The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks

August 1, 2020 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

I have been nosing around the STAND League site of late, just to document what they are doing and have a record of it before it all disappears in a puff of smoke when that becomes necessary for whatever reason. I came across an article from a couple of months ago, newly tweeted out, smearing my friend of many years, Mariette Lindstein. I have written about Mariette before and her enormous success as an author of fictional novels that are drawn from her experience in scientology, including working at the Gold Base in Religious Technology Center and other very senior executive … [Read more...]

Let the Fair Gaming Begin (Again)

July 26, 2020 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

It's hardly a surprise that after being conspicuously absent (other than showing up as a note-taker in court), Fast Eddie Parkin has raised his particularly ugly head again. After all, Leah Remini and I began a new podcast on the subject of Scientology Fair Game -- and the only real purpose of the STAND League and Ed Parkin is to be a propaganda outlet for scientology hate and lies. They have still not realized that the very thing they think is effectively countering the exposure of their abuses, continues to provide evidence that they do exactly what we say they do. Eddie (with 61.9K … [Read more...]

Scientology Has Bought Clearwater

October 20, 2019 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

Tracey McManus' meticulously researched article dominating the front page of this morning's Tampa Bay Times is a bombshell. I doubt many people in Clearwater realized just how complete scientology's takeover of the downtown is.   This is why I have been supporting and promoting Mark Bunker for the city council. Scientology ALWAYS Comes First Why Elect Mark Bunker? And the urgency of this is further highlighted by a passage in the article. For the non-residents of Clearwater let me give you a little background that is explained in the article. It concerns the dispute … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Holocaust Hypocrisy

February 2, 2019 By Mike Rinder 58 Comments

The OSA fake outrage website has hit a new low. While they hand out their "human rights" awards to one of the most reviled anti-semites in the US, they have the nerve to pretend they are "Standing With Jews Everywhere"... Hey OSA, this is your idea of "standing with Jews"?ย  Palling around with Tony Mohammed, Louis Farrakhan's sidekick and apologist, with the Nazi hate propaganda on his promotional posters? In fact, you gave this guy your highest award... a Freedom Medal like you gave Tom Cruise. And you feature him on your ScientologyTV propaganda channel with his own … [Read more...]

The Story of a Scientology Spy

January 8, 2018 By Mike Rinder 154 Comments

This is the story of a spy paid to infiltrate our lives written by my wife Christie.   I originally wrote down the details of this story in 2012 when it happened. Some of the information was included in the book Fair Game, by Steve Cannane, as he played a part in it. Here is the full story: If the ending seems obvious while reading it, try reading it with the frame of mind that it was not perfectly obvious while living it. Most of us go through life with friendship, love and kindness in our hearts, hoping to enjoy people, taking them first as genuine and only after they prove to … [Read more...]

Framing Whistleblowers — The Scientology Playbook

January 7, 2018 By Mike Rinder 132 Comments

The media reports that Paul Haggis is now being accused of sexual assault. He responds that scientology may be behind these claims. There is good reason to believe this is no crazy conspiracy theory. Here is why. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of scientology, took a very dim view of anyone critical of scientology. Whether politician, reporter, disillusioned former follower or his own family members, Hubbard designated them as "enemies" -- not just of scientology, but of mankind. And he laid out in detail how those enemies were to be destroyed. Hubbard decreed that anyone speaking negatively … [Read more...]

Scientology’s STAND (STAAD) Front Group

December 17, 2017 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

The mighty STAND (STAAD) League pretends to be a group of "concerned scientologists" who "stand up for religious freedom." In fact, they are an Office of Special Affairs front group consisting of selected individuals (many of them are ex-SO/staff/GO like the example below) cleared by OSA who are given direction and authorization to participate in attempts to smear those exposing scientology. The International Director of STAAD is Ed Parkin. He has been in PR OSA Int for more than 20 years. He dishes out commendations to the chosen ones (lots of good these commendations will do them … [Read more...]

1. Longtime Scientologist Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) slamming "Going Clear," gives you some insight into Scientology talking points and how people like her remain trapped in Scientology.

Cartwright has donated over 20 million dollars to Scientology.

Yes, twenty.

Yes. And wild cult advocacy and education. ๐Ÿ‘

Would it be fair to say you strongly associate me with wildlife advocacy and education?

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
