Scientology Armageddon | The Underground Bunker

Hiding L. Ron Hubbard’s control of Scientology in the 1980s

We had some difficulty hearing former Scientologist Micheal Leonard Tilse speak at last week’s Flag Down conference over its live feed. But he’s loud and clear in a new clip that Mark Bunker is making public from his upcoming documentary, ‘Knowledge Report.’

In the clip, Tilse tells us about a remarkable moment in church history when, […]

TIZIANO LUGLI: A new short film about Scientology and ‘slavery’

Former Scientologist and music producer Tiziano Lugli has given us the opportunity once again to debut one of his highly polished short films about the Scientology experience.

Previously, Lugli made us laugh with ‘Shit Scientologists Say,’ and hit us in the gut with ‘The Shrinking Cult of Scientology.’

Now he’s got a parody of a film […]

Scientology is determined to conquer this Internet thing

Just a few days ago we told you that Scientologists in the UK had started archiving their publications on the ‘net. It was a surprising move for an organization that remains very conflicted about the web. Shortly after we pointed out that the magazines were online, they were yanked down.

Now a tipster has pointed us […]

Jamie DeWolf: I’ve found the last memoir of the son of Scientology’s founder

During a mesmerizing performance last night in Clearwater, Florida at the Flag Down anti-Scientology conference, Jamie DeWolf made a stunning revelation. He’s authenticated bizarre writings that had been attributed to his grandfather, L. Ron Hubbard Jr., who was the son of Scientology’s founder. They paint a disturbing portrait of the influence of the occult on […]

OREGON SENATOR RON WYDEN ASKS IRS FOR SCIENTOLOGY REVIEW

US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)

The Underground Bunker has obtained an e-mail written by Ron Wyden, the senior US Senator from Oregon, who has formally asked the Internal Revenue Service to explain why the Church of Scientology enjoys tax exempt status, 21 years after that exemption was granted in a controversial decision.

Wyden’s inquiry comes […]

Scientology’s plans for the KCET studios in Los Angeles finally taking shape?

We had a laugh when Scientology shocked many people in Los Angeles by purchasing the historic studios that had long housed the local public television station KCET. The thought of Scientology operating its own television network led us two years ago to speculate about the fabulous shows the wacky group could put together.

But since […]

Leaked footage of Scientology leader David Miscavige in Sydney

We’ve been leaked some exclusive footage of David Miscavige speaking at the opening this weekend of a new “Ideal Org” in Sydney.

The source who provided us the footage estimated the crowd size at 1,500 — and that included people who had arrived from Taiwan, New Zealand, and across Australia.

That’s a pretty anemic turnout for such […]

Flag Down drama — Mark Bunker kicked out by conference organizer

We just heard from longtime Scientology critic Mark Bunker, who has just been summarily ejected from the Flag Down 2014 conference in Clearwater by organizer Laura Flynn.

“I just got kicked out and so did Tom Smith,” Bunker told us by […]

If you’ve been hanging out with us for a while, you know that we bounce around from big stories with wide appeal to some things that only the truly obsessive will care about. Today we have a real treat for you obsessive types who love going down the Scientology rabbit hole.

One of our great tipsters […]

Scientology’s E-meter police, and the horse doctor of LaBelle, Florida

Last month we told you about Jillian Schlesinger, a young woman who escaped from Scientology’s “Sea Organization” and then, just weeks later, began telling her story for publication. We wondered if that short period between her dash for freedom and speaking out might be a sign of Scientology’s deepening crisis that is driving so many […]
