OSA plays a numbers game. Just like a fisherman puts out line after line of baited hooks, OSA do the same with their various operations. And just like a fisherman, most of these lines they cast out don't work. The bait falls off the hook or the fish are too smart, but every now and then, they succeed in catching a fish.
Recently we saw *actual* programs written to discredit Tory Christman & Chuck Beatty. While it was very satisfying (yet horrifying) to read these and get something concrete, really it was no surprise to many to see that there were real live programs in existence. We've known all along.
Part of the value of seeing these programs was not only the relief to have certain suspicions confirmed, but it really showed the depths of the depravity that these guys have sunk to. Another valuable bit of information was the confirmation of Barbara Schwarz as a patsy (willing or unwilling - I'm not sure) but it was clear that she has been used as an OSA tool all along. It was also made clear that OSA will use its own blogs & sites to assist these DA operations on certain individuals. Religious Freedom watch is a prime example of this. But there are others.
Marty Rathbun Blog is one example of these other blogs. Note - this is NOT Marty Rathbuns actual Blog. This is a blog to DA Marty and his associates including Claire Headley, Mark Headley, Haydn James, Jason Beghe, Mike Laws, Matt Argall, Mareka Johnson, Mike Rinder, Samantha Domingo, Silvia Kusada and John Brousseau, Tiziano Lugli, Jonathan Burke etc. It also Black PRs Tom Tobin and Joe Childs from the SP Times (who are placed in a category called "Anonymous Cyber terrorists", and pretty much anyone it considers dangerous.
Barbara Schwartz's blog is another. Obviously Marty (the "fake" Marty or "Mosey's Husband" as she likes to call him) Rathbun & Mike Rinder are the main targets of her blog. Honorable mentions on Bab's blog include Myself, Tory, Chuck, Martin Ottman, Jeff Hawkins, Steve Hall, Claire Headley, Tiny Dancer (mod on WWP who was herself a victim of an OSA style operation a few months ago with the faked IP addresses from Marty's blog incident), Michael Pattinson etc. The list goes on.
You could almost make a list of OSA's "most wanted" from these three sites alone.
The DA on Mike Laws started about 3 months ago (from what I can gather). This DA includes information about Mike Laws being still "highly connected" to the Church and being the financial funding behind Marty Rathbun. This in itself is nonsensical unless you buy into the theory that Marty is on a church Op. It also said that Laws was wealthy before he left the Sea Org and that this "Plan" was being put into operation a long time ago. I'm not sure how anyone can be wealthy upon leaving the Sea Org. This tin foil theory says a lot of things that, if thought about, are logically impossible.
I have proof that this DA on Laws has come from the very highest level of OSA and has been passed along to a few Free Zoners who took it on board and ran with it, passing along their "knowledge" by backchannel means causing alarm amongst people.
Here are some examples of communications I've received recently, unsolicited, from the person determined to forward this DA:
What I find incredibly insulting about these "messages" is that they give ESMBers or critics in general no credit for any intelligence at all. It is presumed that we will all just *forget* history, we will *forget* all the questions we've wanted to ask Marty Rathbun. We will just welcome Marty onto ESMB and not feel like we can ask him anything uncomfortable. All because I asked for a little leeway for newbies. I'm still struggling to come to terms with the level of stupidity of this presumption. Also Marty Rathbun is as likely to land on ESMB as I'm likely to ever pick up the cans again. It aint happening.
If these are examples of the type of messages that have been passed along to other ESMBers on the back channel then the sensationalised events of the last few days are no longer a mystery to me.
But I made a mistake - a big mistake it seems.
There were two issues:
1. The FZ activists actively DAing a known and valuable critic
2. The lack of sensitivity to newbies out of Scientology.
Instead of handling each of these issues separately, they kind of got merged together and it went spiraling out of control. That was the mistake.
Had I taken the DA on Mike Laws more seriously and done the subsequent investigations I have done BEFORE the request was made to be a bit more gentle on newbies, I never would have done it. I would have seen the link more clearly and known the result would have been a disaster. I knew there was a link but I had no idea how deep the DA had gone.
So it seems to OSA right now that they have had a victory. A bigger victory than they had planned I'd imagine. If their goal was to discredit Mike Laws in people's minds then I guess they have succeeded to some degree. If they wanted to cause me hours of stress & duress then I guess they succeeded there too. They must be gleefully rubbing their hands together as they read the postmortems on Facebook where is is happily foretold that we are "tearing each other apart" and bets are being taken on "who will be next to go" etc.
But guess what OSA - You have succeeded in nothing important. You wanna know why?
When the bans are lifted on ESMB these folks may or may not come back but they will NEVER STOP SPEAKING OUT ABOUT YOUR ABUSES. They can go elsewhere if they want to (OCMB, WWP, Facebook etc). They can start blogs and sites of their own. They will still protest both physically and in writing the abuses you perpetuate on our fellow human beings on a daily basis.
Some folks might hate me right now, but they will always hate OSA more. They will always hate your human rights abuses more than anything I could ever do.
So while I'm sad and distressed at the moment about how things have turned out, it's a personal loss, not a loss in the game. You haven't changed anything. You've just made people angrier.
And for those who perpetuate this back channel DAing of ANYONE, check your sources first. Then check the facts because some of these theories have holes in them big enough to drive a truck through if you take a step back & really look at it.

OSA has chosen a formidable opponent. Can I have your autograph? Seriuosly though you have my admiration. 
) have already connected with me through Facebook and email. I never thought I would come to be so fond in particular who have a rather brutal opinion of Scientology, but I have, getting to know these folks has been a revelation for me, to not be so close-minded and 1-dimensional about "who is and isn't ok". Thank you for that, my friends
They know that if all the people who have left talk and compare notes, they are done.
