SuMP Wins “Awards”

October 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

The latest Emmy for The Aftermath seems to have gotten under the skin of Miscavige. His multi-million dollar media "empire" (Scientology Media Productions) has been a dismal failure. No shows worth watching. No audience. Not a single Emmy nomination for anything, let alone a win. In fact, they don't even make any Emmy ballot categories to even be considered for a nomination. So we are now seeing them hyping the "dotCOMM" awards they garnered. You are no doubt wondering what a "dotCOMM" award is. Their hype machine spit out this description. So I took a quick look at the … [Read more...]

An Interview with Leah Remini

August 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

If you didnt see this on my social media yesterday, I recommend you read this piece in AwardsCircuit.com about The Aftermath. It is pegged to the Emmy nomination for the finale that aired last year (the result will be announced on Monday 14 Sept). Leah talks about the Danny Masterson case and why we didn't air the initial episode we shot. She also discusses the Me Too movement and scientology, the STAND League, scientology tax exempt status and much more. Give it a read.         … [Read more...]

Scientology and The Aftermath Emmy Nomination

July 28, 2020 By Mike Rinder 53 Comments

The Emmy nominations were announced this morning. This came as a pleasant, but total surprise. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath has been nominated each year it aired -- 4 times in all as the 3 seasons spanned 4 years of eligibility. That is a pretty remarkable record, and we thank and congratulate IPC, A&E and our crew for their dedication, courage and professionalism. And to the Television Academy for their support. But most of all we recognize the brave contributors who bared their souls and stories in the face of scientology's reputation for conducting Fair Game … [Read more...]

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...

This is destined to be an #SPTV classic comedy moment. @blownforgood and @claireheadley share details of their "first date" in the Sea Org. It's near the end. If you're not subscribed to my channel yet, please do so... There is also important content.

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
