It's a very good sign that they had to use the more traditional means to hack your flight data, Alex.
Years ago, when I escaped from the Int Base, they had someone in OSA that had covert access to all flights. No need to call agents etc. I knew about that and used Greyhound instead to escape in 2004. They never did find me with the blow drill.
But then they convinced me via email to fly back into LA in 2004 to "route out". I got cold feet when I got to LA and decided to fly to my parent's home instead. I went to an Internet Cafe and booked a flight out of LAX for that afternoon. When I got to the airport, my card wouldn't work in the kiosk to log in.
Suddenly I was surrounded by Scientologists. The Gold Dir I&R, Gerald Duncan, from the Int Base and two of the RTC goons were there to convince me I had out-Int (Interiorization q.v.) and needed an immediate session!
Somehow in the hour or two between booking a flight and boarding they not only worked out what flight I was on, but also what terminal, and managed to block my brand-new prepaid credit card!
They seemingly no longer have an OSA goon working for an airline that has covert access to all flight data. Very good news for all of us. Who knows how many others have been caught this way?
Looks like they simply figured out who his travel agent was and pretended to be him. Really skeevy, OSA. Not like your old game. Where are the guys who literally had moles in the FBI? Lo, how the mighty hath fallen.
Maybe it's time to give up the car keys, guys. Just saying.
"and I am yet to meet an ex-Scientologist who was not abused in some way, shape, or form." That is a devastating hit on $cientology and all that it represents.
Alex is a hoot and every person who is dissuaded from joining the clam scam and every person who knows that $cientology is cult is a VGI (very good indicator) that the public many be inoculated from Hubbard's mindfu*k.
When Alex was streaming live at the test center, it made my stomach hurt. That’s where I lived in squalid conditions in 1975. The glitz out front hides so much. When they were walking down the alley, it gave me the heebie jeebies. Fifty years after the fact. I’m so glad it is now an internet sensation that people make fun of. A step in the right direction.
Thanks for coming to see us Alex! Still waiting for you to show up on my doorstep 😜
OSA seems to have lost some teeth as well. Next time Alex comes, even the travel agent won’t be fooled - and the flights will be locked beforehand. Such childish moves by Miscavige and his minions. About as effective as the troll who insists on occasionally buzzing around our heads on the bunker.
As for the bunker troll, I’ve made up my mind to simply put a link to the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation in any comment thread it interrupts. I hope I can hold true to that commitment.
Alex is a multi-talented and dynamic human being. I got to hang with him for an afternoon during his trip to LA and get some deep questions answered. He is articulate and brings a sense of logic and compassion to his approach to exposing the destructive activities of Scientology. He is also a musician and we shared music we are developing. I’ve helped him with other music tracks in the past. His honesty and intentions are clear. I feel grateful he is effectively moving the public needle on awareness that Scientology is a toxic cult. I fully support him. He deserves our support as he’s on the front lines. I appreciate that immensely.
I remember the funny predicament of being told to "go inside" when you are outside or for the RPF back when I was in it in LA at the "complex" "big blue" someone in the RPF had to liaise with "Security" for whether it was okay to even go outside.
Funnily, back when I was on the RPF, the OSA staffers who were busted and on the RPF were very often in the "tech unit" of the RPF, as OSA staffers generally were "sharper" than average and could manage to do the Hubbard quackery adequately that they managed to hold the slightly cushier jobs in the "quackery/tech unit" and that unit did light jobs, like gardening around the complex.
So funnily, for the years I was in the PAC RPF, the OSA RPFers were their own kind of clique within the RPF, LOL.
They engaged in what Hubbard demeaningly called "mutual out ruds" meaning a clique-ish group violation of Hubbard's rules, LOL. (I reported one of their violations, even I was even more brainwashed than the smarties in OSA and one of their "group violations" ended.
The RPFers seem to still be a part of Sea Org life, or "Decks" demotion group of demoted Sea Orgers seem to be now and then caught on camera.
The whole history of "PAC Security" is just soul foul and strange.
L. Ron Hubbard's debris trail on earth ARE all of these Scientology organized instillations who operate on the tomes of Hubbard's regulations and "policies" that force this Hubbard indoctrination on each new gen of newbie Scientologists.
Scientology's abuses slither on, and taking on the full Hubbard regulations conundrum bad effects on the Hubbard official Scientology followers, is a long range continuing thing.
Thanks for being so smart, you absolutely were overqualified to be a part of official Scientology.
All the great critics were so overqualified to even be lured into playing their parts in the Hubbard quackery official Scientology operations.
Quit Fast and look up the Aftermath Foundation for help on your way out of Sea Org life if you need it.
Alex, I love your descriptive writing. I'm a never-been-in, but after reading all the abuses, I don't feel Scientology can change its reputation, it needs to be dismantled and the abusers taken away in cuffs.
Thanks for the recap of your adventures in LA, Alex. I was able to watch only a few of your live streams, which were really great. So glad to read that you got to see so many amazing people during your trip.
A change of attorneys stalls a lawsuit while the new attorney gets up to speed. However, the judge will not allow much delay for Minkhoff. And it won’t change past decisions. He’d be better off fading into obscurity at this point. He must have quite a racket going to be willing to fight it at his age.

Wouldn't they still have to know his scheduled flight # back? Unless they got it from the travel agent... hmm.

Great to meet you in person Alex. That was fun!

Thank you, Geoff. I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure spending an afternoon with you!
Thanks so much for all you do Alex.

Minkoff should all ready be in jail, imo.

Sul sul Alex!
