More of Scientology's Tax Irregularities [video]

david miscavige motorcycle Yesterday, the big story was Scientology's corporate tax havens around the world. Today, it's right here in the United States.

Seems Scientology's International Headquarters has some peculiar paperwork as to who owns what where in California. For some odd reason, Scientology just can't seem to get it straight what addresses they headquarter out of.

Seems like a simple enough task. But why lower themselves to worry about some silly wog paperwork, when after all, they've got a planet to clear.

Miscavige's Super Adventure Club squirrel house ‎‎may warrant a little closer scrutinization.

L.Ron Hubbard and The New World Order [audio]

lron hubbard journal 67 New World Order, alien domination, currency conspiracies, nazi psychiatrists. Yep, that's the inner world of Scientology's SeaOrg mindset. Spoon-fed Hubbard's post atomic paranoid delusions. It's no wonder it produces a bunch of couch jumpers set on clearing the planet.

It's also no wonder the current management is hard at work whitewashing a lot of Hubbard's original writings and recordings to get them up to speed with today's politically correct society. Below, we have a video of an ex-scientologist from Australia, who lets us in on how an upper-level scientologist/seaorg member looks at the outside world while looking through Hubbardized glasses. Makes you want to get out your old civil defense training manuals and hide under your desk.

Scientology's Leader Recites Cruise's Confessionals For Cocktail Party Jokes

david miscavige reads tom cruise's secrets at parties TMZ ~ Tom Cruise was secretly videotaped as he spilled his guts in Scientology confessional sessions, and those tapes became fodder for Scientology cocktail party humor.

This according to a high-profile and former high-level member of Scientology.Mark Rathbun says in his blog, he recorded Cruise during the confessional sessions and Scientology guru David Miscavige read the transcripts at parties, "joking and laughing" at them.

Rathbun says the video was "well-concealed" in the VIP auditing room, per orders of Miscavige. Rathbun says Miscavige ordered him to prepare transcripts of the sessions. The, according to Rathbun, Miscavige would hold late night whiskey parties, reading the transcripts and laughing out loud.

And if we jump over to the VillageVoice, we get a little more info on the story, although it be printed with all the clubhouse Scientogese intact, so have your decoder rings ready:

Well, my suspicions about DM's (David Miscavige) real purposes for recording Tom's confessions have been confirmed as warranted. I have recently learned from a very reliable witness that DM regularly held court with others in his personal lounge in the roadside Villas at the Int base, and while sipping scotch whiskey at the end of the night,

Miscavige would read Tom's overts and withholds from my reports to others, joking and laughing about the content of Tom's confessions. My witness is unimpeachable in my eyes as his account contains too many accurate details from someone who had zero reason (or ability) for being anywhere near Tom's folders, videos and reports direct to DM. I also know he was a regular, preferred guest at DM's scotch night caps during that period.

Scientology Leader Memorizes Star's Confessionals [video]

Rush & Molloy ~ Former high-ranking member Amy Scobee claims go to amazon
in her just-out book (due May 9th), "Scientology: Abuse at the Top," that Miscavige and other officials "snooped" in confidential confessional files - a charge vehemently denied by the church.[archived past examples]
Amy Scobee's Scientology: Abuse at the Top
The Color of Cookware
The Church of Scientology is bringing down the hammer on a renegade member who alleges leader David Miscavige loves to gossip about his star parishioners. But it seems Miscavige "is known to pride himself on having memorized the sexual irregularities of practically every staff member" at one church facility - sometimes teasing them about their kinks in front of others. Hummmm, pot-kettle?

Officials privately grilled church members who work for celeb Scientologists to check whether the celebs were "deviating" from "Scientology's moral code."

More Kitchen Cutlery
Church spokesman Tommy Davis brands all of Scobee's claims as "fiction." He insists Miscavige's purported dish session "never happened. Nobody in the church has ever violated the priest-penitent privilege. ... [confessional files] are held in the strictest confidence."

Scobee brings up a very good point: "If confessionals are never violated, what's Tommy [Davis] doing talking about my sex life?" [much more @ nydaily news]

David Miscavige Turns The Big 50 Tomorrow

david miscavige birthday 50 Yep, the years a flying by faster than a DC-8 with Titan boosters strapped to it, because it's Scientology's current leader's, David Miscavige, 50th birthday (Friday, April 30th).

And just in time for it, internet activist group, Anonymous have released a list of 1000 people who’ve left his Church Cult — and spoken out against it.

And let's not forget this is the year that the media lost it's fear of reporting said 'cob'ulator's fair-gaming group.

They're writing up on everything from, the recently mentioned, sweetheart IRS deal he made back in the 90's to stories of his wrestlemania style beat-downs that he held at his 'Golden Error' desert compound.

Oh, and Davie, just to help you recognize all the guests that appear at your door tomorrow for the party- Karma, she'd be the bitch. And she RSVP'ed.

FBI Arrests 'Final Bosses Of The Internet' [lol]

Second US man admits DDoS attack on Scientology
From all the hype on this story, you'd think the FBI and Scientology, after two years, had single-handedly cracked the secretive underworld of Anonymous by arresting and placing in custody two of upper echelon leaders (or final boss(es) of the internet) that they believe are controlling the, often stereotyped nefarious, group (or hackers on steroids, lol).
theregister.co.uk ~ Mettenbrink, 20, of Nebraska, said he downloaded custom software from a message board controlled by the anti-Scientology group known as Anonymous with the intent of inflicting damage to the COS, or Church of Scientology. He was the second individual to plead guilty in the attacks. In October 2008, Guzner, then an 18-year-old from Verona, New Jersey, admitted he also helped carry out the attacks.

A poster at slashdot.org sums it up nicely:
You're missing the idea behind Anonymous.
We are not Anonymous because we hide our names.
We are Anonymous because our names mean nothing.
We are disillusioned mundane people who are nothing and mean nothing.
We are something only as a Legion.
We are fans of Fight Club, but without illusions, a leader or a purpose. And with more malice.
We are tired with the system, and break it when and where we can.
Our only powers are numbers, variety and unpredictability.
Losing one or two of us means nothing.

They try to give a name to the threat, by providing the name of one of the people behind the Anonymous. That's like trying to fight avalanche by removing two rocks from it and giving them names.
Where's Your Head At?
Seems they just can't wrap their heads around this fact: Anonymous is a constantly sub-dividing, splintering group. Also, this really wreaks havoc in the Final Boss's HR department, trying to keep all those employee paychecks straight.[note: I submitted a sick-day slip last wednesday; how come i didn't get paid for it?]

Rocketboom, fortunately, has been documenting the constantly changing intertubes landscape in a video series titled: Know Your Meme. Below is the installment entitled Chanology, which should get your dual-core back up to speed, if you're unfamiliar with the term.

Miscavige's God-awful Christmas Card [pic]

scientology rtc christmas card
Just when you thought Scientology couldn't creep-out Christmas anymore than they do already, they go and upstage themselves.

Thanks to a reader of leavingscientology, we get to gander at this year’s, most ostentatious display of excess, RTC Christmas Card.

"It is as big as a coffee-table book, ornately foiled, die-cut and hand-assembled. It is estimated that each card could have cost as much as $50 to print and assemble. The postage alone, on each card, was $5.00. It went out to “top Scientologists.” One of them, disgusted by the expense and ostentation, photographed it and sent us [in] the shots."

Yes, Scientology really has a habit of picking some beauties for their symbols. 'X'ed out crosses, pyramids, snakes and the card Miscavige sent out has a strange resemblance to an inverted pentagram.

This could be from L.Ron Hubbard's habit of borrowing [video: 13heathans] from other philosophies and religions, namely his pal Aleister Crowley [video: Hubbard audio], or maybe David Miscavige just thought it looked really cool.

Not to get all tinfoily, at what point do you draw the line between coincidence and conscious intent. I mean, how many quacks are needed before you determine a duck is a duck?

Festivus for the rest of us?
scientology christmas card Well, we've seen what the high-rollers got in the mail this year, but what do the minions of Scientology receive?

Why it's a card with a photo of L.Ron auditing an evergreen tree, asking for crusade donations. And a creepy little message from Hubbard himself (from beyond the grave), describing the Scientology's egoistical view of Christmas:

"...We are the protectors of the real tradition of Christmas - Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all. We are the hope of Man - the only hope. Mankind's salvation lies within our hands...".

I agree with what a poster at WWP said:"If that quote is for real, it offends every believing Christian on this planet on so many levels."

Xenu's Temple of Doom next?
Since so much is borrowed, I'm waiting for Miscavige to discover more lost Hubbard writings that include the Xenu Ritual inside the base of a volcano. Yeah, you know he wants to do it. If you've ever seen the gaudy sets [video: Scientology Award Ceremony] he uses for his presentations, it's the only direction left to go. Recreate the Raiders of the Lost Ark: Temple of Doom set (perfect for roasting chestnuts).

Channel4 SECRET LIVES: L. Ron Hubbard [video]

50 min. Aired: Nov 19th 1997 Channel 4, UK
With his book, Dianetics, a best-seller, Ron Hubbard was America's new guru. In August 1950, at a lecture hall in Los Angeles he presented to a crowd of 6,000 the first person to be what he called a 'clear'. She was a student called Sonya Bianca. As a clear, she was supposed to have total recall.

"Various members of the audience called questions at her. Could she remember what was said on page 217 of her physics textbook? She couldn't. Could she remember what she had for breakfast on the morning of August 17, 1946? She couldn't. Then various people called out for Hubbard to turn his back on her and see if she could remember the colour of his tie. She couldn't. At that moment, the whole business sort of collapsed. People started leaving the auditorium."

Suddenly Hubbard was in trouble. He was accused of being a con-man and Dianetics a form of hypnotism., a technique at which he was so expert.

Ferguson: Tom Cruise Is From Uranus [video]


independent.uk Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Japan's Prime Minister-elect, Yukio Hatoyama, is a lifestyle guru, a macrobiotics enthusiast, an author of cookery books, a retired actress, a divorcee, and a fearless clothes horse for garments of her own creation, including a skirt made from Hawaiian coffee sacks. But there is more, much more. She has traveled to the planet Venus. And she was once abducted by aliens.

The 62-year-old also knew Tom Cruise in a former incarnation – when he was Japanese – and is now looking forward to making a Hollywood movie with him.

"I believe he'd get it if I said to him, 'Long time no see', when we meet," she said in a recent interview. But it is her claim in a book entitled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered" that she was abducted by aliens while she slept one night 20 years ago, that has suddenly drawn attention following last Sunday's poll.


Well....I've got this to say about that. Sounds like she's ripe for Scientology Land. Better yet, I'll just let Craig Ferguson fill us in on the spacey news item . He pretty much says what I was going to say, but it sounds much funnier with a Scottish accent, lol ...

David Miscavige: Big(gest) SEO Failure

A High School Education. It Works, And It Helps People.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results. And it's clearly a concept that the leader of Scientology does not understand. Throwing money at something does not always equal results.

From a thread at WWP: With David Miscavige searches pulling up the loveliest of sites these days, it looks like the Scientologists are releasing "new" press releases trying to get some of their sites to at least show up on the first page. They have been randomly splattered all over the place like cat spray. I just saw two in the last day from blogs that are recycling old news as new news.

Besides their own sponsored result, it looks as if they have been moved all the way down to the bottom of the search results depending on which one you use. Bing actually only returned one Scilon site and all else had true data about David Miscavige on them.

David Miscavige While I have no idea who runs the David Miscavige site that has the most true information on him, it appears that in its short period on the internet, it has steadily risen on search results and proves to deliver the goods.

David Miscavige relies heavily on his PR to push his new programs. As long as the correct information on him is steadily provided, he will lose ground and more and more Scilons will find out what he has been up to. He has scared hundreds of members into staying in and following his rules. When they find out that he is the laughing stock of the internet and incapable of doing a thing to stop it, I am sure these people will start finding out the truth and GTFO of Scilonville.


And just because there is so much of it on the internet, a few videos featuring our SEO Wonderboy:

Miscavige, Scared Of The Press & History

death of lisa mcpherson is cult leader's titanic, that keeps resurfacing

Earlier this week, the St. Petersburg Times did a special report on Scientology leader David Miscavige, but he couldn't find the time to do an interview that might affect the standing of his church, not to mention him personally.

After he was notified that the Times was going ahead with the printing without his input, he e-mailed a statement brow-beating them for not giving him a chance to "provide information annihilating the credibility of your sources". He goes on to say, "I am at a loss to comprehend how the St. Petersburg Times can publish a story about me and the religion I lead without accepting the offer to speak with me".

What David didn't realize, the Times also added the length of time he had been offered in a footnote: " Editor's note: The Times first requested an interview with Mr. Miscavige on May 13, and offered to meet with him in person, or interview him by telephone at any time since."

In more than a months time, he couldn't pick-up the phone to do a interview, but could arrange a "church spokesmen, executives, attorneys and others [to fly] in from around the country to meet with reporters in Clearwater. The parade started with ex-wives of the three male defectors. In 25 hours of meetings with reporters, the two church lawyers and two spokesmen extolled the accomplishments of David Miscavige and attacked the credibility of the defectors."

this was no accident of a busy schedule. this was policy.

Right out of Scientology's strategies for managing the news media

Before taking with any Scientology PR or executive, a journalist must know that he or she will be talking to a fanatic -- a person seeking to save the world. This is exactly what Scientologists believe they are doing. Moreover, unless you stand ready to print a Scientology story exactly as presented, you will be viewed as an enemy.

Realize that when you are dealing with a PR or official of the Church of Scientology, religious image is not only a vital PR defense (the ecclesiastical equivalent of wrapping oneself in the flag) but is also crucial for tax-exemption purposes and for court cases. Thus the PR must be sure to demonstrate that Scientology is "an applied religious philosophy." The PR will have many documents to "prove the religious bona fides" of Scientology (but lack anything to the contrary -- such as decisions or rulings -- of which he may honestly not know) .

Politicians are notorious for responding to a question without answering it; Scientology PRs practice the skill for hours on end. The PR will drill how to answer simple questions about Scientology, how to "no-answer" a question, how to stall for time, and how to attack. (According to the original material, this included shouting, banging the desk, pointing at the reporter, and swearing.) [listen to audio sample of Tommy Davis, church spokesman, below]

Depending on your story angle, you can easily find yourself buried by packs of documentation. Some are called "DA [dead agent] packs." Hubbard took the phrase from Sun-tzu's "The Art of War," in which different types of agents are described. The "dead agent" is the one who is caught in a lie. The "DA pack" is supposed to counter a lie (thereby rendering the liar "dead" as a credible source) and usually addresses a particular document, from a newspaper article to a book.
It is also used to discredit a person or a group that may be a source of criticism of Scientology. A DA pack can include anything from Hubbard's writings to a piece of press to an affidavit obtained by a private investigator.
The purpose is to refute the targeted piece, person or group at virtually any cost. If the article presents no clear-cut falsehoods or errors but paints Scientology in an unfavorable light, the DA becomes a general reply (usually an attack on the source) that may be issued as a pamphlet, an ad, or an article.
In Scientology, only trained PRs are supposed to talk to the press. If an exception is made, it will be only those that are proofed up or drilled or have a proven track record of talking to the media about Scientology, and then it is often with a PR present.


Example: Tommy Davis Looses It
Audio from Part 5 of St.Pete Times: The Church of Scientology's Response.



Another recent example of the Scientology-Run-Around is documented in Nathan Baca's blog (of KESQ News3) while trying to get an interview/tour scheduled at Golden Era Productions, Miscavige's home, earlier this year. Well, that never happened, but they did end up in Los Angeles interviewing, none other than, Tommy Davis. Small world.

the miscavige interview was never going to happen

The Lisa McPherson debacle that was all bought and paid for was about to resurface. And Miscavige was going to be queried on it.

Her death on Dec. 5, 1995, triggered nine years of investigations, lawsuits and worldwide press coverage. Alive on the Internet, it stains Scientology’s reputation still. Rathbun, who defected from Scientology’s staff in late 2004, admits that as prosecutors and attorneys for McPherson’s family prepared subpoenas, he ordered the destruction of incriminating evidence about her care at the Fort Harrison.

He and others who have left the church disclose for the first time that Miscavige was involved in McPherson’s Scientology counseling. Just weeks before her mental breakdown, they say, it was the leader himself who determined that she had reached an enhanced mental state that Scientologists call “clear.’’

The full story can be viewed in Death in Slow Motion: Part 2 of 3 in a special report on the Church of Scientology.

Religious Leader Beats Followers Says Ex's [video]

church stoops to releasing members confessionals to counter

Gawker: The St. Petersburg Times is running a massive report on Scientology, focusing on leader David Miscavige and high-ranking defectors spilling on him. Revealed: Miscavige's sadistic temper. Like when he made staffers play 'violent' musical chairs, scored to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Scientology sat down with St. Petersburg Times reporters for 25 hours trying to debunk the defectors' tales of Miscavige. They even went to far to prepare them binders of the private confessions and ethics files - yeah, ethics files - of former members. One commenter writes in on their website: "As a former Scientologist of 20 years, its sad to see that the chruch would stoop to using members confessionals against them. How can anyone trust anything they say if they violate their own teachings."

tampabay.com: On May 13, the Times asked to interview Miscavige, in person or by phone, and renewed the request repeatedly the past five weeks. Church officials said Miscavige's schedule would not permit an interview before July.

At 5:50 p.m. Saturday, Miscavige e-mailed the Times to protest the newspaper's decision to publish instead of waiting until he was available. His letter said he would produce information "annihilating the credibility'' of the defectors.

What triggered Miscavige's outbursts? The victims usually had no clue. "If it wasn't the answer he wanted to hear, he'd lose it," De Vocht said. "If it was contrary to how he thought, he'd lose it. If he found it to be smart aleck, or it was a better answer than he had, he would lose it."

Rathbun and Rinder list the executives they saw Miscavige attack:

• Marc Yager: At least 20 times.
• Guillaume Lesevre: At least 10 times.
• Ray Mithoff: Rathbun said Miscavige "would regularly hit this guy open-handed upside the head real hard and jar him. Or grab him by the neck and throw him on the floor."
• Norman Starkey: "Right in the parking lot, (Miscavige) just beat the living f--- out of him, got him on the ground and then started kicking him when he was down,'' Rathbun said.
• He said he saw Rinder "get beat up at least a dozen times just in those last four years … some of them were pretty gruesome."
• Said Rinder: "Yager was like a punching bag. So was I."
• He added: "The issue wasn't the physical pain of it. The issue was the humiliation and the domination. ... It's the fact that the domination you're getting — hit in the face, kicked — and you can't do anything about it. If you did try, you'd be attacking the COB.
• "It was random and whimsical. It could be the look on your face. Or not answering a question quickly. But it always was a punishment.''
• Scobee said Miscavige never laid a hand on her or any other woman, but she witnessed many attacks, including the time the leader choked Rinder until his face turned purple. Rinder confirmed that account.
• De Vocht estimated that from 2003 to 2005, he saw Miscavige strike staffers as many as 100 times.

Rathbun, Rinder and De Vocht admit that they, in turn, hit others. In January 2004, Rathbun pummeled Rinder and had to be pried off by several church staffers.

"Yes, that incident happened," Rinder said. "It wasn't the only time that Marty or I was involved in some form of physical violence with people."

He recalled holding a church staffer against a wall by the collar and pressing into his throat.

Rathbun said he attacked many people, many times, including throwing Lesevre across a table, boxing Starkey's ears, and tackling Yager down a flight of stairs — all, he said, on Miscavige's orders. He said he threw another staffer against the hood of a cab at Los Angeles International Airport. As a crowd gathered to watch, he cocked his fist and told him to improve his attitude.

De Vocht said he "punched a couple of guys" during one of many sessions where managers confessed their wrongdoings to their peers, a gathering that got raucous and physical. Embarrassed about it now, he says he easily rationalized it then: "If I don't attack I'm going to be attacked. It's a survival instinct in a weird situation that no one should be in."

The four defectors each said the leader established a culture that encouraged physical violence.

Google and Gates on Green Revolution [video]

this isn't your fathers revolution, this is the Rev2.0
blogs.nytimes: Google said Friday that it was adding Persian, or Farsi, to the languages it is able to translate to and from automatically through the Google Translate service.

The company said it hoped the service, which it rushed because of the turmoil in Iran, would be used by people inside and outside of that country to communicate and stay abreast of events. The service is available at translate.google.com.

“There is a huge amount of interest about the events in Iran,” said Franz Och, principal scientist at Google, who has been leading the development of Google Translate. “We hope that this tool will improve access to information in Iran and outside,” Mr. Och said in an interview.

In a blog post, Mr. Och warned that the service is not perfect, so mistakes are possible. It is optimized to translate between Persian and English, but Google is working on improving translation between Persian and the other languages in Google Translate.

This will certainly take a load off iWWP's translation section that was run by volunteers. But you can still request/pick up translated (sub-titled, not voice-over) YouTube videos. Anonymous-Iran still has it's server problems today, disappearing at times, but recovering much more quickly than yesterday.

latimesblogs.latimes.com: A reporter at a Pentagon news briefing asked both Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the effect of new personal communication technology and social networking, specifically concerning Iran.

Gates recalled the role that the Internet played in penetrating the old Iron Curtain, helping the Soviet Union to crumble and liberating Eastern Europe from Communist domination. And Gates noted, with apparent pleasure, that some unnamed countries around the world (can you say Iran and China?) can try to block these evolving communications but can no longer shut them all down.

Gates admitted he hasn't "a clue." Mullen says he's on Facebook and Twitter to be connected to the younger volunteer armed forces. Video below provided by C-SPAN.






Oh, and what's Scientology doing during all this freedom upheaval going on around the globe? Using their OT super-powers to quell the conflict in Iran? Nope. Lending their language translation skills that they are known for boasting of. Nope.
I guess they just haven't figured out how to make a buck out of this situation yet, because alls they're promoting is their new video website that contains Meet a Scientologist propaganda.
Maybe Tom Cruise hasn't seen the picture of this accident. Because we all know, now, that Tom is the only one that can help.

KESQ: Child Labor, Abortions Inside Scientology

KESQ: Former Scientologists Claim Coerced Abortions, Child Labor Inside Church
Former Scientologist Maureen Bolstad:
• "I was actually one of the older ones at 17. There were 13-year-olds, 12-year-olds," Bolstad recollects. "There was just one kid, 12-years-old that was given an executive responsibility doing something. He had a complete nervous breakdown."
• "I was taught to lie too. I got a worker's comp claim form. They ask you how many hours do you work a week. And I was told to put 40 hours."
• "If a woman gets pregnant, and does not abort the child, then they are declared a suppressive person. Because, it kind of started out gradually. At first, the thing was, the Church of Scientology International did not want to pay for child care."


Also, at the end of the segment, Nathan Baca calls out Tommy Davis, spokesman for Church of Scientology, and David Miscavage, leader of the Church of Scientology, for a comment on what Channel 3 had run thus far on the Scientology VS Anonymous . As of now, no reply from either. I believe their silence speaks volumes.
It seems when given the chance to advertise their church on a news segment with softball questions, they jump right at the chance, but when cornered on specifics about their pay as you go religion, they are suddenly at a loss for words.
Odd since their cornerstone, supposedly, is built on communication.

Secret Scientology Palin Plot Exposed


John Coale, currently advising Sarah Palin on running for president in 2012, is a Scientologist.
And according to a memo obtained by Gawker, Coale once plotted to use friendly politicians to advance the power-hungry cult's agenda. Coale is a prominent Washington power broker and husband to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.
According to the Washington Post, he is running Palin's political action committee behind the scenes and "guiding [her] political image in Washington."
...[continued at gawker.com]

The Newsweek cover (right) would really be more suited for the above article, and it's too bad Palintology.com is down as of this writing, but this isn't the first time Scientology has been caught with it's hands in the government's cookie jar.

You've probably seen it, but have you ever taken the time to research it? Of course we're talking about Operation 'Snow White'. In the 1970's, under this program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, and theft of documents in government offices, most notably those of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Eleven highly-placed Church executives, including Mary Sue Hubbard (wife of founder L. Ron Hubbard and second-in-command of the organisation), pled guilty or were convicted in federal court of obstructing justice, burglary of government offices, and theft of documents and government property.

Maybe we should stop chasing imaginary WMD's and start paying attention to fanatical para-military religious groups that are trying to hijack the presidency. Just a thought.

Where's Your Head At, Scientology?


With all this XENU Revealed! media going on around the intertubes, you would think the midget king, David Miscavage, would poke his head out of whatever hole he's hiding in to defend the most ethical, fastest growing religion in the galaxy.

• Maybe all these volcano eruptions and rumblings this week have little Davie spooked, because he knows, according to Scientology's Incident III story, Xenu is trapped in a mountain (or volcano?) on one of the planets and kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery.

• Maybe he's down at the local Walmart trying to find an eternal battery charger, and got lost in aisle 666.

• Maybe he's just grabbed all Scientology's money, and is living on and island with Gilligan, 'cause we all know, Davie don't play that MaryAnn game.

• Maybe he found a portal into the Milky-Container Way, and is waiting for you to by his carton, so he can be released.

Who knows, who cares. Just sit back, hit play, and make your own best guess.
