None of the “2nd Gen” ex Sea Org members you watch on Youtube ever have. But Larry Wollersheim has. He won $9 million dollars from the Church of Scientology. If you are genuine and for real about “taking Scientology down”, then stop listening to the “Aftermath Foundation” or the “SPTV Foundation” – both designed to deceive and divide you – and listen to Larry Wollersheim who was THERE. Realize that people before you have seriously and successfully taken Scientology ...

So we reached out to them and they confirmed for us that nothing in the book associated with them actually happened. “Lonesome Squirrel” is an incredibly creative work of fiction that has enough actual names and locations and quotations from L. Ron Hubbard’s work that it has a veneer of authenticity.” — Tony Ortega, Why Steve Fishman — of the notorious Fishman Papers — is today serving 21 ...

I have no comment at this time. Nor may I have one ever. Always remember: The Church of Scientology’s primary strategy against its critics and squirrels is: DIVIDE & CONQUER It’s secondary strategy is OBFUSCATE & DISTRACT I believe this is an example of both. I’m not saying Dodge Landesman is running an OSA Op. He’s just doing his job here. And – as always – he’s doing it well.

Before that incident, I had every reason to believe it. She’d spent more than a decade covering up for Mike Rinder and trying to discredit his critics publicly, like me. Since then though, she has absolutely proven to me that she is no longer doing that. She has stopped covering up for Mike Rinder and has delivered the real and factual information we’ve ...

SPTV hates Stefani Hutchison, so anything she does is considered suspicious and this (probably sincere) move by Stefani was used to publicly humiliate her. She did not ask Liz Ferris if she could do this, and Stefani apparently got some facts wrong in her GoFundMe description. Stefani tried to contact Liz after she put up the GoFundMe, but Liz ignored her emails. I learned about human tribalism the ...

When someone publicly threatens you with violence, it’s important to respond. So I will be. Marisa Sigmond tried to hide her video after it became an issue with another blog post I reported about her alleged threat to kill another one of her earlier male Internet targets – Chris Elston. Maybe she did threaten to kill Chris Elston, maybe she didn’t. Chris Elston believed she did threaten to kill him enough to report it to the Canadian Mounted Police. https://x.com/BillboardChris/status/1328824123116511234 ...

I have a Masters degree in the Psychology of Coercive Control from the University of Salford in Manchester, England. I was able to apply for a Masters program without a prior Bachelors degree because of a very common program offered by many universities around the world called APEL – Accreditation for Prior Learning. This is a valid psychology degree which is taken by mental health professionals, doctors, nurses, many various cult survivors, addiction specialists, public ...

They have also deleted major courses without replacing them over the last decade or more, such as the Class 8 course, the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, and many others. The implications of this are astounding. It means that they are headed ...

What goes into her brain always comes out wrong. It’s like the time I tried explaining to Marisa Sigmond that I take an anthropological approach to mainstream vs minority religions and she responded by saying that her Mexican ancestors used to practice human sacrifice, so I must want to bring back human sacrifice. Marisa, and the rest of the Scientology 2nd Gens, know that telling the truth often does not generate enough sympathy for lots of YouTube SuperChats and PayPal donations, so the goal is never to tell the truth. The ...

And so it naturally fits that people will gather around to hear an Ex-Scientologists’ tales of abuse on the Internet. I was involved in this practice of telling my tales of abuse since the earliest days of Internet Anti-Scientology. I would talk about how they followed me, went through my trash, sent people in on me to have lunch with and sat at a nearby table to listen in. Sent in “girlfriends” to surveil and psyop me. Got me fired from ...

TRANSCRIPT: Trauma bonding with Gerry Armstrong. So, the title of this is a joke, of course, because I can’t tell you a person who has been more fair gamed by the Church of Scientology and for whom it shows not one wit. I’ve ...

Paris Cashin appeared in comments when I first started up and she was incredibly supportive of me. Not so much any more because “she supports women”, and I guess that means she doesn’t support me, even though the woman she supports regularly calls me a eunich, and not a man at all. So I guess “I support women” means “I support misandry against men”. But even now, every once in a while, she remains supportive of ...

He has since moved on to being an activist against childhood gender re-assignment surgery. He now goes by @BillBoardChris and has a Twitter following of 428K. Christopher Elston and I have had problems in the past. He tried to tell me what to write once (homie don’t play dat), and he also fairgamed Monique Rathbun’s business after she dropped her lawsuit against Scientology, with the approval many people from the Scientology and the Aftermath TV show, which I exposed on my blog many years ...

No disagreement is allowed. No alternative ideas can be spoken. This proves these people are not capable of telling, or even tolerating, the truth about anything. Just like Scientology. That people who pretend to be more intelligent, more moral, more civilized than Scientologists would act exactly like Scientologists is just ...

They have done unspeakable things to try to shut Gerry Armstrong up. And Gerry Armstrong has methodically recorded each one. From their physical pursuit of him, trying to run him off the road, to their court cases against him where his lawyers had been blackmailed, to their depraved use of him to gain tax exempt status, and to their present and ...

He’ll throw down with anyone, anywhere, and at anytime if he can raise awareness of the child trafficking going on in Scientology hotels. And he can inform Scientology’s attorneys that their client might very well be committing felonies by locking up the passports of minors. Serge hopes their knowledge of this will cause them to consider their bar licenses. You can tell, Serge Del Mar is not going to stop until these Scientology kids see justice.

It’s hard for me to type. To finally see the chains breaking on the information control that descended upon Anti-Scientology 14 years ago, brought in by all the “former” Int Base Execs.

Marty Rathbun had gotten on to the Internet in 2009, and I had participated on his blog, watched him obfuscate and lie, and ferociously criticized him as an Int Base criminal since the first days of his blog. My history has been redefined by Karen de la Carriere, Mike Rinder, and other Int Base OSA personnel, since those early days of their “escape” from David Miscavige.

If that is all she has, she will never be able to get her answer. Here’s her video: Here’s my response to her: I’m going to make a point that is not popular among Ex-Scientologists: Neither Scientologists, nor Anti-Scientologists, are capable of telling the truth about Scientology.
