Quinn the Eskimo has been resurrected from the dead and is back in the Valley. Probably been doing some MEST work for a few months, but the stats got worse in his absence, so like a zombie that can never be permanently put to rest, heeee’s baaaaack.
Now certified as the largest ideal org on earth!! These people just don’t understand the meaning of the things they promote.
This is the largest org in the largest concentration of scientologists on earth. A dozen years after the “ideal org” program was announced as the most important strategy on earth, it is STILL NOT DONE.
What does that tell you about the rest of the “ideal orgs”? They are smaller and have less public and available whales than this failure of an org. Not to mention the incredible disappearing non-ideal orgs around the world.
Also fascinating to note they cannot even spell a four letter word – “MEGA.” It is really not that hard to spell is it?
And most interesting of all is the fact they are opening the SUMP on 30 April. A significant date for two reasons. It is the day after Ron Miscavige exclusive interview with Dan Harris on ABC appears. It is also David Miscavige’s birthday.
Reminds me of his strategy to deflect negative publicity on the Lisa McPherson case by holding a “groundbreaking ceremony” for the SP Building in Clearwater. It subsequently languished, unfinished for 15 years. SUMP will also be a big fat empty waste of time and money. But this is his strategy for counter-acting the fallout from the interview and then the release of the book a few days later. Good luck with that Dave.

Hi Phil, I liked your post.It shows me the creepy side of the cos coin.”Zombies that play the Pan Flute”what a great observation.In my old brain when I took mythology eons ago was not Apollo Master of the Pan Flute?

“So we are here and here until the done…” Agh, brain hurts.
MEGGA is Demento’s new acronym – Monstrously Egotistical Greedy Grasping Asshole (it’s strange but the US spelling is more apt this time than the English version).
Why don’t they drop all the “game, birthday, etc, etc” pretense and just straight out say, “Give us your money.” It would be so much simpler and they wouldn’t have to come up more preposterous lies and cons.
Sleepy says
Because they’d get less money.

I am shaking my head at “highly qualified donors”. Good grief.
Wendy M says
Good grief is right! He says they are working their butts off to get these highly qualified donors to attend the dinner. That is just another way of saying they are applying enormous pressure and undue influence. They turn an invitation into a subpoena.
But Quinn had me running back to my igloo with “Dear Humanitarian and Above.” That made me COL – curse out loud.
Gus Cox says
Yeah, Dave’s got some whales lined up to pay big for that SMP boondoggle, and Quinn’s trying to siphon some of their dough off for that Valley white elephant. “Highly qualified donors” = idiot whales.

Dave,
Looks like Ron,Sr is going to crash the opening of DM Studios and your birthday party.
How is it going with trying to groom Quinn to replace Laurie when she drops the bod?

Looks like Li’l Dave’s got a PTS Type A sit here. No auditing until handled. Oh, right – never mind.

And you, OSD, get to spoil the hell out of the newborn for as many years as you wish. And then go on home leaving the cleanup to your kids!!!
Old Surfer Dude says
Oh, he’s going to get spoiled alright.

Me either Peter! Your English is great. For you, skip the Super Literate course, you don’t need it. Go straight to the nearest Org, possibly even the one in the Valley, and route right on to your Class XII internship which is probably available there now as well in light of all the GAT advancements and improvements! That’s why they call them Ideal Orgs! 🙂
Old Surfer Dude says
Yes, it will be expanding by one. Our grandson will be half Vietnamese, a quarter Japanese and a quarter po’ white trailer trash. C’mon now, it’s good to have a little hillbilly blood every now and again!

Don’t forget the Scottish blood, which will make Baby Dude a handsome dude!

Hi Chee Chalker, You are so right about Scottish blood and OSD’s beautiful grandson! I forgot to tell him with my post that baby will be absolutely loved cherished and have the magic touch of Scotland in his heart.Love U,Ann

Yep, a quarter will be Scottish blood! Aye! He be a cheap little kid! Just like his Grandfather!
NOLAGirl says
Congrats to you and your family OSD. That’s one lucky little baby. ?❤
Old Surfer Dude says
Thanks, everyone! And, it’s a boy! My son was on the Junior PGA Golf Tour when he was just a kid. And he made a name for himself. My son’s pro stopped charging us after one year. He said, “As long as I’m his only pro, you don’t have to pay me anymore.” Well, Jimmy Caspio III (AKA Jimmy 3) is so excited that he’s going to train our grandson for free too. Starting at age 3. Our son almost made it to the PGA Tour, but, never quite got there. Between my son and his golf pro, Jimmy 3, our grandson is going to have two great coaches.
I’ll be teaching him surfing and music. And how to check out the babes without being obvious about it. Life has taken an amazing turn for us. Cory wanted a son and got it. They may try for a daughter too. Karen and I were up almost all night due to the excitement.
And last, but certainly not least, they’re looking to move to our beach city is a few years.
You know what? I’m skipping work today! Woo Hoo!!!
Mike Rinder says
So happy for you my friend. A new child in the world is the most magical thing in all of creation.
Old Surfer Dude says
Thank you, Mike! That means a lot to me coming from you. Since you have 2 boys, any suggestions you have are very welcome. Our son is starting his son in golf at age 3 (same as Tiger). Our son’s old golf pro has said he’ll train our grandson for free.
I’ll be teaching him how to surf and play music. Mike, like you probably were, I’m still on cloud nine! There are so many things going through my mind right now, it’s hard to shut it down. The happiness we feel is better, by a long ways, than anything you could get in scientology. Both Karen and I are still walking on air.
And so opens a brand new chapter in our lives…
1subgenius says
Truly.
And being able to appreciate that is more deeply rewarding and significant to a person’s spiritual well-being than any “OT” level.

I’ll check up in 20 years and see what your influence has done… should be interesting.
Old Surfer Dude says
Thanks, I Yawn! Life is indeed grand! My son is an exceptional golfer and started when he was 11. He played on the Junior PGA Golf Tour and made a name for himself. But, never got to the big Tour. My son’s pro, Jimmy Caspio III, is going to start our grandson playing golf at age 3. So, in 20 years when you check up to see what my influence (or actually his golf pro’s influence) has done, hopefully our grandson will be on the PGA Tour!
And, of course, he’ll be a surfer too! Whew! Can this get any better?
I Yawnalot says

Good news everybody – we are using Chris Shelton’s video’s on Q & A to get some friends to blow. Chris does an excellent job. Make it part of your “hat pack” on how to rehab someone’s DOUBT!
Also – for giggles – listen to a pod cast by “Ross and Carrie”; a program called “Oh No” where they went into the Los Angeles Org and did “services” and reported on what it was like.
It was great!

My Meggga’s bigger than your Megga! The mighty Quinn, huh. “You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.” I don’t think he’s very ‘mighty’ anymore….
Sleepy says
He’s migghty.
SILVIA says
As far as miscavige goes it is OK for Valley Org,if Valley (or any other Org. for that matter) keeps collecting money to renovate it…after all, the longer it take the more cash he steals.
Now, re his birthday, he will be ‘blown out’ for the many gifts he will receive…but the truth is that they come from people that are cowed and in terror of him, not a single honest friendly gift.
It sure sucks to be miscavige.
gato rojo says
It also sucks to be sea org personnel who have to cough up their pay for probably weeks to pay for a group/org gift to the Little Sleezeball every year, birthday and Christmas. Gold even had to do his and Shelly’s anniversary. One year at Gold, during a time we were not getting paid at all for weeks, his birthday was coming up and we were told that we’d get our full $50 pay for that week (massive cheers) but that it would all be donated to his gift from Gold crew. Cheers subsided. Truly amazing and under the thumb of a sociopath to keep him happy, buy him off for another day or so.
Aquamarine says
Amazing. He’s a true suppressive, sociopath, whatever term you prefer. You’d think he’d be doing the gifting to his hardworking underlings at Christmas and on their birthdays, giving bonuses, little bumps in pay, a beautifully wrapped small gift – SOMETHING. And with all that money the cult rakes in, you’d think he could buy his own expensive gifts and just accept very little, very modest and inexpensive gifts from his staff, considering how paltry their earnings are – just graciously accept whatever they’d give him, and be thankful, however modest it was, however he might not need or want it. That’s how a leader behaves with his staff. How does he live with himself. I really don’t get it – no, really, I’m not kidding.

To paraphrase Irving Berlin, “I’ve Got My Scotch To Keep Me Warm.’

2016-1995=21.
That means, according to this flyer, only 21 people have made “individual donations of ANY amount!” in the year 2016.
Interesting.
Old Surfer Dude says
Valerie, I like the term, “Laughable.” “Interesting is good, but, laughing at them is better.
Valerie says
OK I’m going to give them massive credit here. Since there is no date on the email, I’m going to assume that in 2 1/2 months rather than the 3 it probably is, they have gotten 21 donations. That would average 8.4 donations per month.
Their goal is 2016. At the rate they are going, they would have 100.8 (ok we will round it up to 101 donations by the end of 2016. They would fall 1916 donations short of their goal. Even at double the rate they are going right now, they would still fall 1814 donations short of their goal.
You are right. Laughable fits the likelihood of them even getting close to their goal.

Dear Mike, you are incorrect about their spelling of “Mega”. Apparently you are unaware of the special grammatical rules for spelling: Mega is used when the subject is really large. But when an extra “G” is added it correctly implies that it is “epically” large! HUGE, MASSIVE, LARGE, also known as & correctly spelled “MEGGA”
Valerie says
Lol Roger. I can see some good little boy has been reading their LRH dictionary this morning. ;-0
amovolare says
It is really true! Just try to google it now and… no results.
I bet in 2 days this site will come up, if enough people is wiriting it right.
So I Go: MEGGA, MEGGA, MEGGA means Epically large, Huge, Massive (hope that Google buys it).
Newcomer says
I can’t wait for the Meggga Face Plant by Dave when He learns that He will have to secretly backfund the Valley to make it happen.
Yo Dave,
Welcome to the New Age of Your Cult. You want an Idle Morgue ‘DONE’ to showcase your next event? Then BUY IT good buddy. Or beg Bob and Tom to help out. By the way Dave, is Bob the fourth biggest being on the planet these days; you know, right after El Con, You and Tom?
Aquamarine says
“You want an Idle Morgue ‘DONE’ to showcase your next event? The BUY IT good buddy”.
LOLing. Yes! TREAT yourself, Sir. You deserve this! Happy Birthday!
Old Surfer Dude says
Even if he ‘back funds’ the Valley to make it happen, THEY STILL DON’T HAVE ANYONE NEW COMING IN! It REALLY sucks being Miss Cabbage…
Aquamarine says
Right, apparently He will spend millions of dollars to maintain his false image as the “Expansion-Maker” of Scientology.
Someone should advise all these “parishioners” to quit donating for their Ideal Morgue, in that, at some point, it will become THEIR TURN for their org to be a MUST BE DONE, meaning that Miscavige will need to pony up the dough for the Idealness. Really, its just a matter of time, with every org.
Accordingly, here is a suggested handling for lurkers and UTRs: Avoid fundraising whenever possible with plausible excuses and without calling any attention to yourselves. When you can’t get out of it, go and dribble them $25 or so, and then ease on down the road out of the org and in due time, out of the cult altogether. Worked for me 🙂
Old Surfer Dude says
+1! Excellent post, Aqua! You’re on to something. And, gradually, they will all be funded my Miss Cabbage. I mean, how long can the Valley Morgue not be ideal??? Isn’t this shameful?
Newcomer says
” his false image as the “Expansion-Maker” of Scientology.”
Well Aqua, His Doo is the only thing expanding in this Hemetsphere. And it apparently is growing by leaps and bounds.
Yo Dildo,
Adding an inch to You Doo might move you from number Too to numero uno good buddy. Anyway, the only expansive thing happening in your universe is how much larger of an asshole you are today than yesterday. That’s my humble opinion anyhow. Take it with a grain of saltpeter and have another great day.
zemooo says
It’s nice that after a ‘revival meeting’ every other day for 2 months, the clams get 10 days off at the end of the cycle. This is why the term, ‘flogging a dead horse’ was invented. And it gives the minions the time necessary to get more blank checks from their bank. Can’t have the minions run out of checks.
McCarran says
It’s interesting the stages of david miscavige’s church. HE purged the church of any parishioner who was “reading the internet” (AKA finding out about david miscavige) or disaffecteds that were sick of being extorted for “donations” or bashed with sec checks or all of the above.
With those “loyal” few who are left, this is His game? Pathetic or in a word scientologists CAN spell, “Fucked.”
Aquamarine says
Nice morning zinger, McCarran.
Old Surfer Dude says
Yep, they’re Fucked alright. And not in a good way….
statpush says
Under DM, staff and public are suffering a form of PTSD. Think back to a time when you were “in”, the constant stress, the financial duress, the chronic fatigue, the continuous demands…it takes it’s toll. Its a no-win regardless of what game DM pulls out of his squeaky ass.
NOLAGirl says
“We all need to attend MV to turn over a “Compliance Report” to the BOSS”
What the fuck are you even talking about Quinn? You all have to pay to go on a cruise to turn over some report to Tiny Man so you can do work on your Org? You’d save a lot of time and energy if you just sent out note-cards that say “Give us all your money now. Assets or Ethics…your choice!”
Scientology – All we really want is your money and we’d prefer you turn it over with no questions asked.
Get out now lurkers. It’s only going to get worse.
hgc10 says
There is some significance to the all-caps BOSS. It tells me that when Quinn falls away from Scientology, he’s going to fall hard. I mean, he’ll hit the ground with an all-caps SPLAT.
NOLAGirl says
SPLAT or SQUISH when Dave tosses him under a bus.
james hollingsworth says
Assets or ethics, your choice. The best summation of the Co$ I’ve ever seen. NOLAGirl, you have OT perception! Scary, but in a good way…..
sashiebgood says
it’s so MEGA it needs an extra “G”!
honestly, don’t these people have to work? how is it possible for anyone to attend a month’s worth of events? I know most of them are in the same area, but if they’re going to be regged to within an inch of their lives, they better be working to make that money, not going to Atlanta…
Aquamarine says
“honestly, don’t these people have to work?”
Apparently not, sashiebgood.
For the last 10 years of my being in the cult I had 2 cells phones. I couldn’t just have 2 separate numbers on the same phone because I received so many work calls that I would get confused because staff, org public and OT members would call me using their cell phones and I frequently couldn’t tell a work call from a cult call.
My solution was to pay $50 a month for a separate PHONE with a separate number that was ONLY for the cult – NO ONE else called me on that number other than Scientology people. NONE of them had my work number.
The amount of calls and messages that piled up all day, every day, month in, month out, year in, year out, from Scientology orgs, was not to be believed.
Occasionally I’d answer and I would call select people back, but mostly I just let it all go to voicemail. The ringtone I always had on Vibrate and the thing vibrated all day long.
If I had paid even HALFWAY attention to these org calls I’d have been on the phone all day dealing with their nonsense and gotten nothing done.
I was UTR for nearly 2 years before leaving. Even before going UTR this was my solution for an entire decade to cult phone spam.
The cost ($50 per month X 12 X 10 = $6000) over a 10 year period of keeping them off my lines and keeping myself largely aggravation free was well worth it. I got a lot done.
sashiebgood says
that is amazing, Aqua… and then they wonder why people are not showing up to events? I think this was really nicely encapsulated by Oh No Ross and Carrie in their latest podcast. they signed up for the dianetics course and then received multiple phone calls to make sure that they were still coming, that Carrie should pay before the course (which she didn’t want to do), what their dietary requirements were (which were then ignored) etc. I’m a never in, but if I were ever to be that hounded by any church/group I had an interest in finding out about, I would quickly rethink my interest. Its so desperate and creepy, no?
Aquamarine says
Sashie, the calls never stopped. The same people for the same things, different people for different things, different people for the same things, the same people for different things.
And they NEVER take “no” for an answer.
“No” TO THEM means, “Possible yes, shunt to someone else to call”,
So a “no” will NEVER remove your name from any particular list of possible buyers/donors/event attendee, etc., UNTIL you say “yes”.
And sometimes even THEN you’re still on the list.
“Desperate and creepy” – yup.
My business entailed a lot of phone work in those days. Nowadays its mostly texting and email but back then I was on the phone practically all day.
When I hit on my 2 phone solution I had already endured 8 years of cult phone spam and been written up several times for not showing the proper respect when someone called me and asked me for the 12th time if I wanted to buy something or attend something – this, after 11 other people had called, and received the same answer: “No”.
.
At least in the beginning the staff would apologize for all the calls but at some point their attitude became more like, “Tough. Deal with it”.
So I did.
Per LRH, I became “Theta, The Problem Solver” 🙂
It was a question of getting my work done and keeping my business going, OR talking to THEM all day.
Aquamarine says
Also I deducted the cost of my “org” phone from my income tax because that phone was a necessary expense in order for me to DO any business, no humor intended.
Aquamarine says
One more thing: I stayed because I liked the tech. It helped me. Pretty much everything else I loathed with a purple passion but because I liked the tech and I was grateful to the staff for delivering it to me, so I stayed. FYI, I was always a public, never staff, so I definitely had an easier time of things than the majority of all posters here.
Ann B Watson says
Hi Aquamarine, Thank you for your post. As public and as you posted you liked the tech and stayed around because the staff were good and I imagine as I felt in the beginning that the tech could work wonders.
I wanted you to know for me you are just as important a link in the chain we have all forged together in order to bring the truth about this cult into the light.Anyone who has been touched by cos and found the real church behind the curtain is a hero to me.Any still in staff who make the leap to leave are heroes to me.Any public who decides the cos road is not going in the true direction they thought it would are heroes to me.And you especially who helped me so much in early 2015 when I was petrified to have breast cancer.You pulled me right up and said I could do it and here I am in 2016 in remission till the next film at the end of May.And I am being Positive about that too.Forever Thank You Aquamarine.xo Ann.
Aquamarine says
Ann, you are very kind and generous to validate me as you just have. I don’t feel I deserve it but I gratefully accept what you’ve said. And I’m very happy to hear that I helped you in early 2015, that my comm to you “pulled you right up”. I had no idea! Thank you, Ann. You’ve made my day, and I thrilled to hear that you are in remission. I’m postulating right now that you stay that way and live out the rest of a long lifetime in peace, safety and comfort.

“The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks is an excellent reference. Might also apply to defending against sciobots.
Here are the first four top lessons from the back cover: 1. Organize before they rise! 2. They feel no fear, why should you? 3. Use your head: cut off theirs. 4. Blades don’t need reloading.
(what the heck, I’ll finish the list)
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

But, Pete, really, what kind of pies are Zompies? Is it like when you take a bite of a Zompie pie, you become a Zompie pie too? Or do you become a run of the mill Zombie?
Sleepy says
Zompies only eat pie in the sky.
