The Underground Bunker

“You don’t have to know anything about electronics. You don’t have to be able to do one of these things, or make one, you just have to be able to run one….A retractor beam is used somewhat on the order that you bulldog a calf or rope a steer, or something of the sort. It’s to grab hold of something and hold it and pull it in….Why do men stay on Earth? Have you ever had a pc that gave you the idea that he was held down and was going to take root and grow? Have you ever had the idea that you’re sort of anchored in one spot? Did you ever feel heavy? Did you ever get up in the morning and feel tired? You get out of bed, you’re feeling all right, but the second you stand up you feel kind of tired. All you’re doing is kicking in one of these darn retractor somatics.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 24, 1952

“I think you’ll find the water tastes better. The contaminated water (defiled by a decayed hose being used to take it aboard probably) has been taken out of No. 4 tanks and pumped into Deep Tank forward. Clean water is reported as now in the lines.” — The Commodore, July 24, 1970

“Chris Shelton mainly has a voice because some higher profile ‘experts’ are supporting him. These guys have ‘important insider’ information on what happens only when the tech is squirreled and abused. Do they ever report all the successes? The one true expert on Scientology is LRH. He is the one to study and listen to.”

——————–

1999: Salon Magazine published a story on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Sue Mullaney’s battle to keep alive a web site critical of Scientology. “Susan Mullaney is not a fan of the Church of Scientology. Her two-year-old Web site contains a library of short audio excerpts from L. Ron Hubbard speeches and a ‘secret’ Scientology questionnaire, as well as her biting commentary about this material — the usage of which she claims falls well within legal ‘fair use’ boundaries. In March, Mullaney was informed by her Internet service provider, Frontier GlobalCenter, that her Web site had been partially blocked, due to a letter from the Church of Scientology that alleged she was illegally using copyrighted materials. Thanks to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which the Church of Scientology invoked in this case, Frontier was required to block the Web site unless Mullaney agreed to contest the charges in court. She did agree and filed the paperwork, but still it took four months for Mullaney to have her Web site reinstated. In a war against what it calls the ‘cult of Scientology,’ the online community of Scientology critics has long copied, distributed and annotated hundreds of ‘top secret’ and copyrighted documents from the Church of Scientology — usually invoking fair use laws to defend their actions. The Church of Scientology has determinedly fought to dismantle the Web sites that have republished its material all across the Net — using legal threats, filtering software and innumerable pro-Scientology posts in Usenet groups. In the last six months, at least a half dozen critics of the Church of Scientology have reported that the church has demanded that Internet service providers disable their Web sites or reveal their identities as anonymous Usenet posters, because of alleged copyright infringements. And, they say that the Internet service providers have carried out such demands without hesitation. The magic wand the Church of Scientology is invoking to get such quick results? The Digital Millennium Copyright Act. After her site was removed, for example, Mullaney filed a counter-notification agreeing to defend her use of the sound files and questionnaire. But the Church of Scientology failed to meet the 10-day deadline to begin a legal battle; as a result, Mullaney’s Web site was reinstated on July 8. Still, that doesn’t mean that her Web site is safe — although the Church of Scientology apparently decided against litigation in this round, both she and Frank Fields are concerned that there is nothing to keep the Church of Scientology from filing repeated complaints. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, unfortunately, doesn’t prevent multiple complaints for the same alleged violation — a loophole which could, conceivably, spur an endless cycle of Web sites being blocked and reinstated. So far, no Digital Millennium Copyright Act cases have been tried in court, so it’s still difficult to predict how the Church of Scientology’s use of the law will hold up. Kobrin says that the Church of Scientology has ‘won judgments and obtained permanent injunctions in five U.S. cases and two non-U.S. cases,’ but that was back before the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was on the books. Now that critics have a legal fallback as well, will they be able to more easily defend their usage of Church materials?”

——————–

“Just like with Esmeralda the Gypsy fortune teller proclaiming that her powers won’t work if non-believers are present, the same cautions exist within Scientology, as well as the rule that demonstrating OT powers to those on a lower gradient is an out-tech high crime. Ron knew the tricks on the spiritual bunco trade.”

Today: Leah Remini’s Scientology lawsuit gets a hearing in Los Angeles and we can tune in!

Tony Ortega — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 18:50:49 +0000

[Leah Remini and attorney Amit R. Vora]

TODAY AT SUBSTACK: If you’ve signed up for free emails at Substack, you will receive today’s feature story at your inbox: It’s been almost 3 years since Leah Remini filed her ‘Fair Game’ lawsuit against Scientology. The case has been held up by an appeal of an early ruling, and today it will have a hearing in LA. Best part is, we can watch it unfold online! We have the details. [What is this Substack thing, anyway?]

——————–

Technology Cocktail

“One of the prime operating mechanisms of the analytical mind is that it attacks resistance to the greatest good of the greatest number involved in any problem. It may be very clever in its attacks for it. also preserves the organism, progeny, the group and Mankind of which, remember, the organism is a part and which would be weakened by the loss of the organism itself. Give the analytical mind a target it cannot subdue by reason and it begins to direct attack in other ways. It works, in other words, against obstacles. When there are no obstacles it amuses and enjoys itself by inventing obstacles. But its activity is metered by the problems it observes or poses to itself and is regulated by rationality—not stimulus-response which is the characteristic of the reactive mind.” — L. Ron Hubbard, 1950

——————–

“Now your understanding is that when you die, why somehow or another about 15 minutes later you appear in another body. Let’s look at this thing from a time disorientation basis. That is a lie. It takes 69 days plus. More than 69 days. See, this has upset some of our calculations. We’ve wondered what has happened to some of our people, why they didn’t show up again immediately, that sort of thing. You’ve gone as long as eight or nine years between death and birth. Now what happens — I’ll just give you a fast rundown on this situation — what happens is, you’ve got a compulsion to appear at the between-lives return-point. And, of course, you just do a disappear at death and an appear there. You don’t travel to there, see. It’s all nicely implanted and you’re supposed to arrive at this exact point. And having arrived at this point you go through the works. And the works consist of a false death given to you in pictures. You’re caught there and beamed in, and you get a bunch of pictures which they have taken — these aren’t your pictures — and it tells you all about the death you just died. Only that’s not the death you just died. They give you a completely false death.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 23, 1963

——————–

“Today at 0900 we will move the bow of the ship over to the best fixed location of the port anchor which was researched last night. It’s just to the north of where we searched today. We will lower the port anchor and when secure, divers will go down the chain to see what an anchor looks like on the bottom and start a search radius from it. Have sleds ready again, they can stand off as we move forward.” — Capt. W.B. Robertson, July 23, 1970

——————–

“There is no ‘LRH 2.’ Ron does come back — I have no doubt in that — Ron is on our side, you can trust that. But I can tell you what LRH is thinking or would think about us: ‘Why don’t you do your job, you have the tech. What are you waiting for? When do you start?’ Do you know what is going on in Switzerland regarding the coronavirus? In Switzerland an MD was institutionalized because he called coronavirus a fake. Ron warned us even back in 1952. And also in KSW: There is no democracy. Friends, the situation is more serious than you may think.”

——————–

1998: Bob Minton was picketed at his New Hampshire home this week, leading to a confrontation when Scientologists entered his property. “Two Scientologists picketed my NH house this evening and tresspassed to photograph me and Stacy Young while we were swimming in the pool. They also yelled obscenities from 200 feet away. After the shots over the heads of OSA boys, somebody called the police to have them checkout the shooting incident in NH. I was called by police and told there were 4 police cars in front of my house and I should walk out of the house, hands above my head and surrender to the police. I was handcuffed and held in my driveway for 20 minutes while the police decided what was going on. Now I am free again and I urge everyone to read my post tonight entitled ‘Scientology versus Democracy Redux.'”

——————–

“L. Ron Hubbard is dead but that didn’t stop lawyers for Monique from introducing his works as evidence in a court of law. There is a paper trail for Joseph Smith leading back to the early 1800’s also. Evidence clearly demonstrates that L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith were con men. Smith was a convicted con man. The Abrahamic religions are obviously too old for this.”

More political sniping over Scientology in Clearwater: Mark Bunker’s reaction

Tony Ortega — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 18:50:33 +0000

[Once again the Latvalas are clashing with Clearwater councilman Mannino]

TODAY AT SUBSTACK: If you’ve signed up for free emails at Substack, you will receive today’s feature story at your inbox: Pinellas Commissioner Chris Latvala has posted another statement complaining about Clearwater Councilmember Mike Mannino and records requests being made by Scientology. Juicy! We’ve asked former council member Mark Bunker for his thoughts. [What is this Substack thing, anyway?]

Technology Cocktail

“It could be said with accuracy that the personality is the analytical mind individualities, and physical characteristics. And it could be said that neuroses could not manifest without an analytical mind to subvert. And it could be said that the personality plus the neuroses of a human being make up his manifested personality. And it could be said that no neurosis could manifest without usurping the circuits and abilities of the analytical mind and cutting down its power. And it could further be stated that a neurosis is without any characteristics or power unless it has an analytical mind upon which to impinge itself. Clearing away the aberrations intensifies all the strong points of the analytical mind and deintensifies all the weak points of the aberrated personality and such clearing intensifies the individuality and the personality.” — L. Ron Hubbard, 1950

——————–

“I took a hard-boiled, hardheaded, sonic shut-off, somatic shut-off, reality shut-off case and had him pretend he was dead, in the hope that he would swing into the dead person in whose valence he was, and then he could tell us all about the funeral. So I said, ‘Go to the time when you were dead.’ So he obligingly went to 1797 in Sicily, when he was in a farmhouse dying. He died with full somatics. I thought this was very interesting, so I brought him up to present time and thought about it a little more, and took another case….We are discovering incidents back there. I never investigated them before, although I probably should have. We don’t currently know much about them except that people feel better when they are run. This is not part of the standard technique of Dianetics at present although I have known this material was there for some time.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 22, 1950

——————–

“NOTICE: Any FEBC student who arrived here before April 20th is overdue for completion. Your Orgs need you; therefore, you should do everything in your power to complete all your outstanding cycles quickly and thoroughly so that you can be fired. As per HCO PL of Feb 22, 1968, ‘The secret of any executive success is the ability to COMPLETE cycles of action QUICKLY.’” — Mary Sue Hubbard, Controller, July 22, 1971

——————–

“Never in history have I seen a religion so attacked and so maligned as Scientology, and mainly by its own ex-members and especially by its ex-executives. Look at all the people writing — for years and years — about how bad Scientology is. Well, they aren’t nuts per definition, they just have overts and especially missed withholds.”

——————–

1997: A deposition of Robert Friend, brother of Scientologist Roxanne Friend was posted this week. He describer Roxanne’s treatment by Scientology, including imprisonment. “A: There was a period of about six or so days prior to leaving for Florida where we made every effort to protect Roxanne from herself. That she had gotten herself into such a state that she was, in my opinion and her friend’s opinion, was in serious jeopardy, both from her seeming uncanny ability at that time to create confrontation with people she didn’t even know, and also because of her erratic behavior of getting picked up by the police, or institutionalized or getting in a car accident. Q: During that – For what period of time was Roxanne not allowed to make telephone calls? A: I would say about a six, seven day period prior to leaving for Florida. [snip] Q: During that time, during the watch prior to the trip was Roxanne ever physically restrained from leaving the apartment? A: I know for sure I restrained her on one occasion. Q: Did anyone else restrain her from leaving the apartment? A: I remember Jim, I believe, Jim Sydejko blocking the door on one occasion. Q: Did the other male staff member from Flag ever physically restrain her from leaving the apartment? A: My recollection is that he was, Roxanne wasn’t aware of his presence until we actually made the trip. [snip] A: After, I believe it was about after two weeks, I was led to understand that Roxanne had been complaining that she didn’t want to be there. And there was a last sort of effort to get her to try and have auditing to handle the psychosis. Q: Who told you that she didn’t want to be there? A: A staff member whose responsibility deals with ethics.”

——————–

“My opinion is that the ‘true believer’ type personality is as much, if not more, the reason why some people end up in cults, than the ‘mind control’ explanation.”

US senators want answers about killed investigation into clemency for Scientologist

Tony Ortega — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:50:24 +0000

[Senators Richard Blumenthal and Ruben Gallego]

TODAY AT SUBSTACK: If you’ve signed up for free emails at Substack, you will receive today’s feature story at your inbox: Two US senators are pressing for answers about how the DOJ killed an investigation into how clemency was granted to a fraudster who happens to be a Scientology donor. ALSO: Mark Bunker is breaking ground in Clearwater! [What is this Substack thing, anyway?]

——————–

Technology Cocktail

“The cells, as staunch conservatives, idiotically believe, it seems, that anything which was painful will always be dangerous, and they inhibit not only a repetition of the action in the exterior world of now but they inhibit a re-experiencing of a painful action in the interior world of then. Actually the analytical mind, by accurate computation and recall and with far, far more accuracy, contains a mechanism which inhibits repeating an action once painful. It computes even faster than the reactive mind reacts, once the analytical mind has concluded, for instance, that putting a hand on the stove gets the hand burned. It is as if Man has evolved a highly competent captain in the analytical mind but the crew, uneducated and silly, still will not trust him, even though he is fantastically trustworthy and far more able to prevent disaster and gather benefits for the crew than the crew could. Anything the crew, as we might consider the cells, think should be enforced is enforced only through the computers and switchboards of the analytical mind. Thus came about the entire misconception that the personality was built up of neuroses.” — L. Ron Hubbard, 1950

——————–

“All sorts of disastrous things will occur If you become an expert Dianetic auditor. Then we’re all in trouble because we will start curing everything, you know, and knocking out psychosis and neurosis and doing all those poor doctors out of their jobs. And you don’t want to do any doctors out of their jobs. But I say this in all sincerity, this leads you in to the fact that you can heal, and that is not your profession. You’re trying to clear people, and these processes will heal people, even badly run. They’ll cure migraine headaches and arthritis and lumbosis and medicosis and all kinds of wild illnesses. But it doesn’t necessarily follow that it’s uniform. In other words, you don’t get one for one for one, you see, for the excellent reason that the whole reactive mind is the reason for very severe illnesses. It’s the whole mind. And you can key out parts of it and make somebody quite well, you see. You can key out some very specific illness like that and have it go away but don’t be too surprised if it comes back. So therefore, ‘cure’ is not well used. It’s ill-advised as a word.” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 21, 1966

——————–

“WWIII: The 18 July statement of Russia that it would back Arabs against Israel after an apparent squeeze play on Nasser is the first whiff of World War III. Yesterday’s news items of Soviet Rocket tests north of Hawaii is a confirming item. The Soviet has the US will to fight very knocked out internally in the US and is now following up to pressure the Middle East and the Pacific as a strategic action. They have of course misgauged the US reaction and a belligerent response wrongly done can tip over the cold war into a hot one. This is mentioned because it becomes a factor in our operations to be alert, preserve reserves, and beef up UK and EU.” — The Commodore, July 21, 1970

——————–

“He is part LRH-Tech genius in some ways but he has also a lot of Justin Craig the Gangbanger, Ex-Con, and thug still in him. I can grant beingness to all of that, we are all works in progress, and he admits he has not regained all of the wisdom or charisma or writing ability that LRH had. He may be the same being, he may not, but his universe and his personality is not at all the same.”

——————–

1996: Tony Bosnakoudis posted an announcement that Greece has ordered the closing of the Scientology mission in Athens. “The 61-page Inference Report is the product of an investigation that started on October 1995. On October 10, 1995 almost 4,200 citizens signed and submitted a Memorandum to the Prefecture asking for the shutting down of KEFE [the Scientology mission]. After of what was expressed above, the Committee has the opinion, that the Association deviated from its founding purposes, as stated in its 13-10-1983 Statutes for the following, in summary, reasons: “1. It exercises economic and trade activity, although it is non-profit. 2. It appears with religious characteristics although this is not provided for in its Statutes, with possibly for-profit intention or for enforcement of its presence. 3. It exercises financial, psychological and spiritual exploitation of its members. “The Committee, after the above and of personal estimation and having, in parallel, in mind that the theory, which the Association is supporting, is being received negatively in Greece, as well as in the international domain, according to the exposed data, suggests its dissolution.”

After Clearwater cave, Scientology breaks ground on L. Ron Hubbard Hall on August 1

Tony Ortega — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 18:50:31 +0000

TODAY AT SUBSTACK: If you’ve signed up for free emails at Substack, you will receive today’s feature story at your inbox: Only a month after Clearwater’s council voted to turn over a downtown street to Scientology, church leader David Miscavige is wasting no time, announcing that on August 1 he’ll preside over a ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the future L. Ron Hubbard Hall. [What is this Substack thing, anyway?]

Technology Cocktail

“Engrams and the reactive mind derange and aberrate the ability and body of the patient only through the abilities of the analytical mind. The reactive mind can only
push and shove against the analytical mind to make action possible. The analytical mind ‘remembers’ by returning some of its attention units to past moments either on a fast network conceptually or upon the central time track itself. The reactive mind, armed with pain, shoves into those networks and makes some of this returning impossible. Thereby the analytical mind is said to ‘have forgotten’ but the truth is, the data is right there but blocked. The reactive mind makes it difficult to remember something, for actual pain would be felt by the body if that thing were remembered. In dianetic processes this matter is cared for and the analytical mind can get by and deintensify these moments of pain which are the whips of the reactive mind.” — L. Ron Hubbard, 1950

——————–

“I got in a silly cycle. I don’t know, a trillion, trillennia, trillennia, trillennia ago. And every time they had a war, why, I went out. I would either be a pilot in, or commander of, or somebody connected with an interceptor squadron on the outside of the capital. Societies used to last longer than they do now. And it wasn’t anything for a society to go a billion years without much change. But, every time the society would get into trouble, usually with the same adversaries, why, that was the drop of the hat. That was the signal. The whistle had gone and you would go down and snappily report to the Seventeenth Interceptor Squadron, which had in charge of it the protection of the capital, don’t you see? And the enemy would come over and you would take off in an interceptor and you would go up to the center of the airport and you would either shoot down the attacking plane or be shot down and always at the center of the same airport — for a billion years. ” — L. Ron Hubbard, July 20, 1961

——————–

“The ‘alarming increasing debt’ stat of the US is a negative stat. Actually it parallels almost exactly the decrease of the value of the dollar AND SO HASN’T RISEN IN 53 YEARS! Yet the ‘financial wizards’ in the world bank use it to reduce credit in the US which will bring on a depression which lets them grab the securities and properties cheaply. The eggheads in charge continually indulge in false stats or think negative stats are useful. And ignore the psychiatric negative stat of increasing insanity and crime which parallels cash received by governments and psychiatrists. But you can only prove how bad something is by negative stats. You can’t really determine production. Imagine having how many Ethics orders put on one as his stat! Negative ideal scene — One who flunks is penalized without regard to value or production. US Citizens have that stat! And any other country!” — The Commodore, July 20, 1970

——————–

“We have auditors who see the Tech as a business, as money making machine and disagree on who is who and what is what. Which Ls are the original, which are the OT levels, etc. We have auditors who invent processes, who acknowledge usurpers, auditors who practice the Code of Silence and cover for each other, who lie. And we also see PCs sometimes who are not qualified or are illegal and are nevertheless audited for the sake of money and later we see the results. Or PCs who just wanted a status but not work hard on the level. Is that the way the independent field is supposed to operate? If so, then those who think so, deserve what they get.”

——————–

1995: The Tonbridge Courier, in Kent England reported this week that harassment of people who cooperated with the producers of The Big Story expose on Scientology. “Legal investigators acting for the cult have twice been to the [Richard and Judy] Price’s house – the last time at nearly midnight when a letter was pushed through the door and a man was heard running away. The couple reported the incidents to police. ‘It was very frightening – I don’t want unsolicited people at the house late at night,’ Judy said. ‘I couldn’t sleep because of it and I now feel very insecure. I know that we are opposed to Scientology but this is a free country and we have a right to speak our minds. We have done nothing unlawful – we have just tried to get Richard’s sister out of it.'” Peter Mansell, church spokesman, made this chilling response. “‘I don’t think it was anything personal,’ he said. ‘It was probably just a warning for the benefit of those that had been interviewed.'”
