I wonder if it’s just creating an opportunity to shoot a bunch of B-roll of current Scientologists eating hors d’oeuvres and attending sales and front group workshops, conveniently near Scn Media Productions, for filler in a NYE video. The weekend could include an event passing for NYE, in an in-house venue to cut down on Dave’s public exposure. First time I have seen reference to ABLE in awhile. Xenu help anyone who blows off a workshop to go to Knott’s Berry Farm.

I can see tiny T-Rex's flailing arms now. He personally built up the entire PAC Base LA area and the staff have done nothing with it for decades! Now it’s up to him AGAIN to put on an event to get LA back with it.

The whole promotion is just lines, lines, lines to lure people back.

Pandemic is over, get back to work LA!

It reeks of desperation. I would be surprised if it’s very busy. The first major line talks about learning to get people into Scientology. “Hey everybody, get your a$$e$ back here and fill up our orgs!!!!

The only thing iconic about Scientology in LA is Big Blue, so I'm guessing the big event will be on the street outside the building. For those who've been in for a while (old friends I still miss), the descriptions of the activities — drill with top FSMs, drill on dissemination, sell books like a pro, see Scientology buildings around LA — are a veiled way of saying "come get regged for services you don't need using money you don't have because you've already done all this, probably more than once". I wonder how many dreaded finding this in their inbox.

It reeks of desperation. And now all this attention on Los Angeles may be because Mark Bunker and others are doing such a good job of exposing Scn's bad deeds to the Clearwater residents so that they won't put up with this. So now he has to move it to LA since they aren't welcome in Clearwater. But what a joke. They'll tour empty buildings with few pcs and students. Even Way to Happiness building is on the list. Heck it was a morgue 30 years ago and has gone downhill since then. Nothing to see there. And I notice a "T Woodward" on one of their email addresses. The Sea Org Woodwards I knew must be in their 80's and 90's now. Anyone know who this one is?

I see that the FSMs are being featured in all of the 'celebration'. That makes the whole thing just like a time share sales contest. Imagine running into FSMs (salespeople) everywhere you go for the entire weekend. All of the local Clams already know about all of the area attractions and have either seen them or don't care. So who is the market that is being targeted? I can only assume out of towners or non-US citizens. This 'celebration' is like shooting fish in a barrel for the FSMs.

The only thing I'd like to see for the Blow-Out on LA for Scientology is to watch Missavage being led away in handcuffs. Now that would be a GREAT ending, don't ya think? Maybe then we'll find out how unraveled he'll be in court AND show us the money, you religious zealot!!!

It’s a business seminar!

Funny how Miscavige allows Big Blue to be the capital of Scientology and Clearwater is the “holy” land?!?!

Where LRH landed and Miscavige secured all the celebrities to sell his company mission, which is what, front groups and bullshit literature from a drugged up mad man?!?!

It's interesting(or maybe it isn't) that the standard sales pitch for scientology events, the opening of scientology orgs , and the recruitment of scientology staff all feature the "ideal tourist destination" doggie biscuit.

They can't GIVE AWAY "the greatest tech ever developed on the whole track" ; their "ideal orgs" are empty and barely staffed and the "world's fastest growing religion" is widely known for being the culty criminal enterprise El Bong Hublard always intended it to be. They NEVER show pictures of jam-packed orgs. Their alleged army of MILLIONS of "volunteer ministers" is featured daily and nightly on social media platforms and major media outlets, right? Um...no. And what are their masters of matter, energy, space, and time doing about wars, famine, climate change, poverty, etc. ? And where is the thetan-in-charge, the biggest "bean" on the planet, the holder of the keys to interstellar salvation? Well, word on the street is that he's hiding in an undisclosed location behind mercenary lawyers, sleazy private investigators, and cowed slaves, with a hefty stash of guns, cases of Macallan, and numbered accounts...

Scientologists, please wake up...and leave. With documents and videos if you can.

Question: Why did they put a WINKING smiley face at the end of that particular sentence?

I don't know about you, but it gives me a "we're joking/going to prank you" type vibe.
