Concerning Paul Haggis

January 15, 2018 By Mike Rinder 215 Comments

There is plenty of reason to worry about defending anyone accused of sexual assault in today’s climate. But the fear of consequences for speaking our truth has not held us back in the past and isn’t about to start now. We have supported victims of sexual abuse who have reached out to us and have worked with them and law enforcement to ensure justice is done for both victims and the accused. We have avoided trial by media. In this time of heightened awareness of sexual predators, it is easy to remain quiet when an injustice is being perpetrated for fear of being tarred as politically … [Read more...]

Scientology The Aftermath S2 E10: the Aftermath

November 1, 2017 By Mike Rinder 235 Comments

True to form, BEFORE the show even aired, scientology had their smears up about Chantal Dodson and Sherry Ollins. These people literally have no shame. Nor sense. But they seem to have a limitless supply of bullshit. They begin with a clever Halloween theme: "Just in time for Halloween, Leah Remini and A&E continue their religious witch hunt."  That is an award-winner. They opt for broad generalities, Chantal "ranks among the most ludicrous and transparently false yet. To say they never happened is a gross understatement. Chantal’s absurd claims fit the modus operandi for … [Read more...]

Scientology: Hollywood Reporter Writer Is Like Goebbels

October 8, 2017 By Mike Rinder 124 Comments

Apparently, Seth Abramovitch of the Hollywood Reporter has caused some serious butthurt in the scientology world. A couple of recent articles seem to have put him on the Enemies List and scientology has responded in their typically understated fashion. On one of scientology's many Facebook smear pages, they repeatedly posted this: I guess the irony of this being posted on their own Facebook hate page "Leah Remini #AfterCash" never occurred to them? They keep repeating the big lie that Aftermath is about money... It must be obvious to even THEM by now that this docuseries does not … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Response to Episode 5

September 14, 2017 By Mike Rinder 178 Comments

Time to take a look at the weekly "response" from scientology to The Aftermath's latest episode. It is of course as pathetic as all their previous efforts because they cannot address the FACTS, so they exclusively deal in ad hominem attacks pursuant to scientology policy. I will endeavor to bring some semblance of truth to the stream of lies they put forth about JB and Jackson. Scientology is wearing a trail into the carpet -- everyone is a bad person, they are all "low-level" nobodies, they all have "confessions" that "prove" they are liars, cheats and thieves and not a single person … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Response to Episode 3

August 31, 2017 By Mike Rinder 294 Comments

True to form, within minutes of the show airing, scientology put up a new smear site, with videos from Liz Gale's mother and an unidentified "family friend." To call these videos lame is to give them way too much credence. Marie Gale spends most of her time talking about me -- that I have somehow twisted Liz's mind to get her to tell her life story and that I knew all about it 20 years ago, so no news here. She also talks about Philip being accepted to MIT. Not a SINGLE RESPONSE to the destruction of the family, abandoning Liz, selling the ranch or anything else in the episode. The … [Read more...]

Scientology The Aftermath S2 Ep 3: the Aftermath

August 29, 2017 By Mike Rinder 276 Comments

Another tough episode. That was an example of the "ideal" scientology family. About as successful as their "ideal" orgs. It will be a bit of a breather next week as we take a look at Miscavige's rise to power. Elizabeth Gale is a courageous, strong, woman, mother and role model. We will be waiting (probably not for more than a few minutes) for the hate videos and smear site to go up that the busy little OSA beavers have been working on. Of course, every time they put them up they prove what is being exposed about them. But they don't care because they "know" (because L. Ron Hubbard told … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Aftermath Part 2

August 10, 2017 By Mike Rinder 154 Comments

See previous blog post Scientology's Aftermath. this is the second new PR spin to tumble out of Scientology in the last 24 hours. Responding to an article in Rolling Stone, headlined Leah Remini Wants Federal Investigation Into Scientology, Dear Leader Miscavige offered up further butt hurt whining: Regarding Remini calling for an "investigation," it is pure balderdash. The Church is a religious institution committed to our religious, social and humanitarian missions. The Church says Remini and her "sources" have continuously filed false reports with law enforcement that have been … [Read more...]

Season 2 Aftermath Special: Aftermath

May 30, 2017 By Mike Rinder 274 Comments

As I did after each program in the first season, I am putting this here as a place for people to make comments about the show that has just aired. The outpouring of support has been amazing already, just as it was in Season 1. As always, I am interested in your views - including criticisms and things you think might be better explained or covered. For new readers here I thought you might find it instructive to be directed to some earlier postings that may help explain some things. You may have seen some of the over-the-top statements about Leah, me or anyone who has a differing opinion … [Read more...]

1. Longtime Scientologist Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) slamming "Going Clear," gives you some insight into Scientology talking points and how people like her remain trapped in Scientology.

Cartwright has donated over 20 million dollars to Scientology.

Yes, twenty.

Yes. And wild cult advocacy and education. 👍

Yashar Ali 🐘@yashar

Would it be fair to say you strongly associate me with wildlife advocacy and education?

Part 2 with @sheltondesigner now available on #FairGamePodcast. We go deep into the RPF, #scientology's Thought Reform Program and the Truth Rundown "security checking" designed to gaslight a person that anything bad in #scientology is an invented lie. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/episode-36-critical-thinker-chris-shelton-part-2/
