Leah Remini, Part 2 – Three Card Monte

Transcript:

Mark Rathbun:

Rinder explained to me that they had literally had it worked out that – they, the three of them, the troika (Rinder, Remini and Ortega) – an operation, where Leah’s departure from Scientology would be orchestrated and be reported in a way that they would manipulate people into reporting it. It was an act. In other words, this is an active troll job. Leah would act as if she were being persecuted by Scientology for disagreeing with it and having all this “scandalous” information about it. All the while, she was having her agents create the story of her leaving.  And it was done in such a way as to try to create a reaction on the part of Scientology.  It was a string operation to try to get Scientology to reach out to try to salvage her, to get Scientology to have people disconnect from her.  All it would be part of an ongoing story.  It was all going to be a roll out to increase her profile and create this mystery and create this figure – this ‘warrior princess’, his innocent warrior princess.  She’d be this innocent princess who was turned into a warrior because she was hunted down and persecuted by Scientology.  That was the story.

As it rolled out Scientology never played its part.  And they just acted like it did. She never did get persecuted, she never did get hunted down, she never did get people begging her to come back. None of that stuff happened.  But, Rinder and Ortega just keep spinning the ball giving the impression that it did.  The reason I refer to Rinder, Remini and Ortega as a ‘troika’ – this cluster at the top of this thing (the Anti Scientology Cult, ASC) – is they have this penchant for having one of them act like ‘Mickey the Dunce’ when something happens. That is how they rolled out Leah Remini in the first place. Tony Ortega literally reported as if he were onto a hot tip from a “tipster.”  The ‘tipster’ was Leah Remini.  Ortega made it look like someone else, like an insider who was leaking. And Ortega literally quoted Leah’s husband – he reported that he called Leah’s husband and said “hey, we heard your having a big break up with the church of Scientology,” and her husband was reported as saying, “oh, no, not at all, we get along just peachy keen. And if we ever did, we would resolve it with the church.”  And Ortega goes as far as writing, “and we thanked  him for being so candid.”

News is created

Well, the whole thing was scripted by Leah Remini, her husband, and Mike Rinder and Tony Ortega. So he literally made up this ‘news.’  That is how the whole thing rolled out and started.  They continue that who op until today where one of them does something and the other one says “I don’t  know anything about that.”  Example. In the last episode of Remini’s first year of her series on Scientology, they spent the entire episode over Scientology accusing Leah of disaffecting and inspiring this kid Brandon Reisdorf to commit a hate crime by throwing a brick through a window of a Church of Scientology.  She was like, “hah, can you believe they have accused me?”  She is literally next to Mike Rinder as she says it. Rinder did in fact orchestrate the kid’s disaffection and inspired him into hating David Miscavige and Scientology so much that he was willing to maim somebody. And Remini spent the entire episode railing about how she was falsely accused and yet her partner Mike Rinder is sitting right next to her; the guy who executed the whole thing.  And I know first-hand that he did.

So, I refer to them as a troika, cluster for a reason.  If you do not consider them as an inseparable group, it is like a chimera, you don’t know where anything is coming from.  Because it is planned and executed that way. 

Ethics of the Anti Scientology Cult

Another example. They rail about ethics. “Scientology has this utilitarian ethics system, us v. them, good v. evil.”  The funny thing is that literally is the ASC (Anti Scientology Cult) system of ethics.  It literally consists of ‘if it harms scientology, it is good. If it helps scientology, it is evil.”  Period! Mike Rinder literally said on a podcast that Scientology is ‘fair game’ and you can literally can say and do anything you want against Scientology and get away with it.  Literally promoting that idea. 

Rank Propaganda

Ortega puts it in many ways, day after day, on his blog.  One incident really encapsulates what happens here.  A woman took her car and rammed it through the front door of the Austin, Texas Church of Scientology, sped through the lobby and crashed into the Church’s nursery where there were toddlers.  When the police arrived the woman said she was disappointed when she was told she hadn’t hit anybody; that she had failed to kill anybody.  And that was her only regret, that she didn’t.  It subsequently came out that she was primarily inspired to do this by Leah Remini.  She had been reading her book or watching her show or listening to her ramblings or her productions.  And of course, Leah Remini just never says anything about it.  Instead, Tony Ortega comes in and Tony Ortega flanks for her by trying to euphemize the whole thing.  He literally characterized the admitted attempted murder as delinquency.  Ortega’s got about a couple hundred people in his sheep farm (troll farm) and they generate thousands of comments a day because that is all they do all day, sit there and comment.  Just as an exercise went through the comment section that day. Out of two thousand comments, not a single person objected to his characterization or called him out on it.  And they are all just frothing these attempted memes of hatred against Scientology, based on a woman attempting to kill somebody with her car.
