The Truth about Marty Rathburn

(I have edited this. After re-reading it I could see it was a bit rough)

Hello to those that read these boards,

This is information to those that support Marty Rathburn.

Please read this, and evaluate the information.

The Sea Org was created in 1967.

David Miscavige came along in the 80's.

There is a gap of some 13 years where DM had little to do with it.

The big lie that you are being asked to swallow is that the SO was "right" prior to DM arriving. And so was the tech.

The truth is that this statement could not be further from the Truth.

What is the Truth?

Did DM write the policies of the Sea Org which allow it to do what it does? No. LRH did.

Did DM write or authorise the extensive use of disconnection, overboarding or ruthless ethics that allows the takeover of Earth via Scientolgoy at any cost?

No, DM did not write these things. LRH did.

I have spoken to those that were on the ship with Ron.

There aren't many left. Most are dead. Or a freezoners.

They will tell you the truth.

LRH, the Messiah, was a madman.

Marty would have you beleive that he will deliver to you the golden age of true Scientology.

This is the same man who, prior to his arrival or DM's, had a madman called LRH stating that we had OTs, we have clears.

And yet none have ever walked the planet.

None ever will. Especially is you are using LRH tech.

It would be nice to blame DM wouldn't it? But this is the wrong target. No matter how insnae DM now is, one should ask what made him so insane.

It would be nice to say "DM changed the tech". And yes, he did. But this was 30 years after the fact that LRH tech failed to deliver any of what it promised.

Perhaps it SHOULD be changed. Because LRH couldn't get it right either.

The shocking truth is that there is no LRH tech that can create an OT. Or a clear.

Marty would have you beleive that this is possible, and promise you that piece of blue sky that got you into Scientology in the first place.

If there are any persons out there with OT abilities, understand that it is because they are different.

If you edcuate yourself into the real world and understand how powerful a human brain is, it starts to make sense why we are here in the first place, in this technologicial age. There are animals on this planet that use sonar, near pre-cognitive reaction times, elephants that can commuicate via vibration at 50km, wales that communicate over thousands, sea creatures with eyesight 9 advanced than human bodies, dogs that can smell a thousand times better...this list goes on. It is astounding how powerful organisims are on this planet.

Where did we get the idea that they were primitive? They are so advanced, it baffles the mind almost. Man is lucky to have arms, hands and advanced vocal abilities. How did we get here? Good question. The questions are being answered using science. The answers are making sense. The good news is that science at it's absolute level will acknowledge the existence of thetans once it is done. It has not set out to disprove religion or the soul, as others would have you beleive.

If humans walked around with all the abilities that all animals alone on this planet have, then you would be an OT.

Don't invalidate how powerful the human brain is. Have you studied it, really studied it, or just read an article or two? Or the organisims of this planet? We are truly unique. But you won't do that. You will call your brain primitive without ever stuyding it, because you were told that would validate you being "a body".

You ARE a body, in case you hadn't bloody noticed. It is a wonderful thing.

And if you treat it like it is garbage, you die. Millions of years of beautiful evolution results in this magnificent creation, and we accept some twit like LRH who says it is "nothing"?

Oh dear.

You will find that evolution of man while being of the brain and the mind, is because you have a brain.

Let's use it.

Here is your first chance.

Find for me a time in Scientology, prior to Marty, the SO or DM was there was ever a true clear? Or OT?

Try to find one for me that was created AFTER the SO was created and prior to DM, or Marty.

There will be none found.

If you are truly able to confront. If you are truly able to evaluate information, then evaluate and find out why all the tech hasn't delivered this.

The answer is not that the tech needs tweaking. Or was misapplied.

It is because it is the wrong tech to create an OT.

Perhaps there is tech that can create an OT. But it does not exist in Scientology. Perhaps Scientology coupled with other tech can do this.

A simple, humble way of life exists in the basics of Scientology.

Good. Use that. Basic Tech, basic stuff. Why the fuck do you beleive that just because he made you feel better with basic auditing or basic tech, that this means he has the solution to everything?

Why don't you just go to a doctor and ask them to cure everything? They will tell you they can't and will tell you they can help to an extent. They don't lie and say they can do it all. They get locked up for making false promises.

As they should. As LRH should have been, too.

Basic auditing is great. You feel wonderful. I liked it. But to validate imaginations as the real thing sets up a deadly proposition for the mind to accept. Is there any harm in auditing out "imaginations"? If you knew they were just imaginations, is there any harm? Your still resolving the ficitous incident and looking at how you did so. Is there an harm in this?

If you understand how a brain wires together memories and triggers, there possibly is some danger in this. Taking away the triggers that fail to let you feel fear when there is a lethal spider in front of you IS DANGEROUS. Taking away the triggers that make you capable of holding conversations with men, instead of running away from them because you were raped as a child IS ADVANTAGOUS. Having the Triggers removed which make you capable of being duped IS DANGEROUS.

We have all seen the shows that show you a person scared of a spider, cured, then able to pick it up. Thats great - but those are just plain spiders with a less than fatal bite. No matter how cool you are around spiders, picking up a funnel web spider in Australia is suicide. You will be bitten and you will die. No spider expert is the world would ever touch one. Ever.

So we have to be careful about what triggers and fears we strip away. Fears are OK. They are there for a reason.

If we try to understand that LRH was TRYING to create a clear, TRYING to create an OT. He couldn't do it. And he failed. He himself couldn't even be one. And he felt guilty. So he lied and told you he created it.

Sure, money had something to do with it. I have no doubt LRH had by 1975 enough money... so the game was control and to be a messiah, a much more attractive proposition. After all, if money just gets you luxuries and power, then being a messiah gets you even more.

He wanted the top job. Not just to be a God. But the creator of Gods. Wow. Those are pretty big shoes to fill.

Faiths, beliefs, the Egyptians and other modern Science agrees that the creation of an OT may be possible.

But it is not in Scientology.

All this time you have been told that Scientology can create it. It is no better than a doctor who promises he can heal spinal injuries and yet to date has never done one successful operation.

And your just going to lie down and get cut open? You must be insane. Surely you would take more care than that? Surely you would ask for proof before handing over your mind to a person? But we didn't.

Why did we BELIEVE that LRH tech could create this? Why did we BELIEIVE that Marty, who is part of this great lie, can give us what we want?

Because you were told. And again, you will not THINK.

And Marty stands before you today, offering more hope. And that is all he will give you, hope.

If you want to live with hope, and no results, go stay with Marty. Or advanced Scientology. Plenty of "hope" for sale.

Blame DM, blame this or that. But for Gods sake, lets be grown up and blame ourselves for falling into a trap and buying it hook, line and sinker.

Marty is in that Trap. And he, who couldn't stand the thought of being lied to his whole life, must justify his existence and beliefs. And he will accomplish this by getting you to agree that we were all duped, and that the "truth" is still there for us.

LRH, the man who lost a son to suicide. A man who lost his wife to jail. A man who lost his other son through disconnection. A man who lay on his death bed with only a few friends left, the rest all declared by DM, and if not by DM, LRH took care of declaring them all before DM was even in the Sea Org.

Perhaps UFOs do exist. Perhaps there are Alien races out there. It is possible. But none of them, if they land here, are going to tell you that they were mates with Xenu. Or that they were implanted 75 million years ago with you. Science agrees that the likelihood of aliens is probable. To what extent their intelligence? unknown.

Other lines of data would indicate that we have had extensive alien invlovement. Some proof exists.

The confirmation of any of the above does not validate Scientology. Rosewell was pre scientology. The first instance of UFO reporting was in 1917. So, while keeping an open mind, let us just evaluate the arguements placed before us.

When you can accept that you were lied to by the man you most trusted, LRH, you might start to get somewhere. It hurts.

I know. It really does. I would have died for him. And he lied to me. That SOB. I dislike him very much for doing this. But he is dead, and left a legacy behind that contans some good, but mostly a lot of unresearched, and dangerous techniques for altering the mind - and thus the brain.

Marty will offer you a way out. Beleive in LRH, and despise the Church in it's current form and it's leaders. This will validate your poor decision in Scientology and also validate that your hopes can still come true.

Good luck to you.

If you go over to Marty's camp, see DM fall and reinstate a new method of Scientology, I will hear from you in the future.

Give it 20 years. And we will again have tails of you being duped.

Right now, if you will not evaluate because you have a belief in your mind that will not allow you to evaluate. It has been shown and proved that belief systems of the highest order through MIR scans will actually automatically reject data contrary to the belief system you have in place. Thus it results in no evaluation.

We all had our chance. We were told of clears. We were told of OTs. We saw no proof. We did not ask for proof. Why?

All the evidence in the WORLD will still not result in you being able to accept what I write, or make a responsible decision in the light of total evidence.

You feel like lashing out. Hitting that "reply" button and scream at me "I have the right to believe...". But don't hit that button. Because this isn't about what you beleive. This is about facts. You can sing all you want, the fact is what did LRH do between 1950 and 1982? Don't know, go find out. How old was DM when he joined and what was it like before DM arrived - oh yes, boats full of happy happy clears and OTs dancing in the winds of Orion.

And the reason is because your not interested in facts. Your interested in BELIEVE and BELIEF.

But if that's what you want you have no arguement from me.

Or sympathy.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Now, stop reading, go fly off with Marty into horizons that only exist in your head, enjoy your head in the sand and don't fight real battles that need to be won for our true freedoms.

Who cares about an egotisitcal vice to go OT when we live in a world that is destroying itself?

LRH said if you go OT, this would solve the world problems. But it won't. Complex manufacturing processes, energy provision to the planet is solved through research, brains and excellent execution. Not through the attempt to create an OT that can wish it out of thin air.

I feel almost ashamed that while aorund the world people are suffering, my personal goal was to go off an be OT... ouch. How human was I?

My heart was in the right place. And that's what I dislike about Marty, DM, and LRH. They take the most authentic people like you and I that want to do nothing but help, and then mold it.

There is no doubt in my mind that the people reading this have the best hearts in the world and only want to see peace and prosperity for all man and every spicies.

You are worth your weight in gold, and then some.

You will spend $100 on a book and not a can of beans to a homeless guy. Ugh, do I want to know you? I think so, but let's help others out first. Thats probably more OT than most. Human Aid workers are OTs. That Australian Doctor that cured eyesight for thousands, thats OT. These guys make a real difference.

Have you ever given a toss about the guy in the Congo getting his head blown off? The civilian in Afghastan getting bombed? The famines in Africa? The overpopulation of Earth? Your civil rights being taken away? The mess the 20th century has created for this planet in 50-100 years??? There are REAL people out there with REAL sanity getting solutions to these REAL problems. Do these things concern you?

I think that they probably do.

Scientists aren't "ignorant fools" who need to go OT like we were told. These are smart people that need help from people like you and I to make real world changes.

Because one thing is certain, most of you guys care. When your told the truth.

No LRH tech will solve this. LOOK. Of course, you would have to be willing to look at what's really going on inside the world, as opposed to inside your precious, all important head. Mine included.

Are we selfish human beings? Do we want OT... have we reached "human" yet?

We don't deserve to be duped.

I hope I offended people with this. I am not in the business of validating flatout bullshit or lack of ability to evaluate. We can see straight, when we take off the stupid glasses.

Marty is prescribing a new pair. The lenses are the same. The frame is different.

You're correct, Aaron, but I think you might have placed a bit more emphasis on just how delusional Marty is. His persona is authoritative and glib, but his contradictions and blank spots indicate some real problems with rational thinking. What he's doing may look like a strategy, but it's more like a persistent fantasy.

Plus Marty's not that interesting. Or charismatic. Or up with the times. In fact he doesn't really know what's going on in the world.

And he wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ass and his PR guys are doing a real good job too.

I agree with every word ... except the above (bolded) ... I now believe he was simply TRYING to create lots of $$$$$.

And he succeeded.

Scientology turns well meaning 'wannabee Counsellor's' into what hubbard called auditors ... they are told (and most probably believe) that they are the most important people on the planet (yawn) ... but IMNSHO they are actually (sadly) money makers and enablers that are used up and run into the ground to the point of exhaustion.

Most "pc's" would be just as well off (psychologically) having a chat to a genuine person who cares about them, when they require it.

Of course, they would be way better off financially.

All of the other staff are given 'impressive post titles' but are only really there to create the market and gather up the $$$.

So they too are (often well meaning) enablers being used up and run into the ground like the cheap resource that they are.

Sad.

I agree with your assessment of LRH and Rathbun. The problem is that people like Rathbun still want to believe. Even if it requires self-delusion and dishonesty.

The problem with the Sea Organization is that it operates on policy written by LRH which is abusive, can BE abused or is downright degrading to any human being in their right mind.

A common misconception I see tooted out there by Mark Rathbun and his crew is that David Miscavige does NOT accept fundamental human rights as per the United Nations. This is all fine, well and good - but what realistically IS the doctrine of human rights set fourth by the U.N and why is Scientology so totally obsessed with it that it has to talk about it every day? The answer? Ron's Journal 1968.

In 1968, Ron issues a directive entitled "Ron's Journal 68" and a companion audio tape is released, it is however - released only to Sea Org members. In it, Ron discusses his feelings on human rights when he says:

"...And the general attack line is along the line of human rights; yes human rights"

"..Now I'll give you a clue on how this is handled, somebody comes up to you he's hostile - he's hostile to Scientology and he says to you and he says <inaudible> and you say why are you against human rights and uh and if you know anything about human rights like the universal declaration of human rights, united nations - that sort of thing you know if you kinow something about this subject you just follow it right straight up - in other words you don't defend Scientology, you just attack along this line of human rights you see."

"And someone comes up to you and uh ...<stammering, inaudible> something about treatment or something in Scientology - you should come back at him with: Why are you for Psychiatric death camps? And uh ...just let him try to handle that ball and use these two things ..."

Hubbard himself was a tyrant you see, he was against human rights, he was against treating others correctly, his only intention was to manipulate the PR scene with "human rights attacks" to divert attention away from Scientology.

"Tell him or her ...uh ...the hostile person the hostile press line uh...for instance a newspaper writes an article on how bad Scientology is - any Scientologist reading this should run right to that newspaper and demand: Why are you against human rights? Why are you in favor of Psychiatric death camps?"

"Whereas an attack on Scientology is actually an attack on human rights - anyone making an attack on Scientology is an attack on human rights"

I am pretty sure that DM was on the Ship with LRH and DM has been around LRH for many, many years. He was the Chief Off CMO Int when he was 15. (For those unfamiliar with it, it is a pretty high position in the church).

There is also a picture of LRH directing a filming, and DM is the cameraman in the same picture.

Apprentice?

Marty may be delusional, but, it's a delusion based in the 'doublethink' of Scientology and one he warmly embraces and has no intention of giving up. He flatly *lies* where it serves his purposes and the delusion is that his lies are 'for the greatest good'. He knows they're lies, that's not his delusion; he also believes that his lies are 'good' and 'acceptable'.

He's a good Scientologist.

Great points! :thumbsup:

Scientology USES ideas and misrepresents ANYTHING to make themselves look good.

They do the same with the idea of "hate crimes". They recognize that modern people have an elevated consciousness regarding "real" hate crimes. So, they twist and spin things around a bit to try to make ANY CRITICISM of them into a "hate crime". It doesn't matter that it is all BS, and a pretty severe twisting of the facts and truth, BUT it "helps them". Same old thing with Scn - if it "helps" them, no matter how false, no matter how much of a lie, no matter how much a spin on facts, they DO IT! It is ALL PR, maunufacturing agreement and trying to get people to THINK along certain lines. And "truth" is of absolutely no concern to them. To them, "reality", brought about by garnering "agreement", is ALL that matters. Apparently, to them, there is no "truth" outside of what any person AGREES to be true - so the goal of the well-trained PR Church staff member is to get them to agree with what you want them to agree with!

Sorry, Aaron, I'm sure you mean well but I don't know you. I'm not going by your opinions about yet another person I've not met.

And for god's sake, if you're going to sit in almighty judgment over people, then at least try and spell their fucking names correctly.

Aaron, Marty is not the problem.

Any attention you spend on him is removing focus away from getting rid of the Sea Org.

I do find it rather amusing how much attention Marty Rathbun (note the spelling) is getting, considering how unimportant several ESMBers apparently consider him to be. :eyeroll:

I also find it rather frustrating. I can’t see how Rathbun is doing anything other than making it easier for all of us who oppose the ‘Church’ of Scientology and the abuses perpetrated in it’s name. He has provided a rallying point for many ‘true believers’ who would probably never listen to us and given them an acceptable route out of the cult. He has also provided a target for Miscavige (there always has to be a WHY / WHO) which diverts attention from us and he has been and continues to be a vocal critic of Miscavige and the CoS (in it’s current form), getting a lot of media coverage in the process.

I really don’t see what the big deal is with going after Rathbun. Don’t we have a more pressing target right now?

If you want to have a serious discussion with him and all the other supporters of the Scientology ‘Tech’, can’t that wait until the CoS has been dismantled? Perhaps by then, most of the supporters will have had a chance to educate themselves and change their minds?

And, just as a matter of interest, who here has actually met the guy?

Well clearly there are some significant unanswered questions about his responsibilities & actions, still in part what I think you are observing is the critic's community counterpart to a common feature of the scientology freezone.

It is commonly the case that techies trained in scientology at different times & places have divergent views as to what constitutes "standard tech". Those individuals for whom "purity of tech" is THE all encompassing issue often have major attitudes with regard to others. I often refer to their mutual acrimony as the "My Tech is Purer Than Your Tech" flamewars. These flame wars use to occur quite commonly. With certain notable exceptions, they seem to be dying down somewhat of recent years broadly speaking.

I think the critic community has something of a parallel to this phenomena in the "My Hatred of Scientology is Greater Than Your Hatred of Scientology". MR himself is still a bit of a cipher. There are legitimate concerns about his intentions and well as his present activities. Still, to some extent his actions & comments I feel have served as fodder to some of the more passionate critics not satisfied with his criticism of the Co$.

Mark is collecting powerful groups of people from the executive strata and watchdog committee under his wing, then lecturing on what methods they should or should not take against Scientology. I don't have a problem with Mark being the Brigham Young of Scientology, I find it worrisome that he is chastising Australian Scientologists for their methods of attack and advocating people away from that course of action.

I toned it down

My post was more antagonistic than intended, so I edited it.

I met Marty a few times, although I was a no one to him so I doubt I left any real impression upon him.

I think I may have left an impression now though. LOL.

The concern I have about Marty is that I do not wish him to gain steam or momentum.

People are out of the SO and Scn and looking for answers. Marty is providing people with answers. The same answers, wrapped differently with a new shiny bow.

I do not wish to see Marty rise to take over the Church or start a freezone movement until he has evaluated Scientology properly.

I consider him a threat. I know he will do further actions to undermine the Church to see it change.

However, he has managed to pull the wool over the guys of many people using excellent PR and Rollback methods.

He, like DM, will not engage me or another person that can really argue because he knows he would lose the arguement and his status will be deminished.

Thus, he surrounds himself with those that he can defeat in an arguement, or sway. I don't care either way, and take it both ways. And dare I say it, sometimes with the things I say, I deserve it.

But I can live with that.

One last thing

I would imagine I will not meet everyone on this board. So, to the person who said "Aaron, I haven't met you and your opinion...." blah blah blah, I invite you to re-read it.

I am asking you to LOOK, not listen. Go look. Please. At data, not opinion. True, I have an opinion about Marty. It is based on some pretty solid evidence I have found. I will not present that evidence here. The reason is because you should be off finding it for yourself.

Time spent on Marty and not destroying the SO? True. However Marty is attempting to establish a new SO of sorts. So he is as much a valid target as the SO is. Both are control structures designed to get us to follow blindly.
