Narconon Ojai Failing

December 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 18 Comments

  A few things to unpack here. First, their "accomplishments" are that they "remained open." Typically, an organization like this would be touting inflated numbers of "lives saved from drugs" -- clearly, they had virtually none. Instead, they announce the "success" of their podcast? 194 episodes for 250,000 downloads over 3 years? This is impressive? I think not. Now that I know something about the podcast world, this is virtually nothing. Fair Game podcast exceeded those download numbers the first week on the air. But, let's not stop there.

Episode 21: Listener Questions Part 3

December 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

Here is the Miscavige's briefing document where he calls COVID 19 a "planetary bullbait."     Here are … [Read more...]

Schmoozing And Losing

April 30, 2018 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

  That's Pat Clouden, scientology whale and Lynn Posyton, Clearwater scientology whale remora with Pam Bondi. Ms. Bondi has been a favorite in scientology circles, with several of her forays into the bubble documented on Tony Ortega's blog.   And look who else was in attendance, schmoozing with Lynn Posyton. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri.   It's not that this was a "scientology event" -- the Drug Free America Foundation is not controled by scientology, but scientologists have made a concerted effort to infiltrate this group. Elected officials … [Read more...]

(3/4) For too long, the Church of Scientology and its leaders have sought to coverup sexual assault and abuse and then attempt to intimidate survivors into silence.
