A & E needs to do some reruns of AFTERMATH SERIES……and THEN make MORE NEW & UPDATED AFTERMATH SERIES.
Podcast very enlightening ………the public needs to see MORE on screen commentary & information….the Aftermath hasn’t been on TV in awhile & it’s beginning to fade….DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN….
I am going to email A & E & ASK them to rerun Aftermath Series.
A Scientologist prefers to do his auditing with the “Indies” movement, and you want to declare him “Fair Game” ????. Sorry my friend, but with the internet, there are consequences to you and your cult. I have a mailing list of 2.5 million people who bi-monthly get all the bad news about SCN. There is nothing you can do to me that tops that. Even CNN doesn’t have that kind of reach.
What is Scientology trying to protect ???
1. It’s PR.
(Which has already been destroyed by the Tampa Bay Truth Rundown, the Aftermath and tons of ex-Scientologists writing books, never mind numerous TV broadcasts.)
2. It’s confidential materials.
(ALL of those have been broadly released to the public in 100% pure LRH issued format (No “golden-ization” of any sort.)
3. It’s income/membership base.
(Sorry, but that is also in progress of being destroyed in that that we have weened almost 10,000 SCN members out of the CO$ over a span of 9 years. Anyone found shilling for the CO$ on the internet is in for a vicious beatdown.)
As anyone can see, Hubbard is in no position to threaten anyone … never mind to even any score.
Sorry Formost, I don’t mean to be “that guy” but if you’re typing the possessive of “It” it’s actually “Its”.
“It’s” is a contraction for “It is” and never used in the possessive.
I don’t disagree with your point, but I hate for people to be able to dismiss otherwise valid and legitimate arguments over simple errors, so I just wanted to let you know.
Edit: Wow, that’s incredibly confusing with all the quotes and repetition.
tl;dr It’s=It is / Its=possessive, something “It” has.
Regarding “Fair Game”: A function of language is to serve as the operating system of human thought. But the function of Newspeak is to prevent correct identification of the facts of reality. Thus blood soaked tyrants are called liberators and actual liberators are called oppressors. Since clarity of thought, which is the correct identification of the facts of reality, is necessary for humans to survive and prosper a language form that obscures facts and disconnects thought from reality has the effect of being toxic to human life. Each subsequent revision of Newspeak, with its increasing disconnection from reality, is increasingly toxic to human life. An ultimate version of Newspeak in which any thought is impossible would be completely lethal.
with Tom Cruise where he rants about the benefits of Scientology. He
claims only Scientologists can help victims of car accidents, that only Scientologists can rehabilitate criminals, unite cultures and bring world peace.
Excerpt :
When Mike Rinder left Scientology
after twenty five years of membership, he was labeled an SP. The same
goes for many people who leave the church. Members within the church are
not allowed to have any contact with SPs, which means that Mike
Rinder’s escape from the iron grasp of Scientology has made him unable to have contact with his two adult children.
Rinder cohosts the A&E show Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, in which he recounts instances of the church stalking him. They:
had cameras installed inside his bird feeder
paid sanitation workers for his garbage
made fictitious claims about him beating his wife
started wide-scale smear campaigns about his mental health, and hired a private investigator to hack into his emails.
Rinder was at a doctor’s appointment when he was ambushed by a group of Scientology operatives, one of which was his ex-wife.
These
types of bizarre behavior are happening all over the country, and it’s
painful to see actors we hold in high regard choosing to actively or
passively support the church.
It’s equally maddening to witness the silence of others in the industry who are not speaking out against this.
That video was heads and shoulders above the others you have produced. It was extremely professional. The sound effects were particularly excellent. It sounds like some profesional media company created those. Well done!
O/T. Mirit Hendrickson, Vice President of Scientology United for Human Rights Florida, posts Islamophobic photo that falsely claims to depict Muslim man and child bride.
Mike,
Top notch video. It is a reminder that Scientology is still at it, with millions at their disposal to try to crush anyone who tells the truth about this fraudulent, destructive and mind altering scam. They will stop at nothing to destroy their alleged enemy’s. Rock on Mike and Leah. 🎸🎤
Hello Geoff. I think you have a great way with words. I really enjoyed your calling them, ” this fraudulent, destructive and mind altering scam.”
You managed to encapsulate their key attributes in just a few words. Many people – including myself – have an unfortunate tendency to speak at length and never manage to come to the point – or else the point remains obscured. It takes a real talent to come to the point in just a few words. If you are not currently involved in writing for a living, I would think you might well consider that. You have a great talent for that. Just my opinion of course.
Just consider how much I have rambled around when you got right to the point. I should think that Mike and others could really make use of your talent to help them write their podcasts, etc.
Very nice video. My only comment is that I cannot anymore read that fast. Missed many of the headlines.
But my main comment is:
HOW STUPID CAN SCIENTOLOGY GET???
It is very obvious that Scientology is FASCISM. Hubbard in 1980 claimed that all Christians should be eliminated from planet earth. He also claimed he was the past Buddha, the present Buddha and the future Buddha and Scientology was part of Original Buddhism. So the Buddha was a fascist, he claimed. How Stupid can Scientology get??

Old Surfer Dude says
Four score and 7 years ago. I don’t know the rest.
Balletlady says
“A score is equal to TWENTY YEARS”…plus the 7 years…so that would be a total of 87 years. …..
87 Years…..Also known as ‘OLD AS DIRT”…….hmmmm….O A D……OSD….are you related?
Karen de la Carriere says
Very nice Expose on IRS and tax exemption thuggery.
Skyler says
How stupid can they get? Here’s a pretty good example from this video.
Don’t call it murder. Instead, call it suicide.
The creep actually belileved he could get away with murder just by calling it a different name.
Skyler says
That video was heads and shoulders above the others you have produced. It was extremely professional. The sound effects were particularly excellent. It sounds like some profesional media company created those. Well done!
Claudio Lugli says
Beautiful strong meaningful and true
Only someone with a strong purpose to really help would go through what you and Leah went through
Thanks
Enturbulation Nation says
Superb! Great work.
Free Minds, Free Hearts says
That is a great video!
Mat Pesch says
Excellent! The whole world needs to understand Scientology and its abusive behavior.
Skyler says
Well said, Mat! Actually, Excellently said!
I sure do wish the entire world thought like you do. It would make our struggle so much easier.

Terrific video Mike, but, apart from getting interesting folk to call into my home, I’ve got no way of spreading it around all my emailing contacts.
