More on the OEC

February 21, 2021 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

  This is a follow up to the earlier posting I did concerning the apparent upcoming release of the "new" OEC (The Next Big Thing -- The Miscavige OEC). The OEC volumes have not been sold in scientology orgs or from the Pubs Orgs for more than a decade. Miscavige has declared them to be squirrel. Like the Briefing Course -- and oddly, the Briefing course consists primarily of a few hundred recorded lectures by Hubbard himself. It is quite amazing to see how utterly bamboozled scientologists have been by Miscavige. He has done what most old-time scientologists thought was … [Read more...]

Scientology: Psychological Terrorism

February 3, 2021 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

  Scientology is the only organization claiming to be a religion that has it's own "intelligence"/dirty tricks branch. It is unique in that the "doctrine" of scientology (ie the written and spoke words of L. Ron Hubbard) contain directives for scientology to engage in intelligence activities, including gathering information, spying, executing operations to intimidate and ultimately destroy people and even framing them. You can read many of Hubbard's "scriptures" in my earlier post here: Dealing with Critics of Scientology: The L. Ron Hubbard Playbook Scientology engages in … [Read more...]

Does The Purification Rundown Work?

January 20, 2021 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

  I had done an some earlier posts about the Purification Rundown, including one with an article from National Geographic "Purification Rundown Debunked" and a later one that generated a lot of comments entitled The Danger of Niacin.  A commenter responded to the first article with some interesting observations and I invited him to expand on the information he provided. I had forgotten all about it and a few days ago up popped Dr. David Schnare and provided this write-up. I am always interested in MORE information about subjects, and I think this is a valuable addition to the … [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. Al Bornstein, in the Sea Org on board the Apollo with L. Ron Hubbard. 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...]

Holiday Funnies

December 24, 2020 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

A special edition of the Funnies just for the holidays. There is an apparently endless stream of "Holiday" promotion -- though scientology of course does not recognize Jesus as anything but part of the "R6 bank."   Virtual Freewinds Wouldn't you like to be at the Freewinds for the holidays? So, to entice you to go there, they are holding a virtual concert in Los Angeles? WTF?   Virtual Hawaii And the point of this? Strictly a fundraiser obviously. What does Bodhi Elfman have to do with Christmas? Or Hawaii? Or anything at all?   Well, they are going to … [Read more...]

Episode 21: Listener Questions Part 3

December 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

Today's episode is Leah and I responding to questions from listeners.   We cover a lot of things in more detail than we had time to do on The Aftermath, and in many cases even more details than I can find the time to write about on the blog. A few documents we mentioned would be made available here and at fairgamepodcast.com.   Scientology's COVID response: Tony Ortega has extensively covered scientology's response to the pandemic. Here is the Miscavige's briefing document where he calls COVID 19 a "planetary bullbait."     Here are … [Read more...]

The “Glory” of Scientology’s Dead “Enemies”

December 21, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

A couple of days ago, Tony Ortega posted a lengthy "success story" from a woman who had recently completed "Super Power." Of course, it was over-the-top bizarre, but one paragraph stood out: While on the rundown two major SPs (2.5 percent) connected to my dynamics received their bitter end. One died in an unexpected way, and the other got put in a psychiatric hospital by his best friend. This filled me with the glory of justice. I doubt there is a more clear-cut example of the callous disregard for human life into which scientologists are inculcated than this. Many former scientologists, … [Read more...]

Close Down Scientology TV — L. Ron Hubbard Says So

November 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

This is an email sent around to scientologists recently by one of the bubble zealots. The words of LRH are sacred. I don’t think they even read them before they pass them on half the time. They know they will look smart and get agreement if they quote LRH. So they send out anything and everything. And include the exact source reference -- something from the 50's is valid today simply because it's "important data by LRH." Everything LRH ever said is "important data." Now, the truth of what he says about being bombarded by “heavy particles,” by even a cathode ray tube TV is debatable. I am … [Read more...]

Clearing The Planet

November 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 77 Comments

It's a catchphrase in scientology. "We are clearing the planet." "We are making planetary clearing a reality." There are a dozen different variations. It's a time-honored hot button that is used to get people to hand over money and "progress up the Bridge." One of our readers sent this new promo piece to me recently, with some comments that made me think we should address this topic again. In part, this is what the contributor said: When I looked at this promo piece, it reminded me of the jarring, shocking and unpleasant experience of finally, after clawing my way up into the … [Read more...]

Golden Era Brings Back the Running Program….

November 18, 2020 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

  I have written a few pieces here about the Running Program -- now titled "Cause Resurgence Rundown" in order to sell it to people as an "OT miracle rundown." It literally consists of running around in a circle to the point of exhaustion and then running some more. That is ALL it is. The Running Program What IS "Cause Resurgence?" Running in Circles Again The "Running Program" began as a means to "crack" David Mayo. Hubbard sent down orders that Mayo (who was in trouble based on reports Miscavige had sent about him) was to "run around a tree until he dropped, get up and run … [Read more...]
