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...]

How Scientology Covers Up Crimes
A new YouTube video is up -- Leah & I expose the lie that scientology says there is no policy preventing a scientologist from reporting crimes to law enforcement. We show the documents and discuss how scientologists are taught to behave when a scientologist commits a crime that could have blowback on the organization. It's all in black and whn I mentioned in the video that I would include the full policies that we read excerpts from. Here they are: List of High Crimes from Intro to Scientology Ethics Joburg Confessional HCO Manual of Justice … [Read more...]
Scientology Attacks The Aftermath Foundation
No surprise, scientology does not like The Aftermath Foundation. Also no surprise, their OSA minions are actively trying to shut us down. This is just more Fair Game -- attacking "enemies" as they are required to do. Some background: We learned last year that the Charleston Principles govern non-profit and charitable organizations in relation to state registration requirements, factoring in online fundraising elements that did not previously exist. Under these principles, a non-profit organization is required to register with a given state if they 1. Receive in excess of $25,000 in … [Read more...]

Leah & Mike on CNN
Leah and I were interviewed by Jake Tapper Friday evening. You can watch the segment here. Unfortunately, breaking news cut us a little short, but Jake gave us an opportunity to cover plenty of ground. We really appreciate him reaching out to us and the fact that he had gotten himself familiar with the facts in the case. As he says, this is an under reported topic -- we hope he will do more. And that other national media will follow his lead. … [Read more...]

Andy Porter on Leaving Scientology Staff
My old friend, Andy Porter -- maestro photographer and contributor to this blog over the years, -- popped up with something new, inspired by a headline in the National Enquirer! I am sure you will find it interesting. Leaving Scientology Staff September 4, 2023 The problem with relaying any narrative about working on staff for the Church of Scientology is that ALL of it is so absurdly insanely crazy, you don’t know where to start. I was the Executive Director of the Church of Scientology of Washington State, in Seattle (AKA: The Seattle Org) in the early 1990’s… Here … [Read more...]
