This is the ninth (and final) "vacation" post, revisiting some of the more important articles to have appeared on my blog over the years. This one seems especially appropriate given the attacks will surely ramp up seeking to discredit me as my book comes out. This subject has also been extensively addressed by both Stefani Hutchinson and Jeffrey Augustine at their blogs. The original post and comments is here. While the "church" of scientology has kindly nicknamed me "Lady Killer," the strange reason for this deserves some context. This post also serves to demonstrate the twisted … [Read more...]

This post also serves to demonstrate the twisted and false nature of the statements, videos, tweets, ads and emails that scientology is sending out to try and "dead agent" everyone involved in the Going Clear film. I am no special case -- all participants are getting the same treatment. I happen to have details and specifics concerning the things they say about me.
