As announced on Marty’s blog, the first Independent Scientologist wedding was held at Mike and Christie’s house in Tarpon Springs, Florida on Saturday, July 3rd. Mike Rinder was the Scientology minister. It was a joyful occassion to say the least and you will soon be able to watch it yourself on video.

On Sunday, July 4th, was the first Annual Independent’s Day party!  I designed a logo, a flag, and a couple of banners for the occassion. There was a pool party, great stories, great food cooked by Mike and even fireworks. While Jackson and Michael Laws were lighting fireworks, a PI hired by the Church rolled to a stop a few yards down the lane aiming for the fireworks and people who were standing in the middle of the quiet neighborhood street. The PI floored the accelerator. Jackson stood his ground and the PI swerved at the last minute failing to do any damage at all.

Coffee shop protest

So the next morning we all had coffee at Starbucks in downtown Clearwater across from the Flag training building and the Coachman Building on the corner of Ft Harrison and Cleveland.

Secretive Scientology security guards watched from a safe distance. As soon as they saw my camera, they scurried away which got everyone in our crowd laughing. Tiziano walked over and caught them trying to figure out who was present by comparing photos on a clipboard. He said I can tell you who's there. It's not a secret!

Dramatizing the missed withhold of near manslaughter from the night before, OSA took drastic action by demanding an armed SWAT team from Clearwater police... okay, come on I'm joking about the SWAT team, but these total goony birds DID call the police! Can you imagine how insane that must appear to the Clearwater police -- to call the police on a bunch of well dressed people having coffee at Starbucks? Oh, brother. Anyway, a lone officer arrived who pointed out it was not against the law to drink coffee. Jim Logan got in comm with him and he was a sharp and intelligent professional gentleman who clearly understood the real situation. This brings up an interesting situation which is the reality gap. When one refuses to deal in reality... what happens? Well, I'm sure if Rod Serling was here he would tell us that as one journeys into unreality he or she finally arrives at the last waystop: delusion -- as illustrated in the curious case of the Church of Miscavige. In situations like this, when the rest of the world is just dumbfounded at how whacking crazy the Church is acting, the DM-bots are doing high fives -- congratulating themselves for "putting in ethics!" It's no different from some guy just ripping someone apart in the city park... only no one else is there... and giving high fives to a tree. Everyone else is looking at him and thinking "Wow, that guy has been sniffing crazy glue."  The reality gap is getting wider and wider.

Of course we had a good time at our coffee shop protest with plenty of laughter, stories and smiles.

After the party, those with an early plane went to the beach while others went fishing. At Clearwater beach, the sea gulls swarm around like IAS regs after money.

I noticed that David Miscavige’s intentionally unfinished 12-year building project to scam Church parishioners out of hundreds of millions is still “incomplete” -- why finish it as long as it works as a cash cow?

And downtown Clearwater which once thrived is now largely deserted since no one is allowed to do any shopping. So much for supporting local businesses. Here is what actually happened: (1) Through RTC Reps David Miscavige declared going shopping “out ethics.” (2) By cutting off customers, he starved out local businesses and drove them into bankruptcy, (3) Any liquid cash brought by Scientology public could then more easily be re-routed into the pockets of David Miscavige via the IAS for “urgent Church programs and defense” but really so David Miscavige can live wealthy. Because Sea Org staff and public are not allowed to come and go freely, he is basically a slave-holder shielded by a cloak of religion, dealing in human trafficking and growing rich through extortion.

But alas, Miscavige’s master plan has backfired: the “friendliest place in the world” is a ghost town.

BTW, according to Shelly Miscavige before she “disappeared,” Dave was having an affair with Jenny De Vocht. God, it’s good to be free from that immoral, hellish perversion of everything L. Ron Hubbard stood for.

SPYMASTER MISCAVIGE CAUGHT RED HANDED (...again)

“1.1 -- Uses sly means of controlling others, especially hypnotism.

“1.1 -- Ingenious and vicious perversions of truth. Covers lying artfully.

“1.1 -- Nullifies others to get them to level where they can be used. Devious and vicious means. Hypnotism, gossip. Seeks hidden control.” (LRH - Science of Survival)

Ever hear the word “pretexting”?  Pretexting is a ruse where a private investigator lies about his identity or purpose to obtain data about another individual they can use to their advantage. This article is intended to warn you so you are prepared and won’t be caught off guard.

Pretexting is the act of creating and using an invented scenario (the “pretext”) to engage a targeted victim in a way that will likely result in victim divulging information or doing something that gives the other side an advantage. This is often done through a phone call or a text message. Examples to follow.

More than just a lie, it most often involves some prior research or setup and the use of assumed information for impersonation (e.g., date of birth, Social Security Number, last bill amount) to establish legitimacy in the mind of the target.

This technique has been used on myself, and on two other occasions when by a fluke I happened to be standing there: with Mike Rinder and another time Marty.

The ploy is intended to trick you into disclosing information such as your exact location. It’s run by private investigators working for Church attorneys.

A pretexter may use a variety of strategies to obtain personal information. In one scenario, for example, the pretexter might call an individual claiming affiliation with a phone company, survey firm or credit agency. In another scenario, a pretexter might claim to be a customer, client or employee of a company to gain access to phone or electronic records.

My experience

Last month I went to Los Angeles as a witness in an upcoming trial involving the Church of Miscavige

The night before I left, Miscavige wanted to know where I was so made seven pretexting attempts to find out where I was -- four text messages and three phone calls as follows. Now in their case, they mix it up with a little hacking:

At right is a photograph of that last text message I received.

In addition, there were 113 failed attempts to hack into Scientology-cult.com on the same day, a spike.

How stupid is this?

I think I know who they've hired for their PI work. Napoleon Dynamite... who sub-leased the work out to his brother Kip... who in turn gave the job to his moron Uncle, the one who lives in an old van. I mentioned by sheer cooincidence I happened to be standing with Mike and later with Marty when the Church pulled the same stunt. But how do I know for sure it was the Church? Well, when it happened with Mike, I took a photograph of his phone.

You'll note the phone number is the SAME.

The Church of Miscavige really is IN the news. But not in a good way:

Secret Extortion Files Discovered in Italy

May 20, 2010 - Suspecting the Church of violating laws regarding the handling of personal information, the Italian government raided the Church of Miscavige (Scientology) in Turin on May 20th and caught them red handed. Acting on a search warrant, the police went to the organization located on Via Bersezio and search for 9 hours. Hidden behind locked doors in the basement, they found a secret archive containing sensitive information on magistrates, policemen, journalists, former members and even the relatives of former members. The files included their sexual habits, health, political leaning, etc. Magistrates are now examining the materials but have already said they are "chock full" of sensitive information.  You can find more information here: lifeinitaly.com

Jan Eastgate covers up sex abuse of 11-year old girl

Now if you remember Marty's story about the 20 DM-bots sent down to Texas two weeks ago, you will remember that one of the people sent down there was none other than Jan Eastgate, the international head of CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) in Los Angeles. Of course, like all of us, you no doubt thought, "What kind of leverage does David Miscavige have on Jan Eastgate that she would agree to run damage control for him?"

Well, yesterday it turned up in the news that she allegedly covered up a case of sexual abuse -- involving an 11-year old girl who was raped. Eastgate is now accused of interfering with a police investigation by coaching the 11-year old girl and her mother on what to tell police and community services. She told an 11-year old girl it was her own fault for getting raped; that it was because of something she did in a past life. For more information, visit ABC News.

LESSON

These stories illustrate two things:

1) The liability of an organization with NO moral compass.
2) The futility of "dishonesty in the name of honesty."

Clearing starts within.

There’s a big difference between hitting a body and hitting a being.

You can’t hit a being... no location in space!

The same is true of the indie field. This is our strength. We are fabian because we are not operating on the third dynamic (groups). We are operating on the seventh dynamic (thought).

Miscavige is going mad because there’s nothing to hit. No solid target.

I’m sorry. I keep getting goony emails from plants urging us to work up a “plan” and an org board. They want us to decide “who’s going to take over after DM?” Etc.

But that’s not our problem.

There is power in simplicity and our de facto plan is embodied in simplicities: “Expose criminality.” “Put in order.” “Ignore the confusion.” “Connect up.” “Flourish and prosper.” “Ignore Dave.”

You KNOW Dave is uncomfortable with that.

Check out the Know to Mystery Scale. You will find “Not Know” close to the top. Exactly how will it all play out? We don’t know. We don’t need to know. Why? Because we are operating on knowingness not “MEST” (matter, energy, space and time).

Stripped of pretense, OSA’s phony emails to me state the problem as “the independent field has no management. No leaders. Everyone’s just doing their own thing.” Apparently, this is terrible. Horrible. Heinous. Hideous. Unacceptable.

Oh, I don’t know. Some say we’ve done quite well in less than a year. You might even chalk up a first-round TKO.

Maybe dumb-struck Miscavige can’t stand a field because there’s nothing in it to unmock. He wants us to form an official organization.

In other words, he wants us to form a solid target so we can be hit, sued, taken over and destroyed.

I say, no thanks.

We don’t need an organization. After 10, 20, 30 years as Scientologists you can bet we have long since internalized LRH policy. We form up, wear hats, get products and produce change without anyone every having to issue an order or a formal org board, without any leaders, without any management.

We use Scientology and operate on LRH principles while remaining totally independent, free and able. And happy.

We are not operating on the third dynamic. We are operating on the seventh and mobilizing the fourth to get ethics in on the third.

We will not make the mistake of being pulled down into a mockup so we can be unmocked.

We are OT by design.
