I, Gerry Armstrong declare: 1. I was a Scientologist from 1969 through 1981. For eleven years, I was in the “Sea Organization,” (“Sea Org”) the segment of Scientologists through which Scientology “churches” and “religious” groups around the world are controlled and Scientology-connected commercial enterprises are overseen. The Sea Org is a pseudo-military organization, and I […]

Any Time of the Day or Night
Why did the Scientologists need and want their urgent arrest warrant? The short and immediate answer is Russia. Scientology and Scientologists, overtly and covertly, are totalitarian and extremist. Key to the Scientologists’ totalitarianism and extremism is their “Suppressive Person” doctrine. The SP doctrine is extremist in the extreme. The doctrine is as evil and as […]
Exceptional Hypocrisy: The US’s International Religious Freedom program
My awareness of the US State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom (“OIRF”) proceeded from my experiences and relationship with Scientology. I won’t take up time with describing the Scientology religion, or cult, or scam, or intelligence agency. And I will not go into my very long history with the Scientologists. All of this is […]
A letter to Mike Rinder: Your victim speaks up (Part 8)
https://youtu.be/HZYvPRZ1Ewk To Hubbard, you, Rathbun, Miscavige and the rest of you conspirators, persecuting your targets, silencing or destroying us, ruining us utterly is a game. You are “high-toned,” and enjoy creating that game, even if it is by wog standards evil and by wog law criminal. Through all your years persecuting us, committing crimes against […]
Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Dear Ms. Šorytė: I am responding here to your article “‘Secretophobia’: The Modern Prejudice Against Religious and Spiritual Secrets,” recently published in The Journal of CESNUR. 1 It is broadly an attack on American professor of religious studies Hugh Urban, couched as a scholarly criticism of his writings on secrets in Freemasonry and Scientology. […]
Laura DeCrescenzo and me and our ever-so-penitent Scientology priests.
I posted the below comment to Tony Ortega’s blog today. It appeared that it propagated, and I think I saw ten “likes.” But now my comment isn’t there and “Disqus” says it was “Deleted as Spam.” “Disqus” also says, “We have received your request for review,” although I made no such request. This has happened […]
A letter to Mike Rinder: Your victim speaks up (Part 6)
I have no doubt that cowardice, moral cowardice, abounds in the world. Without my knowing what it was, I think it was my “ruin,” which was important in my recruitment into Scientology. I didn’t speak up when I morally should have. If we are all moral cowards, then there would be no one who modeled […]
A letter to Mike Rinder: Your victim speaks up (Part 5)
Remini and you recently published a joint statement in the Paul Haggis sexual assault matter stating: “the fear of consequences for speaking our truth has not held us back in the past and isn’t about to start now.”1 If you mean by “our truth,” what you learned in Scientology was “the truth” — “the exact […]
Louise Shekter and me
I knew Louise on the “Apollo.” I knew her being Treasury Aide during most of that time. Aides’ posts came with a lot of seniority, and she also had Sea Org rank and experience on me. I came on board in February 1971. I was on ship or shore lines throughout my time on board, […]
San Anselmo cop op
Tony Ortega posted today: Past is Prologue 1998: Gerry Armstrong posted a declaration this week describing Scientology’s private investigator tactics. “A San Anselmo Police cruiser pulled up in front of my car with its lights flashing. The officer driving the cruiser ordered me to stay in my car, and then within a minute or so […]
Massimo Introvigne – pro destructive cults for the hell of it
Dear Dr. Introvigne: You just published an article in your Bitter Winter magazine that contains this famous photo of Thomas Gandow, Alexander Dvorkin, Luigi Corvaglia, Archbishop Nikolay (Chashin) and me in Salekhard, Russia on September 29, 2017. I have not discovered any logical connection between your article and the five of us or the Salekhard […]
Aging well beyond the expiry date
I’ve mentioned before that L. Ron Hubbard and I have a long historical, legal and psychic relationship. When he died, according to the official medical record, he was 27,347 days old. That is, 74 years and 317 days old. Today I too am 27, 347 days old. Both Hubbard and I demonstrate that Scientology does […]
