Websites about Scientology

• Operation Clambake One of the oldest and most complete counter-Scientology websites. Operated by Andreas Heldal-Lund, this is an excellent site to quickly catch up on the major controversies surrounding the Church of Scientology. Good place to start: any article marked by a ‘Press’ icon. In the recent Village Voice article series titled ‘The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology,’ Heldal-Lund was listed in 15th place.
• The Underground Bunker An amazing, almost up-to-the-minute blog about Scientology. Operated by Tony Ortega, executive editor of The Raw Story and former editor of The Village Voice. He’s written about Scientology since 1995, and has a forthcoming book about the subject.
• Why Are They Dead, Scientology? Mirror of a site that has moved domain names frequently in recent year. The website documents Scientology-related deaths.
• Why We Protest Operated by Anonymous [see Religion News Blog]. Includes active discussion forums about Scientology
