On May 26, we told you about David Miscavige’s rising new Scientology star, anti-vaxx “human rights attorney” Leigh Dundas, who is making a name for herself by pretending that public health officials asking people to wear masks to protect against a deadly pandemic is constitutional heresy and is tantamount to murder.
It’s won her a small legion of fans among the scientifically-challenged, and has garnered her some entertaining mentions in local press articles about protests in various parts of California.
And now it turns out that on the very day that our article about Dundas appeared she outdid herself with a fiery display at an Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting that would have major implications.
During her two minutes allowed during a public input session that day, Dundas unleashed a vicious attack on beleaguered OC chief health officer Dr. Nichole Quick, even naming her home address and threatening to stage a protest on her lawn that, when it resulted in deaths, would get Quick charged with “murder.”
It was so out of bounds, in video of the meeting posted by the county, Dundas is muted when she blurts out Quick’s home address…
Quick’s “crime” was that she had ordered Orange County residents to wear masks in public, just like so many other public health officials around the country, many of whom have been the target of irrational hatred and death threats by people upset that they might be inconvenienced during a major pandemic.
After the meeting and the threats from Dundas, the county sheriff’s department assigned a security detail to protect Quick, but on Monday she gave in to the hatred and threats and resigned.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported on Quick’s resignation and on the threats spoken during the May 26 hearing, but for some reason the Times article didn’t name Dundas. It only referred to her as “a woman who identified herself as an attorney.”
It took us all of a few minutes to find the video from the board of supervisors meeting and separate out the segment you see above, during which Dundas clearly says her name. A few moments more searching would have brought the Times to our previous story about Scientology’s new attack dog.
Once again, the Los Angeles Times shows no interest in a potentially important story about a Scientologist.
Meanwhile, David Miscavige must be thrilled that his new weapon has her first “head on a pike,” as Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard was so fond of saying.
With these articles we hope public officials in California take note that Leigh Dundas is a Scientologist agitating for a sneaky Scientology front group, and that she should not be taken seriously. She’s already proved she’s not above putting a public official’s life in danger in order to further her ludicrous conspiracy theories.
The Los Angeles Times missed that part of the story, and it will be interesting to see if the newspaper gets around to discussing Dundas in a more serious way as she will, most certainly, continue to attempt to cause as much damage as possible to public health and government in California.

“Many an auditor falls for this because the PC wants to know how come he was on the planet Yuk-zuk in a railway conductor’s uniform, you see? What was he doing there? And that’s all very interesting and we can assuage his curiosity to some degree, but if we go in for just assuaging the curiosity of the thing — dramatizing watching TV or something like that, you see — we unfortunately get into the situation where we’re not following down an engramic chain. So here, you see, is another great liability in running engrams. We get so absorbed in dramatis personae and that sort of thing, that we actually aren’t running the chain of engrams at all, we are simply trying to find out. See, get that as a liability, because it is a liability. You actually can find out all about what this PC was doing on the planet Yuk-zuk. You could find out all about it. The only trouble is the basic on it was on the planet Pan-wan, which was a trillion years earlier. You see?” — L. Ron Hubbard, June 11, 1963

“Much like you have had free reign to spread entheta about our org and our members, I should be allowed to have my voice, so please stop attempting to suppress me by saying ‘stop it’ and ‘stop spreading entheta.’ Per LRH, ethics exist to HELP orgs, not destroy them. Please see references above. Moreover, LRH says that we are protected from ethics because of our up-stats. The case should be closed there. Moreover, LRH didn’t want a dictatorship to exist. As long as Scientology is introduced into the world and we can HELP people, we should. If our org is gone, along goes with it the world’s only online course room for independent Scientologists, video production to increase awareness of LRH and his materials, quotes, the first Scientology games, and then some.”

“The fact that the mayor couldn’t revoke the license for the Scientologists to erect their circus tent in punishment for their egregious act I find outrageous. The U.S legal system is way too convoluted for my liking.”
