I am a former staff member at the Int/Gold Base in Gilman Springs. I was declared by The Cob, Miscavige, and since then all attempts on my part to handle this on church have been ignored or “dead-filed” in violation of basic church policy. Hundreds more are in the same situation. Many of us are proven Scientologists with decades of meaningful contributions and accomplishments. Yet, Dave Miscavige, The Cob, closed the door on us permanently, in contravention of explicit Hubbard policy.

I can attest that the flagrant violations of the Church of Scientology are traceable to The Cob.

This is due to the fact that Dave Miscavige set himself up as The Cob, with complete dictatorial authority in the structure of the church and related corporate entities. He describes himself in his Religious Technology Center as ‘uniquely qualified’ to be the ultimate authority on all matters Scientological. And that is true, since through some 27 years he has successfully removed and/or nullified all potential threats.

Moreover, Hubbard never intended for Scientology to have a dictator. Dave Miscavige was neither assigned nor approved by Hubbard to be its sole leader. In fact, Hubbard directed Pat Broeker, whom he assigned the title, Loyal Officer, to be responsible for the Upper Level material left in note form. And he assigned Anne Tidman, to the post of Inspector General. This was part of an extensive check and balance system that Hubbard created to run the church and its related entities. The Cob has all but dismantled the entire structure.

As a further check and balance, Hubbard directed the Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) safeguard the above two posts. The Board of CST was to be manned by the highest trained and accomplished persons in Scientology. As insurance, Hubbard required these persons benefit from the full wealth of Scientology, both personally and as administrators. It remains a specific requirement of CST Board Members to study and audit a minimum of 2.5 hours per day to accomplish the above.

Further checks and balances included a Watchdog Committee, the Commodore’s Messenger Org, and the Executive Strata -- all directed to be proven veterans of Scientology management. And he made it the duty of every Scientologist to be personally responsible for keeping Scientology working.

Yet Cob claimed Pat Broeker intended to monopolize the discoveries of Scientology and exclude people from having it. The Cob claimed that he prevented this evil plot and thus "saved Scientology" when in actual fact he defied Hubbard's specific orders and has now turned Scientology into a cash cow.

At a word from him, anyone can be expelled permanently from Scientology in direct violation of Hubbard’s policy. People permanently declared are not eligible for services and other Scientologists are not allowed to speak to them.

Dave Miscavige is as devious as he is ruthless, we have to grant him that. And it was through his most devious arts he fabricated the biggest lie of all. 

The position of "Chairman of the Board" (of Religious Technology Center), the very post that he holds, upon which authority he undermined Scientology technology, destroyed countless lives, and annihilated the check and balance system Hubbard put in place to govern and prevent any single person from ever grabbing control of Scientology...

The very title “Chairman of the Board RTC” is itself the personal creation of Dave Miscavige. Per Hubbard, no such post exists.
