Clearly Marty is deliberately imparting disinformation.
And I speak as a fan of Marty. I feel sorry for him.
I have an admission to make.IMHO, this Thread is ESMB at its' very finest.

I think Marty is being held prisoner somewhere and is making these videos so we will help him escape.
He can't blink as fast as Monique Yingling so he has to make up stories that so directly contradict what he has previously said, that anyone watching will connect the dots and come and rescue him.
Random thought which I thought I'd share...
This thread is about Marty trying to slime decent people. Using lies coming from his dark place of messy cognitive dissonance, he is attempting to devalue and marginalise good folk (classic cult technique).
This thread is full of people coming from a very different place. There is laughter and love. There is humanity. There is no doubt in my mind that behind so many of the contributors to this thread there are "big stories". Big cult-related stories which take some juggling to carry through life with dignity and grace.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that though this thread is about something so dark and frankly to me, quite revolting, there is something so very very wonderful about what the contributors are bringing to it.
Does that make sense?
Hi Face. So very lovely to see you here.
Thank you all. This thread is making me smile.![]()
I really think Marty follows a script from DM; from viewing the videos Marty has to do a lot of looking down at notes, which is also odd.
--snipped--
So I think that is Marty's troika, Wright, Rinder and Ortega.
We'll see as these videos go on.
In viewing Marty part 13 video, he says at the 4:46 mark, that after he Marty now looks at this in a new unit of time..............and I see what he did (wright) and Mike Rinder and Tony Ortega, and we are going to get the IRS to revoke the exemption.
So I think that is Marty's troika, Wright, Rinder and Ortega.
We'll see as these videos go on.
Continuing on this vid by Marty he says that a 2 year period went on to verify with the IRS that scientology was a religion.
Earlier in the vid, Marty says the IRS checked into the Founder, LRH, taxes which he paid. This is ASI which was originally Hubbard's profit center which he paid taxes on, and later RTC got ASI to be non-profit. It's tricky.
What is ASI but originally Hubbard's profit vehicle to make money by selling books and lectures and whatever to a captive crowd known as scientologists even though he claimed he retired from running scientology (hence the meme Books make Booms).
I always wondered when I was hard sold to buy a book, it said Bridge Publications, why not just scientology, so who owned Bridge Publications?. OMG, this so confusing.
I love this sooo much, made me laugh my guts out, but unfortunately I don't always have time to avoid humour, hence I keep a good collection of keyboards (and beer), just in case, um, 'cause you know this comedy ain't ended by a long shot.

Long time lurker and I needed to tell you all THIS is the thread that hit home for me. So many of you have taken the time to not only say Marty is lying but dug out the actual proof and it has not gone unnoticed. I appreciate and value each of your posts on ESMB and applaud your honesty. Thank you all.

I have an admission to make.
Back in the day, I went along with the mantra, "What would Ron do?"
Reading the posts on this thread, I kept thinking to myself, Face opined, revealed,
forshadowed all I need to know about Marty years ago, again and again, post after
post.*
So my most current mantra was, "What would Face say?" :wink2:
You were and are spot on! It was so nice to have you chime in.

PS: *I felt the same way he did even though I never met Marty. But, I've done so many
Marty shoops, I feel like I do know him.![]()
Hmmmmmmmmm...one might wonder. I guess what I'd do is run-waddle back into my Bluebird motor home, lock the door and run to the mirror to check my cheap disguise to make sure my Groucho Marx mustache wasn't crooked and then I'd crouch down cowering and shaking behind my pearl handled revolvers and be real quiet and still until I was absolutely sure there weren't any black helicopters overhead. Once I knew that, I'd probably get up from sniveling on the floor long enough to find out that the threat had abated...then I'd down some pinks and greys with some rum and pull out a bag of cash or diamonds and count it just to still my quaking hands.
After that I'd make a wild midnight dash across the country or out to sea or something because my cover was blown and compromised.
Of course, all that would be interspersed with lots of masturbation.
I live by the motto "What Would Ron Do"!
...er...is it "Duck And Cover"?
Rut row. Could you imagine Leah and Mike discussing Marty's asinine lying foot bullet antics on Leah's t.v. show?.
If that is true ("Rinder"), uh-oh Marty.
You shouldna, oughta, not-a, done dat! LOL
Rinder will wipe up the floor with Rathbun if he's pushed into a corner. So far Mike has been extraordinarily graceful since the moment they split and set up two different blogs.
Even worse (for Rathbun) would be if he names ASC #3 to be a shared honor by team REMINI/RINDER. LOL. Then we will see dual nukes being dropped on Rinder's sad ass, just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I don't know who gets the honored #3 slot, but how unimaginably stupid is Rathbun to go to war with a Pulitzer Prize winning author (Wright) AND a Seal Team 6 Special Forces investigative journalist like Tony Ortega? LOL.
Maybe he's not simply stupid. Maybe he's KSW stupid! (Kamikaze Scientology Wacky!)

Real good point from 2013. Relevant now..At first I ignored it as an anomaly, when the COS (Crimewave of Scientology) got rid of Tommy Davis as the international spokesperson and replaced him with……..NOBODY! LOL.
Now all they do is just release written denials by a faceless cult attorney. They are very likely the first billion dollar organization in the history of the world where every single one of their members is afraid to get up and speak in front of a camera.

Wow, Marty is already up to PART #11!
One of my deep-backchannel leaking sources has let me have a rare sneak preview all of the videos in the entire series!! Thus I am both proud and honored to present to you some teasers of coming attractions.
SELECTED MARTY RATHBUN QUOTES:
(Part #49): "On page 167 Wright rambles on and on about Ron allegedly kidnapping his one year old child, Alexis, and fleeing to Cuba, where he terrorized his then-wife by sending her messages that he had murdered the baby. That never happened. Wright just made it up. Nobody got kidnapped. Ron was a Scientologist and no Scientologist would ever kidnap anyone! Hey, I would know! I was in charge of kidnapping!"
(Part #153): "On page 239 Wright babbles incomprehensibly about some lie that he made up where Ron supposedly claimed:"...I almost got run down by a freight locomotive the other day on Venus". Ron never said that or anything like that! Wright just made it up, never happened! Nada! Oh, and get this, then Wright claims that he heard an audiotape from 1952 where Ron said that. LOL. Listen, in 1952, Ron was in Philadelphia delivering what became known as the Philadelphia Doctorate Course--so he would not have had any time to be making audio recordings. And to make Wright's willingness to lie even more laughable, back in 1952 the technology didn't even exist on this planet to make audio recordings!"
(Part #204): "On page 314 Wright just flat out lies when he claims that eyewitnesses said that Miscavich was beating someone every day at Int Base. Never happened! Nobody ever said there were daily beatings! Then Wright even tries to claim that I was the one that said that there were daily beatings by Miscavige! Read my lips, did-not-happen! I never said that! And I can prove that I never said that, it's right on my blog from a few years ago and anyone can see it for themselves! It wasn't something I said--it was something I wrote! Hey, read it for yourself! This is not rocket science people!"
