Welcome to AlanzosBlog.
Because of the inherent description of suicide in telling the story of the death of Flo Barnett, Youtube has restricted this video. So I’m posting it here where I can tell the truth about what Leah Remini covered up about Scientology.
As a former producer on Rinder and Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath TV show, Nora Ames makes a stunning set of admissions that shows just how much she’s been covering up for Mike Rinder
REPOSTED 31 JANUARY 2024. ORIGINALLY POSTED SEPTEMBER 2017 – RIGHT AFTER THIS EPISODE FEATURING MIRIAM FRANCIS & SAINA KAMULA AIRED. I’ve been asking these questions for 7 years. Still no answers from Mike Rinder.
Ex-Scientologists sometimes get stuck in simplistic explanations for Scientology because it’s too much work to understand it. They just want it to be a cult & Hubbard to be a con man.
Aaron Smith Levin interviewed Ex-Scientologist Nick Lister about his experiences growing up in Scientology in the Clearwater area. That video was taken down. The reasons appear to have been covered up by the Aftermath Foundation.
Google these names: Kyle Brennan, Ken Ogger, Flo Barnett. Ask yourself why, to this day, Leah Remini has never mentioned them.
Mike Rinder was head of the OSA, reporting directly to Miscavige. The evidence in the Danny Masterson rape trial shows his victims came forward to Scientology. Why hasn’t Mike talked?
This affidavit, filed in the Ken Dandar case, shows the daily routine that Mike Rinder lived as the Commanding Officer of the Office of Special Affairs for 22 years under David Miscavige.
When will Scientology and the Aftermath have an episode on the Death of Kyle Brennan? The series stayed away from the most important Scientology stories, like Mike Rinder’s OSA involvement in the cover-up of the Danny Masterson rape cases.
Running a blog every day, 3 seasons of a TV show and a podcast, Mike Rinder has never revealed anything to put Miscavige, or any Officer of Scientology, into criminal jeopardy. Why?
14 pieces of evidence wiped clean of blood & fingerprints. If this was really a suicide, why did the gun have no fingerprints or blood on it? Why was the bullet that killed Kyle Brennan never found?
The anti-cult movement provides the principle ideology almost all Ex-cult members are given to adopt after they leave their minority religions. The foundation of that anti-cult ideology is the belief in “brainwashing”. But does “brainwashing” really exist? Or is it just an excuse?
This deposition reveals the network that Miscavige, Rinder & Rathbun set up to control the outcomes of legal cases for Scientology in Pinellas county Florida.
All those awards, all those book sales, all those hero-worshipping praises. And still, no justice for Scientology’s victims.
Scientology isn’t the only group to go after their critics: Leah Remini’s Scientology & the Aftermath goes after their critics just as dishonestly
Last night’s episode of Leah Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath was a round table discussion of former Scientologists, and independent Scientologists, exposing the upper levels of Scientology so that people can make more informed decisions about their involvement. For that reason, it was a very valuable episode. And Tony Ortega has gotten people who have … Read more
I recorded my thoughts on the treatment I observed Aaron Smith-Levin getting from his Anti-Scientologist friends. From the ideologue Chris Shelton, to Tony Ortega’s demagoguery, to Leah Remini’s need to create a moral panic around Scientology – can Aaron’s intellectual honesty survive?
Mike Rinder & Leah Remini pretend to answer the tough questions about Scientology on their Fair Game Podcast. Here are the questions they will never allow.
Victoria Britton, mother of Kyle Brennan, will be releasing a book from a major publisher in the coming year.
Gerry Armstrong & Mike Rinder have a long history. Gerry thinks it’s time for Mike Rinder to come clean about all the OSA Fair Game Operations he ran against him and all the other critics of Scientology when Mike Rinder ran the dirty tricks arm of the Church of Scientology.
