The foundation has expanded its services beyond financial aid to include educational assistance, mental health support, and career mentorship.

• Discussion of how the Aftermath Foundation is receiving more applications for aid than ever before
• News about the foundation's new website and expanded programs to help former Scientologists
• Explanation that board members are all volunteers who receive no compensation
• Announcement that the Aftermath Foundation has been approved for the Combined Federal Campaign
• Insights into why OSA members fear the foundation - it provides escape routes for Scientologists
• Board members offer signed books for donations of $250 or more
If you'd like to support the Aftermath Foundation, visit theaftermathfoundation.org. Every dollar goes directly to helping people escape Scientology and start new lives.

I'm hearing up and look who'shere.
We now also have Aaron.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Oh, okay, so we have the heavy hitters in the bottom

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, it's true Now wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
He's got the beauty in the top row.
The beauty in the top row,there you go, I'll take that.
Well, the top right.
And the beauty in the top row,there you go, I'll take that.
Well, the top right.
All the bottom, the top right.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
How do I move to the bottom row?
Because my approach is killthem with kindness, so I think I
should move to the bottom row.
Come on now, folks.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So we've got a lot of people here today In the chat.
We've got people from Ontario,from Idaho, from.
We had some from the UK.
Did you star those, claire?
We want to know if this is infact.
Can you pull up that comment?
Before the stream went live, wenoticed a particular here we go
(02:02):
.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I got it here.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Danielle Chamberlain hi from the UK, both with Nev
and I in the room, and if that'sNeville Chamberlain, that is a
very famous Scientologist fromEngland, from the I want to say
60s, and 70s.
Yep, yep, yep.
Well, hello guys, hello,danielle and Nev, if you are in
(02:24):
fact the same Nev we're thinkingof.
We are doing a fundraiser today, guys.
So we did a fundraiser.
The last fundraiser, bigfundraiser we did was for the
story of Surge video that wepremiered on all of our channels
, and who knows what?
The tally on that is claire, dowe?
(02:46):
Or, aaron?
Do we know what the tally onthat one is?
I think we were up to like 80,90, 100 000 uh views on that
between all the channels oh, theviews I don't know.
Oh well, we got a lot of uh, wegot a lot of eyes on that, and
claire does know what the finalfundraising total was on that
right or what it is to this date.
(03:06):
It kind of is always adding toit.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah Well, that's the beauty of doing these
fundraisers on YouTube is itdoesn't have an end, so anyone
can donate at any time.
But we figured we would give afew important updates in regards
to Surge.
Important updates in regards toSerge.
It's crazy how many people havetold us people that Serge grew
(03:36):
up with and that he knew in hischildhood that Scientology told
them he had died.
And we've since found out thatthey not only told it to people
in Scientology, but they alsotold this to some of Serge's
family members who were never inScientology.
So there's been some amazingreconnections taking place as a
result of airing Serge's story.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's so good yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mark you're mute.
One of the things that wethought was a little odd when we
were doing the video with Sergeis that he kept mentioning I
want them to know I'm stillalive and we thought, well, that
would I mean.
Why would they think he waspassed away?
Like somebody would have totell people that out, that that
(04:25):
is what they were told.
And and even people that werejust that, just kind of knew,
surge in a J surge adjacent,heard that he had passed away,
so um.
So he made a lot of friends, hisum, his contact list is growing
every week in terms of peoplethat grew up in the cadet org
with him and that are nowoutside of Scientology as well
as just family members, are nowoutside of Scientology as well
(04:46):
as just family members.
He found out that he had ahalf-sister he never knew about
and he got to meet her and hermother, and so it's really the
story is really turning out tohave a happier and happier
ending for Surge in all of thisand the people that have sent in
on our channel, on the BFGchannel, some people were
sending in donations that theywanted to go straight to Serge
(05:09):
and so he's been getting thoseand he does appreciate that and
he does read the comments in thevideos on the story of Serge.
So if you want to send amessage to Serge, put it in the
comments and he will likely seethat.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
You know, when I was just out in LA for the Masterson
trial stuff, I got a chance tomeet Serge for the first time.
I'd never met him before andSerge has been doing a whole art
project with the other Serge,serge Del Mar.
And Serge said, you know,before I lost my hands, I was an
artist.
I said what kind of art did youdo?
He said fine art.
And Serge, and you know, beforeI lost my hands, I was an
(05:45):
artist.
And I said what kind of art didyou do?
He said fine art.
And Serge and Serge have beendoing this whole thing.
I mean, he's sitting there, youknow, eating this meal which,
by the way, it's amazing howSerge can eat, you know, with
his prosthetics and he's likecan you cut this pizza for me?
I'm like can you eat that?
And he's like yeah, let me showyou.
(06:07):
And he's amazing, when hestarted talking about the art
project, his whole face just litup like he is loving this thing
he's doing with serge damar.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
yeah, amazing I know serge valensky has texted me
some pictures of some of thework he's been doing, and it is
just so amazing to see himrekindled, despite what happened
.
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well, you know, if you watch in the in the surge
video, the story of surge video,when he first gets his hook on
for the first time, I think itwas, how many years was it since
he used him?
14 years, it was 14 years.
He didn't have hooks.
As soon as they put these hookson him, they give him a pen and
he signs his name in theseflowing letters and he signs it
(06:52):
perfectly for the first time in14 years and he has so much
mental memory.
That is he is amazing withthose hooks.
You, you would.
I mean, just like Aaron wassaying, I've seen him eat soup
with no hooks.
So the fact that he can, youknow, do stuff with with the
(07:15):
hooks.
It's pretty amazing.
So that's so that I thinkthat's the update on surge.
More to come, and the aftermathhas other people that we are
working with and there are more.
We're getting more, would yousay.
We're getting more peopleapplying for aid than we've ever
gotten before.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, definitely.
And don't forget, while we'rehere, we just launched the new
Aftermath Foundation website.
So, to everyone tuning in,please go check it out, give us
your feedback.
The aftermathfoundationorg hasall kinds of new features that
we're really just happy to haveonline and in operation now.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
So yeah, and I hope it's okay to mention that.
You know now that we havereally seen how much funds we
can raise online and that we canpretty much do it whenever we
need to.
I think it's probably fair tosay that there's applications
that we've had to disapprove inthe past that, moving forward,
we would absolutely approvebecause we know we can raise the
(08:11):
money Right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yes.
I completely agree with that,absolutely.
And also, too, we've talkedwith some people recently that
were like, well, we didn'treally think we fit the purpose.
You know what?
Come to us, at least have aconversation, because we've also
(08:34):
now developed way moreadditional programs.
I think it's fair to say wherewe are making ways to help
people, whether it be financialaid, education, mental health
help, career mentorship, allkinds of things.
So we're really working toprovide a panoply of ways in
which we can help people whohave suffered the aftermath of
(08:55):
Scientology.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Right, that's a great point that you made, aaron.
I'm glad you brought that up,because we all felt bad at some
stage earlier on when we didn'thave the funds to be able to
fund everyone and we would getrequests and we would say, well,
if we fund this and then wehave someone next week who is
actually trying to escape theSea Org, we're not going to be
(09:19):
able to help them because wedon't have the money.
So we have to be sort of frugalalmost in meeting out whatever
resources we had.
But now things are a littledifferent in the world of the
Aftermath Foundation and we havemuch more available resources
(09:41):
and would like to help as manypeople as we possibly can.
So I'm really glad you broughtthat up, aaron, because it's a
really good point.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, definitely.
I would love to get yourcomment on this, mike.
So factoring in, obviously youdid a blog post about this and,
aaron, you did a video aboutthis of the attacks that have
been ramping up on the AftermathFoundation.
My personal perspective on thisis that if Scientology thinks,
oh, they tend to completelynegate the human element, and I
(10:21):
think now it's fair to say OSApeople that are having to do the
logistics of attacking thefoundation can't be wondering in
the back of their mind like,hmm, maybe I could get some help
getting the heck out of here.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Well, I hope so, yeah , I hope so that Leah and I
talked about in in, I think, thelast thing, and I said, look,
when you're in OSA and you aredealing with these things,
because she, she was sort ofsaying, well, don't you ever
sort of think maybe this is notgood or you, you know, you
(10:59):
shouldn't really be doing this,or whatever.
Like the, the Julian Swartz'sand Kirsten katano's and linda
hamill's of the world arehardened, and by hardened I mean
they have been so heavilyindoctrinated for so long that
(11:21):
they are doing, um, perhaps oneof the toughest jobs there is to
do in Scientology and that whatthey are doing is so important
to the big picture of protectingScientology that they don't
(11:42):
believe anything that anybodysays.
They just write it off as like,even if it's true, it doesn't
matter, it's this person stillan SP trying to destroy
Scientology.
And even if what is said aboutpeople being beaten up it's sort
(12:03):
of like, yeah, okay, but that'snot the worst thing that's
happened to anybody on theirwhole track, and we're all tough
and we can survive.
And more importantly is that weachieve the aims of Scientology
and that we are the ones thatare standing strong against the
suppression, and that is themindset that they have now
(12:27):
eventually, all of us had amoment where we went, and this
has gone a step too far yeah,whatever it
is, and it's different for everyperson.
It's like that.
One last thing and you go.
Okay, that's enough, I'm done.
I've thought about it, I'verejected it, I've convinced
(12:53):
myself that I shouldn't leave.
I've done this, I've done that,but now, okay, I'm done.
What causes that is, like Isaid, different for every single
person and those people.
One of the big fears that thosepeople have is that if they
(13:14):
leave, they have nowhere to go.
They're going to end up a bumon the street.
They've been told they're goingto die of cancer.
They've been told this.
They've been told that, toldthey're going to die of cancer,
they've been told this.
They've been told that, like,all of those things go through
their mind and I think thatperhaps the most likely thing
that might be the trigger thatpushes someone over the edge is
(13:38):
finding out about the optomethfoundation.
I really do believe that yeahbecause I know we all went
through that like where am Igonna go, like if I get, if I
get out the gate or over thefence or whatever, where am I?
What am I gonna do?
What's gonna like, what's therest of my life gonna be?
(13:58):
So that I think is is reallyimportant and I think it's one
of of the intangible thingsabout the Aftermath Foundation
that is really important andreally invaluable Totally.
And you know we've had peoplewho have reached out to us now
(14:20):
that have said that, have said,well, I found out about the
Aftermath Foundation and that'swhat caused me to finally leave.
Yeah, so you know it's a reallygood thing.
No-transcript who are waitingfor a call to go pick someone up
(15:16):
and drop them off at theairport.
And because we have monetaryresources now, we can do
anything, Basically anything.
I I mean fly someone fromaustralia back to the United
States.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And that's what they're so afraid of.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yes, oh yeah, and congratulations, by the way, on
200,000 subscribers.
So it's a formidable force.
Yeah, I remember the first timeI was ever contacted by the
Aftermath Foundation to helpsomeone.
It was many years ago probably,when it was first started up
and I was in Seattle and someonewas escaping from the Seattle
(15:55):
org and needed to get transport,needed a U-Haul and stuff like
that, but they didn't have anyway of paying for it.
So I was contacted by Aaron thefirst time I think I ever spoke
to Aaron and went over to justrerouted my day, went over to
the U-Haul, met the person there, used my card, got the U-Haul
(16:19):
and the Aftermath Foundationpaid me back later, whatever,
and he was free.
So I just I've loved it fromthe beginning and I I love being
part of it and it's justsomething that gives the ability
for someone to get out and geton their feet.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Nice.
Let me just put this comment uphere real quick.
It says question does YouTubetake any percentage of the
donations, like they do forsuper chats?
The answer is no, they do nottake a portion.
All whatever you donate, thatentire amount goes to the
foundation for the fundraiserand they don't even charge
(16:56):
correct me if I'm wrong.
They don't charge anyprocessing fees or anything,
it's the full full.
They even cover the processingfees on the YouTube end.
So the full amount goes.
And the other thing is thatthere's not like sometimes when
you do a GoFundMe or use one ofthese fundraising platforms, you
have to have a goal and whenyou hit that goal, that's when
(17:23):
they pay out whatever thedonations were on YouTube.
If you don't, if you raise$5,000, $5,000 in donations in a
month, at the end of the monththey send you whatever's in the
in that donation, whatever it'sgotten up to.
So if it goes like I think inthis fundraiser, if we did
15,000 to a certain in the lastone we did for surge, if we did
up to 15 K, then they justtransferred the 15 K and if we
(17:44):
did another 10 K the next month,then they just transfer the
balance the next month.
So it's an ongoing fundraiserand there's very, there's very
little being taken away as itgoes through it.
Everything goes to the cause,so that's a great way to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Completely and, wow, thanks to the already over more
than 3,800 people joining ustoday.
Amazing to have you here and Isee that.
So the figure that you see onthe screen, which is currently
5,410, that is the check thatgoes just directly to the
Aftermath Foundation.
It's processed through Networkfor Good and it's completely
(18:22):
independent.
So our channels are all linkedto that, and hats off to Aaron
for testing this, because it's abeautiful thing.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Hey, I don't see any number.
Where am I supposed?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
to see the number?
Yeah, where supposed to see it?
Oh, so you pull up.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
If you pull up your own youtube feed yes it'll be at
the top of the comment section,the top of the live chat yes,
my own youtube feed.
Okay, aaron, you know so like,like if you open up yeah, not in
stream yard like if you pull upan internet browser and you
just go to your own channel.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not even the back end .
Speaker 6 (18:57):
With the front end, like you're watching it as you
work.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I'm hitting that now.
I'll see if I can find it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There it is.
It's pretty amazing.
It's already jumped up to 5,800just in the last few seconds
that we were talking about this.
So absolutely amazing.
We're so grateful for all thesupport and so many exciting
things coming up.
So, and, and of course, toreiterate, we are all all of us
(19:25):
here are board members and weall volunteer our time.
We do not get paid.
This is our passion, and youknow what better way to make up
for, for example, for me, the 30years I spent in scientology,
than to help people who I cancompletely relate to.
I know the position they're in,I know the challenges they face
(19:46):
, and helping them get out isjust an amazing capacity so I
have a little gimmick, a littlecaper.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
So someone had suggested.
This is my press badge for theDanny Masterson trial that was
issued for SPTV.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yes, yeah, love it.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Somebody suggested that I sign it and date it and
auction it off to the highestdonor, and they opened the
bidding at $400.
So what I've decided is whoevermakes the biggest donation is
just going to get this, and thatbar is going to be high,
because I also promised that Iwould make certain donations
when I reach certain subscribernumbers, and I do believe I owe
(20:29):
a thousand dollar donation tothe foundation which I just made
I guess you can only see it ifyou're in my live stream, so I
just donated a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Wow, nice, very cool.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So if someone's like, oh wait, I already donated 400,
like whoever like, just send methe email.
Um, cause we can't, actually wedon't have a running record of
all the donors we don't have.
I don't think there's we have.
I don't think it generates thatfor us, right?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It does on the back end.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Right, but we would have to put it into a
spreadsheet and all that stuff.
So if someone makes more than$1,000 worth of donations today,
just send me the emails, yourlittle email receipts, and I'll
send you this, signed and dated,and you can do whatever you
want with it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Nice, that's amazing.
Way to up the bar.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
And right now we're up to $7,486 on this fundraiser
right now.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Wow, that's not bad for 20 minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
No yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Well, I mean, we could do some other stuff too,
if this works.
I don't know what works, andthis isn't my first one.
I mean, if someone like I'm notgoing for $1,000 for Aaron's
press card, but if someonedonates $250, I'll send them a
signed edition of my book.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Perfect.
That's nice Good.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Nice so.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Mike, they would probably have to send you their
email receipt.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, exactly, I mean, I guess I could see it on the
chat.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
But you can only see it on your chat.
You won't be able to see peoplewho are donating on the other
chats.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Okay, All right.
Well, if that happens, you cansend it to me at my blog.
Just keep an eye out for a $250donation and I'll do 10 of them
.
Wow, wow, holy moly.
Wow, if 10 people donate $250,I'll do 10 books.
(22:30):
You know whatever.
Do 10 books, if you knowwhatever.
If you donate 250 bucks todayto this fundraiser, I and tell
me what message you want, I willsend you a signed copy of my
book wow, that's amazing okayyeah, amazing, yeah, wonderful
yes someone's saying.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
someone's saying that someone else already donated a
thousand dollars, so I'm goingto go up in this stream, but so
email me if you're the one whodonated a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Email me growingupinscientologyatgmailcom
.
But then what if somebodydonates something more than that
?
Then what?
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They're the new winner.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's how it goes.
I've been to these auctions.
They're auctioned off footballs, signed footballs and stuff,
and somebody go like 10,000 andthen somebody would be like
$11,000.
And you're like, I just bollardout with $10,000 and somebody
just one-upped me by that muchyou know, $10,005.
And you're just like, oh, comeon, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But the difference in an auction is you don't have to
pay if you don't win.
No, no.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I think at the auctions we do every entry.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You.
No, I think at the auctions wedo every entry.
You have to buy each entry atthese.
Yeah, they get it all.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, that's one of those school fundraisers?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
yes, one of the school fundraisers.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It doesn't matter who did what they all get.
They get every money from everyperson.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
So that's a raffle, though that's, that's, yeah,
you're right, it's like a raffle.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
it's not, that's a raffle.
Yeah, you're right, it's like araffle.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Oh, it's a raffle.
It's not an auction, because anauction you don't have to do
that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's true.
Yes, it's a raffle.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (23:59):

If that's $2,500 to the foundation, yeah, great.
I mean it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I'll have to get copies of the book, but yeah,
you know, I'll just say itbecause people are already
prodding me I'll do the samething.
If you donate 250, claire and Iwill do a personalized
inscription in the front of thebook, and we'll do 10 people.
Now you have to say, though,which one you want, because now
(25:44):
that Mike's doing it and nowpeople are asking me why I won't
do it.
Because, you know, I dounderstand Some people already
bought Mike's book, and theymight already have a signed copy
, but they don't have my book.
Vice versa, so I get it.
Yes, denver, steve-o.
Um, I will do the same I woulddo the same too.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I would do the same if anyone wants my if anyone
wants my measly because it'spaperback, yeah there you go,
like you know.
Thank you by the way yeah, well, my book's coming out in
paperback soon.
I don't know when I justfinished writing a new afterward
for it, oh nice oh nice, that's.
(26:31):
So that'll be interesting.
We'll see what Scientology getsup to when it's announced
that's coming out.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
It went kind of bloody the last time.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You know they can't stop the tidal wave.
It's literally a tidal wave andthey're just not able to stop.
I love the new people comingout too, like Sterling and Biddy
.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I mean, how good is that to see Biddy coming out and
speaking and a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Anyway, there's going to be a lot more coming too.
I'll tell you a lot of peoplethat hadn't come out.
These are people that wereopenly against what Scientology
was doing.
But a lot of these people hadsigned documents and had made
agreements with Scientology andthose people, for decades or
whatever, didn't feel that theycould speak out.
(27:25):
And seeing everybody else whosigned almost all the exact same
documents on YouTube or writinga book or telling their story,
and so it's getting to a pointnow where pretty much everybody
who has some sort of agreementwith Scientology that
Scientology, in almost all cases, forced them to sign without
(27:45):
having legal representation,didn't give them copies of the
documents, blah, blah, blah.
It's now pretty much commonknowledge that these agreements
are useless and they cannot beum upheld in a court of law.
You cannot make someone sign adocument to give up their rights
um and also to report thingsthat were illegal to law
(28:06):
enforcement or the authorities.
Glad that these other people arecoming out and it's it's
amazing to see.
I mean, it was kind of crazywhen it got up to 20 channels.
I think we might be up to 50individual channels of people
that are.
You know, they might do a videoonce a week.
They might do a video once amonth and some of them are doing
five videos a day.
So, um, uh, it's a wide rangeof people telling their stories
(28:31):
and I really love that.
People are getting to the pointwhere they feel safe enough to
do it.
And then, at the other hand, ifyou think that there's not
going to be a little bit ofbacklash from Scientology, you
might be mistaken on that point.
I just want to put that outthere, because some people are
signing up and they're allexcited and then they're like
hey, these guys are privateinvestigators at my house.
(28:54):
And you're like, well, okay,yeah, they're trying to scare
you off at that first point.
But if you can put up with alittle bit of nonsense, you'll
be okay.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, and you have a lot of people that have your
back too, and also I signedthose stupid things on video.
You know that I have to pay $10million every time I speak out
or every time I come into thecity of Clearwater, or whatever
it said.
So I moved to Clearwater andI've been speaking out for 18
years.
You know it's just like.
(29:24):
You just have to say I'm notgoing to be bullied, period.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean I signed something and said that I'd
never go back into Clearwateragain and I was dropping off
some of that public at thesuperpower building this morning
driving Uber.
No, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Matt does it all the time Matt drives into the circle
of the sandcastle.
Yes, matt, tell that story.
They're like do you know whereto go, do you know where?
And you're like, yeah, I builtthe fountain, babe, come on, I
know where to go.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Exactly, I can just see it now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I can just see it now .
The security guards are likequick, pull the footage, see who
got dropped off by the yeahthey can pull it.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Did he say anything to you?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, and put them in for a confessional to find out
what was revealed?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It'll be one of those things.
This is very common inScientology.
I remember when we were Sea Orgmembers in Florida and you'd go
down to the one-stop shop oryou'd go here and you'd get some
stuff, and then there'd be awhole period where it's like no
one's allowed to shop at theone-stop shop or any of the
stores.
Everyone has to buy stuff fromthe Scientology canteens and you
(30:33):
know little stores, and soit'll be one of these things.
It'll be like oh, this is goingto send something over to a
flag and they'll say no one cantake Uber anymore down in
Clearwater because there's SPUber drivers.
No Uber, uber's canceled, onlyLyft now until Matt signs up for
a Lyft account.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I don't know what they're going to do Close the
whole town down.
I mean, I walk through downtown, I go into the one-stop shop, I
mean, so they got a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yes, Because they all know you right, matt yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
And I'll give them a free ride any place they want to
go.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
We're up to 1229, 12 297 guys we are.
I mean this, this fundraiser ismaybe one of the best we've
done so far, just in terms oftime, in terms of 30 minutes.
We've done 12k in 30 minutes,so that's pretty that's pretty
cool.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Train us how to do the fireworks thing.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Somebody just asked is it doing it?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
do you have to do it?
I honestly don't know why youhave to have 200,000.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I don't know why it doesn't work for everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh, that's so weird.
I'm going to complain to oh youknow what.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Maybe it's because I have the $100 a month StreamYard
account.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
But it's, oh no, but here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Is it a StreamY?
I promise you it's a streamer.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Okay, I was on a lot.
I did a video with Shalice andShalice Ansola of Colts to
Consciousness and I was on.
We weren't on StreamYardNeither of us were and whenever
I went like that it did a littlethumbs up in my video.
So I'm not sure.
Anyway, nobody knows.
(32:16):
Come on, nobody knows.
Aaron's got some sort ofAaron's got some Harry Potter
magic on his stream that nobodyelse has.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We're trying, we're just like the.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Time we hit another thousand.
Let's do a balloon.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We have to make Aaron's going balloons.
We have to make Aaron Aaron'sgoing to be Mr Party Tricks.
Whenever something happens, goAaron, make the screen, do
something.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Party tricks.
Oh my gosh, someone in the livechat actually, I'm going to ask
for it because someonepreviously in the live chat put
all of the different gesturesand what it makes happen, so
someone was able to go find outwhat's causing these things and
what gestures like.
There's a whole list of them.
It's almost like the you knowthe up up, down down, left,
right, left, right thing onNintendo.
(33:04):
You know the cheat codes.
The cheat codes, yes.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, somebody sent that to us as well, but it just
doesn't work for me.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Oh, I don't know what the deal is.
Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Maybe you have to have a certain number of
subscribers.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Maybe you have to shave your hair off.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Maybe that's what it is.
It could be that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Claire Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Claire.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
No thanks, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm out.
That's a no-go.
I'll ask the StreamYard godsand see what they have to say
about it Up, up, down downbutton button fire, fire twice
twice.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
What's crazy about this is I'm not even the host of
this stream, so that takes thatout of the equation.
That's not why it's working,but also.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
oh, but you are using StreamYard.
Yeah, I don't know.
We don't know why it does itguys.
We don't know why it does itguys.
We really don't, otherwise we'dbe able to do it.
I thought it was a funny thingthat Shalice was doing.
Whenever I would use my hands,these little questions, these
little thumbs up, would appearon the video and I'm like, why
did she do that for her but shedidn't do it for?
Or why'd she do that on me andnot for?
Speaker 3 (34:08):
her.
I was like, look at that yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I just saw it.
I don't know how he's doing it,that's kind of cool.
Yeah, give a thumbs up.
What those are for was if youlike the video, you've got to
give us a thumbs up, and alsosubscribing.
Thumbs down.
Oh, thumbs down, let's see.
I've got the feed playing overhere so I can see.
Oh, it did something.
Don't thumbs down the video.
(34:32):
God forbid that gives you poopemojis.
Yeah, anyway, if you haven'tsubscribed to any of our
channels, we do.
Would appreciate it if you didthat.
And um, always liking um thevideos always helps the
algorithm.
And um, we are trying to get um, everybody that's in this
(34:54):
little network loose networksptv.
We're trying to get everybodythat's in this little network,
loose network SPTV.
We're trying to get everybody'schannels kind of going.
And right after this video, inabout a half an hour, mitch
Brisker and I are going to doour second videos in a series
where we talk about how we madeall these internal films for
Scientology.
We're going to do the secondfilm in about 25 minutes from
(35:16):
now.
So this, all of these feeds, nomatter which channel you're
watching on, we'll feed intothat video.
And when that video starts,we'd love it If you give Mitch's
channel a, a like and asubscribe.
That'd be good for him too.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, and and just again.
Wow, look at the power of SPTVNation right here in terms of
supporting the AftermathFoundation.
We've been here 35 minutes andit's almost at 13,000.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
So thank you to everybody.
That is amazing.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, it just really is.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
And thank you to we've got 4,500 people watching
live right now too.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Yeah, and for anyone who's watching on the replay,
because I see some people askinghow do I donate?
How do I donate when you have astream like this that's linked
to a fundraiser?
The super chat function iserased and in place of the super
chat function is a donatebutton.
So if you look over in thecomments section, there should
(36:10):
just be a button that saysdonate.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So yeah, should just be a button that says donate, um
, so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, let's, speaking of that,let's show some of the uh
comments here real quick, um,and if we see if you guys have
got any questions, um, then wecan also, uh, we can answer some
of those too.
Kaz fern says greetings fromdallas, texas, everyone.
Thank you, kaz, we appreciatethat.
Um, we got carol d hi all fromEssex, nice.
(36:33):
And then we've got from Smokeyyes, still, forest Fires.
Edmonton, albert, canada.
Thanks for that, jazzy, sorry,you're still getting smoked out
up there.
Central Victoria, australia,from Kat Baloo.
And we've got somebody highfrom Exota, appalachia, exotic,
(36:54):
yeah, connecticut, love, sptv.
Exotic, yeah, connecticut, love, sptv.
Thank you, patty.
And then we've got Denmarkchecking in Relaxed Llama Drama.
I like that name Relaxed LlamaDrama.
Hi guys Checking in fromDenmark.
And then we've got question whydoesn't someone put up a board
(37:15):
on with join the aftermathfoundation when you leave and
wander back and forth outsidetheir HQ?
Oh, like a, like a billboard.
Yeah, we spent, we spent mostof our money on helping people
and the little promotion that wedo we mainly just do on YouTube
and that seems to be workingout very well.
(37:37):
So we're not really, and alsowe're not as much as we'd like
to target individualScientologists or Scientologists
at an organization if an SP.
I don't know how it is in LosAngeles, I know how it is in
Florida and at the base, if anSP is identified and they're
outside the building, they justtell all the staff to close the
blinds.
(37:57):
So as soon as, as soon as an SPeven if an SP is just showing up
, like not even with a sign,just there's an SP going to walk
up and down the highway at thebase.
Everyone has to stay insidetheir buildings with the blinds
closed until the SP leaves, sothat they don't accidentally
hear something that the SP says.
(38:19):
Like there have been SPs thatgo to the base and yell stuff
inside and they just keepeverybody inside until he's done
yelling.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
With the music, me and Tom DeVock.
Me and Tom DeVock go downtownand they change the bus routes
and the dinner time in order tohave the staff avoid me and Tom
DeVock being sitting downtown inClearwater.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yep, yeah, so that's one of the because we know that
is one of the reasons that abillboard or one of these trucks
with a video wall on it drivingaround Clearwater it would
certainly maybe make the newsand be like a sensational thing,
but as far as Scientologistsseeing it, they likely very few
would.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Guys, some people are commenting certain geographies,
for whatever reason, can'tdonate on YouTube.
But, guys, if you're like inAustralia, sometimes they say
that Sometimes people in Canadasay that If you go to the
website, website, the aftermathfoundationorg, you should be
able to donate directly on thewebsite.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, and if and if and if you want, if you do
donate and you do want a book,or just say which person's book
you want in the little note whenyou do the donation and we can
make sure, um, that that gets toMike or me or Amy or whoever
you want the book from.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Um, another thing that should be mentioned,
because this is you know, thenonprofit sector is notorious
for spending most of their moneypaying their own staff, and I
was looking at Ashton Kutcher'snonprofit just to be the dead
horse.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
His previous nonprofit.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Guys in like 2021,.
They brought in like 1818 or$19 million, and $14 million of
that went to employeecompensation.
Wow, so the board of theAftermath Foundation receives
zero money, zero compensation ofany kind whatsoever, that is
amazing.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
We can pretty much guarantee that any money that
you send to the AftermathFoundation is going to be spent
on the people who need it to getout of Scientology and get back
on their feet.
We don't have any otherexpenses.
We're not doing advertisingcampaigns.
(40:31):
We're not spending it on PRfirms to represent us or
anything of the sort.
It all just is there, availableto be distributed to those in
need is there available to bedistributed to those in need.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
And, ironically, I bet you we individually spend
more time working on thenonprofit than most of those
people that are getting thatmoney, those large sums.
I bet you we work on it more ina week than they work on it in
a week.
Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
And we should mention , too, that the Aftermath
Foundation was just approved asa charity for the combined
federal campaign, which meansthat all federal employees can
opt to support the AftermathFoundation.
We have our CFC number added onthe Aftermath Foundation
website as well, and thatprocess and scrutiny is
(41:26):
something to behold, but we wereapproved, which is amazing, and
so yeah, yeah.
And what?
Speaker 5 (41:32):
does that mean Claire ?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
It means that all federal employees nationally can
opt to support the AftermathFoundation with pre-tax dollars
and so they have likecompetitions between offices,
for example of who can like 100percent employee involvement,
for example in supportingcharities of their choice, and
(41:55):
if they don't select a charitythen it just gets spread between
the all the charities that areapproved, but if they do select
a charity then it goesspecifically to that charity of
their choosing.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
And isn't there a dollar matching thing?
Yeah, don't they have a dollarmatching thing as?
Speaker 2 (42:13):
well, I'd have to look at how exactly that works,
so I can't.
I'll research that and figurethat out, but definitely it's.
It's a program that is highlypromoted within, you know, for
federal employees.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
That's amazing, Claire.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
It is, and from the few people that we've dealt with
that are knowledgeable innonprofits, they say if you have
that, that is sort of a bigdeal in the not-for-profit
community, that if you'reapproved by those, yes, it's
like having an A rating from theBBB yes.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
And ironically, this was recommended to us as a
program from a federal employeeconnected to somebody we helped
escape.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Well, that's how those things?
Speaker 1 (42:55):
work.
Yeah, when that story gets told, it will be the most ironic of
people to know about theaftermath.
Speaker 6 (43:06):
Someone in the live chat says the CFC drive is
coming up soon.
Opt for the AftermathFoundation.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Nice.
So yeah, if you're a federal,if you're a US federal employee
and you have an option to donatesome of your income, or however
it works on your system, if youchoose the aftermath, that
would be amazing.
We would appreciate that?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yes, oh, that's terrific.
Yes, so should we close outwith questions and any last
updates?
And then, because we just havea firm 3 pm mountain time cutoff
here, right, so we have 16minutes left.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Sure, let's rip through these last questions.
I've got up here.
The Wanderer says Sure, let'srip through these last questions
.
I've got up here.
The Wanderer says so I assume a$750 donation would get all
three books and a $1,000 wouldbe in advance for Claire's book
too.
Correct, sure, if you want todo that.
(44:08):
But then that means I don'tknow, because we've got the
whole Aaron press card thing.
Speaker 6 (44:10):
So you'd have to say if you donate $1,000, do you
want the press card or thinkmaybe even the press card is
going to have to be a higher?
The highest donation gets thepress card.
Yeah so someone's alreadydonated a thousand and 10 or
something you know.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So yeah, a thousand would be.
If you say books, then yeah, weuh, claire, now you're, now
you've already you're sellingbooks, so you do have to finish
this book.
There was somebody put up acomment.
Somebody's doingdouble-clicking comments in the
background.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Sorry, that was my bad.
I was just trying to start andthe chat was flying by so fast.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
You know, I get asteristically challenged.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Here we go.
It took 44 minutes, but she'sdouble-tapping.
There you go, guys.
Bob Sweet question Do you thinkyou could all get together to
do a road show?
I think you'd sell out venues.
You know, I thought about this,guys.
The only thing that's not sogreat about a road show is then
we have to travel, we have tospend money on travel and,
(45:05):
depending on how many people youcan get to show up at any
different place, there's just alot of logistics and expenses
involved.
And right now we can do allthis from here individually,
being in all different places,and it's not, you know, it's not
un.
It takes up the time, but wedon't have to go anywhere.
So I think it's more convenientfor all of us to do it this way
(45:27):
.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
Listen, just as a comment about that.
We could do one in Clearwater.
Yes.
Yeah, I was going to suggestthat you two could come to
Clearwater because Aaron and meand Christy and Amy and Matt are
all here.
Yeah, so we could do one inClearwater.
We could do the Capitol Theater.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
I'm pretty sure that we could do one in Clearwater.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
We could do the Capitol Theater, and I'm pretty
sure that we could do one eitherat the Capitol Theater, because
those guys love us.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, we also have a very good connection.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, because those guys love us.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
We just made an amazing connection for that, or
at the Calvary Baptist Church,because those guys love us.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, and we have done so in the past, guys, and
the problem we had on that onewas we didn't have the venues
sort of locked up on our sideand we we did what was that
thing called?
What did we call it SP con orwe called it something.
We went and did a tour of allthe buildings and a bunch of us
went um.
The press came, uh, mark Bunkerwas there and we did a tour of
(46:27):
Brown, clearwater and all theplaces that we were going to
have like a meetup afterwardsrestaurants or bars or whatever
Scientology went and talked tothem and said if you host these
guys, we're never, ever comingto your restaurant for the rest
of time.
Right?
Is that essentially whathappened, aaron?
Speaker 6 (46:42):
Yeah, yeah, they scared everyone off to host our
huge group.
So we had to drive like 20minutes out of town to go get
some tacos somewhere.
We yeah, they scared everyoneoff to host our huge group
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
So we had to drive like 20 minutes out of town to
go get some tacos somewhere.
We couldn't even do it inClearwater.
So yes, if we did it, we woulddefinitely use one of these
locales that is not going to bebullied by Scientology.
Speaker 5 (47:03):
Right, but it's something to think about.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
It is.
Speaker 5 (47:09):
I mean we could live stream and have a live audience,
Right.
But it's something to thinkabout.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Yeah, I mean we could .
We could live stream and have alive audience.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
Yes, that would be amazing.
We're in, we're in it would bepretty fun.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
It would be very fun.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
We have to think about that, okay, good, good
question.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Great, great input you something might happen, okay
.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Sptv tattoo warrior question.

I didn't think Mike Rinderwould ever leave.
That was a real and I've toldthis story before.
When he first left I was likeyou better watch yourself, guys.
This guy's done this before andbeen a spy.
Ok, that was the first thing Itold everybody.
It's like I remember being inmeetings.
I remember being in meetingswith Dave and Mike and they
(49:39):
would reminisce about thislittle spy versus spy thing that
happened.
Is this?
Am I, am I telling?
Am I spinning a tale here?
Mike happened.
Is this?
Am I am I telling?
Am I spinning a tale here, mike?
No, yeah, they always tell thetruth, they, no, they.
They were talking and they weretalking about how mike had, I
guess, uh blown and then waskind of in with the sps or
(50:00):
something like that no, no, no,it was.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
It was back with jerry armstrong, okay, when I
was pretending to be, uh, aloyalist who was anti the new
breed of management and wantedto help jerry take, take down
scientology from within yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
So when he first escaped, I was like I don't know
, be careful, guys.
This is.
He's done this before.

Center.
Speaker 3 (51:19):
No, thank you.
Speaker 1 (51:20):

Unfortunately we know all theauditors there and that is not
high quality auditing.
Um.
Pm Glenny question.
Um, can we get a list of allthe SP channels?
Somehow?
Is there a central locationwhere SPT, sp nation can find
all the SPTV creators?
Now you know, I'm going to sayyes, there is.
(51:41):
I don't have a link to itnecessarily, but there is.
Like there's a discord serverthat's got a stuff, uh, got a
bunch of lists on it and thenthere's somebody else who's made
it.
There's so many differentpeople that made lists,
unfortunately I don't need toknow all of them, so I haven't
really sought out the list, butI'm sure we can find it and
we'll post it somewhere.
Thank you, colette says LOL.
(52:02):
Who is starring these comments?
Obg Foster Question how manypeople are left in DM's orbit
who actually knew LRH?
How many people are left inDM's orbit that actually knew
LRH?
Speaker 3 (52:18):
Can I just say real quick we made 15,000 so far.
So we need Aaron to do histhumbs up.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Or he's got to do balloons oh wow, look at that.
Aaron Fireworks oh my gosh.
To do balloons oh wow, look atthat.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
Aaron Fireworks.

There you go.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Wow Confetti.
Speaker 6 (52:39):
Oh wow, that wasn't balloons this time.
That is amazing.
So I think one of them isballoons, if I go one there it
is.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
Let's answer this question.
Obg Foster, how many people areleft in DM's orbit who actually
knew LRH?
Well, still, diana is stillthere.
Oh no, she's not with himanymore, though, because she's
at the base Right.
I don't think there's anyone.
You're right, larisse wasn'taround, no, and none of the
people that worked most of thepeople that worked directly with
(53:10):
Dave are pretty young, likethey came in in the 90s or the
2000s, so they weren't evenalive when LRH was alive.
Speaker 5 (53:19):
Generally, he has wheedled away at those who were
or knew Hubbard because of thatvery fact.
Yeah, they represented apotential threat to him because
because they knew hubbard, theymay be able to rally some
(53:41):
support for themselves.
You know the norman stockies orthe greghers, or you know even
Jaeger and Mark Ingber and meand Lizzie, but we all were on
the Apollo and all worked withHubbard.
Yeah, there were others from LaQuinta who did too, and they
(54:03):
are all gone.
Wow, yeah, that makes sense.
I think this one does something.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
Oh my God, I think you have to do it clear of yours
.
I think it needs to be isolated.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
It figures it out better.
There you go.
Yeah, both sides, there you go.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Wow, oh my God Doing a rave over there.
Aaron's got to.
I know this is.
Do it in the wood section,aaron, that can be more isolated
.
Uh oh.
Speaker 4 (54:31):
Isn't that some?
Speaker 1 (54:34):
Don't turn that upside down, Aaron.

Well, the top right.
All the bottom, the top right.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
How do I move to the bottom row?
Because my approach is killthem with kindness, so I think I
should move to the bottom row.
Come on now, folks.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So we've got a lot of people here today In the chat.
We've got people from Ontario,from Idaho, from.
We had some from the UK.
Did you star those, claire?
We want to know if this is infact.
Can you pull up that comment?
Before the stream went live, wenoticed a particular here we go
(02:02):
.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I got it here.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Danielle Chamberlain hi from the UK, both with Nev
and I in the room, and if that'sNeville Chamberlain, that is a
very famous Scientologist fromEngland, from the I want to say
60s, and 70s.
Yep, yep, yep.
Well, hello guys, hello,danielle and Nev, if you are in
(02:24):
fact the same Nev we're thinkingof.
We are doing a fundraiser today, guys.
So we did a fundraiser.
The last fundraiser, bigfundraiser we did was for the
story of Surge video that wepremiered on all of our channels
, and who knows what?
The tally on that is claire, dowe?
(02:46):
Or, aaron?
Do we know what the tally onthat one is?
I think we were up to like 80,90, 100 000 uh views on that
between all the channels oh, theviews I don't know.
Oh well, we got a lot of uh, wegot a lot of eyes on that, and
claire does know what the finalfundraising total was on that
right or what it is to this date.
(03:06):
It kind of is always adding toit.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah Well, that's the beauty of doing these
fundraisers on YouTube is itdoesn't have an end, so anyone
can donate at any time.
But we figured we would give afew important updates in regards
to Surge.
Important updates in regards toSerge.
It's crazy how many people havetold us people that Serge grew
(03:36):
up with and that he knew in hischildhood that Scientology told
them he had died.
And we've since found out thatthey not only told it to people
in Scientology, but they alsotold this to some of Serge's
family members who were never inScientology.
So there's been some amazingreconnections taking place as a
result of airing Serge's story.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's so good yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mark you're mute.
One of the things that wethought was a little odd when we
were doing the video with Sergeis that he kept mentioning I
want them to know I'm stillalive and we thought, well, that
would I mean.
Why would they think he waspassed away?
Like somebody would have totell people that out, that that
(04:25):
is what they were told.
And and even people that werejust that, just kind of knew,
surge in a J surge adjacent,heard that he had passed away,
so um.
So he made a lot of friends, hisum, his contact list is growing
every week in terms of peoplethat grew up in the cadet org
with him and that are nowoutside of Scientology as well
as just family members, are nowoutside of Scientology as well
(04:46):
as just family members.
He found out that he had ahalf-sister he never knew about
and he got to meet her and hermother, and so it's really the
story is really turning out tohave a happier and happier
ending for Surge in all of thisand the people that have sent in
on our channel, on the BFGchannel, some people were
sending in donations that theywanted to go straight to Serge
(05:09):
and so he's been getting thoseand he does appreciate that and
he does read the comments in thevideos on the story of Serge.
So if you want to send amessage to Serge, put it in the
comments and he will likely seethat.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
You know, when I was just out in LA for the Masterson
trial stuff, I got a chance tomeet Serge for the first time.
I'd never met him before andSerge has been doing a whole art
project with the other Serge,serge Del Mar.
And Serge said, you know,before I lost my hands, I was an
artist.
I said what kind of art did youdo?
He said fine art.
And Serge, and you know, beforeI lost my hands, I was an
(05:45):
artist.
And I said what kind of art didyou do?
He said fine art.
And Serge and Serge have beendoing this whole thing.
I mean, he's sitting there, youknow, eating this meal which,
by the way, it's amazing howSerge can eat, you know, with
his prosthetics and he's likecan you cut this pizza for me?
I'm like can you eat that?
And he's like yeah, let me showyou.
(06:07):
And he's amazing, when hestarted talking about the art
project, his whole face just litup like he is loving this thing
he's doing with serge damar.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
yeah, amazing I know serge valensky has texted me
some pictures of some of thework he's been doing, and it is
just so amazing to see himrekindled, despite what happened
.
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well, you know, if you watch in the in the surge
video, the story of surge video,when he first gets his hook on
for the first time, I think itwas, how many years was it since
he used him?
14 years, it was 14 years.
He didn't have hooks.
As soon as they put these hookson him, they give him a pen and
he signs his name in theseflowing letters and he signs it
(06:52):
perfectly for the first time in14 years and he has so much
mental memory.
That is he is amazing withthose hooks.
You, you would.
I mean, just like Aaron wassaying, I've seen him eat soup
with no hooks.
So the fact that he can, youknow, do stuff with with the
(07:15):
hooks.
It's pretty amazing.
So that's so that I thinkthat's the update on surge.
More to come, and the aftermathhas other people that we are
working with and there are more.
We're getting more, would yousay.
We're getting more peopleapplying for aid than we've ever
gotten before.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, definitely.
And don't forget, while we'rehere, we just launched the new
Aftermath Foundation website.
So, to everyone tuning in,please go check it out, give us
your feedback.
The aftermathfoundationorg hasall kinds of new features that
we're really just happy to haveonline and in operation now.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
So yeah, and I hope it's okay to mention that.
You know now that we havereally seen how much funds we
can raise online and that we canpretty much do it whenever we
need to.
I think it's probably fair tosay that there's applications
that we've had to disapprove inthe past that, moving forward,
we would absolutely approvebecause we know we can raise the
(08:11):
money Right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yes.
I completely agree with that,absolutely.
And also, too, we've talkedwith some people recently that
were like, well, we didn'treally think we fit the purpose.
You know what?
Come to us, at least have aconversation, because we've also
(08:34):
now developed way moreadditional programs.
I think it's fair to say wherewe are making ways to help
people, whether it be financialaid, education, mental health
help, career mentorship, allkinds of things.
So we're really working toprovide a panoply of ways in
which we can help people whohave suffered the aftermath of
(08:55):
Scientology.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Right, that's a great point that you made, aaron.
I'm glad you brought that up,because we all felt bad at some
stage earlier on when we didn'thave the funds to be able to
fund everyone and we would getrequests and we would say, well,
if we fund this and then wehave someone next week who is
actually trying to escape theSea Org, we're not going to be
(09:19):
able to help them because wedon't have the money.
So we have to be sort of frugalalmost in meeting out whatever
resources we had.
But now things are a littledifferent in the world of the
Aftermath Foundation and we havemuch more available resources
(09:41):
and would like to help as manypeople as we possibly can.
So I'm really glad you broughtthat up, aaron, because it's a
really good point.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, definitely.
I would love to get yourcomment on this, mike.
So factoring in, obviously youdid a blog post about this and,
aaron, you did a video aboutthis of the attacks that have
been ramping up on the AftermathFoundation.
My personal perspective on thisis that if Scientology thinks,
oh, they tend to completelynegate the human element, and I
(10:21):
think now it's fair to say OSApeople that are having to do the
logistics of attacking thefoundation can't be wondering in
the back of their mind like,hmm, maybe I could get some help
getting the heck out of here.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Well, I hope so, yeah , I hope so that Leah and I
talked about in in, I think, thelast thing, and I said, look,
when you're in OSA and you aredealing with these things,
because she, she was sort ofsaying, well, don't you ever
sort of think maybe this is notgood or you, you know, you
(10:59):
shouldn't really be doing this,or whatever.
Like the, the Julian Swartz'sand Kirsten katano's and linda
hamill's of the world arehardened, and by hardened I mean
they have been so heavilyindoctrinated for so long that
(11:21):
they are doing, um, perhaps oneof the toughest jobs there is to
do in Scientology and that whatthey are doing is so important
to the big picture of protectingScientology that they don't
(11:42):
believe anything that anybodysays.
They just write it off as like,even if it's true, it doesn't
matter, it's this person stillan SP trying to destroy
Scientology.
And even if what is said aboutpeople being beaten up it's sort
(12:03):
of like, yeah, okay, but that'snot the worst thing that's
happened to anybody on theirwhole track, and we're all tough
and we can survive.
And more importantly is that weachieve the aims of Scientology
and that we are the ones thatare standing strong against the
suppression, and that is themindset that they have now
(12:27):
eventually, all of us had amoment where we went, and this
has gone a step too far yeah,whatever it
is, and it's different for everyperson.
It's like that.
One last thing and you go.
Okay, that's enough, I'm done.
I've thought about it, I'verejected it, I've convinced
(12:53):
myself that I shouldn't leave.
I've done this, I've done that,but now, okay, I'm done.
What causes that is, like Isaid, different for every single
person and those people.
One of the big fears that thosepeople have is that if they
(13:14):
leave, they have nowhere to go.
They're going to end up a bumon the street.
They've been told they're goingto die of cancer.
They've been told this.
They've been told that, toldthey're going to die of cancer,
they've been told this.
They've been told that, like,all of those things go through
their mind and I think thatperhaps the most likely thing
that might be the trigger thatpushes someone over the edge is
(13:38):
finding out about the optomethfoundation.
I really do believe that yeahbecause I know we all went
through that like where am Igonna go, like if I get, if I
get out the gate or over thefence or whatever, where am I?
What am I gonna do?
What's gonna like, what's therest of my life gonna be?
(13:58):
So that I think is is reallyimportant and I think it's one
of of the intangible thingsabout the Aftermath Foundation
that is really important andreally invaluable Totally.
And you know we've had peoplewho have reached out to us now
(14:20):
that have said that, have said,well, I found out about the
Aftermath Foundation and that'swhat caused me to finally leave.
Yeah, so you know it's a reallygood thing.
No-transcript who are waitingfor a call to go pick someone up
(15:16):
and drop them off at theairport.
And because we have monetaryresources now, we can do
anything, Basically anything.
I I mean fly someone fromaustralia back to the United
States.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And that's what they're so afraid of.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yes, oh yeah, and congratulations, by the way, on
200,000 subscribers.
So it's a formidable force.
Yeah, I remember the first timeI was ever contacted by the
Aftermath Foundation to helpsomeone.
It was many years ago probably,when it was first started up
and I was in Seattle and someonewas escaping from the Seattle
(15:55):
org and needed to get transport,needed a U-Haul and stuff like
that, but they didn't have anyway of paying for it.
So I was contacted by Aaron thefirst time I think I ever spoke
to Aaron and went over to justrerouted my day, went over to
the U-Haul, met the person there, used my card, got the U-Haul
(16:19):
and the Aftermath Foundationpaid me back later, whatever,
and he was free.
So I just I've loved it fromthe beginning and I I love being
part of it and it's justsomething that gives the ability
for someone to get out and geton their feet.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Nice.
Let me just put this comment uphere real quick.
It says question does YouTubetake any percentage of the
donations, like they do forsuper chats?
The answer is no, they do nottake a portion.
All whatever you donate, thatentire amount goes to the
foundation for the fundraiserand they don't even charge
(16:56):
correct me if I'm wrong.
They don't charge anyprocessing fees or anything,
it's the full full.
They even cover the processingfees on the YouTube end.
So the full amount goes.
And the other thing is thatthere's not like sometimes when
you do a GoFundMe or use one ofthese fundraising platforms, you
have to have a goal and whenyou hit that goal, that's when
(17:23):
they pay out whatever thedonations were on YouTube.
If you don't, if you raise$5,000, $5,000 in donations in a
month, at the end of the monththey send you whatever's in the
in that donation, whatever it'sgotten up to.
So if it goes like I think inthis fundraiser, if we did
15,000 to a certain in the lastone we did for surge, if we did
up to 15 K, then they justtransferred the 15 K and if we
(17:44):
did another 10 K the next month,then they just transfer the
balance the next month.
So it's an ongoing fundraiserand there's very, there's very
little being taken away as itgoes through it.
Everything goes to the cause,so that's a great way to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Completely and, wow, thanks to the already over more
than 3,800 people joining ustoday.
Amazing to have you here and Isee that.
So the figure that you see onthe screen, which is currently
5,410, that is the check thatgoes just directly to the
Aftermath Foundation.
It's processed through Networkfor Good and it's completely
(18:22):
independent.
So our channels are all linkedto that, and hats off to Aaron
for testing this, because it's abeautiful thing.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Hey, I don't see any number.
Where am I supposed?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
to see the number?
Yeah, where supposed to see it?
Oh, so you pull up.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
If you pull up your own youtube feed yes it'll be at
the top of the comment section,the top of the live chat yes,
my own youtube feed.
Okay, aaron, you know so like,like if you open up yeah, not in
stream yard like if you pull upan internet browser and you
just go to your own channel.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not even the back end .
Speaker 6 (18:57):
With the front end, like you're watching it as you
work.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I'm hitting that now.
I'll see if I can find it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There it is.
It's pretty amazing.
It's already jumped up to 5,800just in the last few seconds
that we were talking about this.
So absolutely amazing.
We're so grateful for all thesupport and so many exciting
things coming up.
So, and, and of course, toreiterate, we are all all of us
(19:25):
here are board members and weall volunteer our time.
We do not get paid.
This is our passion, and youknow what better way to make up
for, for example, for me, the 30years I spent in scientology,
than to help people who I cancompletely relate to.
I know the position they're in,I know the challenges they face
(19:46):
, and helping them get out isjust an amazing capacity so I
have a little gimmick, a littlecaper.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
So someone had suggested.
This is my press badge for theDanny Masterson trial that was
issued for SPTV.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yes, yeah, love it.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Somebody suggested that I sign it and date it and
auction it off to the highestdonor, and they opened the
bidding at $400.
So what I've decided is whoevermakes the biggest donation is
just going to get this, and thatbar is going to be high,
because I also promised that Iwould make certain donations
when I reach certain subscribernumbers, and I do believe I owe
(20:29):
a thousand dollar donation tothe foundation which I just made
I guess you can only see it ifyou're in my live stream, so I
just donated a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Wow, nice, very cool.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So if someone's like, oh wait, I already donated 400,
like whoever like, just send methe email.
Um, cause we can't, actually wedon't have a running record of
all the donors we don't have.
I don't think there's we have.
I don't think it generates thatfor us, right?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It does on the back end.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Right, but we would have to put it into a
spreadsheet and all that stuff.
So if someone makes more than$1,000 worth of donations today,
just send me the emails, yourlittle email receipts, and I'll
send you this, signed and dated,and you can do whatever you
want with it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Nice, that's amazing.
Way to up the bar.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
And right now we're up to $7,486 on this fundraiser
right now.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Wow, that's not bad for 20 minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
No yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Well, I mean, we could do some other stuff too,
if this works.
I don't know what works, andthis isn't my first one.
I mean, if someone like I'm notgoing for $1,000 for Aaron's
press card, but if someonedonates $250, I'll send them a
signed edition of my book.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Perfect.
That's nice Good.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Nice so.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Mike, they would probably have to send you their
email receipt.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yes, exactly, I mean, I guess I could see it on the
chat.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
But you can only see it on your chat.
You won't be able to see peoplewho are donating on the other
chats.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Okay, All right.
Well, if that happens, you cansend it to me at my blog.
Just keep an eye out for a $250donation and I'll do 10 of them
.
Wow, wow, holy moly.
Wow, if 10 people donate $250,I'll do 10 books.
(22:30):
You know whatever.
Do 10 books, if you knowwhatever.
If you donate 250 bucks todayto this fundraiser, I and tell
me what message you want, I willsend you a signed copy of my
book wow, that's amazing okayyeah, amazing, yeah, wonderful
yes someone's saying.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
someone's saying that someone else already donated a
thousand dollars, so I'm goingto go up in this stream, but so
email me if you're the one whodonated a thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Email me growingupinscientologyatgmailcom
.
But then what if somebodydonates something more than that
?
Then what?
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They're the new winner.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's how it goes.
I've been to these auctions.
They're auctioned off footballs, signed footballs and stuff,
and somebody go like 10,000 andthen somebody would be like
$11,000.
And you're like, I just bollardout with $10,000 and somebody
just one-upped me by that muchyou know, $10,005.
And you're just like, oh, comeon, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But the difference in an auction is you don't have to
pay if you don't win.
No, no.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I think at the auctions we do every entry.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You.
No, I think at the auctions wedo every entry.
You have to buy each entry atthese.
Yeah, they get it all.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, that's one of those school fundraisers?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
yes, one of the school fundraisers.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It doesn't matter who did what they all get.
They get every money from everyperson.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
So that's a raffle, though that's, that's, yeah,
you're right, it's like a raffle.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
it's not, that's a raffle.
Yeah, you're right, it's like araffle.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Oh, it's a raffle.
It's not an auction, because anauction you don't have to do
that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's true.
Yes, it's a raffle.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Amazing, awesome, well, what other?
Does anyone have other updatesthat we need to talk about?
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Well, I just Goldie says yes,that's Danielle Neville's wife.
So there you go.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Amazing, well it looks like we already have two
$250 donations.
Oh good, Awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Look at that, that is amazing.
Yeah, we're up to $88.95 rightnow.
Guys, this thing is climbingfast.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah so remember Osa.
There's nothing we can'taccomplish, Nothing people get
out of Scientology.
We are all in this for thepassion of helping you start a
new life, Exactly.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Call us Daniel.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Call us.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Daniel.
Daniel's going to be in for asex check this evening.
You know it, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Why is your name coming up?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Daniel was the best man at my wedding and he was my
best friend from flag, so that'swhy I like calling him out nice
yeah, yeah, he needs to get outhere.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He needs to get out here yes, oh, there's a lot of
250 donations yeah, I, I know,when you said, when you, when
you said I'll give away 10, Iwas like, oh, you're signing 10
books today, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
If that's $2,500 to the foundation, yeah, great.
I mean it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I'll have to get copies of the book, but yeah,
you know, I'll just say itbecause people are already
prodding me I'll do the samething.
If you donate 250, claire and Iwill do a personalized
inscription in the front of thebook, and we'll do 10 people.
Now you have to say, though,which one you want, because now
(25:44):
that Mike's doing it and nowpeople are asking me why I won't
do it.
Because, you know, I dounderstand Some people already
bought Mike's book, and theymight already have a signed copy
, but they don't have my book.
Vice versa, so I get it.
Yes, denver, steve-o.
Um, I will do the same I woulddo the same too.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I would do the same if anyone wants my if anyone
wants my measly because it'spaperback, yeah there you go,
like you know.
Thank you by the way yeah, well, my book's coming out in
paperback soon.
I don't know when I justfinished writing a new afterward
for it, oh nice oh nice, that's.
(26:31):
So that'll be interesting.
We'll see what Scientology getsup to when it's announced
that's coming out.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
It went kind of bloody the last time.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You know they can't stop the tidal wave.
It's literally a tidal wave andthey're just not able to stop.
I love the new people comingout too, like Sterling and Biddy
.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I mean, how good is that to see Biddy coming out and
speaking and a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Anyway, there's going to be a lot more coming too.
I'll tell you a lot of peoplethat hadn't come out.
These are people that wereopenly against what Scientology
was doing.
But a lot of these people hadsigned documents and had made
agreements with Scientology andthose people, for decades or
whatever, didn't feel that theycould speak out.
(27:25):
And seeing everybody else whosigned almost all the exact same
documents on YouTube or writinga book or telling their story,
and so it's getting to a pointnow where pretty much everybody
who has some sort of agreementwith Scientology that
Scientology, in almost all cases, forced them to sign without
(27:45):
having legal representation,didn't give them copies of the
documents, blah, blah, blah.
It's now pretty much commonknowledge that these agreements
are useless and they cannot beum upheld in a court of law.
You cannot make someone sign adocument to give up their rights
um and also to report thingsthat were illegal to law
(28:06):
enforcement or the authorities.
Glad that these other people arecoming out and it's it's
amazing to see.
I mean, it was kind of crazywhen it got up to 20 channels.
I think we might be up to 50individual channels of people
that are.
You know, they might do a videoonce a week.
They might do a video once amonth and some of them are doing
five videos a day.
So, um, uh, it's a wide rangeof people telling their stories
(28:31):
and I really love that.
People are getting to the pointwhere they feel safe enough to
do it.
And then, at the other hand, ifyou think that there's not
going to be a little bit ofbacklash from Scientology, you
might be mistaken on that point.
I just want to put that outthere, because some people are
signing up and they're allexcited and then they're like
hey, these guys are privateinvestigators at my house.
(28:54):
And you're like, well, okay,yeah, they're trying to scare
you off at that first point.
But if you can put up with alittle bit of nonsense, you'll
be okay.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, and you have a lot of people that have your
back too, and also I signedthose stupid things on video.
You know that I have to pay $10million every time I speak out
or every time I come into thecity of Clearwater, or whatever
it said.
So I moved to Clearwater andI've been speaking out for 18
years.
You know it's just like.
(29:24):
You just have to say I'm notgoing to be bullied, period.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean I signed something and said that I'd
never go back into Clearwateragain and I was dropping off
some of that public at thesuperpower building this morning
driving Uber.
No, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Matt does it all the time Matt drives into the circle
of the sandcastle.
Yes, matt, tell that story.
They're like do you know whereto go, do you know where?
And you're like, yeah, I builtthe fountain, babe, come on, I
know where to go.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Exactly, I can just see it now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I can just see it now .
The security guards are likequick, pull the footage, see who
got dropped off by the yeahthey can pull it.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Did he say anything to you?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, and put them in for a confessional to find out
what was revealed?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It'll be one of those things.
This is very common inScientology.
I remember when we were Sea Orgmembers in Florida and you'd go
down to the one-stop shop oryou'd go here and you'd get some
stuff, and then there'd be awhole period where it's like no
one's allowed to shop at theone-stop shop or any of the
stores.
Everyone has to buy stuff fromthe Scientology canteens and you
(30:33):
know little stores, and soit'll be one of these things.
It'll be like oh, this is goingto send something over to a
flag and they'll say no one cantake Uber anymore down in
Clearwater because there's SPUber drivers.
No Uber, uber's canceled, onlyLyft now until Matt signs up for
a Lyft account.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I don't know what they're going to do Close the
whole town down.
I mean, I walk through downtown, I go into the one-stop shop, I
mean, so they got a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yes, Because they all know you right, matt yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
And I'll give them a free ride any place they want to
go.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
We're up to 1229, 12 297 guys we are.
I mean this, this fundraiser ismaybe one of the best we've
done so far, just in terms oftime, in terms of 30 minutes.
We've done 12k in 30 minutes,so that's pretty that's pretty
cool.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Train us how to do the fireworks thing.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Somebody just asked is it doing it?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
do you have to do it?
I honestly don't know why youhave to have 200,000.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I don't know why it doesn't work for everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh, that's so weird.
I'm going to complain to oh youknow what.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Maybe it's because I have the $100 a month StreamYard
account.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
But it's, oh no, but here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Is it a StreamY?
I promise you it's a streamer.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Okay, I was on a lot.
I did a video with Shalice andShalice Ansola of Colts to
Consciousness and I was on.
We weren't on StreamYardNeither of us were and whenever
I went like that it did a littlethumbs up in my video.
So I'm not sure.
Anyway, nobody knows.
(32:16):
Come on, nobody knows.
Aaron's got some sort ofAaron's got some Harry Potter
magic on his stream that nobodyelse has.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We're trying, we're just like the.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Time we hit another thousand.
Let's do a balloon.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We have to make Aaron's going balloons.
We have to make Aaron Aaron'sgoing to be Mr Party Tricks.
Whenever something happens, goAaron, make the screen, do
something.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Party tricks.
Oh my gosh, someone in the livechat actually, I'm going to ask
for it because someonepreviously in the live chat put
all of the different gesturesand what it makes happen, so
someone was able to go find outwhat's causing these things and
what gestures like.
There's a whole list of them.
It's almost like the you knowthe up up, down down, left,
right, left, right thing onNintendo.
(33:04):
You know the cheat codes.
The cheat codes, yes.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, somebody sent that to us as well, but it just
doesn't work for me.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Oh, I don't know what the deal is.
Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Maybe you have to have a certain number of
subscribers.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Maybe you have to shave your hair off.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Maybe that's what it is.
It could be that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Claire Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Claire.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
No thanks, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm out.
That's a no-go.
I'll ask the StreamYard godsand see what they have to say
about it Up, up, down downbutton button fire, fire twice
twice.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
What's crazy about this is I'm not even the host of
this stream, so that takes thatout of the equation.
That's not why it's working,but also.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
oh, but you are using StreamYard.
Yeah, I don't know.
We don't know why it does itguys.
We don't know why it does itguys.
We really don't, otherwise we'dbe able to do it.
I thought it was a funny thingthat Shalice was doing.
Whenever I would use my hands,these little questions, these
little thumbs up, would appearon the video and I'm like, why
did she do that for her but shedidn't do it for?
Or why'd she do that on me andnot for?
Speaker 3 (34:08):
her.
I was like, look at that yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I just saw it.
I don't know how he's doing it,that's kind of cool.
Yeah, give a thumbs up.
What those are for was if youlike the video, you've got to
give us a thumbs up, and alsosubscribing.
Thumbs down.
Oh, thumbs down, let's see.
I've got the feed playing overhere so I can see.
Oh, it did something.
Don't thumbs down the video.
(34:32):
God forbid that gives you poopemojis.
Yeah, anyway, if you haven'tsubscribed to any of our
channels, we do.
Would appreciate it if you didthat.
And um, always liking um thevideos always helps the
algorithm.
And um, we are trying to get um, everybody that's in this
(34:54):
little network loose networksptv.
We're trying to get everybodythat's in this little network,
loose network SPTV.
We're trying to get everybody'schannels kind of going.
And right after this video, inabout a half an hour, mitch
Brisker and I are going to doour second videos in a series
where we talk about how we madeall these internal films for
Scientology.
We're going to do the secondfilm in about 25 minutes from
(35:16):
now.
So this, all of these feeds, nomatter which channel you're
watching on, we'll feed intothat video.
And when that video starts,we'd love it If you give Mitch's
channel a, a like and asubscribe.
That'd be good for him too.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, and and just again.
Wow, look at the power of SPTVNation right here in terms of
supporting the AftermathFoundation.
We've been here 35 minutes andit's almost at 13,000.

How do I donate when you have astream like this that's linked
to a fundraiser?
The super chat function iserased and in place of the super
chat function is a donatebutton.
So if you look over in thecomments section, there should
(36:10):
just be a button that saysdonate.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So yeah, should just be a button that says donate, um
, so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, let's, speaking of that,let's show some of the uh

Thanks for that, jazzy, sorry,you're still getting smoked out
up there.
Central Victoria, australia,from Kat Baloo.
And we've got somebody highfrom Exota, appalachia, exotic,
(36:54):
yeah, connecticut, love, sptv.
Exotic, yeah, connecticut, love, sptv.
Thank you, patty.
And then we've got Denmarkchecking in Relaxed Llama Drama.
I like that name Relaxed LlamaDrama.
Hi guys Checking in fromDenmark.
And then we've got question whydoesn't someone put up a board
(37:15):
on with join the aftermathfoundation when you leave and
wander back and forth outsidetheir HQ?
Oh, like a, like a billboard.
Yeah, we spent, we spent mostof our money on helping people
and the little promotion that wedo we mainly just do on YouTube
and that seems to be workingout very well.
(37:37):
So we're not really, and alsowe're not as much as we'd like
to target individualScientologists or Scientologists
at an organization if an SP.
I don't know how it is in LosAngeles, I know how it is in
Florida and at the base, if anSP is identified and they're
outside the building, they justtell all the staff to close the
blinds.
(37:57):
So as soon as, as soon as an SPeven if an SP is just showing up
, like not even with a sign,just there's an SP going to walk
up and down the highway at thebase.
Everyone has to stay insidetheir buildings with the blinds
closed until the SP leaves, sothat they don't accidentally
hear something that the SP says.
(38:19):
Like there have been SPs thatgo to the base and yell stuff
inside and they just keepeverybody inside until he's done
yelling.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
With the music, me and Tom DeVock.
Me and Tom DeVock go downtownand they change the bus routes
and the dinner time in order tohave the staff avoid me and Tom
DeVock being sitting downtown inClearwater.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yep, yeah, so that's one of the because we know that
is one of the reasons that abillboard or one of these trucks
with a video wall on it drivingaround Clearwater it would
certainly maybe make the newsand be like a sensational thing,
but as far as Scientologistsseeing it, they likely very few
would.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Guys, some people are commenting certain geographies,
for whatever reason, can'tdonate on YouTube.
But, guys, if you're like inAustralia, sometimes they say
that Sometimes people in Canadasay that If you go to the
website, website, the aftermathfoundationorg, you should be
able to donate directly on thewebsite.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, and if and if and if you want, if you do
donate and you do want a book,or just say which person's book
you want in the little note whenyou do the donation and we can
make sure, um, that that gets toMike or me or Amy or whoever
you want the book from.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Um, another thing that should be mentioned,
because this is you know, thenonprofit sector is notorious
for spending most of their moneypaying their own staff, and I
was looking at Ashton Kutcher'snonprofit just to be the dead
horse.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
His previous nonprofit.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Guys in like 2021,.
They brought in like 1818 or$19 million, and $14 million of
that went to employeecompensation.
Wow, so the board of theAftermath Foundation receives
zero money, zero compensation ofany kind whatsoever, that is
amazing.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
We can pretty much guarantee that any money that
you send to the AftermathFoundation is going to be spent
on the people who need it to getout of Scientology and get back
on their feet.
We don't have any otherexpenses.
We're not doing advertisingcampaigns.
(40:31):
We're not spending it on PRfirms to represent us or
anything of the sort.
It all just is there, availableto be distributed to those in
need is there available to bedistributed to those in need.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
And, ironically, I bet you we individually spend
more time working on thenonprofit than most of those
people that are getting thatmoney, those large sums.
I bet you we work on it more ina week than they work on it in
a week.
Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
And we should mention , too, that the Aftermath
Foundation was just approved asa charity for the combined
federal campaign, which meansthat all federal employees can
opt to support the AftermathFoundation.
We have our CFC number added onthe Aftermath Foundation
website as well, and thatprocess and scrutiny is
(41:26):
something to behold, but we wereapproved, which is amazing, and
so yeah, yeah.
And what?
Speaker 5 (41:32):
does that mean Claire ?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
It means that all federal employees nationally can
opt to support the AftermathFoundation with pre-tax dollars
and so they have likecompetitions between offices,
for example of who can like 100percent employee involvement,
for example in supportingcharities of their choice, and
(41:55):
if they don't select a charitythen it just gets spread between
the all the charities that areapproved, but if they do select
a charity then it goesspecifically to that charity of
their choosing.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
And isn't there a dollar matching thing?
Yeah, don't they have a dollarmatching thing as?
Speaker 2 (42:13):
well, I'd have to look at how exactly that works,
so I can't.
I'll research that and figurethat out, but definitely it's.
It's a program that is highlypromoted within, you know, for
federal employees.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
That's amazing, Claire.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
It is, and from the few people that we've dealt with
that are knowledgeable innonprofits, they say if you have
that, that is sort of a bigdeal in the not-for-profit
community, that if you'reapproved by those, yes, it's
like having an A rating from theBBB yes.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
And ironically, this was recommended to us as a
program from a federal employeeconnected to somebody we helped
escape.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Well, that's how those things?
Speaker 1 (42:55):
work.
Yeah, when that story gets told, it will be the most ironic of
people to know about theaftermath.
Speaker 6 (43:06):
Someone in the live chat says the CFC drive is
coming up soon.
Opt for the AftermathFoundation.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Nice.
So yeah, if you're a federal,if you're a US federal employee
and you have an option to donatesome of your income, or however
it works on your system, if youchoose the aftermath, that
would be amazing.
We would appreciate that?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yes, oh, that's terrific.
Yes, so should we close outwith questions and any last
updates?
And then, because we just havea firm 3 pm mountain time cutoff
here, right, so we have 16minutes left.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Sure, let's rip through these last questions.
I've got up here.
The Wanderer says Sure, let'srip through these last questions
.
I've got up here.
The Wanderer says so I assume a$750 donation would get all
three books and a $1,000 wouldbe in advance for Claire's book
too.
Correct, sure, if you want todo that.
(44:08):
But then that means I don'tknow, because we've got the
whole Aaron press card thing.
Speaker 6 (44:10):
So you'd have to say if you donate $1,000, do you
want the press card or thinkmaybe even the press card is
going to have to be a higher?
The highest donation gets thepress card.
Yeah so someone's alreadydonated a thousand and 10 or
something you know.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So yeah, a thousand would be.
If you say books, then yeah, weuh, claire, now you're, now
you've already you're sellingbooks, so you do have to finish
this book.
There was somebody put up acomment.
Somebody's doingdouble-clicking comments in the
background.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Sorry, that was my bad.
I was just trying to start andthe chat was flying by so fast.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
You know, I get asteristically challenged.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Here we go.
It took 44 minutes, but she'sdouble-tapping.
There you go, guys.
Bob Sweet question Do you thinkyou could all get together to
do a road show?
I think you'd sell out venues.
You know, I thought about this,guys.
The only thing that's not sogreat about a road show is then
we have to travel, we have tospend money on travel and,
(45:05):
depending on how many people youcan get to show up at any
different place, there's just alot of logistics and expenses
involved.
And right now we can do allthis from here individually,
being in all different places,and it's not, you know, it's not
un.
It takes up the time, but wedon't have to go anywhere.
So I think it's more convenientfor all of us to do it this way
(45:27):
.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
Listen, just as a comment about that.
We could do one in Clearwater.
Yes.
Yeah, I was going to suggestthat you two could come to
Clearwater because Aaron and meand Christy and Amy and Matt are
all here.
Yeah, so we could do one inClearwater.
We could do the Capitol Theater.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
I'm pretty sure that we could do one in Clearwater.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
We could do the Capitol Theater, and I'm pretty
sure that we could do one eitherat the Capitol Theater, because
those guys love us.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, we also have a very good connection.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, because those guys love us.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
We just made an amazing connection for that, or
at the Calvary Baptist Church,because those guys love us.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, and we have done so in the past, guys, and
the problem we had on that onewas we didn't have the venues
sort of locked up on our sideand we we did what was that
thing called?
What did we call it SP con orwe called it something.
We went and did a tour of allthe buildings and a bunch of us
went um.
The press came, uh, mark Bunkerwas there and we did a tour of
(46:27):
Brown, clearwater and all theplaces that we were going to
have like a meetup afterwardsrestaurants or bars or whatever
Scientology went and talked tothem and said if you host these
guys, we're never, ever comingto your restaurant for the rest
of time.
Right?
Is that essentially whathappened, aaron?
Speaker 6 (46:42):
Yeah, yeah, they scared everyone off to host our
huge group.
So we had to drive like 20minutes out of town to go get
some tacos somewhere.
We yeah, they scared everyoneoff to host our huge group
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
So we had to drive like 20 minutes out of town to
go get some tacos somewhere.
We couldn't even do it inClearwater.
So yes, if we did it, we woulddefinitely use one of these
locales that is not going to bebullied by Scientology.
Speaker 5 (47:03):
Right, but it's something to think about.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
It is.
Speaker 5 (47:09):
I mean we could live stream and have a live audience,
Right.
But it's something to thinkabout.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Yeah, I mean we could .
We could live stream and have alive audience.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
Yes, that would be amazing.
We're in, we're in it would bepretty fun.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
It would be very fun.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
We have to think about that, okay, good, good
question.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Great, great input you something might happen, okay
.
Speaker 1 (47:26):

(52:02):
Who is starring these comments?
Obg Foster Question how manypeople are left in DM's orbit

How many people are left inDM's orbit that actually knew
LRH?
Speaker 3 (52:18):
Can I just say real quick we made 15,000 so far.
So we need Aaron to do histhumbs up.
Speaker 1 (52:24):

Obg Foster, how many people areleft in DM's orbit who actually
knew LRH?
Well, still, diana is stillthere.
Oh no, she's not with himanymore, though, because she's
at the base Right.
I don't think there's anyone.
You're right, larisse wasn'taround, no, and none of the
people that worked most of thepeople that worked directly with
(53:10):
Dave are pretty young, likethey came in in the 90s or the
2000s, so they weren't evenalive when LRH was alive.
Speaker 5 (53:19):
Generally, he has wheedled away at those who were
or knew Hubbard because of thatvery fact.
Yeah, they represented apotential threat to him because
because they knew hubbard, theymay be able to rally some
(53:41):
support for themselves.
You know the norman stockies orthe greghers, or you know even
Jaeger and Mark Ingber and meand Lizzie, but we all were on
the Apollo and all worked withHubbard.
Yeah, there were others from LaQuinta who did too, and they
(54:03):
are all gone.
Wow, yeah, that makes sense.
I think this one does something.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
Oh my God, I think you have to do it clear of yours
.
I think it needs to be isolated.
