It is always amusing to read scientology's hagiographic musings about their fearless leader, Captain Miscavige. He has a website dedicated to him and the same content is repeated in the special section devoted to the COB on the Scientology website. Nobody fact checks the claims made about him, Scientology operates on the principle of putting out so much garbage and lies that nobody can keep up with all the falsehoods so they eventually become true. Here are a few glaring examples, taking the statements right from their website: Barely a year after entering the Sea Organization—the religious o … [Read more...]

According to L. Ron Hubbard, David Miscavige is a Suppressive Squirrel
"For some years now we have had a word "squireling." It means altering Scientology, offbeat practices. It is a bad thing. Squirreling is today destructive of a workable system. " L. Ron Hubbard HCOPL 14 Feb 65 SAFEGUARDING TECHNOLOGY A reader recently prompted me to look up LRH EDs about the release of OT VIII. I came across LRH ED 301 Ron's Journal 30 from December 1978. While it does not say what he had recalled (there may be something else that does that I have not yet located), I was struck by some things that have often been commented on as sidenotes, but if … [Read more...]
How Many Pictures of Captain Miscavige is Enough?
The latest edition of the International Scientology News magazine arrived in my mailbox, and apart from the glossy puffery and fake stats, what was most remarkable was how many times they felt the need to show Miscavige’s face. Of course, he is the focus of the cover of the magazine supposedly celebrating the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard. His plastic smile and lacquered bouffant appear 16 more times -- with 4 of these full page glamor shots, as well as the back cover taken from behind him on stage. I would be embarrassed by this level of brown-nosing, but that is not an emotion felt by s … [Read more...]
Disseminating Scientology is Simple Thanks to Captain Miscavige
It is amazing all the things Captain Miscavige has personally provided these powerful scientologists to enable them to "not only boom the org but truly achieve St Hill size." Obviously these otherwise awesome people are NOT using the brilliant tools Mr. Mickiewicz has toiled and labored so hard to bring them, as scientology orgs all over the world are shrinking rapidly. How long is it since Miscavige has announced a "St Hill Size org"? 20 years? The last one I recall was Joburg org -- that might have been 2004 or 2005... Yet, reaching St Hill Size is the target for all orgs -- not just … [Read more...]
The “OT Bubble” Miscavige-Movie-Thon
It seems scientology has reached new depths of cult-leader worship. Captain Miscavige has officially become the only person who matters in the world. The source of all wisdom and inspiration. The man who can do no wrong and may not be questioned. It is he, and he alone, who is "keeping the show on the road." It was he who was "gearing up for planetary expansion" (as he shut scientology down harder than than any circumstances required, mostly to cover up the fact that the "Chase Wave" required wholesale removal of registrars and executives to avoid a catastrophic prosecution). And … [Read more...]
Captain Miscavige Doing His Thing
We all knew that despite his protestations to the court that he really isn't a Florida man, Captain Miscavige has been hanging out in Clearwater for some time. He did the New Year's Event at Flag and now we have confirmation he also conducted the "March 13th" event in celebration of "Ron's 112 birthday"... Chicago is basically the only thing happening in the scientology world right now, so there are 3 different renditions of what the great man imparted to his faithful flock of mesmerized sheeple. First, from our old friend Dave Parker -- the first ED of the Chicago org back … [Read more...]
Captain David Miscavige Is Served
Everyone with an interest in this is probably already aware of the fact of the court order issued yesterday in the Baxter/Paris human trafficking lawsuit in Tampa. You can read the full order from Magistrate Judge Julie S. Sneed here: Order declaring Miscavige served I wanted to have this document recorded here at my blog even though this is not new news and Aaron Smith-Levin put it on his YouTube channel and Tony Ortega put it up on his substack yesterday. I have a few comments about this and some excerpts from the ruling that I feel are worthy of note. First, this was a fairly … [Read more...]
The David Miscavige Film Festival
Oh, what could be more fun than a David Miscavige Film Festival? Sitting for hours (punctuated by the obligatory standing ovations to prevent dozing off) watching Mr. Mickiewicz spout Shermanspeak proclaiming the great accomplishments of scientology taking over the world. I can imagine those who show up (perhaps because they are doing lower conditions?) feel this vibe: Back in the "good old days" of scientology this would have been "L. Ron Hubbard tape plays" or perhaps showings of the Hitchman Interview and Clearing Congress Films. These are the only visual presentations … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Shelly Miscavige
Today is Shelly Miscavige's 62nd birthday. She has been disappeared for the last 15 years -- one confirmed sighting at her father's funeral (with a handler) in 2007 and nothing certain since. Once a fixture of the scientology world, at her husband's side virtually everywhere he went, she suddenly vanished in 2005. I write about her and her vanishing from the Int Base in my book A Billion Years. Shelly is not the only person at the senior echelons of scientology who has been erased from public view (so too the President of scientology Heber Jentzsch, Executive Director International … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Is Doing Business in Florida
A new article by Tracey McManus reports on the contacts between David Miscavige (Mr. Mickiewicz to his friends) and the former and the interim City Manager of Clearwater. Remember, on 27 December, William J. Schifino (former head of the Florida Bar) and 2 Washington DC lawyers from powerhouse lawfirm Williams and Connolly (Joseph Terry and Krystal Durham) made "special appearances" (cost is no object when it comes to defending the COB, why use one lawyer when you can hire 3?) filed a motion claiming that Miscavige has not been properly served in the Baxter/Paris lawsuit. They claim he was … [Read more...]
