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’s Scheme to Use Rape Victims for “Positive Press”
More scientology sickness hiding in plain sight. This is one of Hubbard's most important edicts on dealing with the media. It lays out scientology's policy on how to "control the press." It is the first policy in the "hat pack" of every scientology PR person. This is not "historical" or "we cancelled that" (like they claim about the Fair Game policy). They proudly stand behind this and even more proudly follow exactly what it says in their day to day actions. If you want to read the whole thing, you can do so here: Scientology Five Press Policies I … [Read more...]
The Black Bag Department
Reposting earlier posts during my vacation. I may do a YouTube piece about this, as it fits with the general theme of scientology Fair Game and disdain for the law... I just wasn't able to get one put together before I left. Marty has been doing a good job of exposing the unalterable policies of the church concerning dealing with perceived enemies. One aspect not much discussed is who are the "outside professionals" hired to do the dirty work. And while there is a lot that is done by Sea Org OSA staff, Class V (local DSAs like Mark Warburg and John Carmichael) and public … [Read more...]
Mike Rinder: “Lady Killer”
This is a republication of an earlier post. While the "church" of scientology has kindly nicknamed me "Lady Killer," the strange reason for this deserves some context. (This subject has also been extensively addressed by both Stefani Hutchinson and Jeffrey Augustine at their blogs. The original post and comments are here.) This post also serves to demonstrate the twisted and false nature of the statements, videos, tweets, ads and emails that scientology is sending out to try and "dead agent" everyone involved in the Going Clear film. I am no special case -- all participants are … [Read more...]
Dealing with Critics of Scientology – The L. Ron Hubbard Playbook
If you read this blog, you are likely aware of Leah Remini's upcoming A&E show. I have had the pleasure of working with Leah on this show as a consultant and participant, a cause of great distress for the church. So I thought I might weigh in with some information I feel is pertinent to events now and into the future. As a reader here you are likely also aware of the "church" reaction to the announcement of the show and the first trailer being released - the usual name-calling, smearing and foot stomping that does not RESPOND in any fashion to the abuses being exposed. There is much … [Read more...]
Signs of Success
To quote the famous philosopher, humanitarian, religious leader, nuclear physicist, author, horticulturist, sea captain, glider pilot, explorer, adventurer and musician, L. Ron Hubbard from his HCOB 1 May 1958 SIGNS OF SUCCESS: Whenever we’re really winning the squirrels start to scream. You can tell if somebody is a squirrel. They howl or make trouble only when we’re winning. Spectacular success can quadruple the number of complaints. Recently there has been an uptick in the number of complaints registered in the comments section of my blog. I must be doing something rig … [Read more...]
The Big Lie: “They Incited Murder”
Yesterday, Tony Ortega reported the news out of Australia concerning the perpetrator of the tragic murder at the Advanced Organization in Sydney. Stefani Hutchinson weighed in with her always cogent and fact driven take on things like this, I recommend reading her blog on the subject. While there is much to be said about what happened, the tragic circumstances, the scientology refusal to acknowledge real mental illness and other things, there is a singular point I want to make. Scientology seized on this tragedy to make baseless and … [Read more...]
Scientology Facebook Police
As you can see below, the Scientology Facebook Police are still out in force. I wonder if these people get up on the morning and put brown shirts and jodhpurs, pin on their official collar insignia and report for duty with the click of their heels? Remember yesterday's post about freedom of religion and free speech? Yeah, that's what they SAY in public. This is what they do in reality: If you are not part of "standard" scientology where they can take your money, you are to be treated as vermin and ostracized. "The ONLY groups, the only members we … [Read more...]
Scientology is Intimidated by Tony Ortega
It would seem the Office of Special Affairs has been weathering a shitstorm from the COB recently: "What are you useless cocksuckers doing about Tony Ortega, he gets a bigger audience than I do and I am paying millions for ads, click-farms and even a 24 hour a day TV network." He also kicked their butts in the Masterson case subpoena and has been disseminating the activities in that courtroom far and wide and they are not going well for for Masterson or scientology. And there is no sign he is slowing down or going away any time soon... In response, OSA rolled out a new "campaign" -- a … [Read more...]
