It was typical Miscavige, all smiles, handshakes and positivity to try to persuade the new guys in town that he is a nice guy. Just wait until he doesn't get what he wants. Stefani Hutchinson covered the reporting on her excellent blog: Miscavige's Fresh Start: Not New, Not True For someone who has never been a scientologist, … [Read more...]

New revelations from @TroMcManus. Of course #scientology has records that document their abuses but claim they can keep them secret. The USSC disagrees, but they continue to assert it and when law enforcement doesn't press they get away with murder. When will it end?

Valeska Paris sued Scientology last month in Tampa federal court, alleging she was trafficked as a child.

Three years ago, she tried to pursue criminal charges.

Clearwater Police couldn’t get evidence from the church.

Of course he didn’t.

When you’re second in command of a borderless totalitarian state and cult of personality you can’t risk being asked about prison camps, forced abortions, conversion therapy, forced family separations, and the first in command physically abusing his workforce https://twitter.com/raminsetoodeh/status/1526945227382018051

@LeahRemini @MikeRinder Thank you for brining further awareness to the authorities of this cult! Scientology uses conversion therapy which is not illegal in Ca. I have been through plenty of it with this CULT and its abuse. Im grateful now to have my free and beautiful GAY life!
