LA County District Attorney Election Tomorrow.

March 2, 2020 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

The election for the District Attorney of LA County is on "Super Tuesday" (tomorrow, 3 March). This is not something I would normally write about, but the actions of Jackie Lacey have concerned me for some time -- since I was first contacted by the victims of Danny Masterson. Leah and I have been personally involved trying to help these women get justice and have witnessed the frustration of Jackie Lacey sitting on the proposed prosecution of the crimes without rejecting or filing charges. She has left the case and Masterson's victims in limbo. It is the coward's way out -- if a … [Read more...]

Catch and Kill

December 16, 2019 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

  I recently finished reading Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow. It was an excellent, if horrifying read. Being familiar with the tactics scientology uses against victims of sexual abuse or "enemies" I didn't learn any new techniques or methods used by the unscrupulous to protect their crimes. But I was struck again at the similarities between Harvey Weinsten and scientology. I wrote about this in an earlier post Harvey Weinstein & Scientology -- Separated at Birth? All the tactics are described in this book: Hiring high … [Read more...]

Stand Double Standards

September 25, 2019 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

Not that this is big news... scientology is operating on a blatant double standard. I saw this on the STAAD twitter feed. Now of course, we could do an even better headline -- SCIENTOLOGY SUPPORTS ALLEGED RAPIST DANNY MASTERSON. The difference in the two cases is rather striking. The accuser of Haggis NEVER FILED a police complaint. In fact, the main accuser tried to get money from Paul Haggis to remain silent. HE went to law enforcement to report this. Masteron's victims all went to law enforcement -- and there are 4 of them of have filed police complaints and now after … [Read more...]

The “Mike Rinder Problem”

January 5, 2019 By Mike Rinder 157 Comments

  Scientology has come up with a new attack line -- the "Mike Rinder Problem." It is quite an honor to be singled out so specifically, especially as I am according to them merely a "bobblehead" (though a "wife-beating" one so that is apparently a bigger deal). They shifted their attacks from Nancy Dubuc to Paul Buccieri in a deft strategic move. Their clever PR maneuvers are a sight to behold. According to scientology, the "Mike Rinder Problem" is this: "Like the classic wife beater that he is, Rinder digs in his heels and refuses to admit he injured his former wife Cathy during an … [Read more...]

Harvey Weinstein & Scientology – Separated at Birth?

November 13, 2017 By Mike Rinder 194 Comments

This New Yorker article is an extremely detailed and well-documented peek behind the curtain of a dirtbag with a lot of money hiring big-name, reputable lawyers and private investigators to conduct a concerted campaign to intimidate and silence victims of and witnesses to his abuse. Scientology has been doing this for years. Decades actually. They wrote the book, literally, on this sort of intimidation tactics.  Everyone else is a pretender to the throne of corrupt power abusing the less powerful with impunity. The big difference between Harvey Weinstein and scientology is the money … [Read more...]

@LeahRemini @azhlynne @UltioetVeritas @MikeRinder As fellow "Never-Ins" we enjoyed this latest podcast episode with Stefani. It's mind boggling that Scientology has tax exempt status. Hoping @TheJusticeDept tunes in as more and more people speak out.

@BenjaminDuckwo5 @MikeRinder @LeahRemini @KarendlaCariere @randomname7700 @KatLaRue7 @TeamSPNetwork @SkyBird03914123 @Deana828 @enfant_criminel Our best weapons are truth, facts and our voices. The more people who speak out, write to the government, law enforcement, the IRS & US Treasury the more headway we make. The pen is mightier than the sword and much better than any violence.

@Aimee43123992 @MikeRinder @MissAussieKylie @LeahRemini Like Mike says, we need voices. Pressure on the IRS & Congress. If there is enough public pressure change can happen. Write to the US Treasury Inspector General asking for an investigation into COS’ exemption. The address is on my blog:
