You look exhausted, but we can’t thank you enough for your coverage. The videos add so much nuance ( to use the term in court). Your insights about where Cohen is leading are terrific. I think he’s going down the wrong path with challenging the police reports. It always seems to backfire on him. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the jury... do they seem engaged? What’s is the make up of the jury? Anyone you think who might be foreperson? How are they responding to witnesses? Do they watch Danny much? Anything you can provide on that topic would be much appreciated. Perhaps a video over the weekend. And are we gonna hear from Mr. Augustine this week? As I said, I’m on absolute tenterhooks about this trial. While they say it’s not about Scientology, I think it’s clear from the testimony that the church is a hostile witness to all this violence. Thanks!
No worry about blackout curtains. It takes about 20 minutes to 'dark adapt' and then she should be able to make out things like a gun, location of closets, etc. By the way, the rapes seemed to go on and on suggesting who knows what about the functionality of the rapist. ? His use of function enhancing med or something else.
I think it interesting that even Cohen is calling them rape. Two of the JDs corrected him and I think it got him to acknowledge these were at least in their minds- rape. I think gif the victims it seemed to go on and on, but it may not have been as long as we think, but you raise a very valid point. Was he using viagra? He seems willing to use drugs in these women despite his scientology background which forbids it.
I so appreciate these video summaries. I’ve read all the reports, but having you fill in the blanks on some of the things that aren’t so obvious to us “non-experts” really helps explain what’s going on. You are awesome! Keep up the great work, and thanks again for all you do. Enjoy your weekend.
Question for the Proprietor: Has (Should?) ((Can?)) the prosecutor show anything from LRH himself with so much he wrote, which would explain in his own words the ins and outs of fair game and SP? I remember in Going Clear there were actual visuals of typed pages from some sort of book that were like a bibliography throughout. It really made it clear that this existed. If Lawrence Wright showed it, then why does nobody else? I have never seen an interview (even going back to Tommy Davis' (in)famous TV interview) or any part of Paul Haggis so far and here with DM, where those talking about this have been able to shut up the ones saying that fair gaming doesn't exist and disconnection doesn't exist. It's in their own -- what do you call it? -- "bible," if you will. Also, I'm annoyed by proxy that there is another youtube gal giving DM updates and reading all the transcription from Underground Bunker's days in the courtroom practically verbatim and not crediting the source. Not my business but geeeez.
I wondered about LRH 2nd dynamic policy on marital relations and forced sex not being rape. Remember he wrote in the 50s, 60s, and70,s when it was assumed a husband couldn’t rape his wife. For Jane doe 3, that outdated policy would be the position the church would take.
Yes, you actually make an even more important point. And all this has to be in writing by him. I mean, there is even instruction by him on how to clean windows (using newspaper) so absolutely everything. It's a mystery to me how this isn't plastered everywhere with the exact date written, like all the other examples in Going Clear. Of course anything can be (and is often) denied, but makes me wonder ...
I re-watched your wrap up, Tony, and I wanted to add 2 things:
1) Having been in courtrooms with Scientology back when I was "in" (Wallershiem & David Mayo + a few others)...I am pretty sure I remember one of their tactics is to bore the jury to near death
Exp: In Wallershiem 's case, the Judge would literally fall asleep! Why? Per their "tech", once you go by a misunderstood word, you will go blank for a time. Suggestion: Keep an eye out for this, or ask Jeff to.
2) Just a side note about the Ribisis':
(I know you know this, Tony)
Gay Ribisi is Vaunni (Giovanni Ribisi) 's
Mother. A few years ago some critics found her IAS certificates in the trash. I had never (in 30 years "in') heard of *any" Scientologist throwing any certificate in the trash. If I remember correctly, it used to be a "high Crime" to destroy or harm any Scientology
Information....which certificate's would be part of.
We who knew Gay thought that was it! She would finally leave. Turned out not to be the case....yet. Love to all here & have a glorious wk-end! 🌹🙂👍💜
I just love these videos. You have to continue to do these after the trial. Have a great weekend.
Enjoy your dinner after this long day! Thank you for all your coverage of this trial!
Thank you, Tony! I look forward to your emails and video every day. Great job. Enjoy your weekend!

Mr. Augustine comments on Tony's web page blog and has his own site with articles @The Scientology Money Project. Happy watching 😀

exceptional insight - as always. Thank You Underground Bunker.
Late night poster: Tony I hope you have an excellent week-end. Thank you for *alllll* you have done! This was a wild day. Once again, you nailed it. 🌹

Let the UTuber know if she discloses source she will get more subscribers. TIA 😊
