Front page news story - Trementina Base covered!

[Freeminds]

Yes lollygagging was never approved when I was in the SO, I presume that the little elves are busy underground recording 'scriptures' onto gold disks ...

I feel it's important to explain that ONCE AGAIN the Scientology victims got fleeced on that one.

Recording L Ron Retard's work onto gold discs sounds ever so permanent, doesn't it? Make them survive for centuries, so mankind can once again discover Dianetics if civilisation is disrupted, and so on.

It's horseshit.

Early recordable CD-Rom discs contained gold. In the 1980s, a blank CD-Rom cost about $20, and they were generally only used by recording studios for mastering. In the industry, and in computing as a whole, they were called "gold discs".

Each one contained a thin, thin film of gold, so sparse you can see a bright light through them. At the time of the Trementina project to record LRH's drug-induced lectures, home movies and the like onto disk, they probably cost about $10 each... yet many Scientology victims paid thousands of dollars to "ensure LRH's legacy".

Most of the money extorted was obviously not required for this. A computer was $2,500 tops, a CD burner was maybe $600, and Sea Org slaves will have provided free labour. Even with Hubbard's prodigious outpouring of shite, you'd fit it all on maybe a hundred discs.

"On gold discs", sure... but "preserved"? My arse. Recordable disc media has shown a tendency to delaminate and become unreadable around the 20 year mark. (And ten years from now, ain't nobody going to have a CD reader, incidentally...)

Oh, and all the gold in all those discs? It's probably worth about $0.25.

Scientology's bait and switch, as usual.

But a $100million secure remote site with hidden aerial mountaintop access.. every cult needs at least one of those.

Uninhabited: No people were observed on the grounds of the remote Scientology base, with only a dog walking around...

Maybe after all the Fall of the Evil Empire will be a prosecution for cruelty to animals.

Why not call animal cops now ?

When I was given a tour of the "LRH Preservation Project" display, they had a little mock-up of what it would be like when finished. We were ushered into a "vault" where they had one LRH lecture on a "gold disk". It was on, essentially, an LP disk - you know, physical, not digital. The player was just a phonograph player, but powered by solar and hand-cranked and "oh, so special". I'm sure you could have put any old vinyl LP record on it, and it would have played just fine. Primitive technology -- but I guess that was the point. Civilization has collapsed and there are no more computers, you could still "listen to LRH's wisdom" with nothing more than your own hand-cranking.

Yeah, it was and is a complete scam.

Cool comment on the site:

"The only visitors that place should be getting is from a very large fleet of ambulances chock full of men in white coats carrying strait-jackets to help in the removal to a place of safety all members of scientology!"


I mused that the state could inexpensively solve the $cientology problem, without massive litigation, raids, trials....
Just place a sign in front of every $cientology property:

"Home for the criminally insane"

I was in $cn when they were raising funds for it's construction. So, people at my org were aware of the project. I thought it was looney. I mean if $cn had all the answers to human conflict, what would be the worry? What were the OT levels about if they could not come up with solutions which would astound the world and follow their leadership, etc..
