Miscavige And Hubbard : Contrasting Evils
David "Let Him Die" Miscavige is plainly a...special person .He has no conscience , but an inordinate amount of rage and self importance. He has shown aspects of the narcissism and antisocial personality disorder Hubbard famously demonstrated for our study and observation.
I cannot personally call Miscavige a particular term with the same clarity and certainty as I do Hubbard but I feel tremendous confidence that he is also a disordered person .
That's to say he displays extreme, chronic and severe aspects of a certain type of behaviors. I feel comfortable in saying one could narrow down his conduct to fitting a small group of disorders .I would say narcissistic personality disorder or antisocial personality disorder or the combination of both together malignant narcissism .I personally feel Hubbard had malignant narcissism ( or would also accept the subgroup within malignant narcissism of traumatic narcissism for the detail oriented).
So, the interesting thing my mind about Miscavige as a person with any of the above disorders is they all have common qualities and all adequately explain his past behaviors and current choices.
He though 0% a believer in Scientology in my opinion through his mindset from his disorder or psychopathology has a personality set to use and desire many of the same methods Hubbard's similar disorder ( malignant narcissism ) predisposed him toward.Simply they in mind are quite similar - although so severely disordered compared to most people as to seem bizarre and even alien to humans in morality and emotions.
Their minds share these two fundamental and defining qualities - being so alike that Miscavige has a custom built doctrine and methodology left by Hubbard that suits and even gratifies him with very little tweaking needed. And that both are so far off from normal humans that they can seem inscrutable without a thorough understanding of both their hidden conduct and character and the minds of narcissists, sociopaths ( people with antisocial personality disorder) and malignant narcissists. And in this case the history of Dianetics and Scientology and its stated and actual effects .
In my opinion if you strip down Scientology enough and Hubbard himself then Miscavige is a relatively easy piece to analyze at the end.Hubbard is in some ways far easier to analyze as an ex Scientologist can often recall thousands of Hubbard statements nearly verbatim from their Scientology indoctrination. And much of his life and conduct is recorded in great detail. Obviously there is the initial obstacle of Hubbard's pathological lying and the tremendously complex and intentionally difficult to disentangle mountain of contradiction and misdirection in Scientology itself to take apart to even find out what he was doing and trying to do to understand him.
So to me Hubbard and Scientology are the essential keys to understanding Miscavige. That he chooses to practice constant lying as a fundamental PR and control method is consistent with my concepts of him.
That he also incorporates misdirection via the ideal orgs and ideal Narconons to fool the remaining cult members and cater to and target the endangered whales also fits this . He obviously is quite aware of Scientology's tremendous decline in members, repute , delivery and profitability . Other than Flag and the inexorable juggernaut of the straight donations programs it's widely reported that Scientology is no longer a profitable business.
With this in perspective Miscavige's choices to lie so audaciously to both his victims at the international events and the outside world through his flying monkeys gain a striking contrast. The predictability and consistency of his conduct is so great it becomes intellectually flat and dull. But the reality of the abuses and crimes he commits and hides under the cover of these lies makes the disgust at Miscavige and sympathy for Scientology's victims reach almost overwhelming levels . A bizarre juxtaposition .
