Let’s Cut the Crap
There Are Only Two Sides
Soon, the Indict David Miscavige Initiative’s website will be up and running.
Until then, I just wanted to say this:
Yeah, I’ve heard about the new wave of anger and all the nasty shit being said in “the community.”
I’ve been warned. Asked to read it.
Some have insisted I must read it all to “understand.”
I don’t care.
I’m not listening. I’m not watching.
I’ve been invited to pick a side and even threatened with “disconnection” (though no one calls it that) if I chose the wrong one.
But I haven’t picked a side because there are only two sides:
Ours and His.
He wants you to believe there are two sides of ours.
That we’re divided. That we’re enemies.
And he’s fucking good at it.
He’s got the money to buy people off and he has.
There are operatives in your camp and in your life right now.
In your threads. In your group chats. In your feed. In your ear. In your face.
Their job?
Create chaos. Keep you turned around. Make you forget the real target.
And they’re not hard to spot.
Start looking at who’s always lighting the match
the ones stirring up conflict, sowing doubt, making personal attacks, and talking about other people’s reputations.
The ones pushing a false “us vs. them” inside the very group that should be united under one flag and one purpose.
That’s the op.
Remember: “Confront evil.”
You’ve got to see this for what it is.
This isn’t some general upheaval. It’s not a coincidence.
It’s someone or multiple someones creating it.
Like finding a nasty, plump, juicy tick in your hair after a hike
you’ve got to search for it and dig the nasty thing out.
You’ve either got the guts to spot them, or you don’t.
Until you do, you’re playing along like compliant little zombies.
Watch for how certain people react to this post. And other posts before it. Did they back off? Get louder? What are they really saying, who are they attacking, why and what really is their purpose for doing it?
Think like OSA. Think like Miscavige. Put yourself in their shoes. And you’ll start seeing a pattern and names.
Hate to break it to you:
Miscavige has built a new version of the Hole, only this time, it’s online.
If you’re stuck in a loop of outrage and confusion?
That’s where you are. And I’ve got to tell you this is exactly how it felt in the trailer. Mentally at least.
Bring them all together. Turn them against each other.
Distract. Implode. Render useless.
Same trick. New platform.
Don’t let him win.
Look for the ones pushing loudest against the common goal.
The ones talking about us instead of him.
The ones trying to convince you the fight is internal.
They’re really fucking loud.
Find them.
Call them out.
Shut them the fuck down.
Some good ones might get taken out by accident.
But until you root Dave’s people out of your headspace,
the noise won’t stop.
P.S. Yes, Dave—
I got your message.
The answer is, and will always be, no.
Hi Tom,
I used to be a Course Sup at Flag, and remember you from like the late 1979s, and knew Steve Dryer, your step dad, and your mom, and your sister, all who in the Sea Org way back then.
I've been an ex Sea Org critic since 2004 when I posted online, first and it was a whole different less built up "ciritcs" ex member scene, back then.
Someone has not attempted to write a whole history of the "critics" scene, but there are standouts who went to court, Gerry Armstrong, Dennis Erlich, Arnie Lerma, and a whole group of smart outsiders who were 1990s era critics, and then ex's, like Tory Christman, who did loads of helpful things.
The Lisa McPherson Trust had Jesse Prince, and Stacy Young/Minton who did loads of exposure, plus a lot of the late 1990s OT 8s who quit and spoke out.
There is just a HUGE amount of history trail behind the whole critics scene today, which is now kind of taken off into the second and third gen Scientologists.
I've been a watchful critic ex Sea Org since summer of 2004, I routed out of the RPF in March 2003.
So I've been watching quite a lot the whole evolution since then to now, but I'd be more like your mom's gen, other than I did not have children nor bring any children into the Sea Org.
Long range, my main advice, is adult educate oneself, try to read news magazines, even the main newspapers, and read books, so that you get the lay of human history and put your intense experience in the top ranks of the Sea Org, where you saw things quite foreign to averge people's lives. The amount of violence and ruthless behavior of David Miscavige you've had to witness and contend with, truly I wished that some people who were upclose to Miscavige like you, would meet some ex prosecutors, and kind of lay out what you witnessesed.
To indict Miscavige, truly, it's going to be with some top notch lawyers, like the Afermath Foundation's lawyer, who might either directly help you, and give you guidance how to really possibly indict, Miscavige, someday.
One person, from way back, who zero'd in on David Miscavige also, is Gerry Armstrong.
Gerry's done extensive legal battles, and one of thee judges in Gerry's case, said some of the most damning statements about LRH.
Anyways, I hope some existing or ex prosecutors reach out to you, or vice versa.
Indicitng Miscavige, for sure, no one disagrees with that, all the way back to Gerry Armstrong and just across the board.

old Flag Course Sup and Word Clearer, you know me, I'm sure.
I enjoy all your history telling, thanks Tom.
Hi Tom. Thank you for writing this. I don't know how else to reach out to you so I'm just going to leave a comment here to say that if you'd be interested, I would like to interview you on my podcast. If not, no biggie. Just thought I'd ask. I have many questions and I think you have interesting and informative things to say.
