					<description><![CDATA[Mike,

I have been aware of the situation of ASL for awhile. I saw that he was turning everyone against you Christie Marc Claire and those who support and who are close to you. It was odd to see. But not completely unexpected. His behavior started turning more concerning around the Danny Masterson trial. Now knowing why because of recent evidence that has shown up. Knowing that this was going on around the time you kindly asked Aaron to resign from the AF makes sense now. You all had every single right to drop him. You where extremely kind to him. Even after everything. In November when he made the announcement I felt like something was off he  was blaming everyone else. But himself. He was the real problem. Not you not the AF. Him and inly him. At this time he gained a large following . He seems to have made his own cult. It&#039;s terrifying actually how he gained so much traction and he just got stuck there his ego took over. He soon didn&#039;t care about his friends and it seems like he doesn&#039;t care for his family either. He makes videos all the time. He only seems to care about that and getting views and making money. ASL and his followers are not helping the cause. They are making it worse. It shows where their priorities lie.

You on the other hand do care about getting people out you could care less about the drama. You want to expose Scientology for what it is. And it&#039;s been clear that you wanted to do that from the start. 

I think the thing that is the most clear about you is that you put your family above everything. This post and previous posts show that. You didn&#039;t make videos every day. You put family and friends above that. Knowing that this whole situation had an effect on your family is honestly heartbreaking. You being their for your beautiful wife and children. Shows who you are. Making this blg post to set things straight and to go back to focusing on whe abuses of COS also shows that. 
ASL and his group that can&#039;t seem to keep you name out of their mouths shows who they are. They seem to be and people hurting not only people trying to stop abuse but the people who are being abused.

Everything that you Christie Marc Claire (Ect) gave done is the total opposite of what they are doing.
 
I hope you Christie and the boys are doing better since this was posted a while ago.

Hold them close. You deserve to be happy you don&#039;t deserve what ASL and his group are doing. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to have the beautiful family you have now.   The friends and supporters who believe in you and care for you. Your children who are not in something so toxic and abusive with you both supporting and caring for them. Ans of course Christie who loves, adores and supports you and you do the same to her.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reading this made me livid. I am so sorry that this was/is happening to you.You don&#039;t deserve it in any way shape or form. I watched what ASL had to say about this woth his plethora of videos that he has made. And it doesn&#039;t make sense what he is saying.I also watched his followers/friends videos Rabbits, Nora, Miriam, Marilyn and those videos dont make any sense either. It&#039;s actually greatly concerning. Knowing what he has done now it is all the more horrifying. He has started his own little cult. Blaming everyone who disagrees with him lying and harming people he is causing so much damage not only to the people trying to leave but the people like you, Christie, Marc,Claire, Amy, Matt. ECT. 
He isn&#039;t doing this to help people anymore.  He&#039;s going it for his own personal gain. I remember the night that he made the video about him leaving the Aftermath Foundation. Everything was so incredibly uncomfortable and aggressive. I    already had weird feelings about ASL but what he was saying just made everything worse. I also remember the live stream you did following ASL. I remember reading the comments and being infuriated with them. They were wishing death like you mentioned. I think this showed what ASL and his group is like. It shows that they didn&#039;t care. Literally wishing death upon you. I can&#039;t imagine the toll it had to have on you, Christie and your children. In the end I find it very noble of you to keep exposing the abuses of Scientology. But I find it even more noble that you put your wife and children above that. It shows alot about who you are. A person who cares for his family who wants them to be safe and happy. You show you value them over everything. Unlike others who tend to value views attention money and fame more.
I know this was posted a while ago but I hope you Christie and your children are doing well sending so much love to you all.]]></description>

I forgot to add this. when I read this blog post and I got to the part where you were saying that it had an effect on your family. The fact that these people who support Aaron and people around him are acting like this taking no one else and to consideration but them. It&#039;s horrible. And it shows who they are. But with that being said it also shows what you are like. It shows that you care for your family and the ones you hold close that&#039;s far more powerful than what they are doing.

Sending so much love to you your wife and your children.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mike, I just learned about this situation mainly from this post. So I looked up other sources to hear what they had to say. What they said me no sense entirely none. Especially now after what has been revealed about a week ago. Aaron has turned into something that is kind of indescribable in a way he&#039;s practically made his own cult. Where he lies about outside sources he lies about his former friends he hurts people and he shames people for nothing at other sources. I watch one of his old videos and there is kind of a little bit of light and happiness left in his eyes. That was a video made in January of 2023. But around June of 2023 there wasn&#039;t really much light or happiness in his eyes at all. Then I looked at the most recent video that he has made are one of the most recents the light was gone. I don&#039;t think he&#039;s doing the right thing he&#039;s not doing the thing that he promised he wants to do he&#039;s not doing this to save people from Scientology. He&#039;s causing more harm. As for Miriam&#039;s case I watched one of her videos and nothing adds up there are things that are missing nothing makes sense they were even contradictions that she says one thing one sentence and then says the opposite in the next. I think you and the rest of the Aftermath Foundation board made a good decision with dropping him considering what we have learned now and even if we didn&#039;t know what he did I still think it was a good idea because of how he was acting. 

I just wanted to thank you for everything you&#039;ve done to help expose Scientology. So I am relatively new to learning about the horrors that go on within it&#039;s clear that you care and you want to help people so I thank you for that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have recently found out about this whole situation and it&#039;s awful.

Mike you have save countless of people&#039;s lives. And you continue to do so. I have looked in to some of the videos that you mentioned and others that you did not. All of which seem to be involved with ASL in one way or another. And what they are saying does not make sense. They contradict themselves over and over and blame others for what they caused and they even victim shame at some points. I also see that they don&#039;t care about anything but the views and the money. ASLs behavior has been erratic as of late from what i have seen. I am so sorry for what his supporters have been saying to you. It&#039;s sickening. They turn their backs in someone who has done so much good just because ASL got butthurt.

But anyways.. take your time. Spend time with your beautiful wife and children and those who make you happy.

Much love and support to you all.
