It was a hatchet job as expected but I'm not mad about it at all, it's TV! I'm now officially the guy that claimed Scientology killed Hoffman with no evidence to back it up and they cut out the part where I said it was possible they did but that the tactic used was more in line with how the CIA kill people and how they created scientology but of course they cut that out of it. Hey at least they spelled my name right and put my website on the screen! People will get the real story when my own film on Hollywood, The Spellcasters comes out. For the record, I never claimed Scientology killed Hoffman, this is why they never show a clip of me actually saying that because I didn't.

Ex-Scientologist Carmen Llywelyn, who recently wrote an article called "Why I Left Scientology" for Gawker that went viral, joins us to tell her story. Carmen talks about being raised Christian in the Bible Belt, then coming to LA, marrying the actor Jason Lee at a young age, and finding herself deep in the heart of Scientology. After years of harassment and isolation, Carmen has finally found the strength to talk about her experience.

Surviving Scientology Radio Episode 32 with Aaron Smith-Levin
Aaron Smith-Levin continues his fascinating and wide ranging excursion into the world of Scientology from the eyes of a Sea Org member. Aaron opens by describing how he realized that the highly dysfunctional operating conditions of the six Los Angeles Orgs are a reflection of the same dysfunctional conditions at Int Base. Aaron then shockingly describes how Flag “handled” the medical emergency that befell a long term Scientologist who was routing into Flag.

London Thinks – What Has Scientology Got To Hide?
The Church of Scientology has a problem with free speech, according to three speakers who have dared to question the Church’s self-certification of itself as a religion and the claim made by its apostles, Tom Cruise and John Travolta, that it is a force for good. N.B. We have contacted the London branch of the Church of Scientology to send a representative, but have not had a reply from them. We’ll have an open chair on stage if they change their mind. Streamed live on August 4, 2015.

I,m kind of worried about going down that road. The current fervor over the extremism related to religion in this country has me puzzled. How do we as a society pick which is good and which is bad? Do we even have that right?

In this case the IRS gave the Cof$ it's tax exemption after the Supreme Court of the US had already said due to it's quid pro quo way of operating it was not entitled to an exemption. The IRS also violated the Constitution by favoring the Cof$ over other churches by allowing them to use fixed donations. Other churches would have their tax exemption revoked if they tried to do that. So in this case, I don't have a problem with "...going down that road."
