Scientology Leader David Miscavige Files Declaration in Texas Lawsuit

Tony Ortega: Scientology Leader David Miscavige Files Declaration in Texas Lawsuit
http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/01/sc...miscavige-files-declaration-in-texas-lawsuit/

Excerpt:
It’s not every day that we get to hear directly from David Miscavige, the leader of the Church of Scientology.

When we see or hear his words, it tends to be in speeches that he gives to other Scientologists at church events. We also suspect that he often writes some of the public pronouncements that Scientology puts out under the name of its international spokeswoman, Karin Pouw. But words for public consumption under Miscavige’s own signature are very rare, and tend only to occur in court declarations. As far as we can tell, the last one he made was in 1999.

And that’s why we think it’s a pretty big deal that this week, Miscavige submitted a declaration in the lawsuit filed August 16 by Monique Rathbun, a lawsuit which alleges that Miscavige and Scientology have orchestrated a four-year harassment campaign against her simply because she is married to Mark “Marty” Rathbun, who was once Miscavige’s top lieutenant before he became an outspoken critic of the church.

Miscavige this week denied that he has anything to do with the state of Texas or the allegations in the lawsuit, and his attorneys argue that for that reason, he should be dismissed from it. And we have the docs.

Re: Scientology Leader David Miscavige Files Declaration in Texas Lawsuit


Whoa! DM doesn't have anything to do in/with Texas?, yet he officiated in an Idle Morgue opening? Perjury? Yep. Lying liar is a liar, a chip off the ol' block of El-Ray-Elron he is.
Some demented cult-leader is crapping bricks not to have to take the stand, and DJ Rap-Kitteh is ready to bust a move with brick-shitting moves!

I am reminded of Miscavige's Cleawater testimony where he lied his ass off in one of the stupidest displays of idiocy I've ever had the misfortune of reading. No doubt CoS do/say near anything to protect the queerless leader from getting up on the stand again.

"Woman Tells Scientology Boss To Knock It Off"

Just in from Courthouse News Service..."Woman Tells Scientology Boss To Knock It Off" - Eric De La Garza

Excerpts:

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (CN) - Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige harassed and intimidated the wife of the church's former No. 2 official so badly he drove her from her South Texas home and into seclusion - where he found her again, the woman claims in court.

Plaintiff Monique Rathbun, 41, claims the "notorious multi-billion dollar cult" worked around the clock for three years to destroy her after her husband, once Scientology's No. 2 man, spoke out against Miscavige.

Rathbun sued Miscavige, Steven Gregory Sloat, Monty Drake, the Religious Technology Center and the Church of Scientology in Comal County Court.

In 2009 her husband spoke out "against Mr. Miscavige's criminal mistreatment of Scientology clergy," Rathbun says in the complaint.

Since then she says: "She has been harassed, insulted, surveilled, photographed, videotaped, defamed, and humiliated to such a degree as to shock the conscience of any decent, law-abiding person. She has been subjected to numerous, aggressive attempts to intimidate her. Each and all of the defendants have participated enthusiastically in this abuse, without regard to Mrs. Rathbun's basic rights as a human being. She has been

Maybe there will be a follow-up to this article since 2 additional defendants have been named? :confused2:

Re: Mosey Rathbun Sues David Miscavige, Scientology, & More

While the declaration executed by David Miscavige certainly was newsworthy for a whole host of reasons, the other declaration filed on the same day is worth the time to read and consider, too.

Imagine for a moment, please, that the defense attorneys somehow manage to have David Miscavige removed as a named defendant in the Rathbun v. Miscavige/RTC/Co$/etc. case. (A hearing is set for Sept. 12 & 13, 2013.)

Now, please read the declaration executed by Warren McShane here (if you're in a hurry, just read #1, #2, and #7): http://www.scribd.com/doc/164582569/Monique-v-Scientology-Warren-McShane-Declaration (<---that link originates from Tony Ortega's site, The Underground Bunker, at this link---> http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/01/sc...miscavige-files-declaration-in-texas-lawsuit/ )

Ask yourself, after having read Mr. McShane's declaration paragraphs #1, #2, & #7, who's in charge of RTC?


Frankly, I'm surprised Mr. McShane was able to wriggle his arm out from under the bus just to sign that declaration.

News of this lawsuit is growing...

Former Ingleside by the Bay Resident Suing Church of Scientology

Excerpts:

INGLESIDE ON THE BAY -- You may have heard of the Church of Scientology. Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley and Lisa Marie Presley are just a few famous names tied into the church. Now, a lawsuit underway against the church filed in Comal County has some strong ties to Ingleside on the Bay.

The court granted a temporary restraining order to the woman suing the church. She claims for 199 days Scientology operatives harassed her at her home in the Coastal Bend.
Part of that alleged harassment is caught on this video, posted on YouTube. "What do you have to say about that Marty, how about that," asks a man with a camera strapped to his head. "I don't have anything to say to an unidentified punk who comes with 4 people to my door," Rathbun responds.

Mrs. Rathbun says in her affidavit that Scientologists and people associated with them would try and aggressively interrogate her in front of her Ingleside on the Bay home. The San Patricio County Sheriff's Department does confirm filing at least ten reports and responding to numerous other calls.

And..Scientology/Co$ responds:

We did make several calls to the Church of Scientology today. They called back to ask why we're running the story before issuing a short statement via email, "There is no merit to the allegations and we are looking forward to prevailing in court."

Having only skimmed quickly over the documents provided on behalf of RTC and Warren McShane, I would have to say that the State of Texas is going to soon be overrun with Squirrels as RTC has never had any staff in Texas nor does RTC claim any business or protection thereof, under the laws of and in the state of Texas. I guess what would include the right of the Dallas Ideal Org to become as unorthodox as it may wish. Including keeping the COB of RTC out of the building?

His signature seems to suggest that his mother is a hamster and his father smells of elderberries. And his penis is very very small.

SCIENTOLOGY MOVES TO DISQUALIFY MONIQUE RATHBUN’S ATTORNEYS
http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/10/scientology-moves-to-disqualify-monique-rathbuns-attorneys/

n a stunning, if predictable, move, late yesterday the Church of Scientology asked Comal County, Texas Judge Dib Waldrip to disqualify Monique Rathbun’s attorneys and cripple her harassment lawsuit because, the church says, Monique’s attorney Ray Jeffrey and his team improperly used “confidential and attorney client privileged information” when it allowed Marty Rathbun to submit an affidavit in his own wife’s lawsuit.

Scientology is asking Judge Waldrip to consider the motion Thursday morning, along with other matters in what is becoming a crowded two-day hearing in New Braunfels, Texas.
 
Judge, Monique Rathbun’s attorneys are using criminals who worked directly for our crime boss to expose how our crime syndicate operates. We can't even use the legal system to silence them, it's just not fair.

Great point made by Mark Headley below in comments re CO$ move to have Marty's affidavit kicked out because he hadsome sort of legal obligation to
keephis mouth shut.


http://tonyortega.org/2013/09/10/sc...qualify-monique-rathbuns-attorneys/#more-9929

"Scientology, in other words, is arguing that Marty Rathbun’s fiduciary duty to keep his mouth shut is stronger than Miscavige’s own duty to tell the truth to a Texas court.

We’re gobsmacked, we really are. We turned to our legal adviser, Manhattan attorney Scott Pilutik, who cautioned us that the real problem with Scientology’s motion is in its legal argument…"


Marc Headley • 7 hours ago

Time to pull out the statement from Scientology spokesholes that Marty, "never held any positions of importance while volunteering for Scientology and has no information about David Miscavige or management personnel."

This just gets lulzier and lulzier.

Somebody can't keep all the lies straight.

I hope Judge Waldrip is in the mood for this kind of a rodeo, because he's about to see some interesting rides.

P.S. Lord, I hope Ortega shows up or this Comal shindig.

Tony Ortega is on the ground to report on the proceedings today, there should be good stuff for me to read in the morning. I wonder if Miss Cabbage will show?

NEW POSTS WILL APPEAR HERE…
7:57 am

Still a little dark here in New Braunfels this morning, and not quite 70 degrees, but it will get over 90 later today. Last night at the Pour Haus on San Antonio Street the temperature was just right for a beer on the patio.

While trying to figure out what moves the church might make in this case, the Bunker passed on a suggestion we’d heard from an attorney, that this case was so possibly toxic, one option Scientology might actually consider is simply defaulting and walking away. In that case the judge would then assign damages. Perhaps it’s better just to write a check and be done with it, we said. But our drinking companion, a savvy journalist, thought that was unlikely because it would mean giving money to Monique Rathbun and, by extension, Marty Rathbun.

It looks like the cult is taking this seriously; they've got 12-15 attorneys there! :biggrin:

And this from an update from Tony about 10 minutes ago (Gary Soter is one of the attorneys)

[QUOTE]Gary Soter just came over and started dressing down Joe Childs, saying he didn’t want any photographs of him taken. Other reporters politely informed the very tall attorney that he’s in a public courtroom. Drama![/QUOTE]
