I was happy to read this morning that Leah has filed an amended complaint, adding the most recent harassment from scientology: https://deadline.com/2023/08/leah-remini-scientology-lawsuit-amended-1235532181/ Included (and featured in the Deadline story) was the recent PI harassment of me I documented NEW Fair Game PI Activity Caught on Video. This updating of the complaint helps educate the court (and others) -- there is a real and urgent need to stop these ongoing abuses. It is also important for it to be clearly understood that while scientology denies they have ever done … [Read more...]

Scientology Always Lies About Fair Game
Hubbard’s toxic legacy lives on. I recently came across this article published in the Washington Post on April 28, 1978. It recounts a summary of some of the evidence that had been discovered in the 1977 FBI raid on scientology in Los Angeles and Washington DC. The examples the story recounts are taken from scientology's documents, though they had not yet been made public. The operations described were pursuant to the directives of L. Ron Hubbard. Those same directives remain in place to this day. Today, scientology repeatedly asserts they do not harass and stalk t … [Read more...]
Some Background on Scientology’s Efforts to Destroy Enemies
Over the last few weeks, Chris Owen (author of many insightful writings about Hubbard and scientology, including his excellent book, Ron The War Hero) has done a series of posts with Tony Ortega on Substack describing the history of the harassment campaigns carried out by scientology. As is always the case with Chris, he is a meticulous researcher and summarizes the information in a concise and accurate way. This is important information that should be as widely available as possible, so I am combining his 3 pieces into one longer article and reprinting it below. It's fascinating … [Read more...]
More Scientology Hypocrisy
Yet again, the OSA trolls expose themselves and the Hubbard way. One of the recently more active in bots stable, "Lory Guy" came out swinging with an "applicable LRH quote." Scientology frequently claims their freedom of speech is being denied because people are "telling lies about them." In fact, they are spinning some of the tallest tales imaginable, repeating accusations that are completely disproven, in an effort to follow Hubbard's policy of muzzling/destroying their denominated enemies (anyone who says things they don' t like). Just one egregious example: they routinely state Leah a … [Read more...]
Scientology Eerily Similar to Domestic Abuse
I received this from a reader and I felt it deserved a wider audience. She has many insightful observations, and it is most gratifying to read that the exposure of abuses in scientology reaches a wider audience of victims, something Leah and I were both hoping would be an outcome of our work. As a Domestic Abuse Survivor, Leah Remini’s “Scientology and the Aftermath’ Is So Relatable, It’s Scary. Binge-watching the Scientology series, I was shocked to recognize myself and the abusive situation that I had lived through in the stories of Scientologists who had escaped their religio … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Silence on Danny Masterson is Deafening
Scientology has constantly attacked Leah and I for testifying in the Paul Haggis civil case where he was accused of raping a woman. The plaintiff never reported it to law enforcement, instead sending a demand for payment in exchange for her silence. Paul was the one who reported this to law enforcement and was told there was nothing they could do about it. The jury didn't know all of this as it was precluded from the case. Leah and I testified about our knowledge of scientology's Fair Game tactics (including how other people like Paulette Cooper and Gabe Cazares had been framed for crimes … [Read more...]
NEW Fair Game PI Activity Caught on Video
There's some scientology Fair Game activity underway in our neighborhood since Leah filed her lawsuit. Some neighbors alerted us to a suspicious vehicle parked on the main boulevard of our community outside their house. Two neighbors took photos of license plate of the vehicle at different times and locations: Shortly thereafter Christie and I went out to the local store and just like magic – look who is right in front of us: Of course, this could have been a coincidence and just someone who lives in our neighborhood – though s … [Read more...]
Elderly Abuse in Scientology: What You Can Do
Leah and I are always working when it comes to advocating for victims of Scientology, whether we are vocal it about it or not. As you know Leah has focused on Shelly because she knew Shelly so well and took a stand while she was still in as well as when she got out of scientology -- including filing a missing person's report with the LAPD that they brushed under the carpet. Journalist Yashar Ali did an incredible piece of reporting on this story recently. Important: Where's Shelly? NEW Reporting And following up on this work, he has come up with more invaluable … [Read more...]
Scientology Lies Responding to 60 Minutes Australia
If by chance you have not seen this piece on 60 Minutes Australia from last Sunday, I commend you to do so... The Australian media pull no punches, and this is one carries on the tradition. In the introduction alone they talk about scientology's "mob-style operations" and how it is "bullying" and "belligerent." On their website (they don't include any of the response in the televised piece), Channel 9 includes the scientology response. Literally a series of blatant lies: Statement from The Church of Scientology "The Church does not prohibit or discourage members from reporting criminal … [Read more...]
“OT IX and X are closer than you think” – David Miscavige April 1993
Captain Miscavige made this announcement more than 30 years ago. Had you surveyed anyone who attended this monumental/epic/watershed event, what does "closer than you think" mean, I guarantee not one of them would have said anything beyond 5 years. Most would have responded with 1 or 2 years at most. This once fresh, then moldy and now petrified carrot continues to be dangled in front of the faithful donkeys -- though talk of it has been replaced in the main with self-congratulatory hype about "ideal orgs." According to this promotional piece, Captain Miscavige (this was back when he … [Read more...]
