In response to many requests, I have signed more copies of A Billion Years and they are now available through the SP Shop. This is a way of raising funds for The Aftermath Foundation -- all monies are used to help people escape from scientology and transition into the "wog" world. I wanted to get this announcement out for anyone who wanted a signed edition and missed out earlier, with the first people to hear about it on my blog. There are a limited number available (I signed 60, the site will tell you how many are left). Each book is $75. Thursday Funnies will appear on … [Read more...]
The Aftermath Foundation Cards
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. A scientology FSM hands out business cards to attract new marks. Interesting she chooses a quote that calls scientology an "applied philosophy" and not a religion, yet she uses the quote (without attribution) that Hubbard said Volunteer MINISTERS should use "I will talk to you or anyone for you about anything." I suspect this business card is part of a campaign by scientology having seen the repeated postings on social media of people leaving Aftermath Foundation business cards in front of orgs, on notice boards, in … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to Church of Scientology by Mark Fladd
Mark Fladd appeared with his wife, Stephanie, on an episode of The Aftermath. They told part of their experiences with Orange County org. Good people, chewed up and spit out by the relentless money-grubbing. Of course, instead of making things right with them, scientology sought to smear them. Mark wanted to clarify some things and I am happy to have this forum available for him to do so. Open Letter to Church of Scientology Clarifications and an update for the Public Record By Mark Fladd, ex-Scientologist | Riverside County, California | 2020 Introduction The … [Read more...]
Blog Problems — Update
As you may have noticed, there have been some issues in the last couple of days with the blog. They may continue for a bit while things are sorted out. Please have patience. Taking the lead from Miscavige, I declare this to be a cyberspace bullbait. Here is what I know. While the number of visits to this site has increased steadily following the Netflix airings of The Aftermath it did not create an issue until a few days ago when things started to ramp up with bots putting a lot of demand on the site, and then seeking to login (none succeeded). This is not uncommon in the … [Read more...]
Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath Now on Netflix
As of today, 3 seasons of The Aftermath are now available on Netflix... Hoping this will generate a new wave of interest in ending the abuses of scientology. … [Read more...]
“The Aftermath” Song
Thursday night we witnessed a wonderful performance by a very talented young woman at the annual ChildUSA Gala. McKenna Gray composed and performed her latest song, "The Aftermath": These are the lyrics: THE AFTERMATH VERSE 1 We don't get to choose where we grow up Or who stays in our lives when we are young. What happens behind closed doors is something we could never stop. Don't believe the lies they told you. It was never your fault. CHORUS: This isn't how it was meant to go. It's so easy to lose who we are in the undertow. But we're not just some rubble left … [Read more...]
SuMP Wins “Awards”
The latest Emmy for The Aftermath seems to have gotten under the skin of Miscavige. His multi-million dollar media "empire" (Scientology Media Productions) has been a dismal failure. No shows worth watching. No audience. Not a single Emmy nomination for anything, let alone a win. In fact, they don't even make any Emmy ballot categories to even be considered for a nomination. So we are now seeing them hyping the "dotCOMM" awards they garnered. You are no doubt wondering what a "dotCOMM" award is. Their hype machine spit out this description. So I took a quick look at the … [Read more...]
What’s Up With Scientology TV?
STAND League makes a big deal out of the "ratings" of The Aftermath and A&E. Still at it more than a year after the last episode aired. This is one of their recent headlines, exhorting Disney to "pull the plug" on A&E. The hypocrites at STAND proclaim "the audience has spoken and they reject hate speech"... Actually, the audience spoke and made The Aftermath the biggest hit A&E had when we were airing -- though Live PD had higher audience numbers, The Aftermath was their "prestige" show. Emmy nominations across 4 years for 3 seasons and numerous other awards … [Read more...]
Scientology and The Aftermath Emmy Nomination
The Emmy nominations were announced this morning. This came as a pleasant, but total surprise. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath has been nominated each year it aired -- 4 times in all as the 3 seasons spanned 4 years of eligibility. That is a pretty remarkable record, and we thank and congratulate IPC, A&E and our crew for their dedication, courage and professionalism. And to the Television Academy for their support. But most of all we recognize the brave contributors who bared their souls and stories in the face of scientology's reputation for conducting Fair Game … [Read more...]
Help Needed
My friend John Brousseau (JB) needs help. And it is something I cannot provide myself so I am laying it out here to this blog family to see if there is anyone who may be in a position to help out for a few weeks. A few weeks ago JB was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer of the lymphocytes which are the infection-fighting cells of the immune system). He is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The prognosis is very good for a complete remission of the disease. He is a single dad with 2 beautiful children aged 8 and 6. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic they are not currently in school. They … [Read more...]
