I don't normally use my blog to simply promote other stories by scientology whistleblowers, but this morning is an exception. First, last night, Mat Pesch put up a new YouTube video with the latest news from one of his inside sources at the FLB. He has a lot of information about specific individuals, but ends with a bombshell about Miscavige's direct involvement in the "Chase Wave" and how he sent one of his personal staff who was directly involved out of the country. It is quite remarkable the level of detail Mat is getting... Then this morning, Tony … [Read more...]
Some Background on Scientology’s Efforts to Destroy Enemies
Over the last few weeks, Chris Owen (author of many insightful writings about Hubbard and scientology, including his excellent book, Ron The War Hero) has done a series of posts with Tony Ortega on Substack describing the history of the harassment campaigns carried out by scientology. As is always the case with Chris, he is a meticulous researcher and summarizes the information in a concise and accurate way. This is important information that should be as widely available as possible, so I am combining his 3 pieces into one longer article and reprinting it below. It's fascinating … [Read more...]
More PI Activity Subsidized by US Taxpayers
Once again, I am reposting what Tony Ortega reported as a follow up to his original expose from the latest scientology spy to speak out, Alanna Warren. This is some fascinating and detailed insight into activities subsidized by US taxpayers... The surveillance photo above is obviously vital evidence, they documented the fact that Christie and I shop at a supermarket near our house. Another interesting thing about the report is just how many people they DIDN'T know. No doubt they took photos of everyone and they were pored over in OSA to determine who was there -- but of course, it was no … [Read more...]
More Scientology PI Disclosures
Tony Ortega posted this on his blog yesterday, and I am republishing it here today because it is direct information about me and scientology's Fair Game campaigns and I like to have a record of things like this on my blog. See my earlier posts: The Story of a Scientology Spy and Aftermath: Further Thoughts on PI's and Tony Ortega's coverage of scientology spy Cierra Westerman. This is the piece, written by the 3rd woman to come forward who was recruited by the notorious Dwayne Powell out of the "PI School" near Orlando (and the third one he had a sexual relationship with)... … [Read more...]
Scientology Haters Gonna Hate
Haven't gotten around to this one until now. A journalist tweets about the Jerrod Carmichael joke at the Golden Globes and the 3 usual "STAAD League" bots rise up as one (they probably are literally one person in OSA Int) to scream their disgust and accuse him of bigotry. "A lady living a great private life away from the unstable" -- wonder who came up with that piece of idiocy? The people writing these tweets have never even laid eyes on Shelly Miscavige. They know absolutely NOTHING about her life. But they believe everything they are told. This statement … [Read more...]
The Incredible Shrinking World of Scientology
Quite a number of people have asked me in recent interviews whether scientology is growing. Of course, it is not. Information is deadly poison to cults and in this age of the internet, scientology is doomed. But, scientology puts out an endless stream of propaganda to make it seem like they are expanding. They claim "massive growth" and "unprecedented demand" and various other catchphrases, statements unsupported by specifics or statistics. Naturally, scientology doesn't want to make information available that would disprove their claims of constant and … [Read more...]
Where is the Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?
Hurricane Ian has devastated a huge swath of Florida, a swath that includes Flag and the "ideal" orgs in Tampa and Orlando. Where is the "Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?" There are more scientologists in Clearwater/Tampa Bay than anywhere on earth according to scientology. 14,000 of them if you take them at their word (other times they have said 12,000 or 10,000, it's probably more like 5,000 total staff and public). They even have a dedicated building along the Potemkin Village row on N. Ft Harrison in Clearwater: You know if they WERE doing something, they … [Read more...]
A Billion Years Update and Audiobook
A short clip from when I was recording the audiobook... I understand there is a problem with the audiobook in the UK and Australia. I do not understand the problem, as it had been all set to launch with the book itself and then it turns out there is some issue with distribution rights that is too complicated for me to understand. I have asked the appropriate people to see if they can step in and sort it out... For the time being, you will have to do things the old fashioned way and read the book. I went to Barnes and Noble in Manhattan to see it in a real bookstore with my own … [Read more...]
Brainwashed According to Scientology
I noticed this some time ago, but had not gotten around to doing anything with it. Another brilliant analysis from the experts at STAND: who of course know absolutely nothing, including what Hubbard had to say... He kicks his piece off with a witty description of how to "wash a brain" before prattling on about how brainwashing is a hoax: How to wash a brain: Carefully remove the brain. Gently immerse it in a bowl of lukewarm soapy water. Scrub the brain gently with a fine bristled brush. Rinse the brain. Wrap the brain in plastic wrap to prevent further … [Read more...]
A Billion Years UK & Australia Editions Update
As many of you know, there have been some difficulties with Amazon concerning the non-US edition being published by Humfrey Hunter and Silvertail Books. Sadly, the problems with A Billion Years caused all of Silvertail's titles to be removed from Amazon, which hurt other authors they publish. Through a lot of hard work and persistence, Humfrey has now resolved the issue and all his books are back up. But titles that were previously noted as "bestsellers" have been reset to "zero." Any pre-orders of A Billion Years will likely have been lost (check your Amazon account) and you will … [Read more...]
