NY Org Sprung a Massive Leak

December 19, 2021 By Mike Rinder 103 Comments

  Some pretty devastating information from NY Org has found its way to me. These are stat graphs of NY Day and Fdn for this year. This is the big kahuna model ideal org on the East Coast -- right off Times Square, it is in the ideal location for a Class V org, its one of the oldest orgs on earth, and was the 5th ideal org to ever open, way back in 2004. As Miscavige said numerous times, the "ideal org" strategy was the stepping stone that would make it possible for all orgs to make it to the size of Old St Hill. That is the "make-break" point of a scientology organization … [Read more...]

Episode 43: Investigator and Whistleblower Jeffrey Augustine

Jeffrey Augustine

This week we have the pleasure of speaking with whistleblower, investigator, researcher and friend Jeffrey Augustine. Jeff does great work tracking and exposing scientology, especially in the realm of financial crimes. This episode contains a rundown of scientologist criminals and their legal troubles and the juxtaposition with the public claims of scientology being the most ethical group on earth. Jeffrey has a website where he documents his investigations, it is an incredible resource: The Scientology Money Project   He also does the  Surviving Scientology Radio … [Read more...]

The “Game” — Hand Over Your Stimulus Check to Pay Our Staff

January 13, 2021 By Mike Rinder 48 Comments

Not only did scientology New York get $184,000 from the Coronavirus slush fund to "pay" their "staff" even they claim to OTHER government agencies that they don't have any employees, only "volunteers" in order to skirt labor laws, they are now also telling their people to turn over their stimulus checks because it's an "extended Holiday Bonus" for the staff. This "holiday bonus" is a joke -- I don't mean for the staff, it is VERY important, as it might be the one time in a whole year that they get more than $50 a week. It's a joke because of the AMOUNT of the income that is allocated to … [Read more...]

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. They put out 16 "stellar, informative" … [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!
