Blown for Good: Scientology ExposedAuthor: Marc Headley & Claire Headley
Marc Headley worked at Scientologys secret desert compound, which houses all Scientology management, for 15 years. The 500-acre property is located deep in the California desert. The local townspeople were told lectures and films were made there. But is that all that was happening? It is the location of a multi-million dollar home for L. Ron Hubbard, built two decades after his death. It is the home of Scientologys current leader, David Miscavige. So what really happens at the Int Base? Are the stories on the internet true? How does Scientology conduct management of its day-to-day operations? Could stories of armed guards, weapons, staff beatings, and razor wire fences be true? If so, how could a facility like this exist in modern-day America? Hundreds of staff tried to escape over the years. Some succeeded but were never seen or heard of again, and most failed. Why were people kept here? What really went on at the headquarters of Scientology? This is the story of what happened behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology.

Debbie Cook Breaks Ranks and Exposes David Miscavige's Torturous Deeds
Episode 10

Send us Fan MailOne email. Three weeks. A lawsuit. That’s the timeline Debbie Cook triggered when she quietly hit “send” to a list of high-level Scientologists on New Year’s Eve 2011. Debbie wasn’t a random critic. She spent decades inside the Sea Org, ran Scientology’s Flag operation in Clearwater for years, and knew exactly how to write in a way that Scientologists would actually keep reading.We walk you through her message line by line, translating the Scientology jargon into plain English and pulling out the core claims: nonstop fundraising that isn’t supported by L. Ron Hubbard policy, IAS donation pressure and ballooning reserves, Ideal Org building projects that prioritize optics over auditing and training, and “tech changes” that push OTs into expensive redo programs. Along the way, we talk about why quoting Hubbard matters inside the belief system, how “eligibility” threats keep OT7 members compliant, and why telling people to withdraw donations is one of the fastest ways to provoke retaliation.Then we contrast the careful tone of the email with what Debbie later describes under oath in her court testimony: allegations of physical intimidation, violence, and the Hole at Scientology’s international base. We also connect the money story to a bigger financial reality former executives describe: massive undelivered services liabilities that incentivize more fundraising, more events, and more pay-to-stay control.If you care about Scientology exposed reporting, cult recovery, and how high-control groups weaponize money and fear, this one will stick with you.
