#Scientology puts out the dopest videos about how great it is to be a Scientologist, and we can only help them spread the word. ALSO: The IAS date is out, and we can hardly wait for the new Apostate Alex protest. And yes, there's a hype video for that, too!

We are not protesting Scientology’s belief system and we don’t want to cause disruption to their event. But we do want to do what we can to raise awareness of what’s going on behind closed doors. tonyortega.substack.com/p/video-you-kn… Tony Ortega #IASProtest #EastGrinstead

Incredibly, just 2 weeks after the Tampa Bay area experienced record storm surge as Hurricane Helene passed by on its way north, another major storm is now aiming for a possible direct hit on #Scientology's Flag Land Base. Can OTs use their super powers to deflect it?

Tomorrow, Hurricane Milton may run smack into #Scientology’s Florida headquarters, the Flag Land Base in Clearwater. And professional ham hock and major Scientology donor Grant Cardone chose this moment to make an even bigger fool of himself and get a roasting on social media.

"A simple acknowledgement they messed up and apology for their handling of the situation would go a long way in restoring trust in local government," tonyortega.substack.com/p/scientology-… #EastGrinstead East Grinstead Town Council Tony Ortega

How much did Riley Keough leave in their 'memoir' that her mother Lisa Marie Presley might have said about her #Scientology involvement and her fiery exit from it in 2014, a story Lisa told several of us personally? We go over every mention of the organization in this short book.

This was an excellent article by you Tony, I wouldn’t have read the book, so your insight was very interesting. So sad that drugs, alcohol and $cientology made their lives a mess.

We knew one of the friends of the Underground Bunker preparing for Hurricane Milton's impact was former Deputy Commodore of #Scientology, Hana Whitfield. And when we called yesterday to check on her, she had much more serious news for us.

NEW: Today a judge granted #Scientology's motion in Jane Doe's forced-marriage case as the church tries to take advantage of a confidential complaint against a Philly attorney that was leaked against the wishes of the unnamed victim. Meghann Cuniff reports from the court.

#Scientology has a new issue of Impact magazine out, and it’s time for some whale watching! Just a couple of weeks before this year’s IAS bash a new list of donors has been released, and we always like to see who's adding to church leader David Miscavige’s mountainous slush fund.

With another IAS gala on the way at #Scientology's UK headquarters, Alex Barnes-Ross wanted to know what the church and local officials were getting up to. The result is a release of emails that once again shows Scientology's sneaky ways. ALSO: Hype videos for the gala!

Regardless of Scientology’s attempts to stifle our freedom of speech and right to protest, I remain committed to minimising disruption. tonyortega.substack.com/p/emails-scien… Tony Ortega #EastGrinstead #IASProtest

#Scientology convinces its members that it has all the answers, that it has superior ideas about education, and that it is creating a better civilization. And Bruce Hines has another devastating piece about how he and his young son learned the hard way that it was all so untrue.

Rebecca Minkoff gave a pretty classic celebrity #Scientology performance this week, telling the 'Real Housewives of New York City' that she wasn't 'uncomfortable' talking about the church, but then offering blatant lies about it with responses designed to shut down discussion.

Tony Ortega Scientologists don’t seem to understand that refusing to simply talk to people who have questions and acting cagey only adds to the curiosity. Blatantly lying about Scientology only succeeds in reinforcing the negative perception.

#Scientology 'Diamond Meritorious' ($5 million) donor Ivan Gaspari is on trial today in Lugano, Switzerland, accused of stealing $7 million from billionaire Scientologist Trish Duggan. But Gaspari insists the money was part of a scheme to donate even more to the church. Bizarre!

Controversy has erupted over former President Trump's use of Stanley Kubrick's 1987 anti-war film 'Full Metal Jacket,' which Stanley's daughter Vivian says her dad would have approved of. But the press covering it seems to have forgotten that Vivian is a nutty #Scientology loon.

Even more good news is coming out of #Scientology's UK headquarters ahead of next week's big event there. Finally, decades after the publication of founder L. Ron Hubbard's books 'Dianetics' and 'A History of Man,' a solution has been found for clamminess.

One of the strangest criminal prosecutions we’ve ever seen, involving accusations between two of #Scientology’s most wealthy donors, concluded yesterday when a trial in Lugano, Switzerland resulted in a 'Diamond Meritorious' donor being sentenced to 5.5 years in prison.

Um, kaboom.
