This post is fixed here as a landing spot for new arrivals.
If you become independent of the Church of Scientology, you will be exposed to new data on Ron’s life and career, the development of the technology, and an intimate history of the Church that you have never seen before.

People who seemed pliant and gullible or who did any kind of tech training in Orange County and Arizona got an unpleasant surprise in the mail this week.
What they got was a mailer containing a 5-minute DVD, accompanied by an letter from the Senior C/S WUS that was already sent out via e-mail, plus some other unsurveyed promo and a questionnaire/response form.It’s actually a rather expensive mailer to send to unqualified and untested prospects.
This was received 2 days after the “ethnic survey” that went out in e-mail, so we know that the result of the survey wasn’t used in this promo.
That’s another signal that an operation is a Miscavige operation. Given an opportunity to maximize success by doing a survey, plow on forward with the operation before the results of the survey can be utilized. Successful companies would try to coordinate to reap the benefits of surveys before sending out recruiting promo.
In Miscavige-land one does everything possible to make sure things are disparate, individuated, and most of all un-coordinated.

Scientologists practicing outside the official corporate church hate Scientology, Inc. because the Church actually spends time and effort making Scientologists look like brainwashed cult members.
Our friend Magnus has gotten overrun in the past four days with crapola e-mails flooding his in-box from Orange County Idle Org.
The thing that’s really getting his goat is the constant flow of “here’s our latest gulli-bulls” videos.
Interestingly, the videos are on YouTube they are private, which means they can be only accessed if you know the secret YouTube access code.
I don’t usually put up posts for journalists, like Tony Ortega, but I want to make sure he knows these mockable videos are up on YouTube.
I also wanted to publicize the secret YouTube codes so someone can snatch the videos before Miscavige orders them removed. In the past, when widespread ridicule of the Phoenix Ideal Org “giddy-video” was recognized by the Church, it was ordered taken down by the Church and was almost lost to the world forever. But fortunately, someone had captured it and was able to repost it on YouTube within 48 hours.

One of the recurrent themes in Scientology, Inc. is that “everything’s an emergency”. I remember that when the Tech Volumes came out in 1991, I opened one that a salesman at the event thrust at me and got red ink all over my hands and clothes — the ink inside the volume wasn’t even dry yet! This operating state is no longer just for genuine emergencies, it’s constant. And we’re tired of it.
When I was in the computer industry, I often consoled myself with the maxim “What seems important to you is not necessarily an emergency for me.”
I usually invoked it when some manager had a distorted sense of time, or distorted sense of size of task, or distorted expectation in the size of the profits…and was trying to get me to rush something that was obviously going to lose quality invisibly in the middle of sorting out the rush.
I had to console myself with that maxim again this week, when a new symptom appeared as a breach in the armor of the Miscavige façade.
If you watched the 2012 LRH Birthday Event, you saw Miscavige boasting twice that there will be one Idyllic Org opened every month this year.

Scientology, Inc. is going bonkers these days.
The evidence is that the Ideal Orgites shot their wad getting the Idle Org program to the point it was at the beginning of the year 2012, but now they’ve discovered to their dismay, that (1) there’s not as many Scientologists in the world as they were told and (2) of the Scientologists they can find very few are trained auditors, and (3) of the trained auditors they can find, very few of them have done the GAT, and (4) of the GAT-trained auditors they can find, very few of them want to be on Idle Org staff.
So reality has come up and hit Miscavige in the face like he stepped on a rake!
And in the same week that I write a post about failure to do ethnic surveys, Miscavige uses e-mail to send out…a survey!
Yesterday (Saturday) our old friend Magnus received an email with a link in it to a Scientology, Inc.-sponsored technical staff survey.

I am getting overrun on the arrogance exhibited by the Radical Corporate Church of Scientology.
When these newly-recruited, untrained staff members for the Ideal Orgs call people on a list, they’ve got no idea who you are. All they know is that they’ve been told that “the people on this list are Scientologists and have to be called to come into the org to be recovered (recruited, interviewed, make donations).
And these teeny-boppers haven’t even done a Communication Course, much less a Professional TRs course.
So the exchange goes something like this:

Wouldn’t you know it?
In the week that I start pointing out Miscavige’s failure to produce products, I get issue 222 of Source magazine in the mail.
Right there on page 4 is a sidebar article that inadvertently shows how much Miscavige has been lying about “expansion”.
On its surface, it seems like good news. But if you even think about it a little bit, it shows Miscavige’s “explosive expansion” for the tenuous disingenuousness that it really is.
The article is after the jump.
Number of views:1660This week, coincidentally enough, Fox News ran a story by John Stossel called Stupid in America.
It was a welcome coincidence because it served to underscore for me that I was pursuing the correct line of thinking by insisting that Miscavige produce products.
What first locked my attention on the show was Stossel used AN ACTUAL GRAPH to explain that the US education system didn’t produce products.
He was particularly annoyed that even though the price of education had tripled, the visible result in the test scores had barely changed.
In other words: NO PRODUCT.
You can readily see that there’s no product shown in this graph from the increased spending.
Unlike what’s happening in Miscavige’s statistics and graphs, which are manipulated and skewed* to hide the underlying truth that no products are resulting.

There are all sorts of reasons why this was done: to avoid ridicule by unbelievers and scoffers; to avoid repercussions if the information was used unwisely, to ensure that access to this secret “upper level” data could only be obtained by paying an authorized organization for auditing and training.
Actually, this “secret data” about entities and spirits of all kinds has been known for thousands of years and is part of the religious lore of ancient and modern religions. Exorcism in one form or other has been practiced for a very long time. Prayers to spirit guides is a part of many modern belief systems.
The belief in harmful and beneficial spirits is widespread today in all walks of life. Many people spend their lives being haunted by hostile spirits while others guide their lives through the help they receive from entities which they call spirit guides.
I prefer to use entity instead of spirit, thetan, body thetan, or any of the other terms which have been used to describe a life unit.
I feel that Ron Hubbard made a significant contribution to mankind’s progress by applying an analytical approach to learning the capabilities of these spiritual beings.
I feel the church made a wrong turn when entities were wilfully ignored in regular auditing.
Every process run in the presence of active entities can cause Out list and Out Int phenomena when the entities are not recognized and handled. Security checks and confessionals can also restimulate entities and this is not handled by getting the pc to get off his or her overts.
I feel that every pc who wants to know about entities should have access to the true data in a form that is readily assimilated.

This post includes an extract from the LRH 2012 Birthday event.
Let me say at first that Miscavige did better than usual at this event, because there were fewer easily-disproved lies presented in this event than in previous events. His over-the edge claims seemed to be attenuated compared to, for example, the 2011 IAS event or the 2011 OT Summit events.
That said, there’s still problems with Miscavige’s presentation in the event.
First, take a look at the event excerpt here:

If you read my article earlier this week, you understand the difference between a statistic and a product.
Let’s get down to why this is all so important.
In HCO Info Letter 14 April 1961 I PE HANDOUT LRH says The purpose of Scientology is to make the able more able.
In HCO PL 31 January 1983 THE REASON FOR ORGS, LRH says: The only reason orgs exist is to sell and deliver materials and service to the public and get in public to sell and deliver to. The object is totally freed beings.
In LRH ED 67 INT HOW TO RAISE STATS, LRH says: Auditors are valuable. An org is valuable if it audits and trains auditors. If an org is valuable, it will get paid by the public to be there. But it is only valuable if it audits and trains auditors.
In HCO PL 1 September 1965 VII ETHICS PROTECTION, LRH says The purpose of the org is to get the show on the road and keep it going. This means production.
In Scientology, we hold that the way people become more able and more free is by receiving auditing, and moving up the processing side of the Bridge. Education also helps make a person more able, but it does not Clear people. That’s why there’s two sides to the bridge.
