Hey, kids, welcome to summer camp! This is supposed to be a time when things slow down, but we’re more slammed than ever — and we have big stories coming, we promise. But today, we thought we’d latch on to the seasonal fun over at the Dallas Morning News, where the editorial board decided that […] We knew him only as “Plain Old Thetan.” He began communicating with us during our Village Voice days, and quickly became one of our most productive and most trusted sources about what was happening inside the Church of Scientology. On Thursday, Plain Old Thetan — whose real name was John Joseph — died after suffering complications […] Pam Bondi, Florida AG On Sunday, we broke the news that Scientologists were holding a campaign fundraiser for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is running for re-election this year. One of our tipsters had forwarded to us a mailer that was not meant to be spread outside the church, showing that several high-level Scientologists […] Yesterday, in our Sunday Funnies, we showed you a flier (pictured, right) announcing a set of L. Ron Hubbard lectures that the folks at Scientology’s London Ideal Org claim were never previously released, and that would be on sale for £200. “Ron talks about the anatomy of the body and gives a glimpse at one of […] George White on the Freewinds to do OT 8 in July 1988 More than a year ago, we started a project — ‘Up the Bridge’ — which we thought would be very useful for our readers, particularly those who had never been members of Scientology. With the help of experts — Claire Headley, Bruce Hines, and […] The Underground Bunker has been leaked a rare 1952 L. Ron Hubbard recording that surfaced online only briefly five years ago. When it did, some longtime Scientology researchers were astonished, saying they thought it was mere legend. Despite the secrets it unlocks about the formation of Scientology’s beginnings, you won’t see a mention of this recording […] Another vintage trio A tip of the hat to Communicator I/C, who last night spotted something interesting at the New Republic. It was a review of a new book about science fiction giant Robert Heinlein which apparently contains a salacious detail about Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Reviewing William Patterson’s second volume of his huge […] In 1978, the Church of Scientology paid $2.7 million to acquire a fading resort in the California desert known as Gilman Hot Springs. The 550-acre parcel included a relatively modest house named “Bonnie View” that founder L. Ron Hubbard intended to live in, once it was renovated. But he never got the chance. By the […] Evgeny Zharkin, who also went by “Gene.” On January 28, a man named Evgeny Zharkin died after falling from a building in Clearwater, Florida. Clearwater is the spiritual worldwide headquarters of the Church of Scientology, and Zharkin was a Scientologist. Also, Zharkin was a Russian national, and increasingly, many of the Scientologists in Florida are […] Last May, we told you about a slim volume of home-spun tales by a retired musician remembering his 1940s childhood in rural Pennsylvania. What made that book, True Confessions of a Kid, remarkable, however, was that it was written by Ron Miscavige, father to Scientology leader David Miscavige, and a man who literally had to escape […] |
