John Connolly: Vanity Fair Hack is an OSA SPY!

Summary: John Connolly, contributing editor to Vanity Fair, has been outed as a spy for Scientology's notorious Office of Special Affairs. I have reported this to Federal authorities and asked for Connolly to be investigated for various crimes. The goal is to see if Scientology critics, Anonymous, and former Scientologists can get Connolly charged and arrested. We want to see Connolly do the perp walk. Mr. Townsend, CEO of Conde Nast Publications, will be contacted with a formal complaint seeking the revocation of Connolly's credentials with VF.

The game is on Mr. Connnolly. You have come to the attention of many, many of people who have sought long and hard to find and expose OSA agents such as yourself.

As an OSA Spy, you are Fair Ga, er... Fairly Lame.

Note: The following is reposted fromM. Rathbun's blog: http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/journalists-beware-of-scientology-inc-spy/

"Jason Beghe phoned me to catch up with hurricane aftermath news. He told me that shortly after the New Yorker story ran a John Connolly, who represents himself as a Vanity Fair regular contributor, phoned Jason. Connolly tried to pump Jason for anything he knew about the New Yorker’s investigation. A covert investigation of the author Lawrence Wright. While doing so Connolly attempted to drive a wedge between Jason on the one side and Mike Rinder and I on the other. Since Jason didn’t just fall off the turnip truck Connolly did, hard.

"John Connolly has been a Church of Scientology Office of Special Affairs informant for nearly two decades. He has infiltrated several journalists doing stories on Scientology during that time, posing as a like-minded investigative journalist working on a Scientology story. Journalists have apparently either not compared notes, or simply not noticed that Connolly hasn’t delivered on a Scientology story in the twenty years he says he’s been working on one. Connolly was originally recruited by Eugene Martin Ingram.

"Here is an excerpt from a document authored by then-DCO External OSA INT (currently CO OSA INT – and at all times since the early eighties to the present Intelligence Chief OSA Int effectively) Linda Hamel. The document is dated, coincidentally, 14 February 2006 – five years ago, today. It reports on Connolly’s spy work against the author of the unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise, UK journalist Andrew Morton.

"Welcome to the sunlight John Connolly.

"14 Feb 2006

"Connolly was here in LA working on the Pellicano story and contacted Morton and met with him on the basis of gaining his cooperation to be interviewed for an article for Vanity Fair about the books Morton has done on celebrities including the one he is writing on Tom Cruise. Connolly wanted to see what Morton was like and get any information about where Morton is currently at with regard to writing the book and to see if Morton would agree to be interviewed for an article. Based on the meeting, Connolly said that Morton seems to have finished his research already and is busy writing the book.

"Connolly told Morton that it would not be a puff piece and would show both sides including "what would be said about Morton. (Connolly will use the article to investigate Morton’s past treatment of other celebrities, use of sleazy sources, etc. that would undermine Morton’s credibility). Morton said he would check with St. Martin’s Press to get their take on cooperating for the story. Morton seems to be interested in generating publicity for the book.

"Connolly’s impression of Morton is that he is a serious writer and is a focused person but enjoyable to talk to. He knows how to use his charm to get people to talk. Morton also told him that it only took him five weeks to write the Monica Lewinsky book – so he is capable of churning out a lot in a short period of time.

"Morton said that he thought that Tom Cruise was a good story and that is why he wanted to write the book. The reporter got the impression from talking with Morton that Morton has collected a lot of information about the Church and that this will be well covered in the book. Morton also mentioned that he has an assistant who is working for him.

" Morton also said that he had met Paul Barresi a couple of times but did not go into the details of what Barresi said.

"Connolly’s impression is that Morton is a formidable adversary who is not going to back down. He thinks that Morton has made up his mind already as to the angle of the book but did not specifically say what it was.

"Morton mentioned that he had received a nasty letter from Bert Fields – he didn’t have any further comment about this.

"Morton asked if Anthony Pelicano ever worked for the client (the Church). Connolly, who is an expert on Pelicano said “no” and he doesn’t think that Tom Cruise has ever met Pelicano. Connolly will be getting back to Morton to see what St. Martin’s Press says. He has been given background documents that we have on Morton and on Barresi who we know that Morton has been using.

"This UK reporter that we have a line to has helped get information out about Morton hiring Paul Barresi. He is willing to continue to feed information and documents to the UK tabloids to discredit Morton. He made a proposal that he could rapidly write a pre-emptive positive book about Mr. Cruise, which he thought would undermine the one from St. Martin’s Press. However, when this idea of a pre-emptive book was checked with Tommy Davis, it was not something that he felt Mr. Cruise would want.

"This UK reporter will continue to be used for feeding information and stories to the UK tabloids about Morton. There is a rumor about Morton no longer being with his UK publisher Michael O’Mara which will be checked into to see if there was a conflict or a falling out. This could possibly be another attack point on Morton if it is found that there was a falling out.

"In the US Connolly, wants to do an investigative story and put a piece together on Morton and his use of sleazy sources in the books he has done about celebrities such as Madonna, the Beckhams and Tom Cruise. This would attack Morton on his reputation questioning the credibility of his sources."

10/2011: The Big Crack in the Scientology Snow Globe World

It is 3:13 PM on All Soul's Eve -- Halloween -- here in Los Angeles. I have seen three new phases of the Karmic Vortex at work on this Hallowed Evening. I call these:

10/2010: The Great Awakening
10/2010: The Big Crack in the Scientology Snow Globe World
10/2010: The Third Tsunami

I sensed a a gigantic fracture in the Subtle Realms where CoS is moored. I think everything happens very fast now in the next 90 days. When I look, I see a giant wave of spiritual energy -- "The Third Tsunami" -- approaching CoS. I see Flag enveloped in The Third Tsunami. I thought it would come in 2011, but it has come three months early.

Here is my narrative with these three new events added at the end of the sequence:

10/2005: The Critics Have Reached Critical Mass
04/2006: We Are Witnessing the Destruction of Scientology
05/2006: Insurrection and the Underground Railroad in Scientology
01/2007: Scientology's 2007 New Years Eve Event
07/2007: Miscavigology: The New Scientology
09/2007: The Beginning of the End for Scientology
09/2007: BFG and Little Bear Victor Have Begun the Quiet Revolution
11/2007: The Divergence Has Occurred
03/2008: We Have Entered the Edge of the Debris Field
03/2008: The Rebel Alliance Forms Within Scientology
04/2008: The Karmic Vortex: The Hyper-Acceleration of Events
05/2008: Why Does David Miscavige Refuse to Speak Publicly?
05/2009: The Concept of the "Org" is Dead
07/2009: The Karmic Vortex II
06/2009: Scientology's Summer of Cognitive Dissonance
10/2009: Shadowmen LLC Exit Strategy
10/2009: The Organic Dissolution of the Church of Scientology
10/2009: The Collapse of the State of Operating Thetan
01/2010: The Scientology Diaspora
10/2010: The Great Awakening
10/2010: The Big Crack in the Scientology Snow Globe World
10/2010: The Third Tsunami

As I see it, there are now only 3-4 more significant thread titles needed to complete the sequence.

RPF, Disconnection, and SP Declares are weapons used to dispose of people quietly and without sorrow. When Scientologists are in good standing, they support these doctrines. However, with more Scientologists than ever running afoul of Miscavige's rapacious demand for more money and more slave labor, Scientologists are blowing in unprecedented numbers as they realize with horror that which they had been supporting.

This Big Crack in the Scientology Snow Globe is part of the "Great Awakening" for those who are leaving. Those who remain in CoS will experience what is happening as Scientology's Götterdämmerung.

Remember: This does not end until CoS is dismantled in its present form.

(Note: The following was written by Joanna Cook and was posted at Marty Rathbun's blog. Entitled Labyrinth or Liberty?, this is one of the best pieces I have ever read about the desolation that is the Church of Scientology experience. Joanna really communicates the abysmal, spiritually failed misadventure that is the Church of Scientology. Joanna's work deserves attention and so I am posting the second half of her essay here)/

Begin Quote:

"The cruel part is that Scientology, as the organization stands now, is like living in a snow globe world. It’s supposed to be perfect, but it isn’t, and the world outside is supposed to be within our reach but it isn’t.

The “ideal scene” is always beyond reach, belonging to someone outside ourselves, and nothing we can do allows us to grasp it, even for a moment. We capture fragments, promises, of it, like snowflakes that melt in our hand.

The Church has these snow globe events that promise a utopian world if only everyone had Scientology, yet we have to give up our right to our own life in order to “Clear The Planet”. Has anyone ever given a concise and definite definition to what that means? I’ve had staff intimate it means we cross the threshold of theta versus entheta on a planet-wide scale, so that it means people’s entheta gets converted Poof! with a wave of awesome theta overtaking everything. And this is achieved solely through the IAS and library campaigns (not the actual Scientology services, but promises of future services) carried on the backs of broke parishioners. So basically, it means that Clearing the Planet is making sure everyone has an abundance of theta except us, yes? Wait. Huh?

Yet we must continue forward, because the fate of the entire sector of the universe rests on each one of our shoulders. If we fail now, we’ve doomed the entire race of humans, and all thetans everywhere (even though we don’t exist in space or time) now and forever, to the worst kind of misery imaginable. Our children will grow up in a cruel, bitter world devoid of any succor, so instead they should join the Sea Org and given to a life of “service”. But it’s okay, because they’re salvaging the universe.

And yet we can’t progress on the Bridge; instead of the glorious golden contraption leading us out of darkness to the rich and bountiful place of Total Freedom, we have a strange tangle of wooden planks and rope that becomes a labyrinth halfway across the chasm with a recurring return to this place called Clear. If we manage to escape out of the labyrinth, we’re struck by lightning before we can take the next step across, and if we survive that, we discover the world at the end is another snow globe – a place that is promised, supposed to be perfect, yet just out of our reach – that will only happen if the ones who finally escaped the labyrinth can convince everyone else to cross the chasm.

And no matter how much we take a sledge hammer to the glass of our snow globe, bang our heads against it, consult auditors and ethics officers and even chaplains to understand why the glass won’t crack, it’s indestructible. That world that is supposed to be ours can never be ours, and it’s all our own individual fault we can’t attain it, and because of our individual failure, we’ve screwed it up for everyone else. It’s premeditated, and designed to drive people insane. And yet it’s called Scientology.

People are in quite a conundrum. Here they are, in the middle of a chasm, and the world they’re trying to leave behind was awful – it had fears, insecurities, needless doubts and pain and hopelessness, and yet the price to attain the perfect world free of all that is creating a constant state of those things. Then, they’ve got their whole family or their children or someone they love entangled in this mess and they can’t move back without them, yet they can’t move forward, and they’re stuck in this labyrinth that is slowly eating them alive or sapping them of sanity, and the fact that they feel anything negative at all is entirely their fault, or the fault of strange beings or past incidences or otherworldly phenomena that can only be solved by moving forward.

Yet anytime they think it might be possible to actually move forward, there’s punishment in the shadows of their hope, and after a while they instinctively will hold themselves back from hoping, or from trying, and that again is cause for punishment.

In essence, the game where everyone wins is now the hell where everyone loses. Even the snow globe ideal orgs, in their perfect buildings with the perfect renovations, are built on musical chairs (swiping staff from other places), extortion, in locations that are unwise, or for orgs that were financially struggling to begin with, or based in countries under tyranny… they are supposed to be perfect, but something about them just isn’t. And people who are aware, who are supposed to be the public we seek, will know it, and instinctively they’ll stay away. Meanwhile, the org itself will be destroyed because the multiple policies protecting it have been utterly violated, and its destruction will be the fault of the public and the staff who were supposed to make it go right.

This organization that calls itself Scientology has made a premeditated effort to lock each dynamic into Scientology, at the exclusion of any other entity. For instance, the 8^th dynamic is apparently only understood when you have a total grasp of the 7^th, which you can’t fully understand until you’ve reached the top of the Bridge. The 6^th dynamic (which is constantly at war with us) can only be conquered through Scientology. The 5^th can only be salvaged from nuclear war if we Clear the Planet. We’re supposed to Clear the Planet even though “Wogs” can’t or won’t read (like they used to, they need video explanations now or they won’t get it), can’t understand basic ideas without studying 18 volumes and numerous lectures, are drug addicts, 1.1, and generally not to be trusted. Seriously, they are rather pitiful creatures when compared to us Homo Novises. They have case that sprouts off, they compare Scientology to all these other awful and weird practices, and psychiatrists everywhere have convinced them they need psychiatric drugs when all they need is Dianetics. (Plus O/Ws, Sec-Checking, donations, attendance at events, Evil purpose checks, oh we’re not supposed to mention that; Dianetics solves everything, per our patter when we do the stress tests.) And groups! My gosh, imagine trying to find a decent group outside of Scientology. What with all the people below 2.0 and faulty/inefficient technology, and ignorance on how to run a business or get along with others… so it’s better finding work and friends amongst people who understand, and can do proper admin scales, conditions, etc. Then there’s the family, which of course can only be whole and happy if Scientology is being applied. We have marriage counseling, life repair for the wayward kiddies, ethics officers standing by, and staff positions available so no one has to go to college to get a worthwhile job. Not that anyone would want to waste time with college anyway. Any friends, relatives, etc. not Scientologists are advised to become Scientologists as soon as possible. And as for the first dynamic, well, that’s not important in the scheme of things, is it? Necessity level demands we do what is the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics, and only by consistently acting along those lines and acting as a 3.5+ on the Tone Scale can one ever have any real happiness at all.

Naturally, the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics means what is best for the largest number of nameless faces that will benefit by our campaigns to Clear the Planet. Savings, what’s that? What’s the point in holding out for a rainy day when the fate of the world is in our hands right now? My Golly, don’t you know we’re already too late? The Big Man has his finger on the Big Red Button in this very instant, and the psyches are all but ready to take over government and all the schools, and only the IAS and the library campaign can save the day. You don’t see the connection, you say? Off with your head! I mean, over to Ethics for you.

So one day you’ve had enough, and decide you want to walk away, but you can’t. You have no choice. Exactly, it’s called Blackmail. If you leave, you lose your family, your work, your group, your only chance at salvation, your reputation, you’ve probably already lost your house, but worst of all, you lose your identity. This is who you are, now, and it’s everything you are, so it has to be okay. Things will work out. Ron promised it would in his When You Need Reassurance. So if we just hold out a little longer…

And one by one the things that were important, that made everything worthwhile, fade away, and we free-fall in our chasm, trapped in a fractured snow globe world that’s left us so we can’t reach at all; there’s nothing left to reach for. It’s the ultimate betrayal in the name of help, the one thing this wasn’t supposed to be, not this time. Some people could shatter upon this realization, and close themselves up into a tiny little box way deep inside themselves, and pretend that just because they’re still breathing it means they’re still alive; or they can go into a fit of rage; or they figure they can commit suicide; or they can walk away. Sometimes we go through shades of all these stages.

But the amazing thing is that there is a beautiful world out here waiting for us, and it isn’t separated by titanium bulletproof glass. Identities that are our own, dreams, goals, friendship, family, joy, teammanship, help, exquisite moments, are all possible and graspable and they can be yours. No scarcity. No strings attached.

It’s an interesting journey reclaiming life after it’s been molded into a shadow of what life can be, and after the shackles of what can or should exist are broken and cast aside. There’s a whole world full of awesome and friendly people, of fascinating philosophies and ideas, of life and nature experiences to be had, welcoming you with open arms — yet these things were only supposed to exist in the confines of Scientology… it has to be experienced to be believed.

For me, it makes the painful parts worth it, because at least – at last – the pain becomes transient, and the lying doesn’t have to be a necessary part of living, and prosperity, joy, unfettered existence, becomes real.

I can keep what for me is good about the philosophy, and use it as I want to, and when I want to, and my life is finally mine to live.

I want others to enjoy the gains I’ve had, and I can finally say that without the little voice in the back of my head saying, “Gains, sure, but would I want anyone to have the experience that I’ve had? No!” Being half-in and half-out is awful; I lived that for 18 months. True, I had less to lose than many still “in”: I never accepted the derogatory term “wog” and had lots of friends and family not in Scientology; my family all called it quits individually; I had no boyfriend, children, relatives in the S.O.; my job was secure; and even though things were hard for a while and there were growing pains after leaving, I would do it all again. All the painful experiences over the past year, summed up, still doesn’t come close to one week of being in that organization, not able to communicate openly, fruitlessly trying to fix things, ramming against that snow globe glass, trying to understand what was wrong with me that I couldn’t grasp. That was true pain.

I want all my friends, and my comrades, to be free of that. You deserve a beautiful, rich, full life. I hope you can hold it in your hands, and know that everyone you love can hold it, too."

Sincerely,
Joanna Cook

Mike Rinder: The truth David Miscavige wants to kill

Urgent: Marty Rathbun reports on his blog that Mike Rinder is on air tomorrow talking about CoS leader David Miscavige. This is the story that CoS has apparently prevented the BBC from airing. Mike Rinder is the former Executive Director of Scientology's nefarious Office of Special Affairs (OSA). The job of OSA is to conduct surveillance, spying, and smear campaigns against persons deemed to be enemies of CoS Dedicator David Miscavige:




Mike Rinder's bona fides from CoS' old webpage on him. CoS purged all traces of Rinder after he escaped from the Church:

The Independent Field and Karma

I believe that Karma is systematically dismantling CoS in its present form. Relative to CoS, certain key events are karmically unfolding according to a spiritual logic and pattern. This pattern is sometimes surreal and highly strange. I have described the sequence as I have seen it unfold since 2005. I have used certain of my thread titles to form a long-term narration of the sequence. Anonymous' arrival on the scene in February 2008 was the most staggering of all events for CoS in the sequence from 2005 forward. The meltdown of Tom Cruise in 2005 initiated the sequence.

10/2005: The Critics Have Reached Critical Mass
04/2006: We Are Witnessing the Destruction of Scientology
05/2006: Insurrection and the Underground Railroad in Scientology
01/2007: Scientology's 2007 New Years Eve Event
07/2007: Miscavigology: The New Scientology
09/2007: The Beginning of the End for Scientology
09/2007: BFG and Little Bear Victor Have Begun the Quiet Revolution
11/2007: The Divergence Has Occurred
03/2008: We Have Entered the Edge of the Debris Field
03/2008: The Rebel Alliance Forms Within Scientology
04/2008: The Karmic Vortex: The Hyper-Acceleration of Events
05/2008: Why Does David Miscavige Refuse to Speak Publicly?
05/2009: The Concept of the "Org" is Dead
07/2009: The Karmic Vortex II
06/2009: Scientology's Summer of Cognitive Dissonance
10/2009: Shadowmen LLC Exit Strategy
10/2009: The Organic Dissolution of the Church of Scientology
10/2009: The Collapse of the State of Operating Thetan
01/2010: The Scientology Diaspora

As I see it, there are 7-8 more significant thread titles needed to complete the sequence.

My support for the Indies is directly tied to my spiritual belief that they are part of the Karmic Dismantling of CoS in its present form.

To Dorothy's point, I can like their activism without endorsing their particular brand of "quasi-empirical supernaturalism."

Furthermore:

Based upon the philosophical principle of the lesser Evil, I maintain that people are harmed less in the Indie and FZ fields than in CoS.

Based upon the philosophical principle of utilitarianism, it is desirable to have Mike and Marty publicly fighting Dave. I would rather have the two gentlemen fighting Dave than working for him. I see life being easier for our side now that Mike and Marty and the Indies are openly opposing David Miscavige.

Based upon my Civil Libertarian views, I think people should have more rights and not less. If people want to attempt to erase all of the engrams, ghosts, space opera, and implants they believe to be occluding their lives by use of Scientology, why then have it! Jump in and see what's waiting for you inside of Hubbard's House of Head Games, Indieville, or the Freezone. Enter at your own risk. Pay your money, get on the cans, light up a Kool, and see what comes up for you in session.

In addition to being thoroughly discredited, the Church of Scientology should also lose its tax exempt status everywhere.

Revolution in the Church of Scientology!

When I consider the collapsing Cult of Scientology, the word that comes to my mind over and over again is acquiescence. That is what happened to Scientologists in CoS: They acquiesced to things that were not right or true. COB and his Shadowmen worked to put Scientologists into a legal state of acquiescence. Scientologists misunderstood altogether and took acquiescence to mean compliance.

What is acquiescence?

"Acquiescence is a legal term used to describe an act of a person in knowingly standing by without raising any objection to infringement of his rights, when someone else is unknowingly and honestly putting in his resources under the impression that the said rights actually belong to him. Consequently, the person whose rights are infringed cannot anymore make a claim against the infringer or succeed in an injunction suit due to his conduct. The term is most generally, "permission" given by silence or passiveness. Acceptance or agreement by keeping quiet or by not making objections."

"Acquiescence:
1. Action or inaction which binds a person legally even though it was not intended as such.

2. Action or inaction which binds a person legally even though it was not intended as such.

3. Action which is not intended as a direct acceptance of a contract will nevertheless stand as such as it implies recognition of the terms of the contract.

4. Bitten apple: For example, if I display a basket of fruit in a marketplace and you come by, inspect an apple and then bite into it, you have acquiesced to the contract of sale of that apple.

5. Acquiescence also refers to allowing too much time to pass since you had knowledge of an event which may have allowed you to have legal recourse against another, implying that you waive your rights to that legal recourse."

*****
DM and his Shadowmen have made Scientology = the abandonment of rights, an acquiescence to the church made in fear over losing one's salvation. DM and his Shadowmen did this while hiding behind the UN Charter of Human Rights. This is scandalous and spiritually criminal! This type of behavior is exactly what Karma punishes.

*****
Marty Rathbun has answered to acquiescence with insouciance. This is close, but the better answer, the superior synthesis is Revolution. There is a Major Revolution occurring inside and outside of CoS. Theta is natively rebelling. Scientologists experience this Revolution in different ways. However, they know that an undeniable change, a major shift is underway. IMO, Marty senses the runaway Energy and wants to constructively channel it into a creative "LRH Tech Renaissance" that he characterizes as a spirit of insouciance. His efforts will gain some support, but as I see it, the Group Engram has to release all of its stored Energy before things can relax back down to a stable state condition. This could take years and years. Scientology will never be the same.

*****
What is happening in Scientology is an asymmetrical, runaway spiritual event, a vast unwinding and uncoiling of stored Energy. In the history of movements, senior people die as a symbol of an era passing away. IMO, Earle Cooley's recent death was a Karmic indicator that the era of DM is drawing to a close.

Blown For Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology

"The Int Base was rotten to the core. David Miscavige knew this. He had known about all of these crimes, yet the bogus courses were still being sold, the faulty auditing was still being charged for, the money was still being taken in by orgs all around the world... Dave Miscavige was the only one that already knew all this and was NOT sitting in the SP hole at the Int Base." -- excerpt from Marc Headley's great new book Blown For Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology.

Marc Headley, or "BFG" as he was known to we critics when he first began posting online about life on Scientology's once-secret Int Base, tells a riveting story in his new "must read" book.

The first time I met BFG was at a restaurant. It was a mind-bending few hours as he related his stories of life at Gold. All of it belonged in a book. In this book, Marc shows the world how Scientology gets made and it is not ideal. Marc's book offers a "Scientology Sea Org:101" course for readers who want to know about the Sea Org up close and personal. The book includes a convenient Glossary of Scientology terms to help readers new to the subject understand Scienospeak.

Marc Headley delivers an exciting, page-turning narrative. His stories are shocking and yet he ultimately escapes from behind Scientology's Iron Curtain. Soon after Marc blew his wife Claire followed him, thus proving that Love is more powerful than the chains of Scientology. Blown for Good is an exceptional firsthand account from a Scientology survivor who became a major figure in the critics movement.

I remember when Marc and Claire showed up at one of the early Anonymous protests. They are, and remain, heroes of the movement against the abuses of the Church of Scientology. I took this picture of Marc speaking outside of the HGB in Hollywood:

This is one of my favorite BFG photos because it shows Marc down in the trenches with the rest of us. Marc is not an "Ivory Tower" guy. He took great risks when he posted as BFG at xenu.net and the other message boards. When this photo was taken, the Cult of Scientology had convinced LAPD that Anonymous was a highly dangerous group. The LAPD presence was staggering and we protesters were treated as a threat by hostile police, including undercover agents, helicopters, and OSA's private PI's. Counted among OSA's PI's were former FBI and Secret Service agents. The Cult was filming and photographing protesters in an attempt to intimidate us. It did not work. LAPD later realized that Anonymous was not a threat and that CoS had vastly hyper-inflated everything. Of course, hyper-exaggeration is not surprising coming from a Cult that tells of Space Lord Xenu nuking volcanoes full of people! That was some tax audit, eh?

At the time of this particular protest, Marc had OSA on his back in a way that few people did. He and Claire were being harassed and followed. Marc was OSA's SP #1 in the world and remains high on the SP list so far as Cult Dictator David Miscavige is concerned!
