Hello ESMB peeps. I'm a never-in who has lurked here for a while; a reader and commenter over at VV/The Bunker for much longer.
I wanted to post a question that has me intrigued:
Could Tommy Davis' testimony in the Mosey case - if it is truthful - trigger the dismantling of the entire Miscavige regime?
My thinking on this began by re-reading this post at Mike Rinder's:
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/tommy-davis-and-jessica-feshbach-wtf/
Over on the Bunker, we were taking bets as to whether or not Tommy would tell the truth, or perjure himself under oath yet again.
Some argue that Tommy has no choice but to lie, since telling the truth would probably force his mother (and in-laws) to disconnect from him.
This, however, assumes that Miscavige is still all-powerful in that world and has the unquestioning support of all Scientologists still in.
But does he?
This is something only those still connected with active Scientologists can answer.
It seems to me that the seeds of discontent first stirred by Debbie Cook with her New Year's Eve email have flourished into a really colorful garden. And from comments made by certain exes who have their ears to the ground, I've gleaned that there are a lot of members - both among staff/Sea Org and prominent Public - who are quietly very unhappy with His Royal Insanity. No one has really rocked the boat so far.
But can the Whales and Celeb public really look the other way after the canceling of Maiden Voyage, the Sooper Powerz opening, the IAS anniversary and the GATII release? After Leah's public departure? It is becoming abundantly clear that the wheels have really come off the Miscavige Machine. He is now an embarrassment to those still in the cult - and those people are basically paying for his extravagant lifestyle.
Could some of these high-powered public (including, perhaps, Anne Archer and Terry Jastrow?) quietly encourage Tommy to tell the truth under oath this time? Thus dragging COB into the case...and perhaps providing a means to oust him from his position?
Does anyone on this board know of any whispers to that effect?
Thanks for your input.
