Daniel Montalvo – the latest

Daniel expresses his gratitude

Since escaping unscathed at the Sunset Blvd cafe, see https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/montalvo-update-the-wild-wild-west/, Daniel has been enjoying his stay with a family that has accepted him and treated him as their own.  Realize that Daniel lived in the Sea Org from the age of four until the age of nineteen, never really experiencing what family is all about. In this time of crises, he is rapidly learning the true value and meaning of family.

Daniel was quite touched by your outpouring of concern, care, and genorsity.  He asked me to try to convey that to you all.  But, I don’t know whether words can really do the trick.  He is in awe of what you did.

Daniel is now represented by one of Los Angeles’ more accomplished lawyers, John Duran.   You can read about Mr. Duran here to get the idea, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Duran.    I believe, and more importantly Daniel believes, Mr. Duran has Daniel’s best interests at heart and  has the skill and wisdom necessary to help remove the dark clouds of two legal attacks (the larceny and the domestic matter) mounted by the Corporate church.

The fact that you all doubled the targeted retainer amount made this quality of representation possible. Thank you very much.

It is my view that it is best that  we let Daniel’s counsel go about disposing of these unconsionable attacks with as little noise and distraction as possible.  We will know soon enough if the fix is on. If it proves to be, I’ll be the first one on the ramparts hollering for volunteers.  

Thanks again to everybody.  The level of competence, speed and support demonstrated for this rescue and defense operation against the  Corporate Scientology empire is absolutely unprecedented.  Don’t ever forget the role you played, and are continuing to play, in it.

Warning: May be shocking for some, but it is one major reason we are here

How is this for a shocking graphic to start a post?  It’s my creation…. well, mostly. I stole it from CCHR.  It’s here for shock value, so don’t take it too seriously, okay?  

Approximately 9 months ago (or so — I’m bad with time, so take that for what it is worth), I approached Marty about writing an entry for his blog.  My angle?   Simple — hardcore critic — the guy who did the $cientology-KILLS website and T-shirts with OT-III, supports independant Scientologists.   Not the most earth shattering headline, I must confess.

I haven’t been active protesting Scientology in over a decade.  They were downright vicious when it came to shutting me down. I received the personal attentions of Dave Lubow.  What did they dig up on me?  Bounced checks and bad credit, basically. Having gone through a divorce over the years preceeding my activism, and being young, dumb, wildly irresponsible, and willing to waste a large percentage of my income to do things like …make t-shirts to give away or sell (at a loss! despite the Church’s PR that I profited wildly), probably made me an easy target.  Lubow even called my mother!   The man is truly a turd.  Sorry.

At the time, I also confessed to being Scamizdat (blogger note: maybe Mike can explain this, but I vaguely recall Scamizdat posted some upper level material and we tried to crush a harsh DM critic Grady Ward through civil litigation as the poster), as part of the Grady Ward case.  Even after going through deposition with Helena Kobrin (who still owes me muffins) and Eric Leiberman, they declined to accept my confession and still pushed forward against Grady.  Granted, my confession wasn’t enough for them to pin specific acts on me.  But I cost them tremendous amounts of money, and greatly enjoyed the telephone updates to DM throughout the deposition.  These updates were done in a room next door to the Deposition room, and hysterically, they didn’t realize that there was basically a window between the two rooms.  The “window” allowed myself, Grady and the transcriptionist unfettered audio access to their calls.   

It was funny, but at the time I failed to realize the significance.  That they would call DM (or perhaps it was even Marty on the other end!) (blogger note: wasn’t me, was it you Mike?) in response to a depo of some little guy who just had the stupidity/courage/something to stand up and say, “I am Spartacus!”

After the major Lisa McPherson protest in Clearwater — the protest where I met Bob Minton — the protest that I recruited Lawrence Wollersheim to join us on — the protest where I first met Dave Lubow (I’m such a name dropper!), I had Co-Organized the Boulder Colorado Protest.  The Boulder protests generated enough noise that they flew in Sylvia Stanard and Joe Neal (or O’Neal?) and some gal from Portland to handle me and mine.  

Great protest…We got Wollersheim and Bob Penny to protest side-by-side while Denver DSA Deb Danos held a sign saying “Wollersheim Used Penny.”

All in all, things went well.

During the protest there was an interesting exchange that I documented afterwards in an internet post which you can find here: 

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/browse_thread/thread/6c4713c07f4c6dd8/14d28739143eaa78?hl (blogger note: contains reference to OT III data)

The whole thread is worth reading.

It went basically like this…  Joe Neal (O’Neal, I guess) confronted me during the protest and pointed to one of our fellow picketers (who had dressed up as the alien “Xenu”) and made the statement, “That is Bigotry”.     

I raised it as an issue then, and the moment never left me.   Was it bigotry?   Maybe.

Whether it was a fair point or not that Joe raised that day is really beside the point.   What followed is what makes that exchange particularly interesting.  

See, I started to ponder where the line between protest, complaint and bigotry was.   I wondered, to myself, if a scientology reformation were to occur, do I so hate the ideas that I couldn’t tolerate it?  Or do I mean what I say?   Would I tolerate a kinder, gentler scientology?

The years passed…  Lubow did his thing and shut me up.  Kobrin traded removal of my name from the churches blackPR pages for my scientology-kills.net domain. An action I still feel no small amount of shame for.  Although I should point out that the church did not uphold its side of the domain-name bargain.  I demanded poppy seed muffins, I was promised poppy-seed muffins… I never received them.  Criminals.

So, as I said, redundantly, a decade passed.  I did my own thing.  I caught glimpses of the “anonymous” uprising here and there in the news, and then Marty…   I found Marty’s page.    See, Marty was of particular interest to me in the last months of being a critic. I couldn’t believe what I was reading.  The man had left!   He was, from my limited understanding, the man behind the curtain on so many things.  I knew he was important, other critics knew he was important, but he was an enigma to me, just the same.    

Here he is… blogging.

So I have been reading.  I still find much of the “tech” repugnant to reason and science. But in the past year I have been reading Marty’s Blog and there’s this nagging question in the back of my head.   It’s really Joe Neal’s question… or maybe not, but at least owes its roots to Joe’s question…. 

It is, “Is this a brand of Scientology that I can co-exist with?”.    

It is, to me, proof that although my actions might have said “bigotry” in the past, that my mind and heart were not working from a place of bigotry at all.  In the end, I am not blind.

If Marty is Honest — and I have no reason to think otherwise — This is a Scientology that I can peacefully and happily co-exist with.  I am not arrogant enough to believe that you all NEED my validation.  But I wanted to give it anyway.

Marty?  If you back off of it one inch…  I will be here to protest you.   

I wish all of you, everyone…. the best of luck in saving your religion.  You have my support.

Madness from Coast to Coast – the Mosquitoes

Well, 36 hours after Daniel’s departure from Tiziano and Jamie’s,  six full time PIs still have the place under surveillance.     $30,000 to $50,000 spent per day, conservative estimate, in an attempt to cave in this couple.  Product?  $30,000 to $50,000 a day wasted, and their image as a radical, bullying cult more firmly etched in the public mind.

All the while, Lil’ Dave Lebow has been in Clearwater orchestrating full-time harrassment against Mike Rinder. 

Some people have expressed to me the concern that my graphic reporting of the Radical Scientology Cult PI hijinks might tend to back off people who would otherwise step forward to help in the cause.  That may be so.  But, those who consider backing off ought to know that we are beginning to expererience a major tipping point that I suggested several months ago that we might see sooner or later. That is, when enough people stand up to the bullying rather than do what Miscavige intends the targets of his harassment to do – that is, shrink and crawl quietly into darkness – the in terorrem effect will, once and for all, be lost.  Remember, Miscavige has two missiles in his arsenal. One, intimidation with seemingly unlmited chutzpah and money in order to wear one down to the attitude of “it is not worth it any more.”  Two, when “one” has had its intended effect, use seemingly unlimited funds to either a) make the legal and PR trouble he has created with this over-the-top intimidation tactics go away, or b) throw the target a bone to settle and go away quietly.   I also said from the beginning that breaking the mafia-like monopoly of terror Miscavige runs is inevitable because we are a new breed of cat.  We are immune to both missiles in his arsenal.  We just ain’t afraid, and we are not buyable at any price.

With Radical Scientology PI’s swarming like mosquitos a few helpful tips are in order.

If you get messed with by the PI’s, realize that objective number one for OSA/Miscavige is to get into your head.  Did you know that when you scratch the itch after a mosquito bites, you exacerbate the problem by spreading its deposited poison?  If you can withstand the first few impulses to scratch, the itch will go away.

So, rule one is to not let them bother you.

However, this is not so workable when you are subjected to swarms of hungry mosquitoes. In that case, it will behoove you to swat the little peckers before they insert their blood suckers into your skin.  The key to this second rule, is don’t get frazzled. Do it sytematically, and calmly and you are liable to prevent much penetration. If it persists, you might want to fog or spray your area – treat them a bit more aggressively.  But, again a calm, rational approach works best.

If the mosquitoes persist and make your home, and your person, a habitat, then you had better have your perimeter treated, perhaps by a professional.   In the case of Miscavige’s mosquitoes, law enforcement is the best mosquito guard.  Some of his better paid mosquitoes will develop a resistance to the professional mosquito guard.  But, if you continue informing your local professionals they will likely up the gradient giving you a comfortable perimeter.

Dear Leader’s favorite private investigator, David Lubow, usually slinks around in the shadows pretending to be an International Man of Mystery. Most often he is found hiding on the other end of a phone spreading Black PR.  On that score, he has always served as an accurate reflection of Miscavige’s state of mind.  Accordingly, he has been spotted of late desparately attempting to get under targets’ skin, on the streets and sidewalks engaging in overt harassment.

Here he is two days ago surveilling Mike Rinder at a restaurant in Clearwater:

Did anyone see the resemblance to a mosquito?

Here is Lebow the very next day, across the street from Mike and Christie’s home in Tarpon Springs:

As you can see, Lebow is apparently using “swarm tech”, quite ineffectively.

Mike finally calls the local exterminator because Lebow, carrying out Miscavige’s On Human Behavior PAB tech of making himself so repulsive as to offend the sensibilities of innocents in the environment (namely Mike and Christie’s neighbors).   But, not before thoroughly reversing the flow by questioning the investigator to understand and document the nature of its harassment.

Again, don’t lose sight of this fact. Miscavige’s mission is to make all of his hosts in his image. Dave Lebow is a study in the current state of mind of David Miscavige.

Montalvo Update – The Wild, Wild West

Daniel Montalvo continued to be under effective house arrest most of the day.   A multi-agent Radical Scientology cult  private eye team has had Daniel under surveillance full time since his release.  Twice the investigators have made aggressive moves with their vehicles toward Daniel’s friend and host Tiziano Lugli.  

This evening, Tiziano and Jamie took Daniel to dinner at a cafe on Sunset Blvd.   A four car team of Radical Scientology cult investigators leered from across the street. When they finished eating,  Tiziano and Jamie approached the PI team. As the two neared the pack of gangsters, team leader Mike Kelly (same guy who lead the JB surveilance team at Tiziano’s  this summer; and surveilled Mosey’s and my arrival at LA International the week before last)  screamed like a stuck pig crying he was fearful that Jamie and Tiziano were going to “mug” he and his three hired thugs. Kelly slammed Tiziano’s arm knocking his video camera to the ground. Jamie called 911.  Twenty LA County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived on the scene aiming shotguns at all the PIs and Tiziano and Jamie.  Tiziano and the pregnant Jamie were cuffed along with the PIs until the watch commander arrived to sort out what was going on.  When they realized it was the Radical Scientology cult PI’s at work again, they gave Tiziano and Jamie a head start home detaining the PI’s in the meantime.

When the smoke finally cleared, Daniel had vanished.

Don’t worry. He is in good hands.

Tiziano and Jamie took some knocks,  but the kid rides again, at least for now, free from effective house arrest.

Minutes later another four cars full of Scientology cult PIs arrived at Tiziano’s home demanding that Daniel be produced to be served with  a restraining order.  Too late, there was no Daniel to produce.

Turns out Eliott Abelson went to court – with no notice to Daniel – representing Daniel’s wife alleging physical spousal abuse purportedly occuring several months ago.  Never reported to the police of course.   They claimed it was an emergency matter to restrain Daniel from going within 100 yards of the Hollywood Blvd management building and the Complex.  The very premises he has been attempting to forever leave behind.  The very premises the church utilized legal threats and family pleas in order to lure Daniel back to. Abelson continues to be a shameless, lying shyster.

As to spousal abuse, what else do you expect?  Isn’t that precisely what they accused me, Amy, Tom and Mike of in their Freedom mags? 

The Criminal Mind of Miscavige apparently mandates such allegations be made. He is obsessed with accusing others of his own sordid intentions and activities.

Miscavige is one sick, sick puppy. 

And an increasingly ineffective one.

Hopefully, Sheriff Baca will wake up and restore order in a county gone lawless when it comes to the Radical Scientology cult.  Hopefully, Miscavige doesn’t take him down like he did his other LA buddy, a certain one-time movie star. 

Interesting how Miscavige is so effective at bringing down apparent friends he tricks into trusting him, while being so utterly ineffective at ruining those who are wise to his tricks and are exposing him for what he is.

Free Daniel Montalvo

 

Daniel Montalvo's first taste of freedom

About two weeks ago while I was taking a brief respite in the form of  a wonderful evening at the home of Mary Jo Leavitt, I received an urgent phone call from Tom Devocht.

Tom told me that he needed help with the escape of a 19-year-old staff member of Bridge Publications.  Daniel Montalvo never knew the outside world – having been in the Sea Org most of his life.  Several months ago Daniel and the rest of Bridge Publications staff were forced to read Miscavige’s Freedom magazine attacking myself, Mike Rinder, Amy Scobee, and Tom Devocht.  Daniel knew it was garbage because of what the rag had to say about Tom.  He knew Tom (when Tom was CO CMO CW) when Daniel was a young child and remembered him fondly for being so generous to and tolerant of children, including Daniel himself.

Consequently, Daniel searched the internet and, through my blog he found a means to get hold of Mike Rinder, whom he figured correctly could (and did) get him in touch with Tom.  Daniel told Tom he could no longer take the incessant stat push on books and tapes, the orders to carry out fraudulent practices against Scientology public,and  the Int-like DM tortures now being practiced by CMO PAC messengers regularly at Bridge Publications.  He said he knew nothing about the outside world, and knew virtually no one as never had a life outside the Sea Org.  Tom told Daniel he’d house him and employ him so that he could make a new start if he wished. 

Daniel phoned that particular Friday night because there was a CMO mission running a rein of terror through Bridge for the usual down stats. All staff were being interrogated on the meter for outside connections and influences.  Daniel was certain he could not get away with withholding that he was reading my blog and had concluded that it contained nothing other than 100% gospel truth.

Tiziano Lugli being my host in LA, and being the least PTS person I think I know on planet earth, bolted into action.  The kid only had a hand held text message sender and receiver, no phone.  We coordinated his route out, lost all our tails, and picked him up at a pre-designated spot. 

We took him to a far away Deli and delighted at watching him eat a cheeseburger and fries with his eyes lit up like he was ingesting an eight course gourmet feast prepared by Sinar Parmen himself.

Daniel brought a couple hard drives with him that contained music and may have been mixed with some other Bridge traffic.  We advised Daniel to return them to Bridge which he did via messenger service. Then we got Daniel on a flight to Florida to see Tom DV.

Tom and Daniel were beseiged by waves of Daniel’s family members and OSA Flag staff using every ploy and threat possible to get Daniel to return.  Tom fought them off like a she-gator protecting her young.  After surviving days of the onslaught, Daniel became intent on speaking with his mother.  He phoned the church to arrange this, but reception put him through to Kendrick Moxon – an alleged attorney.  Moxon proceeded to lie to Daniel that the hard drives were never returned, and made a convincing case (not difficult to do with a 19 year old who doesn’t even know the three branches of government) that Daniel would be put behind iron bars for a good long time, UNLESS of course, he returned and cooperated with Moxon and routed out properly. 

Tom sagely advised Daniel that he would face only one of two fates should he return, a) be sent to jail, or b) spend ten years in the RPF.  After several sleepless nights and incessant badgering and threats from the church Daniel returned to LA to route out.

Daniel was picked up by an investigator in a black car with blacked out windows. Instead of being taken to a hotel, where he could route out as promised, he was taken to the Century City Towers.  He was deposited in an office on the 33rd floor where a pricy church lawyer interrogated him for two hours. Only then, did Moxon come in and start interrogating harder, demanding that Daniel finger Tiziano, Tom, and myself as the master minds of his having taken hard drives from Bridge.  Daniel explained that he could not say that because it is a blatant lie. Quite the contrary, Tom advised him not to take the hard drives and I advised him to return them once I learned that he had ignored Tom’s original advice. 

Moxon then said they would need to go the LA County Sheriff’s office to clear everything up. Instead of clearing it up, Moxon pulled out a huge binder with shots and dossier’s on Tom, Tiziano and myself. Moxon plied the Sheriff’s detective with a grand conspiracy theory, characterizing me as the “anti-christ” of the church of Scientology. I guess Kingpin has become passe.

The next thing Daniel knows he’s in a cell where he sat for the next 30 hours.  Had it not been for Tiziano fronting $2,000 through credit Daniel would be there now and for God knows how long. 

David Miscavige – who I promise will go to jail before this is all over – ordered  Kendrick Moxon – whose bar card I am now promising to take away – stabbed a nineteen year old slave in the back the second he got a whiff of freedom. I have never heard of such low-life treachery. And Lord knows I’ve seen my share of it under the tutelage of the master of treachery, David Miscavige.   

Tiziano, Jamie Sorrentini, Tom, Mike Rinder, Jason Beghe and I have been working in a flurry this afternoon to get Daniel out of the LA County (East LA branch) jail.

As of the minute I post this, Daniel walks free once again, at least temporarily, having been bailed out by Jamie and Tiziano.

We have arranged for a competent attorney to represent Daniel at his arraignment tomorrow.  

I have been hesitant to raise money for our cause despite the need – recognizing how former church members have been fleeced to the bone over and over.   However, my rule on that score doesn’t apply to a 19 year old kid facing the penitentiary in thanks for the following sins:

a) Leaving a lifehood of slavery to get a taste of freedom and the world.

b) Refusing – despite every provocation and incentive and threat – to frame three guys who went out of their ways (and dipped into their pockets) to help the kid achieve that freedom.

Accordingly, I am creating the Free Daniel Montalvo Fund.   We are trying to initially raise the 3,000 dollars (bail and airfares) we’ve already personally fronted) and another 5,000 for a retainer for a criminal lawyer skilled and tough enough to take on the church and the LA County Sheriff Leroy D. Baca.  Yes, the Sheriff himself.  Do you seriously think the church could get any other agency in the world to do the kind of illegal, underhanded work they’ve gotten the Sheriff’s Office to do?   They wouldn’t have a prayer without owning the Sheriff himself.  As to whether that is the case, I invite you all to peruse church promo over the past ten years.  Baca has extolled their virtues over and over – in exchange for getting to hob nob with Cruise, Travolta, Alley, etc – even while dozens upon dozens of staff have been continually held in virtual bondage by the very institution – in his jurisdiction –  he lavishes with praise.

For now, if you are interested in contributing, you can go to my paypal account – under the donate section on the front page of the blog,  https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/donate/  .  When you are prompted to write a message with any donation, just put in Free Daniel Montalvo Fund.  I’ll keep exact accounting of such designated funds.

 Without you all, this young man would have already been crushed like a bug and forgotten.  With you, he will never be forgotten.  I think this is one of those places where we are compelled by conscience to etch a very distinct and durable line.

Free Daniel Montalvo!

Friday Noon Update:
     You all officially constitute a hurricane!  Cat 3 and gaining mo’.  Last night I noted we were initially looking for 3,000 to recover bail and airplane flights already spend out of pocket and on credit, plus 5,000 for a retainer for the kind of criminal lawyer we need on this.  That is a target of 8,000.  As of noon we are just over 6,000.  That is approximately 65 donors,making average right around 100 dollars.  Lowest donation was $2 and two came in at highest at $500 each.  If this ain’t grassroots I don’t know what is.  I’m gonna be busy for the next couple hours. Then I’ll hopefully have a minute to give another update. After that, I’ll be out of the loop, except by phone for several hours.  No, you won’t find me honky-tonkin’.  Mike has graciously offered to keep moderating. Then late tonight I’ll give another update on the fund.  You guys have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Certainly beyond my wildest dreams last night when I posted.  I can hear the dictator snickering now about how thrilled I am about “chump’s change.”  Well, this kind of  “chump’s change” will win every time against blood money, no matter the amount.

Update: Friday 1:15 pm: A nice translation of this blog post by Tony Ortega at the Village Voice can be found here, http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2010/10/daniel_montalvo.php

3:15 pm Friday update: $7,652 via paypal. With pledges coming by mail, we have topped the 8,000 goal. No need to keep donating. Unless the fix is deeper than I think this case should go away with originally estimated retainer. If Baca and Miscavige and/or Miscavige’s lawyers and the D/As office are joined at the hip, then we’ll be in for a longer haul. We’ll keep you posted. Stay tuned this weekend for an Open Letter to LA County Sheriff Lee Baca. We’re learning the Sheriff’s Office has gone way outside the boundaries of their mandate in serving Moxon and Miscavige’s LA lawyers. IMHO I believe they have betrayed the taxpayers of Los Angeles county. Hitting the road. Be back on line in 5-6 hours. OSA investigators, chill. As Mosey says, I drive old Lucille like Jed Clampet. No need to put Texas drivers at risk with your magnum PI bullshit fantasies. See ya in H-Town.

Has Miscavige’s “church” Run Out of Clears to Invalidate?

 

David Miscavige’s level of desperation is apparently red lining, as evidenced by this OSA operative email received by Monique “Mosey” Rathbun yesterday.

email:

Dear Mosey,

Per the below HCOB your state of “clear”, as declared by Mar-tey,
is hereby CANCELLED!

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO BULLETIN OF 5 MARCH 1979RB
REVISED 2 DECEMBER 1985

DIANETIC CLEAR FALSE DECLARES

Any org staff declaring a Dianetic Clear “achieved in other
practices” is subject to expulsion from the Church.

Technically, a very few thetans have never been anything but Clear.
These few didn’t “go Clear” on anything; they have simply always
been Clear. When a natural Clear is found, it should be so stated.
To assign this condition to some other practice is a suppression of
Dianetics and Scientology.

Anyone evaluating for or feeding a preclear data to persuade him to
declare Dianetic Clear is also actionable.

Anyone suppressively validating squirrel practices or groups by
stating they are producing Dianetic Clears is also actionable as
above, as it is not possible. It requires the exact application of
Scientology and Dianetics technology to bring a preclear up to the
state of Clear, whether on NED after Grades or on the Clearing
Course.

Falsely declaring a person Clear who isn’t and failing to declare
one who made it on Dianetics or the Clearing Course or who has
always been Clear are also actionable.

In the event of a false attest, the C/S, Director of Validity and
any other org staff involved in the cycle are subject to a
Committee of Evidence and, if found guilty, are subject to
suspension of all certs. (Ref: HCO PL 7 Mar. 65 II, CERTIFICATE
CANCELLATION)

People don’t go Clear in garbage eating or psychiatry – they
perish. Thus, herding people into their hands by falsely validating
them is suppressive.

Any and all such false declares are cancelled.

L. RON HUBBARD
Founder

End of email.

It occurred to me that, according to this very reference, if anyone should be de-certified and declared suppressive it ought to be Miscavige; dozens, if not hundreds, of times over. First, there is the wild pendulum swings, from arbitrary declarations of Clear where not evidenced (e.g. Lisa McPherson, himself, etc), to the other end of the spectrum, the hundreds of Clears he has de-Cleared arbitrarily. In fact, it goes beyond even that. The organizations he has created are prohibited from declaring Clears or undeclaring them no matter what the circumstance because they are in violation of these specific provisions of the cited HCOB:

Any org staff declaring a Dianetic Clear “achieved in other practices” is subject to expulsion from the Church.

Anyone suppressively validating squirrel practices or groups by stating they are producing Dianetic Clears is also actionable as above, as it is not possible.

People don’t go Clear in garbage eating or psychiatry – they perish. Thus, herding people into their hands by falsely validating them is suppressive.

Mosey’s immediately composed and sent reply to the above email highlights just how far off the deep end Miscavige has gone:

Thank you for your eval. But I keep telling you church people I am not, nor will I ever be, a member of your so called church. I have no interest whatsoever! Therefore, you do not have any power to cancel anything on me. Am I making myself crystal CLEAR?? Why don’t you go find one of your church members and run your non-clear r factor, because it has no effect here. Unless you guys have completely run out of church members to run it on.

Anonymous or Miscavige?

Just like clockwork, the day before I head out of town the shenannigans step up.  First, the unordered pizza is delivered. Then an unending battery of phone calls to home and cell.  There is a distortion filtered voice ominously announcing that I am wrong, that David Miscavige is not the source of the oppression dished out by the church of Scientology. It is L Ron Hubbard. I am to be dealt with because I say otherwise. I am being watched. 

No shit, Sherlock!  If you are gonna go through the trouble of throw-away phones, voice distorters, hiring some punks to script and execute this stuff, and coordinate it all around felonious mis-use of travel computers, at least tell me something I don’t know, and that I care about.

It sounds very much like an Anonymous prank. But, do they have access to airpline reservation information like we know Miscavige’s “church” does?  And thinking over the message, who would be more apt to send that one in particular, Anonymous or Miscavige?

It is probably an academic question, since Anonymous and Miscavige depend upon one another for their very existences, see https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/the-great-middle-path-redux/

The question really amounts to casual musing since, no matter who they are, they are attempting to divert a hurricane with spit wads.

Oh, yeah for law enforcement subscribers, the telephone sending the threats was 361-215-0394.

BBC One Panorama: Finally

David Miscavige and David Lubow – My own Frankenstein monsters

One of the reasons I call Dave Lubow Lil’ Dave or Mini-Dave is that historically he is brought in in times of desperation for David Miscavige when Black Ops are called for in his mind.   For many years we made a conscious effort to keep a tight reign on investigations so that no felonies were committed or overly aggressive actions were taken that might indicate we had adopted or condoned the Black Ops days of the GO. That was for survival reasons, since the public and courts had been given a heavy dose of Guardian’s Office Black Ops through the release of tens of thousands of documents by the DC Federal District Court in the late seventies.

But, when Miscavige’s own goose was being cooked, and his demands for retalitation and silencing became overpowering, and post removals became imminent, we brought in Dave Lubow.  Lubow is a creep to be sure.  But, he is a perfect 1.1 which is  qualification number one for a spy or Black Ops operative.  In many ways he is the perfect duplicate of Miscavige himself. That is, clueless when it comes to fundamental human virtues like love and forgiveness and empathy.  But utterly ruthless and devilishly clever when it came to manipulation, black propaganda, and destroying lives by any means necessary.

His first major assignment was to infiltrate the Las Vegas crowd in the early nineties. Miscavige was obsessed with Terri Gamboa, former Commodore’s Messenger and ED Author Services Inc.  Lubow lead a double – or triple or quadruple – life in Las Vegas, California and Australia during that op that lasted for several years.  Lubow lived with and befriended the Gamboas, the Gradys, Mark Fisher and others while doing all he could to pursuade them not to attack Miscavige. 

When Bob Minton of Lisa McPherson Trust fame had his attorneys on the verge of putting Miscavige square into the middle of the McPherson case (where he firmly belonged) Mike Rinder and I were personally assigned by Miscavige to  run Lubow on a no-expenses-spared international operation to  cave Minton by threatening his money.   Lubow created a number of identities, trotted around the globe creating a web of third party about Minton to the point where we actually had a large portion of Minton’s money frozen in a Swiss bank account.  Unfortunately for Minton, and regardless of his later humanitarian motives, his fortune was in fact amassed by less than ethical means. 

By that time – early 2000s, Lubow had made so much money committing overts on behalf of Miscavige that it became relatively easy to convinced him to begin taking Scientology courses and auditing – with the not so subtle hint that because of the nature of his work he could not be trusted unless he was firmly on board.  Considering himself a “Scientologist” (Miscavige style) created the perfect terrorist.  A man with absolutely no scruples when came to taking out Miscavige’s enemies by any means necessary.  A black ops specialist on a radical religious mission.

Since I do not have large Swiss bank accounts nor the backing of well-heeled enemies of Scientology to draw upon, Lubow’s tactics with respect to me are different. 

Miscavige had Lubow steer clear of me for a year and one half, correctly reasoning that I was not susceptible to either of  the only two missiles in Miscavige’s arsenal – pressure to the point of caving, followed by pay off.  Instead he had Lubow concentrate for months on those close to me – Mike Rinder, each and every one of my pc’s and pre-OTs.  Bless each and every one of their hearts, not a one caved and turned.  And so, quite naturally Miscavige and Lubow (the spineless cowards that they are) are now targetting Monique Rathbun.

It is the worst of the tormented world between the ears of David Miscavige.  Miscavige’s psychotic obsession with breaking up 2D relationships combined with his favorite Black Ops specialist.

So far, aside from rekindling and strengthening a number of old, local friendships of mine  that had sort of gone dormant during my 20 months of whistleblowing, Dave Lubow and the Black Ops Squad, on behalf of Dave Miscavige, did the following recently:

a) Surveilled Mosey’s ex-husband’s (a man whom I have never met)  home and photographed his current wife coming and going, third partied his ex-wife to the point where he felt compelled to defend her.

b) Told Mosey’s current associates that her ex-husband had her surveilled during their divorce several years ago  (before Mosey ever knew me).  A manufactured LIE, creating bonds between Mosey’s past and present associates.

c) Told Mosey’s associates about my mother’s suicide nearly fifty years ago, along with the rest of the Freedom Mag and anti-Marty sites material, and warned there is every reason to worry about Mosey’s well-being with me.

d) Expressed the intention (threatened) to contact Mosey’s immediate family with the same litany.

AND

e)  Said that there is reason to question the validity of the marriage of Mosey and I.  Specifically claiming that Michael J Rinder is not a “legitimate minister”.

Now, you’ve probably heard many stories about Miscavige’s obsession with breaking up 2D couples.  I am not the first he did it to while in the church and then continued to pursue it after I left.  I am privy to documentation that he spent months and huge sums of church parishioner donations trying to break up Marc and Claire Headley after they left the church (something he attempted to do to them for years while they were inside the church). 

 Miscavige has Mini-Dave challenging the validity of our legally performed and certified marriage.  Pursuant to the Cold War era intelligence tech he operates on,  Miscavige simply spreads the lie, full well knowing  it is a lie.

Now, I’ve been waiting for the appropriate moment to share this.  Mosey and I never intended to have a big, public wedding (here it is in the event you missed it, https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/07/13/back-in-the-saddle/) .  There was really one reason for being so overt about it. And Miscavige’s latest psychotic behavior serves as the perfect prompter to say why that occurred. That is line 23b of the marriage certificate, which asks for the name and title of the person performing the ceremony.  The answer in bold print is, MICHAEL J. RINDER, MINISTER OF INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY. That certificate has long-since been signed, sealed and delivered by the Clerk of the Pinellas County Florida Court to us in Texas. It is the first of a number of precedents being put in place to establish the absurdity and futility of Miscavige attempting to use COMMERCIAL law to dictate who may or may not refer to themselves as Scientologists.

Our marriage is a legal, certified FACT.  But, love is a far stronger bond than any authority can acknowledge or bestow. No matter how many PI’s little Hitler hires to spread no matter how much black propaganda to no matter how many people he will not change those FACTS.  All he accomplishes by doing so is to alienate people (and boy are they creeped out by Miscavige’s crew).   

That Miscavige is reduced to such childish tactics, demonstrates three things in my estimation:

a) He remains fixated on personal destruction of peoples’ second dynamics.

b) He is one of those low-life terrorists you see in the movies; you know, the ones that grab the protagonist’s wife and puts a knife to her throat when his back is to the wall.

c) He does not have the balls to challenge the legal FACT that his agents claim is not a fact.  What he doesn’t understand is that when he has Mini-Dave do that to an audience that has not been made captive (kool aid drinkers) he not only strengthens the bond he seeks to break, he makes enemies by the dozens.

Do not get me wrong, I am not complaining. One reaps what one sews. I helped to create these monsters. 

I think all I can do now is to do what I can to bring about as-isness to that creation. 

So, I’ll continue with attempting to impart truths as it is truth that brings about as-isness.

Memo to the two Daves:

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. – Bible, New Testament, 1 John 4:18

In case you can’t wrap your wits around that one, a simpler memo to Dave (s):

Miscavige Black Ops Squad Hits Corpus Christi

Apparently, we are impinging of late.

The PIs are suddenly in the Corpus Christi Bay area en masse.  They’ve been here all the time according to my observations, as confirmed by D/IG Legal Affairs’ (Warren McShane) memorialized statement to the Riverside County Sheriff’s office.  But, now the king of knee-jerk has sent another platoon lead by Black Ops Specialist Dave Lubow. 

Fresh from the Dead Brother Op in Los Angeles https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/murder-outs/ , where his illegal acts have landed him as a target in a more senior law enforcement investigation, Lubow showed his weasely visage to local friends and former associates.

Date coincident the surveillance crews have gone noisy.  Mosey and I can’t even have a quiet meal at the local chuck wagon without some heifer with a crew cut plopping down beside us straining his ear.  By the frequency of the slow drive-bys, starting yesterday and increasing today, you’d think the Shack was put on the Texas historical monuments list. 

Now, old associates and friends are reporting in to me with the Private Investigator confrontation reports.  Because I was the main investigative reporter putting ethics in on corrupt politicians around here for years, Miscavige’s PIs are necessarily talking to influential people in the Corpus area. And, as is Miscavige/OSA’s wont, they have in the course of twenty-four hours given Scientology a horrendous name far and wide throughout South Texas. 

Now, here is perhaps the most interestng data.  I phoned Lubow a couple of weeks ago to ask him about the Dead Brother Operation.  Mosey and Sam Domingo listened in as witnesses.  After Lubow lied about his involvement in the Dead Brother Op, I asked him why it was that he seemed to have a penchant for confronting women and a fear of men.  I noted that nearly all of my female pc’s and pre-OTs have been contacted by him, but none of the males.  I also noted that he went all the way to Denver in an attempt to intimidate Mike Rinder’s former 2D, but never had the nuts to confront Mike.   Dave Lubow went dead silent, comm lagged, and then went into a litany that made all of us (Sam, Mosey and I) conclude Davey is getting paid to troll my blog.  Can you imagine, Miscavige paying this runt 80 to 100 bucks an hour to troll me? 

Well, even though he has been called out on it, little Davey visited two women who work with Mosey today; one ambushed as she arrived home from work.  Mosey’s fellow workers have no involvement with Scientology and very little, if any, contact with me.  One blew him off, and one wisely recorded Lubow going through his entire black PR presentation on me and Mosey. Davey,  I guess Eliott Abelson didn’t brief you that Texas is a one-party consent recording state, you loser.

In addition to ruining Scientology PR in yet another region,  tiny Davey has accomplished the following by launching little Davey: creating fresh liability on collateral targets who have never done a blessed thing to him.

Memo to Davey (Miscavige) and Davey (Lubow):
