    Scientology conducted the biggest official infiltration of the US government to get nonprofit designation at the IRS. They were caught, but still won that status despite being a for-profit organization in reality.

    They have kidnapped, and enslaved many people through SeaOrg and at multiple known compounds. Shelly Miscavige is still held unlawfully by Scientology. The police refuse to raid them.

    The mother-in-law of scientology’s leader was shot in the chest twice and back of the head once with a long rifle. The LA coroner ruled it a suicide. (fixed thanks u/wogi )

    The government is aiding and abetting these criminals, it’s not going to give them justice.

      You’re mixing up your “suicides”

      Flo Barnett shot herself three times in the chest and once in the head with a long rifle.

      Gary Webb, who exposed the crack cocaine conspiracy within the CIA shot himself twice in the head with a revolver. FWIW, Webb’s death Bay actually have been a suicide. The first shot went through his face.

      Shelly Miscavige is still held unlawfully by Scientology.

      Are you sure about that? I don’t mean that in the sense of doubting that Scientology kidnapped her, but in the sense that I’m unaware of any proof she’s even still alive.
