This is one of the recent press releases put out by scientology. That they’re not embarrassed to have this appear anywhere says a great deal about just how much of a cult scientology is.
The only comparison to this drooling idiocy is the fawning supplication of the poor people of N. Korea who fall over themselves to praise Dear Leader Kim Jong Un. Scientologists these days fall over one another to praise their Dear Leader — for “saving the tech in it’s purest form” (while he has completely decimated it), as a “get humanitarian leader” (which overseeing one of the largest human trafficking organizations on earth) or being “such a kind, compassionate man” (while beating and mentally torturing his underlings).
This piece is penned by Will Seabrook, a STAND League mainstay who identifies himself as “a musician, writer, business owner, human rights advocate, aspiring Renaissance Man.”
Just a couple of quotes from his piece tells you how brainwashed he is:
I had only been in Scientology a short time and knew nothing about its ecclesiastical structure. I did not know who David Miscavige actually was, but I had a sense from the way other people were behaving that this man was important.
But two things struck me as I was introduced and shook David Miscavige’s hand. First, I could literally feel the energy in my space change, like an electric current was moving through the air and amping everything up. There are apparently certain people with such a profound ability to communicate and to be completely present and attentive to others—whether an audience of thousands or an audience of one—that it actually changes the energy in the space. People talk about feeling “electrified.” That’s what it felt like.
Nothing screams cult leader like claiming magical powers and being “electrified” by his mere presence.
The second thing that struck me was how sincere David Miscavige’s thanks to me was for my performance. He communicated with a humility and a gratitude that was in such striking contrast to the typical Hollywood glad-handing that I almost laughed out loud with delight at how it made me feel. I felt genuinely and completely appreciated. As an artist struggling to succeed in what can be a brutal industry, that kind of personal validation meant the absolute world to me. He made me feel like I had truly helped and, as anyone who is given the opportunity to help others knows, there is no better and more validating feeling.
Funny, I have seen Miscavige in these sort of circumstances hundreds of times. He is the epitome of “typical Hollywood glad-handing” (which I have also seen up close and personal many, many times) — the “sincere thanks” from a “player” while looking you in the eye is catnip to an unknown artist like Will. Seabrook got suckered by one of the best at this game. Miscavige has a natural gift for charming people who don’t know him.
He then launches into the most important part of his butt-kissing. Spreading the lie that L. Ron Hubbard CHOSE David Miscavige as his successor.
Mankind is profoundly fortunate to have had a being like L. Ron Hubbard discover and codify the most fundamental truths of our existence. In my view, we are equally fortunate that L. Ron Hubbard chose David Miscavige to ensure that the Technology of the Scientology religion was safeguarded and shared with the world precisely as Mr. Hubbard had intended.
For the facts about Hubbard and Miscavige, read my earlier post: David Miscavige — NOT L. Ron Hubbard’s Chosen Successor

When I met Miscavige in Saint Hill UK he was secured by guards – a lot of body guards… and it told me that this guy is more death than alive… and that he will destroy what I liked in Scientology… and I think that I was right… Scientology is a good idea – unfortunatele with all this promises to OT powers, it is a cult of building only up clones of LRH… and let’s say something about: It is the ethics condition Doubt – if you have some doubt, and if you run it – you have to have to find out that Scientology is the only way to live… and so you became a clone of LRH… and so you became Enemy to others… und get in treason, because you could not say that – also not in the church… and the result of handling Doubt is in all cases always a Confusion… and as a result is every Scientologist in Confusion… and, but – the Condition below Condfusion is to take over a valence… and in Scientolgy you will have a clone of LRH…

I agree

How many times do I have to say it? Reputations have to be earned. Scientology has earned it’s negative reputation.

Mike,
Great piece indeed.
Reminds me of the first time I met Miscavage. He attacked me verbally in a closed space I could not escape from. But I couldn’t do or say anything because I knew it would be as if I’d done it to Hubbard himself since that is the policy. I knew at that moment exactly “who” Miscavige is and I wondered maybe he’s Hitler reincarnated?
Later when he took over I knew in my heart it was the end of the cult for sure.
Hip, hip, hurray Hitler, I mean Davey Boy. The most qualified SP ever.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
In an historic move, David Miscavige, assuming the condition of Power Change, has moved on. He has left a legacy of unprecedented expansion, making Scientology the world’s fastest growing religion. He has appointed one man to assume the mantle, his trusted enforcer and stalwart Scientologist, Mr. Marty Rathbun.
When asked why he had once spoken out against Scientology, Mr. Rathbun had this to say:
“I did it in an effort to stir up the field and ferret out the bad actors. It was a tough period in my life as I had to pretend to be a wog. I’m looking forward to carry on in the great tradition of Dear Leader.”
A Spokesperson from RTC briefed a select group of Sea Org members and assorted whales.
“I am here to dispel any rumors that COB has discarded his body. After decades of total dedication in furthering the aims of Scientology, he is enjoying some well deserved recreation time — jet skiing, wine tasting, and deer hunting in unnamed locations to ensure his complete security.
“Mr. Miscavige plans to eventually join LRH at Target Two, where he’ll help the Commodore destroy the psychs of Farsec, who have taken over a planet in our solar system.
“The goal: to clear Uranus.”
Before leaving, Mr. Miscavige turned over his hat, per policy, with the following instructions:
Beat ‘em
Bilk ‘em
Bullshit ‘em

I stand corrected but, is Dan Sherman really dead ? Because, every time that I read a comment or statement , supposedly , written by a scieno, it is filled with exactly the same wording and ‘bullshit’ flavour that spewed from Shermans’ mouth when he was still running around.
Aquamarine says
Danny Sherman the thetan is not dead. He has a new little boy’s body, the first born son of non Scientologist parents. (Be assured they won’t be Wogs for long.)
Yes, man formerly known as Dan Sherman, speechwriter to the illustrious Captain Miscabbage is now quite the prodigy, a miracle child. He is living now in the valence of his former boss.
Instead of memorizing his ABCs and otherwise lisping his lessons in first grade, he’s…well, its complicated, so let me explain it another way.
nstead of any long explanation the entire concept of what the former Dan Sherman is now can be understood by being briefed of his very first spoken words, at the age of 7 months, all of a sudden, while lying in his crib, astounding his parents:
“Mom, Dad, good evening, and let me preface by saying how glad I am to be here, and how it pleases me to assure you that, whereas I am at present a mere infant on the Genetic Entity line, I am, nonetheless, absolutely in possession of the necessary awareness and full conceptual understanding requisite to, as your first born child, having spearheaded what we postulate to be a long line of homo novus valuable final products to be presented as evidence of your own, continual, second dynamic actions. Moreover, whereas the body you observe now is tiny and needy, and notwithstanding the incontrovertable fact that who I really am is not this little body at all but indeed a powerful, immortal Big Being with the total potential to control all the dynamics of this universe and all other universe, nonetheless I would surely be remiss in neglecting to acknowledge, individually and together, the continual care and support, along various dynamics with regard to the albeit temporary but initially vital needs of this infant body of mine, which you attend, without fail, so assiduously. Thank you. Thank you very much.”

That is very clever Aqua. Spot on .
Aquamarine says
Thanks, you’re kind. Its a way to blow off steam, actually; a sort of therapy. I make myself laugh a little and feel better, not angry anymore. Still aware, not ever in agreement, but at least not trapped in anger. If whatever stuff I occasionally pour out makes someone else laugh a little, and feel better too, that’s nice to know.
