Danny Masterson’s Rape Trial Jury Foreman Interview – Full Transcript
Chris Shelton and Tony Ortega Interview the Foreman of the Jury in the Danny Masterson Criminal Rape Trial. This is the full transcript of that interview.
Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
Tony Ortega is a former reporter for various independent weekly newspapers around the country, and was the Editor for the Village Voice for 6 years before it collapsed in the BackPage.com sex trafficking scandal. Ortega left the Village Voice before all the indictments came down and began writing about Scientology every day in 2011.
His first article on Scientology was written in 1995 and it expressed his atheistic, materialist view that all religious and spiritual pursuits are illegitimate, and Scientology is especially so.
It is notable, and should be kept in mind while reading him, that Tony Ortega has never written about any aspect of Scientology, or of a Scientologist, in a positive or even neutral way. AlanzosBlog believes his editorial position on Scientology is entirely negative to the detriment of the truth.
These are posts on AlanzosBlog which have to do with Tony Ortega.
Chris Shelton and Tony Ortega Interview the Foreman of the Jury in the Danny Masterson Criminal Rape Trial. This is the full transcript of that interview.
Tony Ortega writes a blog post with a clear bias against Scientology every day, sometimes more than one. And so it really is tiresome for me to be talking about Tony Ortega’s bias against Scientology … Read more
“Why were you messaging her?” “Because she’s super f**cking hot!” Aaron Smith Levin is married with children, and he wants to be a Clearwater City Councilman.
One of the murkiest swamps in the world is Mike Rinder’s career timeline. There has been a concerted effort to obfuscate the facts about where Rinder was and what he did for David Miscavige as the Commanding Officer of the Office of Special Affairs for 22 years.
Frank Parlato, a Real Investigative Journalist, Has Become Interested in Reporting on Scientology. And it Couldn’t Come Soon Enough.
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?
Is poor Mike Rinder just a victim of Scientology Fair Game as this promotional video portrays him?
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…
In a blog post dated 27 July 2020, Marty Rathbun re-emerged to corroborate some of the experiences of Corey Andrews, Steven Mango and myself in dealing with the hyper-controlling cult-like tribalism of Celebrity Anti-Scientology.
Watch Rinder try to throw a Twitter user off his trail by employing the Scientology tactic of a “No-Answer”. Do you think it worked?
Remember when Anti-Scientology was supposed to be more humane, more ethical, and more understanding than Scientology? I do.
Gerry Armstrong Asks Tony Ortega When he will Ask Mike Rinder about his Fair Game of him. Tony deflects and obfuscates away.
Celebrity anti-Scientology tribalist Bryan Seymour was all set to release a 10 episode broadside to the Church of Scientology. The original release date was July 9th. Then, on Twitter, Bry said the release was being delayed “for legal” and it would be dropped on Tuesday July 14th Aussie time.
But it didn’t drop. It disappeared.
This Ex-Scientologist is courageously putting herself out there and warning the public about the abuses she has personally witnessed in Scientology, and while she is in the middle of doing that, Tony Ortega tries to discredit her on his blog.
Angry Gay Pope, Karen de la Carriere’s long time video editor, admits Karen is a practicing Scientologist. Why hasn’t Chris Shelton or Tony Ortega ever reported this?
Does Karen De La Carriere pay money to Tony Ortega and Chris Shelton to post what she wants?
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?
Maybe there was a time, that if Tony Ortega had gotten out of this war he is engaged in with Scientology, he might have survived. But that time is gone.
Tony Ortega is one of the most valuable critics of Scientology ever. But is he so biased that, over time, you can start to live in a delusional world about Scientology? I think so.
An ideologue is so certain of the ideology he has adopted, and the rightness of how he sees the world, that he can sneer at people, knowing how superior he is. It is a lazy way to go through life, intellectually, but if you surround yourself with people who also never question their assumptions, either, it’s easier to live that way. One of the best examples is Tony Ortega.

Alanzo was a Scientologist for 16yrs. He left in the late 90’s & got fairgamed: fired from his job, followed by PIs & endured attempts by Scientology to destroy his business and his family. After all that, he believes getting out of a cult isn’t something that you recover from, it’s something you’re strengthened by.
Why has this community of Ex-Scientologists let this kind of boorish oppression happen to the most vulnerable Exes at the most vulnerable times of their lives? There is more to the idea of who you were as a Scientologist than “I was conned”.
