If you look at the Scientology biography page for the top exectuves (http://web.archive.org/web/20080119...ogy.org/news-media/biographies/miscavige.html) there are a couple of very curious things about it and about Miscavige's bio. First, the fact that there are bios for all the main execs, whereas the exec bio page now only lists the public relations staff, and Miscavige has his very own page on the Scientology and RTC websites. The original versions of the Scientology and RTC websites (1996-2000) don't even bother mentioning Miscavige, and only featured a "message from the president" Heber Jentzsch. Third, on the archived bio page above, Miscavige isn't at the top of the list but the 5th one down.
I know people who defected from Int said that Miscavige was always in control, but was it all more "democratic" or consensus driven back in the 80s and 90s? That's how it comes across above. Because if Miscavige was a dictator back then, why wouldn't the execs have defected much sooner?
Even weirder is that if it was always a dictatorship under Miscavige, that the only execs would let him get away with that since he has never had legal grounds to micromanage the other orgs and projects that are not under the administration of RTC. According to the RTC website, RTC is not part of the management structure of the Church: "Religious Technology Center is not part of the management structure of the Church, nor is it involved in the Church’s day-to-day affairs."
That's pretty weird because he calls himself the "leader" of Scientology and from all accounts Hubbard did not want Scientology to have a single central leader (like the Pope) because that would undermine his position as founder and source. So Hubbard was supposed to be the only leader the Church will ever have since the Int execs only exist to carry out his policies instead of running things on their own. This is contradicted by Miscavige since puts out new policy all the time and the other execs around him then must have helped put him in that position.
What's weirder is that if the accusations are true, then the Int execs carried out Miscavige's policies for years without complaint or opposition, and crush regging for services and IAS fundraising fanaticism existed back in the 80s and 90s based on what people tell me.
The only difference I can find is that Miscavige started beating the bloody hell out of everyone at Int and sent them to The Hole and thats why they left. But it seems strange that out of the blue in 2002 Miscavige would start getting violent and go to insane extremes to imprison and torture Int execs. If true, that shit had to have been going on long before in the 90s, maybe even earlier. And nobody fought back or called the cops or FBI or IRS or anything while this stuff was happening which makes no sense since Miscavige is not equal to Hubbard and is just some flunky whose job is to protect Scientology copyrights and make sure orgs are getting in KSW.
It makes no sense because the feds will raid religious compounds if there is even a hint of violence or illegal activity going on but they've not raided any Scientology orgs in the US since Snow White. One Sea Org guy who showed me some ref about Super Power where Hubbard says that the ultimate goal of Super Power is to run it on government officials and make them into Scientologists and take over the US, and we started talking about collapse of government for some reason and he mentioned that Int has stockpiled plenty of weapons and they are ready to protect the base in case the shit hits the fan and anarchy breaks out. Just the suggestion that they have stockpiled weapons would have the feds raiding a long time ago.
What gives?
