To our readers from the north, Happy Boxing Day! We're continuing to look back at 2017's most significant stories here at the Underground Bunker and today it's a flashback to June in our annual Scientology year-in-review.

We started off the month with an assist from Mark Bunker, who helped us remember one of Scientology's goons, a man named Dennis Clarke, who had passed away in May. At one time, Clarke was used by the church to intimidate protesters, but when Clarke's own health declined, he got no support at all from the church he had bullied for.
