David "Darth Midget" has effectively been in charge of the C of S ever since Ron Hubbard was sequestered to keep him from any further interference with C of S governance around 15 Jan 1980. He gained complete and total control over C of S around mid-1988 after removing Pat and Annie Broeker from any position of control or authority.D.M. presided over the financial rape and destruction of the Mission Network that kept the C of S orgs supplied with new public (their actual job on every Hubbard-authored organization chart). So D.M. effectively killed official corporate Scientology in the early 1980's and the organization has been dying ever since.

I see that you buy into the "
glass is half full" theory of Scientology. To wit, that L. Ron Hubbard had
nothing to do with the "
financial rape and destruction of the Mission Network"--and that it was all Minister Miscavige's fault.
Then there those who believe that everything that happens in Scientology is Hubbard's fault. That's what Hubbard himself taught and believed. He calls it "total responsibility".
In either scenario I wouldn't want to remotely have anything to do with Scientology. Because:
- - If it's Hubbard's fault that the missions were financially raped, that is consistent with Hubbard's continuous raping of public Scientologists by selling them billions of dollars of miraculously magical powers that do not exist. And, thus, who would want to associate in any way with a degenerate con man?
- - On the other hand, if it was all Miscavige's fault, then Hubbard allowed that to happen, either by giving the power to Miscavige or by the sheer ineptitude of allowing him to have the power. In either of those scenarios, Hubbard scientifically proved that he himself was not "TOTAL CAUSE OVER LIFE", which is the core product that Scientology sells.
That's not what Scientologists signed up for. They didn't pay those vast fortunes to become "SOMEWHAT CAUSE OVER SOME THINGS PERHAPS SOME OF THE TIME".
SUMMARY: Hubbard went total effect. Anyone want to pay over a half million dollars for that EP? LOL
