Captain Miscavige Blast from the Past

October 30, 2022 By Mike Rinder 15 Comments

Not had a lot of time to do anything with the blog in the last few days, so this one is a bit of nostalgia for the scientology history buffs. Someone forwarded me a copy of this issue, written in 2001 by Captain David Miscavige. Oh, what drama. The hype in this issue is something to behold. "literally about the destruction of the Church as a whole," "horrifying suppression" "machine gun-toting police" "imprisonment of many Scientologists in dungeons," For the record, Spanish police raided an IAS event in 1988 where Heber Jentzsch was speaking (back then, big names in scientology … [Read more...]

Where’s Waldo?

July 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

  While Miscavige and the scientology organizations pretend they have no idea where Captain Miscavige is when it comes time to face the music in court, they are making a very big deal about him being right there at the Ft Harrison delivering briefings ever Friday night. "Talk about a Flag exclusive!" Dear Leader has been lapping up the adoration at Flag graduation each week, and Flag wants everyone to know. They devoted an entire, large format mailing piece exclusively to make his presence known. The ridiculous statements on the last page are clear evidence of the brainwashed … [Read more...]

Blowing More Smoke Captain Miscavige’s Way

May 3, 2022 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

I recently posted about the sycophants gushing over Captain Miscavige. Here is another one. In celebration of his birthday on Saturday, the brown-nosers at the Stand League sent out this tweet (not a word these days from Fast Eddie Parkin -- he was so righteously right, but I guess not good enough in the end and now scrubbing dumpsters somewhere): Obviously, as the celebrations for Ron's Birthday are on the decline in terms of importance and attendance, Captain Dave is taking Source's place. The official propaganda organ of scientology is tweeting out about how it's a "privilege" to … [Read more...]

Blowing Smoke at Captain Miscavige

April 27, 2022 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

Below is a posting from a scientologist on Facebook. It's a rather bizarre photo of Captain Miscavige on the bridge of the Freewinds, dressed in a business suit (where is his fancy Captain uniform?), overseeing his domain. Probably intended to communicate his "forward looking vision for the future" or something. At least in his mind. In reality, he looks utterly out of place and fake. The FB poster puts underneath his photo, a quote from Hubbard. As if these two things go together. Dear Leader Captain Dave is the embodiment of the solution to "Man's lack of skill in politics, … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

April 21, 2022 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

  Plenty of good laughs this week... Experience Your Own? Just by going to graduation? The thrill of fruit...     Grammar fail Greg and Elizabeth has achieved.... Yo, Dave. When is the Golden Age of KTL coming?   The Power of Canada! On display with the CO FSSO and Jim Meskimen? Attend live in your local org? A "live" zoom call? This is definitely going to make the whole country ideal... There are still orgs in Canada that after 20 years have gone nowhere -- Calgary, Edmonton. Let alone Toronto and they didn't even need to buy a … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Ridiculous Claims of “Expansion”

April 20, 2022 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

Captain Miscavige regales his sheeple with over-the-top claims of "unprecedented expansion" at every event he holds. The flowery Shermanspeak pours forth and the adoring crowds eat it up. They don't ever seem to remember what was said in the previous event, let alone last year or 5 years ago. If they kept track of the claims they would quickly realize they are utterly ridiculous. Over the years, numerous countries have "fully adopted LRH tech" and the military of literally dozens of nations have "embraced the Way to Happiness" and international corporations are "now operating on the LRH … [Read more...]

Captain Miscavige Wowed ‘Em…

March 23, 2022 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

Captain Miscavige made a rare public appearance to deliver the LRH Birthday Game celebration at Flag! Hip-hip-hooray. Here is a description of the momentous occasion provided by the FSC EUS Office. My commentary is in red.   On Sunday March 13th Flag held live LRH B Day celebration event! It is available at Flag to see it in full, but here is a flavor of it: COB walked on to endless cheering, whistling and a LONG standing ovation that must have been heard for miles around!! He has missed the adoring sheeple who believe he is "doing what Ron wants," the poor deluded … [Read more...]

Mr. Self Importance

October 20, 2021 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

Captain Dave the Hermit, isolated in his Truman Show world, is steadily becoming more unhinged. The image of the letter below was posted on Facebook. To begin, apparently he thinks a letter from himself is something of a work of art, all fancied up like one of those dime-a-dozen proclamations Mayors hand out.  I can't really tell if that image inside the "D" is supposed to represent an outline of his profile and bouffant? Whatever, it's pretentious any way you cut it. Like this is some great work of art. Then there is the "substance" of the letter itself. Mr. Know-It-All as put … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
