Today we\u2019re joined again by\xa0Jeremiah Roberts\xa0and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on Scientology and its many controversies. On this episode we're diving into the even darker side of Scientology, featuring government conspiracies and intimidation tactics. We discuss what may have happened to Shelly Miscavige, wife of the leader of Scientology, who mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since 2007. We also look at some of the intimidation and control tactics that Scientology uses to divide families and break up relationships. We talk about the tragic stories of forced abortions and rape cover-ups that have surfaced regarding Scientology and explain why the famous "billion-year contract" is so detrimental to families and children stuck in Scientology. We also speculate why exactly Scientology is so appealing to the already rich and famous.\n\nCheck out the Cultish website and Instagram!\n\n(Note: This episode was filmed before Danny Masterson's sentencing.)\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:15) Scientology conspiracies / Operation Snow White\n(10:11) Shelly Miscavige\n(12:50) Intimidation and control / dividing families\n(19:00) The State doesn't protect against cults\n(23:05) The Sea Organization\n(25:55) Forced abortion story\n(31:16) Why is Scientology appealing to rich people?\n(37:30) Danny Masterson rape trial\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nGood Ranchers \u2014 get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com \u2013 make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.
