Obviously Marty Rathbun would like to position himself as Davey's 'OpTerm' (although, he's coy enough to publicly deny that while promoting the perception.) That's what all the 'Church of Miscavige is Dead' talk is about. 'Ignore It' is the message; supposedly because OpTerming means becoming the 'same'. Bullshit.
So, at the same time, Marty is positioning himself and his 'Independent movement' as the only real opposition to Miscavige, while he tells everyone he wants them to ignore Miscavige, because 'things are going on that you can't know about'.
It's easy to swallow the 'He's just afraid to be caught up in the arrests' story, but, really, what have Marty and his 'movement' done to damage Miscavige or his 'Church' at all? Meaning, something that wasn't *already* done and already being done and something they couldn't possibly *stop*, such as the revelations of physical abuse and corruption of the IAS etc.?
None of that was *originated* by Rathbun (or Rinder); they merely jumped on the bandwagon and claimed it as their own. What have they done? 'Gotten people out'? But, all they've really done is collect people who got *themselves* out and keep them from getting too *far* out.
No; any indictment of Miscavige, even for crimes committed *after* Marty and Mike left will inevitably lead to previous crimes. Davey can't be convicted without opening much wider avenues of investigation.
Why would you believe what Marty *claims* to be doing? What is it that you *think* he's claiming to be doing? I've been reading his swill since he went public. Nowhere has he clearly stated what his goal is. He's merely allowed the maximum number of people to 'dub in' what they *think* he's got planned, so that he can play 'leader' without answering 'quo vadis?'
