Send us a textThis episode originally aired on YouTube on December 15th 2024.Ever wondered why Earth might just be the universe's ultimate "prison planet"? Join me and my wife for an entertaining exploration as we unravel the fantastical alien narratives buried within Scientology's secretive doctrines. We tackle everything from the notorious Xenu and his Galactic Federation antics to the quirky rules against "coffee shop auditing." Our lively Q&A session spills the juicy details you've been curious about, all while fielding your burning questions about the religion's alien connections.Brace yourself for some eyebrow-raising anecdotes and humorous insights as we dissect Hubbard's sci-fi influence on Scientology. From spaceships resembling DC-10s to the curious concept of "body thetans" supposedly haunting our bodies, we leave no stone unturned. And yes, we even speculate on how Tom Cruise's deep dive into Scientology might have influenced his film career—who knew exorcising space aliens could be part of a leading man's repertoire?Finally, we pull back the curtain on the organization's mysterious Sea Org and explore the whimsical lore of the Loyal Officers, all while sharing our own experiences, like that unforgettable trip to a New Mexico vault. Whether it's the eccentricities of Hubbard's final days or the oddities within the church's practices, we deliver a ride through Scientology's hidden secrets that's as enlightening as it is entertaining. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind episode that dares to question the logic behind one of the world's most controversial belief systems!Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2131160.rss YOUTUBE PLAYLISTS: Spy Files Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtJfniWLwq4cA-e...

With Scientology's biggest poster boy back on the big screen, the church is ramping up the recruitment drive. And to make sure you STAY AWAY from this sinister, star-studded sci-fi cult posing as a world religion, we're rereleasing our two-parter as a bumper bonus episode...-- Hannah and Suruthi peer under the slippery stone of Scientology's sinister origins. They track the life of founder L. Ron Hubbard, from the birth of Dianetics, to the constantly shifting goalposts of engrams, and of course the conception of the Sea Org.Then, they unravel the mysteries of Scientology (and get themselves fair-gamed) by discussing Scientology's most important questions like: "what is the current structure of The Church of Scientology?", "where does Tom Cruise fit in?" and most importantly "where on Xenu's green earth is dead-eyed Dave's wife Shelly Miscavige?"--Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The release of a new Tom Cruise film is less about the film than it is about Tom Cruise. Ceaseless junket and red-carpet interviews with supposed journalists who were perhaps invented on the spot to ask him questions, clips of these interviews that quickly go viral, endless rankings of the movies, and between all of it the… acknowledgement, perhaps, that Cruise is connected to (or currently participates in) the horrific doings of Scientology. It doesn't take much to discern that our collective fascination is fueled by the wonder at who exactly this man is, and if that man is, for lack of a better word, evil. Thus I asked a cadre of luminaries in the film world to answer two questions. First: Is Tom Cruise evil? Second: In what film does Tom Cruise most play himself?  Listen for answers from our own B-Side and Jordan Raup, Extended Clip, Jokermen, Hesse Deni, Shawn Glinis, Fran Hoepfner, Tommy Prieto, Will Sloan, and Ethan Vestby.

If you want to know the plans of the secret elite, watch spy movies. Let's breakdown the Hollywood magick found in the franchise of Mission impossible.  In them you'll find predictive progaming, scientology, numerology, magick, fear mongering and so much more. Don't be afraid, for the will of God will always triumph. As always, don't forget to sread the fire! 

What U.S. Cities Are Growing Fastest—and Why Tiny Towns May Be the Smartest Investment in 2025 In this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, we explore the fastest and slowest growing cities in the Denver metro area—and zoom out to a national trend reshaping American real estate: the rise of tiny towns. These are U.S. markets with fewer than 25,000 housing units, and they've seen surprising population growth since the pandemic. But are these “Zoomtowns” still gaining momentum—or is the trend reversing?  Segment 1 – The Rise (and Plateau?) of Tiny Towns: We dive into why small markets boomed after 2020, what makes them attractive for real estate investors, and why 2025 might be the turning point as urban population rebounds. We highlight recent data from Briefcase Real Estate, touching on occupancy rates, remote work impacts, and national investment strategies for smaller U.S. metros.  Segment 2 – Fastest and Slowest Growing Cities in the Denver Metro: From Arvada's red-hot housing market (5 days on market!) to Castle Rock's suburban sprawl slowdown, we analyze which Colorado cities are thriving and which are stagnating—and why. Learn how zoning, transit, housing diversity, and urban planning all play a role.  Bonus: We also kick things off with a quick take on Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning and the movie's unexpected AI villain twist—plus some hot takes on Tom Cruise, Marvel movies, and yes, Scientology. Perfect for: Investors hunting for undervalued real estate markets in the U.S. Buyers and sellers trying to time their entry into fast-moving cities Real estate agents tracking market demand and homebuyer trends Anyone curious about how remote work, zoning, and urban planning impact home values  Search terms optimized in this episode: real estate podcast USA 2025, fastest growing cities 2025, Denver housing trends 2025, small town real estate investment, tiny town population growth, best markets for real estate investing 2025, Castle Rock housing slowdown, Arvada real estate, Mission Impossible AI villain, Tom Cruise stunts 2025  Subscribe for smart, unscripted real estate insights from two full-time pros.  Contact Information: erin@erinspradlin.com or James@jamescarlsonre.com  Briefcase Link: https://www.briefcase.email/subscribe?ref=wFlln8t7WI

Hello, Hello, Hello,This is -- arguably -- the only sane discussion we have had on the "MI" franchise, courtesy -- the presence of Adithiyan and the special appearance of Mr. (Raj) Aryan -- but most of all the absence of "MI: I, 2 & III" moderator, Varun Bhakay.Dhruv, Cris & a surprisingly sober, sensible (and somewhat salty) Hemant are also there -- dueling it out about why, for some of them, "Dead Reckoning" works much more than "Final Reckoning" and why -- according to Hemant -- we all are wrong about "Rogue Nation."Spoilers, of course, for all the MIs.

Janina und Patricia werfen einen Blick auf die vielfältige Religionslandschaft in den USA – von Megakirchen mit Rockkonzert-Flair über Amish-Gemeinden ohne Strom bis hin zu Scientology und den Mormonen. Sie sprechen auch darüber, wie sichtbar Religion im amerikanischen Alltag ist, wie leicht man dort eine Kirche gründen kann – und welche Glaubensrichtungen in Europa kaum vorstellbar wären.

Dr. Adam Francisco, author, “One God, Many Gods” One God, Many Gods The post Christianity and Other World Religions: Atheism and Scientology – Dr. Adam Francisco, 5/28/25 (1482, Encore) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Richies, just in time for ""Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning"" - the last installment of the MI franchise - we bring you one of the most bankable stars in the world, Tom Cruise. As a boy, he's bullied because of his height, and faces learning difficulties at school. But that was then and this is now. Thanks to roles in “Risky Business,” “Top Gun,” “A Few Good Men,” and the money-printing “Mission: Impossible” franchise, Tom has become not only an enormous action star, but one of Hollywood's most surefire leading men. And one of its most controversial. Who could forget the image of him jumping up and down on Oprah's couch after falling for Katie Holmes?

Joe Biden’s latest health scare has sparked a reckoning—and it’s raising big questions about what happens when compassion clashes with a potential cover-up. Also, have we all forgotten something about Tom Cruise... AKA the Last Real Movie Star? We're here to remind you. And in today’s group chat — the woman with heels in her tote, the couple not speaking at dinner, the Strava-obsessed show-off... Be honest. Which woman did you swear you’d never become? Put your best listening ears on because Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack all this—and a whole lot more—on today's show.

Ron Hubbard died after only completing materials up to OT8, yet Scientology continues selling the promise of these non-existent levels• Scientology constantly moves the goalposts for releasing these levels (first all orgs reaching "St. Hill size," then becoming "Ideal Orgs")• The L.

On this episode, we're joined by legendary magazine editor Graydon Carter to discuss his memoir, When the Going Was Good, an intoxicating portrait of his 25-year reign as editor of Vanity Fair, and an extraordinary life shaped by curiosity, conflict and impeccable taste.We begin at Spy, the satirical magazine he co-founded, which targeted New York's cultural establishment with reckless abandon, coining the infamous "small hands" insult for Donald Trump. Later, he reflects on his turbulent start at Vanity Fair, where he was initially hated by staff, the close working relationship he developed with photographer Annie Leibovitz, and the founding of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, now a more coveted invitation in Hollywood than the ceremony itself.Throughout our conversation, Carter shares countless juicy anecdotes — from receiving a Scientology plaque from Tom Cruise to helping Fran Lebowitz find the perfect suit — and explores how magazine journalism has lost its lustre in the digital age.

19.05.25 Pt 2 - Gareth Cliff sits down with actor and activist Jack Devnarain for a candid chat about the craft of acting. From classical training alongside the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch to the enigma of Tom Cruise and Scientology, no name is off-limits. Jack also opens up about his personal approach to performance—what drives him, grounds him, and keeps him sharp in a tough industry The Real Network

“Tell me how it's fixed. We're not continuing this conversation until you explain exactly how.”That's the challenge Skin throws down in this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where conspiracy theories, celebrity run-ins, and hilarious weekend recaps collide in a perfect storm of chaos and comedy.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray are back on 97.1 The Eagle, and they're bringing the heat—and the laughs. From Skin's yacht rock weekend and KT's electric night with Saul Goodman's secretary (yes, really), to Krystina's storm-shortened but stellar performance at the Wildflower Festival, the crew dives into their weekends. But the real fireworks start when Ben recounts a birthday party conversation gone off the rails: two friends, a few drinks, and a full-blown belief that the NBA Draft is rigged. What follows is a masterclass in comedic frustration, as Ben and Skin try to reason with the unreasonable. The result? One of the funniest and most relatable sports rants you'll hear all year.Memorable Moments:

As a child, Pamela was on the maiden voyage of L. Ron Hubbard's flagship. Aboard ship, she studied alongside the younger Hubbard kids.

Her father, despite years as a dedicated staff member, died from multiple sclerosis. Even though she left decades ago and has lived a fulfilling life, she realizes the profound impact Ron Hubbard had on her life.Links:Pamela's websiteand visit her on Instagram and TikTokThe most popular languages by native speakersand by total number of speakers

Howdy, folks of the interwebs! Your host Double J is back with a shenanigan infused journey into mind of this particular Garbage Can Dood! Today's adventure we are talk'n tales of a galaxy far far away, in a time long long ago! That is the tales of Marvel/DC Comics and the origin story of these tales...These Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts and ideas permeate our modern culture and society in the form of epic space narratives of "Star Wars" and Marvel/DC Comics big budget Hollywood blockbusters!Where do these Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts come from? Are these the belief systems of a small but powerful and wealthy group of folks who comprise a cult network of Ancient Alien Cargo Cultists, who seek to convince the rest of humanity of their cult belief system?It certainly seems that is the case with Marvel/DC Comics, at least in this dood's perspective! Especially in consideration of the "superpowers" and galactic overlords - sounds very similar to the philosophies of Scientology, a Thelemic offshoot cult.The origin story of the folks responsible for Marvel & DC comics begin in the Sci-Fi/Pulp fiction writers circa 100 years ago. Where these writers would be in the immediate orbit of other Sci-Fi writers, such as Scientology founder L-Ron Hubbard, via a Los Angeles based Sci-Fi writers club. In fact, that Sci-Fi writers club leader, editor, publisher, and literary agent for many of these writers in the club, a Hollywood legend named Forrest J. Ackerman would even claim that this writers club were both engaged in Thelema and Scientology! The specific type of Thelema was the OTO - Agape Lodge run by infamous occultist and rocket engineer, Marvel "Jack" Parsons.So, does Marvel comics owe its namesake to Marvel "Jack" Parsons? Do we see tribute to Parsons even in DC Comics' "Suicide Squad"? And lastly, can these patterns of this Thelemic fan fiction be exhibited in the actions of the actors who star in the Hollywood big budget films based upon Marvel/DC Comics?Anyhow, folks of the interwebs! Thanks for join'n us to get a lil GCD! And folks of the interwebs buckle up as we have a real barn burner today,  "Marvel/DC Comics...Thelemic Fan Fiction?".Enjoy the show!Links for JJ - https://linktr.ee/operationgcd
