Alright. Thanks for getting back to me. Will do what you say. Have a good one, vacation that is.

Okay, Gib...here's a bit of a longer answer re: DM from my perspective.

I read Lana's Flow 1,2,3,O thingy...all very Scn-esque in style and "context" and all that but my Heart goes out to her for what most certainly was a MindFug experience.

I knew and interacted with Ron Miscavaige, Sr. I interacted with SM just before, shortly after he joined the SO and several times during his "ascension".

DM is not just "duplicating" El Ron...DM, in many ways, is cut out of the same cloth, cast from the same mold as Hisself.

DM, IMO, is not near as overall not in the same league of diabolical brilliance as El Ron. DM's forte identifying, isolating and taking out or neutering a target of opportunity...which, IMO, includes the CommodeDoor Hisself.

I can't resist commenting on this god-awful album "art". Everyone looks miserable, exhausted or at least bored. The lighting is a boring on-camera flash, like someone just popped in with their Instamatic Kodak camera from the 60's with flash cube attached. It looks like the film was developed and printed by a 15 year old developing his first roll of film, perhaps using Ron's state of the art tech. The set looks very amateurish, like a high school jazz band rehearsing in some kids garage. Hubbard looks like he recently had a stroke. This is how my father looked after he had his stroke.

I'm being critical. Time for me to write up LRH's O/W's.....

Like I've said before on this Thread, I couldn't F'n b-e-l-e-i-v-e it either the first time I saw it...and I saw it before the Album was manufactured. :melodramatic:

You're analysis of the photo and photog "Tech" is pretty much dead on the money. :yes:

El Ron may well have been having transient "mini strokes" by then...I dunno. Hisself had recently returned from his sojourn in NYC, F'd up Q with the Introspection Rundown and "Feelin' Hisself's Oats". In Hisself's mind, "This Planet" was Hisself's oyster...Whatta F'n fool I was. :bigcry:

You wouldn't F'n believe all the Sec Checks I got re: "Overts on, Unkind Thoughts about, Evil Intentions towards, MWH's about, etc, etc, etc, etc El Ron" when I was part of the "Inner Circle". :ohmy:

What a terrible photo. They all look like they are thinking, "Oh shit. He's going to make us re-do that 2 minute section AGAIN...shit, we're all going to end up sleeping in this room overnight..." :unsure:

EXACTLY!:thumbsup:

It seems to me that the same crease is on Hubbard's left arm twice. His arm is too short and his hand in the wrong place. In a normal photograph, at that distance, the arm would be quite large. So was this some sort of weird touch up? Could it be that his pic was sort of pasted in and he wasn't even there at all?


Nope. The Pic is for real. The coat is an oversize London Fog heavy duty gabardine Hisself picked up in the Big Apple while "under disguise". Take a closer look. :coolwink:

Notice that everyone else is dressed more lightly...the A/C in the theater was turned to max chill and they was all sweatin' it out folks. Such was the "Joy of Creating Art" with El Ron.


:lol:

And.....hey! This was not a "snapped" photo. It was staged and "art directed" so that everyone is looking away and only Source is "there", exuding his tone 40 Command Intention.

That's 'What Your Fees Buy'--a multi hundred thousand dollar vanity album by a mean old man in a baseball cap.

Scientology is exactly what it looks like. It isn't something else.

Your quote bolded above...

Funny, that brought to mind a similar quote I saw in watching the movie Scarface last night starring Al Pacino. At the end of the movie after getting horribly shot up with guns galore Tony's corpse (Scarface) falls from the staircase into the fountain one floor below in his mansion. The camera pans up and focuses on a neon sign enveloping a statue reading "The World is Yours".

Thinking about sec checks, imagine the lot of us and our so called "overts" on Hisself and how many endless hours "they'd" spend sec checking the hell out of us.

Shooting Stars, Part Nineteen, continued

“The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.” Stephan King

I was in the audience for a John McMaster Lecture and other Uber “OT’s” “Back in the Days”. I was enthralled, captivated and, quite frankly, mesmerized.

I was at the airport and private exclusive “Welcome Home Party” for one of the original Class VIII’s.

I was there the night the AOLA “Command Team” arrived and at the Special Briefing they held.

I heard the “Ron” stories told and—unfortunately for so many that I ultimately brought into Scn, the SO and commanded as Staff and regged the pants off as Public—I had not long before had what would later prove to be my biggest “Win” as a PC.

I had met Yvonne just after this and she had, in her special and wondrous way, enthralled me with the “State” of “Clear” and “OT”. Our paths, as I have written about on ESMB, crossed here and there over the next decade up to several days before her passing. She played a major role in my continuing in Scn, recruitment for Flag Crew and ultimately, in a subtle way, my walking away.

Yvonne was not a liar, she was not a shill, she was not a con but she was, as I later came to be, a fool for El Ron.

Yvonne was a brilliant, radiant, magical and completely unique fool. I was more of a semi articulate, presentable and adaptable fool…sort of a chameleon.

I don’t portend to fathom Johnny Mac, who I did not personally know but, I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, was a beautiful Soul and a fool for Hisself, as well.

Over the years I met, interacted with and sat in on briefings and lectures from a whole bunch of other fabulous fools—Old Dianteticests, ACC/PDC/SHBC/FCDC/ St. Hill/ Sea Project/ Mission Into Time Folks, Original Apollo Crew, etc.

So, what did all of us fools do?

To be continued…

Peace.
:yes:

Lol, well I didn't say it ever hit the turntable. I keep it because it reminds me of something very important; The Power of Remorse. :biggrin:

Which hand/arm are you referring to - his left or right? His left, in the photo is bent, with hand on the sound board, like someone playing the piano. The other hand, his right, in the photo - I can see farther out a bit of someone's hand, but I do not think it is his. That arm - if his - is way to long, from elbow on out to hand.
But the other one looks fine to me. I think. Now I am wondering though. :biggrin:

The facial and body language of those miserable sods is so telling.

I'm referring to his left arm. I'm seeing it as bunched up fabric along his wrist/forearm area and we are seeing a compressed view of his forearm because of the angle the photo was taken. There seems to be an "extra" piece of fabric that appears next to the crease in his elbow.

At first look it looked like another arm was coming out from under his arm.

Why the hell are we analyzing this??? LOLOL!

I s'pose it might be because we are still trying to figure all this shit out! :biggrin:

I mean, I thought the Bible was complicated with its self-contradictions and symbolisms . . . but Hubbard's sleight of hand drek !?! It takes the cake for sucking ya in!

Maybe the answer is Hubbard's own answer . . . don't try and figure insanity out: just recognize it's insanity! :yes:

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

But wait! I have examined the magnified photo of Ron's left arm and come up with something quite startling.

Anyone who has studied subliminal advertising knows that the most likely place to look for hidden imagery is in reflective surfaces or glasses filled with ice and such (really).

I have discovered Hubbard's subliminal campaign designed to sell Power Of Source albums back in the 70's when Star Wars and Disco was the craze!
