On this special occasion, we’ll allow ourselves a little levity and congratulate Scientology leader David Miscavige on his 54th birthday with a humorous photo-illustration done by our old friend Jeffrey Augustine.
We weren’t invited to COB’s party, but we can pretend that we were. If we were toasting The Ecclesiastical Kid, which of his accomplishments would we make sure to mention?
— Pushing Pat and Annie Broeker out of the way for supreme Scientology generalissimo?
— “The War is Over?” (Bringing the IRS to its knees in 1993.)
— Luring Tom Cruise back into the fold (2000-2004) and then giving him the Freedom Medal of Valor?
— The Golden Age of Tech?
— The Basics?
— The Golden Age of Tech Phase II?
— The Super Power Building?
— Opening Ideal Orgs all over the world?
There are just so many. We’d like to hear your ideas for his greatest hits. What will he be remembered for?
And as we celebrate the pride of South Philly on his 54th, let’s remember who isn’t going to be at his party!
