Clearwater Police Chief Inspects Flag

April 1, 2020 By Mike Rinder 50 Comments

As always, Tracey McManus has the story. I spoke to Tracey about this earlier today and she quoted me in the article. But I had more thoughts on it that she was unable to include. I also have a copy of Chief Slaughter's publicly available report. First, this comes as a relief to me. My son is in this facility, so anything being done to mitigate the threat of this pandemic is very welcome. Second, I applaud Chief Slaughter for taking the initiative to do something.

Scientology Orgs Shuttering? Flag is NOT (update)

March 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 101 Comments

While it appears to be business as usual at Flag (and likely the other Sea Org orgs), it seems there may be a shift at the lower echelons of the hierarchy. One of our dedicated readers sent in a report that a local org is telling their public "they will be closing for 2 weeks." Another called the NY Org and asked simply "Are you open?", and the guy on reception said "No."  The caller waited, thinking there would be some elaboration and the line remained silent. No further information was forthcoming. Perhaps some of our other readers could call your local org and ask them if they are … [Read more...]

Clearwater Follies

June 24, 2018 By Mike Rinder 160 Comments

Leah and I were speaking with our old friend Mark Bunker, who was telling us about the injunction scientology obtained against him and other members of the Lisa McPherson Trust back in 1998. Amazingly, scientology still seeks to enforce this injunction against him to this day – its language prevents him from protesting in front of some specified scientology buildings and from coming within 10 feet of any scientologist (it’s a mystery how he is supposed to know who is or isn’t a scientologist…) but they tried to get him thrown out of his condo because a scientologist lived next door, and … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
