Stories About Ron — the Back Story

May 21, 2022 By Mike Rinder 19 Comments

A few days ago I did a posting about the fact that Wick Allcock was telling stories about Hubbard in Melbourne: Personal Stories About Ron -- Sort Of   When I did the post, I was reminded by my old friend Karen De La Carriere about an earlier post at Tony Ortega's blog written by Rod Keller Sailing with L. Ron Hubbard In that post, Rod recounted some of the history of Wick, prompted by another promotional piece where he was riffing on Ron in Tampa. I wonder what he said about the "research" for NED for OT's? That Hubbard suffered another heart attack and David Mayo was … [Read more...]

Episode 71: Listener Questions #10

January 3, 2022 By Mike Rinder 24 Comments

We start 2022 with one of our favorites -- a Listener Question episode. As always, we cover a wide scope of topics, from Fair Game campaign tactics to preserving Hubbard's "legacy" on stainless steel plates in titanium capsules in nuclear-bomb-proof vaults and the embarrassing "We Stand Tall" song... It's a lot of fun and hopefully includes new information for our listeners. Here are some of the things we mentioned: The activities of Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) to preserve the tech. Scientology is so proud of this, and treat it with such earnestness they have a fully … [Read more...]

Episode 52: The Bridge Deep Dive Part 3 with Vicki Marshall

August 2, 2021 By Mike Rinder 44 Comments

This week we are joined by Leah's mother, Vicki, to discuss the OT levels. Vicki achieved the very pinnacle of scientology auditing, doing OT VIII on the scientology cruise ship Freewinds. We talk about the earlier OT levels and our experiences on them and then Vicki's recollections of OT VIII. Suffice to say, it was underwhelming. This is the Freewinds, the only place you can do OT VIII - her usual location is tied up at a dock in Curacao or Aruba. For the last year or more it has been Aruba: Here is some background information from an earlier post: The Real Story of the … [Read more...]

Scientology Deaths and Suicides

July 27, 2020 By Mike Rinder 100 Comments

People are asking for our thoughts regarding recent tragic events. We can only offer facts about scientology teachings and our opinions on them -- we don’t have firsthand information concerning the details of Kelly Preston or Benjamin Keough’s deaths, though, when it comes to scientology and scientologists, there are other factors that come into play - factors that are contained in the “scripture” of scientology that give a particularly dark tint to these terribly sad events. The heartbreakingly unfortunate truth is people commit suicide every single day, and people die of breast cancer … [Read more...]

This is the country that never ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which is shameful.

The time has come for elected officials to pass legislation to actually protect our children from senseless gun violence. All of us failed them by letting politics and lobbyist dollars take precedence over safety.

CHILD USA mourns the loss of 19 children and two of their teachers. It is time for all of us to unite so this never happens again. We stand for laws that protect children's safety from violence including common sense gun reform.
