Is David Miscavige boarding up orgs in anticipation of inauguration riots?

[Inauguration day: More “planetary bullbait”?]

Our readers continue to send in updates about the state of orgs around the US, some of which are boarded up. (Orgs overseas appear unaffected.)

Does Shelly Miscavige know it’s Christmas 2020?

 
Two years ago we decided that on Christmas Day it would be a good time to review what we knew about the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige, wife to Scientology’s leader David Miscavige, who vanished from Scientology’s Gold Base in summer 2005. We wondered if Shelly, kept hidden in a remote mountain compound, even knew it was Christmas. Two years later, we think it’s a good time to post that story again, since it still represents what we know about Shelly’s whereabouts.

Political dupe of the day: KC councilman helps Scientology front group with ‘murder’ signs

 
In 1980, Scientology was in big trouble.

‘Tears of joy’: Scientology boasts that leader David Miscavige attended Clearwater event

 
Our thanks to the tipster who sent us scans of the new Source magazine, Scientology’s in-house publication for its Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida.

And besides the usual drivel about promoting the high-level and expensive processes at Flag, this issue contained a surprise: Evidence that leader David Miscavige made a recent appearance at a Flag graduation event at a time when some Scientology orgs are boarded up, international events have been put on hold, and Miscavige himself has been pursued without luck by process servers.

Oof: Jane Doe #1’s own attorneys flubbed and ID’d her and her IP address in court documents

 
For the second time Jane Doe #1’s real identity has been included in a court document in the lawsuit against Danny Masterson and the Church of Scientology. Like last time, it has taken at least a week to fix this error, but this time it was so much worse.
