TRANSCRIPT:
Then they bring in Lev [Len] Zinberg, who’s a guy who was in the Guardian’s Office [disbanded external affairs office], right. Who was expelled in the early ‘80s, like all the other Guardian’s Office people that were involved in this stuff that they were involved in. And that Mike Rinder was intimately familiar with, and in fact was on missions that literally investigated to determine who was and was not involved, and who was not even aware of the type of stuff Zinberg’s talking about—because if they were, they were out.
Rinder rehashes Paulette Cooper again. I’ve been through this in Season 1 [of Aftermath ]. It’s a sham. He goes through the accusations of somebody who settled with the Church 35 years ago, unsettles it, and now says—acts as if this is the present operating basis of Scientology.
So, Lev goes through and does the Leah Remini script of going through the bawling and crying because he is confessing for the first time even though they have heard him 50 times say the stuff he is saying. And Mike says, like the priest, “There is no question you are worthy of forgiveness, Lev. No question. I admire your sitting here and telling your story,” right.
Two things. Number one, as we know, we call Mike “They” Rinder. It’s always “they,” right. And still it’s “they.” He’s still—we’re all the way—now we’re two hours into Season 2 and we still haven’t heard Mike Rinder cop to a single blessed thing. But he is an ASC [Anti-Scientology Cult] priest and he can bestow forgiveness, right.
I don’t know Lev Zinberg from anything, right, but a year ago Tony Ortega—the third leg of the “troika,” the silent partner of Remini and Rinder—ran this four-month campaign trashing my wife, right, and I pushed back and did a post about the hypocrisy and some of the lies about Tony Ortega.
Out of the blue, I get an email message from Lev Zinberg—I don’t know him—attacking the living hell out of me like a Nazi thought police, because I had an errant thought and I said something against one of the priests, the high priests of the ASC. And he started condemning me about my past. Like I wasn’t—I am not—I confessed to all these things that I did, right, that I thought were, you know, not cool or untoward. But I could not attain the forgiveness of Lev Zinberg, because I said something that showed that I wasn’t a 100%, Kool-Aid drinking, cheering-for-the-priest-and-idols-of-the-ASC, ASC member. But Mike Rinder is going to [makes sign of cross] bestow that on Lev.
