My Texas girl has been with me for a little over a year. She is incredibly sweet, and up until a few days ago, she would enthusiastically come whenever I called her.

Now she does what I always expect from a Chow, and that is, she ignores me.

Reading her records, it looks like she was abused, and I noticed from the beginning that when I would raise my voice, she would drop to the ground and submit.

I have no idea why she finally decided to go full Chow. I'm guessing she feels safer.

"

The link above has the full transcript of yesterday's appeal hearing for Leah Remini v. Scientology.

At the very end of the transcript, journalist Tony Ortega notes:

"* Leah Remini’s attorney asked the Underground Bunker not to name him in our report of the hearing over his concern about harassment by the Church of Scientology."

What the hell does this mean? This is completely bonkers.

So many questions.

What's happened to Leah's attorney that he would actually write this to Tony?

Does Leah know about this?

Does the court know he's in fear?

What was he thinking when he appeared at this hearing, and his name was broadcast internationally during this video of the hearing?

Will Leah have to start all over with another attorney?

Good grief!

Disgusting behavior by the cult for harassing a councilor who just lost their father.

Only a month after the Clearwater, Florida city council knuckled under and voted to turn over a downtown street to Scientology, church leader David Miscavige is wasting no time, announcing that on August 1 he’ll preside over a ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the future L. Ron Hubbard Hall. More at link.

"...we wanted to remind the people of Clearwater what they’re dealing with as once again their political leaders are caving to the Church of Scientology, pretending that this is a legitimate organization that means what it says. We figure it’s best if they heard directly from Scientology’s founder himself.

These 3 cowards should be voted out.

There is a meeting tonight on this issue. Scientology will be flooding the place with their members, trying to outnumber and silence any opposition,

I've been keeping my eye on Scientology and reporting on their progress or lack of it in building the new "Ideal Org" in New Haven.

Jameel Best, a 6-foot-9 former center and CBA standout, seems pretty excited about forking over a lot of money for a new Scientology mission in Memphis.

"Memphis raised me. I grew up here, and I’ve seen this city from the inside. I didn’t just hear about the violence, confusion, and lack of direction. I experienced it firsthand. I’ve also seen the potential in our people when they’re given structure and hope. That is exactly what this Scientology Mission will bring to this city."

Clearwater City Council is allowing Scientology to build a monument to the greatest con man, L. Ron Hubbard.

Mark Bunker reports on Scientology's continued lying and deceiving to the Clearwater City Council and it's citizens.

https://tonyortega.substack.com/p/mark-bunker-on-last-nights-strange

The video featured on the page is an interview between journalist Tony Ortega and former Clearwater City Council member Mark Bunker regarding Scientology's ongoing influence and development efforts in downtown Clearwater, Florida.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Cleveland Street Entertainment Complex: The interview centers on Scientology's uncoordinated plans to establish a new entertainment complex on Cleveland Street. The Clearwater City Council is scheduled to meet to discuss these developments, which the church has been planning without official council involvement.
• City Council Pushback: Mark Bunker highlights his intention to speak at the city council meeting to address these surreptitious expansion plans and push for more transparency and community-focused control over downtown development.
• Bunker's Campaign: Bunker discusses his re-election campaign for the Clearwater City Council, emphasizing his long-term stance on mitigating Scientology's hidden grip on the town since they originally arrived in 1975.

Scientology will have to deal with the ACLU.

Excellent article by Chris Shelton

Many of us gathered on Monday afternoon and waited several hours for the Clearwater City Council to review our citizen petition initiative during their work session. We hoped to hear thoughtful discussion about the thousands of Clearwater voters who signed petitions, because they want a voice in the future of downtown Clearwater and the city’s ability to vacate public streets.

When the agenda item finally came up, not a single council member spoke. All discussion was postponed until Thursday, the day of the vote.

Our team was stunned that the City Council showed so little interest in examining how the petitions were reviewed and rejected. Is the Council at all curious about the accountability process regarding the Clerk’s review of the petitions? Remember, she threw out thousands of signatures. There are many questions the Clerk needs to be asked in order to restore citizen confidence.

We plan to speak during public comment at Thursday’s meeting, and we hope you will join us.

THURSDAY, MAY 21 – Public Comment & Council Vote

🕡 6:00 PM

📍 Clearwater City Council Chambers

100 N. Osceola Ave, Clearwater

This decision carries enormous consequences for the future of downtown Clearwater. Scientology has requested the vacation of several public properties, including Garden Avenue, two additional streets, an alleyway, and a city-owned lot for a proposed entertainment complex, L. Ron Hubbard Hall, and a private plaza.

That is FIVE public properties that could potentially be transferred without voter approval.

Will the City Council allow the people of Clearwater to have a voice in the future of our downtown public streets and rights-of-way?

Thank you for standing strong with us. We hope to see you on Thursday.
