Go Back
In order for the character of a human being to reveal truly exceptional qualities, we must have the good fortune to observe its action over a long period of years. If this action is devoid of all selfishness, if the idea that directs it is one of unqualified generosity, if it is absolutely certain that it has not sought recompense anywhere, and if moreover it has left visible marks on the world, then we are unquestionably dealing with an unforgettable character.

There was an anonymous message posting that Scn, Inc. attorney Helena Kobrin may be in mortal danger.

I received an email letter from Helena back in the mid-90's. It addressed six lines of something Hubbard wrote that were posted, and I responded to, including the worrisome six lines in my response (as netiquette suggests).

This was the time that the first batch of Kobringrams were sent out, calling us all "copyright terrorists" for wanting to comment on some of the hinkier policies and practices Hubbard dreamed up for his followers to pay for. It was an attempt to shudder us into silence; one of many that obviously has not worked.

I hope Helena's had time to form a plan for herself, and get the hell out and somewhere safe. I hope they're not holding the health of any of her relatives as security for her good behavior.

I wonder if she knows where Marty Rathbun and Warren McShane are, and I wonder if that knowledge is worrisome to her. I hope she will get in touch with media and law enforcement, such as Arnie suggested — going to the VP of Legal at Washington Post, for instance. Or the FBI. Hasn't this gone on long enough?

RE: Marty and Warren

Best would be Marty himself to come forward and speak up.

Warren McShane per blownforgood was still at Int, back in RTC, after a stint being busted temporarily to all-hands duties in Gold. Warren per blownforgood was likely monitoring all the chat sites, per the latest blownforgood knew.

The rumor that both are out, blown, in EU supposedly, both supposedly part of some "op" to "take the fall" somehow, just seems unlikely to me.

DM has beaten up (light physical abuse) too many people who HAVE gone public on the XSO chat group about what they saw and received, and those decades long trusted former Int staffers aren't bullshitting. (Ex Sea Org staff should do themselves a favor and get onto the XSO chat group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XSO)

DM will be instantly implicated in any "op" to scapegoat Warren or Marty with the church's bad recent years' behavior.

Warren was "henchman" for DM, during the recent years petty physical stuff, so my thoughts when I heard the rumor that Marty and Warren were gonna "take the fall" was that the church would try to pin the petty physical abuse on those two.

Too many people think far better of Marty than DM.

Dumping on Marty won't work. Warren it's unfortunate that he stooped to the petty stuff.

It leads straight back to DM. People who have seen the physical abuse done by DM could be called upon by authorities.

Enforced/leveraged retractions I don't think will work on those who've spoken up in limited contexts. I don't think now that the whole group of sympathetic ex Sea Org members that are now developing as a group networked by the internet, will go back to the old silenced mindset that was more easily enforced in earlier years.

The public, the media are more savvy to the whole sad disgraceful history of dirty laundry tactics of Scn.

The only way out, if I were church PR advising, is to lighten up, on all fronts. Just knock off the disgraceful crap in all directions.

Just knock it off, lighten up, give the top ranking people at the top of the movement a LOT of slack, time off, liberties, just lighten the hell out of the scene at the top.

DM should privately go around and apologize to those he's slapped around. He should just bite the bullet.

Humility and apologizing, seeking forgiveness and making up for the damaged lives, WOULD be the right thing to do. And it IS the only path to gain any tiny amount of genuine respect.

Anyways, whoever has a line to Marty, please encourage him to get onto the XSO chat group and share his opinions, and hopefully get him to go public to media or authorities.

If I were Marty and out (meaning really out mentally also), and Helena was in "doubt" about her Scn participation activities, they'd make a fine pair to hook up and work together I would imagine!

That could be a looming worst case scenario for whatever DM has done that DM is wishing to keep under wraps.
