The Big Lie: “They Incited Murder”

November 24, 2021 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

  Yesterday, Tony Ortega reported the news out of Australia concerning the perpetrator of the tragic murder at the Advanced Organization in Sydney.   Stefani Hutchinson weighed in with her always cogent and fact driven take on things like this, I recommend reading her blog on the subject.     While there is much to be said about what happened, the tragic circumstances, the scientology refusal to acknowledge real mental illness and other things, there is a singular point I want to make. Scientology seized on this tragedy to make baseless and … [Read more...]

Scientology Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds

April 27, 2019 By Mike Rinder 88 Comments

Scientology is shameless. And here is the latest proof.  A new article in "Freedom" magazine they are pushing on Twitter. More evidence they do EXACTLY what they accuse others of doing, without the slightest embarrassment. This is sociopathic behavior. Freedom attacks the President of A&E Studios because scientology has been unable to arrange a meeting with him. "the Church’s attempts to seek a meeting with A&E since March of that year, met with not so much as an answer nor was there a means of having “a meaningful conversation..."" Funny -- we have TRIED for 3 years to get … [Read more...]

The “Mike Rinder Problem”

January 5, 2019 By Mike Rinder 158 Comments

  Scientology has come up with a new attack line -- the "Mike Rinder Problem." It is quite an honor to be singled out so specifically, especially as I am according to them merely a "bobblehead" (though a "wife-beating" one so that is apparently a bigger deal). They shifted their attacks from Nancy Dubuc to Paul Buccieri in a deft strategic move. Their clever PR maneuvers are a sight to behold. According to scientology, the "Mike Rinder Problem" is this: "Like the classic wife beater that he is, Rinder digs in his heels and refuses to admit he injured his former wife Cathy during an … [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?

Tracey McManus@TroMcManus

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

Tom Cruise took a selfie with a fan after his #Cannes2022 talk. But he didn’t take any questions from the audience:

@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!
