Two days, oh lord LOL. I meant two weeks…

That is all very interesting. I didn’t know that. I just assumed they used Scientologists for everything.

There is one group of lawyers for whom this is true: Ken-dick Moxon and Gary Soter. Some, like Helena Kobrin, are not Scientologists but make potentially millions on retainer to do Miscavige’s and the cult’s dirty work. Kobrin doesn’t really try cases, but I think of her as more a “fixer” behind the scenes trying to keep stuff out of court. Then there are the local talent, like the San Antonio crew working on the Debbie Cook trial. Again, those folks are not Scientologists, they are hired guns. And they are, in taking on an odious client like the cult, unlikely to accept anything less than top dollar for representing scumbags, especially ones who are a) desperate to try and weasel out of a mess, and b) going to insist on all sorts of odd things like allowing Miscavige to micro-manage everything.

This goes to a larger issue: the management structure is decimated, both in sheer numbers and in talent level, at all levels of the cult. Miscavige has eliminated not only any potential rivals, but potential competence. I’m hearing that a lot of the heavy lifting is done by “wog experts,” people like accountants and lawyers brought in from the outside to run things. These people are loyal only to the exorbitant fees they’re paid; they may well think the cult is a bunch of vile, disgusting morons, but they keep their mouth shut and do their jobs in legal, finance, and even security at Int Base. The good news here is that a) the cult wastes more money by hiring outsiders than by using staff earning $50 a week, and b) the “wog experts” are not so brainwashed that they might easily sing like canaries if the feds put the screws to them at some point in the future if investigating the cult…

Scientology gets money from their loyal followers.

People sue Scientology for money.

Scientology pays high-powered lawyers to defend them.

Scientology wins and lawyers get paid.

Lawyers are loyal followers.

Scientology gets money from their loyal followers….

There is no desire to rally troops. The only thing they ever do is sue people and raise funds. There is no other purpose to Scientology than to stash tons money and prevent anyone from getting at it.

The show looks terrible. I saw the previews. So do all the other shows that NBC is piloting. The only thing I watch on NBC is the news and football.

He eats small animals for amusement and throws people in a living pit that eats them. All we need is Han Solo and Luke to bring his palace down.

Thanks you guys! I love you too. I’m losing my mind at work right now. I have to keep reminding myself “It’s not the Sea Org”. Because if it was I wouldn’t be getting two days off to visit my family starting next week!
