@Karakorum
Just for curiosity sake, I was wondering if you happened to see any of the multiple podcasts that Mike has been on?
I've started to follow them, but only rcently since mid-May or so. Previously I've treid hard to get away from anything scn related.
I'm a strong follower of all the exscn-related podcasts and YouTube videos; Chris Shelton's, Karen's, Aaron's, etc.
Even some of the indie stuff I have watched because of the guest who is on or just wanting to know other viewpoints, or that that Andy Nolch guy was bizarrely entertaining... like a car crash, can't watch can't look away.
I trust Aaron, I also agree with the vast majority of his opinions. I think Rinder might be one of the few issues we disagree on. He did change my mind a bit on that front, because he stated that Rinder actually took what amounted to a pay cut to be on Leah's show. This made me respect Mike more than previously, thugh I'm still not ok with him.
I agree with some of what Karen says, but I need to say we have a very different outlook because we come from very different situations, age groups etc. I'd say she is very representative of the "old-timers" who joind themselves, for her it was a spiritual journey taht was all about the tech. I'm a born-inside, for me it was a journey inside Co$ administration, because I felt I don't have any other life career options.
Its hard for me to be objective about Rom Miscavige, because he is in so many ways similar to my own grandfather.
I don't have an angle on Chris and I was not aware Nolch existed before reading your post.
If you do know something specific that he knows, because of your intimate insider knowledge, as others have requested, it would be great if you would share it.
My reasoning is as follows:
1. I know Mike ran OSA, which is public knowledge.
2. I know OSA was responsible for coverups of expelled members with troubling information - this is pretty much public knowledge as well.
3. The only insider info I have is further confirmation of no.2 - I was aware that OSA was doing some sort of operation against a person expelled and declared as a result of one of my investigations. I was not privy to any details, OSA mostly did not like our dept that much.
4. There must be more cases of rape, child abuse and similar crimes that are not out of the limitation period. Too many people mentioned or hinted at that. You have mentioned two others yourself.
Thus given the points 1-4, my conclusion is:
If anyone else was expelled or punished by Co$ for crimes such as child molesting (or was a witness/victim and blew or was expelled), then I reckon OSA must have been made aware of the fact, kept track of the people and ran some coverup actions to keep the thing quiet. As Mike headed OSA, he must have been aware of all of them.
This is all. No secret-squirrel insider data, just reasoning based on well known information.
There could be someone out there right now reading these posts who knew and respected you (or me) while in, who would now be surprised that you are out. It might just be that little final push they would need to look further and face the horrible truths we all had to go through to break the outer layer of that onion peel.
This is why in my introductory post I have included an image that, for people who knew me well, would allow them to realize who I am and contact me. So far, none of them did. Perhaps they are not on the forums, or just wish to avoid me even now that we are both out.
Oh, and on an unrelated subject: What have
you done to expose and document Scientology's abuses
@Karakorum?
I'm speaking out against what I believe is wrong within scientology, including on this very forum. I have also tried to contact a more famous ex-scn person that I trust (and this point I will not say who she/he is) to explore the possibility of sharing my story on their platform, which would reach far more people than I could otherwise (no reply yet).
Would you have ideas on what more can be done on my end? Please let me know.
