January 31, 2022 By Mike Rinder 22 Comments

We welcome back our old friend Marc Headley to talk about Scientology and the internet, including covering the bonkers domain names scientology has registered, and how they have unsuccessfully attempted to control access to information on the World Wide Web.   Marc's wonderful book: Blown For Good The Audiobook version   The Scientology Money Project blog article listing many of the scientology owned domains:   A YouTube video listing some of the troll domains registered by scientology:   The Jokers & Degraders PL/HCOB: … [Read more...]

Dirty Cops and PI’s

October 30, 2021 By Mike Rinder 21 Comments

There are a few blogs I always check -- Tony Ortega's Underground Bunker the best source for breaking news on scientology, Jeffrey Augustine's Scientology Money Project for the latest updates on scientology criminality, Stefani Hutchinson's incisive take on all things in the weird and hypocritical world of scientology Confront and Shatter , and now there is another to add to my list Dirty Cops and PI's. This new  blog is the work of the always thorough Jeffrey Augustine, who has done some pretty incredible research into subjects related to scientology and especially the criminal activities … [Read more...]

Episode 51: The Bridge Deep Dive Part 2 with Bruce Hines

July 26, 2021 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

We continue breaking down the Bridge to total Freedom towards the level of Clear with Bruce Hines. It's the stairway to heaven with turnstiles at every step. The State of Clear -- halfway up the Bridge   What is the E-Meter?    Leah mentions her therapist's write-up on the E-Meter and she quotes from a small part of it. Here it is in full: The science is pretty precise and involved (i.e., the science that it sounds like Scientology and the e-meter capitalizes on and distorts for the purposes of Scientology), but here’s the basic scenario:  It … [Read more...]

Episode 43: Investigator and Whistleblower Jeffrey Augustine

May 31, 2021 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

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...]

Episode 8: Fair Gaming Scientology President’s ex-Wife

September 14, 2020 By Mike Rinder 65 Comments

This week Leah and I interview Karen De la Carriere, the former wife of scientology's disappeared President, Heber Jentzsch.   Karen was the highest level scientology "technical person" -- a Class XII Case Supervisor. There have been less than 50 Class XII C/Ses in the history of scientology. Perhaps no more than 10 who trained directly under L. Ron Hubbard like Karen. Karen and Heber had a child together, Alexander, who was born into the Sea Org. He was raised with my children.     Karen is one of the most harrowing stories of ongoing Fair Game. Of … [Read more...]
