“The Miscavige Legal Statements – a study in Perjury, Lies and Misdirection”
– Posting #11 – November 18, 2008

As covered in the first posting of this series, I am here listing quotes by David Miscavige contained in a legal document.

I. David Miscavige’s Quotes:

From DECLARATION OF DAVID MISCAVIGE – Church of Scientology International vs. Steven Fishman and Uwe Geertz – 8 February 1994

(link - http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/decl-miscavige-1994-02-08.html#armstrong )”

“62. Young also mentions Pat Broeker, and attempts to position Broeker as someone who had power and legitimacy within the Church structure. Young, who never held a senior management position during the entirety of his time in the Church, falsely claims that there was a power struggle between Broeker and me after the death of L. Ron Hubbard. This assertion demonstrates Young's lack of knowledge of the actual corporate structure of the Church. Pat Broeker was neither an officer nor a director nor a trustee of Religious Technology Center, CSI or any other Church corporation. It was only an ignorant and destructive few, such as Vaughn Young and Vicki Aznaran, who ever believed or supported Broeker's claims to authority. No removal of Pat Broeker occurred or was necessary. He simply did not hold any position in any Church corporation. Vicki Aznaran, on the other hand, was removed from her position as President and Inspector General of RTC. She herself has testified to the reasons for her removal -- employing an ex-GO staff member involved in criminal acts and allowing false Church scriptures to be presented as authentic writings of Mr. Hubbard, when she knew they were not.”.

II. The truth about the subject matter quoted:

This paragraph is an excellent example of David Miscavige falsely saying that someone does not have authority within organized scientology because they did not hold a corporate position. As I have posted many times, corporate structure in organized scientology is used to mask the real controls. Corporate directors, officers and/or trustees in organized scientology frequently have no real power in running anything, including their own corporations.

An overview of the real power within organized scientology and how that has nothing to do with corporate structure can be found in an old post of mine: http://tinyurl.com/3b8ome

The facts are that before Miscavige, Hubbard ran the real controls of organized scientology even though he had “resigned” as “Executive Director” in the 60s or so. Those who controlled the lines between Hubbard and organized scientology also had great authority. In the early 80s this included both Pat Broker who was with Hubbard and David Miscavige.

When I was on the Watchdog Committee at the top of organized scientology’s command chart, I had to go to their international headquarters in Hemet every week to comply with weekly orders each Watchdog Committee member got from Hubbard. Weekly we would go into a room called “the watchtower” and write our compliances to Hubbard.

Pat Broker was on the routing of that compliance and anything that Pat said had to be done had to be complied with as well. An example of the routing used for weekly compliances from myself as Watchdog Committee member X was as follows:

“To: *

cc: Big P

From: WDC X”

No names were ever used but “*” stood for L. Ron Hubbard and “Big P” stood for Pat Broker. In this example, “WDC X” stood for myself.

Pat Broker held a great deal of authority with an even closer connection to Hubbard than Miscavige had.

Hubbard himself had lied about his controlling organized scientology by denying it on a number of occasions. This included in a BBC interview where he noted that he had resigned as Executive Director and was not in charge which was wholly false.

Miscavige constantly lied about his controls of organized scientology using corporate veils as had been pointed out in earlier postings in this “perjury series”. I have also covered this in an affidavit (especially sections 18 onward re corporate) which can be found at: http://evil.scientology.googlepages.com/crs.pdf

There are others that can give details of what happened in 1986 when Hubbard died including Pat Broker apparently being given a high position called “Loyal Officer” by Hubbard, Broker being one of the people to brief all scientologists on Hubbard’s death and what really did happen in a power struggle between Miscavige and Broker.

I just wanted to add my few notes above to show: 1) Broker was in a high position, even closer to Hubbard than Miscavige in 1982 and 1983; 2) even the top seniors of scientology had to comply with Hubbard and Broker through that time period and 3) Miscavige is misdirecting the readers’ attention by falsely indicating that in organized scientology those who control matters have corporate positions.

Lots of people in organized scientology had “power and legitimacy within the Church structure” without being a corporate officer, director or trustee despite what Miscavige says. For example this would include all the Watchdog Committee Members or members of the Commodore’s Messenger Organization International, most of whom were not corporate authorities. In addition to that, all of these people were secretly controlled by Miscavige, Hubbard and Broker at that time despite none of those three having ANY corporate authority during that time period of the early 1980s.

Miscavige had ZERO corporate authority outside of Author Services in the first half of the 1980s when, for example, he:

1) removed top people in the organizations of scientology, including corporate officials, and replaced them with others of his choosing;
2) ran the top officials of organized scientology who had to report to him in Author Services;
3) beat top officials of organized scientology;
4) slapped top officials of organized scientology;
5) choked top officials of organized scientology;
6) spit on top officials or organized scientology;
7) ran the International Financial Police of organized scientology overseeing the wholesale abuse of hundreds of scientologists as he took over every major sector of organized scientology;
8 ) funneled tens of millions of dollars out of organized scientology to Hubbard by threatening the real corporate officials or doing it without their consent;
9) directly and through his assistant Norman Starkey oversaw and ran the intelligence arm of organized scientology within the “Special Unit” to carry out covert operations on who he saw as enemies of scientology; and
10) directly and through his assistant Norman Starkey oversaw and ran the litigation arm of organized scientology within the “Special Unit” to help fight who he considered “enemies”.

All of the above were carried out by Miscavige as he controlled and ran organized scientology at that time without any corporate authority of any kind. “Corporate authority” (being a director, an officer or a trustee) was meaningless with Hubbard, Miscavige, Broker and many others. Miscavige at all times knew this but uses the corporate cover to mask the real controls just as he did in his above quoted statement.


(III). My vote: “Perjury”, “Just a Lie” or “Simply Misdirection”

David Miscavige once again has committed perjury. His quote above while of interest is just a tiny piece of what will be shown to be decades of lies and cover-ups to hide his real controls of organized scientology and to help mask the thousands of abuses of scientology staff, public and anyone he considered enemies that have been carried out by Miscavige and/or those he controls.

Comments from anyone who wants to give them on this thread will be welcome. I welcome both agreement and disagreement and suggest that those concerned vote for “Perjury”, “Just a Lie” or “Simply Misdirection” as they see fit.

Eventually I plan to post on my blog the top actual examples of David Miscavige’s greatest perjury, lies and misdirecting statements to deflect attention away from organized scientology’s misdeeds as voted on by the general public. It should be interesting.

If any others reading this thread may want to add in their own examples of the truth which may be even more relevant than my own, please feel free to do so.

The entire list of these postings as well as other series’ of postings I plan to make through this next year will be found on my blogspot: http://larrybren.blogspot.com/

Larry,

"Pat Broeker...who never held a senior management position during the entirety of his time in the Church..."

I say Perjury.

I say this as having myself read binders and binders of "*" advices as well as CSW's and dispatches to "*".

"Big P" - Pat Broeker was on every single one of them as either a routing of authority, or a "cc".

It was well known at the Int Base that Pat and Annie Broeker had been 2nd in command after LRH died, and that there was a take over by Miscavige all under the guise that Pat and Annie had forged the Loyal Officer issue that LRH issued before his death - it was his last issue. Meaning, that if that issue really was forged, there were NO last words from LRH in ANY form before his death. How would the Church answer that one?

My vote is Perjury!

Cheers!
John

Larry, your series here is a tremendous contribution, for you are giving a very rare and privileged inside look at DM's machinations and lies. Yours is an important piece of history. That you have no financial motive and are presenting facts, names, dates, and events in a systematic manner speaks to your integrity and desire for the truth to be known.
