Over the years, David Miscavige has gradually been positioning himself as not only the “anointed” one, but as the actual successor to L. Ron Hubbard in every way.
He is not only the “Finder of Lost Tech” and the originator of “Command Intention” he is now mandatory to “acknowledge” in all “success stories.” If you fail to recognize and thank “COB” it is treated as a bad indicator that you are disaffected or perhaps a plant. They sell the water and whatever else that “COB uses” at Flag like it is the American Dental Association seal of approval on your toothpaste.
And now, the final step. “COB quotes.” For decades “LRH quotes” have been a “thing” in scientology. The old saying is “what would Ron do?” and that is supposed to resolve all problems. Now we have “COB quotes” being circulated as if they are infinite wisdom. Amazing. 10 years ago there isn’t a scientologist anywhere who would have ever considered scientology would be promoting anyone else’s quotes than L. Ron Hubbard.
But here you have it in black and grey. It appears they even paid to have it run in “World Religion News.”
The transformation is complete. Next step for Miscavige is to have to “move off the lines” (when things got too hot, Hubbard disappeared and went into hiding) to “finish compiling the OT levels into issuable form” as he cannot get the job done when distracted by lawsuits and endless negative publicity.
The sheeple, who would assert how “on-Source” they are have been so hypnotized and blinded they would not even notice. Amazing.
sara says
With Captain Miscavige redefining himself as ‘source’, it appears that his toxic personality has taken over completely what’s been of any rationality. We can now expect him losing touch with reality alltogether.
sara says
Error: read … ‘what’s left of any rationality …
Dean Fox says
I now have my pre-ordered copy of “Ruthless, Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me” thanks to the link provided in the email letter, copied in the Underground Bunker, from Johnson solicitors to the publishers in the UK on behalf of David Miscavige. without their link I would not have known how I could pre-order the book and to them I am thankful. I look forward to reading an insight into how David Miscavige became the man he is.

A quote from $camology that makes (even if it’s crap and and appears to be written by a 8 year old child) sense? I had to look twice to make sure it was true. All it proved was that Demento is a imagination and intellectual free booze soaked zone.
Over the years, on a side note, I have become more and more convinced that Demento is a closet gay and nothing I have seen dissuades me from continuing that feeling. He’s in love with the clueless one (you know, the one who does impossible missions).

knatherthomas says
DM has scrambled the tech into unrecognizable gobbledygook. The ultimate is of course having OT VIIIs go back to Objectives. If only these OTs understood that the purpose of Objectives is so the auditor can see whether the pc is complying to the auditing commands and ensure the command is done. Subjective (think) processes are not to be done until it is clear a pc is consistently executing the auditors commands. So not only are these OTs being checked for compliance after all they’ve successfully completed, they are expected to have cognitions/realizations/wins that show case gain. Theoretically they are being shoved back into their erased banks OR their banks survived and even beefed up during all that auditing or the whole thing is an endless circular mind fuck.
Ann B Watson says
Hi knatherthomas, Good to meet you.I like the last answer behind door#3! “The endless circular mind fuck”.When I really think about it who needs to pay over & over for the newest emeter from the cult’s endless supply.Just scourge up some OJ cans copper wire and look in the mirror! Instant cognition! Laughter,Always,Ann B.
Aquamarine says
I actually just shuddered at your excellent explanation of the necessity for Objectives Processing, Knather. I’m grateful that something – back in the day I wasn’t sure what it was, some instinct boiling up in me, something – made me stubbornly refuse to redo my Objectives. I would NOT be persuaded, and every approach was tried on me and yet I wouldn’t give in. I didn’t know why but I did somehow simply know that I did not need to redo this auditing action. Angel over my shoulder, whatever. As for those who have agreed and are redoing, God help them while they’re getting “shoved back into their erased banks”. (Shuddering again.) Thank you for articulating beautifully what I “knew” but couldn’t say!
Friend says
Intention of objectives is to bring you orientated into present time .. later in the work of Hubbard he described present time .. today it is described as the actual moment .. also now .. but if you go fixed into the now .. you would be crazy, stupid, an idiot ..
If you read and hear Hubbard then you should know that the reactive mind is able to put everything into present time .. activates it now as an actual thing .. although not really there .. signed as aberration .. called your bank ..
If you are getting fixed into present time .. something which everybody is doing second by second .. millisecond by millisecond .. you cannot have a win .. impossibe, because you have done it all the time ..
Basically is present time the time span you decide as present time .. if you expand the time span of present time .. you can have wins .. which is the basic goal of objectives ..
So auditing can work .. an OT VIII should be able (my thinking) to put whatever he want into present time .. so he has not to be orientated in present time .. because he makes present time ..
If someone has made the objectives correct, it would never never neccessary to redo it, which means you cannot have the same cognition twice .. today is said you should be orientated in present time .. but this is crazy .. you are always orientated this way .. your ability and responsibilty grows up as more present time you have ..
As I said somewhere .. God’s present time is maybe all times in a millisecond ..
Crepuscule says
No he’s not. That would be L Ron Hubbard. There is any amount of evidence to prove this. One could, for example, note that the very first item in the “Code Of A [Sea Org] Petty Officer” is “uphold command intention”. In terms of generating cash, there’s 440 ED 146 INT 20 Jul 71 THE BEGINNING AND MAINTAINING OF A BOOM wherein “Command Intention” appears as a separate heading under which L Ron Hubbard makes it clear he is referring to booming “GI”. Then there’s L Ron Hubbard’s definition of the Flag Representative Network which states, among other things, “the purpose of this network is to safeguard that those actions necessary to the prosperity of an area or org are implemented and continued … [and if prosperity is declining, the Network is to locate] … the why and/or the who that is slowing command intention …” There are any number of further references which date back to L Ron Hubbard’s time.
In 2009, Marty Rathburn made an argument that “command intention” had become usurped by Sea Org Captain David Miscavige. Basically, the argument was linked to L Ron Hubbard’s instructions with regard to propaganda by redefinition of words. Marty asserted that “Command Intention” had previously been defined as L Ron Hubbard’s intention and that Miscavige had redefined the term to now mean “DM’s intention”. Perhaps this is what you are referring to now but, rest assured, David Miscavige is not the originator of the term.
Roger Wilco says
Seriously… DM as “source”? It’s as legit as any other thing that decrepit, old creep L. Ron Hubbard ever came up with, which is to say complete, utter, made up nonsense. OT3, OT8, OT156… done of it matters. None of it is true. None of if works. Ever.
When you build crap upon crap, year after year, you have simply accumlated, well… crap.
Welcome to scientology.
statpush says
Just once I would like to see a journalist ask something like:
“You state that Scientology works 100% of the time, that it is an exact science. Yet, here we have Ron Miscavige Sr, who had been practicing Scientology for over 40 years, and by your own statements he is incompetent, lazy, horrible person. If those statements are true, clearly Scientology did not work. Both of these claims cannot be true.
How do you explain that?”
(Uncomfortable pause…)
Outsider says
Miscavige launches himself across the table and starts strangling the journalist. “Here’s how Scientology works, you dumb fuck!” he yells.
“Help! Help!” squawks the journalist. To his surprise and relief, the Clearwater chief of police enters the room, pulls off Miscavige and puts handcuffs on … the journalist.
“Shall I arrest him without charge and put him in the newly created Florida State RPF, Sir?” he asks obsequiously.
“Of course, you asshole. Until further orders come through” says Miscavige, dusting himself off. “Now get me the president, you CICS!”
The President of the USA enters the room and salutes. “Media entheta confronted and shattered … DONE!”
“Call me Sir, loser! You! Other loser!”
“Yes Sir?” says the chief cop.
“Put this CICS in the United States Hole!”
“Yes Sir!” says the chief cop.
“Oh well”, thinks the POTUS. “I guess I pulled it in.”
Miscavige grabs the journalist by the collar and pulls him close so their noses are touching.
“It looks like Scientology DOES WORK, dumb fuck!”
I Yawnalot says
He’s sexist too. “… so that he’s more intelligent,” In this day and age of political correctness, religion still seems to favor a swinging dick!
The blind leading the blind has taken on monumental assertions around Miscavige. Up to this point their basic truth has always been condensed into money for the dwarf, now it’s just how dumb & dumber can we get, their measurement scale apparently has no bottom. Just being stupid is now a very expensive luxury to a Scientologist and is the silent motif and attainment goal for their elite.
All in all at the end of the day, anyone that follows and actually believes anything Miscavige says requires a “special needs” approach to their relationship to the term, sanity.
Shelley Jackson says
DM has been methodically executing historical revisionism of the church for years. This is evidenced by the total eradication from all records of many former founding SCNs including MSH and virtually the entire Hubbard family.
It became apparent to me years ago that DM was moving in the direction of replacing LRH as source & this was even more evident to me when I joined staff. In Joburg org, it was compulsory for all staff to watch DM’s 2003 briefing to staff when Joburg opened it’s Ideal Org. I spotted this as a major red flag at the time.
Despite LRH stating in KSW “number one is done” (having the correct technology), DM stated the same thing when he revealed the basics/GAT1 and other releases. This did not go unnoticed by me and a couple of others.
I remember being told that in order to handle difficult public while trying to confirm them for an event, one of the handlings was to tell them that non-attendance was viewed as “an insult to David Miscavige”.
Yep, he’s definitely the new “source”.
Espiando says
DM became Source officially with GAT 2. He’s now playing a waiting game. He’s just waiting for the Hubbard die-hards to leave or die off. At that point, he can officially be acknowledged as Source. Of course, his problem is that he’s impatient. He can’t wait for the Hubbard die-hards to die off or leave. That’s going to cost him.
So what next? He’s going to have to come up with an OTIX and OTX. But he still has to sell them as legitimately Hubbard. So it’s time, like a lot of the Tech experts say, to pull stuff out of Creation of Human Ability and the mid-fifties lectures and turn them into an OT level. That buys him the time he needs for his waiting game. OTXI will all be from the New Source, and no one who’s left will complain.
Valerie says
As long as we are quoting people:
“David had closely aligned himself with L. Ron Hubbard. When LRH died, some people thought that Hubbard had appointed David as his successor, which I am certain is not true. Here is why I think so: Throughout his life, Hubbard wrote down nearly everything in longhand, including the vast majority of the thousands of church policies and technical bulletins he wrote. He even wrote whole books in longhand. He recorded thousands of public lectures and thousands more briefings of executives. He kept a small cassette recorder next to his bed in case an idea came to him in the middle of the night. Yet he said not a word about arguably the most important decision of his life—who should carry on his life’s work. My opinion is that Hubbard left no plan for succession. Here was a man who wrote everything down. He couldn’t have scrawled a note on his deathbed that said, “I hereby appoint David Miscavige as my successor”

I can’t find a copy of Ruthless to buy anywhere at the moment. It’s either going to be a bestseller or (and I wouldn’t be in the least surprised) $camology is trying to buy every copy, no doubt under orders, and destroying them. I’m leaning towards the latter so I guess my prepaid copy from Book Depository will show up eventually. No, I don’t use ebooks because I have some photophobia, and I like the feel of a book when I’m reading.
T.J. says
It’s available on Amazon books. I searched for “Ron Miscavige” and it shows his book Ruthless is in stock and available for shipping.
McCarran says
Plus, why would LRH have an Exec Strata and checks and balances and not david miscavige.
Also, if what miscavige claims about LRH appointing him his successor, then LRH was wrong. Anyway one wants to slice and dice it, david miscavige as the leader a religion is a huge mistake.

Anyone who has left Scientology has shown a higher intelligence, so congratulations Dave! Keep advertising that in Weird Religion News. There will be more and more people exiting, all demonstrating a higher intelligence than those that stay!

And then there is the cannibalism part of Christianity, which got me in no end of trouble with the nuns. They don’t get to have it both ways. Either Communion is the literal flesh and blood of Jesus, which is what transubstantiation holds, or it is just bread and wine and a metaphor for it.

I’ll quote anyone I damned well please:
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Issac Asimov, 1980
I Yawnalot says
The US does not have exclusiveness to that little gem of a quote. It speaks volumes of many cultures. Democracy is it’s own contagion.

Brian says
I have always thought Miscavige would model Ron’s end of life issues.
In Scientology, there is no universal ethic except “the greater good” which is no universal ethic at all.
The “greater good” in authoritative regimes, like Mao and Hitler, really means promoting their ideology and destroying those opposed to it.
As a result of continuous harm done to people, Ron and now Dave, must avoid like death itself, the karmic results of their conscious deception by going into hiding.
It is interesting “hiding” is down near or at the bottom of the tone scale. Yet these two men always hide from the cold light of day.
It is interesting that Ron decried electro shock, yet consciously wished for it at the end of life.
Because Scientology has no Dharmic moral, the Scientologist has no guide line for moral behavior. This in essence is ignorance of consequences.
Because Ron only worshiped the individuate ego will, he never knew that his actions would have a causal relation to his end of life issues.
Ron, in Scientology terms, was Type 3 at the end of life, wishing upon himself the very electro shock he warred against his whole life. Can anyone say KARMA!
This is Dave’s ending as well.
The karmic boomerang of all harm done to families, all the betrayals, all the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and all the deceptions and lies have a consequence.
And because Scientolgy is “not interested in wog morality” they deny any cosmic standard of decency that instructs us to leading a harmonious life.
L Ron Hubbard needed Visteral injected in the but to quell his madness. A madness that he created by all the harm he created.
David Miscavige will have a similar end. Especially made for him. Tailor made by his own actions against common laws of decency.
This is the dangers of Scientology: considering karma part of some implant or theedy weedy Christian moral.
The justification of and actual harming of critics will continually build up a karmic boomeranging force that will bring David Miscavige to Type 3 end of life issue.
David may have enough money to avoid and hide from Society’s legal justice.
But no amount of money can hide him the the inscrutable laws of nature; karma.
In a hidden by the wayside street, in his hidden mobile home, LRH came face to face with the law of karma he so arrogantly denied; check mate.
Brian says
To OSA onlookers:
You have been duped. Deny what I am saying at your own peril. You may not get what I am saying now because your learned behavior is that I am an SP.
But know this: there will be a time you will remember my words. Their are consequences to breaking common laws of decency.
These laws do not give a rats ass if you agree or understand them. These laws are impersonal, just like the laws of gravity.
You may feel and think you are above these laws because all “truth” is a personal consideration.
I would suggest that if you jump out a window, the laws of gravity will not give a shit about your opinions and considerations.
Break these laws and they will break you.
justmeteehee says
This is a keeper.
Still on your side says
“I would suggest that if you jump out a window, the laws of gravity will not give a shit about your opinions and considerations.”
Those still in do not believe you. They are similar to the naysayer who jumped off the Empire State Building and yelled at the 50th floor, and again at 10th floor, “see, you were wrong, I jumped and I am still alive!”
Ann B Watson says
Hi Still on your side, Godd to meet you.Sadly you are spot on regarding still ins.Although I got quite a way down the path of becoming so beaten down in all dynamics by ethics etc,I feel some still ins will not even perceive that when one jumps out a window,eventually the body will hit the ground.You know I just thought that Ron who was in my time and really Scientology as a whole,no-one respects the power of the human body.The power of healing.It is so amazing,but first one has to realize the body works in tandem with the mind and my spirit is above those two.Just my experience with cancers and other stuff that bites me in the night.
So I try and take care of the first two,my soul knows all the rest anyway.When in Sea Org my own ability to control body,mind and Thetan was given away by me when I signed that contract and taken away from me as the years went on in SO.
Thank you for sparking my post back.xo Ann B.

bob90805 says
As I understood it the purpose of Scientology was to de traumatise people using workable mental processes. The morality was the greatest good for the greatest number of people not just the greatest good. Perhaps Ron to some degree and Miscavige infinitely more so more so, confused workability with authoritarianism. All tyrants have this problem. Mahatma Gandhi said “When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always.”
Valerie says
Even by scientology teachings, hiding is pretty darn low on the tone scale.
How good can your life be if it consists mainly of hiding?
Aquamarine says
No good at all, Valerie. In fact, it must really suck…oh, wait…
Old Surfer Dude says
Well, when you’re a little sissy boy, like the dwarf, hiding comes naturally…

And to think I had just taken a toke of some very nice Indica while sipping a light Pinot Noir out on my deck. Honest to your God, I try to never, ever take living at the beach for granted. It’s always a great day when you live by any beach. And, Sneaky? Us Old Surfer Dudes can surprise you every now and again! That is…when our arthritis ain’t acting up. There a song that’s used for ads that I think is great. The lyrics are: I’ve been a poor man and I’ve been a king,
I’ve had the world and my life on a string,
I’ve been down so many roads, but I’m so far from done,
you don’t know, there’s so much to live for
La la la la la la la la what a day to be alive!
All of us who are out, celebrate like mad! My home will be your home when the time comes. And yes, what a day to be alive!

What a day to be alive! Yes, double yes yes. The only time you ever get is NOW, this moment. And when you fail to cherish and enjoy it, it’s gone forever. And though he appears to be in the driver’s seat, the aging DM lives through each day without love, without friendship and, worst of all, without JOY

COB Quotes, That’s going to be right up there
with Adolf Hitler Quotes. I’ve never written a success story
praising the COB and other horrible things like never donated for an IDEAL anything.
I worship Debbie Cooks E Mail, I’ve decoded D’M.s YSCOHB, know where HEBER
is locked up and address of the Newest Hole. I should be in TV commercials for
XXX Beer as the Worlds most interesting SP !!!
Newcomer says
You have my vote Jose. I think you should do a Chris Shelton interview. We’ll save the beer for the party at OSDs beach party!
Jose Chung says
I will when I have my book completed.
AlI can say is it will have the COB doing
a Rodney Dangerfield ” Your Killing me,Your killing me!”
T.J. says
I agree with what Newcomer said, Jose Chung, I’d love to see you do a video with Chris Shelton, he does a great job. To second what you said, I also think Debbie Cook’s email rocked! What an amazing letter, and it made so much sense.
Debbie’s New Year’s email, along with the “letter from Garcia” are two must-read items that every Scientologist should read in their entirety.
The Church depends on limiting what people read and hear about the organization in order to maintain loyalty and control. But an intelligent person should read and listen to and consider everything available and evaluate it personally, to aid them in deciding what is best for them. If one only has partial or incomplete information, how is one supposed to make an intelligent choice? This is really a big way that the Church maintains control of people, by limiting information.
Old Surfer Dude says
BAD NEWS!!! That beer that was for the beach party at my place…..Hey! I was thirsty!

True story: every time I see ‘Jose Chung’ I remember an old friend of mine named Blanca Wong. Her mother was Mexican, and gave her the first name of Blanca and her father was Chinese, so she had Wong as her last name. Kind of like Jose Chung, eh? It wasn’t until years later that I realized that Blanca translates to ‘white’ in english.
Ann B Watson says
Hi T.J., Your stories are the best therapy for me! Thank you always.I really do try to look into the face of all I have been thru and probably will have to go thru as a learning adventure and the glass would be half full even if all was not good in my own world.I came to this after years and years of fussing crying and being a negative lone wolf as regards my life.Right before I found Mike’s Blog I realized I had the power to change myself for the better,so I started working on bringing out of me the qualities I wanted to try and emulate.As OSD so brilliantly stated the Universal longing to be treated by others the way you would want to be treated was something I am still threading thru my journey wherever it may lead.
T.J.,you and so many here help me all the time.If I could not laugh I would cry so much and I have done enough of that.Loved your post about Bianca Wong.Priceless.XOXO Ann B.

Absolutely right Old Surfer Dude! Your posts always get me thinking. This time about the nature of dictators. This site is greatly enriched by your presence. Many posts today are getting my brain more engaged. Thinking about your list, I’d probably want to add quotes by Warren Jeffs, the current leader (in prison) of the FLDS (fundamentalist polygamous Mormon sect) to this bunch of folks that you named. He’s said some amazingly ridiculous things, yet his followers blindly, mindlessly obey. The whole subject of crowd mentality and loyalty to corrupt leaders is a fascinating one.
Old Surfer Dude says
Once again, my CRS is acting up. T.J., of course, you’re right! Warren Jeffs the pedophile raping girls as young as 12. Also Moses David (the name he gave himself) of Children of God. I used to see them in Honolulu. They practice sex with children and with relatives. They’re now known as ‘The Family.’

Mike Wynski says
He’ll run it the same way as El Con did. Come up with garbage called auditing processes (via channeling El Con), get people to do them and rave about them ( a la Emperor’s New Clothes) and all of a sudden he’s Source.
Old Surfer Dude says
All of us were running Hubbard’s case….
I Yawnalot says
Some caught it, some didn’t but it does run pretty damn fast. Like a few girls I knew.
Old Surfer Dude says
Next time you run into that situation, just get on a horse with a lariat, run her down and hog tie her. That a good way to start off your courtship….
T.J. says
Dauntless, defiant, and resolute?
I Yawnalot says
Sounds like a list of British Frigates doesn’t it?

Yee hah! Ride ’em cowboy…
Newcomer says
And now we get to take on dear leaders case. It’s pretty easy though ……… He responds like the ash tray!
Ann B Watson says
Hi Newcomer, Oh my I can’t stop laughing! Love U Ann B.
thegman77 says
OSD, “All of us were running Hubbard’s case” was my OT3 cog! LOL One of my favourite dial wide FNs. LOL Of course, that isn’t what I told the examiner.
Old Surfer Dude says
Laughter! Let me say, you are now flat on OT 3! Congrats, thegman77!
GTBO says
Now that is proveable bullshit I guess he has become “Sauce”.
Old Surfer Dude says
Ooooooo! What kind of sauce? I hope it’s a white, clam (our relatives) sauce over linguini with a nice bottle of Chianti.
TrevAnon says
And liver. 😛
Old Surfer Dude says
Silence!
Alice Graves says
At the very least he has it running through his veins.
I Yawnalot says
He’s doing just fine and is safe in his position just as long as he doesn’t help anyone go free or have any cognitions of freedom or anything like that.
SILVIA says
David is as degraded as his followers. He needs to adjust his blah, blah to things that LRH said in the past, maybe change one or two words, but LRH’s concept after all and, then, promote them as his own.
However, he and his blind followers missed the point that miscavige wouldn’t have crated a .000001% of words, far les technology, on his own.
He pretends to be someone that is not and lying to oneself is worse than accepting adoration from a bunch of blind, indoctrinated, and in terror human beings.
Willie AKA Good Old Boy says
“He pretends to be someone that he is not” I don’t think so Silvia. He is your typical Marcabian SP out in the open and hiding nothing. It’s his followers that can’t confront evil and can’t get rid of him. Most of them are just returned BT’s in bodies and are not complete thetans at all. What a joke.
T.J. says
Willie aka Good Old Boy your post reminded me of something about LRH and his creation of Scientology that I read somewhere: apparently the theory went that due to his Aleister Crowley connection LRH had some black magic influenced type ideas infused in his Scientology so his “thetans” were actually “satans” said with a lisp, the cross symbol with a sideways “x” was the smybol of a “double cross” and his O.T. levels were “Obedience Training” each one to further instill belief in the unbelievable and cement allegiance to him, and the O.T. VII level was where people were supposed to be so well trained that they self-trained themselves every day to stay obedient, that’s why they stay on that level for years, because after one reaches OT VIII, there is nothing more and they have to be well trained to remain in once they see that’s it, plus the many years on 7 puts off the inevitable, so that they keep paying. I thought the “Obedience Training” meaning of O.T. was pretty interesting, worth a thought or two, although any Scientologist would probably be outraged to hear of that theory, unable to entertain the thought that they were being trained to be obedient, or that they were reinforcing this on themselves at level 7. eh… One of my favorite quotes is: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle
Aquamarine says
Interesting comments, T.J. In my latter years of being Clueless In The Cult, I did note how unquestioningly obedient the upper OTs seemed to be, although I put that down to the superiority of their awareness and wisdom due to being on OT V and above. Love the Aristotle quote btw.
I Yawnalot says
That’s very good TJ!
It always strikes me as ridiculous that not all that many people can see the elephant packing freshly roasted coffee in the middle of the room. NOTs and everything about it, its derivatives, set ups ad nauseum etc have been invented, packaged, advertised and endorsed by the Church of $cientology since the early 80s and with Hubbard nowhere to be seen. Oh, a mountain of stuff emerged with his signature (typed) on it but the spots of the leopard have been visible for some time surrounding Miscavige, his RTC and his influence and intentions for the lives of others. He’s one evil MF! The whole packaged band of OT levels sold and “delivered” since the 80s is his re-branded concoction and I’ve done it plus I’ve never met anyone who’s ever been happy with it.His GATs killed everything else off as well. Hubbard’s been dead for decades anyway.
Anyone here vouch for the OT levels the Cof$ delivers? I sure don’t.
It’s a fucked up trap to get you introverted and keep you that way. They were never designed to free you, they were designed to do you in while extracting every last cent you’ll ever have or can ever borrow.
Aristotle was clever, he sure had his moments didn’t he?
Ann B Watson says
I I Yawnalot, Y’all are killing me this Sun! Thank you. Archived your post and love the image of ” the elephant packing freshly roasted coffe in the middle of the room”!
I always look for your posts.Love them! xo Ann B.

Hi I Yawnalot, Edit edit Ann.xo
Xenu's Son says
It seems David Miscavige has received more ridicule in the last 12 months than in his previous 30 some years.Going Clear,Ruthless,Leah’s Book,My Scientology movie,SNL.his Wikipedia entry.
It is funny to feel compassion for those poor deluded souls that are still in who disconnected from you with lightning speed.They have redone new OT7,purif, basics,done the pts sp course for the 12th time.
and things just get more and more messed up. Not many people are strong enough to admit that they were fooled.
Aurora says
You mentioned his Wiki page; reminded me how amusing it is to visit the history of Edits there…titled Revision History!
Aquamarine says
“Not many people are strong enough to admit that they were fooled.”
That’s exactly how I comfort myself when, mentally cringing, I recall something I said or did back in the day, with good intentions, that was just soooooooooo stupid.
T.J. says
Aquamarine, please don’t beat yourself up for it. 🙂 The important thing is you are out now, and not under that mind-set anymore. Look back and see and understand, but don’t feel soooo bad about it. Don’t we all make mistakes in life, do things that turned out to not be the best choices, and feel foolish at ways we acted or things we said or did? I know I do! Every day, lol. :-p Sure we regret, we see our errors, but’s It’s ok to forgive yourself, we are only human after all, and who you are today and your actions today are what is important and real… oh darn, blame O.S.D. for this – his thoughtful “post of the day” got me all worked up. I’m done now. 🙂
Aquamarine says
Thank you, T.J., for your kind and sensible advice. I will take it. 🙂
thegman77 says
TJ and Aquamarine: ” Don’t we all make mistakes in life, do things that turned out to not be the best choices, and feel foolish at ways we acted or things we said or did?” That is called living life, learning, improving. Life is not something to be lived “perfectly”, whatever that is. I still cherish what was good for me about scn, including my beloved wife. Thirty eight years and counting!
roger gonnet says
too bad for Davy, he got 25 points under me and certainly many more!!
Cognited and Out says
Does Miscavage get auditing? Solo audit? I think no, so how does he not lose all credibility?
Mike Wynski says
Cognited and Ou, Because DEEP down, most scn’ers know it’s all B.S. and thus ignore that with Dear Leader.
Jose Chung says
David Miscavige holds onto wires connected copper ground rods
at Bldg 50 at Gold Base installed special for COB auditing.
Children are forbidden to come near the COB as he is deathly afraid of
Childrens BT’s leaping off them and sticking to the COB.
Ann B Watson says
Hi Jose Chung, I love this post.xo Ann B.
Jose Chung says
Dear Ann,
Behold the Truth, if I invented lies they could not top this.
Ann B Watson says
Hi Jose Chung, I know what you mean so well.When I look at all the books past,present and future concerning cos and those who left.When I look at all I have read & experienced here,and when I look at my Sea Org Ron story, it does seem so fantastical that the whole scam has gone on this long.
My realty is I know it has continued on as much as I wish that fact was not true.I believe what you posted about cob.I was trying to picture him becoming panic stricken at the thought of a baby or child anywhere near him.I got the giggles…xo Ann B.
thegman77 says
Just think, Ann, if not for scn, we wouldn’t be having all these great theta friends, all the laughs and the certainty that DM is not even a blip in history. LOL
Dawn says
“Does Miscavage get auditing?” When I was still a gullible koolaider, I thought Miscavige and the other Int execs were all minmumly OT 8, even perhaps OT 9 and 10!
clearlypissedoff says
LRH reached OT 10 I understand and is up on some other planet or something, chasing Xenu. I can only hope DM gets to that same level as soon as possible.
Ann B Watson says
Hi clearlypissedoff, Yes to your great post.I hope Zenu hitches a ride on a very fast comet or asteroid ( are they the same?) do not put me in charge of any kind of space vehicle btw.Anyway when Zenu hops on then Ron and then DM can jump on at the tail.Off they go in a flash of Karma! Your posts have always made me think and feel for those still in cos.How I wish they could see what is missing within the melt down that is cos today.
xo Ann B.
T.J. says
Right, shouldn’t the Leader of a group be at the highest level? To know whereof he speaks? What O.T. level did D.M. reach? Does anyone know?
Ann B Watson says
Hi T.J.,Iwas thinking about your post and I thought what level do I think dm has reached as an OT? Well the only one I came up with is the highest level ever released yet. He has the ability to make all your money disappear,so he gets the level OT CK or OT Cash King.Seriously I would like to know if he has done alot of auditing or not much.I honestly do not know either.xo Ann B.
Jose Chung says
David Miscavige was removed from Auditor Internship for Slapping his PC.
This is fact and documented.
Auditing not much better, to quell rumors to this question David MiscavIge
declared himself a “NATURAL OT” ( the only one in the Universe)
So that handles that right ?
Ann B Watson says
Hi Jose Chung,I am archiving your post on dm.All handled wrapped up and ready for thr trash methinks.Thank you for all your informative great posts.xo Ann B.
Mike Wynski says
DM got to NOTS from what I remember. But anyone can read the levels to see what they say. No need to “run” them to know, except for being less messed up than a person who runs them.
Newcomer says
He needs to redo his objectives.
Aquamarine says

Sejanus says
What a little egomaniac.
Old Surfer Dude says
Tiny. Not only tiny, but, tinny, tiny, little egomaniac. So small you could trip over him…
(Loud whistling sounds) Come little egomaniac. Hurry! It’s time for your little nap…
gato rojo says
Yes, The Tiny One. We used to have to do drills at Gold, all 450 of us staff at a muster, where we’d “fall out” of our muster formation and mill around. Someone would pretend to be Mi$cavige and start moving through the crowd walking at his typical brisk pace. You had to “be aware” of where he was in the crowd at all times and make sure you did not get in his way, slow him down in the slightest or appear rude if he passed by you. True story.
Ann B Watson says
Hi gato rojo,Thank you.I post about my time in SO, but I love to read about those who were with dm.True stories about Ron, true stories about dm,I really think we are onto something big! xxoo Ann B.
Good People says
Holy Shit that’s messed up.
Old Surfer Dude says
And, GP, you’re one of the few who knows shit’s holy! So is Toledo. As is mackerel. Same with crap and moly. We’re surrounded by holy icons…..
Aquamarine says
Gato Rojo, what was the purpose of that? Meaning, DM or someone pretending to be him walking briskly thru the Gold crowd while they milled around? If the purpose was to inspect, why not just keep everyone at still and at attention while he walks around?
Doug Sprinkle says
You’re too funny OSD. Scientology’s next website will be
http://www.whoisoldsurferdude.com
Old Surfer Dude says
Old Surfer Dude has been a water man since he was 3. He started surfing where he lives at age 13. He started surfing Hawai’i at 15. And….wait…what? Doug is actually not writing my bio? Crap! He would have done a great job!
T.J. says
I’ll finish the bio! … these days Old Surfer Dude once again lives on the beach, and in his spare time enjoys relaxing with an occasional glass of wine and pursuing his many interests including gardening and playing music at local community venues. He also posts humorous yet insightful comments at a Scientology discussion board where readers enjoy his comments which often brighten up their day and give them a chuckle, and he has accumulated a large fan base of followers who look forward to his daily posts and often refer to him as O.S.D. although they have also been observed at times to accidentally mis-spell his name in various ways such as Old Suffer Dude, Old Supper Dude, or Old Surfer Dud. 🙂
burnedbutnotbitter says
Even when I was still-in, I would’ve thought this was weird…
statpush says
This issue with the quotes has been going on for a while. I first noticed it about 5 years ago when I received a piece of promo from Int which had a quote, but contained no reference or signature. I wrote it up to the RTC rep at my AO. The next occurrence was a ludicrous quote and in tiny print at the bottom attributed it to the Int Landlord. Again I wrote a report. Nowadays it seems they’ll quote anybody – as long as it brings in the dosh.
McCarran says
“Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely” has become almost trite it’s used so much but david miscavige has become the personification of it. Once given power, I guess someone has to have some basic goodness in them to prevent this phenomenon from occurring.
Welcome to the “Power Corrupts….” club, dave. Your image has become irreversible as anything other than this. Except – also – you look like a dick.
Aurora says
‘I write all this to make what I think is the central point of my story: there is a world of difference between what I found workable in the actual philosophy of Scientology and how David has twisted it to his own ends. How did it come to this? How did a young boy who was an affectionate, happy, bright kid with a great sense of humor and a desire to help others grow into a man who surrounds himself only with people who suck up to him and lives a lavish lifestyle while those who work for him live no better than medieval serfs? What is the catalyst for such an unfortunate transformation?
I have concluded that it is the acquisition of power. Some who come into positions of power may be able to remain whole and true to themselves, but my son David has demonstrated beyond doubt that he is not one of them.’
from Ron Sr’s book, as quoted at The Daily Beast.
Dr. Strabismus of Utrecht says
Sorry, Shortarse—you’ll have to come out with something pithier than that piece of windbaggery if you want to go “off-lines”—but then you’re full of wind and pith anyway.
Old Surfer Dude says
Hmmmmm….David “Windbaggery” Miscavige. I love it, Dr. S!
Dr. Strabismus of Utrecht says
Thanks! Better than David “Public Buggery” Miscavige? 😉
Old Surfer Dude says
Wait…No…No it isn’t. David “Public Buggery” Miscavige is much, much more accurate that the ‘Windbaggery” Miscavige.
Wognited and Out says
Well, Scientology did not work for David Miscavige and according to Scientology – they are saying it did not even work for Ron Miscavige for 42 years.
Amazing they are so stupid and hateful they would admit that.
My frineds brought that up after they watched 20/20 on ABC.
They felt Monique “rock slammer” Dingaling Yingling – made Scientology look evil, cold and heartless. IT IS!
Ron Miscavige comes across very authentic, sincere, sweet and real. We fell in love with him and give him our total support.
Thank you Ron Miscavige – for exposing the truth about David Miscavige. Scientology creates the monster – it is the tech and environment.
Chee Chalker says
“……so he can handle his life better.”
Really? This is quote-worthy?
LRH had some word salad doozies, so COB will have to step it up to match him.
How about….. “…so he can handle his life more capably”.

Deep Thoughts
by David Miscavige
Valerie says
And in all honesty, shouldn’t it read David Miscavige quoting Dan Sherman.
JustLook! says
Thanking COB? May the foot bullets continue!
Back in the good ole days I clearly recall people complaining about BTB’s/BPL’s or staring at the initials at the bottom of the HCOB’s/PL’s or complaining that their “Letter from LRH” wasn’t a real letter from LRH.
The Scieno’s may be brainwashed but they’re not always stupid and some have a very strong need for authenticity. LRH was source, period.
Forcing folks to show reverence is bad juju. Even as a totally indoctrinated Scieno, I thought the hip hipping or long term clapping for LRH was just stupid. It was fake and non-spontaneous. IMHO forced respect or forcing acknowledgment eventually generates RESENTMENT, which will push people further away.
DM is starting to look like a hero.
john johnson says
I can see it coming. COB is going to commission the production of a small red book of his (COB’s) quotes similar to that of Mao Tse Tung and sell it to Scientologists everywhere at $1k a booklet.
Chewkacca says
A careful reading of DM’s “little brown book” (full of shit) with a word count, will show that swear words outnumber regular words three-to-one
Gus Cox says
Hell, I’m waiting for ol’ four-foot thirteen to commission a bust of Himself, so that all the dupes who are still in can can applaud Him.
Lawrence says
David Miscavige MOST CERTAINLY has achieved his own quoted moral. He only drinks 4 days a week now instead of 7, and only assaults people 12 times a month instead of 19. Now that is a higher level of ability. 🙂
Valerie says
@lawrence, I remember years ago my ex husband once telling me he had cut way back on drinking and smoking, he now only drank a bottle of scotch a day and only smokes 2-3 packs a day. I did not burst into a full guffaw until I hung up the phone.
That being said, I would have believed that more ecclesiastical beatings and more sacramental scotch would mean a higher level of achievement in David Miscavige’s world. I must be confused.
Lawrence says
It can also be looked at that way too. People such as David Miscavige that pretends to be setting a good example for people but really isn’t had better think again. HIS thinking is really confused (to say the least).
Steve44 says
“YSCOHB”
– COB
Simi Valley says
Dang! I was gonna say that. And CICS.
Old Surfer Dude says
COB is, in fact, a CICS who SCOHB. i mean, he’s talks about that so much, it’s got to be true, right?
Sejanus says
He likey has it delivered to his chamber.
He doesn’t like getting out much anymore.
He is too cozy hiding in his pillow fort.
Valerie says

“YSYSYS”
