April 21, 2016: Lisa Marie Presley doing some damage to Scientology leader David Miscavige behind the scenes by exposing the church hiring of private investigators (she told Tony Ortega the previous year were a constant during her marriage to Michael Jackson)
“For more than a year, the Underground Bunker has been speaking with sources close to Lisa Marie Presley who tell us that the daughter of Elvis Presley has not only turned against Scientology leader David Miscavige, but has taken steps to coordinate actions designed to cripple Miscavige’s rule.
Lisa Marie is using her media savvy and connections with other celebrities and other important figures inside Scientology to release explosive revelations about Miscavige, while keeping her own role quiet. The result, so far, has been the skillfully timed release of media stories that have damaged Miscavige at the same time that Scientology is in a long term decline.
But if David Miscavige thought Lisa Marie would go away quietly, he was badly mistaken. […] One of the things Ron Miscavige discussed with her was that his book would reveal the shocking news that he’d been tailed by the private investigators arrested by the West Allis Police Department in 2013. But Lisa Marie told Ron that wasn’t going to work. She explained that revealing that information in a book with Ron’s name on it would allow Miscavige and the church to claim that it was a biased attack by an interested party. It turned out that Lisa Marie had other plans for that information.
Our sources tell us that she hired an attorney in Los Angeles, someone who specialized in the media. That attorney obtained copies of the police interviews and police reports from the 2013 arrest. And then, the attorney strategically fed that material to three media organizations. For print, the Los Angeles Times, for online, TMZ, and for television, NBC. It may have been David Miscavige’s most damaging news all year.
It was Lisa Marie Presley who made the decision that the story about the private investigators should show up in these mainstream outlets before it appeared in Ron Miscavige’s book. And our sources tell us she has more planned.”

Kennedy has an ongoing financial connection to a Scientology-linked law firm that spent decades suing antidepressant manufacturers.
Rebecca Crosby and Noel Sims at Popular Information:
The Trump administration has engaged in a lengthy campaign to discourage the use of antidepressants. The effort has been led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has spent years spreading misinformation about these types of medications. The Trump administration has specifically targeted selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which include medications like Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft.
Kennedy’s claims about antidepressants mirror those of the Church of Scientology, which has a long history of disdain for psychiatry and has targeted psychiatric medications for decades. Kennedy has an ongoing financial relationship with a law firm connected to Scientology that has pursued numerous lawsuits against antidepressant manufacturers.
At a 2023 Scientology event, the church’s current leader, David Miscavige, described psychiatry as “the greatest evil on Earth.” Scientology’s main vehicle for targeting this “evil” is a nonprofit it founded called the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). CCHR runs a museum in Los Angeles called “Psychiatry: Industry of Death” and has produced several documentaries. Among the group’s claims are that psychiatry was responsible for the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo, 9/11, and several mass shootings.
One documentary produced by CCHR focuses on the connection between antidepressants and mass shootings in the U.S. The documentary claims that many mass shooters take antidepressants and presents this as evidence that the medications are the cause. Experts say there is no evidence linking antidepressants to mass shootings. A study from Columbia found that around 4% of mass shooters had used antidepressants in their lifetime, which is less than the proportion of all adults in the U.S. who take antidepressants. The documentary also makes the false claim that “psychiatric drugs are among the most addictive on Earth” and compares some of them to cocaine.
Kennedy pushes many of the same myths about antidepressants. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Kennedy claimed that SSRIs were harder to quit than heroin. (Experts disagree with this comparison. “Antidepressants and heroin are in different universes when it comes to addiction risk,” Keith Humphreys, an addiction expert, told NPR.) Kennedy has also repeatedly suggested that SSRIs may be linked to mass shootings. In 2025, after a shooting at a school in Minnesota, Kennedy said in an interview on Fox News, “We’re launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence.”
Kennedy’s financial stake in the anti-psychiatry movement
Kennedy’s connection to Scientology’s views on antidepressants is more than ideological — it’s financial.
In CCHR’s anti-SSRI documentary, a lawyer named R. Brent Wisner said, “There’s no question that there’s people right now who are in jail after committing violent crimes who never would have done that if they hadn’t taken these drugs. There’s no question that people right now are dead because of these drugs.”
Wisner’s law firm, Wisner Baum, has led dozens of lawsuits against the manufacturers of psychiatric medications and other psychiatric tools that Scientology has targeted. Kennedy referred clients to the firm and has a contingency fee agreement with them in which he receives a percentage of the payout if they win their cases. During his 2025 nomination process, Kennedy reported receiving over $850,000 in fees from Wisner Baum. He did not specify which cases generated those fees.

Kennedy’s campaign against SSRIs
Under Kennedy’s leadership, the Trump administration has launched a war on antidepressants.
On May 4, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced multiple initiatives to stop “psychiatric overprescribing” and encourage providers to deprescribe patients when appropriate. In a “Dear Colleague” letter, HHS encouraged providers to utilize “nonmedication approaches, such as family support, psychotherapy, nutrition, and physical activity.”
SSRIs, which are used to treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, can be life-saving. Around one in six adults in the U.S. are on some type of antidepressant medication. SSRIs are the most common type of antidepressant.
RFK Jr. has very controversial ties to Scientologists, and it may be playing a role in his anti-antidepressants sentiments.

Operation Blue Lotus is a success! Law enforcement has intercepted 900 pounds of Fentantyl at the border.

😱 "What?" "Don't even try filling that bogus Rx for your late Aunt Flouise's Fentanyl." "But I signed it." "Oddly, you don't look anything like your deceased aunt. Hey! You signed 'maintenance mmmm?" Right, Jeff?" "How'd you know my name?" 🙄🚨👮♂️

The Show
I was just watching the show, and OMG! A clown shot a U.S. Marine!
I'm pretty sure they were actors — one in a clown suit, with a loaded gun, the other in a white sweatshirt, who looked like a young man at the Academy. On the TV show, he was shot dead. 😮
🇺🇸
In real life, there's too much shooting in Portland, Oregon, both by cops and civilians. Look up the group "Don't Shoot Portland" to connect with other like-minded people. Watch out for the new drug Austedo XR, said to cure tardive dyskinesia; it may not work as advertised. And don't ever shoot a U.S. Marine.

Today in my Uni media class we had the age old debate about Tom Cruise with the two key points being:
Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick (Good)
Scientology (Bad)
Based on this my new theory if is that if Tom Cruise ever makes a movie that is even slightly bad his career will be over because of the Scientology thing.
Also learned that a lot of people don't know his best buddy David Miscavige ~ Allegedly ~ has his wife (Shelly Miscavige) locked in a basement somewhere
