7. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume One, Issue Two 
This issue focuses on our old friends from the post cards: Scientology Policy Directives (SPDs). The Squirrel Watcher puts a novel twist on the subject, though, by referring to them as "SP Directives." This is an inside joke for Scientologists, because "SP" is the slanguage for "Suppressive Person"--the ultimate damnation in Scientology circles. And SPDs = David Miscavige.

8. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume One, Issue Three 
This is the issue without words--a biting three-panel cartoon that shows BOTWO desecrating a sign that says "Hubbard Association of Scientologists International," vandalizing it to read "Associaton of Scientologists International," with only a small bit of the word "Hubbard" left visible.(Click on thumbnail for full-size image) 

9. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume One, Issue Four 
Bannered "Frequently Asked Questions About The Furry Age of Management," this issue is the first that mentions David Miscavige by name. The banner headline is a direct swipe at "The Golden Age of Tech," an advertising campaign slogan that Miscavige himself had premiered at a big Scientology event shortly before this issue hit the streets. Highlights: 1. First broad public revelation that David Miscavige had engineered a secret agreement with IRS. 2. Exposes the difference between Scientology and "the Scientology religion." 3. Exclusive scoop that highly-placed Scientology executives had claimed the existence of a secret "advice" from L. Ron Hubbard recommending SPDs. 4. Tells of significant alterations being done on the sly to L. Ron Hubbard's works, and promises to expose these in future issues (a promise ultimately made good).(Click on thumbnail for full-size image) 

10. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume One, Issue Five 
Here the gloves came off. The banner headline is "DM Squeaks!" Then a grey line is drawn through "Squeaks," and the word "speaks" is roughly hand-lettered above. Prominent on the front page is a picture of David Miscavige (DM) at the 1993 IAS Anniversary event, proudly holding up the 4-inch thick agreement with IRS after announcing that Scientology had been granted tax exemption. But the caption says DM never mentioned the fact that the heavy agreement he is showing off is secret. The text illustrates, with contrasting quotes, instances where DM has directly contradicted L. Ron Hubbard, and Miscavige begins to sound like the anti-Hubbard--not a good image for a man in his position. Could this have anything to do with the subsequent publication of "Public Warning?" All we know is that "Public Warning" appeared very shortly after this issue of The Squirrel Watcher.(Click on thumbnail for full-size image) 

11. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume One, Issue Six 
The headline says it all: "Liars, Damned Liars, and David Miscavige." This issue makes good on the earlier promise to reveal some of the alterations being made to L. Ron Hubbard's works--all of them, according to The Squirrel Watcher, being done under the jurisdiction, supervision, and approval of David Miscavige. "Public Warning" hit the streets almost simultaneously with this issue.(Click on thumbnail for full-size image) 

12. The Squirrel Watcher, Volume Two, Issue One 
"Public Warning" sure didn't seem to faze the publishers and editors of The Squirrel Watcher. This issue came out sometime after it. If DM did, indeed, mastermind "Public Warning," and if it was, indeed, an attempt to stop the bleeding, the operation was a failure. Either DM and OSA guessed wrong about the source of the mailings when they decided to attack Mitchell, Precious, Carey, and McDonald, or the attack itself merely added fuel to the editorial fires. Headlined "The Wit and Wisdom of David Miscavige," this issue depicts DM in a dunce cap and--well, you'll just have to see it for yourself.(Click on thumbnail for full-size image)
