From the first panel I knew it had to be a dream, as Miscavige is doing everything in his power to ensure the cult will go out with a whimper, not a bang.
He fully plans to keep up appearances, and will even claim they’re expanding explosively, until after 2050 when he’s gone.
Expect a really big Superbowl ad on February 12, 2023. It will probably feature crowds of yellow-shirted cult members running in ecstatic slow motion because they’re so successful. The final scene will be the earth from space with points of light popping up and merging into a white glare that represent Scientologists solving every problem.
I have been reading your stuff for years, RB. This is so spot on.
At first I was moved to quote Shakespeare and write,
“The play is the thing, wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.”
… But then I realized that the “king” is merely a pretender who has no conscience.
I wonder what he told the examiner after the self auditing? Of course that’s himself to the rest of us, but to him, well… it’d have to be a valence too petrified to say anything else but, “your righteousness is floating.”
Good one RB!
Hopefully he said what I said to Kurt Charles, the Dirt of Exams FSO; that I felt like killing myself. Kurt then said that my needle was floating.
As I was leaving he asked me what I had said.
When I told him he said ” Your needle was not floating.
No shit.
That is a manifestation known as an ARC break needle. it looks like an F/N, but with bad PC indicators. Why; It’s because the PC knows that nobody gives a Fuck and there is no point in telling anyone whlo
What the problem was.
Back to the question:
I hope that after he told the examiner that he wanted to kill himself, that he did exactly that.
I have been waiting for 44 years to die after I told Kurt that.
DM does not have to wait for anything or any CSSOBOHB.
I’ve been working with for a few months now and have submitted evidence to the Royal Commission into Veteran’s Suicide here in Australia. In the last 20 years of active deployment by Australia troops overseas more deaths have been by suicide than by enemy action.
The craziest thing to try to come to terms with is that 1/2 of those suicides are by those that didn’t engage in combat operations.
There’s little or few reasons we comprehend why such a scenario exists, except I’m of the belief in any organisation, betrayal of purpose is paramount to personal problems.
It’s a sad and bitter situation.
Many Scilons live in a bubble, but for the most part it’s a common bubble shared by those closest to them. Miscavige lives in his own unique bubble, shared at this point in his life by no one. If the other Scientologists are in a prison of belief, at least they get to mingle with their fellow prisoners. Miscavige lives in that same prison of belief, but unlike the others, he resides in a self-enforced solitary confinement.
It’s lonely at the top. But don’t worry, it won’t last forever.

It is so spot on, that I hauled 2 PC folders to the Sandcastle on my motorcycle to the C/S there to determine if they were ready for Solo N/OTs.
Karl Woodrow says
I don’t get your comment, Dead Man. Is there a story behind this?
Briget says
This is just a classic, RB!
Eyes wide says
Brilliant!

Epic, on point and hilarious.

This is Spectacular, RB! The words…. and the pictures! Well done.

Book and Bottle Process?
RB, you are too clever for us naughty people.
Zee Moo says
Giggle…..Yeah, I bet Dave Miscavige does have nightmares about being chased by a mob with pitchforks and torches.

The last frame is so hilarious, it’s good as a stand-alone but the whole strip is priceless and may go down as one of your best.
RB, you are so clever.
