RB is taking a well deserved long weekend for July 4th, so we have an oldie-but-goodie.
When I look back on all these masterpieces from RB, I realize how timeless they are. They truly capture the insanity of scientology, and as that insanity will never change, at least not until Ron returns from Target 2 (havent heard of “Target 3” so once he is done with 2 he can come back and straighten out the mess he left on Target 1).
Paul Salerno says
Hey buddy. Hope you guys are having a beautiful weekend. Our best to all. ❤
Kat LaRue says
Ssame to you Paul!

Sounds like young Carl’s spidey senses were tuning in! Hope he got out.

I recently found an article from the Columbia government that declared their great displeasure about Miscavige being given a medal that they didn’t approve. Apparently he had a retired police official pin the thing on his chest amid great pomp and ceremony on the dock where the good ship lollyspot was tied. I’m thinking he won’t be traveling to Columbia any time soon…they were NOT amused.
Skyler says
This is encouraging evidence. It would seem to mean to me that he definitely has some mental or emotional problem that may be fairly easy to diagnose.
He don’t need no stinkin’ medal. Why would he risk such easy public embarrassment? Surely he can figure out that some news people would pounce on that. Does he really have such a strong need for some cheap-ass piece of tin that he would risk a whole bunch of public embarrassment?
I don’t know exactly (or even approximately) what kind of psychiatric deficiency this would suggest.
As I recall, there is some figure from Greek or Roman mythology for whom this condition is named. Is it Narcissus? I honestly cannot remember the name. But I would hope that condition might provide some clues how to get him to fall for some trap in a courtroom so that he would say or do something that would lead to his own downfall. The F’ing Jerk!
In the past, many people have referred to something called a
Skyler says
Oops. Pls excuse. I have to blame the editor once more for my error at the end of the above post. Sorry.
Kat LaRue says
Skyler,
The term is narcissistic personality disorder, and though I wouldn’t officially diagnose him, he shows many traits of the narcissist. So did LRH- his was easier to see because of him writing so obsessively. Every thing was always about him; his comfort; his desires; his dictates; his intellect; his talent….its endless with LRH. Miscavige doesn’t seem to write at all. At least not for public consumption, which makes it harder to pinpoint and get examples. But i imagine the law firm will know his weak areas and will use them to their advantage.
I think he gives himself medals and honors without caring about repercissions because he knows no one inside would dare call him on it, and he knows most of them would never look on the internet. I imagine he feels pretty safe doing these outrageous things because of those two things- when anything negative comes up he can easily dismiss it as the “religious bigots” who are trying to destroy him. The still ins dont believe anything negative. They seriously believe we’ve made it all up because we are trying to destroy mankind. (And yes, thats what I’ve been told by some still ins when I’ve tried to speak with them). He has to keep up appearances that they are accomplishing something- how better than getting a “medal” from a foreign government for “saving mankind”. He can get a lot of milage out of that one.
Skyler says
I just wish that most people who see him getting those bogus awards and medals had your ability for cutting through all the BS and seeing the truth. Well done Kat.
Unfortunately too many people and especially those who are brainwashed seem to fall for that crap.
Rip Van Winkle says
The great news and wins on inroads into society touted and celebrated at events were always in small African countries…. groups of smiling brown people in colorful ethnic garb, holding up copies of The Way To Happiness. Rustic settings showed us the poverty and the hype was all about how these people were in desperate need and open to the magic of LRH tek. Police departments welcomed TWTH and the schools embraced Study Tek. We were winning!!!!
And the reason it wasn’t happening here at home was because of the Psych control and influence in America. I always watched these parts of the event with mixed feelings.
After some years of such events, the disgruntlement these segments engendered led me to timing my smoke breaks to these parts.. Watching them became too irritating and made me feel dissatisfied. (Smoke break during Sherman’s Vomitus was unequivocal).
Without the social aspect of the events, they became a tiresome chore over the years. The regging destroyed events, people flee as soon as they can after the too-excruciatingly-long video to avoid the dreaded white board.
I think I may have done a helluva lot more pretending than I was ever aware of while in.
Feels good to embrace the disbelief without qualms.
Happy holiday away from the Culty!
Kat LaRue says
Did no one think…” how can all of these small African countries read English well enough to understand a pamphlet”?
PeaceMaker says
Ah, but then the pamphlets need to be translated in all those native African tongues – another fundraising opportunity….
I bet that Scientology has regged from people, somewhere between 5.4X and 54X the actual cost of doing such translations. If you want to read a tale of regging for translations and other abuses, look up Maria Pia Gardini’s account:

Skyler says
Maybe they just needed something to use like kindling?
Cece says
Nicely written 🙂
Skyler says
It seems to me that Kat certainly has a talent for seeing the truth in situations like that.
Dead Men Tell No Tales Bill Straass says
Yeah; you just can’t trust these people. They will promise anything to get what you want.
Like the Captain Freewinds telling my wife that I would be dead soon and that there was nothing anyone could do for me and so she should just end cycle on me to justify his illegal enslavement of her.
Hell, that was over 17 years ago and I am still alive. Well, at least they managed to kill a bunch of friends of mine who were still on the ship so they are not totally incompetent.
Oh, I forgot; according to the Clearance I/C OSA W/US Ex- SO members do not have friends. Since their definition of a “friend” is someone who actively works to ensure your death after you, by their own statement saved them millions of dollars I will pass on being “friends of them and join the group of SPs who actually are working to help people.
Royal Jandreau says
Yeah, Bill you have to admit they did there best but you slipped the hook. I talked to Sherman and Steve and no ones heard from you.
I got rid of that old piece of junk and got a newer car.. Anyway give me a holler. Your old bud, Royal
Dead Men Tell No Tales Bill Straass says
Royal: My phone crapped out and I lost all my numbers. My new phone number is 510 205-3937. Give me a ring.
The “Church” does not accept excuses such as “We did the best we could”. You either get the product as ordered or you are a CICS on Hollywood Blvd.
Skymer says
Reminiscent of the Gestapo.
Old Surfer Dude says
Actually, it’s just like the Gestapo.
Dead Men Tell No Tales Bill Straass says
Actually, I ‘m sorry to tell you, but it IS the Gestapo. Where do you think Nazis went when they died? According to LRH, criminal types hang together.
LongTimeGone says
I was out a there long before the fund raisers started. Had I lasted that long, it would have been the final straw for me!
Old Surfer Dude says
LTG, do you still have that straw?
Skyler says
And is it small enough to fit up the monster’s nose?
Old Surfer Dude says
Once we strap the monster down, we can tickle the sucker!
PickAnotherID says
Yup! They still lie to people’s face to get them to an event. Same ole’, same ole’, where $cientology is concerned.
otherles says
My thought of the day for today was:
“The Church of Scientology wouldn’t have been founded by a decent person. L. Ron Hubbard wasn’t a decent person. David Miscavige clearly isn’t a decent person.”
Doug Sprinkke says
Isn’t there someone out there claiming to be Ron reincarnated? So perhaps Ron has already completed his work on Target 2 and will soon straighten out the mess here on Target 1. When I was still in my auditor was confident that the higher-ups in Scientology knew where Ron was in the current lifetime.
Scribe says
Ron is with Lucifer.
Old Surfer Dude says
And Lucifer loves little Ronnie!
Kat LaRue says
I believe it is Stan from Southpark…

Hell, if I was a little more of a narcissistic sociopath and spoke scientoligese better I might have a run at it.
