The scientology minions are always trying to improve the image of Captain Miscavige.
He is credited for everything that happens in scientology, and glowing testimonials about what a a great guy he is are routinely pumped out in the form of videos from sheeple seeking to ingratiate themselves with Dear Leader. Their hope is that some content shows up on Google searches for his name other than all the coverage of his violence, homophobia and disappeared wife.
This one slid over the transom the other day and it is a study in what scientology thinks is “PR”” Put some dribble out on a paid “news service website” announcing his greatness.
The only thing true about it is that David Miscavige is indeed without parallel — no other “leader” of any normal organization has the distinction of being titled “Punching Pope” (as John Sweeney so cleverly labeled him). That does make him unparalleled.
The piece is vapid puffery.
In fact, it says absolutely NOTHING of substance about Miscavige — just an unremarkable anecdote about someone else being late for a meeting and Miscavige remembering it some years later. And one of his minions sent flowers to a funeral. What manners! What a man! What a leader!
You can read the entire thing here:
David Miscavige: A Leader Without Parallel is taken from a video by Gray Levett on the David Miscavige website. Levett is founder of an internationally acclaimed photography business. It is so successful and influential that Her Majesty’s College of Arms awarded the shop its own coat of arms.
The first time Gray Levett met David Miscavige
Levett describes a time he was working in Hollywood. And that’s when he met David Miscavige for the first time. This was in the early ’80s.
Levett had an appointment at Author Services, which had just been established to care for the personal affairs and literary, theatrical and musical works of L. Ron Hubbard.
“I arrived and the person I wanted to see wasn’t yet available for me. So, I was sitting in the waiting area,” he said.
And time ticked on.
Out of the corner of his eye, Levett saw someone come into the room.
First impressions
“I heard my name mentioned,” he said. And suddenly someone came over. The man asked, “Excuse me, are you Gray Levett?”
Levett said, “I am.” And the man said, “Hello, my name’s Dave. What’s the purpose of your visit?”
He told the man he was there to meet a particular individual. “We’re working on a project,” Levett told him.
The man asked if he had arrived early and Levett said, “Yes, I did.” And he added, “I was raised to always be on time. To be punctual.”
“So was I,” said the man.
By now it was 15 minutes after the meeting was supposed to begin.
Impeccable manners
The man excused himself, and a few minutes later a staff member came out, looking on edge, and apologizing profusely for keeping him waiting.
“And I didn’t think anything of it,” says Levett. “I thought he’d been stuck on the phone or something.”
About an hour later when Levett was leaving, he once again ran into the man named Dave. Later he learned ‘Dave’ was David Miscavige.
They rode down the elevator together. And he asked, “How did your meeting go?”
Levett thought it went very well. And that’s thanks to you, he said.
Following L. Ron Hubbard’s policy to the letter
And Levett’s new acquaintance said, “I follow Mr. Hubbard’s policies to the dotted i and the crossed t.” And that very much included what Mr. Hubbard said about manners.
A second meeting 18 years later
A number of years later, Levett was at Saint Hill in the UK for a charity concert. And he was with a famous actor he’d brought along. Just then, there was a tap on his shoulder.
“I turned around and it was David Miscavige. And he said: ‘1981, Author Services, our discussion on manners.’”
“I was staggered that he would remember,” says Levett. “And we had a great catch-up.”
Astonished by David Miscavige’s care
Levett’s younger sister passed away about ten years ago and he says it left quite a big hole in his life. There was a memorial service at Saint Hill.
“And I was astonished to see that there was this enormous bouquet of flowers that the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Miscavige, had sent over for her. Then Levett was handed a letter from Mr. Miscavige. “He asked if I was okay. And if I needed anything, to get in contact with him. I was very touched by the compassion. Especially considering how many people he must meet.”
For him to have taken that much trouble, “it meant a huge amount and it shows a side to him… Not only do we have the benefit of his leadership and his direction. And all of the things that he has brought us. We also have someone who is very caring. And immensely able. … During my life I’ve met some very, very, very capable people. But I’ve never met anybody that’s as capable and caring as he is. And I think we’re in fantastic hands.”
An unparalleled leader
David Miscavige is “a leader without parallel,” Levett says. “When LRH found someone to take over when he left, he just couldn’t have found anyone better. He’s an extraordinary person.”
David Miscavige? A leader without parallel? Don’t make me laugh! He was courteous and gentle? Not to me he wasn’t! I nearly collided into that diminutive dictator in 2009 and he looked me up and down with contempt on his face! So help me, if I ever see him again, well, I don’t know what I’ll do.
There was a song played in Monty Python At The Hollywood Bowl that could describe DM.
I’m the urban space man, baby; I’ve got speed
I’ve got everything I need
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I can fly
I’m a supersonic guy
I don’t need pleasure
I don’t feel pain
If you were to knock me down I’d just get up again
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I’m makin’ out
I’m all about
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place
I’m the urban spaceman, I’m intelligent and clean
Know what I mean?
I’m the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none
It’s a lot of fun
I never let my friends down
I’ve never made a boob
I’m a glossy magazine, an advert in the tube
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; here comes the twist–
I don’t exist
BIASED? And we can see for ourselves how badly things are actually going under DM by looking at the example of the collapse of the mission network. there were between about 60 and 70 in the US on printed lists in the back of books like WIS prior to 2010, and then on this list based on their website in 2015. but now about only half of them still show up on a check of the CofS site — and some of those that do, turn out to have actually closed two or three years ago, like Deep Ellum and Sonoma, so who knows how many more on the list have died off but Scientology is just unable to ‘bring up to present time’?

Literally everything you write about David Miscavige just makes him sound more BASED and deserving of the praise he receives.
“… just makes him sound more BASED and…” What the hell is that bit of babble about?
Apart from that: Zzzz…keep trying troll.

To be fair, Gray’s ‘internationally successful photography business’ (or as us mortals would call it, a camera shop) IS quite well-known and reputed among photographers, particularly ones who use Nikon cameras (as those are all they sell). The service is supposedly second to none. Though Mr Levett tongue-bathing Captain Micavige is quite another thing altogether.

Because no one has access to the final 10 years of L. Ron Hubbard’s private behind the scenes writings, Miscavige cannot be properly judged.
All outsiders studying Scientology can do is talk to former people who’ve read what Hubbard wrote and wished for the future of the movement as laid out in his final writings.
Miscavige’s grossest omission is failing to implement those final private strategic orders.
When Shelly submitted the postings for the top positions in the movement, that was devastating evidence against Miscavige.
He’d been complaining top management wasn’t up to the task of even posting and setting itself up.
One of the old CMO International duties when Hubbard was still alive and issuing his final 6-8 years or orders, was to man up the top councils to run the movement in the future.
Miscavige all these years since the mid to late 1990s has let the top councils not be manned up.
(It’s always futile to even execute Hubbard’s final orders, but Miscavige has failed at it, and instead been this one man show and boss of the movement, always lording it over all the rest, and truly never trying to man up realistically the top councils.)
I thought seriously about how to solve this, I thought realistically the top councils needed to be proficient in the standards of the 1969 “Flag Ship Order” (not a Flag Order, but just a Flag Ship Order) which gave the “hatting” of the top leaders to be Class 8 and OEC . Bringing this up to date, this would mean all top leaders need to be Class 12 and OEC/FEBC/PR and full Sea Org writings by Hubbard “hatted”.
And then, to really solve the long term problems of the movement, I saw a loophole in the “Staff Hatting” policy by Hubbard, which stated to allow outside specialist training. For the overview of Scientology, I thought that it was be best to let the top council leaders of the movement to also get outside university and college training in religion history, and interact really widely, outside as that really relevant to leaders of Scientology.
To reform Scientology, you would have to draw from the best still out in the world.
Like for instance, even if you limited this outside university level “hatting” to persons in the old Heber Jentzsch “President of Scientology” office which was part of OSA Int. Even though it was a PR “hat” this President of Scientology job, that office ought to minimally have specialized outside hatting in other religions’ histories and people like the President of Scientology ought to be university religion trained somewhere in a good university or universities.
The LRH PR policies, the one in particular, called Definition of PR, contains a tiny snippet of info that backs up getting outside knowledge and input.
It’s beyond those left standing to implement what ought be done, were official Scientology to reform itself.
Someone with wider understanding is needed to fix Scientology from the inside.
Miscavige is not humble enough nor educated enough, and has the worse problems all have criticised him for, preventing him from manning up the top councils of the movement with people educated themselves enough to stop the tragedies Scientology leaves.
And then is it worth it, to make Scientology really more of a religion?
To me, in hindsight, it is an abusive and sometimes worse religion, which hasn’t developed leaders who can think their way into smoother more traditional religious behavior.
And it will downsize logically over time, but it has the money to keep itself afloat long range though.
The participants of Scientology today lack the smarts to solve their current controversial deserved negative reputation.
Miscavige is not smart enough to see this.

Any plans to sell the final LRH suicide emeter to the flock?
Have you tried the LRH Suicide Emeter yourself, and have you improved on it yet? It’s not being considered to be added to the “End of Life Rundown” is it?
But really, I understand if not, since LRH didn’t actually give the order to pilot and export it, did he? So you are off the hook. Whew! That really would be too Jim Jones-ish.

Or are you just going to run away like the scared little trainee troll you are.
I think you misunderstand. I’m calling BS on Gray Levett’s fawning, adoring tale of David Miscavige’s benevolence, not anything Mike wrote.
In that case, please accept my apology.
Hey there Mike,
I haven’t seen OSD (Old Surfer Dude) post in quite a while….hope he’s ok……I enjoyed his satire.
“David Miscavige – a leader without parallel.”
Well, thank goodness for that, anyway. Two of him would be WAY more than enough.
If you are a great, smart. ethical or otherwise wonderful human being, others will notice. And no, those you pay off, control or intimidate into saying so, they don’t count! One symptom of that greatness will be that you will NOT announce it on your web site. (Another one will be that you don’t create web sites to defame others. But I digress…)
This is such a circle jerk! Miscavige is a great man, because Levett–who has a financial interest in pleasing him–thinks Dave’s great. Which matters because Levett has a successful business. Which qualifies him as a judge of character? Or makes him a credible source?
But wait, Levett also has a coat of arms. And miscavige has medals. As did ron the con. And both sport officers’ titles. The funniest part: As vacuous as these self-attestations are, even they usually can’t stand even casual scrutiny.
Ah, Grey Levett of ‘Greys of Westminster’, already infamous as a tiny, overly-posh shop full of condescending staff selling overpriced Nikons to snobs with more money than sense. Even with its eye-watering mark-ups, the place should logically have gone bust years ago, leading to persistent rumours it’s being subsidised with funny-money of some kind. Add Scientology and Levett’s “pal” Miscavige to the mix, and you have something not just infamous, but pernicious.
Dave is a small puffed up fish in a tiny, tiny bowl filled with dirty water. Inevitably the handle on the side of the tank will be pushed down and all that will remain is some small footnote in a book about past cults.
That was cold.
Cold and so, so appropriate. So, so appropriate!
