Fair Game Podcast Is Back!

August 10, 2022 By Mike Rinder 71 Comments

 

 

This piece appeared recently, and though not widely picked up, I thought it worthy of noting:

In fact, we just recorded a short trailer. Stay tuned, regular Fair Game podcasts will resume later this month, now twice weekly….

        I just ran across your 2021 interview with DR. JOHN DEHLIN, who detailed how much alike Scientology and Mormonism are. However you should interview my famous friend on your podcast. She is a former Miss Wyoming USA who was “fair gamed” by the Mormon Cult. For 45 years she has been the victim of a well orchestrated Press Hoax by the Mormon PR Machine who destroyed her life, her reputation, and her career. She had tried to rescue her fiance from them. The Mormon cult brainwashed him mentally, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and even sexually. Please give her the chance to tell her tragic story, the amazing story behind the thousands of headlines. You may contact her via my E-mail at: syfields803@gmail.com

            BEcause that was the intention at the time and the episodes were all ready to go and then the distribution company decided not to fulfill their contract and this is still being resolved. Hopefully it will be finalized shortly.

        Hey Mike ~ I totally sympathize with whatever is going on in your life & Leah’s. I think it’s a testament to how much you have both impacted all our lives that we are so anxious for new episodes of the podcast that our anxiety that there won’t be any new ones is incredibly sad. Having also been raised in a cult the absolute truth & vulnerability you & Leah present to your audience is so empowering. After years of being “out” of my own personal cult (JW) your bravery in exposing your indoctrination and emotions has encouraged me to explore the ugly underbelly of what I was raised in. I sincerely admire your bravery & fortitude in telling your stories & then putting up with & surviving all the harassment you & your family & friends have been subjected to! I would totally understand you, your family, Leah & her family just wanting to just have “a life” away from harassment……but (selfishly) we want you guys to continue with your interviews & stories that resonate & encourage the rest of us. Do what is best for you, your family ~ Leah & her family….in the end that is what it is always about ~ ❤️

          I’m also anxiously awaiting new Fair Game episodes (I’m on the blog right now trying to find out what’s going on!).

          If you want to listen to more inspiring stories related to cults, the podcast Trust Me is a good place to go until Mike and Leah come back to us. 🙂

    I don’t know why you would say that Fair Game is “worthy of nothing”.

    Even though Scientology has now shrunk to a tiny fraction of what it used to be, it is still worth informing the public of all the cruel practices in which they engage.

    I would encourage you to keep on slugging it out until this so-called religion is dead and gone for good.

    Congratulations Mike and Leah and a GREAT BIG THANK YOU! If the powers that be won’t do anything about this vile group called “The Church of Scientology,” then at least there is you.

    I am extremely grateful to you for continuing to expose the abuses inflicted by this “religion.”

      You are certainly correct whey you say:

      1) the powers that be won’t do anything about this

      and

      2) then at least there is you

      This is so true. This cult will be with us for many years to come. After Mike & Leah have come and gone, this cult will still be abusing people and committing all kinds of atrocities.

      Also, Mick has prefaced his blog by saying, “Something can be done about it”. This is also true. The least thing that can be done about it is Mike & Leah’s pod last and no matter how long they keep doing that, it will have the least tiny effect.

      Their podcast is the least little thing that can be done about the cult. Nothing else has any effect. So although their podcast will warn off a few potential new members, that is just about all that it will accomplish – aside from making some of the former victims feel good that somebody is doing something about it.

      Just don’t make the mistake of thinking that anything they can do will ever put an end to this cult. That is one thing they will never be able to do.

      Isn’t it exciting! No, you’re in no danger, Helen. Scientology only has the resources to go after its very worst “enemies” these days. As we know, they have zero self-control when it comes to these brave people, but those of us who simply comment on the internet or even attend protests are outside their ability to react 🙂

      It is not widely known and it is a “High Crime” for anyone to tell this secret.

      But in an official church ceremony, he had his right hand named “Gladys” and his left hand named “Isobelle”.

      He has always dreamed of engaging in threesomes and this is one way he believes he can make his dream come true.

      It is widely thought that he must have a relationship going with his constant companion and lackey Laurisse Henley-Smith Stuckenbrock. But there is no definitive evidence of this.

      Like Hubbard, most of Dave’s assistants and close confidents are attractive females but if he indulges with them would not be something we would be able to know.
