Paulette Cooper's relentless pursuit of the truth cost her dearly, but it also set a high bar for investigative journalism. We uncover the extraordinary lengths to which the Church of Scientology went to silence her, from fabricated bomb threats to smear campaigns and even attempts to frame her for crimes she didn't commit. Cooper's journey from a Holocaust survivor to a fearless journalist, who risked everything to expose alleged abuses within the Church, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Join us as we navigate through Cooper's tumultuous legal battles and the intense harassment she faced from Scientology. This episode sheds light on the significant FBI raids that unveiled the Church’s illegal activities and Cooper's vital role in the investigation. We'll also discuss her enduring influence on online platforms and activism, particularly through groups like Anonymous. Paulette Cooper's story isn't just about her trials; it's about her incredible resilience and her lasting impact on the fight against controversial practices within Scientology.
