If anyone in the Clearwater community does not believe scientology is determined to own their city, let this be another warning. This woman apparently doesn't have enough to do in Venezuela (everything is going along so well there) so she is in Clearwater delivering seminars (in Spanish ?) "in alignment with our purpose of making Clearwater an ideal city." For those who don't know, "ideal" in scientology means "fully in accordance with the dictates of L. Ron Hubbard." Scientologists are learning and "drilling" to infiltrate the community. They are proud of this effort and want every … [Read more...]
Clearwater Election — Don’t Support Scientology
The Clearwater City Council election is coming up on March 15. Just over a month away. Every reader of this blog is aware that Aaron Smith-Levin is seeking election to the City Council. His opponent in the race is Lina Teixeira. Aaron has just done a video detailing specific reasons why she is not just soft on scientology, but actively works with them to influence matters in downtown Clearwater. This is something all voters in Clearwater need to know. Spread it on social media as you can. If you want to support Aaron's campaign, click here. … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Not-so-secret Clearwater Political Campaign
Someone forwarded this recent scientology email blast to me. They're trying to keep it hidden. Note the "DO NOT POST ON FB" bold ALL CAPS at the end. It contains a bunch of coded language. Despite what it says, the recipients of this message know they are not supposed to actually do their own research -- they might see something they are not supposed to see. By labeling Aaron an "Anti-scientologist" nothing more need be said. Because he is an "anti-scientologist" he is automatically an "anti-social personality" (or SP). Every scientologist knows you must NOT support an … [Read more...]
Signs of Success
To quote the famous philosopher, humanitarian, religious leader, nuclear physicist, author, horticulturist, sea captain, glider pilot, explorer, adventurer and musician, L. Ron Hubbard from his HCOB 1 May 1958 SIGNS OF SUCCESS: Whenever we’re really winning the squirrels start to scream. You can tell if somebody is a squirrel. They howl or make trouble only when we’re winning. Spectacular success can quadruple the number of complaints. Recently there has been an uptick in the number of complaints registered in the comments section of my blog. I must be doing something … [Read more...]
Episode 60: Clearwater City Council Candidate Aaron Smith-Levin
In this episode we talk to our old friend Aaron Smith-Levin about a wide variety of topics, including the status of Goliath the SP dog, but focus on his announcement that he is running to be elected to the Clearwater City Council and the activities of the Aftermath Foundation. Aaron appeared in the original season of The Aftermath, in one of the more memorable episodes: My recent post about Aaron running for City Council: Aaron Smith-Levin for City Council website: Leah Remini: Scientology and the … [Read more...]

Aaron Smith Levin for Clearwater City Council
The latest Tracey McManus article on scientology ran yesterday, announcing that Aaron Smith-Levin is running to join Mark Bunker on the Clearwater City Council. Unfortunately, the editor chose a photo that featured me more prominently than Aaron and some thought I was running (I do not live in Clearwater so am not eligible to serve on the City Council). This is a significant event in Clearwater. Mark Bunker was elected to the City Council earlier. There is a new regime in Clearwater -- a new City Manager (Jon Jennings) and City Attorney (David Margolis) are coming to town, hopefully they … [Read more...]
Pinellas County Sheriff Candidate Eliseo Santana: Scientology Shill
Eliseo Santana just sent me this mailer as a resident of Pinellas County. Last month, he became the democratic candidate to challenge the incumbent Sheriff Bob Gualtieri. I would not normally comment on this, except earlier this year, Eliseo Santana also ran for Clearwater City Council against Mark Bunker. Santana was a scientology shill in that election. (You can watch some of the videos of Santana in action at that link). Scientology is afraid of running any scientologist candidates -- they know they will lose -- so they try to curry favor with candidates by promising them their … [Read more...]
Mark Bunker Settles In at City Hall
Mark Bunker was sworn in to the Clearwater City Council seat 2 on Monday. There is a public ceremony being held in City Hall on Thursday evening. This is his new desk. And his first visitor. Mark tells me Bobblerinder will be a permanent fixture at his desk. It is quite an honor. … [Read more...]
Clearwater Elections Today — Vote for Mark Bunker
If you are a resident of Clearwater, please exercise your right to vote today. As I have said since he announced his candidacy, I wholeheartedly support Mark Bunker for Seat 2 on the Clearwater City Council. Mark has changed the landscape of city politics in Clearwater by simply being in the race. He has forced those running for office to have to confront the issue of scientology and its impact on the local community. With no political history and no real "campaign" organized, it has been a word of mouth, grassroots effort. If you don't want scientology to hoodwink the city into the … [Read more...]
