“Cruise is consulted by Scientology leader David Miscavige on ‘every
aspect of planning and policy’”
Quite a lots of implication in that single statement. I have this
picture of an hypothetical scenario in David Miscavige, is in court to
account for the wrongs done do people in the name of Scientology, his
defense would be “Tom told me to do this!”.
The funny part is that Abelson denied with another statement that also
carries a lots of implications:
“He is a parishioner, a well respected parishioner, but that’s what he
is. The only person who runs the Church and makes policy decisions is
David Miscavige.”
Anyway, are the two statements inconsistent? Not really I think. Tom
Cruise is consulted, but David Miscavige makes the final decision,
after taking into account Tom Cruise’s ‘wisdom’.

As read on the Daily Mail:
Elliot Abelson, general counsel for the Church of Scientology:
“He didn’t ask to speak to David Miscavige and wrote some horrible
things about him which are totally untrue. No one has ever made
complaints of that kind.”

“No one”?
Actually there are reports out there that David Miscavige physically
assaulted staff. Larry Brennan made public statements supporting that
(2007):
“In that exact time period I have seen [David Miscavige] at the
churches International headquarters. I’ve seen him take a top WC
member, punch him hard on the mouth. Another one strangled down to the
floor. […]”

And how about Don Larson’s statements (1998):
“David Miscavige comes up, grabs him by the tie and starts bashing him
into the filing cabinet. And he’s thrown out in the street; his tie is
ripped off. Um, this is just a warm-up kind of bash.”

And for someone who promotes the machine-gunning of psychiatrists,
these accounts of beating are not exactly out of this world.

Will there be more of these accounts in 2008? Time will tell.
