This story must be some kind of misprint or something. . .
Because if Scientology wanted that magnificent historical building for an Ideal Org, certainly they would have not lost out to wogs.
I mean--all the paranormally powered OTs around the world making it go right with tone 40 intention and postulates could never be defeated by the counter-intention of some lowly untrained/unaudited DBs!
It's times like these when Scientology really misses the Commodore. He would have jumped all over this and found the why--and handled it! Probably by issuing a policy about psych plants within the COS, putting a head on a pike, issuing declares, overboarding saboteurs, chainlockering rock-slammers and discovering a spectacular new mandatory auditing action for all OTs called the "Clear Intention Rundown" that handles the wholetrack reason beings' postulates fail to work 100% of the time.
Naturally, in addition to sending out massive numbers of traveling registrars on a worldwide tour to ensure that everyone get this "missing step on the Bridge" handled, they would also begin an unprecedented fundraising drive for donations to acquire a very special building in a very special place to deliver the Clear Intention Rundown. Because it can only be standardly delivered in a distraction-free, totally safe space. Just like OT III requires a safe room at an Advanced Org, the "L's" require a Flag safe space, SuperPower requires a safe 200 million dollar building in Clearwater and OT VIII requires a safe 441 foot ship (Freewinds).
Ron would have also ensured that all Scientologists were fully briefed and r-factored that they should move up the Bridge and "uplines" to one of those super-safe-spaces as soon as possible. But in the meantime, they should all remain on lines and get auditing and training at their local unsafe Ideal Org.
