When Leah Remini published her 2015 memoir, she held back a chapter about Tom Cruise and his connection to #Scientology's history of spying and retaliation. Now, Leah says it's time to release that material, and she's given it to the Underground Bunker. @LeahRemini @TomCruise

A month from today, a well-known Haunted House complex north of Tampa will open for its 2025 season. And Florida Halloween fans may not know it, but their scare dollars will be helping #Scientology build its massive new shrine to founder L. Ron Hubbard in Clearwater!

The Underground Bunker’s go-to movie critic is Luke Y. Thompson, who also has been writing about wrestling for decades. We asked for his thoughts on today’s surprising news out of Clearwater, that Terry Gene Bollea, a/k/a Hulk Hogan, had died of a heart attack.

Alex Barnes-Ross, a former London #Scientology staffer who has done wonders for raising awareness of his former employer's abuses in the UK, has once again visited California, and this time he tells us he made a point of visiting others who have been harmed by this organization.

Thanks to a new Netflix treatment, the 1998 disappearance of Amy Bradley is getting new interest. Her brother Brad, meanwhile, has suspected that #Scientology might have something to do with his sister's fate. He reached out to us, and we turned to the experts.

EXCLUSIVE: Leah Remini is revealing what thousands of internal #Scientology documents spell out, that the attorneys the church hires for legal warfare are following unalterable and unethical religious doctrine, and that it's time for courts and the government to put a stop to it.

In #Scientology, becoming sick is an ethical failing that you get punished for. So, many Scientologists would rather avoid getting treatment than admit something is wrong, and sometimes with tragic results. Val Ross explains how this played out in her life.

Isaac Hayes III is getting a lot of attention today for repeating something he said years ago about how his father quit South Park — but he’s conveniently ignoring some new #Scientology documents that contradict what he’s saying.

yikes, the fear-based control stuff is absolutely wild. it's crazy how effective these psychological manipulation tactics actually are on people.

Phil Jones tells us about another thing members of #Scientology all fear: Being called down for a briefing. ALSO: Making sure your 13-year-old understands the power of L. Ron Hubbard 'technology'!

Patty Moher takes us into her time as a spy for the Church of #Scientology, and its war with one of its all time greatest enemies: Boston businessman Bob Minton!

A casting agent is holding seminars for 8- to 18-year-olds on how to audition in Hollywood. What she isn't saying is that she's a longtime #Scientology member and FSM who makes money getting new people into the church. Her ex explains why parents should be very concerned.

#Scientology claims that a 1922 map proves it already owns the roadbed it wants the city of Clearwater, Florida to vacate for a new auditorium project. But Clearwater is pushing back, and in a new letter argues that Scientology is glossing over some things that can’t be ignored.

#Scientology's new OT Phenomena are here, and they offer a glimmer of hope that this once-vaunted feature may be turning a corner! It includes the first honest-to-goodness ghost encounter they've published in a long, long time. And we hope it’s a sign of things to come!

Phil Jones is back with a fun look at the thing that strikes fear into any #Scientology member paying for courses at his or her local org!

Is the reincarnation of #Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard really sitting in a Tennessee jail awaiting trial? His followers believe so, and send him money every month. And now he's rewarded them with his greatest insight ever: Why Clears aren't what they're cracked up to be!

Marc and Claire Headley are constantly attacked by #Scientology online, but even they were surprised at the church's latest attempt to paint Claire as a criminal. And from a familiar disgraced journalist who has become the church's go-to smear merchant. Yes, Claire got Blossered!

#Scientology has notified Clearwater, Florida, that it will be re-applying to take over a downtown street as part of its 'L. Ron Hubbard Hall' project. And this time, the church says, the city better gets its head around the notion that things are going to be a lot different.

An employment tribunal in the UK has posted a decision which involved the Church of #Scientology. A man there claimed he had been fired for religious discrimination. The tribunal didn't buy it, and it only illustrated how the church puts its members in terrible positions.

Laura Loomer is so angry with Pam Bondi over the Epstein mess, she targeted President Trump’s attorney general yesterday with perhaps the ultimate diss. Loomer resorted to the S word. And we can't help wondering, will #Scientology become an issue among Trump's most ardent fans?

We've written numerous times over several years about Pam Bondi's close ties to #Scientology. But we've seen no evidence that Bondi is a Scientologist herself. Not sure where @LauraLoomer is getting her information from. tonyortega.substack.com/p/scientology-…
