With the public exposure and effective running of traumatic group incidents reflected in the recent Tampa Bay Tribune’s ‘Truth Rundown’, an interesting response has issued from Mr. Miscavige: this manifestation of group therapy is an attempted ‘coup’. In actuality Mr. Miscavige’s description of what the articles and revelations represent is ‘propaganda by redefinition of words’. Do the articles and statements signify a ‘power push’ as mentioned in the Church Code of Offenses and Penalties? What is L. Ron Hubbard referring to when he uses the term ‘power push’? In a taped lecture on 19 November 1951, Cause and Effect – Part II, Hubbard defines the term ‘power push’. The following is a fair use quote from that lecture for academic and educational discussion purposes: “An individuation gives people power pushes. Every time I see somebody who is very worried about his own power, I see a man who is sick! “Another man will worry about his power as long as things don’t more or less stay in line, and he will encroach over on to somebody else’s liberty only to the degree that that person is encroaching on somebody else’s liberty. Then he will step back out of it. That is about the deepest you can go in incursion. “But an individual who tries to rule for the sake of ruling is a sick person, because he is scared. He does not consider himself to be cause, and he so distrusts individuals around him that he cannot be safe with them unless he has complete control of them and they are MEST.” An objective, rational observation of the facts of Mr. Miscavige’s rise to authoritarian control of the management of Scientology reveals a simple fact: he has executed a ‘power push’ as L. Ron Hubbard originally defined it. Considering that it is a phenomena of the mind that a being who is guilty of a crime tends to be the one loudly accusing others of such it is no wonder that Miscavige is now decrying exposure of his own coup by falsely assigning his misdefinition of ‘power push’ to the recent actions of ethical beings to restore Scientology to Scientologists. The intent of L. Ron Hubbard, as clearly expressed in his own words, contained in ample policy, trusts, advices and such, is that no single person, no ‘only one’, be an authoritarian dictator over the lives and activities of beings within the group that comprises Scientologists. The entire idea is a contradiction of the Free Being. Is the end result of Scientology training and counseling a society of robotic, cookie-cutter beings, with the same interests, abilities and viewpoints? Without question it is not. What did L. Ron Hubbard say about such an organization? The following fair use quote is excerpted from an article written by Mr. Hubbard in January of 1951 “Suggested Changes in the Organization of the Foundation” (taken from Research and Discovery Volume 5, Group Dianetics in the Foundation). “The only real threat to Dianetics is that its organization will be used for authoritarian power in the world. There is a black side to Dianetics which is seldom stressed but which is most uncomfortably real. Under its past method of management Dianetics was peculiarly susceptible to being taken over by power pushes and has survived two very serious ones only by the swiftest kind of management actions. Thus it must be designed for defense in depth against any type of push, and defense in depth with non-rigid lines is the design of the present proposed government. “Unless someone is empty-headed enough to want to rule the world, Dianetics will survive, spread and prosper. These proposals are designed as an effort to make it impossible for Dianetics to be misled by anyone. It has to be made safe from the foibles of man, and man had better be made thoroughly safe from any organization applying Black Dianetics.” Rather than a ‘coup’ or a ‘power push’ as declaimed by David Miscavige, the man who also states he is the one ‘uniquely qualified’ to run Scientology (a position invented by himself as it does not exist anywhere in the written and spoken words of L. Ron Hubbard and is in fact an utter contradiction of those words and the entire spirit and letter of the subject) what the recent Tampa Bay Tribune Truth Rundown represents is an exposing of David Miscavige’s very own power push. A power push as defined by Hubbard in 1951, by someone who must control others out of fear. One who must ‘save Scientology’ even from L. Ron Hubbard himself. The facts are David Miscavige is the one guilty of the High Crime, the Suppressive Act, of a ‘power push’ and the takeover of Scientology for his own aberrated purposes of a super-controlled slavery where he thinks he may be safe from his personal demons. Methinks the ladyfinger doth protest too much. It will be thanks to the actual materials of Scientology that Free Beings will speak and act to return Scientology to Scientologists. The recent Tribune articles are not an attack on Scientology or Scientologists, but an expose of an Anti-Social Personality, an Anti-Scientologist; David Miscavige. Written by Adam MacLennan |
