Free Quarantine

June 13, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

Yes, come to Flag and you will still be forced to quarantine. But it’s sort of free -- and in the scientology world, that is a really big deal. They never give ANYTHING away for free. The catch here is that you have to buy their food. Because, of course, if you are quarantined you can’t go out of the building. And you can’t order food from outside to be delivered. So, you can get one of their $20 room service burgers… Can you believe they are still requiring everyone to quarantine? The US doesn't even require a negative test to fly into the country any more. Just another indication of the … [Read more...]

RiverPark Mission is on Fire

April 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

  Tony sold 44 raw books last week - HIMSELF ! Our Boss at Scientology Missions International had this made and sent to him. Quite fitting since Tony is Chinese/Taiwanese and it IS the year of the TIGER. Tony has been my staff member at the Riverpark Mission for 25 years. He is so pan-determined and so tireless and so dedicated to helping LRH Clear Earth. He deserves the utmost in admiration. I am so proud of him. The more books we avalanche out into the community the more we will turn the tide and win the day .. the day of sanity and freedom envisioned by LRH for all mankind. We would … [Read more...]

More Mappin Madness

March 12, 2022 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

I recently wondered whether John Mappin was a Russian Propagandist, Nazi or Fool (or all of the above)... He seems to have eliminated one of the categories and doubled down on the other two. Apparently, he is not a Nazi. His reference to being a Pureblood, smacked of naziism, so I wondered. It's apparently code for "COVID unvaccinated" -- a poor choice of word to use under any circumstance, but hardly a big shock that those who use it wouldn't find it objectionable. But he did announce himself loud and proud as a Russian Propagandist with this social media … [Read more...]

Episode 80: Tony Ortega Inside the Scientology Bubble

March 7, 2022 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

  We welcome our old friend Tony Ortega back to the Fair Game podcast to talk about  the current state of scientology, their ongoing financial crimes and the devastation COVID 19 has wrought on their information control. Tony is a gold mine of information about the cult, and our chat was no exception. He documents the world of scientology on his daily blog: The Underground Bunker. Tony's two books on scientology: Battlefield Scientology   Unbreakable Miss Lovely   We talk about Miscavige's Pandemic bulletin of March 2020:   … [Read more...]

John Mappin: Russian Propagandist? Nazi? Fool? Scientologist.

March 5, 2022 By Mike Rinder 64 Comments

It's hard to fathom the insanity of Mappin that is apparent in his social media posts (see earlier post about him here). Is there anyone other than a died-in-the-wool Nazi who would put this on social media? Purebloods???? WTF?   And now he is raving about the fools who have "bought the war narrative lock stock and three smoking brain cells." I wonder if he is using the "False Flag Operation" explanation like Alex Jones trotted out after Sandy Hook to explain the video footage that is undeniable of the war being raged in Ukraine?     And another one … [Read more...]

Quarantine Award at Flag

February 6, 2022 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

  Things must be desperate at Flag. They are GIVING AWAY "free" accommodations for your quarantine stay if you come to Flag now and complete a service before March 13. You still have to pay for your food. They're not going to give away something that costs them anything. Putting people in empty rooms only incurs the cost of the lights and some hot water for showers. The rooms would be there sitting empty otherwise. The slave labor Sea Org maids are there -- if they don't have any rooms to clean they have them writing letters. What is most remarkable about this is they still … [Read more...]

Episode 72: Stefani Hutchison Exposing the Lies

January 10, 2022 By Mike Rinder 62 Comments

We bring back one of our favorites this week, the wonderful Stefani Hutchison. Stefani was never a scientologist, but has taken up the cudgel of exposing the lies of scientology on her excellent blog: Confront and Shatter   In this episode, we cover some of the sleuth work Stefani has done, investigating the claims made by scientology and their front groups. You can find the stories on her blog, and I am also listing them here. It is pretty conclusive evidence that when scientology claims they are "working with the Red Cross" or had a "partnership with..." or "they handed … [Read more...]

Happy New Year

January 1, 2022 By Mike Rinder 29 Comments

Enjoying a wonderful New Year with friends... I hope you are too. I believe 2022 is going to be a watershed year in the world of scientology for two main reasons. The pandemic has taken its toll on an organization that relies on keeping people inside an information bubble that needs personal contact and briefings. Emerging from the pandemic, assuming this happens in 2022, when so many have been distanced from the controlling influences of the organization is going to be revelatory. It will expose the truth about the real state of scientology — which is a shell of its former … [Read more...]

“Dr.” L. Ron Hubbard on Germs and Vaccines

October 3, 2021 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

  Crackpot scientologist Carole Eddington sent around an email with some collected "wisdom" from "Dr." Hubbard about germs and vaccines. The guy who said not smoking enough cigarettes is the real cause of cancer, has some other interesting medical advice about how germs don't exist and that the "first 100 soldiers admitted with smallpox in WW II had all been vaccinated." It gives a pretty good glimpse into the mindset of a true-believer. To any outsider, this is just Hubbard being Hubbard: making up stories, theories and lies. Unfortunately scientologists buy it as gospel. If … [Read more...]

Run Aground at the Freewinds

September 7, 2021 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

For some time now it has been a running joke that the Freewinds "off the crossroads of the world" has been tied up to a dock because they had no money available to purchase the fuel to leave harbor. But for the past year, the Freewinds has been really run aground. Anyone who arrives to Aruba intent on visiting the permanently docked vessel must first spent two weeks aground in a motel room in "quarantine." Here is a recent arrival announcing the wonders of her trip to the stranded Freewinds. Oh, the amazing luxury of a room with a coffee table AND a table and chairs (on the patio). And … [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
