#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

And so the very people who are publishing about Shelley Miscavige missing have contributed to the fact that Shelley Miscavige does no longer speak to those family members.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

because she thinks they're talking to the press when they never have.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

It's pretty messed up.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

I believe the information that I have, that I verified, I'm putting out, I'm the one representing it's true without revealing my sources.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

That Shelley was still actively in touch regularly with family members outside of the C organization since about, until about 2014.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So I mean regularly, okay?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

So there's no question about her safety during that period.

#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

And then someone else who knew Shelly very well did see her and actually have a conversation with her in a public place in 2019 or 2020.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Now somebody could still come along and be like, how do we know she's okay?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

It's been three years.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Yeah, okay, you could say that about anybody.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

The nature of working in the highest levels of Scientology management at these super secretive bases, it's a very weird and unique situation.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

It has isolation baked in.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

information oh they wouldn't want to leak they're true believers they see they see like there's a there's sort of a conspiracy theory that runs right through all of scientology

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

which is that Scientology represents like an existential threat to the powers that really control this planet.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Xenu embodied in- It's actually sort of a multifaceted conspiracy in that on the one hand, L. Ron Hubbard points his fingers at like the international bankers.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Okay.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#361 โ€“ Aaron Smith-Levin: Scientology

Which has shades of anti-Semitism to it.
