https://twitter.com/i/status/1222202928972402693 This statement by the Attorney General only highlights and confirms what is apparent to everyone in the country. Hate crimes against Jews have reached an unprecedented level. Behind these crimes are vile words that incite acts of violence. One of the major promoters of anti-Semitic hate is Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. And in turn, one of his main mouthpieces is Tony Muhammad, Western Regional Minister of the NOI. Minister Muhammad is also the poster child for the ugly marriage of convenience consummated between the … [Read more...]
Aftermath Update Updated
We promised that we would let you know as soon as there was further news on what was to come next. I cannot say anything more than is covered in this story at this time, but as this is a Hollywood "insider" sort of publication, I thought I should put it here as everyone who reads this blog will be interested. Here is the article in full: Leah Remini Inks First-Look Deal With Critical Content The relevant information that will be of most interest to readers here: Leah Remini, creator, host and producer of A+E’s Emmy-winning docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the … [Read more...]
Spiritualist Movements
This is a rather lengthy dissertation by long term commenter George M. White, who was one of the first OT VIII completions (that is him above on the Freewinds at graduation). I am publishing it as he sent it to me. He mentioned this when I saw him at a party recently and I offered to put it on the blog. It makes reference to a document called "Student Briefing" and I have included that for your reference at the end of his piece. Spiritualist Movements, Hypnotism, and the Natural Science Model used in the development of Scientology ©by George M. White, 2020 George M. … [Read more...]
Just How Desperate is LA Org?
You likely saw the videos on Tony Ortega's site of the 2 guys ("Reckless Ben") who went into LA Org with hidden cameras. In that last video towards the end you witness the desperation of the regges to get $15 from them. It is really pretty pathetic. This is the "largest Class V org and 'model' ideal org" and they are spending time to try to convince this kid to get $15 right now with every sleazy tactic there is. I didn't think it could get more pathetically desperate than that until this recent Facebook posting was sent to me: First, I assume "Betsy" is an org staff member who is … [Read more...]
The IAS is doing EVERYTHING
The IAS is truly the biggest scam in scientology. And that is saying something. Just look what they say here: "At new orders of magnitude, we are tackling ANY planetary ruin ANYWHERE, from the edge of the world to your neighborhood." This is such astonishing bullshit it even surprises me. They also claim that the they are the ONLY solution to war, criminality and immorality. And "WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD"... And they are serious! And how odd is it that the person doing this pitch is Ruddy Rodriguez, IAS Freedom Medal Winner from VENEZUELA! Hey Ruddy, how … [Read more...]

One of these 3 didn't get the message Arms folded is the only way to go. All of them missed the memo about not smiling. Narconon not flourishing They are disappearing from the face of the earth.... We finally made 2 Clears We have to tell the world with a special promotional item because it's such a rare thing... Like really rare... So we made ANOTHER poster for the same person. The St Lucia Sickle Cell Association hasn't done their homework... Or they are just really hard up for a place to show a … [Read more...]
How Cool is LA Org?
LA Org is the "model" for all scientology Class V level organizations -- even though Miscavige made it into a Sea Org installation. Oddly, the "model" cannot be duplicated in other places in the world and it remains the only Sea Org Class V org. There used to be another one -- St Hill Fdn in the UK that was supposed to service the "local East Grinstead public" in the Castle, but apparently Miscavige closed that down as if you enter your location as East Grinstead on scientology.org it directs you to London Org and Brighton Org. I hadn't realized he closed down that org too in his era of … [Read more...]
The “Self-Evident” Truth of the Flat-Earth Society/Scientology
This is a recent posting on the Patheos website -- which is really just an outlet for any content the scientology propaganda machine can generate. Some of it offers good insight into the minds of scientology. This article, by T. Riggs Eckleberry (ex-SO -- he was just Riggs back then) is another of them. It starts with a premise that is entirely false. Namely that scientology is "truth" and proceeds to build on that false assumption from there. His first sentence asserts that of course scientology is true: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. … [Read more...]
Mark Bunker’s New Scientology Hit Squad
Clearly scientology is worried that Mark Bunker is proving to be a viable candidate for the Clearwater City Council. They are now resorting to one of their tried and true tactics against those who worry them the most (see below in this blogpost for earlier examples of the same playbook). Following is a series of short videos of a recent candidates forum. Scientology sent along a gaggle of hecklers to disrupt Mark's statements -- pursuant to the policies of L. Ron Hubbard. Unfortunately, there is no video showing their faces -- perhaps next time when both Aaron Smith-Levin and I … [Read more...]
An Ideal Scientology Family
A recent Facebook posting, coupled with the blog post about my daughter yesterday, prompted me to write this today. Mirit Hendrickson is a full-on scientologist known for her "VM videos" -- donning a yellow t-shirt and heading out to look for photo-ops during hurricanes that she then posts all over social media to prove the "effectiveness of the tech." Her life is immersed in all things scientology. So it is hardly a surprise that her children are being raised as part of an "ideal" scientology family (which includes joining the Sea Org as soon as possible). As you can … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Latest Lie About Me
While there have been many, many lies propagated by scientology about me, it still surprises me sometimes when they offer up new ones. This appeared a few days ago on my daughter's blog (though she is just the name and face that is used -- this garbage is written by the same people that churn out the drivel that appears on the STAND League and Freedom smear sites). The idea that I committed some grievous bodily harm on my ex-wife when she and 6 others stalked and accosted me in a doctors parking lot in 2010 has been thoroughly debunked on this blog (see Mike Rinder: "Lady Killer") … [Read more...]

That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days? Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]
“New” Scientology Churches in the Last Decade — “Expansion” Debunked
This is an article that recently appeared on scientology.org -- and it proves scientology "expansion" is slower now than it was 10 years ago, even when measured by their ridiculous standard of number of buildings renovated. Here is what is listed in this article of the scientology churches around the world (not the CLO's or AO's): 2010 JAN 23, 2010 -- Brussels JAN 30, 2010 -- Quebec City FEB 6, 2010 -- Las Vegas APR 24, 2010 -- Los Angeles (not even a new building?)
