AUDIO: Tommy Davis, as Scientology spokesman, secretly recorded discussing 'disconnection' - 2021-01-24

We noticed recently that one of the most important stories we published at the Village Voice is missing a series of audio recordings that go with it. They come from a secretly-recorded tape that captures then-Scientology spokesman Tommy Davis intimidating a church member with the threat of 'disconnection,' Scientology's toxic control mechanism that Davis had publicly pretended didn't exist in a famous CNN segment.
We also realized that we still had the original recordings from that story, and so we decided we would republish that 2011 story here at the Underground Bunker, with the recordings restored. We hope you'll see why we consider this such important evidence about how Scientology actually operates. As for Davis, we are constantly asked about him. Please see this story about what he's been up to since he left his job as Scientology's mouthpiece. And even more about his work as spokesman now for billionaire Tom Barrack.
