If you’ve been following our coverage of Scientology even tangentially, you know that one of the big stories to emerge in the last year is the surprising meltdown occurring in the church’s drug rehab network, Narconon. Four deaths since 2009 at Narconon Arrowhead, its flagship facility in Oklahoma, has resulted in multiple investigations and lawsuits. A […] On Sundays, we love to turn over things to our worldwide network of tipsters, who send us the latest wacky mailers and fliers from the Church of Scientology. This week, we have a fun variety of things, with an emphasis on getting your kids involved in some summertime fun that comes with a side helping […] Oh brother, here we go again…
This isn’t the first time that ex-Scientologist Tiziano Lugli has been mistaken for Tom Cruise zipping around Hollywood on his Ducati motorcycle. But TMZ? You’d think Harvey Levin’s outfit would want a bit more confirmation before deciding that a video of Tiziano and his wife Jamie is Tom Cruise and his […] Jon Atack is the author of A Piece of Blue Sky, one of the very best books on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. He now has a new edition of the book out, and on Saturdays he’s helping us sift through the legends, myths, and contested facts about Scientology that tend to get hashed and […] We talked this afternoon with Gary Richardson, the former federal prosecutor who has filed more than ten lawsuits against Scientology’s flagship drug rehab facility in Oklahoma, Narconon Arrowhead.

Go here for the first post in the series. Vance, we’ve reached a short chapter titled “Some Types of Engrams,” and it provides several examples of engrams, which we always […] We spoke yesterday with Beatriz Biscardi, the EEOC attorney who filed a lawsuit on May 8 against Dynamic Medical Services, Inc., a Miami chiropractic business run by a Scientologist named Dennis Nobbe. On May 9, we reported that the EEOC had put out a press release announcing that it was suing Nobbe’s business for forcing his […] Claire Headley is taking us on our journey to train as Scientologists. She and her husband Marc were Sea Org workers who escaped from Scientology’s International Base in 2005. She spent years working with Scientology’s “tech,” and was trusted to oversee the auditing of Tom Cruise. Go here to see the first part in this […] We have several really big stories brewing here in the Underground Bunker, but they require a lot of reporting and aren’t ready to pop yet. In the meantime, we wanted to give our wonderful commenting community something to chew on, and we realized there’s a great little event happening tonight in Los Angeles! If you can […] |
