Ever wondered how a controversial organization like Scientology manages its complex web of internal and external relations? In our latest episode, we sit down with former Scientology executive Mike Rinder to dissect a revealing spy document from 2007 called the "Internet Handling Program." We promise you'll gain intriguing insights into how Scientology's bureaucratic inefficiencies stem from David Miscavige's micromanagement and the relentless working conditions endured by Sea Org members. This episode is your ticket to understanding the church's covert operations and internal challenges.
Join us as we explore the bizarre and often harsh realities of life within Scientology's upper echelons. Mike shares eye-opening anecdotes about surreal punishments like emptying an aeration pond by hand, the chaos of managing media flaps, and the manipulation of reports and directives from within the isolated environment of "the hole." Together, we navigate through Scientology's attempts to control its internet image and marketing strategies, peeling back the layers of their systematic yet flawed efforts to dominate online traffic and neutralize critics.
Our conversation dives deep into the camaraderie among Sea Org members, the meticulous efforts behind L. Ron Hubbard's correspondence unit, and the financial dynamics within the Church of Scientology. We critically analyze the Xenu story's glaring inconsistencies and draw parallels with other cults, providing a gripping narrative peppered with humor and critical reflection. Whether you're curious about the internal workings of Scientology or fascinated by the lengths taken to maintain its facade, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a world shrouded in secrecy and controversy.

Send us a text We uncover how Scientology is systematically erasing evidence of David Miscavige's control structure, including the recent removal of "Matters of RTC Concern" from their official websites after decades of existence. • The RTC "triangle" on Scientology org boards has been quietly removed, eliminating visual evidence of how David Miscavige can bypass all command channels • Scientology's pattern of revisionism includes erasing knowledge of FBI raids and high-profile departures within the organization • Int Base manufacturing was relocated to Los Angeles to counter human trafficking allegations after our lawsuit highlighted staff living and working in the same location • Weekly room inspections called "Clean Ship Program" allowed Ethics Officers to search personal belongings under the guise of cleanliness checks • Security at Int Base confiscated personal items, including night vision goggles found by Marc, with guards known to cherry-pick possessions from people who escaped • Scientology manipulates immigration status and work permits to control international Sea Org members, leaving them vulnerable if they attempt to leave If you have questions about Scientology secrets you'd like us to explore in future episodes, email claire@blownforgood.com or leave a comment on this video.

Send us a text Marc and Claire Headley explore the eerie similarities between Apple TV's hit show "Severance" and their 15 years as executives in Scientology's Sea Organization headquarters, finding the dystopian workplace drama to be a near-perfect parallel to their actual experiences. • The show's core concept of "innies" and "outies" mirrors Sea Org life where members exist almost exclusively in work mode • Founder "Kier Egan" clearly references L. Ron Hubbard, complete with busts, memorized quotes, and office spaces in every location • "Break room" interrogations using the "woe meter" directly parallel Scientology's "ethics" interviews using the E-meter • Clay demonstrations in "Severance" identical to mandatory clay modeling in Scientology courses • "Wellness sessions" in the show reflect Scientology's TR bullbaiting where members must remain emotionless during provocations • Scientology deliberately separates spouses by transferring them and falsely telling each that the other wants divorce • The show's portrayal of surveys mirrors Scientology's exhaustive use of surveys for measuring public perception If you'd like to support the channel, check out the BFG merch store with Xenu-themed products, or pick up Marc's book "Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology" in hardback, Kindle, or Audible formats.
