He is the closest thing we’ve got to a cartoon supervillain. Many more people are destined to suffer greatly at his hand, and there is little we can do to prevent it.
Mike, was anything extra sent out to those who pre-ordered your book on Amazon Kindle? I’m trying to figure out if I need to be concerned and change up passwords, or if this was a bonus that just didn’t come with anything to identify it. (Email associated with this is not the same as email associated with Kindle.)
Danny just needs to explain how he was just operating on the Scientology brainwashing that he was raised in. Pull out a copy of Dianetics and read how Hubbard says that if a little girl wasn’t aberated it wouldn’t bother her if an adult male kissed her passionately. Explain what “motivator hungry” is. Why people “pull in” bad things happening to them due to the bad things that they themselves have done in past lives. How raping a person isn’t that bad because the person is not their body. Explain that a person is FULLY responsible for all that is done to them. He can explain to the Judge how he is an “upstat” and deserves ethics protection when it comes to complaints from down stat white trash and non producers. How everything he did was actually the most good for the most number of dynamics. He can explain that is why the cherch of Scientology protected him and his actions. I’m sure the Judge and jury will see how his Scientology upbringing is the actual reason for his criminal and insane behavior. Danny needs to throw Scientology under the bus and then pick up whats left and throw it under a moving train.
“religious freedom” to spew one’s nutty “religion’s” ass backwards logic, and claim despite how foul that “religious” belief/logic is, it’s one’s right to live that “reality” in the world that per the nutball viewpoint the real world is nutty, not their nutball reality.
What a world, what a strange predicament to be born into.
That is one of the biggest complaints I had as a child, wondering why the heck is the vast population of earth so stridently opposed to each other’s beliefs in what the big cosmic reality of all time and space is all about?
How disappointing that the world has such foul disagreeing views putting new people born into this world into this predicament of such opposing views of everything.
Hubbard’s worldview isn’t winning worldwide acceptance, and rather it loses followers more quickly compared to decades ago, thankfully.
Scientology’s beliefs just aren’t going to win in this world market of religious/life-improvement selling.
Question, in your book Mike, you wrote that when Tommy Davis realized he messed up with saying to John Sweeney “I talk to David Miscavige everyday “ (in regards to interviewing Miscavige ) you stated he went to Las Vegas to hide out, instead of reporting/ going back to Miscavige.
Question : if Tommy did go back would he have been put in the “Hole” ?
Has he ever seen the “Hole” ? Has he ever been hit by Miscavige ?
I just can’t see someone like Tommy Davis (being the arrogant little *flying monkey , for satan)
(*Flying Monkey and the sociopath :Art imitates life and so it is with Flying Monkeys. The term was coined from the movie The Wizard of Oz in which the Wicked Witch dispatches monkeys to fly and get Dorothy and her dog. The monkeys obey her command, doing her dirty work for her, taunting and terrorizing Dorothy as she tries in vain to get back home. And so it is with narcissists and their flying monkeys.
As if a magical spell has taken over, the bond between the narcissist and their flying monkeys is one of unwavering loyalty even in the face of danger. When the narcissist wants to evoke some punishment on a target they dispatch their henchmen (aka flying monkeys) to do their bidding. Unfortunately, this can and often does include abusive behavior such as guilt-tripping, twisting the truth, gaslighting, assaults, threats, and violence. This keeps them out of harms way and able to claim innocence if caught.)*
would allow someone to lay hands on him.. and not tell his mommy ..
I’m just saying he was so aggressive about the claims of abuse .. I thought there is know way this guy would ever let someone hit him , and not fight back.. (physically or hide behind a law suit for a settlement)
He eventually did go back, but not to The Hole. He was treated as a “special case” and went to Flag where he was sec checked by Jessica Feshbach who then married him! They both left the Sea Org not long thereafter.
Miscavige is between the proverbial rock and hard place where Masterson is concerned. If he convinces Masterson to change his plea, Masterson will have to give an allucation statement to the judge. This would have to include his, and $cientology’s, involvement in convincing his victims not to report his crimes. Which would pretty much sink $cientology in the civil cases.
At the same time, if Masterson doesn’t change his plea and is found guilty by the jury, $cientology will be fighting everything brought out in the criminal trial during the civil cases.
I think we are witnessing the beginning of the end for scientology. I really do. I see no way cob can win this one. It would not surprise me if cob disappears. Just to avoid the crash that will come. And I think it will be a very large crash.
The cases that are going on now will prove, in court, that scientology is what it has said to be by the people who left and there will be no way to suppress it.
The end is near.
But that is just my opinion, I have no proof of that.
Scientology lost the war they created some time ago. The money in their coffers can still afford the best and most soul devoid lawyers money can buy and the most stupid of stupid people who keep donating are propping it all up.
Mike’s book, his high powered associates and media involvement is a dagger to their heart imo – you simply cannot deny his former altitude in the organisation and crisp memory.
Technically & strategically imo, this is a mopping up operation that has begun in earnest, but it’s a slow and messy affair. Those with the actual administrative power to end their existence have “their own fish to fry,” so it’s a slug it out battle in the courts. However, in the court of public and now political opinion (wanabe CA mayors fighting it out) Scientology is critically wounded. If TC and/or Travolta could somehow make an obvious move to distance themselves from Miscavige all the better, but DM does have dirt on them.
Yes, Miscavige would do us all a favor if he simply disappeared and let the organisation implode. Then the poor souls trapped inside could be approached and set free. At the moment a battle still rages…
Good one RB. DM’s mind must be like a pin ball machine where the ball is always in play – there’s no exit for it. He can’t win, nor lose and none else can ever get a turn. Insanity I think you could call it.
Hubbard designed it… and registered it as Scientology.
