Thanks.

OK, I read all of that, but no real explanation of what all those weird devices do. I did get from it that they are saying it's something from their guru, it just has taken a long time to implement.
This guest post by Dan Koon on Mike's blog may fill in some of the missing information:

Superpower — The Facts

http://www.mikerindersblog.org/superpower-the-facts/

Intro:
A write up by Dan Koon about Super Power has just appeared on Operation Clambake (see here).

Because I have had so much to say about the subject of its “imminent” release, I am republishing Dan’s write up here in full (though if you want the attachments referenced, go to Clambake, I have not attached them or linked to them here).

If there is one person who knows the story of Super Power — what it contains and what it is supposed to accomplish — it is Dan Koon. His recollections may help distinguish the hype from reality and help make clear just what a boondoggle the entire Super Power pitch is — both in terms of the actual technology it contains (the majority of which is NOT new) and even more so the need for a grandiose marble palace in which to make it available to those who have paid beaucoup bucks for the privilege of receiving a handling designed to rehabilitate staff assigned to the RPF as List One R/Sers.


Update: Dan just made a comment on Facebook clarifying that the prerequisites for Super Power are a Drug Rundown and C/S 53 to F/Ning list. ONLY.

OK, I finally get it;

The perceptic drills are based on a line or two in some of Laffy's ramblings. That's just too profound! Let's see what happens when you put your entire existence in the hands of a lunatic 'source-erer'. Especially while he is a multi-millionare! LOL!

Oh shit! :hysterical:

Whoa! And I worked with Captain Bill at one time! LOL I was kinda wondering when he would have had time to grow a porno mustache and get back into his SO uniform with those guys who declared him already! HolyHell, my time track needs repair!!!

I guess the thing that fooled me the most was Warrant Officer Spurlock's Kult-Krazy-Ksw eyes.

WARNING: Watching the following video more than 3 minutes
is likely to produce months of OMFGITBITFSO nightmares.

(Oh my fucking god I'm trapped back in the fucking Sea Org!)

How pecuriously insane (video). Thanks, HH, I think. :coolwink:
Interesting how the history sometimes repeats itself.

Captain Bill in that video says "handle",

and lots of scientologists go around trying to "handle" things and sits and people.

"handle" actually means in the scientology world "to sell, convince, manipulate, control" imho.

I wonder which room this machine is in? It will surely help you go exterior! Sort of like that great process from The Creation of Human Ability, R2-45.

R2-40V100A I believe is your reference. It is a sure-fire exteriorization process.

WARNING! PHOTO ID REQUIRED!

Mike: Big Brother Is Watching
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/big-brother-is-watching/

Excerpt <snipped> :Some forms were passed around to fill out and submit to the FSO along with photos of oneself, because just like the outer org trainees all have photo ID “Passes” we will all need them as well. These Access Cards will be needed, and if we can all get ours done early, it will avoid us being in the “Rush” to get everybody done when the New Flag Building opens.

Anyone know what sort of photo IDs the current Flag OOTs are using? When I was at the HGB/PAC in the 90s the regular SO photo ID used a mag stripe and to get through doors etc. you swiped it and entered your PIN.

But that was 20-25 years ago. Now there are NFC chips and RFID tags. With RFID tags inside the building, depending on the type of tag, they could maintain a real-time view of where all the tags were at any second. You can take the tag off, but I guess it would be an ethics offense to do so as I doubt even the cult would require implanted chips, even with a less-troubling (for Scios) name.

The referenced picture seems to closely resemble a WWII Naval meeting held by the German Navy (Deutche Kriegsmarine) in 1943 in Flensburg, Germany, when it was announced that submarine losses were too high to justify their further deployment due to new anti-submarine tech developed by the Allied Navies.

In answer to a question posted by Gib which I never saw answered, the policy of who was to replace Hubbard was not necessarily covered in a stand alone HCOB or HCOPL but is covered in detail in Hubbard's conditions formulas, especially the Power Change Formula. In a dictatorship, probably the only person who must appoint and approve his successor is the dictator himself. He needs to choose his own successor, probably based on stats, and then apply the Power change formula. Hubbard appears to have started this process in 1981 or 1982 by appointing David Mayo to take over tech but then for some reason which is not generally known, he just dropped the ball without appointing anyone or doing any sort of Power Change formula.

Thanks Lakey. But the question posed an omitted which is the hardest outpoint to spot. I think I read it somewhere RVY asked the same question. Hubbard was keen on hat write-up's. Why didn't hubbard leave one? For real and not conjecture.

I brought this question up to C.O. when I first made contact with him in 2007. He responded with something that at least partially answers your question. He pointed out that the Green on White Management volumes contained the Hat Write Ups for all admin posts while the Red on White Tech volumes did the same for all tech posts. Thus these volumes precluded the necessity for Hubbard to write individual hat write ups for all of his hats.

There is merit in his comments but they don't handle the question in full. Hat Write Ups had a specific form. There were items A to I, or was it A to J, either 9 or 10 items having to do with key elements of a post. The Purpose, Product and Ideal Scene of a post were listed first, the stats associated with the post were named, There was an item which covered that posts position on the Org Board and showed the post's "awareness characteristics". The item which I remember best is a diagram of the flow lines of the post. A circle would be drawn on a page and all other posts this post interacted with would be shown without inward or outward pointing arrows representing inflow and outflow.

I arrived on the Apollo in October, 1973, Hubbard was aboard and I believed that with him there each and every post would have a perfect Hat Write Up for it. As it turned out, I was assigned to 2 posts, one of them a high executive post, and neither post had a Hat Write Up, not even one sheet of paper. I was given the command, Start!, having no hatting for my post and no Hat Write Up. The Apollo in 1973 was in total COPE mode. Hubbard made no push to insure Hat Write Ups existed for each post!!

Getting into your original question, Hubbard seemed to start doing hat turn overs by appointing Mayo to handle Tech upon his imminent death. Appointing Bill Franks ED Int was another move in this direction but then things just stopped cold in 1982. Hubbard is known to have had a stroke in 1982 and was incapacitated for awhile. That probably stopped him from more appointments in '82. In '83 he could have worked on hat turnovers but choose not to do so. After a time, he was out of the loop, with the organization and all communications to and from him being monitored by DM. Perhaps he did do some hat write ups and DM stopped them from going through but I don't think that is what happened. Instead of hat write ups, he instead issued endless "Advices" to management having to do with local situations at INT. These "Advices" were organized into large files and were not shared with staff or public; only DM and some of his top aides were allowed to see them.

Thus a hidden data line, which was never supposed to exist in Scientology, was formed. Since these "Advices" were dated later than any policies or tech bulletins which Hubbard wrote, DM used this fact to decide that the"Advice" was senior to Policy whenever a Policy and an "Advice" conflicted. Advices were only intended by Hubbard to handle existing local conditions while Policy was supposed to broadly delineate how C of S was to carry out it's business. DM saw it differently and deemed that the advices were senior.
DM also made the decision that the Advices would not be shown to rank and file staff nor to the public.

Those two decisions set the course for how C of S would be run. The public and staff were told there was "no hidden data line" but one now existed. Loyal staff would constantly cite Policy and DM would over rule them. If they persisted, they would be dealt with harshly, RPFed, etc. DM didn't feel that he had to explain anything to them. They were his juniors and expected to follow his orders without question, and if they questioned anything, for any reason, the were either "rehabilitated" or declared SP and kicked out.

Meanwhile, Hubbard, in a deteriorating state, both physically and mentally, was busy writing "advices" for management, never dreaming that those "advices" were being considered senior to policy nor realizing that they were being made into a hidden data line. By '84, '85, he was in no condition to write up all his hats and probably was no longer all that concerned about how the C of S would operate after he died. He probably felt that he had done everything he could to insure that scientology would survive his death, so he turned his administrative affairs over to the Broekers, and let the chips fall as they may as far as hat turnover's went. He probably figured that the most "causative" person would become his assistant and it was best if he just allowed others to fight it out. One thing he failed to consider was the ethics level of the most causative person.

Church of Scientology fined for felling healthy trees on event site

Tampa Bay Times: Church of Scientology fined for felling healthy trees on event site
http://www.tampabay.com/news/growth...r-felling-healthy-trees-on-event-site/2138607

Excerpt:
CLEARWATER — The city told them no, but the Church of Scientology did it anyway, cutting down two healthy live-oak trees this weekend near their downtown headquarters to make way for a massive tent being erected for an international gathering of Scientologists in November.

The removal of the approximately 20-foot-tall trees caught city officials and even the church's own contracted arborist by surprise on Monday.

"I was working on relocating those trees," said Rick Albee, a retired Clearwater arborist who now owns his own consulting company, Urban Forestry Solutions. "I didn't recommend it."
