Iowa. The same small, failing orgs there have always been. Really taking the MidWest by storm!
It’s a numbers game
But we are not good at math so we kind of missed the point. You know that the “ideal” orgs that exist already don’t even average one Clear a MONTH?
Sleepy in Seattle
60 years and no discernible impact on the city, let alone the rest of the State.
Local PR wins
Big successes with the ideal lake and ideal playground no doubt.
It’s HARD FSMing
Dropping the “S” bomb?
It takes two to taco
Or something.
Open your flows to Affluence attainment
So we can take your money.
This is “Flag” promoting WISE members to do seminars. L. Ron Hubbard is going bananas on Target Two. What is wrong with WISE — they were created to keep the creepy scientology businessmen from making money off orgs….
An epic tale
An epic event. They have had about 20 of these because they have been “going double SH Size” now for about 3 years.
The Sea Org is an obvious success
The proof of this is?
We are getting the Job Done!
That job being? Taking money from the few people we have left?
Just a little conceited
Well, a lot really.
Love the third person. That always sounds so smart.
Just weird
The only Class VIII on planet earth
There is no GAT SHSBC or GAT Class VIII course. So I wonder how he did it? Remember when he used to call himself “Class IV”
Greater than the entire physical universe
Uhuh. Right. And do you see the pink unicorn standing in the phone booth?
Mighty My Mammy
Banded together 8, yes count them, EIGHT, people to generate power greater than 8 MEST universes…
Sick
Nobody has ever started Man
Huh?
Donors
Those on the right are all STAFF. Bet they made some really YUGE donations.
Grand Ribbon Yanking
Be there. When? Call us for details… What’s the point of that?
Save you calling
Drug Free World seems to know the date and aren’t shy about telling the world. Obviously this is the big push so there is something to announce at New Year’s. But more importantly, it is being rush ahead (whatever happened to SiliCON Valley ideal org???) so they can get the news out to the scientology world before Leah’s show begins airing on 29 November to “prove they continue to expand like never before.”
Late Addition
D/COB for Foundation Hours is jumping in. They are too cheap to pay to bus people in from LA apparently. OMG.
The landscape of drug abuse
Don’t look now, but recreational marijuana just passed… is that what you mean? You are fighting an uphill battle you already lost.
Spearheading Global Dissemination
Still not seen ANYTHING from SuMP except some internal propaganda.
What does it take?
A baseball bat apparently….
Thanksgiving
Don’t forget to bring your credit cards and check book.
What the hell is this guy doing?
This is what he does with his life now?
Blazing a trail to a new civilization
Somehow, I don’t think so.
A License to Give
We generously authorize you to give us your money
“Milestone”. Another word added to the list of words and phrases, that, no matter the context when read or heard can still make my stomach tighten. Remember this list, Mike? The last contribution was yours – “epic”.
Dear Andy and Winnie, I cried when I read your statement of why you donated money for an Ideal Org. Because your photo was so sweet and lovely, because your words were so sincere, and you gave money you couldn’t really afford to give, out of the goodness of your heart. It was touching, and I think you are very kind people. But that’s why I cried. Because your kindness, your caring, your heartfelt wish to show people new ways of being is not going to happen. When you gave your money for your second “Humanitarian with Honors”, just like the first “status” you paid for, it isn’t actually going for the purpose you intended. The C of S has enough money to open the “Ideal Org” in your area already. They have more than enough. But they keep members donating because they use that money for other things, and give no accounting whatsoever to members. No one knows how much they raise, or where it actually goes. The truth is that your donations go into a fund used to pay for David Miscavige’s luxurious lifestyle, expensive clothing, private planes, and associated expenses. But worse, it also goes to pay for lawyers to litigate against members legitimate and rightful claims, and even worse than that, your donations also go to hiring private investigators to stalk and harass ex-members, journalists, and innocent people who have simply spoken out about abuses they’ve seen. Your donations go to hiring people to comb through Mike Rinder’s garbage cans, and hack into Tony Ortega’s email accounts. And if they ever do open the “Ideal Org” in your area, you can be sure they will have raised many times over the amount of money “needed” for it, and that, just like all the other ideal orgs, it will be a huge, empty building, with no one coming in or doing Scientology. Because that’s what the Church of Scientology is, a money-making business that takes way too much from members who cannot afford the donations, and profits only those at the very top. I wish I could tell you to look into this. To look at the other ideal orgs that have opened in the past 12 years. Are any of them doing well at all? No. The amount of money you are pressured to give is way more than needed to buy a building, fill it with furniture and essentials, and give classes and so forth… but they keep fundraising and fundraising, pushing for more and more money… ask yourself where it is going… find out. You seem like kind, good-intentioned people, like many who joined the C of S… but it isn’t doing what it claims, and it’s not fair to decent, honest people, such as yourselves. So yes, I did shed a tear after reading your statement. It’s just not right what they do. Something should be done about it…. something can be done about it?
“Daddy, what did YOU do to put the Ideal Org there?”
“Nothing, son. In fact, when they demanded more money for it, I told them to go fuck themselves, walked out of the old shit org and never looked back. Went to the saloon on the corner, got a drink, met a chick, got laid and woke up happier the next morning than I had been in years. Now let’s get back to your homework, Washington was he first president, then Adams, then Jefferson, then Madison ……”
Re: Andy Magnus and his little “success story”:
You know, this REALLY fucking pisses me off. Know why? Because it is an almost perfect example of how the Church of Scientology has perfected its techniques of mind control. You see, they did realize at some point that asking (or even begging or demanding) that someone contribute more money had the “liability” that said person might decide for some reason (such as sane personal finance decisions) to decline to do so with the usual “excuse” of not being able to afford it at that time or that it would send them into a lower financial condition. Of course even THAT response usually elicited very heavy invalidation of the person’s decision and usually their beingness as a thetan from any reg. But still … how to eliminate even the person thinking they could have the NERVE to decide on that question of whether to go into heavy debt or not?
Viola! Eliminate the freaking question itself! I remember quite clearly an IAS luncheon at ASHO back in around 2004 given in the lobby area by Bridgette Kelleher (ok, I admit it, I simply could not resist the free and VERY good, taco buffet that was provided). Bridgette really threw us the proverbial curve ball. “I will not be asking you for ANY contribution of money today.” (say WHAT???????) “I just want to get your agreement on ONE thing. That when an IAS reg comes to talk to you, that you at least be willing to work with us, that’s all, be willing to be honest and talk to us. Can I get your agreement on just that?” (seems quite reasonable, everyone nodding their heads) Oh, yeah … she was setting the table, priming the pump, greasing the wheels, preparing the suckers for the next step of the sting.
Ha ha. Yeah, JUST that! Asking them to agree to such a simple thing .. Except ..THAT’S the whole fucking ball of wax! AGREE to freakin’ ELIMINATE ANY DECISION ON WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR WHETHER IT’S SURVIVAL FOR YOU TO COUGH UP MORE MONEY AND GO INTO MORE DEBT! See, NOW, you have decided to participate in the cycle OF going into more debt. You’ve NOW already AGREED to that by agreeing to “honestly work with the IAS” on the REAL question of “HOW are you going to go into more debt.” So the real first question of the reg cycle is “What are you current credit card limits and balances?” and then “Do you own a home? What’s the current equity? …. how much is in your checking account? …. any savings or CDs? …. How much do you make each month?” … etc etc etc
Along with “what’s your current status? … What are your plans to move up to your next status? … How much can you give me RIGHT NOW towards your next status? … What is the most that you can commit to right now as a monthly flow to your next status that we can just put on your credit card as a regular monthly contribution, you don’t even have to do anything each month, it’ll be automatic.”
ALL of this to take AWAY from a person any TRUE power of individual decision. A “no” response is COMPLETELY UNNACCEPTABLE!!! (“Are you saying you CAN’T give me something right now or are you saying you WON’T?”) *not quite sure when Ron mentioned this goal for a being in his early books, must’ve missed that because of a misunderstood word or two.
And of course to get the completely brainwashed Scientologist like Magnus telling OTHER Scientologists that being brainwashed and completely controlled are fucking actual WINS!!!!!! They’re WINS!!!!! This is CASE GAIN!!!! This makes you a BIGGER BEING!!! (for FULL effectiveness here, you really have to say these last few quotes like George Carlin)
“Are you saying you CAN’T give me something right now or are you saying you WON’T?”
I’m saying I WON’T, you unrepentant, money grubbing paramecium. Now get out of my sight before I go medieval on you and save yourself having to schedule an emergency appointment with your dentist.
“The discharge of theta energy was incredible, as it shot out I perceived thousands of ridges in my universe just explode”.
ORW’s OTVIII success story goes on to mention receiving a truth that “defies understanding”.
I have to admit that DOES sound pretty cool. A lot like mescaline or shrooms.
There’s a fascinating streaming video on Netflix right now, “Holy Hell”. It chronicles a twenty year story about a charismatic spiritual leader who was able to evoke the most extraordinary experiences from his flock. He performed a one-on-one ritual called “the knowing”, causing them to have experiences of mystical revelations and ecstatic bliss. He was supposedly transmitting his “shakti” energy! People worshipped the guy and went along with all his wacky stuff because the experiences they got from him were so profound. It turns out his resume included brief stints as an actor and porn star and it was found out he was doing all sorts of secret, nasty things to his disciples. Anyway, the point is, because they were so impressed by his aura of spiritual authority they were able to SELF-INDUCE those fabulous experiences!
Back to ORW’s astonishing visions with OTVIII. What do you want to bet after a week or so, when the excitement has worn off, this person will be pretty much where most other clears and OT’s are on the Emotional Tone Scale: well BELOW cheerfulness and mostly in the “ho-hum” region slightly above “nothing specialness”?
I love Ron blessing The Apollo.For a dude that has been gone quite some years now,he keeps on coming back!It is like the OT curtain call,always pulls you back to the edge of the cult’s stage,whoops the edge of the cos trap.The promo keeps on coming back as well.It really makes no sense.Thank you Mike.?
Just weird – wow, how creepy. Half expect the Dad to pull out an ax.
O/T Hollywood Reporter points out today that The Cherch of $cientology has “many fans” as a result of buying historic buildings and doing a fantastic job in restoring them.
Whoop di do. Hitler was the devil incarnate. But to his credit he did build some nice structures. Funny how nobody pays him any credit for that.
“Not many people know it, but the Führer was a great dancer.”
Yeah and nobody mentions that now….SHEESH!
And Mussolini made the trains run on time
And Saddam built palaces
He was a master of the goose step.
And don’t forget Lenin’s contributions to Russian Ballet. So he killed a few million….but look at those dancers. Yeah, how convenient to forget that, huh?
I’m pretty good at the Duck Step
And Mao invented the FORTUNE COOKIE! (he would have them handed to millions of peasants in far off villages … “you will soon starve to death … enjoy your last cookie”)
*he didn’t actually invent it of course … according to Wiki, there are competing claims from San Francisco, LA, Japan, etc. I’m gonna go with the Japanese guy from San Francisco who claims to have first served them at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park circa late 1890s.
“Not too many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a great dancer.”
“Adolph Elizabeth Hitler”.
Dear Mr. Brooks, may he live at another 40 years.
You know, Santa Barbara is an expensive city to live in. Taking courses as well as living there will cost you some big bucks. And I noticed most of the members look old. I’m not sure how that morgue survives. I doubt any young people would venture in….
Yes, very oldcentric. I’m waiting for the Ideal Org promo photos of the Still Ins cheering and fist pumping in their wheelchairs…”We’re getting it DONE!”. OK, that’s cruel and I’ll be punished for it somehow someday but I’m not going to edit it.
Graham Payne!!! Well… I’ll be damned! Knew him way back when he was DofT Sydney Fdn. I wondered what became of him, he simply disappeared to the US so I heard. He has obviously perfected his Scientology, being OT8 & all. He was always bored with being staff, not enough game for him & the dedicated techie always seemed to be an irritant to him. He perfected a sort of tech of his own (a true squirrel extraordinaire), blending the admin scale with the 5 illogical outpoints in the data series, mgmt by stats, ethics conditions, ruin finding and a quite effective exchange by dynamics cognition machine into his comm cycle. He always had a deep love of money and it motivated him completely, the perfect Scientology field agent. He has a “flim flam man” aurora about him if you look closely. Not that he was despicable, quite the opposite, he wanted to be your best friend for life if it put money in his pocket. He never tolerated losers and employed good TRs to handle them but was always on the hunt for better marks. He is the true bait and switch professional.
Shame on you Graham. All that cleverness and you climbed in bed with Scientology for financial prosperity, always at the cost of ruining others.
Wise indeed – not! The real horror of it is, he never really needed Scientology to make money.
Look out Michael Chan, another shark is swimming in the every decreasing pool.
“HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. In the film, Curtis argues that since the 1970s, governments, financiers, and technological utopians have given up on the complex “real world” and built a simple “fake world” that is run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.” from wikipedia…
Its a fascinating film, and while not about the Scn bubble it shows how the modus operandi has been adopted and used by the “globalists” and “one-world utopians.”
Ideal org? We don’t need no steenkin ideal org…..lol….
“The world begins with TR 0.” 🙂
Highly recommended. Quite applicable to Scn.
Stephen, London’s #1 FSM, doesn’t like for his last name to be used, for reasons that we’re not at liberty to discuss. However, when he drops the “S bomb” on you, you’re going to scurry into your closest $cn org and promptly turn over all your cash in order to get your “ruin” handled!
Last time we checked in on London they were not exactly booming, despite being located in one of the most prosperous and largest cities in Europe…hmmm, could it be the weather?
The real “S bomb” that Stephen should be talking to his marks, err, prospective selectees about is Slavery – the actual physical form of it that Sea Orgy staff are subjected to and the mental form of it that every True Believer $cilon has been chained into.
But don’t take my word for it, selectees, do what Stephen said and come take the tour where the nice people there will answer ALL of your questions! Just make sure to ask them about Xenu and how much it’s going to cost you to exorcise all of those disembodied space alien spirits that you’re infested with…I’m sure they’ll tell you all about it 😉 Or just save yourself the trip and get on the internet and read all about it for yourself!
There’s an org for us
Somewhere an org for us
Whales to covet and fast declares
Wait for us
Somewhere
There’s a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together
In CF lair
Time to reg
Time to stare
Someday
Somewhere
We’ll fund an Org or a mission
With Dave in the highest position
Somewhere
There’s a place for us
A time and place for us
Bring your cash
And we’re halfway there
Give your kids
And I’ll take you there
Somehow
Some day
Somewhere
Newly minted $cn Humanitarians, Buzz and Tracey Newcome, got it right: It really IS a “numbers game” when it comes to clearing the planet! Unfortunately, their rudimentary arithmetic skills appear to have left them completely unprepared to follow up on their insight in order to do the math on that one.
If all of the orgs that have already gone Ideal are only cranking an average of one Clear a month, and there’s only a hundred or less of them on earth, then how long is it going to take them to clear the planet at that rate? Well, it would take a very long time indeed, except for the fact that the earth’s population continues to grow; so the better answer there is: Probably never!
“Oh, but hold on there,” I can hear our new humanitarians protesting,”when these orgs go Ideal their expansion rate is going to become logarithmic! Soon, rapid expansion of $cn is going to outpace the rate of population growth and we’ll be clearing everyone, everywhere in no time!”
Not so fast there, Buzz and Tracey, you’re just spouting the same propaganda that some vulture reg used to convince you two dolts to take out a second (or is it a third) mortgage on your home and plunder the kids’ college fund. There are more than a couple $cn orgs that went Ideal over ten years ago and none of them are performing at that lightning-quick expansion rate! Indeed, some are struggling as much or more now than they were before going Idle, err, Ideal. One could certainly imagine one or two of these new Ideal orgs continuing to struggle, based on some sort of regional anomaly or unique factor, but when NONE of them are performing as promised…well then WHAT, Buzz and Tracey, what could be going on there?
Why are $cilons the easiest marks on earth? They don’t LOOK that stupid! Many appear to have been successful in their skilled professions, businesses, etc.. Why do average or above average intelligence folks chump so hard for the the obviously bogus fast line of BS that $cn shovels!? Why do none of them ask why lil davey the savage has disregarded Elron’s own policy on the matter? How come no one demands to see that the real major success stats that Elron himself designated (i.e., number of well done auditing hours and auditor course completions) are published and kept track of over time!? Why, why, why?
Why are $cilons the easiest marks on earth?
This is an excellent question.
Part of the answer lies in the fact that they BELIEVE they are saving the world.
Scientologists are taught to believe in Ron. That what he says is true.
If he says Ideal Orgs are what we need, then of course, that is accepted without question. Then they are convinced by the propaganda of the events that these ideal orgs ARE successful. They don’t need to look. Why would they doubt their church which is made in the image of Ron?
It is their GOOD intentions that are played upon. Their desire to help. It is one of the tragedies of scientology that good people are being tricked and lied to. They hand over money and sacrifice their own well being as they have been deceived into believing that by doing so they will help others. They are not being told “you will see a 50% return on your investment” like so many other money-making schemes.
Scientology, the quicksand of trust.
“Scientologists are taught to believe in Ron. That what he says is true. If he says Ideal Orgs are what we need, then of course, that is accepted without question.”
But what LRH described as an “ideal org” was nothing like the way Miscavige has defined it to mean.
From LRH ED 102 INT, THE IDEAL ORG:
—————————————-
The ideal org would be an activity where people came to achieve freedom and where they had confidence they would attain it.
It would have enough space in which to train, process and administrate without crowding.
It would be located where the public could identify and find it.
It would be busy looking, with staff in motion not standing about.
It would be clean and attractive enough not to repel its public.
[ . . . ]
Such an ideal org would be built by taking what one has and step by step building and smoothing; grooving in and handling each of its functions, with each of its divisions doing more and more of its full job better and better.
The business is always there – the skill with which it is handled and the results on pcs and students is the single important line which makes it possible to build the rest.
The ideal org is the image one builds toward. It is the product of the causative actions of many. Anything which is short of an ideal org is an outpoint that can be put right. The end product is not just an ideal org but a new civilization already on its way.
————————————–

Of course that is true. Miscavige has cleverly reinterpreted “Ideal Org” to mean a fancy building. Hubbard doesn’t mention that at all. But people support it because they pull selective quotes from Hubbard about “ideal orgs” and they are so brain-dead they don’t ever read the whole reference or SEE what these “ideal orgs” actually are.
marildi, L Con taught his followers to LISTEN and NOT to look. He also told them to not learn logic as it will drive one crazy.
Great answers, Mike. People whose good intentions make them easy to trick because they sincerely believe they’re helping. They’re so convinced that it never occurs to them to question or doubt or even look at what their church tells them is the existing scene. You nailed it.
From St Louis.
“This is my second Humanitarian with Honors status. In neither instance was it even possible or practical in the physical universe to achieve the status. But we did.” Only the Red Queen could believe impossible things before breakfast. Lewis Carrol knew more about $cientology than anyone, Lron included.
“Even Fran got into the spirit of things!!” Poor Fran, such a reputation. She must be Mesty or didn’t find any toilet paper in the Loo.
The FSM who ‘finds their ruin’. For the sales it generates.
‘Open flows and closed flows’? That yogurt that fixes your digestion may help with that.
The bubble is getting stretched thinner and thinner, some day soon it’s going to pop.
Q: What’s the difference between Scientology and Amway?
A: Scientology only cleans your wallet.
I think you meant Amway only cleans your wallet. And that’s not exactly true… there is brainwashing in Amway too, just of a lighter variety.
An enormous area to salvage that long ago went down for the third time?? What happened those three times?
You’ll learn that on OT 9 & 10.
Pfffff! I’m already at 11 & 12!
You had me at 11.
By the way, OT IX and OT X are the repackaged HAS & HQS courses at 47x the price, which finally explains what that number represents. It’s done in a special course room with hidden cameras to provide entertainment for COB. He’ll use the money to purchase stock in promising high tech companies. It’s all per LRH in the policy where he talks about ‘facility differential.’
As there’s been a lot of conjecture on these upper levels, I hope this clears the matter up once and for all.
Kansas City Geezers:Amazing Get a bunch of geezers together who look like retired postal workers and get them pay money so the can proclaim themselves “traiblazerrs to the new civilization”.
Yes Miscage is an evil sociopath.But just look at the level of the last ones who are still in.
Listing every member of a donors family so your list looks longer. Pathetic.
Hey OSA, you should put their pet’s names in there too. 🙂
Woof!
Hey, that’s my dogs name!
Sorry for barking up the wrong tree. Now, where’s my Alpo? At the Ideal Org you say?
No. It’s at the Model Idle Morgue. A building that beckons you warmth and hospitality. A beacon, if you will, to light the way to super powers. An edifice that will stand the test of time.
I’ve got a goldfish named Mortimer who belongs on that list.
I’ve got a tarantula called Fangs. U think he’s worthy of being listed? I’ve tried to reg him but he just stares at me. Maybe he thinks I’m PTS or breakfast or something.
He could be used for debugs.
Or as a reg….
Putting up a thermometer graphic with “27% of Letter B Done” is not inspiring, Mighty Miami.
Maybe you need to slow down on the fundraising until you finish Central Files Letter C.
I was thinking that by the time they arrive at Z none of the people from a will be alive anymre.
Possibly some of the staff might have passed too. I mean, they have, what, another 3 decades until they’re done with the CF? The excitement is killing me!
They’ll go into the dead files.
The Scientology version of the graveyard shift.
The walking dead files…
All of this J & Ding is shameful. KRs are going uplines immediately. Your unprecedented out ethics and low responsibility level call for extreme measures to terminateldly handle. What comes to mind is COB’s latest epic milestone pilot program, The False Porpoise Rundown. To be delivered at Sea World, its the only thing that can handle your cases, so start saving your money, you’ll undoubtedly be CS’d for it. The time is now.
The False Porpoise Rundown is something else. “NO! Flipper was a dolphin, not a porpoise! Flunk! Report to Ethics immediately!” And then you get flensed.
I’d prefer to co-audit it with this homeless guy I just met. Wanna be our C/S?
The #1 FSM in London, Stephen, is not dropping “S” bombs, those are “$” bombs. He can probably get away with it because across the pond, the local blokes are familiar with £ instead of $, but they will soon get the idea.
Yes, if you are in the 1st world it IS hard to FSM as only 2% of the population has an I.Q. of less than 70. And of THOSE very low I.Q. people only a few percent have any money to spend.
I have an IQ of 65. It used to be 70, but, the more I did in Scientology, the stupider I got…
I finally found my ruin – it’s the Roman coliseum.
Yeah, well, my ruin is the Parthenon! So there!
It’s all Greek to me.
It’s all Geek to me…with a splash of colosseum.
“HCO, bring order!”
HCO bring burgers!
OSD, I.Q. shrinkage was the ONE common experience we all shared in scamology!
I’m sorry…who are you again?
Speak for yourself… you guys just don’t know what a good basketball score is. I perfected my dribble and going for 3 pointers is always a long shot. Scientology ain’t so bad, you just expect results with it that’s all. There aren’t any in that court!
That’s nothing! I was dribbling at age 2 weeks of age!
A prodigy, no less.
If they want to get more ‘ideal’ they should try this:
“Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.”
P. T. Barnum
Holy Cow! P. T. Barnum said THIS? Amazing. Because he also said, “Never give a sucker an even break.” Maybe he was schizophrenic or something.
What P.T. Barnum said was sometimes seemingly conflicting with his general philosophy and behavior, but L. Ron Hubbard was the same way. Both said many things that were really good, and others that were the complete opposite. But he was good at manipulating people, and successful with the circus he created. PT Barnum, the L.R.H. of the 1800’s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._T._Barnum
Phineas Taylor “P. T.” Barnum (July 5, 1810 – April 7, 1891) was an American politician, showman, and businessman remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus. Although Barnum was also an author, publisher, philanthropist, and for some time a politician, he said of himself, “I am a showman by profession…and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me” and his personal aim was “to put money in his own coffers”.
That’s because he was out of P.T.
I see Mighty Miami have their new reg lined up – the appropriately named ‘Robin Cash’!
That fellow gushing on about how greeaat ot8 was will no doubt be rubbishing it in a few months once he’s done the survival rundown or stupor power.
Soon to be joined by Monae Filcher, Rob U. Blind and Inya Wallits.
Now that is a milestone:Dropping the S bomb.
Thanks Mike.
Wow. It seems that the whole emphasis of Scientology now is amassing wealth for its leader and building alters and empty temples dedicated to the dream of filling them with thousands of slaves to the dogma of L. Ron Hubbard. This is group hypnosis. And the word cult certainly applies.
I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as a working phone booth anymore. The Ideal Diner does have a chromed covered pay phone but I’m sure it’s just there for decoration.
