This is the closing address from David Miscavige at the last IAS event, now transcribed and preserved for eternity as all pronouncements from Dear Leader must be.
He is becoming a parody of himself — and the speed of his descent into a character right out of a “Funny or Die” skit or the next Will Farrell movie appears to be accelerating.
Even the photos he is selecting for photoshopping are getting stranger. He has almost perfected the Ron Burgundy sneer of superiority.
Either those gold buttons are getting bigger or he is shrinking….
A few memorable shermanspeak diamonds in here that are pulled out for only the most hallowed occasions — when the pitch to fork over cash reaches its peak. And there is nothing that exceeds the pinnacle of the sacrament of the “church of scientology” — COB’s “closing remarks” at the International IAS Event. This is the Easter Mass of scientology.
A mere half page of scrambled word salad for this august occasion qualified for no less than 5 trademark Shermanspeak sentence openers:
In point of fact…
Ergo…
While, in full and all told…
But, even so and only with…
While overall and in totality,…
But notwithstanding that, and given the importance of the occasion, not to mention the significance of the event and the whole track historical magnificence of the location, the flowery shermanspeak bloomed like orchids in the rainforest, signalling to one and all that a Gettysburg II was upon them. A truly earth-shaking moment that literally flipped the universe and collapsed the time track, punctuated with these fevered expressions:
We are the rock & fortress of humanity…
…you are witnessing a space-time continuum where clocks stand still…
…a panorama of expansion to the far horizon and it can only be described as breathtaking.
…we are everywhere and everyone.
I do so from a grand perspective…
…a significant donation is all that stands between a great void where souls are lost forever and a message to billions…
Phew. This gives new meaning to the term “purple prose.”*
In fact, it is pompous purple prose.
Apparently Miscavige has become so blind to the outside world that he does not even realized how arrogant he sounds. Or maybe he does, and he just doesn’t care: because the sheeple would not dare do anything but lick his toe jam, and the non-sheeple are just “wogs” and their opinion doesn’t count.
* From Wikipediea: In literary criticism, purple prose is written prose that is so extravagant, ornate, or flowery as to break the flow and draw excessive attention to itself.
If you are omnipotent, or even semipotent, I suggest you take that welcome to scientology with a grain of salt. Your degree of potency directly correlates with your odds of getting into the RPF.
On other fronts, is it me, or is the esteemed COB looking not-so-good? Yes, we’re all getting older, but this guy looks not healthy.
I think he’s trying to work up the nerve to rick-roll the audience.

“Never gonna give you up…”
Outside of Lil Davey’s Purple Prose-Bolstered Bubble, the world still turns, the masses of people go here and there about their daily lives, the sun rises and sets —- all completely oblivious to the supposed achievements of Scientology and all the fundraising and all the building “expansions” and the daily toil of Davey’s Minions to “Save Humanity” and “Clear the Planet”….what utter ARROGANCE is stuffed into that dimunitive gold-buttoned Tux of his!
Like It was mentioned, Davey the Lilliputian does not even notice how utterly arrogant and unimportant he and his movement have become in the grand scheme of the world. And his “word salad” mishmash of superlatives and Kool Aid-drenched vocabulary clearly show that he’s NO “advanced” human being —the Little Dweeb can’t even string together coherent sentences! So much for him being the Ultimate Example of what Scientology can make of a human being…he’s a stark raving lunatic.
I am stunned that people can still fork over cash to this charlatan. The world will keep spinning and Humanity will be just fine without him and his cash-raising.
Wow. Getting through one of these speeches is like an Olympic event. Years of training required to be mentally limber enough to survive the verbal twists and turns that forces illogic into such compromising and uncomfortable positions.
I think I pulled a muscle!
Odd
I think the photo is another example of Miscavige falling for “looks good on paper”. Very podium, such bling… But the thing must be huge! It makes him look like he’s about four feet tall.
Surely some trick could be done, build the stage in forced perspective or something. All else failing, have two “identical” podiums on opposite sides of the stage but the one for COB is actually a little smaller than the one for everyone else.
(Switching podiums would work better, if there were an excuse to repeatedly move the podium on and off stage – just once would be too suspicious.)
Also I know SO who were woken up at 12 midnight or 1 in the am to be regged if they had money. It was shameless to come to someone who isn’t getting enough sleep anyway and reg them all night until they succumbed just to get some sleep.
If you could find the reference that says Sea Org are not to be regged then that would be useful. I remember when I provisionally agreed to join staff at London then this was said to me, though a reference was not shown to me. It just seemed logical to me that those who gave so generously of their time should never be regged.
The reference is not BPI. It was for staff only and was a Flag order or an OOD (Orders of the Day). It was on my EPF Checksheet to read that. I read it, copied it word for word (cuz it was short), and wrote the name and date of the reference and then showed it to the several SO Higher UP’s who tried to reg me for money. It made them mad that I would not cooperate and they ignored the LRH reference on it. And this was back in 2007, so it probably has gotten worse now. I wouldn’t be surprised if DM took that reference out of the EPF Course Packs so that they could reg SO for money.
Are sea org staff regged to maintain a particular ias status?
What ias status is dear leader?
If they have money they are. You see the ones that have either gotten an inheritance, or are big regges who have money to reach certain statuses.
Miscavige is above all that sort of silliness. That is for the small thetans. His IAS status is Dear Leader.
When you’re the Pope you rule all the dopes.
Mike, having SO make ANY donations is against a specific LRH reference. When I was on the EPF, part of our course pack was to read the reference that no SO member can be regged for donations. The reason is they are giving of their time and blood, sweat, and tears, so they cannot also be regged for money. It was a Sea Org ED or OOD or something like that. I had just gotten my divorce settlement and the EPF Sr and MAA descended on me like vultures to reg that money away for a donation. I showed them the LRH reference. They ignored it and kept on. And they passed me over to a “top reg” to break me. Again I showed him the reference and he ignored it and regged me anyway. So the church doesn’t even follow its own scripture. Examples of this abound.
I don’t think ‘fact’ means what he thinks it means.
This is what you get without formal education, but only Scientology education.
I think I detect a hint of desperation in the statement “No, we are not slowing down” like it is the answer to a question asked by several whales (whose wealth dictates he must listed to them) that goes along the lines of “We have given you hundreds of millions of dollars in total so why do we appear to be slowing down? Where is this promised expansion that we have paid for? We have yet to see positive results!”.
They’d each have a whale of a time in ethics.
Their wealth puts them above ethics. Their wealth gives them “the rank” to talk down to the wheezing-dwarf Führer. They will have complained that they have handed over, collectively, a couple of hundred million dollars of REAL money and in return have been shown a weak piece of IMAGINARY expansion – a few new Ideal Orgs that new public wouldn’t even dream of entering. Anybody else would have done better no matter what they were selling, given that kind of financial support that never has to be paid back. Dwarf-boy is on the spot. He will be losing the support of many of the whales in 2015. He had better keep Duggan sweet or the whole movement is doomed.

Ugh.
Which begs the question:
Penurious Pope Pompadour Pronounced a Passel of Pompous Purple Prose.
A Passel of Pompous Purple Prose did Penurious Pope Pompadour Pronounce.
If Penurious Pope Pompadour Pronounced a Passel of Pompous Purple Prose,
How Much Pompous Purple Prose did Pompous Pope Pompadour Pronounce?
If pompous popester picked a peck of pickled patrons, how many pecks of pickled patrons would pompous popester pick?
Nah Michael, the only one pickled in this phrase would be the pompadour pope prattling pompous purple prose. (The rest just wish they were).
LOL, very clever!
who would be a poor man, a beggar man, a thief,
if he could have Sherman write him a speech?
and who would steal the candy
from a laughing baby’s mouth
if he could be a blood sucking leech?
double cross david goes jumping in again
he signs no contracts but always plays the game.
he dines at his homestead on expense accounted food
while his jack knife barbers dice up the caved in fools
laughing in his compound, gets his kicks from a copper pole
while all the Operating Thetans do as they are told
but often times his attention is drawn by some SPs
who watch through the railings as he plays
double cross david finds it hard to get along
he’s a rich man stealer but his soul is sad and poor
as he knows his kingdom is but a large cell with a locked door.
“He has almost perfected the Ron Burgundy sneer of superiority.”
The first 3 times I read that sentence, I saw “sneer of stupidity.”
Sneer of avidity.
Fleet Admiral Miscavige’s usual IAS prattle has suddenly morphed into mystical-babble.
The Fleet Admiral’s latest reads like he is freewheeling through his Narcissism Implant while awash in unhandled NOT’s case:
“We are everywhere and everyone.”
Okay, but let me ask you this Mr. Everywhere and Everyone: If you are omnipresent then why are your Ideal Orgs empty? Are you being everywhere and everyone except in your Ideal Orgs?
“You are witnessing a space-time continuum where clocks stand still.”
Clocks standing still is actually a Speed of Light thing, but one can’t possibly expect a tenth grade drop out to understand physics. The Fleet Admiral is only interested in making more money so he can purchase ever bigger buildings in which to encase the purity of empty space.
“…a significant donation is all that stands between a great void where souls are lost forever and a message to billions…”
Richie Acunto made a significant donation to the IAS and thereafter fell into the Void of Bankruptcy. No souls were saved as a result of Richie’s $10,000,000 IAS donation. However, that $10,000,000 has allowed Fleet Admiral Miscavige’s Massive Armada of Wog Lawyers to have a very Merry Christmases and Happy Hanukkahs for decades now!
Next year’s IAS speech will be given in a maximum security prison cell or insane asylum padded room. The best thing about it will be that no one will have to hear it but him. 2015 is mini-man’s Armageddon. Dan Sherman is already working on how to one-up this 2014 speech.
I’m currently reading Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A Guide and Map for Recovering from Childhood Trauma.
What is remarkable is how often the author mentions being in a CULT can create THE SAME trauma as childhood abuse and other forms of PTSD.
Of course not everyone who was ever “in” suffers from PTSD. However, I would guess that most who spent any amount of time have “some” residue trauma.
dm himself is in SERIOUS trouble. His perm proves it (joke) He IS aging badly. He is not yet 55 years old and should be looking MUCH better. Considering that he does not have to worry about what we mere mortals must worry about. Jobs. Housing. Food. Raising healthy children etc …
Squirrel comments above:
“For me, it’s nice to see a community of people who were sold a bad bill of goods, come together and cry/laugh over the strangeness of it all. Even though it wasn’t Scientology, the thing we all have in common as survivors of a cult is the friggin strangeness of it all. Nobody who hasn’t been in it will understand. No one still in it will dare to understand. It’s only the ones who ask questions that are cast out. I’m just glad you found each other.”
Yes, we are a community with common trauma. And certainly UNLESS you’ve experienced scientology and it’s mind set … it’s just IMPOSSIBLE to understand.
Try talking to your neighbor and explaining the Sea Org, Scientology and why you aren’t REALLY bat-shit crazy to have been involved.
They will nod knowingly and somewhat sympathetically but probably thinking … yeah right.
Wait til the HCO documentary comes out. As well done as it no doubt will be … it will really only make sense to US and only obliquely to others.
Scientology cannot be understood from the side.
Windhorse
Very well said.
I don’t agree that you have to have been in scientology to truly understand it. In some ways people who have never been in scientology have a better ability to objectively evaluate emerging information.
The best way to put it might be that people have equal, but different, abilities to understand based on many factors, membership being only one factor and not the most important. Exscientologists need to put down their focus on being “unique” and realize that lots of people understand.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
“…a substantial contribution is an everlasting gesture and far more important than material wealth or social status.”
Is this code for: Sure, you forked over a few million Last week, you’re a big star in Hollywood This week, but what are you going to do for me Next week? I swear only Miscavige could shill the sheeple while simultaneously kicking them to the curb. It’s something to behold.
Sorry to say, I believe that COB is suffering from Grandiose Delusions! It is a condition caused by a………sssshhhhhhhhh…..a mental illness. Persons that suffer from this do not know it, but everyone else does. Someone call the men with the WHITE COATS, and place a 5150 on the poor delusional dolt.
Well he’s right about one thing, he is a rock.
NEWS FLASH!!!! Just got a hot, straight off the presses survey from Dan Sherman himself, who is already working on Dave’s next speech. Dan wants to know what I think of the ending ….. ” … and that these Sea Org members shall not have gone to the RPF in vain and that the IAS of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this sector of the universe.” Danny also wants to know if in the last speech “in point of actual fact” sounded better than “factually.” My reply to him? “It’s all good, baby, it’s all good.”
One thing he said that was true ….. production levels are supernatural all right! (they exist outside the physical universe …. get it?)
sorry: footstool
After reading that speech, I had to make a stool specimen.
After foregoing all self-betterment you ever hoped to achieve in Scientology and giving all your hard earned money to the IAS, you will have achieved the status of Patron Ignoramus.
Just remember that miss cabbage is standing on a 1-foot footstoll. minimum 😉
As a Scotsman, a grand contribution from me would be $13.75.
Wow OSD. I knew you surfed, but had no clue you were also a rich Scotsman!
and generous too!
With this kind of speech Dave is trying to be “interesting” which is a desire for the attention to flow in on him.
If he was a real leader his communication would move outward and through the audience and convey a message that showed his interest in them and their progress on the Bridge.
He is not really trying to communicate but instead is pulling admiration in his direction.
He has boundless ARC. For himself.
Yes, that craving for admiration and being interesting instead of interested is the mark of a Narcissist and a Sociopath.
KF
Good point!
He is being INTERESTING instead of being INTERESTED!
Greta
I…um…ok… So…..Er…..yeah.
IAS- Invent Another Status?
Invest Against Sanity?
Insert Another Shill?
I Adore Shermanspeak?
I read the closing speech to my cat. When I finished, the little furry critter pulled out a credit card!
Haven’t had such a head spin since that time I drank 10 Lattes in 10 minutes.
I look on in awesome humbleness as the L’il One projects himself fully into the space time continuum and marvel that one day soon he too will join the ranks of those who came before him to take his rightful place at the forefront of obscurity.
Those remarks are unreal – what a complete ass.
It seems to me that DM is being more and more unreal – There used to be a time when it could have sound a bit closer to reality or it would have seemed so. But now it’s like another world… a “would be” world.
“While in full and all told, it will make for a global spanning of the Bridge to carry the weight of whole continents.” … only if you make a SUBSTANTIAL DONATION (foregoing any real lifestyle, your family’s security, etc)… Twice gag me with a spoon. As Mike so eloquently suggests, this guy is off the cliff and doesn’t even realize it.
I had to remind myself that these speeches are not meant for the real world, these are for the internal herd. I almost think he’s getting tired of how easily he gets off robbing them blind and is now playing games with them – doing everything but forging a hot blazing SP on his forehead – to see how many he can provoke out of their comas.
We are the IAS
Delusional
Criminal &
Insane
David Miscavige looks old and tired. His face is weathered and even his tanning makeup is not helping him.
He looks like a tiny midget. His buttons look so big on his tiny, itsy bitty body and huge head.
What a monster. Who would have known that such a small man with the right amount of “no conscious empathy for others” could do so much damage to clubbed seals who seem to keep taking the abuse, the lies and the scam.
Thank you for keeping this blog. I am not, never have been a Scientologist, but I was an EST based, lock-down in 87-92 program called Straight (since shut down by board of health, reopened under various shells). Not the same thing, but RPF description is a familiar scenario,
I read this blog and follow this community because it gives me hope that someday large group awareness therapy (LGAT) will be recognized for what it is: the breaking down and “building up” of the person, the psyche, except it never should have been wiped out, and what it is replaced with is untenable in the real world. These are POW techniques.
If one chooses this therapy as an adult, then fine. If you pay 80k (in my situation) to do this to your kid, not fine.
I’m always happy to read the posts here: I wish we had something like it for Straight Survivors. We don’t, but I’m rooting for you all to someday maybe get your families back, maybe someday you’ll feel less watched, maybe someday you’ll see justice. As a non member I just hope you all know how important it is to have a place like this to share the sorrow, and the absurdity of it all. For me, it’s nice to see a community of people who were sold a bad bill of goods, come together and cry/laugh over the strangeness of it all. Even though it wasn’t Scientology, the thing we all have in common as survivors of a cult is the friggin strangeness of it all. Nobody who hasn’t been in it will understand. No one still in it will dare to understand. It’s only the ones who ask questions that are cast out. I’m just glad you found each other.
Thanks. Nice to hear from you and appreciate your comment.
I agree about the arrogance, of course, but for me it is not the overriding characteristic. That would be stupidity. More precisely saying incredibly stupid things in the most pompous way possible to try to come across as brilliant. All while achieving the exact opposite….
Rick you put it very well. How can people swallow this stuff and applaud for more? No wonder all the smart ex-sci s are on here not at the events.
Cannot, literally CANNOT BELIEVE the sheeple keep giving money!
Let’s see, if one were to concoct an actual salad that would represent the word salad tossed by chef Sherman (who actually could write English in a long past epoch), what would the ingredients be? So, with due respect to the following individual ingredients and the people who love them – an actual Shermanspeak word salad might contain: lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beef tartare, eel sashimi, raw oysters, strawberry jam,chocolate chunks,pistachio ice cream and peanut butter, tossed in a dressing of black bean sauce, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and topped with a great gob of whipped cream. Just the idea of putting this “salad” together was nauseous making, but not as nauseous making as reading the Sherman/Miscavige excerpts. Actually hearing them, I suspect, would provoke a full blown and sustained barf.
What an image 🙂
Kinda makes you long for rice and beans.
I think I’ll skip dinner.
Excellent culinary analogy Michael. Yuk! As a visual artist, I think of a fifty something, overweight prostitute, wearing pink satin hot pants, a toob top and fishnets, all 2 sizes too small. The hair is a brassy orange with gobs of makeup on bad skin. The high heels are so high as to cause a stumbling, ungraceful gait. That’s about the same impression I get from dumbshit’s speech.
Michael, by the time I got to eel sashimi I was actually laughing out loud.
A couple of years ago, my sister in law came for Christmas dinner, she put tossed salad on her plate, topped it with potatoes, asparagus, then poured gravy on it. She said “it’s called a hot salad”. It nauseated me to see it. I guess some people prefer things differently, but even she wouldn’t add dessert to the hot salad.
My biggest question to those who attend is (really this Is a dead serious question) are there Applaud Now signs? No one can possibly interpret this and be able to judge when they are required to stand or applaud. Maybe the plants in the audience who start the applause or standing Ovation have pre-read the speech? I was never forced to endure a Miscavige event so I really want to know how people know when to react since the speech itself gives no clues. It’s all over the top.
No applaud signs, but someone with recent experience who’ve been hired to be “extras” to fill in seats at events, or the talent who perform on stage, might sneak some of their views, although even the “wog” talent I think are made sign waivers and releases to NOT say anything about what they see during their duty as performers.
As a Sea Org member at events, you just play along and stand up at every standing ovation, which there is a whole history of these standing ovations, I think at one point the standing ovations got too much, as at some events almost every word break in Miscavige’s speech was followed by a whole crowd standing ovation, and it was group mentality, a fear thing, fear that one should look NOT the total dutiful supporter of Miscavige’s great messages in each of his paragraph long speech lines.
If Miscavige sounded expectantly at the end of his voiced paragraph word salad line, people would automatically leap to their feet.
Sometimes, funnily, front row friends who were brought by other celebs would fail to do the proper standing ovation leaping, and get sickened immediately by the over the top standing ovations all the time, and that led to some changes I think in Miscavige’s oration performance do’s and dont’s.
There is a whole comical history and nuances to the crazy standing ovation and applause back and forth clapping or leaping to one’s feet to Dear Leader.
Funny comment, makes me think of filming a spoof of Scientology events, have the play actors all in the front row do a Tom Cruise gesturing and leaping into and off of their auditorium seating in over the top response to Miscavige’s word salad paragraphs!
I recall back in 2005. Anita and I had moved to Florida and plopped down hard cash to get her through the OT levels. She was coming home in tears nearly every evening.
What I observed was Tampa org with over 100 staff and only 4 students on basic courses. They only had 3 people training to be auditors in the entire organization. They had an enormous test center in Ibor City manned by arrogant OT VIIIs. There were enough seats in the course room to hold 60 students but in all the times I was there, they had only one student who came in late and left early. The auditors association had a big list of people who had purchased books and it took them weeks and weeks to get ONE person to come in for a free session.
The general tone was between 1.1 and 2.0.
Later that year we went to an event at Ruth Eckerd hall. As I listened to that virtually incomprehensible drivil spewing from miscavige’s mouth a voice in my mind screamed, “BULL SHIT!!”
I mentioned it to Anita and she went, “la la la…you know…it’s just white PR.” I started to argue but could see she wasn’t willing to look at that point. But the “truth revealed” was forever set in my consciousness; this miscavige prick was lying through his teeth and spewing false stats to make himself look good.
I finally felt perfectly okay with my own thoughts. It was then and there that I allowed myself to mock and ridicule the retarded shermanspeak and the lying little jerk who was vomiting it out and pretending it meant anything at all.
I felt released man! Really released!
Very well said, LDW.
“a significant donation is all that stands between a great void where souls are lost forever and a message to billions…” Nevertheless and not withstanding and irregardless of reality, it is always about the money.
Again, excellent snark and joking from the commenteers.
The reality of David Miscavige’s most recent speech is funnier than the spoof speech of his other former speech/script writers Steve Hall, who wrote hilarious spoofing of Miscavige’s speeches.
Sections of this Miscavige speech sound like he’s taking mind slurring alcohol or other medications.
No editor ever could edit Hubbard or any of Scientology’s masters of ceremonies’ speeches, for all sorts of reasons. How can editors clean up these speeches, or even clean up Scientology logic and ideas, so as to present even this Hubbard fantasy crank pseudo-therapy and exorcism to the world as something that really is going to do the world any good.
Scientology is such a losing overall proposition, to try to in any way present to the world.
all I wish is Shelly Miscavige, up at CST mother site headquarters, sneaks a look at your blog Mike, and secretly leaks ALL of Hubbard’s private writings, so the world sees what LRH said, and fill in detail this whole big mess that Hubbard created.
Hubbard’s crank final private writings I think might be edited into a book that might sell something, on amazon.
But I think Shelly should leak everything on flashdrives, into the public domain as a public service.
“No we are not slowing down.” – David Miscavige, 2014 IAS final closing stement excerpt.
I took that as an admission that the outside media and informed observers do perceive that Scientology has significantly slowed down, lost celebrities who’ve gone public, lost senior members who have down exposing of the “church’s” decline, and that Scientology’s Ideal churches are in fact empty.
So, glutz PR cramming order would be in store, and the lack of anything that Miscavige can do, since the truth has simply been catching up with Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard.
No amount of managerial skill can sell Scientology when the truth of the history of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard are simply made public as has been done.
The truth of what is Scientology has caught up.
Leading Scientoogy is a thankless impossible task in any event, and not a job many are vying to hold!
PS: Have you heard of the Wall of Fire? Well I have a Bridge to Total Freedom which is just what you need to deal with the effects of the Wall of Fire or 4th dynamic Engram that has influenced every man woman and child in this sector of the galaxy!
Dan Sherman has taken bad prose to a level approaching art. I have to admit, he has a unique skill. Once he’s declared (as all who are close to Miscavige are, eventually), he could probably make a fine living as a romance novelist.
That was page 169!?!? My god, what’s in the preceding 168 pages?
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.
MM: Rubbish was offended that you classified it in the same category as the IAS.
“…you are witnessing a space-time continuum where clocks stand still, and production hits levels that are almost supernatural.”
GOD, I MISS those events…
I get a hard-on just reading the text…..
In that case you’ll want to check out yesterday’s post on this blog containing a description of her “Ideal Scene – 2nd Dynamic” by Kyera B Keenne – the two of you are made for each other!
Sadly the only thing I had in common with Kyera is that I like art…
And anyway I am writing a KR on her for not including in her Ideal Scene how much money we/her/me/us need to donate to the IAS and Ideal Org program…I mean WHAT an omission…she needs serious Sec Checking!
When I see the picture of “Dave” the word gay come to mind. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. He is becoming a lower harmonic of Liberace.
This is bad, really bad. After reading DM’s closing message I have this throught in my head that does not stop:
“What a jerk, what an unbelievable pompous Jerk!”
Mike,
The Gold Buttons are new .If you stare at them long enough they send a message,
Mastercard,Visa, American Express has NO LIMIT !
What an ugly little man.
However, want to bet a comparative photo of him 12 months from now shown side by side with this one sees him look more like the grim reaper.
I look into my crystal ball and see 2015 as a nightmare come true for Davey – the truth and Davey boy are going to combine into a grandiose ‘shaken but not stirred’ tuxedo of glistening event horizon magnificence as he gets to strut his stuff in the limelight for recorded eternity – they are fighting to see who gets the documentary out on him first to show this little man in his true, vivid and spectacular splendour.
Oh but 2015 will go down as the year of the crystal clarity view of miscavige – from the silver screen to the courts rooms of the world – bring it on!
“You are infinite, immortal, omnipotent, profound and you have a credit card. That’s why we welcome you to scientology.”
O.M.G. Gag me with a spoon.
and Dear Leader also says referring to GAT II and the SP building: “….and production hits levels that are almost supernatural.”
Considering these are gigantic failures in production, maybe that’s the new theme to explain the failures? “Even though you only see empty buildings, there is something supernatural going on that you will only understand after you get a “special” IAS fleecing, I mean briefing. Bring your wallet.”
Yes “supernatural” production – as in “Invisible” ! 🙂
yup Mark … supernatural = invisible….. the new theme is: even though you can’t see our magnificent accomplishments, they are there and WE did it…. We stopped Ebola. We, ahh, brought down the Berlin Wall, we ahh saved Ferguson…. we ahh… well, you know, we saved the world, but we need more of your money to keep up the work…. cash or charge?
There you have it folks….the top fund raiser on the planet….oops the universe…..has spoken.
HE has laid the seed in all who listens it is now time to shell out the big bucks one and all because
it is far more important than material wealth and social status. Nothing should stand between those lost
souls and THE MESSAGE.
Key words….Substantial Contribution and Significant Donation.
Wait am I missing something?…….Aren’t those IAS trophies handed out indicating material wealth and
social status?
Put a beard and top hat on him and I think he would indeed look like Lincoln.
And needless to say however, notwithstanding the fact that we are the sole global force of planetary succor and salvation, capable of reversing more dwindling spirals than can be computed on a Hewlett Packard calculator, your contributions will mark the dawn of a new civilization inconceivable by mere mortals, and the hosannas will be heard across zones of galactic expanses reaching past infinity and beyond. Thank you.
Mr. Mallen, that truly is a run-on sentence for the ages! Thank you.
You’re welcome EM. Dave could lighten it up now and then by telling a joke. 😉
He doesn’t need to tell a joke, He just needs to show up.
Next time please tell us WHERE to breath 🙂
Greta
The not-quite-bright have a button on self-importance
When Sherman and Miscavige find themselves unemployed they can hit the streets and run a mean game of Three-card Monte and steal from poor people…….Oh wait, Miscavige is already doing that with the fundraisers and shills and all that. Shit, that guy is on top of everything.
“While in full and all told, it will make for a global spanning of the Bridge to carry the weight of whole continents.”
This is my favorite bite of word salad. The words have meanings, some of the phrases do too. You start imagining a global bridge, then you have to put to the continents on top, and the whole metaphor collapses and you have nothing.
Hi hair is getting poofier. I think it made it’s 5.4x quota.
Definitely 5.4x, and headed for 47x Global Expansion.
I do not know if anybody noticed, but it looks he added a hint of henna to his hair coloring. I checked on 2 color calibrated monitors and and both it looks like his hair is getting colored with a touch of red.
I have no idea whom he wants to emulate with that move? 🙂
He’s covering up the grey in his hair, obviously. He’s a year and a few months younger than I am, and I started getting grey in my hair over 6 or 7 years ago. If you compare today’s picture with the 2011 photo in the Wiki entry the change in color is obvious, even to the casual observer.
I heard he is going to get some collagen injections into his lips also.
No amount of fillers will get rid of that smirk line.
Interesting Gerhard — I noticed that as well, added to his disproportionately large head, as his body shrinks under the wight of all those overts. I think he’s beginning to look more and more like Chuckie! Lesser beings have fallen into the trap of transference with Hollywood created characters. Perhaps his love affair with TC has run its course, and he’s now chosen someone more his size and personality.
Odd
Tony de Phillips! 5.4X expansion on the hair!! LOL Yeah, watch that video from 1986 and see the difference in his hair. WHAT has he been doing with it? Implants gone wrong?

That is funny Mike. Your paragraph starting with “But notwithstanding that,” was as good as any Shermanspeak. I think Rinderspeak could take Shermanspeak to the mat if that was all you had to do!
I don’t the man knows whether to shit or go blind.
I see an apparent page number of 169 on the closing message. Is there really a document that long from the IAS, and what other gems might it hold?
YEs, it is the latest edition of Impact mag — the propaganda rag of the IAS. When I have some time I will go through and give you all the highlights (lowlights?)….
Excellent. Looking forward to learning more plus analysis of what it all means.
Would be fun to be able to download a scanned version posted somewhere. Any ideas if anyone has posted this issue? I did a quick search and didn’t see it… Thanks to anyone who knows where this stuff might be found.
JPC,
I don’t even take the plastic mailing wrapper off of this crap. Do you have a mailing address that you can post here?
I will send it to the email address you include here when you post.
This is the correct one.
It seems he can see that vast void where souls are lost forever, as if he wasn’t himself, rooting around in the dirt of that canyon looking for the next big whale donation that he can extract with his rather large snout. That’s exactly where he is at. He could no better give someone a lift up and out of that canyon if he deigned himself to try.
Dave,
You are asmatic, not breathtaking.
Presuming that–‘virtually everywhere and everyone’–you won’t even be noticed around New Years, it is time for you to bow out. Ergo, FUCK OFF!
Great line!
Wow. So over the top that the top cannot even be seen when looking down for it.
There are places in this prose where Shermanspeak transform into “Shermincoherency”.
As for the rest, it goes far beyond arrogance and pomposity into an ever solidifying bubble of utter delusion and hallucinatory cause. I have long been amused by the Shermaniscavige rantings, but this particular one has risen to a level of downright scariness.
Axiom #1: Shermanspeak can only be described with Shermanspeak.
Corollary: Life is basically Miscavige.
Axion #2: When hyperbole exceeds all reasonable possibility in the actual world, only more flowery, hyperbolic adjectives will push the statement into the realm of believability by inducing unconsciousness.
Oh that’s a good one, Sindy. That actually IS an axiom 🙂
The suspension of reality in the cult is astonishing. Correlation with the Bunker post today is apt. You need that to process this.
With such blather, all I can picture is Charlie Brown’s teacher, “wha, wha, wha….”
Love the “bigger buttons or he’s shrinking”! LOLOL, Mike!
Hmmm, I bet on the ‘shrinking’!
Greta
It’s as if he cut off the shiny buttons from his ‘uniform’ and sewed them onto his tux shirt!
DM is sadly pathetic, not to mention that his face has shifted 5 degrees to the starboard side.
🙂
Would be good to see someone shift it over to about 5 degrees to the Port side.
Here here to the shifting to Port side. Video, please.
The current changes not only look like he is shifting, the word “shiftless” comes to mind, as well.
adjective
1.
lacking in resourcefulness; inefficient; lazy.
2.
lacking in incentive, ambition, or aspiration.
I’ll take a shot!
Trevor would be proud of you. 🙂
Btw, dear leader’s new perm is a tad too tight.
…and, his eyebrows are dyed to match the auburn waves!
My hair is, ok, used to be auburn. Even when that is your natural color, I think it’s the hardest to deal with if you want to fight off the gray. Everyone I’ve ever seen who tried it failed miserably. In this case, where it isn’t even the original color, it’s even worse.
Could he possibly be trying to emulate the appearance of the latter days of The Commodore?
Are you referring to T. Meldal-Johnson?
Sorry, Dave. No matter how much force you use, you just can’t stop the aging process. It’s astounding how horrible, aged and massy he has become, compared to his younger, evil self. Astounding what effect 28 years of overts, withholds and evil ints can have on a body. Do a side-by-side comparison. Shocking.

As an interesting point, DM acknowledges Pat and Annie Broeker as LRH’s very close confidants for the last 6 years of Ron’s life.

Word salad is right! “Purple Prose” – never heard of it but it’s the perfect term for this load of horseshit.
I think the Sheeple are in such a mental fog by the end of this crap that they either just sleep walk their way to the IAS offices with their credit cards in hand or they figure they have “crashing MU’s” they can never get to the bottom of because David Miscavige, having the necessary “grand perspective,” is the only one that fully understands the gravity, enormity and expanse of the problems facing this third rock from the sun and they should give a “substantial contribution” so that they can make an “everlasting gesture” (to David Miscavige’s “material wealth and social status”).
Yes, Mare. An everlasting gesture ! Great explanation of the sheeple insanity and Tiny Dick’s “grand perspective”. He is so big in his own twisted mind.
Dear Leader says in opening “no, we are not slowing down.” and “It’s only been 11 months since the release of GAT II”
Sounds like Dear Leader is being a bit defensive????… ruh roh, here comes HBO and BBC…..
Lol.
Yes! That, to me, is the headline out of this ridiculous blather — He’s come about as close as he can to openly making excuses for the lack of visible expansion (not the mention the visible contraction). He must be hearing grumbling about this problem from some quarter he can’t afford to ignore. The question is who exactly is he talking to (Duggan?) and how long will stopping clocks along the space-time continuum fend off the inevitable whale migration.
LOL! Whale migration — what a visual. A veritable “pod” of Orcas escaping while they still have some vestige of integrity.
Odd
Dahhh.. OK George, where do I sign ( and uhh, how much you want ) ?
Dave’s nightmare: Duggan and Cruise have blown.
It may be called purple prose or whatever, but it sure reminds me of some politicians that do voice a lot of convoluted words and, at the end, they ended saying nothing of value.
Is like all these terminology, that at times contradicts itself within one sentence, has the covert purpose to loose you, your mind and attention and, in fact, it makes you so dizzy that you don’t see you are being ripped off.
And knowing miscavige he may be doing it on purpose so he can loose the minds of those still providing him with the minuscule power he does have, even if he calls it ‘magnanimous, expansive, ultra natural, and beyond simple comprehension’.
“…it makes you so dizzy that you don’t see you are being ripped off.”
Ah, yes, the dizzying, electrifying buildup…
Who needs offhand orgasms when you can pump a plethora of purple prose down their throats?
Oh, face it; Sherman’s shorts have the stickiness to stand on their own: “I do so from a grand perspective…”
Such spewings are measured to cause the KA drinker to succumb and leave smiling.
This actually meshes well with the concept of “altitude teaching” as a manipulation technique, the subject of Tony Ortega’s blog to day.
I actually thought that picture was an actor, even though people change as they age. He looks less like himself.
He is beginning to look more like his father. Seeds of self doubt.
Delusional demagogue.
