I'm doing a second post on Pt. 11, because Marty's review on Leah's segment about Paulette Cooper is an especially nutty ramble. He characterizes the episode as being a "mutual stroke fest" over "stuff" that went on, and it was stuff they were "tasked with abolishing," and that got "settled." No mention of what this stuff was.
Or, rather, he insinuates that Paulette's settlement was the result of an old story where Paulette Cooper "had a beef with Scientology and settled it." See folks? Cooper had a beef with Scientology and settled it. That's the whole story. Nothing to see here. Move on.
He doesn't mention the most basic things like Paulette Cooper wrote a book, or that Scientology framed her for making a bomb threat she didn't make. That's all part of the "stuff" that went on which is not worth mentioning, because it happened years ago.
Here are Marty's own words in Pt. 11, and the segments I'm leaving out do not clarify any of this:
The stuff she alleged, we were young men when we first got involved in handling this stuff. We were dealing with activities that we were tasked with abolishing, and did, at that time. And he's (Rinder) saying 37, 35 years later, "They will do this." And so it's this mutual stroke fest, this series which is degenerating progressively more and more into. So they're stroking Cooper for all this stuff she would settle satisfactorily 35 years ago, and acting as if Scientology will do those things now, right? With no predicate or basis.
It's this mutual stroke fest which is a creation on top of a creation. They're creating Paulette Cooper into something that exists in the present, and she's creating them as serving some useful purpose, and it's all just a creation of their imaginations.
Although he's getting caught up in his own jumble of words, Marty sounds like he said Paulette Cooper doesn't exist in the present. He is trying to deny that Paulette was followed and monitored by the cult years after she received a settlement, and with that he's suggesting the cult would never have anyone followed today, although he doesn't come out and say that. He just thinks his jumble of words will lead listeners to that conclusion.
Does Pat Broeker exist only in the past? Is Shelly Miscavige only in the past? How about L. Ron Hubbard, he in the past too, therefore not worth bringing up?
If Marty ever rambled this incomprehensibly when he was making an appearance on TV, being critical of either Miscavige or Hubbard, it was edited out.
I suppose that an analog for this series by Marty is the PR videos put out by Scientology where Scientologists enthuse about things, and often say total nonsense like, "I didn't know, but now I know." It's not about the content which matters, but you're supposed to catch the wave of enthusiasm and want to take that course or level to have your mind blown.
So the viewer of Marty's series is supposed to ride Marty's wave of critical thinking and knowingness concerning the critics of Scientology, which is bizarre because the cult has said he's a lunatic, which is backed up in part by this nonsensical ramble.
But I think it is an act. Marty is not imparting any "data." He's conveying a feeling and establishing a position. He is no longer a person who is going to criticize Scientology, Hubbard, or Miscavige, nor is he going to reflect critically on his own evolution or something as basic as what caused this shift in his thinking.
