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...]
The Blind Leading the Blind
The fools at STAND either: a) Believe everyone is so stupid they don't see right through them, or b) Are only interested in communicating to their KoolAid drinking bubble-dwellers who accept anything and everything they say at face value as if it is unalterable truth, even if it contradicts something they said in the previous sentence. The drivel they put out is so easily exposed as lies and propaganda it's hard to believe they even bother. The image above is a screen shot from their website. Trying to sound like freedom of religion warriors for truth and media ethics … [Read more...]
Dirty Cops and PI’s
There are a few blogs I always check -- Tony Ortega's Underground Bunker the best source for breaking news on scientology, Jeffrey Augustine's Scientology Money Project for the latest updates on scientology criminality, Stefani Hutchinson's incisive take on all things in the weird and hypocritical world of scientology Confront and Shatter , and now there is another to add to my list Dirty Cops and PI's. This new blog is the work of the always thorough Jeffrey Augustine, who has done some pretty incredible research into subjects related to scientology and especially the criminal activities o … [Read more...]

Episode 55: Ian Rafalko and Dylan Follo
We have a special treat this week. Leah and I talk with Ian Rafalko and Dylan Follo. Ian became an internet sensation when he posted a TikTok video about his father, scientologist chiropractor Eric Berg. His message has been viewed by millions. Ian met Dylan when they were training as auditors at Flag in Clearwater to return to their ideal orgs in Atlanta and NY respectively. They are the first people we have spoken to who have actually been on staff inside an "ideal" org and their experiences are pretty shocking. Ian's family has been torn apart and his wife chose scientology … [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...]
Episode 53: Listener Questions 7
Our next episode of Listener Questions. Always some of our favorite episodes, and as usual, though we cover a lot of ground, we didn't get through nearly all the questions you have sent in. This time we try our best to answer questions about who does the Fair Gaming, what is CCHR, how scientology views the disabled, what PTSness is, The Duke of Chug, scientology's sense of humor and much more. Leah and Mike even act out what happens in an auditing session. It's a lot of fun and hopefully informative. Dealing with Critics of Scientology What is … [Read more...]
The Great Wisdom of Ron
Every day, Tony Ortega has a piece of Hubbard wisdom from the same date in history. The one from May 28th struck me. “Now, you’re a registrar and somebody is coming in, or you’re signing up PCs. (All of you have to wear a registrar’s hat at one time or another.) And you’re trying to get somebody to get some auditing, you’re a registrar, see? And there you are one fine day with a yow-yow-yow and a scream-scream-scream standing in front of your face: Seventy-five hours of auditing have been delivered — he feels terrible! He says, ‘Oh, I could kill everybody in the place,’ and he ought to go out … [Read more...]
Why Is Chris Latvala Supporting Scientology and What is a “Safepoint”?
Please see the article on Tony Ortega's website yesterday about the crazy Twitter war FL State Congressman Chris Latvala started -- first with Tracey McManus of the Tampa Bay Times, then with Tony Ortega and subsequently with me. I tweeted about this after Tony' story was up, and the Congressman responded to me in a similar fashion: As you can see my last offer is to meet with him to help provide the education he needs. I hope he takes me up. He said he was unaware of the scientology connections to the books that were offered. Maybe that is the case, but … [Read more...]
