Discover the clandestine maneuvers of Scientology as we venture into a covert world rife with espionage and power struggles. Our latest episode peels back the curtain on the church's relentless campaign against author Andrew Morton and his investigative book about Tom Cruise. We unveil the calculated efforts to discredit Morton's sources and thwart the release of his findings, with a narrative that reads like a spy thriller. Key players such as David Miscavige and a cast of influential Scientologists take center stage in this saga of intrigue and manipulation.
Embark on a journey through Andrew Morton's meticulous research process and the countermeasures employed by Scientology's Office of Special Affairs. We dissect the church's surveillance operations and disinformation tactics, aiming to disrupt Morton's narrative.

Finally, we wrap up this episode with a reflection on the broader implications of such covert tactics on freedom of speech and the press. We extend our gratitude to our listeners for their continued support, and encourage further exploration of this topic through the additional resources we provide. Get ready to be enveloped in a story of celebrity, religion, and the lengths to which an institution will go to safeguard its reputation.
