[Don’t tread on Penny Atwell Jones]Penny Atwell Jones is an OT 8 Scientologist who has a way of drawing attention to herself. She’s appeared in a couple of stories here, and she tends to get a little news coverage these days as one of the president’s most enthusiastic supporters. Continue reading Scientology celebrity Catherine Bell’s July 4th was on fire!
[Scientology’s ‘Ideal Org’ off Times Square got a PPP loan]Yesterday the Trump administration released data about thousands of companies that received loans of $150,000 or more that were intended to help “small businesses” get through the coronavirus health crisis. Multi-billion-dollar international religious organizations don’t appear to fit that description. But among the recipients of loans in the Paycheck Protection Program we found three Scientology churches and two Narconon centers, as well as Scientology’s most unhinged front group, Citizens Commission for Human Rights, which agitates against the mental health field. Continue reading PPP small-business coronavirus bailout loans went to Scientology and Narconon centers

We have yet to see a reporter with access to Tom Cruise ask him about this: Sixteen years ago, in September 2004, Cruise dazzled the Scientologists assembled at an “Ideal Org” grand opening in Madrid by delivering a short speech in Spanish. When he was finished, he came off stage and shook hands with his great friend, Scientology leader David Miscavige. Continue reading Tom Cruise at 58: Scientology’s biggest asset continues to avoid the tough questions
Twice recently we heard from families going through the now-familiar Narconon nightmare: Desperate to find help for a son or daughter, they are fooled by Scientology’s slick online operation that convinces parents they are talking to a legitimate drug rehab. And only after sending their loved one across the country at great expense do they learn that they’ve been suckered into Scientology’s unregulated, unsafe quack cold-turkey rehabs that deliver Scientology training, not drug counseling. One of those families is determined to fight back, and is allowing us to publish this account they wrote up of what they went through. We’re hoping at a later date to bring you more information about them, including their names, after they’ve had a chance to talk with attorney Graham Berry. Continue reading A family’s Scientology drug rehab nightmare: The Narconon ‘Fresh Start’ scam strikes again
For years we’ve been keeping an eye on Scientology’s attempts to take advantage of natural (and man-made) disasters as public relations opportunities with the use of their “Volunteer Minister” corps.
