Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health

May 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 33 Comments

  On this day in 1950, "Book One" was published. It seems an appropriate day to remember some of the claims Hubbard made in his lengthy explanation of his "discoveries" that had been thoroughly tested... Let's start with the most infamous: Clears of course DO get colds. They also get cancer, suffer heart attacks, strokes, pancreatitis and all sorts of other ailments. But this statement is still in the current edition of book. As for the 270 cases, this is of course also a total fabrication. Obviously. No "laboratory fact" confirms this lie because it is provably false. … [Read more...]

Episode 24: Author and Icon Kate Bornstein

January 18, 2021 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

  We are very excited to welcome author, playwright, performance artist, actor and icon Kate Bornstein to the Fair Game Podcast this week. For those unfamiliar with Kate, she is a prominent figure in the Trans Community. I have known her since the early 70's when she went by the name Al Bornstein, in fact Lt.

We talk about Kate's history in scientology, its homophobia and transphobia, how scientology attempts "pray the gay away" with auditing, Kate's disconnection, her books and a lot more. She is an … [Read more...]

Dianetics Dissembling

May 21, 2018 By Mike Rinder 81 Comments

This is promotion for the now completed Dianetics celebration. This used to be a big deal event in scientology. It is now a whimper that gets little attention because it interferes with Miscavige's annual scuba diving expedition on the Freewinds for "Maiden Voyage." Now, there are plenty of lies in this pitch -- one cannot attain Clear from reading Dianetics. In fact, over 60 years it has been proven the state of Clear as described in Dianetics is a pipe dream that even L. Ron Hubbard himself could not achieve.  But nevertheless, they're still selling Dianetics hard as the solution … [Read more...]

@LeahRemini @MikeRinder Thank you for brining further awareness to the authorities of this cult! Scientology uses conversion therapy which is not illegal in Ca. I have been through plenty of it with this CULT and its abuse. Im grateful now to have my free and beautiful GAY life!

When Scientology learned that Michelle LeClair was in a relationship with a woman, and she wouldn’t end the relationship as they ordered, they tried to destroy her life. https://twitter.com/leclair4justice/status/1526728385384398849

Bill Burr is doing a gig in Tampa on Friday. He is either terribly uninformed or is hedging his bets so he isn't #FairGamed by #scientology when he comes to town... Or maybe he just likes the media attention that comes with making absurd statements.
