Jezzuzz, Face, that was not only hilarious to read, but actually very, very illuminating.

It is indeed a brilliant analysis of the scene :yes:

Thanks.

Rog

Thanks Rog.:yes:

Apparently Marty decided to prove my point again today with his latest Mayo denigrating so as to “Proof Up” his “On ‘Source-ness’”.:coolwink:

I think I need to start giving Da Monster and Spinnin’ Marty their due…El Ron will always be “Hisself” but DM and M will be “hisself”. Oh, and maybe El Ron should be “Sauce” and DM and M would therefor be “On ‘Sauce’”.:D

Shooting Stars, Part Thirteen

“Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.” Khalil Gibran

In the sweetly serendipitous irony of this Universe I was working on Part Thirteen this week when Marty, The On “Source”, decided to illustrate some of my points I was working on for this installment. In that vein, Martin Ruston and Robin Scott came forward to shine bright lights on Marty’s easel so that all could see his true colors shining through. Mark A. Baker was already doing a damn fine job of it, but, how wonderful and perfect it is for Martin and Robin to join all of Us here at this time. As I post this it appears that, possibly, David Mayo may now be here with all of Us and, if so, I’m so thankful I lived to be here with Y’all on this day.

Out of the millions of sentences and millions upon millions of words that comprise the Scn “Scriptures” there are, to me, 5 sentences consisting of 34 words every Scn and Ex Scn has read, and probably knows by heart, that if El Ron had only but heeded one of them the Scn Kristallnacht would never have happened.

Befitting the irony of the “Era of Gold”, these same 5 sentences and 34 words are, in part, what led me to being the recipient of 2 CMO “Special” Videod Sec Checks of over 50 hours total and concluded in a rousing couple of Gang Bang “Sessions” with not the yet fully “descended” David Miscavige and CMO “Children of the Corn” (COC). The Gang Bangs concluded when Miscavige sent a trio of COC pipsqueak minions to physically, if necessary, compel me to do something that I—in steadfast conscience—had refused repeatedly to do.

I informed the recently post pubescent COC’s that they’d better go get a few more Jackal pups ‘cause I was pretty damn sure I could do some real serious damage to the 3 of them and, once they layed a hand on me, they were gonna have to kill me to have control of where my body went and when. Being the good little Scn I was, I even quoted several of the 5 sentences from the “Scriptures” for them. Anyone that knows me personally knows that aint no brag; that’s just fact.

I’ll not delve into all the in and out’s of what the short term outcome was for yours truly, but I knew at that moment that the day would come when I walked away from my “next billion years or so” one way pseudo “Contract”...it was just a matter of time and "picking my spot".

A little later, just over one year, El Ron’s COC Jackals were loosed upon Scn and Scns. El Ron knew damn well what he was doing. The Ex Int Jackals would have you believe that El Ron was being “duped”. Shows how little they actually knew Hisself—El Ron played Hisself’s little COC sociopaths like a violin so well that some of them are still humming the tune.


Part Thirteen

Kristallnacht: The "Year of the Jackals”



“Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble.” L. Ron Hubbard, “The Code of Honor”.

“Unless, of course, you’re ‘Source’.” Face’s First Caveat

I have written fairly extensively on ESMB about some of the comrades El Ron deserted during the rise of the COC. Folks I knew; folks that gave Hisself years of faithful, arduous and diligent service. As I have written before, there is no one individual more key to El Ron’s 30 year “run for the Gold” than Mary Sue. I could write for days about the Urq’s, Roos’, Walters’, Samuel’s, Corydon’s, etc—on and on. However, I’d only be doing a 2nd or 3rd rate job of it at best as so many have written so much far better than I. I knew them all but was, for the most part, an acquaintance to good acquaintance to friend, not a close friend.

Mary Sue I knew in a much more casual and “down home” way. We had “trivial” chats sometimes. I grew up “country” and so did she. She trusted me not just to be around her but, more importantly, to be in close physical proximity to El Ron, her Children and even her pet pooch. I dined with Mary Sue a few times—on the BBQ or Mexican food I had prepared—listened to her talk about books she was reading, exchanged wisecracks and, on a few occasions, she would put her hand on my shoulder and say, “You’re a pretty clever cowboy, Face.”

In the links I have provided in early “Shooting Stars” installments are some of my posts re: Mary Sue and in one of those posts is the following:

“As the first Foundation fell, El Ron did as Hisself had always done—run for it. Only this time Hisself got away with the Ace of Spades—Mary Sue. This “Ace of Spades” would eventually turn upside-down for El Ron. You see, folks, one thing that I learned from my “Face Time” years with El Ron and Mary Sue is that El Ron could be absolutely “Brilliant” but Mary Sue was a whole lot “Smarter” than Hisself.”


An upside down Ace of Spades has various meanings from Fortune Telling to US Army Scout/Snipers in Vietnam to Prison Tattoos, etc, but the gist of them are; Sickness, the Hand of Death and Bad Ass M’fer, respectively.
.
El Ron deserted Mary Sue in every way with the exception of financially and, in my view, the only reason Hisself didn’t do that was the sheer terror of her “ruining” Hisself and sending him to prison. I’m certain that Mary Sue was a Major, Major Character in Omar Garrison’s ill fated El Ron Biography.

I, in no way, condone or rationalize what Mary Sue did for and in the name of El Ron and Scn. However, my “Take” is that she was a very smart, well educated and mannered, fundamentally decent woman that was “Soul Cracked” by a Demonic Evil Genius. In my view, there’s a special place in Hades waiting for the COC Jackals that ganged up on Mary Sue in her darkest and weakest hours, and a “Special” reckoning awaits El Ron’s “Mini-Me”.


“Never withdraw allegiance once granted.” L. Ron Hubbard, “The Code of Honor”.

“Unless, of course, you’re ‘Source’.” Face's Second Caveat

Allegiance is a two way street. The Year of the Jackals turned that street into a dead end, both ways. Within El Ron’s “Scriptures” are long prosaic passages extolling Hisself’s “Allegiance” to the practicing “Field” Scns (FS’s) and Institutionalized Scn (IS). In return, Hisself exhorted all of Us to hang together and give our hearts and souls to the forwarding of the common good. As long as we did that, El Ron proclaimed, Hisself would—IS would—never betray our trust.

The Mission Holders (MH’s) and Field Auditors and Luminaries (FAL’s) meant no ill towards El Ron and this is so well documented. Their problem with IS was basically, “Uh, El Ron, what’s with all these COC Jackals that we see running around and over Us lately? Would you be so kind as to have a little Pow Wow with Us so we can be brought into the loop and up to speed, and you can be given information that we think will help you be a better “Source”; the “Source” we think you want to be; the “Source” we need you to be.

“IT” had set a trap and Bill Franks was the unwitting lure and the COC Jackals were the jaws and the teeth. If any of Y’all don’t think El Ron was that cold, cunning and calculating then you are still, in my opinion, overwhelmed by the “Wall of Words”. The “Gotcha” was that the COC Jackals were, like their Creator and Master, not actually Scns and therefore didn’t have to play by the rules of the “Scriptures”. El Ron knew that the MH’s and FAL’s would, up to a point, follow the Codes, Rules and “Scriptures” and then some of them were gonna get pissed and have to be “put down” or put “on a pike” and the rank & file FS’s would buy the PR Shore Story BS and “hold the ranks” for IS.

I think that El Ron and Hisself’s COC Jackals were initially truly shocked—and frightened—about the amount of blood letting that was going on and then, after awhile and a few “successes”, were emboldened and even more “mad dog”. As I have learned and am still learning remarkably many, if not most, of the MH’s and FAL’s that were set upon by El Ron’s Jackal Pack did not falter in their Allegiance to their fellow Scns and set about the task, step by step, of trying to salvage and forward their life’s work. These were a big bunch of the folks that Scn actually came from; these were the last of the herd of horses that Hisself had ridden in on.

I know this sounds harsh but, the way I see things, any MH or FAL, or for that matter Old Guard, that hadn’t walked away by the mid to latter ‘80’s at the very latest probably wasn’t “worth their salt” or worth being set upon by the Jackal Pack. I'm sure that some here will disagree with that last statement so please let me clarify—I’m not necessarily talking about a “Public Pronouncement”; I’m talking about quietly and functionally “slipping away”…which is what I did before I finally walked out the door for the last time, and I see no dishoner in that in lieu circumstances. I see things a little bit differently when it comes to FS’s and I’ll pick things up there in the next installment.

What the FS’s of that time didn’t realize was that they were next.

In a week or so,

The greatest prose I have ever read has always tended to leave me speechless.

Yours does that.

Thank you sir.

Face, what you put into words adds such a clarity to that time period and what was happening.

So many, like I, had feet on the ground and maybe a little skin in the game and were getting slammed this way and that knowing more was afoot than we knew. And it was.

At least now I know why those parts and pieces - if not chunks - got torn out of my ass and for what... and now for who.

Thanks man.

One thing EL Ron feared is that there would be those who saw through his deception of playing invisible dictator, and breaking the hypnotic strangle hold .

You have done it Face ,illustrated beautifully.

I love the caveats.

Hmmm, NOW I understand WTF went down and why in '82-'83.

Thanks, Face.

I honestly thought it was a few idiot nut-jobs who should never have been given any positions of power. But now we see it was Hisself and his scheming all along!
