Episode 17: Former Sea Org Executive Claire Headley

November 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 95 Comments

Leah and I were extremely happy to welcome our old friend Claire Headley to the Fair Game podcast. Claire of course appeared in 2 episodes of The Aftermath -- and she was recently featured on the Netflix home page: I have known Claire and her husband Marc since I first went to the Gold Base -- way back in the 80's. Claire worked closely with Miscavige as an executive in Religious Technology Center. She was the Deputy Inspector General Internal. Claire helped me many times, she is one of the few people I know -- especially at the international level, and even more specifically in … [Read more...]

Why Do Scientologists Lie?

June 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

I originally posted a version of this in early 2017. I have updated it with additional information and quotes. It's important, especially in light of the ongoing prosecution of Danny Masterson, other investigations, and civil cases. Anyone who confronts scientology witnesses needs to understand the nature of the beast.    While repeatedly asserting that they are "the most ethical group on earth" and that they are constantly having to "get rid of" people who "cannot live up to their ethical standards," in truth, every dedicated scientologist is a liar. Why? The short answer: … [Read more...]

Help Needed

April 28, 2020 By Mike Rinder 24 Comments

My friend John Brousseau (JB) needs help. And it is something I cannot provide myself so I am laying it out here to this blog family to see if there is anyone who may be in a position to help out for a few weeks. A few weeks ago JB was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer of the lymphocytes which are the infection-fighting cells of the immune system). He is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The prognosis is very good for a complete remission of the disease. He is a single dad with 2 beautiful children aged 8 and 6. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic they are not currently in school. They … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Response to Episode 5

September 14, 2017 By Mike Rinder 178 Comments

Time to take a look at the weekly "response" from scientology to The Aftermath's latest episode. It is of course as pathetic as all their previous efforts because they cannot address the FACTS, so they exclusively deal in ad hominem attacks pursuant to scientology policy. I will endeavor to bring some semblance of truth to the stream of lies they put forth about JB and Jackson. Scientology is wearing a trail into the carpet -- everyone is a bad person, they are all "low-level" nobodies, they all have "confessions" that "prove" they are liars, cheats and thieves and not a single person … [Read more...]

Part 2 with @sheltondesigner now available on #FairGamePodcast. We go deep into the RPF, #scientology's Thought Reform Program and the Truth Rundown "security checking" designed to gaslight a person that anything bad in #scientology is an invented lie. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/episode-36-critical-thinker-chris-shelton-part-2/

If you are a Scientology watcher or someone who wants to know more about cultic control methods, you're going to want to see this. The Truth Rundown is concentrated gaslighting and is the subject of the @MikeRinder and @LeahRemini podcast this week. https://youtu.be/x9fJkVJD0yQ

Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday. The best thing about birthdays is being reminded of all the friends I have. It’s amazing. You are amazing. And along with family, the single most important thing in life.

You learn about what they've tried to do to me on @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder's podcast.

We talked about some of it in the interview.

But I don't care...Scientology is a paper tiger.

@yashar This whole week, I’ve been wondering how many people Scientology has following you in the streets or working to hack you. I know the answer isn’t zero. I don’t recall ever thinking that about someone speaking out against the Catholic Church.
