DM MUST GIVE LIVE, UNRESTRICTED DEPOSITION in Monique Rathbun's suit!

Miscavige has been deposed before.

Surrounded with attorneys who objected, obstructed, and derailed, he made it through without cracking.

Now, hopefully, Ray Jeffrey will be prepared for what he's going to face in that deposition room. Getting his question answered, and not being thrown off, won't be easy.

This time, Jeffrey has a vastly greater amount of evidence and experience to draw upon.

So we shall see. :)

Let's get this straight...Veda:

-snip-

What prompted that? :melodramatic:

Who have you been talking to? Oh, never mind. :confused2:

Don't need your assistance in getting anything "straight."

Thanks anyway. :)
 
Let's all chant it together:

"DEE POSE SHELLY, DEE POSE SHELLY, DEE POSE SHELLY!" :happydance:

I think it's appropriate to try and depose Heber, too, as the alleged "President" of the COS. :thumbsup:

It might improve their circumstances right now just on the outside chance that they MIGHT be called to Texas for deposition. Poor trapped beings... :no: Even to be ready to appear on videotape to explain to the Judge why they are "too sick to travel" to Texas to be deposed there in Mosey's case. :p

:clapping: HAH! I am not usually a cruel or mean person, but KARMA is a BITCH! :clapping: Today is a NO BURN DAY here in Riverside County because the particulate air pollution is too high for human health and safety. Tomorrow and for the next few days they are forecasting strong Santa Ana Winds, which always kicks up a lot of dust out at INT Base, with so many acres of tilled agricultural fields nearby it. Bad air quality, high winds and extreme STRESS = ASTHMA ATTACK!

I hope Dave is on INT Base today! :biggrin:

Also...COB has been hitting the hard stuff a great deal in the intervening years... don't you think that has had a degrading effect on his ability to cope under distress? :yes: I do!

There is an entertaining APP online called "DRINKING MIRROR" which automatically ages a person's face according to how many drinks they have each day.

After the Friday 13th order compelling him to submit to deposition, I adjusted COB's intake to 10 drinks per day.

Dave, LRH is calling. He wants you at Target 2.

Bye Bye.

Target 2 has special first amendment rights. Silly WOG judge needs to be educated on Space Opera / Intergalactic GPMs before this TOTALLY ANTI-RELIGIOUS Suppressive doctrine can be agreed to.

Ecclesiastical Pope trumps local dimwit Reactive PTS, um, SP.

Trufax, LRH specified you can be both PTS and SP at the same time. Marty's 2D is prime example. And the judge.

P.S. Don't read newspapers (except FREEDOM Magazine)

No. Then DM could offer a dollar and be done. There is no means in the American justice system to adjudicate what is enough in return for what Mosey suffered, so they remain free agents to accept or reject any offer.

The only exception would be if they both agreed to third party arbitration.

I don't see that happening on either side.

Monique originally asked for one million. If offered that and expenses
would she have to settle?

I don't think she would have to settle, but if I were her I would take that offer. With one big caveat though: I would not accept any settlement agreement in which DM and the cult say that they are not admitting guilt.

I'm pretty sure that she feels the same way.

If there is a settlement you know it'll come with a gag order.

Which means it probably won't be publicized what Scientology admitted to, I would think.

Yes. I would not agree to a gag order. I forgot to mention that as well.

Again, I believe she feels the same way.

Unpleasant for Miscavige, I am sure. But a few other factors come to mind:
1) It wasn't "hard" cash for him. It's easy money, provided by hard working cult automatons (aka "parishioners").

2) The cash component of the settlement won't cost Miscavige anything personally. He is well insulated by the cult's war chest and the payment won't even register as a blip on his personal financial radar.

3) Even if this falling domino ultimately triggers a succession of events that topple COB's reign of terror, he can quite easily retire to another post and take with him hundreds of millions of dollars. Now he wouldn't do that literally under his own name--but he would establish himself as the trustee and/or financial manager of the reserves--from which he could continue to embezzle funds and financial benefits, as he has always done.

I don't mean to paint a dark vision of Miscavige being in a win-win situation--because he is certainly not. His entire faux persona and worldwide reputation is at stake. He is rapidly becoming the laughing stock of world religions and this latest episode has irreversibly plummeted him into cult clown ignominy. That is very likely the most gruesome nightmare of all for a thug impostor who has strutted on the stage for decades, stealing the applause of adoring crowds for things he never did.

I think it is pretty easy to conclude that Miscavige's life has officially become a living nightmare. But I don't think it will deprive him of the means of living a jet set lifestyle, unless the US government steps in and begins freezing accounts in an effort to bring justice to the thirty year inurement feast that his gluttonous appetite has been feeding on, unfettered.

If I had to predict where this all leads to, I would invoke Hubbard's dire prediction that "…the world (of Miscavige) has at best five more years." I sense that Ray Jeffrey is just warming up to the task of a glorious Class Action Lawsuit brought on behalf of all former (defrauded) members.

Go Ray! We luv ya!

Go Mosey!
The problem for Miscavige is that he got caught harassing a woman who was never a Scientologist, did nothing to Scientology or Scientologist's and what Miscavige did was criminal. Even if he pays her off...it is all over the news and the internet and it will change his Operating Basis. Miscavige can't silence people anymore, he can't threaten them into submission, his game is over and it will destroy Scientology. I know the Catholic Church has their problems...but imagine if one article showed up in a news report that the POPE ordered a bunch of Catholic's to harass a wife (non Catholic) of a Catholic that was giving services in his living room and providing confessionals and communion? Just imagine what devout Catholics would do and think...and it would destroy their church! David Miscavige - you need to read The Way to Happiness again in a new unit of time and then write up your OW's and get a JoBurg. Then you need to make up the damage you have done to others and your Church ....and that may take a billion years!! Get busy...you will never have relief until you come clean!!

I would not take $1M now. Lawyer's fees and taxes will eat that right up. And I would not trust DM to keep his word, so I'd want both a war chest and a fine big enough to sting.

I would take nothing less than $10 M after the shit they've pulled in court.

She'll see maybe a third of the settlement when all is done.
