Scientology Fair Game Podcast All Episodes

September 6, 2021 By Mike Rinder 12 Comments

There is no new podcast this week due to the Labor Day holiday. I thought it worth listing all the diverse list of podcast guests and topics we have done so far. There are more to come. If there are any episodes you have missed, you can find them here with links and give them a listen. It's been quite a ride. It continues. We appreciate all the support of our faithful listeners and those who have sent in questions for the popular "Listener Question" episodes. You can also find all the episodes and the supporting documents for each at fairgamepodcast.com which also includes a … [Read more...]

Episode 6: The Leader’s Father is Fair Gamed

September 1, 2020 By Mike Rinder 25 Comments

  Leah and I talk with our old friend Ron Miscavige, father of scientology leader David Miscavige. We discuss how he has been Fair Gamed by $10,000 a week Private Investigators, disconnected from his family and his daughter-in-law Shelly. We also talk about the involvement of Lisa Marie Presley in Ron's journey, how she was abused by Ron's daughters at the behest of David, which resulted in her walking out of scientology. We talk about other celebrities in scientology and what Ron hopes will happen in the future. We discussed a few things, here are the links. This is … [Read more...]

George White

January 4, 2020 By Mike Rinder 86 Comments

Frequent commenter here George White sent me this photo of some of the original OT VIII's on the Freewinds in 1988. I don['t recognize many, and George doesn't recall anything other than the first names of some of them. Milt Wolfe is in the center -- he was the CO Flag Ship Service Org, though it was not an assignment that lasted long. I think that is Jane Allen in the back row. She is an IAS Freedom Medal winner who vanished from the scene after contracting cancer. Debbie Mace is standing to the left of Milt, co-founder of the infamous Mace-Kingsley enterprise, also an IAS Freedom Medal … [Read more...]

Ron Miscavige and Robert Almblad Life After Scientology Podcast

December 10, 2018 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

  Robert, who was featured on last week's episode of The Aftermath, joined Ron Miscavige for his podcast on Sunday. Give it a listen. You will hear stories about his early years on the Apollo, his interactions with Diana Hubbard and David Miscavige that are pretty astonishing. Things we could not focus on in the limited time we had on the show. It is not what you might be expecting! Robert, Ron and Dave Richards have been close friends for many years. Dave unfortunately passed away a few months ago. I have known Ron since our families met at St Hill in the early 70's, and I met Dave … [Read more...]

Ron Miscavige – Dave’s Worst Nightmare

July 13, 2016 By Mike Rinder 149 Comments

I have not previously witnessed such a concerted online "dead agent" campaign as the one the church is waging against Ron Miscavige. Not since the days of the Squirrel Busters camped outside the home of Marty and Monique Rathbun for months on end has there been anything like this. And it is indicative of just how concerned Miscavige is about the damage his father continues to inflict. The minions that put these campaigns together are only going over the top because this is "command intention" (ie what COB has ordered). They don't act against COB's dad without explicit orders, believe … [Read more...]

Ruthless/SuMP

May 1, 2016 By Mike Rinder 150 Comments

Been a few interesting days leading up to Miscavige's birthday bash. Though they apparently sent out decoy messages that the event was canceled (maybe it was and then changed to being back on again which would not be unusual) it seems this was the "gift of expansion" that Dave wanted for his birthday. So he went ahead and yanked his ribbon to commemorate the occasion. Apparently there were dozens of security people surrounding the place yesterday as the faithful awaited the arrival of the Grand Ribbon Yanker.  The stage was built and the anticipation was high. I don't have confirmation of … [Read more...]

Dave the Octopus

April 26, 2016 By Mike Rinder 167 Comments

This is an excerpt of the vacuous legal threat letter sent to the UK publisher of Ron Miscavige's book, Ruthless. Tony Ortega published the letter on his blog today. It also mentions letters sent to the US publishers (which have not yet been made public). No doubt the assault from high-paid lawyers aimed at the US publishers has been even more concerted than this limp Johnsons effort. Hopefully those letters, and the ones inevitably sent to ABC, will all be made available at some point to document once again the emptiness of their threats. But two particular sentences caught my eye among … [Read more...]

Miscavige Stalker Sites – “Ruthless” Response

April 25, 2016 By Mike Rinder 183 Comments

Everyone who reads this is probably familiar with the scientology tactic of buying domain names anonymously and using them as "Dead Agent" sites on those who are critical of scientology or David Miscavige. There are plenty of these sites that already exist -- many in the category of "WhoIs[Fill in name].org.com.info.net.biz" etc The idea is to create sites with shit on people they don't like at addresses where they might trick unsuspecting web surfers into thinking they had stumbled across real information about the person (until they take one look at the over-the-top hate speech that … [Read more...]

The pressure is mounting on #scientology. The day is coming where they will be held accountable for their reckless disregard for human rights and the law. They’ve gotten away with hiding behind the shield of “religion” for way too long. #JusticeforDave https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-scientologists-came-forward-with-shocking-trafficking-claims-now-they-say-theyre-being-stalked

Another carefully researched obliteration of #scientologylies about @LeahRemini — L. Ron Hubbard dictates their insane behavior so they have no choice. Details of why they continue such easily disproven bs is in article on my blog https://www.mikerindersblog.org/28-why-do-scientologists-lie/
