					<description><![CDATA[I want to give a plug to my old and dear friend Jefferson Hawkins who has started this group in Portland OR for former scientologists. Jeff has some others working together with him on this, but he is the &#8220;name&#8221; and I encourage anyone in the Portland area to connect up with them. Head over [&#8230;]]]></description>

He is the author of 3 books on the subject. Episode 77: Jefferson Hawkins [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Leah recently reminded me of this wonderful website, and in particular, this article by my old friend Jeff Hawkins. Jeff is one of the kindest, smartest and most decent people I know. When Miscavige blew him off, he lost one of the only real marketing geniuses in scientology. Jeff was responsible for the single successful [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; This comes from another of the entirely inappropriately titled scientology internet fronts, the &#8220;Truth Newsroom&#8221;. This thing, with no names or identities associated, not even the word scientology &#8211; is clearly an OSA operation. They send out a constant stream of material taken from former Sea Org members&#8217; files. They put one out from [&#8230;]]]></description>
