Newsweek - Pam Bondi's Ties to Scientology Explained

Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General Pam Bondi has held ties to the Church of Scientology at various points throughout her career.

Bondi made history in 2010 when she was elected as Florida's first female attorney general, a job she held until 2019.

During her tenure she accepted campaign contributions from Scientologists and attended multiple fundraisers organized by prominent members of the church.

A fundraiser for Bondi's reelection campaign in 2014 in Clearwater, Florida, was organized by six prominent Scientologists, the Tampa Bay Times reported at the time. Christina Johnson, Bondi's campaign spokeswoman, told the newspaper that Bondi was aware that Scientologists were staging the event.



Johnson said that Bondi first connected with Scientologists in 2010 when she and other elected officials toured some of the church's facilities in Clearwater. She added that Bondi had spoken to a group of Scientologists about human trafficking and antidrug initiatives.

Ahead of the fundraiser in 2014, Johnson said: "It's like-minded folks sharing the same goals: Protecting children against drug overdoses and human trafficking."

Bondi's office also cited the importance of speaking about the same issues before she addressed a group with ties to Scientology in 2016.

1. Cults supporting each other.

[barbtries]

2. oh that is rich.

Scientology is a human trafficking, child abusing, family destroying, destructive cult.
I've been studying it intently for over a year. It should not exist.

If you want to learn more about scientology and don't want to read dozens of books and/or spend countless hours watching youtube videos, the Aftermath Series, and every movie ever made about it, the one book I would urge anyone to read is L Ron Hubbard: Messiah or Madman by Bent Corydon. It is literally so jaw dropping that for the first time in my life, when I finished the last page, I went back to the first page and read it again in its entirety.

David Miscavage will certainly be happy to be able to play around in the post democracy leadership about to take power.

10. Does Corydon mention Jack Parsons?

A little history of the two would be partners.

Here’s an article about the CBS series Strange Angels about Jack Parsons the father of Jet Propulsion Lab. I watched the series and it was interesting. I certainly knew about Aleister Crowley but had no idea about Jack Parsons and his involvement with Crowley or JPL.

L Ron Hubbard stole Parsons money and that was that. There’s more to the story of course.

22. Fascinating read - thanks!

First I’d ever heard of this guy. Quite the colorful character, to say the least.

3. Religious nut jobs who will turn this country into a place we don't recognize.

[ScratchCat]

4. She was also AG

When the State "threw" the George Zimmerman prosecution. Its was clear she didn't want it prosecuted.

She's knee deep in sex scandal cover-ups for State GOP congresscritters as well.

Odd that many of these picks seem to have something in common...

[chouchou]

8. Amen. She's one of the worse human cockroachs I've ever seen. Years ago, I remember..

...3 corporations in Florida had polluted many waterways.... were going to receive fines and possible jail terms....
..BUT...all charges seemed to fly away..thanks to Crooked, Phony Pam.

[XanaDUer2]

5. Oh, Christ

[dalton99a]

6. Kick

[Vinca]

7. Oh good, just what we need thrown into the mix. A Scientologist.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. It sounds like the one program she might be willing to take on is exposing human trafficking.

In that case, she should get close to the Republican party because they seem to fit the description of willing Johns. They'll make the perfect bait to find the organizations that pimp women for sex.

11. Isn't that the XENU Cult?

[sakabatou]

15. Yup

[wolfie001]

18. F6cking clowns

P.S.- thanks for NOT giving me a rec. I gave you one anyways.

[sakabatou]

20. Okay, rec for the cosplay

[wolfie001]

21. Tanks

I called out someone else that had over 200,000 posts I'm a bit petty but I always vote Dem!!!

[GoldenMezzoDiva]

12. The Monster's picks have something in common:

Dead Eyes...

[Hekate]

13. Occasionally the Scientologists get an in-depth write-up in the Los Angeles Times. It's never good.

Never. And it’s usually hair-raising. They gravitate to money and power, and are popular in the Hollywood set.

A “religion” founded by a science fiction author — and if the old rumor is true, founded on a bet with a pal at a bar that he, L. Ron, could make a fortune doing it.

Just what we need in the federal government.

14. Oh joy oh joy, add Drumpf converting to make him even worse. Oh wait, he doesn't donate so he's out.

[H2O Man]

16. Recommended.

I was telling my sons yesterday that she is closely tied to scientology ..... in my opinion, a "secret" member. And that she is more dangerous that Gaetz.
