One day after I videotaped a picket of Scientology, my neighborhood was covered with leaflets smearing me. Shortly after, two Scientologists showed up at my home to picket me.
3/26/00 - When members of the LMT held a small picket in front of the Ft. Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, they were quickly outnumbered by Scientologists who had been holding a meeting in one of their buildings. The Scientologists try to provoke an incident to get us arrested.
7/2/99 - I attempt to shoot a little video of a Scientology event and am surrounded by three Scientologists who try to intimidate me with a Scientology technique called "bullbaiting."
1982 - The son of Scientology's charlatan founder appears on a morning show to debate a Scientology spokesman, Robert Vaughn Young. Young would leave Scientology a few years later and also become a vocal critic of the group.
5/14/07 - After Panorama's brilliant expose on Scientology, Mike Rinder does damage control for the cult while former member Bruce Hines tells the truth.
1981 - Based on the real experience of a high school class in Palo Alto, CA in April 1967, whose teacher wanted to explain the rise of the Nazi party to his students.

3/20/06 - After South Park did their scathing show on Scientology, Tom Cruise applied pressure on Paramount to try to make the show go away. At first, he succeeded but when MI:3 did not do as well as expected, Cruise got the boot and South Park was back.
Andreas Heldal-Lund, the webmaster of the most important site critical of Scientology (www.xenu.net) came to L.A. to visit from his home country of Norway. When Andreas joined a picket, he was greeted by a Scientologist with a camera who wanted to interview him. I taped virtually the entire encounter.
