In reply to Noesis. If this sex scandal was so innocent Tony, why would it have been elevated to a federal case. There is something you are leaving out in your debunk job.

Just for fun. I met some of this group in London this past April and a couple of them came to Cleveland for HowdyCon. I mentioned to Johnny Tank that I would be back in Europe this fall and that it would be fun to get a group together to hang out n Amsterdam, so we made it happen.
I will be in Amsterdam for 3 weeks so if you are around I would love to meet you.

I highly recommend meeting bunker people. They are warm and wonderful.

Hi,

Ah, nice group of people! It is a pitty I can’t enjoy the meeting. I travel to Indonesia for business and visiting family.
I regretted that I could not go to Belgium for the lawsuit. I liked also to meet people from the Bunker .
Is there a special reason/ purpose for this meeting? Or just for fun?

If the National Enquirer caper did originate with DM – and truthfully, how could it not? – it’s a revealing look into how DM’s mind functions – capriciously, illogically, and with whatever emotional response best suits his ego in the present.
My take is that Marty Rathbun’s perspectives, after working so long under DM’s influence, are similar if not the same. Except I think Rathbun is wilier. He’s appears to be more adept in convoluting and disguising his intentions, as I now feel sure he did with Monique’s case against scientology. It would not surprise me if Rathbun secretly authored the case, a fact he may have hidden even from Ray Jeffries, and secretly ran it all along, directing Monique day by day what to tell Ray Jeffries. What IS surprising, and is in fact extraordinarily revealing, is that AT THE EXACT POINT WHERE RATHBUN HAD DM BY THE SHORT HAIRS, HE PULLED THE PLUG. HE ABORTED THE CASE. It’s eminently clear, of course, that Ray who got the case to that terrific point! Not Marty. And while Ray was moving ahead and winning, Marty was squealing and howling in the background that Ray was taking the case in the wrong direction. Of course, Marty had no intention of allowing his master, DM, to be deposed. And of course Rathbun had to keep up the pretense and smear Ray Jeffries for messing up the case. Really, Marty? You think we wouldn’t see through that? And smear Tony Ortega. And dump the hope of hundreds of thousands of logical sane former scientologists around the world who were supporting and routing for the case. I think the time for questions is over. It’s clear that Rathbun is totally beholden to DM. To what extent and under what layers of secrecy I do not know. For whatever its worth, that’s my insight for today, my friends 🙂 I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

I knew Mario Feninger well. A brilliant pianist. It is sad to say goodbye …

In reply to Alice Graves. I think he is mainly scared that people find out about him what he did, and thus also the obsession with other people's withholds.

In reply to Harpoona Frittata. I think you're on target there.
