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.
Dress For Success says
Hello Mike,
I have posted several comments to your blog in the past concerning the way you dress when you appear on public – both on TV as well as in print media.
I have been perplexed at the number of people who seem to react as if I am somehow attacking you and that is just such a shame.
I watched several episodes of your “Aftermath” TV show with Leah Remini and I really support your work and ferverently wish that your work would be greatly appreciated and would hasten the demise of this miserable criminal cult.
The point that I have made several times is that if only you would invest a small amount of time and money into your wardrobe, the result would be much better than it currently has been.
Please allow me to recommend one book. It is widely available in paperback and you can buy it for just a few dollars or borrow it from most public libraries. It is titled, “Dress For Success” and was written by John T. Molloy.” This book is very straightforward and is easy to follow. One reading will make a huge difference in your appearance and that difference will make a huge difference in the way people see you and the way they think of you.
Man people think it’s just silly to expect the way you dress will have much to do with the way you are perceived. But, the truth is that your appearance will make a huge difference in the way people perceive the message you project. It does not cost a fortune to follow some of the simple guideline put forward by Mr. Molly and the result will make a huge difference in the way people perceive you.
This criminal cult is growing close to the end and if the people who appear on TV or in the printed media would take some time to follow some simple guidelines, the difference will result in a huge difference in the way people perceive you.
Please try to accept the fact that I only wish you the very best and I only hope to see your message carry through to all the people who see you on TV or read your message. My only purpose in writing this post is to help you put an end to the suffering this crazy cult causes so many people and I sincerely hope that you will consider picking up a copy of his book or borrowing it from a library.
The result will be a huge difference in the way people will treat you and treat your message.
With any good luck, the result will be the end of this terrible cult. The sooner the better.
In closing, please believeve me that I wish only the best for you and Leah and hope your work is able to put an end to this miserable cult just as soon as humanly possible.
I would also ask anyone who has read this book to comment on the effects of dressing on the way that public speakers are perceived owing to the way they dress and otherwise appear.

You need help. Your post is completely out of order. I think you should stop posting like this. No one else cares about this but you.

I hope nothing is ever done to “re-vitalize” Scientology. It was started on a lie and continues to exist on an underpinning of lies. It’s basic strategy is to lie – to each other to one self, to the public, to law enfoecement, to judges, and worst of all to lie under oath and penalty of perjury without compunction.
The initial trainings are designed to enforce blind complaiance with any and all commands from Hubbard or his substitute. There is no ‘there’ there, or anywhere in Scientology. The whole purpose of Scientology is and was to generate loads of income, first for Hubbard, now for Miscavige. They used Hubbard’s Fair Game (unfair game) procedures to wear down the IRS both as a group and as individual agents just to get their undeserved tax exemption, promisig to do the one thing they have never done – act like a church, i.e. use the tax break funds to provide services to the poor and needy so as to take some of the financial burden off the federal government.
Scientology continues to traffic people from overseas, taking advantage of their fear of deportation to get them to work long hours for too little pay.
Despite their protestations, Hubbard’s scripture still stands that demands no Scientologist report directly to law enforcement or sue another member without first obtaining permission from the IJC, which never happens, instead they are referred back to Hubbard’s scripture forbidding reporting to LE.
Fair game policy is still in effect and still threatening and harming innocents all over the US and European continents, and elsewhere.
Whatever bad I have described here is just the tiniest tip of the iceberg of evil that is Scientology. In thought word and deeds Scientology is always worse than one might have imagined it could possibly be.

Great job both of you, for getting in many key points in such a short period of time!

Excellent informative segment, great job.

I see this pair of morons have suddenly had a, “Oh shit, we screwed up!” moment.

This is a great interview and I plan to alert my Congressmember, who succeeded Jackie Speier in Congress this year. (Jackie was with her boss Rep Leo Ryan when he was killed on the tarmac at Jonestown, and she well understands the dangers of cults, more than anyone else in Congress).

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 18 NOVEMBER 1970 Issue I1
PR Series 5 PR DEFINITION
THE DUTY AND PURPOSE OF A PUBLIC RELATIONS MAN IS: THE INTERPRETATION OF TOP MANAGEMENT POLICY TO THE DIFFERENT PUBLICS OF THE COMPANY-TO ADVISE TOP MANAGEMENT SO THAT POLICY IF LACKING CAN BE SET-TO MAKE THE COMPANY, ITS ACTIONS OR PRODUCTS KNOWN, ACCEPTED AND UNDERSTOOD BY THE DIFFERENT PUBLICS- AND TO ASSIST THE COMPANY TO EXIST IN A FAVORABLE OPERATING CLIMATE SO THAT IT CAN EXPAND, PROSPER AND BE VIABLE. ….. L. Ron Hubbard
Point: Scientology “leaders” should stop paying lawyers for fighting off criticism of Scientology, and instead pay consultants WHICH of the key Hubbard policies to let shrink into non application:
a) stop disconnection/SP declaring, and revert to wholesale amnesty, “undeclare” all past SP declares
b) stop obstructing law enforcement investigating any crimes by Scientologists, (and drop OSA entirely, just dissolve OSA)
c) Do a review project to eliminate all harmful Hubbard regulations
I really wonder, Mike, what major reforms do you think Scientology ought to do?
They have the money, they could reform some stuff, the biggest worst harms need to stop, and new leadership for one, since Miscavige is guilty of serial alleged Misdemeanor Battery of other top leaders of Scientology going back decades, so Miscavige getting off the throne is number one.
There needs to be an ex member prioritization of things most needed to be eliminated from Scientology.
(I’ve always thought the freezone is a “pilot” for what they’ve dispensed with, pointing to the big things official Scientology ought to reform.)
Karl Woodrow says
Excellent advice, Chuck. The COS should hire you straight off of Something Can Be Done About It to be at very least their Qual Sec Int and implement your plan. Then that organization might have a chance to find out who they really are as a group and perhaps have a chance of being of service to the people of Earth.
But I don’t think there is much chance of any of that happening until Miscavige either dies or is convicted of some of his many crimes.
It sure would be nice though. If there had been a REAL ethics officer on post who was not cowed when the other DM (Masterson) first came to see him, this s*** would have stopped right there. …There would not have been more victims of this enabled, spoiled brat narcissistic serial rapist and much spiritual pain would have been avoided on all sides by many human beings.
They really SHOULD give you a call, Chuck
Lorna says
Leah and Mike,
Thanks for all that you are doing to try and bring the truth forward. What a great interview! I too was forced by the church to coverup a rape so I’m glad to see the wall of lies the church hides behind being torn down. Get job to all involved in this case. I hope other victims have the strength to come forward as these brave women.
