Brian Sheen Video

November 26, 2016 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

screenshot-455

I have known Brian since the days of the Apollo. He is a highly intelligent, gifted man.

Tony Ortega covered his story in July 2015 and has done a couple of follow ups since then. Tony posted this video a couple of days ago but I only had a chance to watch it yesterday.

Brian has put together a brilliant video. The genius of this is distilling so much relevant information into a short, clear, professional and easy to follow message.  Give it a watch. I think it deserves some attention.

    Excellent video!
    I wonder, however… with all this info and press and truth about the cult and their evil and harmful ways; why is it still seeming to be untouched by all of this?
    We just got a new “Impact” magazine. (Surprising, since I am a PTS, yet they are still hammering away to get my husbands money). I thought it was a National Geographic at first. So many people giving huge sums of money STILL. When will they actually fall? It sure doesn’t look that way from all of the glossy mags and people supporting them. If it wasn’t so amazingly sad.. it would be laughable.

      Uh, you believe what you read or see in an IAS Mag? I wouldn’t be surprised if the little dictator needed to give his approval before they are printed. It’s pure sci-fi carefully designed to reinforce certain illusions while reminding everyone that they must donate more or else face oblivion.

    My opinion – it’s a good video but far too critical to serve as the thin point of the wedge for any current members. Making absolute statements like “a total con” and stating that there are no gains and that ‘it’s all hypnosis’ will turn off any true believers and, I think, is inaccurate.

    Brian Sheen’s testimony needs to be on Leah Remini’s show. Do more vides and testimony Brian, you are a very effective voice.

    I too have had out of body experiences at Pink Floyd shows. Also at Genesis, Jethro Tull and several others. That is how you know the show is good.

    Doug Parent’s comment nails the $cieno head perfectly.

      Anyhow, great video. It’s nice to see another survivor.

    Very, smack between the Scientology eyes! Good shot!
    There is a general overall drift towards absolutely nothing in Scientology has ever been acceptable and it is all evil. Not sure that that is all such a good thing – you can’t kill an idea but you sure can punish the criminally guilty. The shotgun approach seldom works.
    I’m more in favor of stopping the abuses and rending the Cof$ inert. There’s enough hate in the world to go round more than a couple of times. Expecting others to think the same as you or adopt your opinions over their own reactions has caused much grief in many areas. It is however observable it’s easier to try to squash it all once public opinion begins to notice or be swayed. Misjudging how others will view things does have a tendency to create mob reactions. I was trained at a young age to handle dangerous things and am comfortable in that responsibility., Having someone enforce I shouldn’t handle that sort of thing anymore because they now deem it evil or dangerous is not acceptable in my my opinion.Maybe in dictatorship its OK but I don;t like those or the formation of them either.
    I don’t need any tech other than my own observations to know that intelligent people aren’t all they are cracked up to be. Many lawyers, opinion leaders etc don’t care what really goes on just as long as there’s a buck or power in it or there’s a war to organize etc. Why Scientology has continued to persist against such glaring facts of humanly abusive operation does however create some interesting questions imo,
    Don’t get me wrong Scientology sucks, but so does drugs, social violence, financial mayhem and heap of other social ills. The real targets are the criminals behind the scenes profiting from such things. Cults are ascourge and the ones protected by the law are a special case.

    It makes me scratch my head that Scientologists never apply Scientology concepts to Scientology the Organization.
    If they were to do that, they would see the motivator hungry, overt ridden, no results and out exchange monster that they are a part of.
    Then again, perception and free thought are subtly replaced when you’re in a cult.

    “Scientology; a paranoid vengeful and hateful cult”. Well when enough people come to that conclusion over the span of 30+ years you’d think Scientology would apply the brake pedal just a tad. But no. So whats happens eventually? Leah Remini happens. My comment to Scientologists is “suck it up bitches” and watch as Leah schools the general public on national TV. It’s too late now because you didn’t do anything about it! And that cruel insanity that has run rampant for 40 years behind the curtain will be exposed. Too late Scientologists. You refused to look into the church and do something about it on your own. Now the cult gets bled out slowly on national TV and in the global media. Instead of protesting about A&E you should be storming the castle with signs that say “what are YOUR crimes” because without those crimes non of this blowback would have happened in the first place.

      Absolutely right! No amount of PR happy talk about how great the cult is will counteract a half century of immoral, unethical and downright criminal acts that the cherch has engaged in, then tried to cover up and deny them, even as it continued to act in exactly the same ways.

      Coerced disconnection and the Fair Gaming of perceived enemies is the only way that the cherch’s current corrupt leadership can continue to control the faithful, yet their efforts to deny, deflect and defame those who speak out about the evil of these policies and practices just serves to provide confirming proof of what’s been alleged already.

      It’s a lose-lose situation for lil davey, who’s required by cherch scripture to “attack, never defend”. But because $cilons have become so cowed and craven towards him over the years, the possibility of the faithful deposing this sadistic and destructive super SP of a leader continues to appear unlikely at least for now.

      Doug, very good points. What’s really amazing is how hard scientologists try to be right.
      Grade IV Service Facs sure aren’t flat for any current members of the cult. If they had actually achieved the correct result they would be more interested in the truth than being right. At that point they would be out. So much for the brilliant lower grades.

            There’s a crazy thing about reply that Dude. That is, I was not the one or the one that was was ever allowed to be cause over the power over life and death that rifle could so easily change. Orders are orders… Those that have never lived under such a system have no idea how precious their freedom is.

              Really? I’ve never been in a system where I was ordered to kill another regardless of what I think of the act of killing or the other I was to kill.

              And so I can have no possible idea how precious my freedom is?

              That is so … infuriating.

              Join the army. Travel the world. Meet interesting people. And kill them.

                It’s the reptilian eyes beneath the general’s cap that you truly have to worry about.
                But spare a thought for the soldiers presently on the battlefields of the world – they can’t afford to be infuriated with the orders,. It’s the main thing that keeps them alive. They don’t issue you with weapons to wears as jewelry you know!

    I believe, through yours and the efforts of others, that one day you will have your daughter back. Your videos are unique and very engaging besides being short, sweet and to the point. It would be great to see them on TV as Public Service Announcements. :))) One can dream.

      True Don_M, different speeds for different people. Too much truth too soon can cause bad reactions for some. Like too much food given to a starving person can injure them.

      Some people even years after leaving are concerned about a “baby” being thrown out with the bathwater. When in fact the only “baby” is an Alien movie like Pod waiting at the bottom of tub.

    Agreed Mike, very artistically, interesting and easy way to convey the truth: mind control, paranoia, hateful and miscavige fit perfectly in this sociopathic cult.

    But not all are blind, stupid or ‘won-like’. That is why this blog and others exist, that is why is shrinking and thank you Brian for exposing it again so simply and clear.
