このコンテンツについて

 Marc Headley worked at Scientology’s 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 Scientology’s 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.© 2023 Blown for Good: Behind The Iron Curtain of Scientology ノンフィクション犯罪 社会科学

    Marc and Claire Headley share the behind-the-scenes story of how they self-published "Blown for Good," their exposé of Scientology's International Headquarters, despite the organization's history of blocking critical books.

    • Marc started posting stories online in 2006-2007 under the handle "blown for good"
    • Decided to self-publish in 2009 after learning how Scientology threatened publishers with costly litigation
    • Created their own publishing company to protect themselves from legal threats
    • Worked with former Scientology staff who had escaped, including editors and designers
    • Balanced Scientology terminology with explanations to make the book accessible to all readers
    • Created a 40-page glossary to explain Scientology's unique language
    • Cut the manuscript from 800+ pages to under 400 pages
    • Designed and included a detailed map of the International Headquarters
    • Initially printed 5,000 hardcover copies
    • Fulfilled orders from their living room while managing full-time jobs and raising young children
    • Later added a paperback edition and included the police report documenting Marc's escape
    • Book became a significant resource for understanding abuses at Scientology's secretive base

  • Scientology's KSW: The Mind Control Blueprint - Scientology Secrets #9

    Scientology's KSW: The Mind Control Blueprint - Scientology Secrets #9

    Marc and Claire Headley take a deep dive into Scientology's critical "Keeping Scientology Working" (KSW) policy, revealing how it creates a no-win situation where followers are trapped in a cycle of self-blame while protecting Scientology from criticism.

    • KSW establishes ten points that form Scientology's mental control system
    • The policy includes Hubbard's chilling statement: "We'd rather have you dead than incapable."
    • Every Scientology course begins with studying this policy, reinforcing the conditioning
    • KSW creates "fanatical Scientology" with no room for moderate practice or questioning
    • The policy uses apocalyptic language about saving the planet to justify extreme dedication
    • Scientology redefines words like "reasonable" to control members' thinking
    • The policy serves as the justification for disconnection and attacking critics
    • Hubbard portrays himself as uniquely able to "rise above the bank" unlike ordinary humans
    • When Scientology doesn't work, KSW ensures members blame their "misunderstood words" or application, never the technology itself

    We're excited to announce the launch of the "Foundation Feed" series on the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation YouTube channel, starting tomorrow at 2 PM Mountain Standard Time. Please subscribe to help us reach our goal of 10,000 subscribers so we can host YouTube fundraisers to support our work helping those escaping Scientology.
