Subject: David Miscavige: Obscenity-screaming midget http://web.tiscali.it/scientologyinfo/to_be_pope.html To be a Pope Have you ever wondered what qualities it takes to be the leader of a religion? This short document will explore the character oF David Miscavige, now effectively the Pope of the controversial religion known as Scientology*. Little was known about his character when he succeeded the founder of Scientology, science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, on his death. But data gleamed from court cases over the years have revealeda profile of this man. One of the closest men to L. Ron Hubbard when he was alive was his butler, Andre Tabayoyan, who also worked directly for David Miscavige. His extensive affidavit supplied in a controversial court case in 1994 (Geertz, Fishman vs RTC) is used as the source to shed light on this mysterious new Pope of Scientology. The Formative Years Starting at an early age and being immersed in the ethics of your religious fraternity, does of course give you a head start in pursuing a career as a religious leader. David was fortunate in this regard. His adherence to his religious responsibilities started at an early age. Miscavige is a second generation Scientologist. He was born into Scientology, a high school drop out and became one of Hubbard's Commodores Messengers as a teenager. In this capacity, I have been informed and believe that he was responsible for many multi-million dollar illegal international currency transfers. He did this as an innocent looking young courier. Mucking in with the Team David rose to be the head of the group of Scientology elite called the Sea Org, each of whom are expected to work in excess of 100 hoursper week. It sometimes happens that the production of this group falls lower than expected. In this case "ethics" conditions are applied. Here is an example of his mucking in with the rest of the team at their base called Gold, at Hemet. At Gold, hundreds of Sea Org members would be deprived of adequate sleep and put on a diet of rice and beans sometimes for six weeks at a time-and their weekly pay of approximately $30 would be cut in half. This would be punishment for lower ethics conditions such as poor production. However, when this occurred, David Miscavige would still eat his bacon, eggs, sandwiches and steak dinners. Inspiring Loyalty It is, of course, important for a leader to be able to inspire loyalty amongst those who work for them. High turnaround of staff is not conducive to success and it is better if continuity of employment can be achieved in some way. In this respect David excelled. Over the years I was at Gold base, a significant number of people at the base announced, or by their conduct indicated, to me that they wanted to leave. Julie Fisher stated repeatedly that she wanted to leave. She said that she did not want to remain at Gold base. My instructions were to keep her on the base. Mark Fisher, who was severely beaten by Miscavige repeatedly told Miscavige and others that he did not want to be at the Hemet base. As Miscavige and others beat Mark in my presence, Mark kept saying that his attackers could beat him all they wanted but he still wanted to leave. Finally, Miscavige expressed his contempt and disgust at Mark and left the guard house where Mark was being held. [Wondering about the picture on the front?

A thoughtful and encouraging word at the right moment does wonders in raising morale and cementing loyalty. David has a reputation of being very active in this respect. Miscavige also crosses corporate lines to berate and scream intimidating obscenities and profanities at persons not of RTC. Once I did not achieve my target and Miscavige came at me, stood twelve inches from my face, and called me a "motherf--ker" and a "son of a bitch" for about 10 minutes And on another occasion. I also observed Miscavige brief the CSI crew at the base on how upset he was with the CSI crew for the way they had replied to a survey. CSI staff were asked where they wanted to live, and a lot of the CSI staff answered they would like to live off the base (the Hemet compound) for personal reasons. Miscavige began screaming and spat at the entire crew and said, "I spit on you" and "F--- you". Have You Got What it Takes?
