David Wilson Never Disappoints

November 6, 2013 By Mike Rinder 111 Comments

This guy, apparently an “OT VIII” has lost his marbles.

He is a complete wackjob. Certifiable.

And yet he sits in the front row of Voldemort events and has his photo taken being presented with his status “trophies.” 

It just proves once again that Scientology exclusively confers status on those that give the most money. It is the ONLY criteria by which anyone is judged.

Gordon Gecko would be proud.

Honestly, this is kind of uncomfortable to watch.

Shakespeare revisited.

How the bard might have chronicled Clearing California

In the new civilization the arts will flourish and our exploits will be dramatized by 
famous writers. In fact some of us may see similarities in our heroic ventures to 
events that have been immortalized by Shakespeare:

 wilsonphoto

Caesar’s wife Calpurnia: “Please. Please Caesar! Don’t go to the fund raiser this 
evening, I had a dream that you would give all our money away.”

 

Caesar: “I cannot avoid events whose ends are purposed by the mighty Gods! 
We shall go forth”

 

Calpurnia: “When beggars gift towards the Ideal Org there are no comets seen. 
The heaven’s themselves blaze forth when a Humaniterian is made. But yet I fear 
we’ll die if we give any more money to this noble cause.

 

Caesar: “Cowards die many times before their deaths. The Valiant taste of death 
but once and there is no death by registration. Of all the wonders I have seen an 
Ideal org is most worthy of our support.”

 

Enter servant returned from an augury*.

 

Caesar: “What say the augurers?”

 

Servant: “The Augurers want you move up to your next status! They say it would 
more befit your station to be a Gold Humanitarian. They see no dangers in this day!”

 

Caesar: “Caesar shall go forth for Danger knows full well that Caesar is more 
dangerous than he. We are like two lions littered in one day and I the older and 
more terrible!”

 

Enter Decius, Brutus, Casius and many other “Senators” (OTs, Clears and PCs from 
the Valley Field)

 

All: “We have come to join you at the ideal org fund raiser.”

 

And of course the rest of the play goes into how Caesar helped convince 100 
fellow members of the field become Humanitarians as was their destiny.

 

A new Civilization awaits! Manifest your destiny and go to our next Fundraiser!

 

* Prediction of the future by examining the entrails of a sacrifice.

    Incidentally, since my avatar is Gordon Gekko, and I am a certified, SEC licensed card-carrying capitalist, I can say that Gordon would be proud of many things that people accomplish in their quest for wealth and glory. He would, however, be frightfully embarrassed to see this astonishing work of cultural buggery from a ham-handed amateur like David Wilson. He would run from meeting Mr. Wilson like an altar boy from a pedophile.

    I feel confident in saying that if Mr. Gekko felt a parody of Shakespeare were appropriate to communicate with his friends and/or business associates, he would hire someone like Pulitzer-prize winning Shakespeare critic Stephen Greenblatt of Harvard University, perhaps the world’s foremost living Shakespeare expert, to write something that better captures the subtlety and brilliance of Shakespeare’s original words.

    David Wilson has taken it upon himself to enlighten what is in his mind, his “public”. I think he considers himself to be far above the rest of us, in need of his pearls of wisdom.
    He demonstrates that he is out of touch with people in general and has no common sense; completely socially backward.
    I have met him a few times and personally found him to be very conservative and rather standoffish. It was a social situation and he basically sat back in his chair and made no attempt to reach anyone in the room for the entire evening. Maybe we just weren’t up to his “level of IQ”.

    He needs to review his Shakespeare, particularly “Julius Caesar”.

    After the painful perversion of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar I was so nauseated that I missed the major out point which is that they are going to have some event at the future site of this “Valley Ideal Org” which is in *NoHo* which isn’t really considered part of the “Valley”.

    Methinks Wilson doth approach an insanity point, where his postulates will flip from ‘must give money’ to ‘must not give money’. Hence the ambivalence of this missive, which I did at first mistake for one of OTVIIIisGrrr8’s merry jests.

    The Clear California Crusade isn’t doing very well. Occasionally one might drive through the wrong part of Hollywood and pass the Celebrity Center, Big Blue (Martian Embassy), or some other embarrassment, but otherwise the Scilons are nearly invisible (except on these blogs). Once in the last five years I saw a table set up near one of the beaches and manned by two people, one old, the other elderly (and neither looking very healthy). There is no Crusade, no awareness, no marketing of any sort, even in LA.

    This has made me wonder: is there anywhere else on planet Earth you can get communications like this? Politicians, perhaps? Is there any (non-fundamentalist) church or corporation with a similar output?

    Actually it’s funny that Wilson would use Caesar as a representation of your average “Humanitarian” supporter. An epileptic megalomanic with delusions of godhood who had his buddy Mark Antony kill off any opposition to his rule and ended up being assassinated by his own Senate because he thought he was immortal and refused heed the warning to “beware the ides of March”.

    But ya know “I come not to praise Caesar but to bury him.”

    A more appropriate quote Marullus after Caesar’s defeat over Pompey would be the following:

    Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
    What tributaries follow him to Rome,
    To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
    You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
    O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
    Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
    Have you climb’d up to walls and battlements,
    To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
    Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
    The livelong day, with patient expectation,
    To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
    And when you saw his chariot but appear,
    Have you not made an universal shout,
    That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
    To hear the replication of your sounds
    Made in her concave shores?
    And do you now put on your best attire?
    And do you now cull out a holiday?
    And do you now strew flowers in his way
    That comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood? Be gone!
    Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
    Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
    That needs must light on this ingratitude.

    Especially the “You Blocks you stones…..part.

    Wow. As is often the case with these Scientology missives, the author chooses a completely inappropriate allegory to convey his message, which, in this instance, is the nobility of contributing to the Valley Ideal Org and enhancing one’s IAS status.

    These emails are generally littered with grammatical and sentence structure errors as well as the author’s aforementioned sub-90 IQ understanding of the allegory or metaphor used.

    In his narrative, Wilson has Caesar brush off Calpurnia’s fears and head triumphantly to the IAS fundraiser. Shakespeare’s Caesar likewise strode headstrong to the Senate.

    Well, we all (with the apparent exception of David Wilson) know what happened to Caesar on the Senate floor, and the same will happen to Wilson’s Caesar at the IAS event.

    The only difference is that Caesar was stabbed in the back; Miscavige and his Regges look their vicitms in the eye while gutting them.

    I despise the fact that these people now openly admit how harmful this crush regging is. And yet they still keep begging for their extravagant empty buildings. “Give until it hurts, we know you are hurting and your credit and family life are being destroyed, we can’t even pretend that’s not happening anymore, but be a big being and keep on giving. You’re a big being, not a CI DB, right?”

    Sometimes I think “the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics” is the most evil, harmful, toxic, misapplied idea to come out of Scientology.

      Dirk — I think it is right up there at the top of the list. Because, to a fundamentalist Scientologist, the “held down 7” is that the 3rd dynamic counts for EIGHT. The church is ultimately the salvation of all individuals, families, groups, mankind etc etc and thus, the only REAL equation ever applied by a “true” Scientologist is “what is good for the church.”

I submit that the REALEST statement of the equation is “what David Miscavige says is good for the Church.”

        But guys….this is a FALSE DATUM. The greatest good calculation should be made, from the individual being’s personal point of view, of their own track, personality, priorities and time frame. When it’s done with full respect and no eval, a person can really make good decisions and forward their life, on their own terms. This is the tech I know and applied, to wonderful results. The core philosophy, does not include this radicalization, of demanding everyone live the same way, from the same viewpoint. This is so obviously insane. It’s directly opposed (reversal) to the original intention of Scn which is FREEDOM. I know many, have suffered greatly from this malpractice, I have repaired the damage. The fundamentalist’s narrow viewpoint is a product of radical scn, but this is antipathetic to the auditor’s point of view, which is 100% granting of beingness.

    And it came to pass that the IAS Regges Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus and sixty other regges from Flag, Super Power, CCHR, CSRT, CSI, BPI, RTC, CST, WISE, ABLE, FSO, the Ship — and even Joe who was regging for the Pacific Events Center, fell upon Caesar and began stabbing his bank account and other assets to death.

    And as Caesar’s finances were being stabbed to death, Emperor David Miscavige appeared and thrust in the fatal knife whereupon Caesar said, “Et tu, Dave?”

    And Emperor Miscavige said, “I want your gold teeth after you drop your body, and, I just declared your stupid wife Calpurnia for being CI to my greatness!”

    But aren’t you an OT VIII? Are you calling yourself a whackjob?

    *EVERYTHING* you complain about Miscavige’s rule was present during Hubbard’s time. You are acting like a good cult member, pretending that Hubbard was good but Miscavige is bad. Read the truth about Hubbard and the cult during his rule!

    Family disconnection? LRH disconnected from L Ron Hubbard, Jr!!! Disconnection is NOT an invention of Miscavige.

    Abuse of children? 12-year-olds worked 100 hour weeks, serving Hubbard as Messengers on the Apollo.

    Lying, cheating, stealing in the service of the cult? Very prominent during the time of Hubbard. Operation Snow White and the abuse of P. Goddard, for example.

    Money hungry exploitation of Scientology members? Pioneered by Hubbard!! The goal of Scientology, according to L.Ron Hubbard: MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHERS PRODUCE AS TO MAKE MONEY. (1972 letter)

    Physical abuse of staff members for petty infractions? Hubbard sent out orders to hit certain people who displeased him!

    Good luck to you in truly pulling away from the cult of Hubbard; you have a long way to go to become a thinking human being with normal compassion and empathy. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ve gotten there – your writing shows clearly you have a LONG path ahead.

      You are fighting the wrong “enemy.”

      Just to correct your faulty assumptions.

      No, I am not an OT VIII.

      No, I am not calling anyone other than David Wilson a wackjob.

      I guarantee you I know more about Hubbard than you do, having read every negative book about him, seen every documentary about him, having read all his personal papers and actually having met the man. What truth are you so certain I am lacking?

      Who said Disconnection is an invention of Miscavige? Not me, that’s for sure.

      Did someone tell you I have claimed there was no lying, cheating or stealing in the time of Hubbard? Or no money hungry exploitation. You need to read the entire quote you cite, clearly you have not done so but simply taken this out of some other report. You will find that quote concerns the actions one must take in a bankrupt organization — Hubbard never considered any Scientology organization would be bankrupt. Nor does it state it is the “entire goal of the organization.”

      I can tell you one instance I know of Hubbard striking someone personally (Gary Wiese). I can tell you a thousand instances of Miscavige doing so.

      Lastly, apart from posting anonymously here, what are you doing about ending the abuses of the cult?

      You’re a troll, and you obviously haven’t read this blog and are totally unfamiliar with what Mike has had to say over the past few years.

      If you had read anything, you’d know that he is very fair in his criticism of Hubbard and of the church as a whole. To me it seems that his goal on this blog is to help open people’s eyes to what is happening in the church today, so that is what his posts are about.

      I have never read a post or thread here exalting LRH as some sort of perfect saint. Everyone knows he created many policies and procedures that led to very negative consequences today. But this blog has a different purpose.

      I suspect you are a “never-in.” So am I. But, I watch what is happening and study how Scientology is developing, ask questions, and try to have an understanding attitude. Your haranguing and ignorant approach won’t get you anywhere, especially when it is clear that you have no idea what you are talking about.

    Mike, while this subject has already been covered yesterday I would like to post this for any locals who may read this blog.

    In regards to Scientology submitting a last minute request for street closures for the super power bldg etc. I would like to make local readers aware that emails are a nice gesture to voice your concerns. However having worked in government you will then probably receive a standard email response from an Administrative Assistant.

    There is nothing more Powerful then a Phone call to the city and speaking with either the Mayor, City Manager or City Counsel person. Being in government phone calls show that a local citizen is taking the time to call and voice their concerns. A government agency is not going to ask you all sorts of personal information. Usually just giving a first name will get you transferred and speaking with official you desire to talk to at an agency.

    Should you desire to call this list below might be on your mind;
    1. Tree’s chopped down, With No Permit or Contact. Cos just paid a $2500 fine
    2. KSW sign put up no Contact until Fire Marshall shut them down. Then contact was made, after being told to take the sign down COS is refusing to remove the sign or Contact the city
    3. Last Minute request for Street Closures, prior Conduct no Contact.
    4. Also asking now for the City of Clearwater to remove Traffic Signals. Est cost a couple $100K, Cos has said they will reimburse the city. However their prior conduct makes that statement questionable in my opinion.
    5. With all of these prior occurrences of Cos conduct and their refusal to contact the city unless they are backed up against a wall. Why would the City of Clearwater give them an Expedited Permit for anything?

    So if you are a local you might consider making a call you can even *67(Caller Id Block). This is of no concern to a government agency.

    City of Clearwater contact number Mayor, City Manager-727-562-4050
    City Council 727-562-4042

    Well this is just an Fyi some people are just not aware of the most effective means to contact a government agency.

    The idiot forgets that Caesar was assassinated because Cassius and Brutus felt he was becoming a dictator (hmm, there’s an analogy). Yes, the poets will chronicle “the clearing of California” along with the COS and its other endeavors and practices with the same perception that Shelley wrote “Ozymandias”. Using Shakespeare to promote fund raising sets the high mark for a new low. UGH!

    Wow – if these poor people knew where their money was spent – it would be almost too much for them.

    David Miscavige’s lifestyle of the “rich and not-so-famous, except by the clubbed seals”, not to mention his voracious appetite for John Lobb shoes, tanning beds, personal in-house gyms only for his majesty, personal chefs preparing 10 meals each day so COB has a “choice”, 6 figure income, money to take care of his SP family that left the “church”, huge villas and mansions to live in, Jets, Range Rovers, BMW’s, Italian suits plus an unlimited Billion dollar bank account to write checks to pay attorney’s and private investigator’s to harass anyone who may disclose his “crimes”….

    It truly is sad and pathetic!! I actually feel sad for these people still in and going down with the ship!

    evening, I had a dream that you would give all our money away.”

    News flash, that is reality, The idea that status means anything to anyone other than Miscabige or that that ideal orgs are needed or wanted is the dream. Living a nightmare while you are dreaming. This guy really is nuts.

    He should listen to his wife. Or she should divorce him before he gives away all their money. At least she would have something to live on that way.

    Well, well, well…this is worse than anybody thought.

    Calpurnia is probably David’s wife and she is right, he will give all their money away.

    An OT VIII that, after 150 of objectives, has been sent to the past, is stuck in grandeur and has no more Reality of present time. Boy, what a product!!! And it counted as a stat…

    However, something matches the PT scene: Caesar, indicating the times of extreme decadence on the Roman Empire, treachery all around and lots of politics dealing only with lies.

    It matches the Church exactly-a leader who is decadent beyond belief and that is driving ‘the empire’ to a collapse and one who only deals with lies and abuses. And as the Roman Empire did, he also will collapse.

    “When beggars gift towards the Ideal Org there are no comets seen.
    The heaven’s themselves blaze forth when a Humaniterian is made. But yet I fear
    we’ll die if we give any more money to this noble cause.”

    a. Beggars gift? Can’t even spell the status of HumanitErian? and um yeah, you’re going to die if you keep giving away money to the cause. You got that part right.

    “Cowards die many times before their deaths. The Valiant taste of death
    but once and there is no death by registration. Of all the wonders I have seen an
    Ideal org is most worthy of our support.”

    Wow. Just. Wow. There. Is. No. Death. By. Registration.

    Here’s a little something for David Wilson, from Stefan George (not Georg, sorry). The narrator is clearly an earlier avatar of Dave Miscavige.

    The Antichrist (excerpt)

    O could you but hear it, at midnight my laugh:
    My hour is striking; come step in my trap;
    Now into my net stream the fishes.

    I’ll do for you everything heaven can do.
    A hair-breadth is lacking – your gape too confused
    To sense that your senses are stricken.

    I make it all facile, the rare and the earned;
    Here’s something like gold (I create it from dirt)
    And something like scent, sap, and spices –

    And what the great prophet himself never dared:
    The art without sowing to reap out of air
    The powers still lying fallow.

    The Lord of the Flies is expanding his Reich;
    All treasures, all blessings are swelling his might . . .
    Down, down with the handful who doubt him!

    Cheer louder, you dupes of the ambush of hell;
    What’s left of life-essence, you squander its spells
    And only on doomsday feel paupered.

    You’ll hang out your tongues, but the trough has been drained;
    You’ll panic like cattle whose farm is ablaze . . .
    And dreadful the blast of the trumpet.

    The drawing in the “Clearing California” artwork looks a lot like the “Black Knight” in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll recall what happens to him. If you haven’t seen the movie, here’s the scene.

    “Big Tone Raiser Event” — one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works, but I’m sure this modern staging will wow them at the Ideal Globe.

    You could pity this Wilson person if he weren’t such an utter cad. He’s up to “Blog #26” and obviously has written himself dry. So he’s doing what many blocked writers do, looking back to the classics for inspiration, finding none, but going with it anyway, because he’s got nothing else. He might have better luck next time with the Germans: Goethe, Nietzsche, but especially Stefan Georg. Maybe I’ll send him some notes. Really we need a better class of begging up in here.
