(David Miscavige presides over the 2008 New Year's event — now we have audio of tonight's event)

Once again, our tipsters have come through. The Underground Bunker has obtained a secretly recorded audiotape of the New Year's event that Scientologists around the world will be watching tonight to bring in 2017.

Scientology leader David Miscavige presides over several big events each year — L. Ron Hubbard's March 13 birthday in Florida, the anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists (IAS) each October at Saint Hill Manor in England, and "Maiden Voyage," held on the ship Freewinds in the Caribbean in the summer. But New Year's is perhaps Scientology's biggest annual bash, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Usually, the event is taped a few days early. This year, it was held on December 17, for some reason. But the result is the same. At various times, and particularly tonight, video of David Miscavige's three-hour speech will be shown at Scientology "orgs" around the world.
