We want to thank Robert Berrington, a South African reader, who sent us some rare documents — records of his own Scientology excommunication.
Berrington learned that at the end of last year he was “declared a suppressive person” by the church — in other words, he’d been kicked out, and all church members who want to […]
President Barack Obama was reelected yesterday here in the United States and, at nearly 2 in the morning, gave a rousing victory speech.
“You voted for action, not politics as usual,” he said.
Action? Hey, we have some ideas about the kind of action the US government could engage in during Obama’s second […]
Hey, it’s Election Day here in the US, and we hope our American readers go out and vote.
On this historic day, we have just a few thoughts about how this election intersects with our interests in Scientology watching at this […]
Lots going on here at the underground bunker this morning, and we didn’t have time for a regular Monday post. While we check up on other developing stories, we’ll share with you this entertaining homage to L. Ron Hubbard’s masterpiece, Dianetics.
Looking forward to your thoughts. [h/t: WWP]
We have to hand it to our tipsters. Not only have they come through yet again, but we’ve heard from our Australia sources after things had gone quiet Down Under for some time.
On Sundays, we like to share with you the Scientology fliers and mailers that have been forwarded to us during the week. It […]

Ron Hubbard wrote to his shipboard crew as he ran the organization while sailing the Mediterranean and Atlantic during the years 1967 to 1975 (our documents cover a period from late 1968 through 1971).
Since last […]
Florida attorney Ken Dandar filed a federal lawsuit yesterday against the Church of Scientology and its attorneys, asking for injunctive relief and a jury trial over what he says has been a violation of his civil rights.
Dandar’s suit is the latest twist in a dauntingly complex history of litigation that goes back to a wrongful […]
Last night, television journalist Nathan Baca returned to Scientology reporting with a two-part report on Scientology’s drug rehab program in Nevada, a Narconon center about 150 miles north of Las Vegas in the small town of Caliente.
Baca is known for a hard-hitting 2009 series he did about Scientology’s International Base as a reporter for a […]
This is an extended version of KWTV-Channel 9’s report which aired last night about Scientology’s drug rehab program in Oklahoma — Narconon Arrowhead — which is under investigation for three deaths that occurred there over a nine-month period.
Reporter Dana Hertneky interviews Robert Murphy, whose daughter Stacy Dawn Murphy died at the rehab center in July, […]
