We know the bereaved family will be going to Clearwater where DM is. If that was not the reason for DM being in Clearwater in the first place, it will be a big reason for him to stay there. He will undoubtedly be all over the PR handling for this one. Perhaps this horrible loss could prompt another article on Scn's disdain for proper medical treatment? Where are all the Scientologists?

So we at least know where he is but do not know what he is doing there. Whatever it is he is working on, it doesn't seem to require his presence in Hemet, and it is too important or ballistic for him to bother much with the NYE event. Very interesting about the lack of execs at the event and the 2nd fiddle PR flack hosting it. And very strange indeed that DM himself would introduce such an odd video at the Flag event. Any other info coming in related to this event that confirms that the public are leaving and the collapse is really occurring?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-18020592399592562512008-12-31T09:01:00.000-08:002008-12-31T09:01:00.000-08:00Interesting point the other commenter made on Tom ...Interesting point the other commenter made on Tom Cruise.

He reserves himself for "big releases" and "big announcements" since he is totally slavishly dependent on such to maintain his "PR." Many times he has threatened to boycott an event if "the release" didn't make it. There always has to be something to release. <BR/><BR/>The crazy thing, and this is huge, is that all these International Events violate a specific LRH order. I posted about this in “Another Look at Scientology” in the previous week: http://anotherlookatscientology2.blogspot.com/2008/12/scientology-1-and-scientology-2.html?showComment=1230366780000#c3769204275590921778<BR/><BR/>LRH held the first “international event” in 1977. After that, he put out an issue (a CBO or “Central Base Order”) in the Sea Org that there were to be NO MORE INTERNATIONAL EVENTS EVER. LRH forbade them! Why? Because they suppress org stats and expansion... since everyone in Div 6 was ripped off post to prepare for the event, doing call-in, etc.<BR/><BR/>Since that point, until the late 1980s, there were no “international events.” There were just local events. <BR/><BR/>Then, after LRH died, what did Miscavige do? He launched an unending stream of events that take not only everyone in Div 6 off post, but all of International Management off post. Scientology became a hype machine, racing from even to event, instead of a delivery organization. The mission of orgs became “to prepare for the next event.” The business of management became, “to write the next round of speeches and videos.” And if you think top “management” has done anything else for years, you are uninformed. They’re just glorified speech writers and performers -- and bad ones at that since they all are forced to write in Miscavige’s own trademark (and horribly cheesy) “brag and boast” style. Miscavige personally micro-manages, rewrites, re-edits and approves every single speech and video.<BR/><BR/>Every international event that has ever been held in Scientology violates explicit LRH orders. Miscavige’s international events are the propaganda machine that he uses to generate the large donations that go into his personal pocket. <BR/><BR/>Also for info, Heber is viewed by Miscavige as a total failure. Miscavige LOATHES Heber and calls him "Grampa" out of derision. The main reason Miscavige hates Heber, of course, is probably because Scientologists love him. Generally speaking Miscavige detests and attempts to ruin any rivals and anyone who might threaten his power.<BR/><BR/>Heber basically does nothing important. He is considered “an old fumbler” and not to be trusted. In OSA, he doesn’t even have a real post. Before he blew, Mike Rinder told me he didn’t even know what Heber did all day. He just chats with his Baptist minister friends, etc., and doesn’t actually serve any useful purpose. However, as a last resort, Miscavige will use Heber as a speaker. <BR/><BR/>Was anything released at the event? I.e., book, tape, film or course?Thoughtfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065261563074075059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-34040466765881843962008-12-30T14:10:00.000-08:002008-12-30T14:10:00.000-08:00There are two theories, based on previous times wh...There are two theories, based on previous times when Miscavige hasn't shown up at one of his events.<BR/><BR/>First is that there is some huge threat to the Church of Scientology, on the level of a Lisa McPherson disaster, that he is off to "handle". There is nothing in the wind hinting of such a disaster.<BR/><BR/>The second, and most likely is that <I>something</I> went wrong with the event preparation and Miscavige had a huge hissy fit. He said "Fine! You do it without me, then!" and is now holed up somewhere, pouting. This is one of the "effective" ways that Miscavige is managing the Church of Scientology!<BR/><BR/>Whatever the reason for the no-show, it only points up how bad off the church is right now.Just Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700571144527474381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-23586016025642398872008-12-30T14:01:00.000-08:002008-12-30T14:01:00.000-08:00Do you think DM has flown the country with his ill...Do you think DM has flown the country with his ill-gotten money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
