Re: Young girl imprisoned, beaten and abused in Sea Org Headquarter, Dundas, Australi
I have no reason to believe he knows either of Lisa McPherson or the Lisa Clause. I don't know that he has any background in Scientology.
One big reason, of course, is that it would be malpractice to not know of these things.
It would be humorous, but it’s not reasonable that the Scientologists selected the most ignorant attorney on the planet in this exploding case. Alice is still alive.
Did they hire him the night before the ABC interview, because of his extraordinary ability to categorically deny just about anything? No, it’s much more likely that he had at his fingertips everything about this incident – Alice Wu in iso – that has been reported, including on these message boards, the facts of the case, and his clients’ history and reputation.
The level of either irresponsibility or insanity necessary for him to deny categorically what he denied can be seen in analogous situations with Mike Rinder and Tommy Davis.
Davis categorically denied disconnection. The irresponsibility or insanity necessary for Tommy to categorically not to have known that disconnection was happening all around him is simply beyond belief. Tommy did know, and when he categorically denied its existence he lied.
Rinder categorically denied ever being beaten by Miscavige. Now he says Miscavige beat him some fifty times. The irresponsibility or insanity necessary for Mike to categorically not to have known that Miscavige beat him is unfathomable. Mike did know, and when he categorically denied knowing he lied.
Stuart Gibson knows about Scientology’s iso tech and its most famous product Lisa McPherson, and when he categorically denied its existence he lied. He very well might not have any background in Scientology, but he speaks like a Scientology PR and performed here in the same capacity as Rinder and Davis, and now Pouw.
In Gibson’s case, even if he was so honestly ignorant or irresponsible that he didn’t know of isolation in Scientology, he lied by categorically denying its existence on what he had to know was no evidence.
We must trust Steve Cannane’s reporting, and the editing, but accepting the story’s accuracy, I remain convinced Gibson lied. He does fall back on instructions from his clients, but not where he categorically denies iso’s existence.
We’re considering clarifying the matter with Gibson directly, and will post our communication here if we do so.
