Alex Barnes-Ross has become scientology's Public Enemy #1 in the UK. He is doing incredible work to expose scientology's abuses and is now to bringing the appropriate agencies into play to do something about it. This is the latest article on his Scientology Business website that I am reprinting below in full. If you are not subscribed to his website, please do so here. It contains updates and news of things that are occurring that have real significance. No fluff. No sensationalism. Real action.

I Think He Might Be Serious!
I think this is a serious post on Facebook, but I am not 100% certain. The reason I think Iann Jones is serious is Scientologists are not known for their sense of humor, but are known for latching onto even the most insane thoughts if it forwards the “greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics.” (See some earlier posts: Conspiracy Theories, A Scientologist Conspiracy Theory, STAAD Scientology Conspiracy Theories) Obviously, this is not a real photo, it's AI generated. But Mr. Jones makes no note of that while spreading it on social media. We know many scientologists got thems … [Read more...]
Conspiracy Theories
Scientologists are very susceptible to conspiracy theories. It doesn’t matter much WHAT it is, many Scientologists readily buy into amu idea that there are a group of evil people determined to enslave/destroy/poison/control people. Here we have, according to Brian Gardner, “the most evil individuals of our time” (scientists?) trying to foist off the big lie… Brian is a hardcore scientologist -- you only need know he was the "PR" for SFO Org and read his last sentence to dispel any possible doubts about that. Why is this willingness to latch on to these theories so prevalent in sciento … [Read more...]
Idaho — Scientology Free
This is the best they can do? A pixilated image of something they claim is Idaho, above some printing offering a scholarship to ASHO? And this is for "our Mission Expansion." According to FB, Jacqui lives in Sherman Oaks? I wonder if Idaho ranks so highly in the Desirable States stakes because there is one of the Scientology clear states? Meaning there is no Scientology outpost after 70 years of “unprecedented expansion”? There are plenty of other states on that list with no orgs, some may have tiny missions open a couple of hours a week: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Ind … [Read more...]
The Massive International Co-audit
If you listen to David Miscavige, the expansion of scientology is "unprecedented," "monumental" and apparently knows no bounds. If you visit a scientology organization anywhere on earth you will see with your own eyes the empty buildings that show scientology is smaller and less popular than it has EVER been. If you watch the scientology utterances on social media and sent to their mailing lists, you get to see not just individual orgs, but a glimpse of the bigger picture. And that is what this latest document represents. This is a worldwide aggregation of people on co-audits now, … [Read more...]
Brothers Broken New York Premiere
This is a reprint of the article Tony Ortega published yesterday in order to get the word out as broadly as possible. If you are in the NY area, would love to see you at the premiere. [Today’s guest post is by Geoff Levin] What would you do if every day you woke up to a nightmare? Mine was being trapped in a cult for 46 years. In 2019 my brother Robbie Levin and I started producing the full length documentary Brothers Broken about our years in music and Scientology. The film debuts with its east coast premiere in the prestigious Dances With Films festival that celebrates ind … [Read more...]
Scientology: The Big Lie
Mitch Brisker, former film, video and ad director for David Miscavige has written a book which is available today. I highly recommend it. I summed up my thoughts about it in a blurb I wrote for the book cover: The improbable, yet astonishingly real story of a young artist drawn into a cult at a moment of vulnerability who, as an “outsider” is brought into its highly secretive, innermost sanctum. Mitch Brisker’s perspective is unique, powerful and insightful. His eye for detail and meaning, and his ability to explain and communicate concepts to an audience as a talented filmm … [Read more...]
Leah & Mike Talk to Rosemary
After the earlier interviews Claire and I did with Mike Brown, his mother, Rosemary reached out and asked to talk to Leah and me. Hearing her experiences first-hand adds to the outrage of these abuses. Here is a copy of Rosemary's letter to David Miscavige Miscavige & Tom Cruise … [Read more...]

Peter provided us with a first look at his latest reporting on the subject, which he kindly translated into for us.

The Most Precious Lessons I Learned Being A Scientologist
Our old friend Brian Lambert reached out to me with a new guest post. As always, he has an insightful take on things. THE MOST PRECIOUS LESSONS I LEARNED BEING A SCIENTOLOGIST My 11 year Scientology experience has yielded essential survival lessons. These lessons are so valuable, in my view, that countless times I’ve communicated to my wife (a never in) how grateful I am for my experience in the Scientology mind prison . When I’ve dissected with great focus and unrelenting self inquiry what were key psychological elements of personal damage skillfully implanted into my mind, I … [Read more...]
