The Temporary Restraining Order(TRO)/Preliminary Injunction (PI) procedure is relatively standard in most states in America. Since 1981 Mike and I had helped Scientology Inc capitalize on it to crush, punish and silence many people. Generally, one can get the TRO with no notice to the defendant, and then the defendant has but ten days to put together a complete defense in a hearing for a PI. That means scrambling together for bread and trying to hire someone competent to enter a thoroughly unremunerative and unrewarding battle field and get him prepared for the unpreparable. Very few that Mike and I could recall had ever been able to get it together in that time frame. So, dozens of times we had used the weapon successfully to muzzle a defendant from the outset and for the remaining two to five year period the case would take to get to ultimate trial. It was like shackling the defendant to the whipping post, then using the two to five years of litigation process to bury, punish, and bankrupt him or her with harassing discovery and motion work. And while ultimately the defendant might prevail at trial (e.g. Gerry Armstrong, Joe Yanny), in many ways the person was ruined and enervated by that time.
He say's this without the faintest remorse. He is the same person, playing the same game, just on another team. It's like a Nazi joining the allies when he knows that the Nazi's are losing the war. He is still a Nazi at heart. The OSA video's of Marty not only show OSA to be borish malicious time wasters, it also shows Marty to be the irrational, violent, thug that he is now and was in the C of S. Miscavige's physical abuse of staff is
decades old. Marty Rathbun left corporate Scientology in 2004 and would probably still be there had he not been submitted to 'The Hole'. I don't believe for a moment that he has anything to offer spiritually and has been so knee deep in so much despisable behaviour for so long and shown so little remorse for it, that it is hard for me to support him or his friends in their endeavours. At the end of the day it will be the perpertrator's of the worst abuse in Scientology that will take Scientology down, as we are now seeing as they battle it out in court.
They are not even late cogniter's, they have yet to cognite. Debbie still believes that only such abuse happened at Int. Where has she been for the last 30-40 years? It's happening down in the Org's as well. Terril now feels that Debbie's testimony is proof that it's all down to "one man". Terril, get your head out of the sand. Do you think Hitler stayed in power without support and willing and knowing acomplices? We've been here before with all the court cases in the early to mid 80's and even earlier with that with people who were dismayed at Hubbard's introduction of heavy ethics.
Aside from Marty's statement which I have quoted where he talks about "utterly ruining people", he was also responsible for destroying evidence in the Lisa McPherson case, knew about the bad tech at Flag, as evidenced by Nancy Many (and ironically verified by a post of his), he lovingly introduced the e-meter to ethics cycle's, admits to drawing up legal strategies to destroy people, physically hit people, he brought Annie back to her imprisonment, emotionally caved people in with his "ethics" interviews (Michael Pattinson, is just one example) and someone (allegedly) managed to hold on to his inheritance the whole time whilst the rest of us were expected to hand voer everything and more! Now Debbie, is not as knee deep into the crimes as the axis of evil Rinder-Rathbun-Miscavige, but she knows stuff and that stuff could be damaging to Marty as well, very damaging. No suprise that he turns up on the scene as a hero, but in my eyes is the biggest 'handler' of them all or 'containment agent' acting to protect himself and his hidden goals and agenda's. He control's the income for her legal defense, he arranged the attorney and this will no-doubt influence how things are played out in court and how she present's things.
Marty and Mike have no right to criticise Tommy Davis, who they groomed to be the way he is now and who is doing the job they once did and has far cleaner hands than they could ever hope to have. They're also in no position to criticise people for the gagging order's considering they harrassed people to do the same.
Marty only tells the truth when it suits his regime. There was more than one person (Miscavige) and behind that Ron, responsible for all that has gone wrong. I remember many people in Scientology who did not hurt and abuse people or get on ego trips and even a few who spoke out against the injustice at a great loss to themselves. He has very cleverly avoided jail and is hiding behind the support and naivety of the people he would have onced destroyed, should it have been called for, to give himself an air of innocence and credibility.
