The “Warmth and Friendliness” of David Miscavige

August 24, 2022 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

This showed up yesterday. Wonder why? Almost certainly it's the result of Miscavige having a hissy fit about the imminent release of my book, A Billion Years: My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology I've seen it many times -- Miscavige screaming at his underlings that he is "being attacked" and "nobody ever does anything to protect him." (Add some expletives of course) They frantically rush off to "do something" and a pathetic press release like this results. No doubt there will be other "handlings" -- more articles on the STAAD website, more nasty tweets from … [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...]

The “Self-Evident” Truth of the Flat-Earth Society/Scientology

January 21, 2020 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

  This is a recent posting on the Patheos website -- which is really just an outlet for any content the scientology propaganda machine can generate. Some of it offers good insight into the minds of scientology. This article, by T. Riggs Eckleberry (ex-SO -- he was just Riggs back then) is another of them. It starts with a premise that is entirely false. Namely that scientology is "truth" and proceeds to build on that false assumption from there. His first sentence asserts that of course scientology is true: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. … [Read more...]

The Type That Rages Against Scientology

October 8, 2019 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

    This is the sort of stuff scientology churns out to try to smear and discredit those who expose their abuses. The author, Rodger Clark, is a "STAND Blogger". I happened to notice this article on the Patheos site, and found it was simply a reprint of the blog article on the STAND site.  The text and even the image on Patheos are identical to this propaganda from STAND.   Here is the diatribe in all it's sordid glory. I have highlighted in red some of the most egregious stuff: While working in Florida as an installer many years ago, the boss assigned me … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
