---

What starts out as an episode about the general background of Scientology's "Fair Game" retaliation operations soon settles down into the specific ways that Mike Rinder was targeted after he left the Sea Org in 2007, and it's a harrowing adventure.

We have the podcast embedded for you below, and we think you're going to find it gripping. In the first third of the program, Rinder skillfully describes how Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard turned his "Guardian's Office" into a massive spying operation on the US and UK governments (and many more) in the 1970s "Snow White Program."

Mike explains how under Snow White, the GO sent operatives to infiltrate government offices to steal information about Scientology, including bugging the conference room at the main IRS headquarters in Washington DC. This years-long effort was ultimately tripped up when one of the chief operatives, Michael Meisner, was stopped by an FBI agent at a law library in DC, and the agent discovered that he was carrying a fake ID employee badge.
