Another essay from our old friend Brian Lambert about the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. “You are grandmaster of words and can do with them as you will. You know what they mean to others. You know how their meanings and melodies affect others” - from L Ron Hubbard’s Affirmations. Grief In my past experience with studying Scientology, I noticed some sane human traits being definitionally degraded by some of Ron’s doctrines. And as these redefinitions became part of my personality, I found one of the casualties to be.................grief. It’s hard enough sometimes for us men … [Read more...]
Clearwater Officials: “Nothing To See Here”
The article above appeared in the Tampa Bay Times after the "airing" of The Aftermath this week, an episode focused on scientology's take-over of Clearwater. I said "airing" because for subscribers to the local cable outlet, Spectrum, the show was unwatchable. The sound was scrambled and some images pixillated. The problems magically fixed themselves 2 minutes after the show aired. And the problem ONLY manifested itself on The Aftermath episode, no other channels. Subsequently, all the "On Demand" Aftermath episodes also disappeared from Spectrum. Of course, there is nothing suspicious … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
We have a bit of a backlog, but due to traveling I have been unable to include ALL the funnies that have been sent in over the last couple of weeks.

No broken marriages or destroyed families in scientology... … [Read more...]
Why Grand Juries
I tweeted the other day that law enforcement needs to empanel Grand Juries to get the facts about scientology. More effective would be a raid to seize their files, but that is a much harder process especially when dealing with an organization that hides behind the cloak of religion. What is a Grand Jury and why would it be effective? A grand jury is a jury – a group of citizens – empowered by law to conduct legal proceedings and investigate potential criminal conduct, and determine whether criminal charges should be brought. A grand jury may subpoena physical evidence or a person to testi … [Read more...]
What Can You Do to Help End Scientology Abuses?
The most common question we are asked is "What can I do to help?" First, understand that your support of our show and on social media is tremendously valuable. Both to us and to let the contributors to our show know there are people out there that support the cause. Second, if you want to offer help in terms of professional counselling or you have job opportunities or a place for someone to stay, please contact The Aftermath Foundation which is established to be a clearing house to connect those who are trying to leave scientology or have recently done so to a network of people who have … [Read more...]
Desperation in Clearwater
Flag is seriously desperate to get anyone into the building for the regges to grab hold of. Flag holding "seminars" by PUBLIC to brief them on "OT" is so weird L. Ron Hubbard would be apoplectic if he had not shuffled off his mortal coil so many years ago. Flag has the highest trained auditors and C/Ses on earth. THE experts on the subject of going OT. But rather than them doing seminars on "the keys to OT" they have two local whales delivering this. Why? Hubbard freaked out when he found public scientologists "on the backs of orgs" taking “advantage” of “his staff” and “stealing his p … [Read more...]
The Antisocial Personality Disorder
My good friend Amy Scobee tweeted about this article and I thought it worth sharing here. It is from Healthline. This is an excerpt. What is so interesting is how many of these antisocial traits are actually TAUGHT by scientology to be positive things (or at least justified where it's the "greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics" which always equates to what is good for scientology)... Recognizing Antisocial Behavior in Adults and Children What is a sociopath? “Sociopath” is an informal term that’s often used to refer to someone who has antisocial perso … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Australian Tragedy
Some Thoughts from Leah and Mike Thank you all for your messages of love and support in response to the latest attacks from scientology. As we have previously stated, our thoughts and prayers are with Chih-Hen Yeh's family -- the victim murdered at the Australian scientology center. Sadly, this is just the latest example of scientology using a tragedy to attack those speaking out against its abusive practices. The irony is that we speak out against the culture of violence within the highest echelons of scientology, perpetrated and encouraged by David Miscavige. We are exposing … [Read more...]
