Miscavige Megalomania, In Three Languages

Megalomania is a psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional  fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence. ‘Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers and beliefs’.  

– Wikipedia

For those revolted by the last post here, David Miscavige: The Narcissist, you may want to secure your coffee before proceeding or skip this post entirely.

As noted in David Miscavige: The Narcissist  Miscavige writes and/or approves every single word loaded into the teleprompter before each and every corporate Scientology event. That means every word uttered by anyone at any event.

At the 2011 Annual International Association of Scientologists (IAS) event Miscavige’s self love statistics were straight up and vertical, shattering all previous demonstrations of megalomania performed to date. As you can see in the following video, David Miscavige managed the heretofore unimaginable feat of  kissing his own butt publicly in three languages.

  1. Let’s do the math here……2,000 compliments to POB at a single event equals………. Marty and company are closing in fast and I need all you walking credit cards out there to be two-fisting that koolaid something fierce!!! You C&^%^k Suckers!!!

  2. Wow, pass the barf bag. A blast from the past…..

    Ted

  3. So what is he going to do next time? Where do you go from there? Allow the folks in the audience to lick his boots if they give him a $10,000 donation? I wonder how much he would charge to let folks k— er, nevermind.

    Pete

  4. This is so sick. None of these speeches thank LRH!!! WTF??? Scientology wouldn’t exist without LRH. But I guess the IAS (read as extortionists/mafia) wouldn’t exist without POB and I guess that’s what this event is all about – kissing Apple Box’s butt. Just look at how the corn-on-the-cob NEEDS the attention and the applause. Narcissistic megalomaniac is right!

    Funnily enough the last time I saw Mike Rinder on the stage was for the IAS seminars in Oct 2005. Every time he finished a sentence the great hall would resonate with a round of clapping from the audience. Mike addressed the audience regarding this and said something to the effect of “we have a lot to cover in the seminars and as Scientologists we seem to clap at everything maybe even over-acknowledging and perhaps we ought to just hold back a bit and get on with the seminar “. This was met with a hearty round of applause from the audience. This irony wasn’t lost on me. I remember giggling to myself about it. But I noted that Mike didn’t need the acceptance from the audience. He was actually trying to impart some tech to help them. Just an interesting comparison.

  5. Oh yuk — I thought the old guy was going to break into tears when thanking dm.

    Where was this event?

    WH

  6. So the little guy wouldn’t let them thank LRH but I suppose that is appropriate. LRH tech didn’t have anything to do with the stat crashes, the lies, the fraud, and of course the IAS.

    Wheww. He just soaks up the false admiration doesn’t he.

    David

  7. Just goes to show that all the money in the world can’t buy a lick of class.
    ps. DM’s color is off. He looks sick. Of course knowing where he is on the tone scale he couldn’t be anything but in poor health. Probably has to take daily enemas. Sorry for the visual on that but it’s true. Couldn’t help myself.

  8. Davey Davey Davey, you missed the ground way before, if you are reading this and I know you do you are a freak control dude, yes I am calling you “dude”, and freak is not just a termn, is your word if you do all those stuff, I dont know the veracity about you are the one allowing or authorizing the teleprompter but if you do, “you are trash”. you can quote me on my next sp declare ( the second one lol) as I told COB “if he does that he is pure trash”. Ok now lets see some really important issues like a person in real life or something cya!

  9. hahahahaha, what a little prick!

  10. Okay, one ingredient we now know is in the Corporate Scn Kool-aid is something that knocks out the gag reflex…

  11. Expelled4Life

    It is rather disappointing to see such overt disregard and disrespect of Ron. Nicely done DM. You are truly a world class putz.

  12. I’ll tell ya who the KoolAid drinker is here…it’s that little banty rooster SOB sittin atop the applebox.
    He’s so full of it his back teeth are floatin!!
    He’s drunker than a sailor on it!! And he needs to be. That way he can forget about all the extras they had to bring in.
    I mean, how comical can you get?

    (Dear God,
    Please protect me from your followers.
    Amen)

  13. The big IAS event of October in the UK under a big circus tent behind the Castle at St Hill.

  14. “This is so sick. None of these speeches thank LRH!!! WTF??? Scientology wouldn’t exist without LRH. But I guess the IAS (read as extortionists/mafia) wouldn’t exist without POB and I guess that’s what this event is all about…”

    Tis is exactly what is occuring. Good on you for calling a spade a spade.

  15. Good points, but LRH has nothing to do with the IAS money machine medals or statuses anyway!

  16. Yeah Ted, got to restock on those bags after the last 3 videos…

  17. Tom Gallagher

    I’ll have to keep this brief because I’m going into a total Puke-fest.

    The little one, POB, is as defined: Megalomaniac. Emphasis on the maniac.

    Question: How many of the clapping audience circus seals were paid actors this year?

  18. I believe that David Miscavige should find God and beg for forgiveness.

  19. The thing that got me was, correct me if I am wrong, but the first speech was in Hispanic so DM translated {I guess because everybody knows he speaks Spanish}. And then the next speech was in Russian {and of course DM translated because I guess everybody knows he also speaks Russian too!} But the next speech was in English. What? In English? Do you mean to say that DM didn’t translate this to the public after the other two translations? Oh, I know why. Because with the kind of moron education he has, he probably wouldn’t know how. After all, it was in English for goodness sakes! 🙂

  20. He looks older than his 50 years — it shows in his neck —

  21. After having painfully watched the previous video, and now seeing the still on this one before pressing “play”…I can’t even bring myself to press the play button. This is too nauseating.

  22. There aren’t enough active scientologists in all of Europe, let alone the UK to fill that tent. And no more than 50-75 patrons would fly in from the US – so Cowboy Poet is RIGHT — those are extras!!

    Notice the shots of the audience are from the backs of their heads OR the side —

    WH

  23. “I’d like to thank my wife and family for their support” … my wife who as endured all manner of unreasonable and vicious regging that the IAS bestowed upon her at all hours and is STILL with me.
    My children who never had the sense to leave. My children who have received a second rate education, who haven’t seen much of me and will never get a leg up to start their life with. You who will, upon my departure to do more upper levels–the ones in which your body cannot bear the strain, be left to sort through what’s left of my estate to pay all the creditors.
    I truly appreciate that you, my children, are STILL with me.”

    Marriage is a beautiful thing, aint it?

  24. Tony DePhillips

    And to you Mr. missavage…you are truly disgusting pond scum. Your self love is revolting to behold….I am glad that you are digging your own grave.
    Thank you. (applause!!)

  25. Scott Campbell

    Hey CP,

    You just insulted banty roosters everywhere.

  26. I’m sorry if I missed it before, but somebody tell me if DM had a hair transplant or wears some special toupee please?

    I can’t bring myself to watch the video just yet…

  27. Bert Schippers

    Puke puke puke!

  28. None of these speeches thank LRH!!! WTF???
    They did thank LRH. In this excerpts the emphasis is on the megalomania of PoB.
    PoB uses all the admiration addressed to LRH and so he does with all the admiratin addressed to the medal winners.
    From P.A.B #13

    The “merchant of fear” closes terminals rapidly with any area which contains a great deal of admiration.

    Here another one from the same P.A.B.

    Very often you will find aberrative personalities addicted to religion, but the addiction will not be accompanied by any belief in the human spirit. Just how this paradox is accomplished a professed avowal of Christianity and a complete unwillingness to accept any effort to heal or help the human spirit as opposed to the body—is just another one of this bundle of paradoxes which mark the aberrative personality.

    (So, why is there allmost no bridge progress on church lines?)

    Here another one from the same P.A.B.

    While it is not my purpose here to revile, I wish to impress upon the auditor that the “merchant of fear” is extremely dangerous, both to creative impulses and to sanity.

    And now see the video again and take a look at the russian girl in the very moment when PoB says “and COB RTC”. Just look at the body language.

    Here another one (same P.A.B.)

    They are neither strong nor wise, and before an even indifferently forceful attack quickly capitulate. They live their whole lives in terror of attack.

    Is PoB running away from the last medal winner? At least he can’t confront the man.

    Why IAS?
    Well, P.A.B.#13 has the answer.

    They are neither strong nor wise, and before an even indifferently forceful attack quickly capitulate. They live their whole lives in terror of attack.

    PoB: Do you still wonder why this blog is that successful?
    Now the answer is in the same P.A.B.

    I am not telling you this to advocate the immediate slaughter of the “merchants of fear”;
    I am merely giving you an historical note. The extreme impatience of people trying to get something done in a society will eventually center upon those who will not work and, in the case of kings or tyrants, such people have very often been done away with. Thus the precedent is very old of a society cleansing itself by removing from its ranks the non-workers.

    Revolutions very often have this as an objective. The French Revolution
    recognized in the existing aristocracy a state of will-not-work, and saw in these people the character of the “merchant of fear,” and for several years there in France, shortly after America became free, the tumbrils formed an assembly line to the guillotine.

  29. LRH Who?

  30. Micavige has for some 28 years had enormous delusions of grandeur.
    The adoring audience that jump to their feet have been solicited to attend
    by 23 phone calls the week before and hand delivery of “tickets”to those who live locally.
    Because they are strictly forbidden to read the Internet, those that obey ~~ have not read one word about Miscavige and are also deluded.

    They do not have a clue that they are giving a standing ovation to ~~
    A Batterer ! A Sadist ! A violent thug ! A greedy spiritual vampire !

  31. Please, people who take daily enemas look far healthier than that!

  32. OK, there is one more quote From LRH I’d like to share.
    It’s from P.A.B. #14 (fourteen)

    As you will find in The Factors, and as the actual application of processing will rapidly prove, the basic impulse is to produce an effect.

    In relatively high-toned beings, the very upper range of Man and above, the
    impulse is to produce something out of nothing: one can only cause a creative effect by causing nothingnesses to become something.

    Lower on the tone scale, the effect most desired is to make nothing out of
    something. The general range of Man occupies this area of the scale.

    Always loved that one…

  33. Pretty clever that Applebox guy…..he didn’t dare get near the last guy as he was a full foot taller and would have made mini-applebox look very very short….carefully planned so as to not look small……what a joke…anyone who would script their own praise into an event as he obviously did(again and again and again) has a serious condition of “I’m a worthless no good piece of shit failure”…….
    I do wish there could be a Karin Pouw disclaimer, denying that Mr Miscavage had anything to do with the oganization of the event or what was to be said , that he didn’t even attend the event nor did he have anything to do with the award winners.

  34. DM is the best enema; ever!

  35. Dammit guys, I was drinking tea at the time ( I took the coffee thing literally). I choked after the third “thank you COB”, had a knee jerk from the choking and accidently kicked the cat, who jumped up on the sink and knocked the flour into the sink causing it to plug up and overflow onto the floor causing the baseboard to swell and pop off of the wall and knock the frying pan which spilled the bacon grease in to the fire. When the Fire Dept got here and asked me what happened, I showed them the video. The fireman said “who the fuck is that short little twerp”. I laughed so hard I popped a rib and now I’m laid up for a week.

    So please, work out a grade or rating system for these videos (PG or R or MA) this was an MA Puke because of the gag factor.

  36. Thanks Mareka,

    I didnt realize anyone even paid attention! 🙂

  37. Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the blog…..here is Mr. Self Love again! I thought my confront of evil was pretty good, but this is revolting.

  38. Tony DePhillips

    LOL!!

  39. Actually I don’t think DM has omitted the standard “and thanks to LRH” at the end. These videos just clip before that part because they’re intended to show DM’s self-glorification, not the whole event.

    I don’t think he could get away with that. Yet.

  40. Tony DePhillips

    He’s his own worse enema.

  41. Indie-saurus-rex

    I don’t like to put attention on negative things (dislike validating them) but these videos are truly gag-worthy. All I can do is cringe, especially at the last part where they guy thanks COB in English. Ugh.

    It’s interesting to see though because it really does seem to be an indicator that Miscavige is feeling the heat. I’ve attended at least 50% of the events over the past half decade and rarely has COB ever been thanked in such a a fashion (usually only in the manner of “thank you for keeping the tech pure and for GAT”) but never the way the English guy almost cries… as if Miscavige himself came up with Dianetics and Scientology.

    LRH and his red-haired feistiness would have responded to this by laying COB flat on his ass from a punch to the face.

  42. Watching the video to the end I wondered where was the LRH photo? So I watched it again and found LRH’s photo literally squeezed into the decor.
    Wouldn’t surprise me if they DID forget it looking at all else they’re forgetting about what the Old Man said should be done.
    Greta

  43. Unabashed self-adulation. Gag me with a spoon!

  44. I played both these short videos aloud. Tom heard them from the other room and when they were done, shouted: “Linda, are you okay?”

  45. For all you do, this scotch is for you!

    We are looking at an alternate universe. It is uncanny. There was never a day in my involvement where I would have gushed like that last guy to anybody.

    To anyone who really believes his “eternity” is in the hands of this bozo, remember this: you can’t kill a thetan. You have no choice but to survive. Whether or not you end up a living cinder has nothing at all to do with POB, and everything to do with you. POB cannot revoke your thetan. So please stop acting like he can!

    More importantly, sit up and look around at where you are.

  46. Same BS self-engrandizement as LRH. I know, LRH is God here, but who claimed to have a Phd that turned out to be fake? Who else claimed to be a military hero but was, in fact, a disgraced military reject? Nuclear physiscist….um, no.

    Yes, DM is a narcisistic, megalomaniac. But he’s just a cruder, less worldly version of the original. Come on people…think for yourselves!!

  47. Ouch! True, so true.

  48. He sold his soul to the other guy.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammon

  49. The Russian woman was almost a head taller than pob, note where the mike hit her and then him. Also note his “TR’s” while she spoke, he grimaces trying to keep a smile on his face and constant blinking. I don’t think he’d pass a TR’s video…oh yeah, he’s the authority and can pass himself, since no one else is able to.

  50. Karen,

    “Because they are strictly forbidden to read the Internet, those that obey ~~ have not read one word about Miscavige and are also deluded.”

    During a search about “propaganda” I stumbled over some strange parallels:
    “As Minister of Enlightenment, Goebbels had two main tasks:
    – to ensure nobody in Germany could read or see anything that was hostile or damaging to the Nazi Party.
    – to ensure that the views of the Nazis were put across in the most persuasive manner possible.
    To ensure success, Goebbels had to work with the SS and Gestapo and Albert Speer. The former hunted out those who might produce articles
    defamatory to the Nazis and Hitler while Speer helped Goebbels with public displays of propaganda.”…
    http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/propaganda_in_nazi_germany.htm

    “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.” Goebbels
    http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/joseph_goebbels.htm

    Karola

  51. Last guy:

    “I’d like to thank RTC for keeping the tech pure. Without their implants and sec checking completely caving me in, there is no way possible I could be on this stage without the this fake fucking smile on my face knowing deep in my soul everything I say is complete and total bullshit. Thank you so very much. Now, lets go clear this galaxy!! To infinity and beyond!”

  52. That’s going on with him @ 1:05?

  53. Your humble servant

    I felt the same way, I just didn’t want to watch a demented psychopath degrade himself (still further) and others (still more).

  54. top of the vale

    Ayal Lindeman thanking POB for keeping the tech pure? Gag a fuckin maggot, he hasn’t got the faintest idea what he’s talking about! He needs to get a reality check on the crap he’s slingin’.
    And what’s worse he can’t even see it. He needs to EMT his own butt!!

  55. Where’s my bucket….quick…..something is going to vomit all over you.

  56. The following text is a PARODY and in NO way is an actual representation of any actual/factual letter ever written by KAREN POUW.
    *Please DO NOT send any delusional camera helmeted “squirrel busters” to my house because I choose to portray the truth, as I see it. Thank You……

    Karin Pouw Disclaimer Letter;
    “The Church of Scientology categorically denies that the images, as seen in these obviously (and rather well done mock-ups made by disgruntled apostates, I might add) are forgeries made by obviously disgruntled apostates led by the maniacal Marty Rathbun – and his merry band of disgruntled apostates. I re-iterate, should you see any truth to the validity of these videos, and should you wish to disseminate them for personal or public perusal, then the Church of Scientology, and it’s Lawyers, will be compelled to pursue legal action against you and yours.”

    Sincerely,
    Current spewer of Lies,

    Karen Pouw.

  57. Very nice demonstration of a Theta Trap. I once had been in that special kind of trap myself. Completely overestimating my powers and importance. This one has two sides. But all in a single trap.

  58. I couldn’t watch this to the end – just made me too squeemish and nauseated.

  59. I decided to mock up being on the ‘other side’ to see if I could determine what the koolaide drinking response to all of this would be. It’s really hard but I’ll give it a shot:
    “Just look at those jealous apostates! Deep down they wish they could bask in a sea of admiration like our esteemed and splendiferous leader. One day they will wake up and realise they need to come back and help to us to lick his boots clean. Because without him, there would be no Scientology.”
    Ok… made myself barf now!

  60. Oh he’s just some guy who tried to take the credit for creating Scientology away from David Miscavige. Haven’t seen him around much. Maybe he’s been declared?

  61. “he didn’t dare get near the last guy as he was a full foot taller …

    Yes, I got this impression, too.

    Also noted – it doesn’t seem he’s wearing a wedding ring.

    Leonore

  62. Enough Already

    LRH? Isn’t he the guy who had some good ideas in the early days, but couldn’t quite figure out how to train auditors?

    Or how to make money without delivering something in exchange?

    Or how to fix all those messed-up books he wrote?

    Or how to ensure new public never have to actually speak to a live person?

    Or how to study without dictionaries?

    Or how to describe to students what an F/N really looks like?

    Or how to count the number of feet of book lamination as the primary stat of Scientology?

    Or how to REALLY handle successful Mission holders by killing them all off?

    Or how to ensure a pc isn’t PTS by having him disconnect from everybody he’s ever known?

    Or how to turn the best-selling novel “Battlefield Earth” into a blockbuster film that the viewing audiences everywhere would flock to in droves?

    Or how to get our top Scientology celebrity to dazzle and win over Oprah, Matt Lauer, Brook Shields, Sumner Redstone, and so many more?

    Gracias and Merci, Mr. Miscavige Sir, for picking up the slack and showing LRH– and all of us– the way out.

  63. markthehungarian

    I love all the seals faithfully clapping. Also, now I know why there is no .torrent file for this. You’re going to give us each tasty morsel, piece by piece. H ahahha. Awesome.

    Miscavige is a douchebag. No, that’s being too kind. He is exactly what you say, a narcissist and a psychopath. That he doesn’t see how bad this sort of thing is reveals

    a) he knows he can say whatever and the audience will applaud anyway

    b) he knows he’s untouchable, so

    c) why shouldn’t these events become a collection of compliments paid to Miscavige.

    Does it look as pathetic from the inside as it does from out here? And if so, why doesn’t someone – anyone – stand up and interject “Miscavige, you’re lying!!!! This is ALL lies!!” Or would that trigger the clapping seals to club the dissenter to death?

    It baffles me.

  64. Mareka,

    Thanks for pointing this out. I was so baffled, I didn’t notice. Unbelievable!!

  65. Why does he talk of out of only one side of his mouth? I’ve only ever seen that with people who have had strokes…

  66. Izhar Perlman - Lisbon

    It is funny that many of those megalomaniacs (DM, Hitler, Napoleon, Mussolini, etc.) are so stupid that they chose a small body to remind us of their REAL SIZE.

  67. Thank God I don’t drink coffee…

    You can really sense he’s introvert thinking “how do I look, is my posture straight enough, ah now it’s time to put up a huge smile, the massage yesterday was really good, my shoulder is still a bit tense, wonder if they notice my tan, hmm can’t be too close to these people, please don’t hug me, that’s uncomfortable, maybe my face powder will show on their dresses, I’m a handsome guy…wonder if the VIPs in front find me attractive? TC looks VGIs from here, I’m doing great!”

    Shame, shame, shame

  68. Sweet. Bang on target.

  69. Former Flag Customer

    KA,
    Very informative post. Well expressed.

  70. ‘Or would that trigger the clapping seals to club the dissenter to death?’
    That would require self-determined action – not something the clapping seals are capable of.
    Most likely they would stand and gawp, whispering about how scandalous the whole affair is and while awaiting further orders from dear leader (at which point I suppose it’s quite possible they could club the dissenter to death).

  71. Fascinating 🙂

  72. +1 Thanks Mareka.

  73. Former Flag Customer

    Having been a megalomaniac myself for over 40 years, I can empathize
    with Mr. Miscavige and his psychological condition.
    He does not look physically vibrant and this probably reflects the inner struggle which he is experiencing.
    He has a wall of affluence around himself, and is more protected than the
    average person. At this point, I think the only event that could really hit him would be rejection by Tom Cruise.

  74. In raising teenagers I’ve run into this type of personality and had to teach my girls how to deal with them.
    Whenever I have run into the situation of a personality who invalidates the girls in an attempt to impose idea of false superiority (to control others) I advise them of the following:
    ‘A person who practices narcism on this level has extreme low self-worth. He is a person who cannot admire himself so must bring others down to a level where they will find something to admire in him. Finding no admiration within he has to look for it without. Don’t buy into his lies.’
    Credit to LRH (not Miscavige) – this data is based on his teachings and it has always worked for us.
    Miscavige… what brings you power (LRH’s tech) will ultimately destroy you. How very fitting.

  75. TroubleShooter

    lol

    cob has relegated LRH to “historical” “old and not used anymore”

  76. Scientologists did not notice that management executives disappeared. Now they probably does not notice that there were no saying thanks to LRH?
    Anyway, listening this I cried out in tears of joy:)

  77. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF x3.

  78. Funny how that’s the main thing she remembers from the entire event.

  79. martyrathbun09

    You state several facts that are just no true. Extremism is an uncomfortable attitude to maintain – requiring lots of effort. Relax.

  80. You’re right Gabriel, every acceptance speech ends with a Thank You to LRH (just not shown on the excerpts above) and so does every speech. But if one were to add up the numbers of applause intended for King David versus those intended for LRH, King David is leading the way. I don’t think he will ever take LRH out of the picture, but even now there is no wonder who is the main figure of attention.

  81. I totally agree with you. I am like “where is ‘LRH’?” after watching this clip. Well, I think the logic is “HASI was created by LRH; IAS was created by DM”. So there you go. Maybe soon we will see only IAS events throughout the year(it has been already, just not properly named) — “IAS New Year’s Event, IAS B’day Game Event, IAS Reverse Dianetics Event, IAS MV events(4 day in a row), IAS OT Summit (exclusive aboard FWs), IAS Reverse Auditor’s Event, IAS’ IAS Event(weekly from Oct to Dec). Plus various IAS seminars, IAS conventions, etc., whatever you name it.

  82. Back in those times, radio was the equivalent of the internet. The German government mass produced one model that was popularly called “Goebbel’s Gob”. It had a volume control but no tuning knob, since it was designed to be set to a single station.

  83. Ultimately, POB stages these events to celebrate himself.

  84. scilonschools

    even the bewst of us can have our reality twisted,DM convincewd Mary Sue LRH was bad news and didnt care about her, really really SICK!

  85. Actually now I can’t find what I was thinking of now that I google it. The Goebbel’s gob was a low cost receiver, not sensitive enough to pick up anything but local broadcasts. Maybe the other receiver was a concept that was not produced in large quantities. I’ll keep looking.

    That said, I never got into Scientology to have my communication controlled, either inflow or outflow.

  86. Too bad I’ve been ill and drinking the last couple of months and lost a lot of weight, even my wonderful rods can’t handle that. And darn, everybody is bigger than me, even the delicate Russian girl. Hope nobody notices my stuffed clothes, my whisky breath, high heels, gaunt tone, forced smile and hidden hate. I hope nobody will come near me as they will find out and start talking, can’t have that. I’ll instantly declare anyone who dares to come closer to me than 5 feet. Fortunately, the sound system compensates my speech impediment, I hope.

  87. It wasn’t an event it was a seminar. And I don’t think it is that funny. People tend to remember things that are out of the ordinary. What Rinder said was definitely out of the ordinary and almost verging on heresy – at least according to the POB religion.

    Whereas Apple Boy will stop mid speech to accept an applause (he does this at least once an event) Mike was telling us to stop clapping. No, not funny that I remember that at all. What is “funny” is that you tried to call me on it. So what’s your agenda?

  88. Simon Bolivar

    Just immagining that I bursted out laughing 🙂

  89. This one needs a chaser….

  90. These kinds of events bored me. Everyone thanking the same people or organizations, and of course David Miscavige. No surprises, no humanity, the stats clearly fabricated. No real wins shared. Compare this to Steve Jobs’ appearances at Mac Expo in front of a truly interested audience. David, you can’t script this stuff no matter how hard you scream and stomp your feet. It just comes off as fake. And now we know what it takes to pull off these events – how staff are treated – just to give you a boost in your sense of self worth, it is difficult to watch with out sadness and a tinge of nausea.

  91. He’s going to take the money and run, seems pretty obvious.

  92. Mareka,

    I think there is a misunderstanding. I know Pat well. She is a good and trusted friend. I dont think she means it was literally funny as in “ha ha” but funny as in “memeorable” or “remarkable”. I guess it was almost heresy at the time — the beauty of those seminars back then was that they were NOT teleprompter, they were too early in the day for POB to get up to attend, so he didnt really care much what was said. So, we had a little more leeway to say what we wanted.

    I appreciate your supportive comment, but just want you to know that Pat is good people and I dont think you should eead her comment as a critical thing, but ratrher as supportive.

    I think it’s gross how he appears to be “modest” when he himself has set the whole contrived thing up to be liked and admired to pump up his ginormous head. He doesn’t need a bigger head, hell…that head of his is about 1/3rd the size of his body already.

  94. Dang!!! I thought I was gonna have some fun with a bot bot!! Okay, fair enough. It was a literal comment not a sarcastic one. I see that now. Pat is a goody. Duly noted and thanks for clearing that up 🙂

  95. HereNow: Precisely. The ONLY reason these events continue to occur is because POB knows that if he didnt have them a lot MORE people would fall off his circus train. If you talk to a KoolAid guzzler they will tell you about the maqssive expansion that is occuring. This justifies EVERYTHING — any exposure of the sordid truth is dismissed as “carping criticism” and “squirrels squealing” (a favorite issue to pound mix with the KoolAid is “Signs of Success” — but you gotta have “success” for that to work). ANd when the “expansion” is occuring it also puts into play “greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics”.

    So, it is VITAL that the sheeple are convinced there IS expansion happening.

    There is only ONE way they get that information — from these events. If they go into their local org or mission they certainly don’t see it. If they read the media or internet they certainly don’t see it. It is ONLY these events. Its why he spends so much money and there is so much smoke and mirror bullshit. Drop the events and the curtain comes down on the Wizard of Odd.

    Scientologists understanding the REALITY of the scene would not hurt them — it would perhaps wake them up and get them forwarding what is good and abandoning what is not. The only person that would be harmed by the truth is POB.

  96. I would add that we would warmly embrace any person honestly awakened and wishing our help. Rachel

    I don’t think it is the Pat you might think it is.

  98. Oh come on Tony, POB has every right to be modest — he only scripts these events to give the little people the greatest thrill of their lives by giving them the chance to say the exactly right thing about him — directly to him. It is almost an act of charity, coming from a truly humble heart (oh, oh, I am making myself gag….)

  99. Li'll bit of stuff

    SKM—Yeah, the income forms part of his STASH!

  100. Mike: all so very true. Given the enormous amount of man hours and expense that goes into (or rather is consumed) staging this events, from Int down to ILO to Conts to Orgs, it is no surprise that orgs, missions, groups, tech, admin are all falling apart. Large numbers of staff are not even on their posts for significant amounts of time every year. This is as if POB read the LRH reference to NOT have international events because it pulls staff off post, and then figured out how to violate this reference to the Nth Degree.

  101. Now if any statement carries an absolute, it is that one!

  102. This literally makes my stomach wrench. The entire event (every word) is carefully orchestrated to stroke his own ego. Appears the regularly scheduled events are so pob can get a routine fix of this stuff and keep himself pumped up enough to continue forward on his road of destruction. He’s an egotistical/meglomaniac junkie.

  103. Li'll bit of stuff

    Factoids,factoids factoids.
    Here’s a factoid, Dan:LRH developed Auditing Technology
    based on demonstrably workable ” AXIOMS ” which were,
    themselves,culled and formulated, by an unprecedented
    curiosity (by LRH) to discover and reduce to understanding, the natural and causative “laws” which underlie ALL mental/ spiritual Behaviour and includes all life forms.(YOU TOO!)

    Marty, some will just NEVER DUPLICATE!!

  104. Li'll bit of stuff

    Sam, thank you for this TRUTH! My own two daughters were
    similarly prepared and have had their own realizations !

    Luv the CAUSE—EFFECT ending! Luv, Li’ll bit

  105. He’s such a poor boy.

    Interesting how the linked wikipedia article fits to him.
    And this quote from the scriptures…

    Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
    No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
    You can not serve both God and Mammon.
    —Matthew 6:19-21,24

    goes along so well with the scale of motivation so nice.

    Go boy, take all the mest with you and just disapear! I’m sure you will.

  106. After reading all the comments, I hoped that actually watching the video would be less painful…no luck.
    That applause does not come from that robotic audience – no way.
    Actually, it’s the perfect video – showing praise for the leader of the Church of David Miscavige. He deserves it. All praise the Church of David Miscavige! (Tito, get me a tissue.)

  107. one of those who see

    That was the hardest part of the video for me to listen to!

  108. Mike,

    Here’s a real-life example of what you stated above re: the Kool Aid drinkers:

    My husband and I attended a real estate seminar earlier this year with two OT VIIs. We were still under the radar at that point. During lunch, the subject of Scientology dissemination came up, and I said that Scn has a real PR situation currently. This comment resulted in shock on their part, since they never read the internet or anything else that might compromise their stable data about current “expansion”. So I told them about the Scientology ad that was played for a focus group and the resulting stats of “less than zero” for believability as soon as the word “Scientology” was mentioned. One of them insisted that the focus group was probably paid for by anti-Scn hate groups and wanted to know how I came across such clearly libelous information. The other illustrious OT VII stated that “Anyone who goes to the events knows how much expansion is taking place internationally, and anyway, if there’s any kind of situation with PR or anything else, Management will fix it!”

    So there you have it. Kool-Aid guzzling for OTs.

  109. Painful to watch. My heart goes out to the zombies who are subjected to these implants six times every year.

    Loved this sentence: “David Miscavige managed the heretofore unimaginable feat of kissing his own butt publicly in three languages.” Very well put!

  110. Tony DePhillips

    🙂

  111. DM is clearly STARVED for approval and praise. It doesn’t seem to effect the audience at all that he is out of harmony with the code of honor. It could be they are all in the same situation.

  112. Your humble servant

    Dan you display an arrogance and an ignorance that is dismaying.

  113. Scott Campbell

    Excellent comment Karola. You hit that nail on the head with that one.

    What Miscavige has done with Scientology is turn it into a belief system as opposed to a body of knowledge based on empirical evidence.

    For Kool-Aid drinkers, the test is no longer whether Scientology works or not, the test is now whether David Miscavige says it’s true or not.

  114. Gosh, I missed all this until a friend called me up and mentioned it. I didn’t have a clue that my comment had stirred up some dust. Mike is right in that I meant a different definition of the word “funny” as opposed to ha-ha.

    Mareka, we haven’t met so don’t know each other. Perhaps some day we will. In the meantime just know that I make a comment or two on any given blog post but overall am quietly in the background watching what’s going on, taking in a lot of data from different sources. I help where I can behind the scenes, never advertised or promoted in any way. That’s probably why you thought I was someone else; I’m pretty quiet. Hey, maybe my Non-E is a bit out but that’s okay. Now to me that’s a funny, as in ha-ha, thought.

  115. Question With Boldness

    I think most people go to events for two reasons;

    1. They are browbeat into going by the 10 phone calls per day to confirm them.
    2. They want to socialize with their friends after the event.

    Unfortunately, they get more brain washed everytime they attend one. Just my 2 cents.

  116. That was really funny. I couldn’t help but to laugh out loud. 😉

    THE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY
    THE ANTI-SCIENTOLOGIST

    (Also issued as HCOPL
    27 Sept. 66k, same title)

    […]

    ATTRIBUTES

    The antisocial personality has the following attributes:

    1. He or she speaks only in very broad generalities. “They say…” “Everybody thinks…” “Everyone knows…” and such expressions are in continual use, particularly when imparting rumor. When asked, “Who is everybody…” it normally turns out to be one source and from this source the antisocial person has manufactured what he or she pretends is the whole opinion of the whole society.

    This is natural to them since to them all society is a large hostile generality, against the antisocial in particular.

    2. Such a person deals mainly in bad news, critical or hostile remarks, invalidation and general suppression.

    “Gossip” or “bearer of evil tidings” or “rumormonger” once described such persons.

    It is notable that there is no good news or complimentary remark passed on by such a person.

    3. The antisocial personality alters, to worsen, communication when he or she relays a message or news. Good news is stopped and only bad news, often embellished, is passed along.

    Such a person also pretends to pass on “bad news” which is in actual fact invented.

    4. A characteristic, and one of the sad things about an antisocial personality, is that it does not respond to treatment or reform.

    5. Surrounding such a personality we find cowed or ill associates or friends who, when not driven actually insane, are yet behaving in a crippled manner in life, failing, not succeeding.

    Such people make trouble for others.

    When treated or educated, the near associate of the antisocial personality has no stability of gain but promptly relapses or loses his advantages of knowledge, being under the suppressive influence of the other.

    Physically treated, such associates commonly do not recover in the expected time but worsen and have poor convalescences.

    It is quite useless to treat or help or train such persons so long as they remain under the influence of the antisocial connection.

    The largest number of insane are insane because of such antisocial connections and do not recover easily for the same reason.

    Unjustly we seldom see the antisocial personality actually in an institution. Only his “friends” and family are there.

    6. The antisocial personality habitually selects the wrong target.

    If a tire is flat from driving over nails, he or she curses a companion or a noncausative source of the trouble. If the radio next door is too loud, he or she kicks the cat.

    If A is the obvious cause, the antisocial personality inevitably blames B or C or D.

    7. The antisocial cannot finish a cycle of action. Any action goes through a sequence wherein the action is begun, is continued for as long as is required and is completed as planned. In Scientology, this is called a cycle of action.

    The antisocial becomes surrounded with incomplete projects.

    8. Many antisocial persons will freely confess to the most alarming crimes when forced to do so, but will have no faintest sense of responsibility for them.

    Their actions have little or nothing to do with their own volition. Things “just happened.”

    They have no sense of correct causation and particularly cannot feel any sense of remorse or shame therefore.

    9. The antisocial personality supports only destructive groups and rages against and attacks any constructive or betterment group.

    10. This type of personality approves only of destructive actions and fights against constructive or helpful actions or activities.

    The artist in particular is often found as a magnet for persons with antisocial personalities who see in his art something which must be destroyed and covertly, “as a friend,” proceed to try.

    11. Helping others is an activity which drives the antisocial personality nearly berserk. Activities, however, which destroy in the name of help are closely supported.

    12. The antisocial personality has a bad sense of property and conceives that the idea that anyone owns anything is a pretense, made up to fool people. Nothing is ever really owned.
