Mapping the Secrets of Scientology Gold Base - Scientology Secrets #16
Send us a text A gleaming studio with a fence that listens. That’s the paradox at Gold Base, Scientology’s international HQ, where Golden Era Productions presents a pristine creative campus while security systems hum beneath the hedges. We take you through both worlds at once: pausing a polished promo film to identify the faces, jobs, and backstories you weren’t told, then riding a drone’s-eye map across soundstages, villas, tunnels, and the private grounds built for one man’s comfort and con...

From Escape to Inventory: How Scientology Packed Our Lives into 60 Boxes - Scientology Secrets #15
Send us a text How we escaped the Sea Org in January 2005 and tried to get a basic life back. What followed was a masterclass in control: family emails crafted under supervision that said “love you” while enforcing disconnection; a senior exec telling us our declares were “on hold” when the paperwork was stamped the day after we fled; and a hostage-style handoff in a bus station lot where our dog and a rented truck full of bankers’ boxes were exchanged for signatures and a reaction to our dec...

Sea Org Life: Inside the 109-Hour Workweek - Scientology Secrets#12

The schedule begins at 7:45 AM with a bus ride to the compound, followed by a brief breakfast and mandatory muster where every staff member is accounted for. Then comes production time—making movies, cleaning faci...

This wasn't just any Scientology recruitment attempt; it was written by Marc's own mother, who remains deeply entrenched in the organization while completely disconnected from her family. The letter itself is absurd enough: "Well done on purchasing a book in 1999!!!" it exclaims, attempting to recruit someone who bought a Scientology book 26 years a...
