        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.

      On another note if you are interested in the topic, I can’t recommend Growing Up in Scientology enough on YouTube.

      Aaron is an amazing educator, commentator, and satirist on the subject of Scientology. Beyond that he has one of the most genuine, yet charismatic personalities of any person on the platform. I can’t say enough good things about him, his journey, and his work with both exposing as well as freeing people from Scientology’s grip.
