It’s been difficult for us to get back on track after the feelings we’ve been experiencing since Mike Rinder left us Sunday, and the tributes to him keep coming in — we’ll have even more of them for you tomorrow.
Thank you for explaining the legal intricacies so well. And thank you again for making this whole subject and all of its ongoing history your life’s focus. There is no one like you or this substack/blog on this subject.
1. What do you think it will really take to complete raising all funds for an Ideal USA? [We're asking this in a vague manner because it's the setup to the rest.]
2. What do you think will be the result of having an All Ideal USA? [This is to give us something to use later when we tell you why you need to give more money. Plus, then we can truthfully say not all the questions were about fundraising.]
3. Which of the following best describes the characteristics that will need to be displayed to achieve the target of all funds raised for an Ideal USA? [This is to help us with future fundraising marketing. Also, they will feel bad if they don't think they match those words.]
4. What part do you currently play in achieving this goal? [Start the guilt trip question.]
5. What could you do to increase your participation to what it will actually take to achieve this goal this year? [This is to make them commit themselves to something.]
6. What would most help you to achieve this? [This is to find overts we can use against them, like if they say they need less bugging to also hit their next IAS status.]
Hmm ideal US. Does this mean every resident of the US will have sterile shiny residences with video screens explaining the extent of their brainwashing? Or, maybe it means Scientology has gotten the hint and they are removing themselves from the US. That would be ideal. The shiny happy people in their ads are no reflection on life behind the closed doors. No amount of PR will change that fact.
Questionnaires and telephone polls are often used to try to get some point over to the recipient. All that 'how to achieve the target of all funds raised for an Ideal USA?' forgot a few things, like the ability and the willingness to pay.
The sudden appearance of many NYC and Long Island 'activities' bespoke some new Sea bOrg honcho cracking the whip on the locals. I haven't seen anything similar in Western NY.
Again with the lawsuit games. If the judge allows depositions, he had better manage that process himself. The $cieno lawyers will play their usual games otherwise.
As far as I know, CoS never takes into account the willingness and ability to pay for anything - including courses/services, travel to and lodging for upper level training locations, IAS donations, support to their front groups, etc. Hence the Chase Wave and member to member involuntary loan programs that have caused big issues.
One scientology "Course" they ought to create and give for free:
"Never Spend More Than You Make Course" and have ALL Scientologists do it, including the Scientology salespeople, so Scientology salespeople don't force "fixed donations" out of the followers putting the followers into debt.
I can't believe in the movement's history, that official Scientology has not stamped this Hubbard policy into permanence.
During Miscavige's years as Scientology "leader" the putting followers into debt has been the worst in the movement's history.
