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 They tell you Scientology is about personal freedom, then they staff the Sea Org like it’s a forever job with no retirement, no real medical plan, and no graceful exit. We sit down for a rapid-fire Q&A and answer the questions people keep asking us privately: what happens when lifelong Sea Org members get old and frail, who pays for their care, and why so many are quietly pushed out of sight when they can’t keep up with the schedule. We also dig into the stories that sho...
Send us Fan Mail A building plan can tell the truth even when the PR doesn’t. We’re back with a deep walkthrough of the official City of Clearwater plans for the proposed L. Ron Hubbard Hall, Scientology’s new auditorium and banquet complex planted right in downtown Clearwater. As we click through the drawings level by level, the sheer scale of the operation jumps off the page: a 2,100-seat venue, industrial kitchens, pastry prep, linen and chemical rooms, endless storage, and a logistics pip...
Send us Fan Mail Shelly Miscavige has not appeared in public since 2005 and that single fact keeps raising the same unsettling question: how can the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige seemingly disappear while the Church insists everything is fine? We take the “Where is Shelly Miscavige?” mystery seriously, but we also zoom out to the larger system that makes vanishings, silence and isolation feel normal to the people living inside it. We’re joined by Mitch Brisker, who spent n...
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...
