Before I get started on another IAS fraud story, a short announcement. On the day of the IAS event, tomorrow Friday Oct 15th, a one hour interview with Mike Rinder will be aired on the Edge with Tom Smith in Tampa. You can tune in at 12:30 p.m. eastern time at www.hawkradio.com.
With the annual IAS event just around the corner, here is some timely news.
Below you will find an actual casting call notice in the United Kingdom. It was issued the week of the IAS event 2009. Rumors swirled about this in certain forums many months ago. I couldn’t believe it was looking for extras for the IAS event. I guess I was reasonable. Recently I met with an actor who actually answered the call. He confirmed that five busloads of extras were shipped out to fill up the Great Hall at St Hill Manor for the 25th Anniversary event. The actors were briefed that they were not to let on that they were extras. They were instructed to act enthusiastic as if they were thrilled to hear Miscavige’s bombastic claims at the event.
You might want to advise kool aid drinkers you know who insist on going to events to be on the look out for folks who just don’t seem to fit in, folks who perhaps are acting. But, maybe that won’t be of much use, since I believe the majority of folks going to those events these days are doing just that: trying really hard to pretend that it is all for real.

The following is an excerpt from a mid-2007 despatch dictated by David Miscavige.
In the last few weeks, it has not been nice. Do you know that pimple you saw? Well, I popped it. We’re talking two guys buying X-rated movies and masturbating simultaneously in the same room with one being the husband and one being the wife, going through Dean and Deluca (a gourmet mail order catalog) catalogs as husband and wife and the bald-headed guy buying the other one cheese as a favor. We’re talking about the guy who was on the finance lines and refused to get you the finance issues, waiting for R to come back so he can be permanently appointed for the rest of the universe as the International Finance Dictator. We’re talking about me finding out exactly what Mike was doing in 1982. We’re talking about Marc’s op. We’re talking about me knowing exactly what MR has been doing on his sympathizing for all the SPs who got nothing done.
Translation: The bald-headed fellow is Marc Yager, WDC Chairman and CO CMO INT. The cheese-eater is Guillaume Lesevre, ED International. You’ve heard Mike, Tom, Steve, Dan, Amy and I talk or write about Miscavige’s constant accusations that Yager and Guillaume were homosexual lovers. Well, here it is in writing. This is after Debbie Cook’s experience in the Hole wherein Miscavige threatened all of Int that if they didn’t get a homosexual confession out of Marc and Guillaume, he would send Tom Cruise down to beat the hell out of them. Debbie reported that Marc and Guillaume did not confess despite brutal beatings. Debbie was then ordered to stand in a garbage can with a sign “lesbian” around her neck to be physically and orally assaulted for the next day. For those unfamiliar with this history please see, https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/45-days-in-the-hole-final-purges-part-4/
After all that, what does Miscavige do? He starts writing despatches like the one above to his pets at the time in continental units. He runs a black propaganda campaign, with purely invented, lewd stories to tittilate his minions and destroy the reputation of top international management.
The Int Finance Dir he refers to is Wendell. And yes, he is waiting for LRH; and the fact he won’t come off that belief drives Miscavige batty daily.
The reference to MR (Rinder) sympathizing with SPs back in 82? You got it, he had disagreements with the power pushes Miscavige did at the time violently taking out Mayo, two CO CMO Ints, Mary Sue Hubbard, and Mission Holders Network.
That’s right DOX. Plenty of them. Spread around the world in dozens of safe locations to guarantee they shall see the light of day. Despite Miscavige’s expensive, violent, and best efforts otherwise.
A lot of people have noted that Miscavige’s events and speeches are taking on more of an hypnotic sounding tone, and yet his sheep don’t seem to notice. There are also many comments here wondering aloud how on earth kool aid drinkers can keep compulsively drinking kool aid in the face of the abuses escalating within the church. I believe the following may shed a bit of light on those concerns.
David Miscavige developed a technique that he called “rolling thunder” for his event presentations. Mike Rinder and others who worked on events over time can describe this far more competently than me since I was not so intimately involved in the event evolutions as they were. But I know this much, Rolling thunder consisted of a series of “facts” and “stats” of the church – all exaggerated, and some made up out of whole cloth – being forcefully communicated to the audience and accented with overwhelming and building music, lights and graphics being flashed in the recipients’ faces – until the climax of an “applause line” is reached. “Rolling thunder” is considered achieved if, and only if, the entire crowd is swept to their feet in adoring, accepting, and rapturous AGREEMENT with the “applause line” of the speaker. Miscavige was obsessed with ensuring his speeches in particular had several “rolling thunder” moments. Over the years, he weeded out the involvement of other speakers in the events until over the past few years there has only been one, David Miscavige. When you add to the equation that virtually all church of Scientology staff have been forced, coerced and conditioned into immediately and savagely punishing the slightest indication of “doubt” about the infallibility of David Miscavige that manifests itself with any church staff or public, you’ve got a perfect recipe for disaster. That is, mind controlling hypnotism on a mass scale.
While reading a section of the Phoenix lecture – Axioms, Part III, on the subject of how Scientology can be reversed to effectuate hypnotism – all of the above came back to me. I believe the following passage sheds light on what Scientology public have been subjected to, increasingly, for the past twenty years in very regular, predictable intervals.
The whole of existence, actually, is run very much like an hypnotic trance. How do you hyptnotize somebody? Well, you get them to agree with you. And then you get them to agree with you a little bit more. Oh, most people think that it’s done by watches or something or other. It’s not done that way. It’s done in a very interesting way.
I don’t know much aboutWestern hypnotism. I myself studied hypnotism in the East and when I came over to America again, I wondered what on earth this strange practice was that these people were practicing and calling hypnotism. Because it wasn’t even vaguely what is taught in the East to induce trances. It’s quite remarkable that hypnotism is inducible on small or large groups.
Now, the worse off a group is, which is to say, the less communication they have, actually, the more communication can be forced upon them. And you can get a form of hypnotism there. But the interesting thing is that they must have been prepared by an enormous number of agreements before they got into that state. In other words, somebody else prepared them, so they didn’t care who they agreed with after a while.
Anybody in a uniform walks up to a soldier, if that uniform has a higher rank on, the soldier will obey them. Well, this is a form of hypnotism.
Now, you can take an audience and simply get them to agree with you. And you get them to agree more and more and more and more and more and the next thing you know — and, by the way, when I say ‘agree with you’, I mean you could get them to agree first that you were simply standing there.
And then, the next thing that you could get them to agree to is the fact that they were listening to you. And then you would give them a few little things on which they would agree with. And the next thing you know, you could tell them that the world was on fire and the audience would rush out to find out. Or maybe they just sit there and burn. It’s quite interesting. But you could move it out that way.
Now, what is this all about? Does that mean that anybody bringing about an agreement would bring about hypnotism? Oh no. The reason why in Scientology we do not bring about a hypnotism, even by Opening Procedure by Duplication – every Case V, that’s had this run on him claims, it’s a way to induce a trance – but every single one of the tenets of Scientology could be reversed and with a bad intention, and so forth, could be worked out in the opposite direction.
We are undoing the agreements which people have been making for 76 trillion years. Only we’re undoing them, so this makes them freer and freer and freer.
Now, show you this fellow on the stage who simply gets the audience to agree and agree and agree and agree and then tells them the place is on fire. Oh? He isn’t really going in the direction of making them freer, is he? His intention for this is entirely different.
It isn’t that intention is above agreement. It’s that consideration is always above agreement. And he is trying to work them into a situation where they will accept what he says without question. We’re not interested in Scientology, in anybody accepting what we say without question. We ask them to question it. We ask them to please look at the physical universe around you, please look at people, at your own mind and understand, thereby,that what we are talking about happens to be actual. This is the series of agreements. These are. They aren’t just fancy ideas.
Let us also consider the following facts. First, over the past thirty years the church’s Bridge has altered to consist on average of more than fifty percent security checks. And those security checks are done within an imposed mores that considers the highest crime one can commit is to question the infallibility of David Miscavige. Second, over those same thirty years church staff have been pressured and coerced into immediately, and ruthelessly, punishing anyone who might manifest the slightest doubt about the veracity of the utterances of Miscavige. Third, RTC has been programmed to immediately target and destroy the life of anyone who dares report on false reports delivered in events by Miscavige. Those are people who actually observed arrogantly announced Miscavige “facts” to not in fact exist in the physical universe. Fourth, church policy has evolved that has any member seriously punished for exposing himself or herself to any source of information (by personal contact, by way of media, or the internet) that does not agree with Miscavige’s official state of Scientology utterances.
Is there really any question why once intelligent and caring people are now acting like so many cattle dutifully lining up for slaughter?
Interesting how the more inclusive and empathic we become the more it seems to shake up and stir misemotion and divisivenes in some. Aside from the trolls and OSA agents on our fringes, there are some who purport to be “independent Scientologists” who express a very narrow minded and intolerant view of those who do not march lock-step with the Scientology world view.
L Ron Hubbard was truly ahead of his time in many respects. Unfortunately, for whatever reasons that could be debated for many lifetimes, his ideas were monopolized in a zealotous religious context that has resulted in Scientology being left in the dust by great minds.
The following video presentation is a great example. The fantastic “recent” discovery outlined in its opening few minutes I just listened to LRH detail fifty-eight years ago in the Philadelphia Doctorate Course. Of course, he did so using his own terms and nomenclature. So, what is a Scientologist (of the church variety) programmed to do? Sneer in contempt because the the author of the video speaks in terms of “hard wiring” and relates it to mental health concepts of brain development instead of the timeless, immortal mind as descibed by LRH. Sit back, arms tightly folded in arrogance, asserting an air of haughty rightness, gnashing his teeth contemplating the hopeless wrongness of the author. In protest and to solidify that rightness and other-wrongness, he maybe takes a second morgtage on his home to donate another twenty-five grand to IAS, thinking it will be used to bust a couple psychs somewhere. And in the interim, those many intelligent and caring minds (of whatever sciences and disciplines) move ahead trying to solve the very same problems Hubbard tried to solve thinking, with a great deal of justification, Scientologists are insular cultists with nothing to contribute.
I say “wake up”, read, investigate, discover, communicate.
Mid morning yesterday I posted mention of an Independent Church of Scientology. Less than a half day later Lil’ Dave (Private Investigator/Black Ops Specialist) fled Corpus Christi too quickly to be orderly. He zoomed a couple hundred miles north to Kemah Texas. He went straight to my personal Certified Public Accountant’s home (yes, home at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night). Lil’ Dave announced to the CPA that I had set up a new Church of Scientology and Lil’ Dave demanded to know whether my CPA had consulted on it. The CPA having never heard the word Scientology before looked at Lil’ Dave like he was looking at Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Incidentally, creating such reactive Miscavige orders winds up netting us all manner of evidence. Because of the nature my relationship with my personal CPA, the only the way the church could have made the connnection was the commission of a felony. Thanks Dave(s) on that score. Beside the point, but I’ll mention it for kicks, Miscavige will find the Independents’ legal and accountancy professionals when those folks decide it is time to summons Miscavige.
A few weeks ago, only a few short days after this blog broke out into a lengthy discussion of Miscavige’s re-definition of a floating needle, his missionaire Hansuili Stahli announced to someone he was trying to herd back into the pen, “Oh, three swings has been cancelled.” Lord knows when and what – of course Hansuili did not elaborate – definition out of Miscavige’s bank it has been replaced with. Incidentally, multiple reports on tech from the inside reflect the only changes inside are PR reports about how everything is changing – an unconvincing staff PR campaign.
In the past several months there have been a number of similar cause and effect cycles. We publicized the Int base staff being cut off from the outside world and families. Suddenly, Miscavige is organizing base “tours” for irate families worried about abuses. Of course, the visitors are given no tour at all. Instead, they are taken to the studio castle, put in a room (wired for sound and video) to visit a relative who looks like he or she just walked off the set of Night Of The Living Dead reciting a litany of pre-rehearsed PR lines. We educate people that Freeloader bills are, per LRH, literally only for freeloaders by definition. When enough of Miscavige’s “recovery” missions are stultified by educated ex-staff telling his representatives to take your bill and shove it, suddenly, the Creator of Lost Tech finds that LRH never intended for Freeloader bills to apply to Sea Org members. After Marc and Clarie, followed by several others, exposed the forced abortion scandal sufficiently wide, Miscavige orders newly pregnant mothers offloaded (as opposed to coerced to obtain an abortion and then if unsuccessful shipping them out to a small, failing, broke org).
The list goes on and on. For the most part the “remedies” are superficial and temporary (just so long as the heat is directed personally at Miscavige). And the big, wide abuses – those which Miscavige considers integral to his survival such as felonious and fraudulent regging, barbaric Machiavellian Disconnection pratices designed to keep his crimes quiet, Black Ops on dissidents and critics – continue to escalate to more abusive and bizarre extremes.
The great martial artist (both in individual contests and in directing larger campaigns) keeps his focus broad. He does not stare into the eyes of the opponent. He does not fix his eyes on the weapons or hands or feet of the opponent. He sees the entirety of the opponent and field of battle. Applying that to the field we find outselves in, the fact of the matter is abundantly clear:
David Miscavige and his minions are becoming increasingly EFFECT of our CAUSE.
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):
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.
Here is the vetted transcript of Miscavige’s response, internally, to the St Pete Times’ 2006 story about the Super Power building delays. Vetted by Miscavige’s secretarial pool to delete the long string of foul, abusive language, and to put “[ ]” where MCPHERSON CASE was uttered.
And you thought Mike, Tom, and I were kidding about the groundbreaking being done at Miscavige’s order solely for the purpose of diverting attention from the McPherson case?
How about his intent to “create as big a mess right next to City Hall as possible” by buying up and prettying up as many buildings as possible in downtown Clearwater? And note that all of the construction and renovations is aimed at proving things are flourishing and prospering for PR purposes — no intention to get the Super Power building done so any delivery can occur. This is why the city has such a jaundiced view of the white elephant Super Power building still sitting there incomplete. Tens if not hundreds of millions have been spent on other properties while the white elephant grows mildew — all projects that began years after the “Mecca building.”
How about his frothing contradictions: the St Pete Times are writing to his public, then in the next breath it is the anti-Scientology public?
How about his thinly veiled, and suppressed, rock slam on the terminal Joe Childs (Managing Editor of the St Petersburg Times)?
How about his oft-heard complaint about anything that is delayed “you have forced me to do it because you are incompetent [though I will not approve anything you send me so you cannot possibly get anything done] and now I am so overloaded doing everyone else’s job that it is impossible for me to get it done. So, that’s proof YOU delayed it.” (While the latest submission has been sitting in his office for 6 months untouched).
Incidentally, if anyone has been ripped off for plenty on the Super Ponzi in recent years – and wants to do something about it – please email me.
DAVID MISCAVIGE TRANSCRIPT:
May 7, 2006 (1:40 pm)
RE: st. pete times—yours of may 6, 2006
Let me tell you the problem with this: A complete delay on completing cycles of action in Clearwater. Flourish and Prosper is the way to go.
You forget that back in `98 with all the [__] stuff going on, I made sure the building got announced. It squashed things for a while—even with the criminal case.
All of this does come down to just crap execution on construction planning and so forth.
In other words, even though you don’t think so, the main priority is to get the renos done on these different buildings. Everything from the Hacienda and the Sherwood (so they look like the best apartment houses in town—which they will), to the Oak Cove (and create as big a mess right next to City Hall as possible), to the Mecca getting rolling, to the FH.
Putting in a call to Joe Childs is a virtual waste of time. I don’t know who these people in the St. Pete Times are writing to, but they obviously think they are writing to our public. What would any local person give a damn about a piloting of a Super Power rundown? They wouldn’t. So it’s become quite clear: The St. Pete Times is not trying to inform their readers (there’s not a Christian in town who would give a damn about that article) and they must think they’re just writing for the anti-Scientology crowd. That is who they are writing to.
The answer is to actually start getting some dones on the expansion. And, as far as filling the vacuum with these guys, you have some new op on always using external public. Most of Ben’s answer is he “refuses to talk about it.” I don’t know a goddamn thing that’s confidential about the Super Power in terms of people training or whatever. And so some mystery is being created and there’s just 1.1 lines from Farley on this.
The big withhold is that Int has stalled the construction so much and still has it completely over to me. Your handling is no handling. I could think one up with Joe, but why bother. Why don’t you?
I’ve got two and one half words for those Miscavige sheeple who might point to the following promotion piece and repeat to you some hackneyed propaganda line like, “you see, Miscavige really is following through!” Check out the promo and then I’ll give you a good two and one half word response.
In my opinion, the only appropriate two and one half words in response are: You’re Welcome.
If anyone attributes this “committment” suddenly being made by Miscavige to open the mecca in the near future to anything other than word spreading far and wide in the field that Super Power is a Miscavige Ponzi scheme, he or she must be a full-fledged, diamond encrusted, DM sheeple, with honors.
For those who missed it, I outlined earlier how the ONLY reason for the late 1998 groundbreaking of the Super Power building (an event remarkably similar to the promoted Cross Raising on Mecca) was to counteract the bad public relations of the church having recently been indicted for the death of Lisa McPherson. Tom Devocht and Mike Rinder confirmed that. All three of us were golden shovel diggers at the 1998 event. The three of us organized it and answered directly to Miscavige every step of the way.
Now, exhibit B follows.
On its face, it is pure chutzpah. Announce a three day event, complete with jugglers and clowns, to put the final touches on the “mecca” while at the same time issuing a call to arms to recruit (and train) 500 tech staff so that the aptly named Radical Scientology building can be opened? I shouldn’t have to say more, but, believe it not, I have more to add.
As Inspector general between 98 and 2004 I regularly received reports of the Super Power tech man up. RTC Reps directly ran the evolution. They fought like wounded steers to keep the numbers rising against constant Miscavige cross orders through CMO to rip off resources for other whims of his. Yes, he was ordering both – and cross ordering both. He was great at creating enemies within the ranks.
Notwithstanding working for a certifiable psychopath, the Reps were finally able to report compliance in 2003 that they had in fact secured the full Super Power technical complement and had them segregated from other training pools and in training.
What I am suggesting to you is that Miscavige somehow managed to cross order those original five hundred to zero. And now, on the verge of losing scores of his compliant, well-heeled OTs to their beginning to understand his Super Power Ponzi, he is starting from scratch WHILE announcing the cherry being placed on the cake, uhm, the cross being placed on the mecca.
Incidentally, the fact that Alfreddie Johnson will be the master of ceremonies is another reason for people to believe this is, as we say in Texas, “all hat and no cattle.” He can certainly stir a crowd, but he’s not exactly known as being part of the tech hierarchy. Or perhaps, given that he is the Nation of Islam liaison, there really is something more to this “mecca” smoke and mirrors.
Having outlined all this, I’ve re-thought the two and one half word response.
Perhaps instead of “you’re welcome” it ought to be “I’m sorry.”
Abraham Lincoln has been quoted as saying “I never tire of reading Tom Paine.”
Neither do I. Paine’s The Age of Reason was of tremendous help to me in moving beyond fixed, negative patterns of thought instilled by the church of Scientology (Miscavology).
I believe the following passage from Age of Reason describes the mindset that is leading church followers down the dwindling moral spiral:
I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe.
It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believehe has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and, in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this?
Here is another passage that exposes the dark historical precedence for practices Miscavige has institutionalized in order to capitalize on people’s consciences (realize, this was written more than 200 years ago):
The Idea, always dangerous to Society as it is derogatory to the Almighty,–that priests could forgive sins,— though it seemed to exist no longer, had blunted the feelings of humanity, and callously prepared men for the commission of all crimes.
Paine describes four tricks traditionally used by organized religion in order to control and corrupt people – Mystery, Miracle, Prophecy, and Revelation. I’ll open for discussion how revelation has been used to herd Scientologists in a later post. But, I’ll complete this book recommendation with a passage on the initial three. I think you might recognize these devices continually employed in the church of Scientology – most particularly and directly by Miscavige during the events that most occupy his time, public events.
Upon the whole, Mystery, Miracle, and Prophecy, are appendages that belong to fabulous and not to true religion. They are the means by which so many Lo heres! And Lo theres! have been spread about the world and religion been made into a trade. The success of one imposter gave encouragement to another, and the quieting salvo of doing some good by keeping up a pious fraud protected them from remorse.
