Description

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.

Send us Fan Mail A person doesn’t just vanish for nearly two decades without a system helping it happen. We’re digging into the long-running question “Where is Shelly Miscavige?” with Rachel Hastings, a former Scientology film professional whose timeline overlaps the period before and after Shelly’s public disappearance in 2005. What Rachel describes isn’t gossip or trivia; it’s a window into how power, fear, and silence can be enforced inside the Sea Org and around David Miscavige’s inner ci...
Send us Fan Mail A person does not just vanish for nearly two decades without a system helping it happen. Shelly Miscavige has not appeared in public since 2005, and the longer that silence stretches, the more it exposes a disturbing truth about power, secrecy, and coercive control inside Scientology. We’re joined by Mat Pesch to trace what he personally saw, starting with meeting Shelly in the early days around Gold Base, before she became David Miscavige’s wife. Matt shares why he remember...
Send us Fan Mail Tom Cruise doesn’t just brush past Scientology rumors, he seems to outlast them on a schedule. We dig into why the “he left” headlines pop up around every big release, what that narrative accomplishes, and why our experience tells us it’s bogus. From Mimi Rogers and the early years of quiet involvement to the point where Cruise becomes a public symbol, we map the timeline that turns a movie star into a high-control group’s most valuable asset. We also get specific about what...
Send us Fan Mail Shelly Miscavige is more than a celebrity headline or a rumor that won’t die. She’s a real person who worked at the highest levels of Scientology leadership, and she hasn’t been seen publicly for years. That single fact raises a simple, human question that never stops mattering: where is Shelly, and is she safe? I’m joined by Ann Gollert Hill to trace what we personally knew of Shelly Miscavige at Scientology’s international headquarters in Gilman Hot Springs, California, of...
