The Hungary Games

January 17, 2018 By Mike Rinder 97 Comments

Things are not looking up for scientology in Hungary. This is the call that went out recently, and it is enlightening just how much trouble they are in:   HUNGARY NEEDS OUR HELP TO SECURE THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!   Dear fellow Scientologists,   Hungary's freedom to practice religion freely - particularly Scientology - is in danger and needs immediate help.

In fact, they don't even have their filing up to date!     The Foundation for Planetary Clearing There are apparently 50 or more of these ideal orgs.

The Budapest Boondoggle

September 9, 2013 By Mike Rinder 131 Comments

One of our Special Correspondents in Budapest sent in this report of the sad tale of the failed attempts to create an "Ideal Org" in Budapest (this org was declared SH Size sometime in the 90's and at that time was one of the fastest growing orgs on earth). Some of the information in here is stunning -- the rip off by the Int Landlord Office, the financial irregularities, the utter incompetence -- but it is by no means uncommon. Similar stories have come in from many of these "Ideal Org" projects.  The Budapest Ideal Org Story A bit of a background: Scientology was registered in Hungary as a … [Read more...]

Awesome show today ... as usual. It inspired me to resurrect a site I started in 2008 on #Scientology. It fell into disrepair some time ago but it's coming back. Keep up the good work!

If you haven’t, please follow the amazing journalist @TroMcManus. She does outstanding work! The harassment she gets from #Scientology for just doing her job is absolutely uncalled for. Thank you for your incredible reporting Tracey! https://twitter.com/GrowingupinSCN/status/1637250281216917504
