L. Ron Hubbard’s stolen valor: A new breakdown of his bogus medals by a military veteran

Longtime Bunker reader PickAnotherID revealed to us recently that he’s actually a 20-year military veteran with an expertise in military records and decorations. He told us that he’s been frustrated at L. Ron Hubbard’s “stolen valor” that was promoted by the Church of Scientology, and he says that some of the critics of Hubbard’s military record have also failed to give an accurate telling of just what he was entitled to. We think you’ll be impressed by his thorough examination of Hubbard’s war documents as he attempts to set the record straight, finally.

Truths about Nxivm leader Keith Raniere that his loyalists still refuse to face

[Keith Raniere, genius]

Dianne Lipson covered the Nxivm federal trial for us last year with detailed reports from the courtroom. In part, we wanted to watch the Nxivm prosecution closely to give us a sense for what it was like in case Scientology ever, someday, gets a close look by the government. And now that Keith Raniere has been sentenced, we wanted to get Dianne’s thoughts about it.

I was not able to be in court Tuesday to see Keith Raniere sentenced to 120 years in prison. Like many Nxivm observers, I knew this outcome could happen, but it’s still hard to process a sentence that is longer than a life. Federal prisoners are required to serve 85 percent of their sentence. Effectively, Raniere’s sentence is no less than 102 years.
