A bill regulating drug rehab centers in Oklahoma that could spell big trouble for Scientology’s Narconon flagship operation there passed the state Senate 46-0 this week, and now it goes before the House.
Its House co-sponsor is Jason Murphey, a young Republican representative known for his commitment to modernizing government and ethics reform. We talked to […]

It’s been stunning to watch Scientology’s drug rehab network, Narconon, plunge into crisis over the last year after several deaths at its facilities in Oklahoma and Georgia.
But a key part of that crisis has been the emergence of former Narconon employees who have come forward to detail the network’s deceptive practices. Last […]
On Tuesday, we noted that Scientology not only has still not opened its “Super Power” Building — which it started building almost 15 years ago — but that it says its Clearwater, Florida “mecca” won’t be complete until it builds a major new auditorium — the L. Ron Hubbard Hall — on Super Power’s south […]
Sen. Tom Ivester
Yesterday, Oklahoma’s Senate voted 46-0 to approve a bill authored by Sen. Tom Ivester which will require drug rehab facilities to be licensed by the state mental health board.
Senate Bill 295 now goes to the House, and if it’s approved there, will go to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin for signing.
If the […]
A year ago, we made public hundreds of schematics showing plans for Scientology’s “Flag Mecca,” known colloquially as the “Super Power” building. The city-block-sized, 300,000-square-foot monstrosity across the street from the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida first broke ground in 1998, and even after the church was forced to pay $413,500 in penalties to […]
We’re bursting with pride here in the Underground Bunker for Dee Findlay, a reader who first made contact with us about a year ago.
At that point, she had just decided to come out of Scientology, and had discovered the Voice blog almost right away. She became a frequent reader and commenter, and also communicated with […]
Oops! We plum forgot that we’d scheduled this video for this morning. Things have been a bit crazy around the Bunker lately, and we did imbibe a bit last night, joining in to “wet the head” of our newest reader, Grayson Headley. (And so did Jonny Jacobsen — check out the photos we added this […]
The Underground Bunker is pleased to announce the birth of Grayson Pierce Headley, who entered the world at 10:50 this morning at 8 pounds, 15.9 ounces.
This makes three boys for Marc and Claire Headley, who were finally able to start a family after they left Scientology’s Sea Org in 2005.
Marc assures us it was […]
This Photoshopped image of Scientology leader David Miscavige as Pope was created by the smart-asses over at Anonymous. We think it’s blasphemous. Which is why it’s so darn funny.
The surprising news this morning is that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning at the end of the month, the first pope to walk away from […]
Sure, she’s done The View and Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan — but surely the media highlight of Jenna Miscavige Hill’s whirlwind New York tour was sitting down with The Underground Bunker!
Well, at least her kids, Winnie (left) and Archie, seemed pretty thrilled to meet us, as you can see from this picture. And we […]
