1. I have some important news to share.

News that has frustrated and angered me.
2. In the rape trial of celebrity Scientologist Danny Masterson this morning, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office revealed that Scientology has covertly obtained a significant amount of criminal discovery materials.
3. Scientology has no reason to have criminal discovery materials in its possession.

No reason at all.

Scientology, which SHOULD be a co-defendant in this trial, has repeatedly lied, saying it has no covert involvement in this trial.
4. But longtime Scientology attorney Vicki Podberesky made a colossal error last week.

Vicki, who receives her orders directly from Captain David Miscavige, emailed the DA's office to complain about how Scientology was being treated in the trial. Photo of Scientology attorn...
5. But when Vicki was sending the email, she made a grave error.

She included a link in her email.

When the DA's office clicked on that link, they were shocked to see a massive amount of their criminal discovery.
6. This is the same criminal discovery the DA shared with Danny Masterson's defense team.

This is a huge deal!

This confirms that Scientology, which has tax exemption based on its religious status (it's not a religion), is colluding with Danny Masterson and his defense team.
7. The Judge immediately asked Danny's defense attorney, Philip Cohen, if he shared the discovery with Scientology.

Cohen said no.
8. While I don't believe Cohen, a slimy, victim-shaming attorney, who somehow manages to sleep at night even though he takes his orders from Captain David Miscavige, there are other possibilities of who could have shared these materials with Scientology. Photo of criminal defense a...
9. Shawn Holley, Danny's other defense attorney, who has a sign in her office that says, "Don't cloud the argument with facts."

Shawn has spent more time trying to get me thrown out of court when I'm present to support the Jane Does than defending her client. Criminal defense attorney i...
10. Danny's previous defense attorney Thomas Mesereau, who Cohen replaced, also had access to this discovery. Criminal defense attorney T...
11. It could easily be Danny and his family who handed over the discovery to Scientology.

They are all Scientologists who believe they're above the law.

Scientology policy requires Scientologists to turn over these materials. Top photo: Carol Masterson,...
12. It could have been one of Danny's buddies in his crew of Scientologists called the Donkey Punch Bunch (more on that later).

These Scientologists have participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice in this case and other cases, all to protect Scientology.
13. I have great respect for defense attorneys and especially public defenders.

They're an essential part of our deeply flawed criminal justice system.

But I don't respect defense attorneys who spend their time doing Scientology's bidding.
14. There is nothing Scientology and Scientologists won't do to infiltrate government offices, organizations, and institutions.

There's nothing Scientology won't do to obtain the intel it needs to protect itself.

It has literally been Scientology policy for seven decades.
15. Those of us who fight against Scientology's abuses have been trying to get the media, law enforcement officials, and others to understand how Scientology operates.
16. We've warned them that Scientology will stop at nothing to infiltrate this trial, the jury, the LAPD, and the DA's office.

But we've largely been waived off.

Please read this thread about certain LAPD officials who collude with Scientology.

17. Last week, Reverend N.J. "Skip" L'Heureux, a so-called reverend wearing a collar, appeared in court.

He told Shawn Holley he was invited there by Scientology.

However, when Judge Olmedo directly asked him if he was associated with Scientology, he lied and said he wasn't. Scientology Agent Reverend ...
18. Meanwhile, Reverend Skip, who isn't a Scientologist, has a nearly three-decade history with Scientology, including sending this letter to Disney on Scientology letterhead!

All of this lying, corruption, and obstruction is happening out in the open! A portion of a letter writt...
19. Scientology has repeatedly attacked reporters, advocates, and survivors who have said they are involved in this trial.

They've referred to anyone who has stated this fact as a bigot.

Today, Vicki Podberesky confirmed everything we knew.

But will anyone care?
20. All of this infuriates me because people are giving Scientology precisely what it wants: indifference.

Scientology is fueled by the indifference of people who can do something about its abuses and criminality.

It's a travesty of justice.
21. Members of the media who don't properly report on Scientology -- which means learning what Scientology ACTUALLY is and not just asking to interview me -- and seek to avoid harassment instead of doing their job and revealing Scientology's criminality and corruption.
22. It's fueled by people who foolishly think they know everything about Scientology and then do things like publish statements from Scientology's spokesperson which disregards the fact that Scientology has policies (laws) that require lying to the media and law enforcement.
23. By the way, I waited a few hours to post this because I hoped that a bombshell this significant would get mainstream media coverage.

So far, silence from mainstream media members who breathlessly covered every raised eyebrow and cough in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial.

1. Today I attended the opening arguments in the rape trial of celebrity Scientologist Danny Masterson.

I attended to show my support for the women who were not only brutally raped by Danny but then subjected to years of harassment by Scientology.
2. Before opening arguments began, Danny's Scientology-controlled lawyers tried to get the judge to throw me out of the courtroom based on the false premise that they had planned to call me as a witness in the trial.
3. First, I am not on the witness list for the prosecution.

Second, this shows how threatened Scientology is by the truth.

1. So why has Scientology's leader David Miscavige disappeared his wife, Shelly?

The reason is simple: no one is a more significant threat to David and Scientology than Shelly.

Shelly could take David and Scientology down. Left: David Miscavige, the criminal leader of Scientology. R
2. That's why David has done everything in his power to disappear Shelly with the help of the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies who have colluded with Scientology and looked the other way.
3. To understand why Shelly has this power, you first must understand her role in Scientology from age 12.

And you must understand what role Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, have played in her life.

1. @winstonscho, a reporter for @THR, has erroneously reported on the upcoming retrial of the Danny Masterson rape case. Danny Masterson Retrial Del...
2. Today, there was a hearing on the retrial.

Nothing about Scientology's extensive and well-documented involvement in covering up Danny Masterson's history of being credibly accused of rape was discussed in the hearing today.
3. Los Angeles Deputy DA Mueller has never indicated that Scientology's criminal involvement would be presented less frequently in the retrial.

In his reporting, Cho doesn't cite or identify the date of this filing that he's referring to. Image

1. Many of you know about Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology's leader David Miscavige, who has been missing for over 15 years.

Well, I have got a hell of an update for you… Image
2. Meet Cory Palka, a 34-year vet of LAPD and a longtime captain of the Hollywood Division.

Cory was in charge of the division where I filed my missing person's report into the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige.

Here, Cory accepts a check from Scientology for an LAPD charity. Image
3. Here's where things get interesting...

Cory is now being investigated for providing confidential investigative information to top CBS executives.

Which begs the question...what investigative information has he provided to Scientology over the years?

1. Did you know that if you are a Scientologist, you are forbidden from contacting law enforcement when another Scientologist has committed a crime against you?

If you do, you will be declared a suppressive person and lose your family, friends, and livelihood overnight.
2. I'm sharing this with you because there is a criminal trial going on right now that is not getting enough attention on social media.

Actor and Scientologist Danny Masterson is on trial in Los Angeles on charges of raping multiple women.
3. First, let me explain how Scientologists are controlled.

Scientology's policies, written by founder L. Ron Hubbard, can never be altered and must be interpreted literally, allowing this criminal org to control members and insulate itself from bad PR.

1. If you constantly ask, "why isn't anyone doing anything about Scientology?"

Here's your chance to make a difference.

In this photo, on the left, you have Scientology exec Shane Woodruff who was my "handler" when I was a Scientologist and LA City Councilman @mitchofarrell
2. In this photo, @MitchOFarrell presented a laudatory proclamation to Scientology in 2014.

He did this many years after reporting, and first-person accounts made clear that Scientology is a dangerous, totalitarian cult.
3. Here is @MitchOFarrell, in 2018, presenting another proclamation to Scientology executive John Goodwin.

This was, again, after years of reporting exposing Scientology, after the Going Clear book, documentary, and two years after my series on A&E premiered.
