Ruthless/SuMP
Been a few interesting days leading up to Miscavige's birthday bash. Though they apparently sent out decoy messages that the event was canceled (maybe it was and then changed to being back on again which would not be unusual) it seems this was the "gift of expansion" that Dave wanted for his birthday. So he went ahead and yanked his ribbon to commemorate the occasion. Apparently there were dozens of security people surrounding the place yesterday as the faithful awaited the arrival of the Grand Ribbon Yanker. The stage was built and the anticipation was high. I don't have confirmation of … [Read more...]
Dave the Octopus
This is an excerpt of the vacuous legal threat letter sent to the UK publisher of Ron Miscavige's book, Ruthless. Tony Ortega published the letter on his blog today. It also mentions letters sent to the US publishers (which have not yet been made public). No doubt the assault from high-paid lawyers aimed at the US publishers has been even more concerted than this limp Johnsons effort. Hopefully those letters, and the ones inevitably sent to ABC, will all be made available at some point to document once again the emptiness of their threats. But two particular sentences caught my eye among … [Read more...]
Miscavige Stalker Sites – “Ruthless” Response
Everyone who reads this is probably familiar with the scientology tactic of buying domain names anonymously and using them as "Dead Agent" sites on those who are critical of scientology or David Miscavige. There are plenty of these sites that already exist -- many in the category of "WhoIs[Fill in name].org.com.info.net.biz" etc The idea is to create sites with shit on people they don't like at addresses where they might trick unsuspecting web surfers into thinking they had stumbled across real information about the person (until they take one look at the over-the-top hate speech that … [Read more...]
David Miscavige “Dead Agent” pack
Several reports have come in from the LA area of people being called into orgs to be interviewed for a "Dead Agent" pack about COB. They are being asked to answer up to such questions as: How long have you been in scientology What were the orgs like when you got in What are the orgs like now How has the leadership of the church been Have you met David Miscavige? How was the experience? As one of the people who was called in explained: "Who would be stupid enough to answer these questions honestly and tell the story about how when he came through the org he ripped … [Read more...]
Ruthless: How Will David Miscavige Respond?
Now that Ron Miscavige's book has been announced, I am offering some predictions on how his son will respond. This is based on past experience and reading Martha Stoutt's The Sociopath Next Door. David Miscavige fits the personality traits profiled in that book as if it were written exclusively about him. More than likely, the responses will come from "Karin Pouw," "Freedom" magazine or lawyers, even though dictated by Dave. He doesn't like to soil his image by commenting on things that are beneath his lofty station in life like a book by his father. But regardless of whom utters the v … [Read more...]
