Byron that isn&#039;t the stat of anyone in RTC, according to Hubtard anyway.  That is the stat of the WDC Chairman (CO CMO INT).]]></description>

Well no other &quot;religion&quot; (not even &quot;cultish&quot; NRMs) builds a concentration camp specifically for its high-ranking members to be thrown in.

Miscavige has no succession plan (and such groups typically don&#039;t have them) and has gutted much of the structure of the group. One can speculate about what happens at the end, unless an internal coup scenario flashes out to be anything other than hypothetical at this point.

Rubbery numbers may not be unique to Scientology, but the gap between illusion and reality is unmatched.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As always, no stories about how Dave was lovable. or honest, or compassionate, or ethical, or had qualities of someone you actually wanted to hang out with and trade stories of the good old days.  It&#039;s another fake happy birthday for him, with his fake well-wishers telling lies so obvious, and so odious, that no one could possibly believe them.

Scientology changed David Miscavige, and not for the better.  His dad once told stories about what a good kid Dave was when he was young, meaning Before Sea Org. Today, he tells lies as if he believes them himself.  He seems incapable of being honest with those members in good standing who still believe in the &quot;tech.&quot;   He gives no outward appearance of believing in the tech, nor is he seen using it, or desiring to &quot;advance spiritually&quot; up their so-called Bridge.

What other leader of a religion acts as if the religion does not exist except as a numbers game - dollars donated, amount of real estate owned, and charts of fake stats?

Personally, I see no happiness or love for life in him.  That is an iron-bound prison that he may never escape.  Scientology has done him no favors.  Anyone who wishes him to suffer should just wish him a long life, because he has shown no sign of maturing or enjoying life as he approaches what for many are their retirement years.  

Could Dave retire?  Doubtful, because his successor would need a scapegoat for all that is wrong in the cherch, with Dave the prime target should he step down.  And how could Dave justify a nice golden parachute to pay for his personal chef and Jon Lobbe elevator shoes?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/blowing-more-smoke-captain-miscaviges-way/#comment-479654&quot;&gt;Dead Man Talking Bill Straass&lt;/a&gt;.

Yogi was, to me, a kind and dear soul.  I enjoyed the short time that we were on staff together.  Lots of laughing, I know, that doesn&#039;t fit with the scene, but he was a lot of fun.  He was a loud character.  I think that accent may have been Brooklyn or Bronx, not sure. 

I remember once when he was holding the cans for a meter drill for another student, and he was asked for a time that he wanted to get out. You of course already know why, but the desire of the student was to have Yogi turn on a theta bop (I actually forgot and had to think about what it was called, hallelujah!).  Yogi sat there thinking and the needle started to wiggle, and he had this smirk on his face.  The student asked him what it was, Yogi burst out laughing and said  &quot;Hell yah I wanted to get out.&quot;  &quot;The damn airplane was on fire!!!&quot;

He was a USAF fighter pilot in Korea.  

Marcie seemed quiet when I knew her.  I worked with her some but I think she was auditing on 7 and she was flummoxed or something.]]></description>

Think it would come from RTC. Dave no doubt rants snd raves about how everyone attacks him and nobody defends him. Then someone like Warren McShane issues orders to do something to apply “Simon Bolivar”]]></description>
