Bunker reader Dee Findlay stole the show as Clearwater stood up to Scientology last night « The Underground Bunker By now you’ve probably heard that the city of Clearwater is the proud owner of a 1. Church of Scientology, which wanted the plot for its own uses. The parcel sits between City Hall and two of Scientology’s Clearwater landmarks, the Fort Harrison and Oak Cove hotels, where wealthy Scientologists come from around the world to pay for expensive auditing levels they can get nowhere else. Miscavige said he wanted the plot for a swimming pool for guests at the Oak Cove, which was farcical. The real reason, former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder told us, was to keep non- Scientologists away from the Fort Harrison, the church’s holiest spot on Earth. But at last night’s city council meeting, no Scientologists or church executives came forward to speak during the time for public comment before the council’s vote.

And one person who did come forward to speak really stole the show. It was our own Dee Findlay, longtime Underground Bunker reader and Clearwater resident, whom we wrote about in 2. We knew her story, but still, what she said at the meeting knocked us over.

After a faltering start about what she intended to talk about, she found her footing…What I’d like to say — which I haven’t, and before I die, and I’m 8. I’ll be 8. 1 soon. And I hadn’t had the nerve to say it before: I’m sorry. And I apologize to the citizens of Clearwater for being a volunteer covert operator for the organization in the early 8. I thought I was helping. I was a good member of the church. And I thought they needed my help with their enemies.

But that’s not true. I found that out later. Of all the speakers, her message was the most personal. We talked to her after the meeting, and after the council had voted 5- 0 to purchase the parcel and keep it out of Scientology’s hands.“When they voted I yelled a great wahoo, really loud.

I couldn’t help it,” she says. Dee started in Scientology in 1. Scientology’s spy wing. In one operation, she managed to get a volunteer receptionist job working for city commissioner Richard Tenney at his hot- tub store. He was running for re- election at the time, and Dee’s job was to see who was donating to his campaign.“When checks came in, I would write down who wrote them, and I was also turning over addresses and amounts to the church,” she says. Tenney lost re- election. We asked her what the church’s attitude was to the city and its leaders.“They believed that it was their town, and they had to get rid of all their enemies,” she says.

It took a long time for me to realize that no, they don’t own Clearwater.”She left Scientology for several years before she was briefly sucked back in about six years ago. Since then, she’s wanted to say something to the people of her town.“I finally did it. I wanted to go and apologize to the citizens of Clearwater.”She shared with us a fun vignette from the night’s long meeting. Although no Scientologists came up to the podium to speak, there was at least one member of the church in the audience.“I was actually sitting next to a Scientologist,” Dee says. She describes their conversation: “I was a Scientologist in the 7. Dee told her. “So was I! In Seattle.”“Are you getting up to speak?”“I don’t think so, are you?”“Yeah, I’m going to.”“For or against?”“For the city.”“Oh, OK.”“Are you OSA?” Dee says she asked, referring to the spy division she used to volunteer for.“No.”“Well I was for a little while,” Dee told her.

After Dee went to deliver her remarks, when she returned to her seat the woman was gone. We told her that her words produced a huge reaction here at the website last night. I had to do it. I needed to do it,” she says. ——————–Countdown to Denver!  Howdy. Con 2. 01. 7: Denver, June 2.

F. Rothschild, employed under Mark Hanna, who quickly entices him with the sex- and drugs- fueled stockbroker culture and teaches him that a stockbroker's only job is to make money for himself. Jordan soon finds his career terminated following Black Monday and takes a job at a boiler room brokerage firm on Long Island that specializes in penny stocks. Thanks to his aggressive pitching style and the high commissions, Jordan makes a small fortune. Jordan befriends his neighbour, Donnie Azoff, and the two found their own company.

They recruit several of Jordan's friends, whom Jordan trains in the art of the "hard sell". The basic method of the firm is a pump and dump scam. To cloak this, Jordan gives the firm the respectable- sounding name of Stratton Oakmont. After an exposé in Forbes, hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company.

Jordan becomes immensely successful and slides into a decadent lifestyle full of prostitutes and drugs. He has an affair with a woman named Naomi Lapaglia. When his wife finds out, they divorce, and he marries Naomi. Meanwhile, the SEC and the FBI begin investigating Stratton Oakmont. Jordan illegally makes $2.

To hide his money, Jordan opens a Swiss bank account with corrupt banker Jean- Jacques Saurel in the name of Naomi's Aunt Emma, who is a British national and thus outside the reach of American authorities. He uses the wife and in- laws of his friend Brad Bodnick, who have European passports, to smuggle the cash into Switzerland. Donnie gets into a public brawl with Brad, and, while Donnie escapes, Brad is arrested. Jordan also learns from his private investigator that the FBI is wiretapping his phones. Fearing for his son, Jordan's father advises him to leave Stratton Oakmont and lie low while Jordan's lawyer negotiates a deal to keep him out of prison.

Jordan, however, cannot bear to quit and talks himself into staying in the middle of his farewell speech. Jordan, Donnie, and their wives are on a yacht trip to Italy when they learn that Aunt Emma has died of a heart attack. Jordan decides to travel to Switzerland immediately to settle the bank account.

In order to bypass border controls, he forces his yacht captain to sail to Monaco, but the ship is capsized in a storm. After their rescue, the plane sent to take them to Geneva is destroyed when a seagull flies into the engine. Jordan takes this as a sign from God and decides to sober up. Two years later, the FBI arrests Jordan because Saurel, arrested in Florida on an unrelated charge, has also informed on Jordan. Since the evidence against him is overwhelming, Jordan agrees to gather evidence on his colleagues in exchange for leniency. Fed up with Jordan's lifestyle, Naomi tells Jordan she is divorcing him and wants full custody of their children.

Jordan loses his mind and tries to run off with Skylar in his car, but he ends up crashing in the driveway. The next morning, Jordan wears a wire to work but slips a note to Donnie warning him. The FBI discovers the note, and Jordan is arrested for breaching his co- operation deal. The FBI raids and shuts down Stratton Oakmont.

Despite this one breach, Jordan receives a reduced sentence for his testimony and serves three years in a minimum security prison. After his release, Jordan makes a living hosting seminars on sales technique. Production[edit]. Leonardo Di. Caprio attending the film's London premiere in January 2.
