Disrespectful. You are showing that you are a fucking idiot because you are making fun of a person’s height. To decrease the COB’s value because his body is not as many inches long as yours is a sign that you need help.
Hey Alan, for all you know COB may actually be physically taller than I. Nevertheless I still look down on him. The only reason his body size gets any attention is because he make such a deal about being a Big Being.
Alan wrote “Disrespectful. You are showing that you are a fucking idiot because …”.
If it were almost anyone else, I’d agree with Alan, but Miscavige himself is 100 times more disrespectful than RB. Miscavige makes jokes about the contents of someone’s PC folder, reads out loud staff O/Ws at staff muster to humiliate staff members, and commits daily a long, sordid list of physical and mental abuses. Miscavige himself is extremely petty (and vain), and makes sexist and racist jokes about his underlings, and in front of his underlings… Regraded Being is just giving the terror midget a taste of his own medicine. From what I hear, Miscavige is very touchy about his image to the world at large (he even wears elevator shoes), and RB knows how to push his buttons.
Hi Pepper. Don’t really know. You see, in order to be able to caricature COB correctly, I have to actually get in his head. (a really stinky, depressingly confused place) Some of the images I draw such as the cross or the scn symbol or the one you mention come from that place. I don’t really know what they mean. I just know that they are what he sees.
Hope this helps.
Nope. It is all the work of the brilliant Regraded Being. RB sends me a cartoon to publish each week. I merely relay them. I have no participation in their creation.
Another great lampooning of Der Leader-meister, “His Shortness” DM…(LOL)

Gosh, this almost makes me wish I was still drinking the Kool Aid. Those two better tread very carefully and not think any unkind thoughts about cobby, though.
We’ve all done it. Assigning special qualities to others because of position, fame, power.
In essence, the worship of personalities is really a revelation of lack of self realization. Lack of self knowledge.
It is the giving away of our own personal power to someone else. It is an essential quality of a cult member. I am low and you are high. You know and I don’t.
It is a sign of incredible lack of self honoring and recognition of self empowerment.
Those who are constantly quoting Ron to validate something is a definite sign of worshiping the cult of personality.
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The Cult of Personality
I know your anger
I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you want to be
I’m the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I’m the Cult of Personality

I had the opposite experience when I actually met the little dweeb. In Dec 2008 my ex and I were in LA for the New Years event and our Patron Meritorious pins. When I went on stage and shook his hand I was shocked to find it soft and cold…..and his eyes were like shark eyes dead and without the spark his big smile should have produced. At that brief second the only thing that ran across my mind was….”something evil this way comes”. Just another jab my instincts were doing to wake me up I guess.
Hi loriisfree,Good to meet you.Your post is excellent.”his eyes were like shark eyes dead and without spark” really made me feel that David Miscavige lost his soul long ago & never had a heart either.Frightening that all the celebs & whales glorify such evil.So glad you woke up & so glad I did too.For SO & paying public alike when evil presents in Ron or David the spirit within us knew something was vey wrong.Take Care.Ann
Hi Ann, what you said about how scary it is that the celebs and whales glorify such evil, it reminded me of Tom Cruise’s freedom medal ceremony, when he looked over at Miscavige and said, “I have never met a more competent, a more intelligent, a more tolerant, a more compassionate being…so I say to you COB we are lucky to have you and thank you very much”…that Kool Aid is pretty powerful stuff!!
Hi Kathy H,Wow the KoolAid is powerful & makes the bs from TC just roll off his tongue.But when I really look at what TC said about David Miscavige I realize how up to his neck he is with delusions of grandeur & allegiance to a very dangerous individual.But again mix the KoolAid with a billion dollars of ill gotten cash & one has a mighty potent stew to sew evil with.Always Ann.
Funny stuff, RB. Plus, and I can’t figure out why, but that little head with just the high hair is such a button for me, in a good way. You brightened my morning, RB. Thank you!
Hypnotic trance and crazy eyes is the end product of a David Miscavige Maiden Voyage Event.
Attendees are given their marching orders to go out and be a Worker Bee for the church. This includes convincing their fellow Scientologists to give away their pension plan, retirement fund, college fund, etc., for Ideal Orgs or the IAS, and validating them for doing so.
Hi Regraded Being,That head of hair & the tumbler of scotch streaking past the doorway had me laughing so hard!Classic.I also love the PC folder part & the conquest clearing of the planet.I well know how dangerous cos can be using & setting up one via use of PC folder info,but on Fridays sometimes I need to laugh & you are brilliant with your piece today.Always Ann.
To the guys at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, to Harry Hay and Leonard Matlovich, to Harvey Milk and all of the others of my tribe who didn’t live to see this day, I salute and say two little words: “Done, Sir!”
To L. Fraud Homophobe and David Let Him Die Miscavige, you get another salute: two gigantic middle fingers straight in your faces. You can insert the decimal place between them yourselves. That’s what we are, and we’re proud. Try to eliminate this day quietly and without sorrow.
Hi Espiando,I am genuinely happy for you today.How those that have gone before suffered because of their choice & belief.Quentin,you can pilot your plane wherever you are & laugh freely now.Ann.
Being gay is not a choice, a decision or a ‘valence’ that can be audited out. It’s biology, plain and simple.
Hubbard even wanted to cash in on the gay community, with his Pray the Gay Away ooh, “Audit the hag out” Valence Processing. For a person who claims to have been Buddha in his past lifetime, discovered other universes, traveled through time and space exterior to his body, etc., it seems awfully strange that he would put any attention on “homosexuality” whatsoever.
Hi Pepper,Ron was strange in so many ways it is hard sometimes to sort through all his stories about himself & all,the “adventures ” he claimed to have been on & all the beings he assigned to himself.One point I do feel is that he treated his wives terribly & broke Mary Sues heart over his nasty & evil treatment of her eldest child Quentin.Ron hated him because he was gay & wanted nothing more than to fly.Ron did not want one of his children turning their back on his religion.By the way David Miscavige was or is still married right? Did he or his wife ever have kids or did he ever have step kids? Also Ron never told the truth about how many kids he had & I do not think was in any way farther of the year let alone the decades.Always Ann.
Hello cimvar, I have read Monica’s story “My Nine Lives in Scientology” and it’s one of the best. I never knew Quentin Hubbard, so I have no idea if he was gay or not.
I do know a lot of gay people though, and one of my best friends growing up and still today, is a lesbian. As a teen and young adult, she kept her sexuality in the closet although she dressed like a boy and never dated them either. She endured horrible abuse during her teen aged years by other kids, even though she never openly said “I am a lesbian” or had an open dating/sexual relationship with another girl.
The point I am trying to make is that many young people keep their sexual orientation to themselves, even more so in the 1970’s than today. Has any woman ever admitted to having a sexual relationship with Quentin, even though he told Monica he once did with a girl and she was “sent off the ship”? Quentin may well have loved Monica but not necessarily in the way that he would have ever had a sexual relationship with her. Monica also stated in her story that regarding the rumors that Quentin was a homosexual, he probably was so because he was never allowed to have a heterosexual relationship with someone. People aren’t gay because they were prevented from having a hetero relationship with another. This shows a lack of understanding of the dynamics of homosexuality on her part, although her love for, and good intentions towards Quentin shines throughout her story.
If Quentin was gay, imagine how difficult life would have been for him to be the son of a father, a religious leader, who had no tolerance for “the homosexual.” LGBT teens and young adults have one of the highest rates in suicide attempts, and Quentin admitted to his own suicide attempts on at least two occasions. He is gone now. We never got to see the real Quentin and who he might have become had he been able to live the truth of his own life.
(I’m sorry if this post if off topic but the subject came up and I felt compelled to write. I’ll end on it now).
Hi Pepper,You are a sweetheart & thank you so much for your post.In the long view it really does not matter if any cos or SO member was gay bi lesbian etc or not. What does matter to me is what the Tech did to us all,& how many we lost forever going forward through the years.All I can write was my experience albeit for a month or so with Quentin & share the memory of the handwritten notes Mary Sue would write me from The Apollo thanking me for the hand drawn Xmas cards I sent Ron & her family at Christmas & how much she loved his sensitive side,meaning her son.There will always be strong opinions on murder vs suicide in a lot of cases of OTs who were found passed under strange circumstances.I can say that this thought has literally taken me until this year to figure out,I honestly believe that Ron & those totally determined to carry out his instructions to the letter,were & are capable of ordering anything to stop anyone who they feel is a threat to cos or now cob & the big $ celebs & big $ whales.They must be protected at all costs as the walk in base dwindles to zero.In fact I have not posted this but a few days after Ron passed excuse me took off for Target 2 or 3 we lived in Richmond Va.Walter was out of town on business & I got a phone call ai 11:30 PM fron two individuals from the GO in Calif.it may have been the OSA then but they knew my address unlisted phone number & for the next half hour berated me with threats and garbage that was just terrible.Why did I stay on the line? I’m stubborn & I wanted to see how far they would go.Far enough I’ll tell you.So I still feel all these years later Fair Game as regards when I was declared really is put into practice with very twisted intent.You are so right I read Monica’s story too & I know she tells it most compellingly & it was most interesting however I agree with you we will never know what Quentin would have become that is the tragedy & mystery of this evil cult,It is so hard to live the life that one wants I’m almost 64 & I struggle with that also..I just think we are all shining spirits & how we escaped cos and ended up here is breathtaking.Your lesbian friend sounds like such a good person.I wish her all good things.And for you lots of love,Ann.
Right on, Espiando! I grew up with gays and lesbians in my extended family. It was always a non-issue. I lost my mom when I was 30. My cousin Gail, a lesbian, who was extremely close to my mom, basically became my second mom. Gail passed away 3 1/2 years ago after just turning 70. Before she passed, she told me that I was like her kid. I couldn’t have been given a great compliment, and cried tears of joy.
So, the bigots have lost and common sense has prevailed. I only wish Gail had lived long enough to see it.
The joking and degrading segment reminds me when I was a kid running around with a not so ethical person.
Stealing candy seemed to be a cool okay thing to do…..till I got caught. To J & D is one thing but to use a person’s pc folder data to do so is way below joking and degrading, it is sleaze to the nth degree.
By the way if I were David Miscavige I wouldn’t be as worried about the FBI and IRS as I would of Louis Farrakhan. That pile of money and real estate Miscavige is sitting on can be very enticing. In the current Scientology culture Farrakhan is the elephant in the room that no one sees.
It is like when two coyotes get into a fight, you don’t care which one wins. Either way, there is one less coyote to deal with. The Maiden Voyage stuff that has leaked out over the last week or so has been sadly hilarious. So much love for Mr 4foot 13, so little done to earn that love.
David ‘let him die’ Miscavage is the proper successor to Lron. He exhibits the same narcissism and bipolar mood swings that Lron exhibited. He ‘adjusts’ and ‘corrects’ the ‘tech’ at his ‘ecclesiastical’ whim and does all that is necessary to keep the money flowing. Ever notice that you can’t talk about the clampire with out a lot of clam jargon to explain the mindset? Who is getting cognitive dissonance now?
Excellent RB today. My semi-eternal {not a billion years } gratitude to the artist and writer.
Hi zemooo,I love your post today.I fool around with the billion year number in my posts just so I can remind myself how much I was in & On Source all those years ago.Yikes Ann.Yes even though David was after my time I too feel he is the proper successor to Ron.Your comment on narcissism & mood swings hit home as Ron was a master at those two states & he sure adored money.Always Ann.
LDW, I made that panel disappear as I did the wallet. My Oat Tee skills are just unbelievable! And I mean that literally. I put the panel in the back of my car and the wallet in my back pocket. Hey, I needed a few bucks…
It’s amazing about the the third panel, my nauseometer
Rock Slammed with it missing and also when it was added.
At 4 foot 13 inches the COB is closer to wallets and purses,
thats an advantage.
And gifted to the COB to be put up behind his desk, lights and everything. Then we await the publicity photos of his office with bated breath…oh, well. It is a lovely dream!
Oh my gawd. And the stomach turns. Once again, in your satire, you spoke eerily too close to the truth. I have heard such fawning over run-ins with DM. You almost repeated one of them.
Good luck today, Mike. As I said yesterday at the Underground Bunker, “Saldarriaga’s plea agreement, it stinks. What prosecutor would allow the source of the injustice to remain at liberty to repeat the crime?”
I saw COB at a Maiden Voyage a few years before leaving the church. After observing his behavior on the back deck with his entourage, my take was – he was completely out of valence and really not comfortable in his own skin. It was pretty shocking.
I met COB at the opening of my ideal org. He was truly God-like, probably the biggest being I had ever seen. You could just perceive he had no overts cause his space was so clean. I couldn’t quite see, but it appeared he levitated to the stage. We all should strive to be just like him.
Alan says

LDW, I made that panel disappear as I did the wallet. My Oat Tee skills are just unbelievable! And I mean that literally. I put the panel in the back of my car and the wallet in my back pocket. Hey, I needed a few bucks…
Jose Chung says
It’s amazing about the the third panel, my nauseometer
Rock Slammed with it missing and also when it was added.
At 4 foot 13 inches the COB is closer to wallets and purses,
thats an advantage.
ERROL says
And Regarded Being keeps getting better and better. You keep setting the hilarity bar higher and higher
Jose Chung says
Nailed it !!!!!!
This one needs a Golden Frame with spot lights.
James Morris says
And gifted to the COB to be put up behind his desk, lights and everything. Then we await the publicity photos of his office with bated breath…oh, well. It is a lovely dream!
McCarran says
Oh my gawd. And the stomach turns. Once again, in your satire, you spoke eerily too close to the truth. I have heard such fawning over run-ins with DM. You almost repeated one of them.
Sergeant Pepper says
Good luck today, Mike. As I said yesterday at the Underground Bunker, “Saldarriaga’s plea agreement, it stinks. What prosecutor would allow the source of the injustice to remain at liberty to repeat the crime?”
Mike Nimble says
Don’t hold your breath. The law is not about justice. It is about what is lawful, or not lawful.
Gail Paige says
I saw COB at a Maiden Voyage a few years before leaving the church. After observing his behavior on the back deck with his entourage, my take was – he was completely out of valence and really not comfortable in his own skin. It was pretty shocking.
Anon says
I met COB at the opening of my ideal org. He was truly God-like, probably the biggest being I had ever seen. You could just perceive he had no overts cause his space was so clean. I couldn’t quite see, but it appeared he levitated to the stage. We all should strive to be just like him.
Chee Chalker says
That wasn’t levitation, Anon……..thoae were apple crates
Old Surfer Dude says
Pffft! I’ve been levitating for years now! No big thing. Jack Daniels can do wonders…
