What's new

So, is this what we have been waiting for?

Because of that, combined with Miscavige's increasingly lavish lifestyle, his unnatural obsession with actor Tom Cruise, and his increasingly abusive behavior toward staff and myself, I began to question whether the long, hard fight with the IRS was about protecting the religion or instead about protecting Miscavige's personal power and lifestyle choices.

His "unnatural obsession with actor Tom Cruise". I've long wondered if Dave and Tom had been having a "relationship".

I've been browsing through the PDF while getting some work done. Mark admits to assaulting staff under DM's orders. Mark is taking a risk here. He's admitted under oath to committing the crime of assault and battery. DM can now order one of the victims to press charges against Mark, while DM can continue to deny giving any such order.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromance

A bromance or man-crush is a close but non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men, a form of homosocial intimacy.[1] Coined in the 1990s, the term has typically referred to a relationship between heterosexuals influenced by the effect of second wave feminism in the United States or related movements elsewhere in the world.[1]

Marty's being 'smart'. What he's 'confessing' to is things he knows to be low on any prosecutor's 'to do' list, especially lacking any complaining party. And, even so, he hasn't *specified* any instances, so he can still claim 'statute of limitations' if anybody asks. Next, there are *not* going to be any accusations, whether on orders or not, because both Marty and Davey know the *real* crimes they both committed and they are colluding in keeping those secret.

Which means that they do *not* fall under the 'statute of limitations', since it's an ongoing conspiracy.

All that's really in question is whether Marty and Davey are silent about their other crimes because of Mutally Assured Destruction considerations, or whether Marty and Davey are both on the same team anyway in pushing the 'shore story' that what's been 'admitted to' is *all* of the Scientology Criminality they know of.

At least Mike Rinder has come out with claims that he knows of crimes committed by Miscavige that would immediately land him in jail; although, he refuses to reveal them... Supposedly because he has an 'exclusive' with the BBC's 'Panorama' show, which strangely enough seems to have disappeared.

That was quite lengthy and detailed. Marty comes off as creditable.

However,a couple things. The date at the beginning, August 2, 2010.

And this Declaration refers to the case action Claire Headley has filed against CSI and RTC, but the case number is so small its unreadable and its the 2nd case motion in this matter. Any other details available or sources to check?

Thanks.

well given the homo-erotic imagery they projected dressing up in body leathers together next to motorcycles I think it may be a little more than just a bromance.

I don't think it's a gay thing. They're just too close is all.

It might be that. I suspect otherwise. DM's games of domination and humiliation against (just about entirely male?) senior execs in "The Hole" (the choice of name is also suggestive) to me seems to have a homoerotic quality.

There's also Andre Tabayoyon's statement
118. During the 1980's, Miscavige befriended the actor Tom Cruise and they spend a lot of time together on the Hemet base. Their special chef, Sinar Parman, would prepare them fancy meals. Often they would hang out alone in the space designated for L. Ron Hubbard on the Clipper Ship we built in the desert. This space had a small kitchen, a little dining room, a little bar and a bed. They also had the exclusive use of the officers lounge. On other occasions Miscavige and Cruise would work out in the expensive gym we built for exclusive and restricted use. No one else was allowed to talk to Tom Cruise when he was on the base. One time one of the gardeners spoke to him and this caused a major flap on the base. At Gold, Miscavige is known by his initials DM and Tom Cruise by his initials TC. From the late 1980's until I left the Gold, Tom Cruise was provided a personal and exclusive apartment and storage facilities by the Scientology organization and at Scientology's expense. Tom Cruise kept two Yamaha motorcycles, a Mercedes Benz automobile and a large motor home at Gold. These were stored in what used to be Hubbard's garage and parking lot. Obviously, Miscavige and Cruise have developed a special relationship. One is a young world domineering celebrity. The other is a young domineering cult leader who seeks to 'clear' the world and to rule it according to Scientology beliefs and practices.
Reading between the lines, I think Andre strongly suspected that their relationship was more than platonic.

I think they massage each other's humongous egos. The mega movie star and the leader of the fastest growing religion on the planet were destined to be BFF's. :kma::dance2:

The case number shown there is CASE NO. CV09-3987 DSF (MANx). The Opera browser has a handy zoom function built in that goes from 20% - 300%.

Yarrr!
Its beyond the pirate thingy tho, in them olden days it was just hanging out with the boys, now its like that's a bad thing or something to be stigmatised. ~But~ I think that in the case of DM and Tomkitty its more than just buddies, it buddies for the cause, for the good of mankind, for the sake of the planet (insert blah-blah-blather-blarge), 'we're on the same side and we are just!' :puke2: In other words, Dm, little star-ass-kissing sycophantic that he is, has his 'good buddy' Tom schmoozed and basicaslly sucked in and he wants to keep it that way. I've had suspicions for a long time that the Wee Dwarf was never convinced Hubbard was any sort of anything other than a very good con man, and took over the scam when the opportunity happened, and he wants to guide the 'golden nose-rings' with an iron, tiny-tyrannical, fist. (and keep up the lies to his inner circle):grouch::grouch:

My opinion. :confused2:

He does sort of resemble a carny barker doesn't he.
