 Mario Feninger It involves a man who is renowned for his skills at the piano, a teacher who has been hailed for his technique by such well known students as Chick Corea and Tom Constanten. And now, at the age of 90, the man’s church has compelled him to cut off all contact with a pupil who had been helping to support him financially. Why? Because that pupil dared to walk away from Scientology. Continue reading Scientology's "Disconnection" Policy: Music Lovers, This One Will Break Your Heart  The film being celebrated tonight at Anne Archer’s house, and showing tomorrow night at USC [BREAKING: See below for an important new story that aired this morning in Australia about a young woman reportedly held against her will by Scientology after having a mental breakdown.] Roger Friedman over at Showbiz 411 put up an interesting story on Friday. He said that Anne Archer’s “Artists for Human Rights” — a Scientology front group — was going to host a cocktail party for documentary filmmaker Rebecca Richman Cohen, and he wondered if she was aware that Archer and her Scientologist husband, Terry Jastrow, were connected with the church. But it was something else Friedman said in the article that really grabbed our attention. He mentioned that Anne Archer’s son Tommy Davis “is the chief celebrity wrangler for Scientology.” We wondered if Roger just hadn’t heard the news we reported last October that Tommy has left his job as Scientology’s chief spokesman, and that according to both John Sweeney and Lawrence Wright in their recent books, Tommy has also left Scientology’s “Sea Org” and is living in Austin, Texas. But things got even more interesting when one of our tipsters told us about a cryptic conversation overheard in Los Angeles a few days ago, and we’re wondering if Tommy might not be making an appearance in LA after all. Here’s what we know… Advertisement

This is the biggest Oscars night for Scientology in many years, and we have been assured by sources who would know that the show will be watched at the International Base by the church’s “Sea Org” members. (And as if we’d signed Sea Org contracts ourselves, tonight’s show is apt to feel a billion years long.) What will Int Base be watching for? The same things we will: John Travolta is a presenter this year, and The Master is up for three very important awards: Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. Can you feel the excitement!? Advertisement
Nichols reached new heights of fame after her role as Special Agent Nadia Yassir in 24‘s sixth season. But she’s also reached new heights in her career as a Scientologist. As you’ll see in an exciting e-mail that was sent out to church members, Marisol has reached the pinnacle of spiritual achievement, and she’s going to speak at her graduation on Friday at the Hollywood Celebrity Centre! Continue reading Marisol Nichols prepares for her greatest role: Scientology space cadet!  ALSO IN TODAY’S POST: Is there a subliminal message from Lisa Marie Presley on the back of this T-Shirt? See below! Jon, this week we wanted to ask you about one of Scientology’s most hurtful and notorious legacies — its history of going after people with what it calls “Fair Game.” Continue reading Scientology Mythbusting with Jon Atack: Fair Game!
Its House co-sponsor is Jason Murphey, a young Republican representative known for his commitment to modernizing government and ethics reform. We talked to him yesterday about the bill’s chances in the House, as well as what he’s seen from Scientology as lobbying efforts to prevent the bill from becoming law.
We’ve now reached the chapter titled “The ‘Demons’,” and after a superfluous flourish, L. Ron Hubbard gets to his subject: that his “engrams” explain what mankind had thought of as demons plaguing the mind. In case the reader might think he was being literal, he writes “There are no real demons in dianetics” in italics. “That’s underscored in case some mystic runs around telling people that a new science of the mind believes in demons.” After the disclaimer, however, Hubbard then goes about describing how his engram-demons are capable of demonic possession, sapping a person of his or her ability to access the self-agency of their analytical minds. We’re all just slaves to our engrams, apparently.  Eric Tenorio 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 year, we published the first damning accusations by Narconon Arrowhead’s former president, Luke Catton, who has become a vocal source about Narconon’s methods (and he has a new book out). And now, another formerly high-ranking Narconon employee has gone public with damning new allegations that are quickly having an effect. Because of Eric Tenorio’s allegations about the way Narconon has certified its employees as drug counselors, some of those certifications are being revoked as a new investigation is being launched, the Underground Bunker has learned.

The Hall was always part of the plans dreamed up for the mecca in the 1990s, but we wondered if waiting for the Hall to be built will set back the opening of Super Power even further. We don’t know about that yet, but one of our tipsters did us a favor by visiting the site of the future Hall to snap some photos yesterday. After the jump, our tipster’s report on what the place looks like. Continue reading Super Power: No Signs of Construction for New Hall  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 bill becomes law, it will take affect on November 1. And if that’s the case, Scientology’s flagship drug rehab facility, Narconon Arrowhead, could be in big trouble. Earlier today, we talked to Senator Ivester about his bill and its chances of becoming law. Continue reading Oklahoma Drug Rehab Bill Passes Senate: Scientology’s Narconon Days Numbered?
