Welcome to AlanzosBlog.
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.
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?
In the 12 years since Mike Rinder has been out of Scientology, running a blog every day, and 3 seasons of a TV Show, Mike Rinder has never revealed any information that would Miscavige, or any Officer of the Church of Scientology, into criminal jeopardy. Why?
Mike Rinder was head of the OSA, reporting directly to Miscavige. The evidence in the Danny Masterson rape trial shows his alleged victims came forward to Scientology. Why hasn’t Mike talked?
All those awards, all those book sales, all those hero-worshipping praises. And still, no justice for Scientology’s victims.
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?
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.

So far the series has stayed away from the most important Scientology stories, such as Mike Rinder’s OSA involvement in the cover-up of the Danny Masterson rape cases. So when will Scientology and the Aftermath have an episode on the Death of Kyle Brennan?
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.
The Church of Scientology isn’t the only group to go after their critics: Leah Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath goes after their critics just as dishonestly!
Rinder & Remini’s Where’s Shelly? campaign is a hoax to get their revenge on Miscavige. They know that she isn’t missing & never was. Here’s how I know.
In a Facebook Group called Scientology Deprogramming, which is made up of lots of Exes and long time critics of Scientology who think for themselves, I have not been able to find one tribal ninnie in it. Here are some important postings from it.

During all 3 Seasons of Leah Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath, Leah and Mike have sought to make anyone who criticizes their show out to be a Scientologist. Because who could possibly criticize the holy work that they are doing but a Scientologist?
For years, Tony Ortega has introduced Mike Rinder as his source for a quote in one of his articles as “the former International Spokesman” for the Church of Scientology. But is it true? Was that What Mike Rinder really did in Scientology? Here’s what Mike Rinder says…
William Drummond, long time Scientologist, now Ex, from Britain, with family members who used to work for Mike Rinder in the Office of Special Affairs, wants to talk about the things Mike Rinder has NOT exposed in the 11 years he’s been out of Scientology with his own blog on the Internet, and in 3 Seasons of Scientology and the Aftermath.

#AskMikeRinder launches to find out, once and for all, what criminal activity, if any, the Office of Special Affairs engaged in while Mike Rinder ran it for David Miscavige for 22 years.
Anti-Scientologists who want to “end the cult” are not thinking things through. Unless Scientology is doing something illegal, no one has the power to “end” them. You actually do not want to live in a society where the government, or even you, have the power to take away someone else’s religion. This is why the line between legal and illegal behavior is WAY more important than the line between moral and immoral behavior.
