For many years, the German Government have cited the fact that scientology wants to create "superhumans" as a major concern and threat to their constitution based on the history of Nazis plans for a "master race" consisting of Übermensch. (From Wikipedia: The term Übermensch was used frequently by Hitler and the Nazi regime to describe their idea of a biologically superior Aryan or Germanic master race; a racial version of Nietzsche's Übermensch became a philosophical foundation for Nazi ideas. The Nazi notion of the master race also spawned the idea of "inferior humans" (Untermensche … [Read more...]
More Miscavige Brown-nosing
These self-promotion tweets are so desperate. Miscavige is pleading: "please everyone, don't think I am a bad man. Look what these other people [sheeple caught in the scientology mind prison] say about me. The bad stuff is all lies, made up by people who want to destroy me." How can he not be embarrassed to put this foolishness out into the world? It’s hard to imagine until you remember, sociopaths have no conscience. They don't feel shame or guilt or embarrassment. They will tell the world how wonderful, kind, smart, brave, superior etc etc they are without a second thought. They b … [Read more...]
I Would Follow David Miscavige Anywhere
Lizzie (daughter of David and Sheila Gaiman, sister to Neil Gaiman) is a hard-core scientology true believer. Miscavige must really be feeling the heat -- re-airing the "Turning Point" 1993 IRS event video all over the world and churning out things like this from from his "Leader of the Scientology Religion" X account. Caught inside the bubble of his own adulation, he does not even recognize how incredibly culty a statement like this is. "I would follow David Miscavige absolutely anywhere to the end of the world." Jim Jones? David Koresh? Marshall Applewhite? Ring any bells? … [Read more...]
It’s Deja Vu All Over Again
When things are looking grim, the go-to "handling" is to re-show this event from 30 YEARS ago. I wonder if we are going to see this showing up in other orgs too, as in the past it has been a blanket order to get all orgs to re-air this old video of Dear Leader's finest hour (the tag line on the poster is "contact your org for more information."). Orders to show this video yet again are a sign that Miscavige is feeling attacked and in his mind nobody is defending him and he has to do it all himself. In the intervening 30 year of his reign, virtually nothing of significance has been … [Read more...]
David Miscavige is a Genius — and Humble Too
In a posting on social media that does not appear to be a parody account (it is promoting his website), Miscavige calls HIMSELF a genius. Of course, it's couched in terms of what "other people say" (about me). He "redefined the term religious leader"? I don't think the redefinition is anything to crow about. A religious leader who disappeared his wife? Who has lorded over a real estate empire of expensive empty buildings masquerading as “churches”? Who has spent tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars harassing and seeking to destroy those who say things he doesn't like? T … [Read more...]
Kissing David Miscavige’s Butt
This is one of the recent press releases put out by scientology. That they're not embarrassed to have this appear anywhere says a great deal about just how much of a cult scientology is. The only comparison to this drooling idiocy is the fawning supplication of the poor people of N. Korea who fall over themselves to praise Dear Leader Kim Jong Un. Scientologists these days fall over one another to praise their Dear Leader -- for "saving the tech in it's purest form" (while he has completely decimated it), as a "get humanitarian leader" (which overseeing one of the … [Read more...]
Training Under LRH — The Legacy of David Miscavige
Well, this should be interesting. A talk, at St Hill, about what it was like training under Ron. Do you think the "legendary" John Parselle (interesting side note -- he signed me up for the Sea Org when he had been sent to Australia as a Tours Reg in 1973, he was never a posted auditor again) will mention the elephant in the room? The "training under Ron" that John participated in was perhaps the Briefing Course and definitely the Class VIII course on board the Apollo. NEITHER OF THESE COURSES ARE AVAILABLE IN SCIENTOLOGY TODAY. The two auditor courses that Hubbard declared … [Read more...]
Dear Leader(s)
Watch this short video here. Anyone who has ever attended a scientology event featuring David Miscavige will find these short videos eerily familiar. The blind, over-the-top adulation. The fear of being identified as someone who is not enthusiastic enough in their praise for the Dear Leader. In N. Korea this might result in being sent to a prison camp. In scientology it’s a minimum trip to the ethics department for an expensive attitude adjustment program — or as happened to me, assignment to clean the bilges on the Freewinds . That was because an announcement failed to elicit a standing ova … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Ribbon Yanking Spectacles Resume
Now that David Miscavige is no longer playing hide and seek with Leah Remini's legal team, he has resumed his duties as chief ribbon yanker. Tony Ortega has an article today on his blog about Austin ribbon yanking shaping up for the 24th. We now have confirmation with an official promotional piece. He wondered about Chicago and the Facebook post above from last evening indicates this may in fact be happening today (or this could be a long bus ride they are on and it will be next weekend). Mr. Mickiewicz needs to pack long underwear as it's going to be very chilly in the Windy City … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Accepts Service in Leah Remini Lawsuit
This has never happened before. After reading the tentative ruling from Judge Hammock that eviscerated Miscavige for playing games with the system, his lawyers agreed to accept service on his behalf, thus making the scheduled hearing moot and preventing the judge from entering a final order. Had Judge Hammock stuck with his tentative ruling and signed it, his order would have been catastrophic in other cases. Even without his final order, the fact that Miscavige was adjudicated to have been served in the Baxter/Paris case and has now accepted service in Leah’s case is going to make it very d … [Read more...]
