OT Phenomena
How “OT” is it to visit a friend in a foreign city and forget to bring his address and phone number??
Curing amnesia on the “Whole Track”? Hahaha The OT levels don’t cure amnesia after breakfast.
No big surprise
If you are flying in from all corners of the world in order to take advantage of the low prices they offer at AO Africa (compared to the other AO’s, the prices are not “low”), you probably don’t want to be paying airfares for repeat trips. It’s a long way to Africa and a lot of money…
It’s the final race to the finish line…
The only thought in these people’s minds: When TF is this going to finally be over?
Oh, they forgot to highlight Wick Allcock…
He will share his first-hand experiences, but probably won’t mention his arrest for shoplifting in Clearwater…
In the Sea Org for 53 years, most of them driving buses.
She gets them “moving and grooving”
On a billing with Wick Allcock, it’s hard to know who should be featured first.
Wonder who writes this copy?
Professional scientologist
The Student Hat now qualifies you for that title?
I guess she might be the only person on any “training” in Chicago org.
Why?
Highlighting failure, Valley Org reminiscing about the one and only time when they had people in their auditorium — at the “Grand Opening weekend.”
A distant memory.
She’s not even in Chicago?
Wonder if she will actually make it there, and if she does, how long she will last?
Kiddie Corner
Still fundraising in Melbourne
They scraped up about 75 people for the “most important, earth-shaking, mind-blowing, watershed, over-the-top, exciting” event. But give credit where it’s due, there are only a handful of orgs on earth that probably had that many show up.
138 books in 3 months…
Some orgs used to sell 100 books a DAY.
And no doubt most of these “books” are the $5 “handbooks” on “how to have a happy relationship.”
“This time we make it all the way”
When was last time?
Or is this referring to Magniu
“WHY CHICAGO? WHY NOW?” – Palmer Dernehl.
“Well, if you MUST know, its because I call myself a singer and a songwriter but nobody knows who the hell I am, and, frankly, it feels good to be love-bombed by all my Scientology friends and the Sea Org members for signing a staff contract. Plus I’m also supposed to be a model and an actress as well, and that too has been going nowhere, and meanwhile I’m not getting any younger, I’m getting close to my Hollywood shelf life without scoring any role of importance, and its kind of depressing, if you want the truth. That’s right, I’m depressed. In short, all of this acknowledgement, all of this attention and praise I’m getting, however temporary it may be, is balm to my soul, and it saves my ego too because I can always tell people that I forfeited a tremendously promising career to help Mankind and Clear the Planet.” — Palmer Dernehl
One thing that has never happened, but which I expected, all through my Sea Org and Scientology life, was that the leaders failed to become Staff Status 7 and 8.
In a Hubbard Flag Ship Order, one I used to post in the OODs almost weekly, stated that all Sea Org members become Class 8 and OEC trained. (Which when you update this, that means they become eventually Class 12 and OEC/FEBC/PR trained.)
It never was widely pushed, to expect the Scientologists, all of them, to get up to Class 8 at least, and for staff, to get up to Class 12.
The movement members don’t really push themselves nor does Miscavige, nor any of the other leaders all through my time, 75 to 03, never pushed or targetted out to get themselves up to Class 12
Miscavige has had ample years to become a Class 8, Class 9 and Class 12, but he hasn’t.
It’s almost a key failure that the runway to become a Class 12 is impossible, but it’s a condemnation of the subject that the leaders aren’t all Class 12s.
Gosh, that Melbourne photo shocks me to see so many kids and teenagers being drawn still today. I just finished your book and now I’m reading Steve Cannane’s. Both remind me that high control groups are an important child-protection issue for policy makers in Australia.
Hi Mike,
I was curious how you get issues from Central Ohio.
Maybe going OT can help me find my TV remote in the couch.
Jerry,
Not to disappoint you but many OTs have already communicated this problem. Recently a special Closed Door Briefing by COB was given to select OTs on the Freewinds concerning this.
Now of course much of this CDB data was confidential however the good news is, I have it on VERY good authority that finding your TV remote in the couch is one of the MAJOR EPs of OT9.
But of course although they’re all written up, OT9 & 10 cannot be released until ALL Scientology orgs are Ideal.
Frankly, its a tangle!
But as we know, the way out is the way thru.
COB urged all the OTs to closely inspect EVERY way they could possibly contribute every possible material asset of theirs in order to make the Ideal Org program a 100% success – even if it would entail selling their TVs on Ebay. In which case they wouldn’t need a remote anyway, he said.
Hope this helps.
That’s a pretty good OT phenomenon.
But not as good as the classic “my head was spinning so bad when I walked around after doing my auditing that I stepped off the top of the stairs and fell down, taking full charge and narrowly avoided getting my head smashed in.”
Thanks, COB!!!!
Off Topic: Amazon just notified me that SmileAmazon is closing down. Aftermath Foundation will need to do a bit of promoting to keep new monies coming in the reserve. 🙁
Unfortunately some SO workers have to turn to shoplifting just to get enough to eat. 🙁 This gives sleazy lawyers like Kendrick Moxon a chance to demean and punish them for a problem Scientology caused! Brilliant!
OTT Phenomenanana:
‘A few years ago I went to visit a friend in one of Italy’s most popular seaside towns. It must draw nearly a million vacationers each summer. I arrived in the town planning to meet my friend, but when I looked in my wallet for the card with his address and phone number, I couldn’t find it. That’s when I realised I had forgotten it at home, and there was no one there to retrieve it for me. “Ah, no problem,” I thought to myself “nothing simpler than to look my friend up in the local phone book!” It took me a very long time to find a phone-box, and when I did, it seemed to have been used as a restroom rather than for making calls, with the phone-book used as TP. Fortunately someone (who must have been another OT in disguise) noticed my plight and with the help of a small hand-held device he called “un cellulare” soon found my friend for me. Who knew Italy was so technologically sophisticated? Not me — but then again, I’d not been back there since my honeymoon in 1961.’ — W.T.F
I love that the ad for AOSH Africa is chock full of white people. I know it’s South Africa, but it reminds me so much of “I Am Africa” from The Book of Mormon
“Curing amnesia on the whole track.”
That’s funny.
I know OTs who I’d bet big money wouldn’t be able to recall what they ate for lunch yesterday.
To paraphrase Jason Beghe, “Show me a f**king OT!”
Seriously, Going OT is the rip-off of the century.
Yo Still Ins.
By all means, go OT if you’ve got money to burn and nothing else to do.
Go OT, but if you think going OT alone is going to prevent you from losing your memory or getting cancer or a heart attack, think again, because beaucoup evidence indicates otherwise.
“Cause over MEST”, my ass.
Much love,
Aqua
“Curing amnesia on the whole track.”
That’s a misprint, it should have read “Causing amnesia on the whole track.”
How else are they going to gouging returnees if they cure amnesia. Can’t have them remembering even a few of the however many of the zillions of time they were bled dry of whatever currency was in use each time. $camology would consist, in this part of time, of a raving dishevelled and grimy little man living in a filthy shack surrounded by piles of empty bottles and screaming at anyone who walked past about how he used be someone that others looked down…I mean up…to.
You’re spot on, GL. Still Ins have memories like sieves. If they could remember what was important they’d remember ALL the promises made them for the past 30 years at Int Events; the many promises one after another about COB having finally found “The Real Why” and thus opening the door fora plan for Planetary Clearing “in THIS lifetime”. A parade of “Real Why’s” going back to 1988, one after the other going back over 30 years. Sickening. And they keep accepting whatever this criminal tells them, and paying for it – paying thru the nose for whatever the Real Why Flavor of the Year happens to be, believing in it, going into debt for it…until it peters out, and next “Real Why” is furnished. Very sad to see this. Sad and sickening. They don’t have memories, these OTs, they’re robots, continually programmable in present time to believe whatever they’re being told at the moment. And getting continually stressed, physically sick and financially screwed all the while. Some OTs…yeah. End of rant, thank you.
Would that be Mr. & Mrs. Beats having just donated 50k? Wow… What to do on an evening like that when you’re not that wealthy… 🤷♂️
Ah, Melbourne Org.
After the New Year’s event featuring Dear Leader, they play a game of Pass The Pen.
Wonder how much loot they took in?
Magnus at the Malmoe Ideal Org above is living in apartment 1001 at Solgatan 19 together with 3 other men, age 40 to 65, and those do not have any typical swedish name. Guess these 4 guys are not living in a 2D (!)
More like a 3D and they all work at the same place to save our planet;-)
They rent this little apartment built 1920 , 44m²= 473.6120ft²
What a life for a 60+ years old!

“The reason I joined back staff is simply that I know too much.”
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!!
If he knows too much, he should know that Scientology is on its way out and that joining staff at an Idle Morgue was a bad idea.
“The reason I joined back staff is simply that I know too much.”
Um…”joined back staff”?
English grammar could be safely eliminated from that of which this man knows too much.
Maybe he needs to do his Student Hat all over.
I’m still looking for a copy of The Sensuous Dirty Old Man by Dr. A (Issac Asimov)
You could try –
https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/sensuous-dirty-old-man/author/isaac-asimov/
Seems it hasn’t been reprinted in many many years.
You could also try, but I expect you’ll pay through the nose using Amazon –

Dave, look at how happy and free the sh*t-eater is. When are you going to beat him at his own game?
Christian Garcia isn’t in the Sea Org yet?
They could just order him to wear civilian clothes for the photo shoot.
The first picture from Melbourne was taken in a darkened room. And yet I could see! I could see a LOT of WHITE HAIRED heads!
Aargh. Ughh. Urgg. Poo. Yuck.
That about sums it up.
Except – did the guy at Melbourne sleep in that shirt? Why do so many look so rumpled?
Just curious.
They can’t afford new clothes and the electricity to wash their gear more than once a month because the regges are continually bleeding them for money?
I’ve been wondering if some of the Chicago staff recruits are really elsewhere. And if the contracts they’ve signed are conditional, so they won’t have to actually show up until the org is opened, “booming” and in need of hundreds of staff – which of course isn’t going to happen.
