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.

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...]

Just finished latest #fairgamepodcast featuring @katebornstein - her introspection and compassion made for a stand out episode. And since @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder always do a solid podcast, that's saying something.

Playbook for holding the #scientologycult and it's dictator accountable.
