Ship of fools

by Mike Rinder. As everyone who reads the glossy C of M promotional hype knows, the Freewinds is “a luxury retreat off the crossroads of the world.” An “island of sanity in a world gone mad.” Yet, like much else in Miscavige’s perverted kingdom, there is a thin veneer of truth in the picture presented to the world and then there is what REALLY goes on out of the public eye.

The Freewinds IS a luxury vessel. Made even more so over the last few years following a multi-million dollar refit and renovation. This of course includes luxurious facilities for Dear Leader himself — not just berthing, but his personal dining room and office spaces beyond the offices already allocated to RTC.

The Freewinds is a favorite haunt for Miscavige for three reasons:

a) it is outside the control of any government (except when she was boarded by French authorities while at anchor in St. Bart’s, hence no more visits to French ports),

b) he likes to scuba dive and do underwater photography (the entire Gold base was made to watch one of his underwater slide shows like they were watching a Source briefing on LRH as a photographer with surveys done on the staff afterwards to detect any “BI’s”). The Caribbean is unsurpassed
on that front.

And, c) Freewinds is remote from any other Scientology organization. So, Miscavige can goof off, have movies flown in each night, scuba dive during the day, eat out at expensive restaurants on shore and still call or write the poor fools at the Int Base and berate them about his long schedule and all the hard work he has to do due to their incompetence. They don’t know any different and the crew on board the Freewinds think “COB” is taking a “well-deserved” vacation and are honored to have him on board!

Dear Leader stories from the Freewinds are many. His lavish parties for Tom Cruise have been covered numerous times. His delight in assigning individuals to clean the bilges – sometimes for weeks on end, is also well known. (And I know this from personal experience on several occasions, along with Heber, Marc Yager and Guillaume Lesevre — though of course they will deny the Freewinds even has an engine room to protect Dear Leader).

But recently debriefed former Freewinds staff have given a fuller picture of Dear Leader’s madness and the level of effort that is employed to cover up to keep it a “safe space” for DM to luxuriate.

First an illustrative vignette. One of the stewards who was serving DM had a cold sore. For that, she was taken off post and confined to a room alone for a week until all evidence of the cold sore was gone. At that point she was sec checked to find out what evil purpose she had towards COB that she would have a cold sore in his presence! She was eventually busted from post altogether.

Of course, the Freewinds is also home to Miscavige’s personal bankers – the IAS. The IAS paid for the $1500 per day scuba boat charters that routinely sat on standby for weeks on end so he wouldn’t have to plan ahead but could take off whenever he felt the urge. They also paid for lavish meals at the most expensive restaurants on the islands, as well as showering Dear Leader with gifts.

It should come as no surprise that the financial largesse spread through the upper echelons of the IAS. President IASA and her entourage were well known for their shopping sprees in London, Paris, LA and NY and in any port of call that had name brand stores. And when it came time for gifts to be bought for the head honchos – the already healthy paychecks of IAS staff would be increased and they would each “donate” the difference into the gift pot. And while everyone else on the Freewinds operated on a normal SO schedule, the IAS routinely took a day off every week to “increase their havingness.” And when their regges were discovered to be severely out ethics, little if anything would be done. Of course, when you present Dave with trinkets of tribute and keep him supplied with unlimited fine food, wine and scuba diving opportunities, you are pretty much above the law (until Janet McLaughlin became mutinous towards Miscavige and was rounded up in late 2006 and put in the Hole – where she remains to this day, while her husband was sent to the Freewinds where he remains, refusing still to divorce her – a bizarre story which will be told here as the final chapter of DM’s final purges).

There is one other person on the Freewinds exempt from standard ethics and justice. Dear Leader’s diving companion and on board hit-man, Captain Mike Napier. When DM wants to threaten someone, or keep them locked up, Napier is his go-to guy and on board enforcer. After Janet McLaughlin was busted, Dear Leader called Napier personally and told him to round up all IAS crew on board into the Starlight Cabaret, lock the doors, take their phones, pagers and computers and keep them from communicating with anyone in the world.

So, it is no surprise that when Napier had sex with a local island restaurant waitress he went untouched. Even worse, somehow the blame was shifted to the Port Captain Freewinds (Ludwig Alpers – a truly likable and decent man) by the CO CMO Ship, Sue Price. Captain Love Boat Napier is hated by the staff on the Freewinds – and the vast majority of them don’t even know he had out 2D. In fact, his “ethics” handling consisted of him giving a base briefing where he handed out flimsy copies of TWTH signed by him and the CO FSSO (Sharon Webber). The crew had no idea why they were getting them and Sharon Webber aided in the cover-up.

As an aside, Sue Price spent many years at Int. She has imported Dear Leader’s habits and routines into ship life even when he isn’t there. Wrong targeting. Constant Executive C/Sing though she isn’t tech trained. Heavy invalidation and evaluation. Precisely because the Freewinds is a remote world unto itself, it serves another purpose: Prison ship.

Many of you have read the story of Don Jason. Because he was a “security risk” he was incarcerated on the Freewinds. His passport was taken away. His movements were restricted. He was under guard (it is a confined environment, easy to monitor). He made a heroic escape which resulted in the Security Guard who was on watch being removed and posted as a plumber, the Security Chief being demoted and the ship’s plumber being made the Security Chief!

Others haven’t been so lucky. One of the Ship Engineers was severely disaffected with Captain Love Boat after several run-ins with him. He became increasingly enturbulated and was not sleeping. He was put under 24 hour watch with full time guards and video cameras in his room. He was not handled with standard tech and ended up committing suicide by hanging himself in the shower with a sheet. The entire incident was covered up so as not to create a “flap.” False information was given to the authorities.

Carol Miles, the Public Officer and public face of the Freewinds has disappeared. I guess, like Heber, nobody dares ask where she is. In fact, she was being “handled” under the brilliant guidance of CO CMO Ship (Sue Price) with her special style of “executive C/Sing”. Carol’s “handlings” didn’t go well. She made threats and became a security risk. And what happens to inmates on the prison ship when they are too hot to handle? They get shipped off to the prison colony – the RPF in CLO ANZO, in Sydney.

Quite a number of “problem” staff have been routed to the ANZO RPF. It is thought to be so remote that anyone sent there has effectively been “disappeared”. Like the 3 Gold staff who were banished to the ANZO RPF after they pissed off Dear Leader. Those 3 (Karl Whitcher, Kip Engen and Nicolai Ciferrelli) were assigned to do the RPF twice through. They have been there since 2004. One of them completed the first time through last year – imagine 6 years of sec checking, FPRD and TRD and now having to do it all over again!

So, this is where Carol Miles is. She joined other “security risks” banished to the prison colony – including the former IG MAA Chris Guider who had fallen from grace when he refused to comply with an order from Miscavige to hit a Gold staff member with his swagger stick and the ex-RTC Rep FSO who knew all about Miscavige’s involvement in the McPherson matter.

Does any of this sound like standard Scientology? Unfortunately, it is merely the tip of the iceberg. At the whim of Dear Leader, people’s lives are destroyed. Like the 11 Int base staff banished to NY to work in Estates, then blamed for “overspends” on the Idle Org and offloaded (except Chris Beeny, who was sent to the prison colony never to be posted anywhere other than Estates – only because his parents were prominent OTs in LA), or Eric and Margit Ottman, declared and banished to Alaska because Eric accidentally ran over one of Dear Leader’s dogs. Or, or, or… The list goes on.

Yet, Miscavige has a lot of people believing that he, and he alone, is keeping the flame of LRH’s legacy burning. In truth, he is systematically destroying the subject and in so doing, undermining everything that LRH stood for. His continuous present time overts must be stopped – but he is incapable of restraining himself, so enough pressure must be brought to bear from the outside to force him to cease and desist.

It will be done.

Dear Leader’s sinking ship of fools may still buy his bullshit — or be too scared to call it for what it is. But there are a lot of people these days who aren’t cowed by his bombast, bluster and bs. His crimes will be exposed until he is no longer in a position to wreak havoc on LRH’s life’s work.

Mr Runitall is a nasty, disgusting, stinking, slimy, evil A$$HOLE!! Being eaten by a shark would be too good for him. He needs to be locked up with a bunch of guys that would return the pain and suffering that he's dished out over the years to his fellow Scientologists. I wonder how many years/lifetimes it would take for him to inflow the pain and suffering that he's outflowed to others, just this lifetime, to balance out his flows? :angry:

The alternative? A huge amends project to all the people he's offended and hurt.

May ask why? As far as I can tell, Marty and Mike are revealing or otherwise providing important information that would not otherwise be known.

Do you think the information has no value? Is all false?

If not, do you hate Marty and Mike so much that you would prefer to not have the information they post just so you don't have to hear about them?

The opposite of 'information' is not ignorance; it's *disinformation*.

Information infuses ignorance and becomes valuable. Disinformation is the poisoning of the well. There can be 99% potable water in the well. It doesn't take 50% to make it unpotable.

Marty Rathbun quite deliberately intends to kool aid the well.

Operation Freewinds

Hey deep sea salvage divers Mike & Marty!

While you are down there at the bottom of the Sea of Scientology looking for evidence you can use to create a lynch mob mentality to hang all the blame on Admiral Miscavige, please remember--that's your dear Commodore's shipwreck down there.

It's been taking on water for 60 years. Those gaping holes in the hull are horrendous structural flaws in the ship's original design---it never floated once, not even on its 1950's maiden voyage.

No float = sunk ship.

Oh yeah, one more thing--it can't be repaired by anyone on earth except an Operating Thetan. And since there are none of those around.......

Sorry for the bad news. But, as a good faith gesture that I am not just a natterer, here is some constructive commentary:

From the new Scriptural Writings of Mike Rinder:

One of the Ship Engineers was severely disaffected with Captain Love Boat after several run-ins with him. He became increasingly enturbulated and was not sleeping. He was put under 24 hour watch with full time guards and video cameras in his room. He was not handled with standard tech and ended up committing suicide by hanging himself in the shower with a sheet.......Does any of this sound like standard Scientology?

Hey diver's M & M....sorry for more bad news. He WAS handled with standard tech. That's why he killed himself. Oh, what's that you say, not the right standard tech? Oh, YOU have better standard tech to offer me? No thanks, I couldn't touch another bite, I'm full.

But, I'm wondering, divers M & M....are you super-sure you hammered the wrong standard tech out of existence?

As sure as 100% sure about your 100% standard tech as Commodore Ron and Admiral Dave were 100% sure about their 100% standard tech?

Are you saying that the information that Rinder provided is in fact disinformation? That it is false? Incorrect? Unreliable? That you don't believe it?

Or are you just ranting and calling bullshit because you don't like Marty and Mike?

Never fails. I post information from Marty (or Mike) here or on WWP and, regardless of how reliable or useful the information is or whether it might be investigated or verified, someone's first reaction is to attack Marty (or Mike).

Well at least as long as "Freewinds" (aka "Deathwinds") stays afloat,
the cult can legitimately claim to have a "Bridge". However, if all
the ships personel; passengers and crew, attempt to go "up the Bridge"
at once; they have a problem. In reality, very few ever actually
get on the Bridge.

Just not enough space up there, don't you know. The Bridge is a
relatively small area of the ship. Usually occupied by a handful
of crew. Just Captain and others necessary to control the ship.
Maybe a dozen people at most. Captain has to "Clear the Bridge"
when too many riffraff try to muscle their way in. Send them down to
lower decks, where they belong. Silly fools! Damn landlubbers.

Maybe that's what a cult "Clear" really is. One who tried to get
"up the Bridge" only to be ordered to "Clear the Bridge". The Bridge
of the Ship of Fools; The Bridge on the Ship of the Fooled.
Perhaps it is time to Abandon Ship?

I'm glad Mike and Marty are exposing the crimes of the cult. The more the merrier.

This particular post about the Freewinds is very disturbing. These staff are being mistreated to the point where at least one committed suicide. That is horrific!

So what's new . . .

Same ole shit - Hubbard started the abuse, DM carries it on. I'm sure Susan Meister and Derek Green (to mention just two) would agree . . .

As far as I'm concerned, if they come up with damning evidence against Miscavige and his loyals and manage to bring the authorities and indctment against Miscavige, the whole church will go under anyway.

I believe that's why they pussyfoot with the info on blogs and don't bring it into the light of authority because to take Davey out takes everything out.

Agreed Miss P!

Exposure of crimes, fraud and lies is cause for celebration. How about we create a federal holiday to show gratitude to those who bravely expose criminal Scientologists?

Scientology WhistleBlowers Day!

Maybe we need to really celebrate it. Let's take a vote of all Scientologists to see if they like that idea:

VOTE RESULTS
Should Scientology WhistleBlowers Day be
declared a national holiday to encourage honest
people to expose every criminal Scientologist?

YES: 9,999,997
NO: 0,000,003

The unidentified SP's who voted against it had initials of: DM, MR and MR.

I don't care what Marty does with the tech at this point. Not my bag anymore.
I do care that the stories keep a comin'. Doesn't matter who they are from. I am grateful for everyone of them. The more crimes exposed from the more number of sources the more credible they are and the more effective they can be.:thumbsup: And it does deserve a holiday!!:happydance:

I'm happy for Marty and Mike to weave their web around DM.

I'll work side by side with them despite my disagreements with their assignment of cause and their goals for the tech.

The problem is that while they are trying to surgically remove the cancer from the body of the church, a malignant growth they call DM, they are all going to have their pet surgery project get hit by a freight train from Australia.

See, our work will survive them but they might find their patient dies from what's coming straight into their operating theater from Downunder.

They still can res-erect a new CofS with a friendlier service policy at a later date. As long as it ditches the abusive aspects of the CofS I'll defend their right to practice their "religion".
