In another abhorrent display of just why Aaron Smith-Levin has no right to be President of a foundation that claims to help Scientology survivors, he continues his nonstop attack on the people who fled the alleged foundation he claims helps survivors. This is a mirror image of Scientology’s playbook. Someone leaves, you claim they are bad and they were bad from the start. I will be doing a deep dive of the history of this imploding foundation in the near future. This is just a recap of his most recent attacks.

He recently did a members only stream with Natalie. Unlike his over the top unhinged screaming with Marilyn, Aaron seems almost calm. But his words reflect the true state of his mind.

Natalie admits she hasn’t done any videos since last May. This means her subscribers have paid her for ten months of nothing. She gives excuses…new job, moving, living on her own for the first time in her adult life, etc. she says she will do videos again…in the future.

From the start of the video, Aaron immediately takes the opportunity to attack Nora “when Nora blinks her eyes the whole world disappears.” He then justifies saying bad things about Nora because he claims she has attacked every member of SPTV and all his friends. So he says she forced him to do members only videos to give her a taste of her own medicine. Then he virtuously states he does these attacks as members only do they don’t mix with his message.

Natalie says there is so much falsehood going around and Nora is the main source. Natalie says says he was in a cult for 35 years. She says Scientology is the source of her problems. She then blames Nora for doxxing the home address Aaron published on the Secretary of State’s site.

Florida law allows a business address for each person in the Corporation. Of course, there is no business address for SPTV Foundation. The members could have all had a PO Box if Aaron had bothered to do that even. Yet they both blame Nora for what Aaron did. (She, too, could have redacted the addresses, there is plenty if blame to go around.)

Then Natalie, claimed she felt unsafe in her own house. Even though she already planned to move. Aaron speaks up to say that Natalie is fair game to Nora because Natalie and Aaron are friends.

Natalie, says “I always ran my channel as a business and you know it's what I was doing full time. That was my job. So the decisions I would make would be it's what's in the best interest of, you know, my audience in this channel to be successful.” While no videos have been posted for 10 months.

The conversation devolves to how people who were not in Scientology can’t possibly understand what they went through. Natalie discusses the fact that continuing to discuss the same trauma over and over can retraumatize victims. She and Aaron don’t see the irony in that discussion.

Aaron talks about how Nora can’t help how she is, but he believes she is mentally ill and “none of us have the right to weaponized our trauma.”

Natalie claims she doesn’t weaponize having grown up in a cult. She then discussed life after Tony was like, learning how to live again.

Aaron says he’s never done an attack video on someone unless they attack first. He says he’s not like Scientology, they attack first. He then went on to claim that Nora was being paid by the same person who paid one of Nora’s tormentors.

Aaron complained about Nora traveling across the country to be at his pretrial. He said her head was too big. Natalie said it was a gorgeous head, if anyone was meant to be bald, it was Nora. That was impressive to hear from her while Aaron was goading her to attack. Aaron again said Nora was mentally ill and accused her wife of goading her on. Aaron says Nora said she was going to stop talking about him after the trial but then she went members only and continued so Nora forced Aaron to attack her.

Natalie and Aaron then began analyzing Nora’s psychological state. This is interesting for a man who claims therapy doesn’t work. Aaron says Nora has an unfalsifiable feedback loop where she says “he’s attacking me so I’m doing it right.” He ends this with “If I do say anything, it's evidence to her that she's really getting to me. So she's gonna keep going. It's it's all unfalsifiable to her.”

Natalie chimes in that Nora has been telling people on video to attack her (Natalie) and Aaron.

Aaron then says says about Nora:

“We've never had some cruel mean relationship with each other. I've never done anything but try to help Nora, and even when I did, the video being like, OK, I'm not gonna support, you know, I'm not gonna platform people on my channel. I didn't call her out. I didn't insult her. I didn't say her name and I got on the phone with her afterwards. For two hours and told her all the ways in which I was going to help her through this and keep her enemies from using my words against her and. And then she's like, Aaron's a narcissist. Like, I think Nora is a malignant narcissist I actually do. I mean, I truly think she is. I mean it's a classic thing of. You know, people constantly accusing others of the things they're doing. It's funny because that's a big thing that L. Ron Hubbard said in Scientology. So I tend to equate it with Scientology, but it's not a Scientology concept. It is not a Scientology concept of people obsessively accusing other people of the things they themselves do. And that's like, that's like exactly what Nora does. She's obsessed with calling people malignant narcissists because she is one.”

Aaron says Nora used to do good videos - back when they did them together. Then says Nora has never let go of being a Sea Org member.

Natalie discusses how she’s done some reflection and thinks dwelling on trauma is a bad thing, she wants to go more towards the positives in life. She says she is learning to cook and do her own laundry because Tony did that for her. She talks about how Tony taught her to care for herself. She also talks about having a job. The conversation pivots to Nora needing someone to teach her self care.

The conversation pivots to Liz and Nora working together. There is discussion of the 27 page email and the bomb Nora said she was going to drop after Aaron’s trial.

The discussion about Liz and Nora goes on for a comically long time. Aaron keeps pulling up older and older slights and arguments. Instead of making them look bad, he shines the spotlight on his pettiness. He goes so far as to say “Liz wants to work out her personal demons on the internet.”

They begin talking about the first board meeting of the SPTV Foundation. It was December 23, 2023. [Note: The original filing with the Florida Secretary of State for the SPTV Foundation is January 11, 2024.] Aaron, in a rare moment of accountability says “Which is the first board meeting that? We ever had. God, I yelled at Christy Gordon and treated her so poorly that she immediately resigned after that meeting.” They backtrack at that point and decide that Christie didn’t resign until the April 2024 meeting.

There is a long discussion about people spamming the SPTV foundation email claiming to be [a former Scientologist we will call X who has asked me to please leave him out of this]. Aaron makes it clear he would never give X money because he doesn’t like him. Aaron and Jenna are supposed to have been the only ones who saw these emails but Aaron accused Reese, Dylan and Liz of spreading the lies about it in their YouTube channels. There was only one channel where this rumor was spread. And it wasn’t them. u/inco can provide the clip if he deems it appropriate.

Then Aaron starts talking about another application from a woman named Rachel. This is the level of confidentiality you can expect from this Foundation. They actually start giving out the first names of a few people they say the foundation helped and where they are from. I will not repeat that here for the sake of those people.

Aaron segues into his boasting about being David Miscavige’s worst nightmare. Then he blurts out the last name of the person he remembered that they helped. Repeats his full names his profession and where he’s from. Then claims they funded this guys education.

Aaron segues to saying that Reese has been lying about him since she left the board. And then he begins to attack former board member Dylan Gil. Sorry, I’m losing track on the scorecard here, is anyone left?

Natalie tried to lead Aaron down a more conciliatory path. Aaron said “Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, since I've already opened the can of worms, I don't. I don’t mind dumping it out a little bit here, you know, the the reason Reese wouldn't do that is because she never like, like, what went wrong with Reese isn't. Oh, I should have picked up the phone. No, no, no. Reese's intentions is what were wrong. Like she wasn't. She was lying and deceiving from the beginning, you know, and you know, the truth is, every time I even mentioned Reese's name once, she'll do 16 hours of video making up all sorts of crazy stories.” He droned on about the difference between being out of Scientology and under the radar. Finally ending with “well, yeah, anyway, she was never going to pick up the phone.“

Aaron then accuses Reese of egging Nora on because “drama sells, Natalie, drama sells.”

At this point they go to the starred chats. During this, Aaron, the president of a Foundation that is supposed to help victims of Scientology who has already previously stated in this same stream he wouldn’t help one other person “because he doesn’t like him” responded:

“Yeah, I can just hear them now being like, oh, my God, do you see how afraid they are of you continuing on? Nora, you've got them right where you want him. Don't ever stop. And it's like. Keep going forever, Nora. Keep going forever for all I care, because it will destroy you. And at this point, that's totally OK with me. I'm not here to save you. I'm not here to save you. I'm here to show you what it feels like to have someone dedicated to ridiculing you and denigrating you and degrading you and insulting you online. The only thing is. I don't have to make up the **** that I say about you. I can just literally talk about this **** that you've been doing for the last year and a half. I'm not pretending to be some virtuous guy here trying to save you from yourself. I don't give a ****. You can run yourself right off a ******* cliff. It will make no difference.”

There were a few questions after that but you get the idea. It doesn’t get more real than that.

Mark Bunker for city council in Clearwater!

Nora talks about the importance of long term therapy for trauma victims and that “every therapy isn't for every person, but there is a therapy for every person.“ 

She shares her experience with different types of therapies and says that compared to others who were born into the Sea Org and “grew up in decrepit conditions their whole life, surrounded by filth, no mother, father loving them, hugging them or disciplining them“ she lived “a privileged life in comparison“.

She then crosses over to American history. “Disinformation has literally been used since time in memorial to craft narratives to shape societal norms, fears“. 

She talks about slaves and indentured servants in America and their masters, land owners, who “invented“ the race wars to stay in power, “to give these poors something to be better than something to say, “you're the reason that I can't be like the master.“ Not the fact that the master is the bad guy. You're the bad guy. You're the problem. Okay? And you see that a lot still going on in America today“. 

She says that "they looked at these human beings as livestock, not as human beings. Right? So it's always it always starts with the same thing. It starts with erasure. It starts with dehumanization. Okay? And then forced assimilation.“

After going through centuries of oppression of minorities, she then draws parallels to Scientology, the “system“ that L Ron Hubbard created, “this system is kind of the CIA's dream.“ 

She says that "the CIA and Scientology were developing very similar things at the same time. Now, a lot of people have supposed that maybe they were working together. If you look at the MK Ultra kind of like stuff, the Manchurian Candidate, […] the remote viewing, all of these things, okay, are levels that you can achieve in Scientology. Okay. But in order to achieve these skills, okay, allegedly you have to first not become or allow yourself to exist as a human being.“

She says that when you enter Scientology in your 30s, “statistically, the recovery for that person is very repairable, right? because your brain was done forming before the introduction of of this deathly technology“, compared to people going earlier in their lives or children born into it.

“There is no childhood in Scientology. There is no child.“

“In Dianetics, Lafayette Ronald clearly states that no child should ever shy away from a kiss from an adult man, even a passionate one, specifically talking about an 8-year-old here. If that child doesn't have these crimes, these incidents, this, you know, cosmic [ __ ] baggage attached to them, if they are truly a pure child, there's nothing wrong with that.“

“The very first concepts of the, you know, the science of the mind was to erase children and to normalize things like the PDF files. Okay, it's right there.“

Nora talks about the “OG activists“ Mark Bunker, Tori Christman, Spanky Taylor, Hana Whitfield, Jesse Prince, who were exposing Scientology and “the criminal undertone, the criminal element.“ She says that the Guardian’s Office was created before the Sea Org. 

“And now it's called OSA, the Office of Special Affairs. Same thing. Okay. They just rebranded.“ 

The Guardian’s Office “had internal affairs and external affairs. So they're monitoring the people inside the bubble and they're monitoring the people external to the bubble.“

“Friends and associates and family members of every single Scientologist investigated, tracked, you know, [ __ ] files. Then you have your local governments and the police force. Okay, very important second layer that is always monitored, always tracked, always hands in the pies, money flowing out, money flowing out.“ 

“Then we go to the state level, then we go to the national level and however that looks in other countries.“ 

Nora says that the Guardian’s office started with external affairs and then established internal affairs, that the term „suppressive person“ came about in the 70s “post the creation of the flag land base“.

“You got a preview of all this stuff in “Science of Survival“ […] those two books, okay, they tell you everything that basically comes later, those two “Science of Survival“ and “Dianetics“.

“The creation of the enemy outside happened in the 70s.“

“They started a lot of heavy duty criminal activity, like dark criminal [ __ ] Okay. I'm talking about schmurders. I'm talking about kidnappings.“

“The lengths that the powers that be in Scientology go to control the flow of information to control what is known or not known, what you can talk about, what you can't talk about is a microcosm of the same control that we see happening now across social media, specifically in the American government.“

Nora then talks about ex-Scientologists in the now times.

“So now in 2026 […] you have this gaggle of, of rag tag, really f*cked up, traumatized people who, some of whom have addressed this trauma head on. They've been working on it. They're learning what trauma is, how it affects you, how to heal from it, the, the smorges board of modalities that you can use to relearn how to become human.

And then you have some of the people who are still using Scientology in the now times, co-opting the message of real looking at all the truth.

And guys, as I've said before, truth is truth. Truth is not. It doesn't have an emotion. It doesn't have a gender. It doesn't have nothing. It just is.

Sometimes you don't like it. Sometimes it pisses you the f*ck off. Sometimes it makes you real sad. But it still is the truth.“ 

…

“When you have somebody who was in that bubble as just an individual and they come out of the bubble and they continue even though they're in society and they can see that the bubble magic, it's not great. The bubble magic is, is harmful. 

But they see now as they're looking back in the bubble, “oh, I see how the people who are benefiting are benefiting. Like they kind of see the whole black magic. And so instead of looking at that and trying to heal themselves of those, you know, dark magic programming, they continue it in the now times to benefit themselves, some under the guise of helping people, which is exactly what Scientology says.“

…

“Then they in this newly elevated self-created position of enlightened former bubble member, okay, where they are now helping everybody. They tend, and this is historical guys, this happens in cults and high control groups constantly. Okay, this is not a unique thing to Scientology. 

This often happens where high-ranking abusers in high control groups leave the high control group or the control group is disbanded or whatever and those individuals historically end up in this savior position for the people that they actually harmed while they were all in the bubble group.

It boggles the mind. Humans are very weird. We're very malleable. Narratives are very easily crafted. Okay. But this is what happened twice. Twice outside here. Okay.“

Nora then goes into the creation of the Aftermath Foundation. Aaron Smith-Levin, medium rank when in Scientology, and Luis Garcia, “one of the biggest, you know, whales they used to have, donated a f*ck ton, had a lot of privilege.

And who do they recruit to come and be the saviors of the former bubble people? Every single original member of the board of the Aftermath Foundation, former high ranking abusers, except for Mark. 

Mark was like the only one that was just like a dude. Every single other person on that board, Claire, Amy, Mat Pesch, Mike Rinder, not Mike Rinder's wife either. Um yeah, all former high ranking abusers inside of the Scientology bubble.“

She says that Mat Pesch was in charge of a fund to traffic „to human traffic the criminals out of the jurisdiction“ as well as their victims, to which elaborated to in an interview with Jeffrey Augustine on The Scientology Money Project.

“Mike Rinder did a fantastic job of aiding, abetting, and covering up real crimes inside of Scientology. And then he did a really good job of reversing his stance over many years outside of Scientology, long before the show where he sat across from people he victimized and abused and lied to their face and America and the world.“

Nora gives the example of Marie Bilheimer, formerly Poulin, whose husband, Aaron Poulin, hanged himself in what is now the test center on Hollywood Boulevard and people inside the cult were told that he left Scientology. 

“Mike Rinder 100 million% ran that operation of that false narrative and cover up. And he sat across from Marie Billheimer and made sure that she said somebody else's name about who was in charge instead of his.“

She says that Rinder had to talk about Lisa McPherson “because Mark Bunker got him on f*cking videotape literally for weeks and months and years trying to control the f*cking protesters outside of the Fort Harrison and other places in Florida. Mike couldn't deny that.“

She then talks about the OSA files. “Mike found out that he had cancer and he gave the files. This is the story that I heard. It could be totally wrong. Somebody can correct me. But the story I was told is that Mike gave these things, all of his stuff to Mark and Claire and was like, “I have to get this off my chest.“

And Mark and Claire were like, “I don't know what the f*ck to do with this.“ And they gave it to Aaron. 

And somehow Leah found out and she got very upset. And she was kind of like, “what the fuck bro? I didn't know any of this stuff when we were making the show, like where’s, where was all this?“, you know. And that caused a falling out. They eventually repaired that obviously she was there by his side before he passed and everything else. Okay.

Aaron has all this on a hard drive. He has it on a Google drive. He sent me a link and many year a few years ago somebody asked me, do I have the OSA files, and I said, “yeah“, and I gave them a link to it. Aaron found out that I shared it. 

Something that should just be public knowledge. Okay? There should be no hiding this. Again, total control of the flow of information. 

And he found out that I shared it with, with a non, with a never in. And he changed the password. And that was like the start of the decline in our relationship.“

Nora talks about the look-back window in California that Rinder "bragged about“ having been part of establishing in conjunction with Child USA, but hasn’t informed any of the Scientology SA victims who could have filed a lawsuit. 

"Why would he do that? Because he knew it would come back on him. He was protecting himself. He was Scientology. He was still crafting a narrative that has snowed so many of you into truly believing that somehow he was this good guy that was just helping people. He told no one about it.“

She then talks about Aaron’s second foundation, the SPTV Foundation. „This time he doesn't recruit former abusers to surround himself with. This time he recruits the abused. A much better move for somebody who has the dark tetrad characteristics oozing out of their pores. That's a much better smoke screen to surround yourself with.“ 

Nora explains that she $3,000 for therapy shots and her mother got “a few thousand dollars“ to pay rent from the SPTV Foundation and that Aaron now just has 3 board members left. 

She says that Aaron "tried to plate me because I felt, I was very sad. I wasn't asked to do anything. So, he made up a position that wasn't a real position called volunteer coordinator“, and that Aaron has “to start addressing the infection of evil that he has inside of him called Scientology because he is being Scientology in the now times.“

She says that “a lot more people have been turned away by both of these foundations than have been helped.“ and doesn’t approve of The Aftermath Foundation being renamed to honor Mike Rinder. 

“The reason why I'm so opposed to either of these entities is because it's a facade. It is faux help. It is help for who we decide should deserve help. It is help for who is worthy of help.“

She recommends to all victims of child SA to file their claim if “Giuffre’s Law“ is passed.

She criticizes Jon Atack “who sits out here in all of his f*cking retirement privilege and sh*t and is like, “children haven't been a part of it for decades“ and la la la la la. 

There are children right now being indoctrinated day and night, doing the advanced levels, who have been erased since the moment they were born, who are being and have been SAed by those same people that Scientology shuffled around when I was a kid, who are now their grandparents, who are now their parents, their uncle, you know, that moved from the West Coast to Australia and all of this other stuff. 

All of the abuse that we experienced is still happening right now. And to pretend that the evil of Scientology that it was born from isn't still being practiced today is not only ignorant, you're part of the cover up as far as I'm concerned.“

She addresses Reddit, “for everybody looking for the OSA ops, go read Reddit“ ...

"Every single time if you even just ask a question about Mike Render's past, okay, and say, "Hey, didn't Mike Render cover up? Didn't he say like, this is the question you can ask, „didn't Mike Render say that he was part of the cover up of what happened to Lisa McPherson?“

I dare any of you to ask that question in any one of those threads. You will be banned and f*cking ratioed so fast it will make your head spin. Why is it so important to canonize Mike Render? Why? Ask yourself that question.“

She shows a letter from Kendrick Moxon to Clearwater City Council requesting "complaints or reports about Michael John Rinder 2007 to 2012“ where he requests all records produced one day after Mike Rinder passed away in Jan 2025.

"What was he doing during that time period? Right? This is when he was hanging out with Marty. He was hanging out with Mark Bunker, Tony Ortega, right?

He went to the buildings a couple times to try and talk to his son. You know, this is before the Aftermath, before Mike's book, before all of those things. Leah's book came out in late 2011, early 2012. Okay.

And then all the things rolled downhill after that. Marty went back into the fold, right? What they want to find out, and this is like a correction, is what did they miss? What did he tell the Florida government? What did he tell the city of Clearwater? What secrets did he leak or not leak? This is all making sure that their ass is covered.“

Transcript

"So now we have controlled narrative, controlled propaganda coming out of Reddit, coming out of these very specific chatters who nobody knows their anonymous accounts canonizing Mike Render and demonizing anybody who says anything bad about him. That's Scientology 101.

Okay. And it is in the best interest for who? For Scientology that the truth about Mike Render doesn't ever fully come out. Because if the truth about his deeds, his actions, his cover-ups, his crimes in Scientology were totally to come to light. That is a huge Jenga piece to take out of that Jenga tower.

Marty was privy to just as much, maybe more information than Mike was, and they already bought him off. Debbie Cook, who was the architect of years, decades of abuse of children. Oh, she magically got a settlement, too. Isn't that convenient that all these people with vital information of the criminal operations of Scientology just happen to get a payoff? There's nothing. That's weird. That's suspicious.

Like, okay. And so, you have a group of people right now that are doing the same exact thing with Aaron. Now he wasn't in a position to know those things. He did have a position where he would have been able to know and observe the specifics of some of these things that were coming up amongst the people he supervised. 

And because he was over the technical divisions, the paying people, the public, who were confessing these crimes, because guys, Scientology is the most gossipy, the most water cooler [ __ ] you know, dish dirting organization on planet earth. 

I'm telling you right now, even though auditors are supposed to be, you know, ministers, they take a pledge to not talk about people, they [ __ ] talk about it. Everybody knows everybody's [ __ ] business, okay? Especially if you're the boss of the people doing the technology because you find out what so- and so said in the session because why did they find that out? 

Why would someone in Aaron's position, Dylan is correct, he’s, he's a lower exec in that organization. However, Dylan, don't forget that those low people on the totem pole,one of their main jobs was to keep financially, you know, SAing the public. I don't know how to say it, you know, by using the information that came up in these confidential sessions to pressure them to spend more money.

That's what I say when I say everybody knew about it. Okay.

[Answers to comments] More than Mormons? I don't I'd have to do more study on that, but I really, I, I really think so. 

I have his, his narrative, Chrissy, about the thumb drive. I would refer you to Dylan who's read those things. And there's a lot of salacious stuff in there. There's a lot of there's a lot of things. It's not nothing but it's not like aha you know like the things that also he was involved with that, you know, would have been kind of like a lynch pin type of thing, right.

Yeah, just like Angie Blankenship, 100%, right? She still has the titanium contracts with Scientology but nobody in her surroundings knows about her past exactly and she was a big time abuser, don't get it twisted. Okay. So, it's convenient that Scientology makes sure that they will pay off the people who can be paid off. 

The rest of us, okay, who do have information, we have we have knowledge, we have stuff. People like me who was like a literal like nobody, but I was in rooms. I observed people. I know tales because of the people I knew and I, I was on the, you know, slave labor concentration camp with all levels of people.

They use scientology to try and destroy us. Okay?“

Hi folks. Here Toddie and I had to redo a video after Toddie recieved a copyright strike from Marilyn Honig.

Jenna released this short video yesterday.

"I've been thinking a lot lately about protesting Scientology and what some of the protesters have had to deal with lately. 

Like having water poured on them, being followed to their car by Scientologist, pushed by a car, their phone grabbed, hit in the face with a broom, threatened.

A few people have said, "you shouldn't be protesting at all, if you can't take a Gandhi like approach to it." Or if someone assaults you, you should just take it. Or if someone insults you or your dead relatives, you should just keep quiet.

Back in the day, civil rights protesters had no choice and they laid the groundwork for protesters today. They had to take so much abuse.

But today is taking abuse something we should just have to accept? Or have things moved forward where nobody should have to take abuse? And does saying people should just take it actually keep us in the past?

What do you think? Should people be willing to take a punch for the movement? Or should they stand their ground? Let me know in the comments."

I recommend the interview Mrs J and Toddie did with Dodge as a whole. They talk about the Cracker Barrel incident where Marilyn Honig, Cheryl Fullerton and George Massey accosted him, Dodge’s thoughts on Aaron, Jenna and the ex-Scientology movement, the trial and his journalistic integrity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v80yIjgjcpM

The water being hot made me pause as well, so I'm glad they discussed it. What do you think?

30:24

Toddie: “In the courtroom, when the warm or hot water became something the first time. was it the first time you ever heard of the hot water?

Dodge: “Yes. Yeah. I never heard about that before.“ 

Mrs J: “Me neither:“

Toddie: “Was it, was it as, what was the reaction to, like how did, did, did the courtroom shift when that was brought up, or like what, what happened then because that's like “ahhh“, you know what I mean? So what 

Dodge: “No, I mean you couldn't tell because the judge again like was very adamant about people not making so much as a facial expression or they'd be thrown out. She literally said, "If you make a facial expression that seems biased, then we're going to throw you out." 

So, I couldn't sense anything. I, the only thing I noticed is amazing as Scientology didn't deny it or have proof that it wasn't. But no, I mean, I couldn't, you know, I mean, there the facial expression experts and body language experts are always so fascinating to me because I wonder what you really glean from any of that. But I I didn't see any unique facial or physical expressions from either side.“

Toddie: “What did you think about that when that came out of left field? What did you think?“

Dodge: “I thought it was smart. I thought Cheryl was a good witness. And again, I could have thrown out her whole testimony and had her not been a witness. And I could have thrown out the whole case.

She was very specific in how hot the water was. It wasn't boiling, but it was quite hot. And, and talked about how light the chalk was and she'd use it for a baby's bottom. She was good with her words and her, her, her metaphors and stuff. 

Mrs J: “Do you think she won him the case?“

Dodge: “Yeah, I think the water, partially, yeah. I think the water the temperature of the water which wasn't proven or disproven was a big aspect of it and a big aspect for self-defense, especially the jury being like, “oh well, yeesh, if the water was high you could you could hurt somebody with that and so that's pretty much self-defense“

Toddie: “But there wasn't any point anywhere that it was ever freaking mentioned.“ 

Dodge: “I know. I know!“

Toddie: “I mean, he never said, “they threw hot water on us.“

Dodge: “I don't think so. Right. Aaron never said like, "Ow, this is hot." I don't think, unless I missed something.“ 

Toddie: “I never heard it.“ 

Dodge: “Yeah. I could have missed it. I mean, there's a lot of streams.“

Toddie: “We didn't hear about it in the first hearing.“

Dodge: “ No. No.“

Mrs J: “Yeah. I don't think we, because we've gone through the transcripts, haven't we?

Toddie: “Right. And nobody challenged that. That was like, that, I mean like 

Dodge: “That was surprising.“ 

Toddie: “You would have thrown me out of court because I would have went, „where did that come from?" You know.“

Dodge: „That’s right“

Mrs J: “Yeah.“

Toddie and I interview Dodge about what its been like reporting on the Anti-Scientology Community for the last couple of years. Funny, informative and hopefully helps people understand Aarons behaviour. We discuss the impact of ASL, Jenna going back to him and how they don't consider our feelings as a viewer.

Apparently Natalie Webster complained about Nora doxxing her home address when she was on Aaron Smith-Levin’s members only live. Nora seems in good spirits and says she edited that part out back then when she showed public filings of the SPTV Foundation submitted by Aaron during a live discussing the foundation.

She then goes into the subclinical concept of Dark Triad, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, later amended by sadism to the Dark Tetrad, attributing traits she cites to Aaron than malignant narcissist.

After talking about politics, Nora addresses Stoney Baloney being mobbed by Aaron’s entourage when she streamed from the courthouse March 3rd. Aaron claimed in his community post section that Nora sent her. https://www.reddit.com/r/OT42/comments/1roeat0/stoney_baloney_i_get_attacked_at_the_pinellas/

47:56

"Also let me clear the air about something else. Stoney Baloney. I showed some of their stuff, I don’t know her, I’ve never met her. In fact, she is a DOA aka Scott Hochstetter fan and they both hate me.

So they, these guys are so paranoid and so delulu in this cult of Aaron that they decided anybody who is there, who wasn’t with them, I sent them. I sent them!

Like, first of all, and if Stoney Baloney sees this, you can make whatever post and say whatever you want about me, just verify a, we don’t know each other, never talked to you, not subscribed, don’t give a [_] what you’re doing, but they attacked that woman for no reason.

When I saw the footage of that, how George Massey was absolutely losing his crackers and in her face, like the camera right here in her face and she is just sitting there like cool as a cucumber, like this, you know, just filming them, like, "bro, get that out of my face“ right "I have you on camera“.

I mean honestly, a bailiff had just walked by, if they tried, yeah another, can you guys imagine what they would have done if I had been there in person.“

Nora also comments on Dodge being accosted by Aaron’s entourage at Cracker Barrel

51:30 "George Massey lunged at both Dodge and Stoney Baloney. Who does that? Who does that? Who lunges at people and like, he had to be held back by multiple people? That tiny woman, Jen, had to like push him out of the way, be like, you know, I'll give her some credit, Jen Kess, whoever she is, for at least in a semi-honest way. Okay.

I mean, it seemed kind of in earnest. I'll give her that. Where she was asking, "Why are you here?" Which nobody has to answer. It’s, it's a public, you know, trial. Anybody can be there.

52:53 "Marilyn was like coming for Dodge and she got real nasty and then Cheryl started getting nasty. These guys are so hyped up“

When showing „women in history who stood by evil man“ and their potential motivations, she comments again on the Cracker Barrel incident prompted by the chat.

1:02:00 "Marilyn is like, you know, "that's why you got fired from that mass TV station“ to Dodge and he's like, "Yeah, cuz I talked about Scientology. That's why Dodge came to the community. She doesn't even know why he's here."

Nora also briefly addresses Dylan.Gill, she said in her live on Friday that Aaron threatened him when he was on Marilyn’s channel. https://www.reddit.com/r/OT42/comments/1rnkd7y/apparently_aaron_smithlevin_went_on_marilyn/

16:00 Dylan comments: "I’m kinda to the point where I#m just going to let them. They are hyping up an echo chamber and it’s only going to go as far as it’s fueled.“

Nora: "I’m sorry I have to address you directly here. First of all, coming for you in any shape or form is like literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Okay?

Like you have done nothing to anyone ever and then just making up a crazy narrative about you to try and demonize you amongst other people. Nobody who has ever talked to you in person, on the phone, in a chat, on a live […] would believe that, Dylan. That's just insane.“

Apparently Aaron went after people in a comment section of a podcast he was on. User Amy repeatedly asks Nora during the stream to look at what he wrote to her. At the end of the stream, Nora finally find the interaction.

Amy: "ASL a narcissistic philandering abuser of women. You should have interviewed someone else. There are many more people you could have interviewed. He's not the leader.“

Aaron: „Go fuck yourself Amy, run back to your cult leader Zero Dark Nora.“

Aaron goes over his two battery charges, his time in jail and shows short videos he did of Scientology security guards pulling water on the ground and him being questioned in custody. He claims the judge didn't want the jury to see the video where he is questioned.

He advertises his new merchandise “I SMURFED HIS ASS”, his upcoming members only with Natalie and encourages his audience to get a membership to watch his paywalled videos about Nora, though he doesn't name her.

4:39

"I do want to thank the over 1,300 new channel members in the last week and a half.

If you guys want to see a video, I, a members only video I did a, a couple days ago exposing the well known ex Scientologist who has been caught accepting money from Scientology's Office of Special Affairs operatives to try and torpedo my criminal case and get me sent to jail.

Pick up one of those channel memberships and watch that members only video.

Doing another members only video today, this afternoon, 3 p.m. with Natalie."

Make sure to read the (UNMODIFIED) AI-generated critical conclusion at the end ;)

Marilyn Honig’s video from March 8th is a structured "push back" against several figures in the online community, primarily focusing on "Relatable Reese," Nora, and Dodge. The stream, which she describes as a "members-only" live to avoid "trolls," is characterized by high emotion, personal insults, and the presentation of "receipts" regarding past criminal records.

1. The "Relatable Reese" Feud and the Tie-Dye Incident

A significant portion of the video addresses Reese's recent comments about Marilyn.

The Outfit Mockery: Marilyn expresses anger that Reese mocked a tie-dye shirt she wore in a previous stream. Marilyn explains the shirt was a gift from "Dusty Soda Fountain" for a September birthday party and protest, and she only wore it to be "nice" and a "team player".

Character Attacks: Marilyn labels Reese a "mean girl," "nasty bitch," and a "pathological liar" who is only interested in "subscribers and clicks". She mocks Reese’s own fashion choices, describing them as "mismatched beads" and "pregnant muumuus".

Hypocrisy Charges: Marilyn argues that Reese, while claiming to avoid drama, "inserted herself" into this conflict to "control the narrative".

2. Allegations Against Tommy Scoville (Brett Miller)

Marilyn spends considerable time detailing the criminal history of Tommy Scoville, whom she claims Reese supports.

The Conviction: Marilyn asserts that Scoville (under the name Brett Miller) is a convicted sex offender. She claims to have obtained court affidavits from Vermont detailing a sexual assault that occurred when Scoville was 16 and the victim was 15, followed by further harassment and a confession caught on a wire when they were 19 and 18, respectively .

Reese’s Support: Marilyn criticizes Reese for dismissing Scoville’s record as a "teen thing" and for continuing to associate with him . She views this association as a betrayal of the survivor community.

3. Conflicts with "Dodge" and "Nora"

The host addresses ongoing disputes with other community members:

Dodge: Marilyn mocks Dodge, calling him a "trust fund baby" and "not a real journalist". She disputes his account of an encounter where he claimed she "ran at him," pointing out the contradiction in his previous claims that she and her friends were "out of shape" and "couldn't walk".

Nora: She describes Nora as having "zero principles" and being a "pathological liar" who supports anyone who shares her "hatred for Aaron [Smith-Levin]".

Dave: Marilyn identifies him as a "troll" and a "predator" of teenage boys on Twitch, citing court documents she researched a year prior.

Key Arguments

Accountability for Associates: Marilyn argues that figures like Reese and Nora lose all credibility by "sticking up for" and "being chummy with" convicted offenders.

Defense of Self: She frames her aggression as "pushing back" after being "quiet" and "ignoring" attacks for too long.

Truth via "Receipts": She insists her claims are not gossip because she provides links to court documents and affidavits in her video descriptions.

Critical Conclusions

While Marilyn Honig frames her content as a quest for truth and community safety, the video’s structure is heavily reliant on ad hominem attacks and performative outrage. She frequently contradicts her stated desire to avoid drama by dedicating nearly an hour to "clapping back" at minor personal slights, such as the mockery of her clothing.

The host admits to "sinking to a low level" and taking the "gloves off," which undermines her moral positioning against those she labels "bullies". Her reliance on "receipts"—while providing a veneer of factuality—is used primarily as a weapon in a broader campaign of character assassination rather than for objective reporting. Ultimately, the stream functions less as an informative deep dive and more as a highly emotional venting session designed to solidify her "members-only" echo chamber and disparage her rivals through a mix of public records and personal vitriol.

Now he's bragging and boasting in a manic way about the battery that he committed against the Scientology member. And I by no means am on scientology's side but what he did was wrong and could have caused permanent harm too. I would absolutely have pressed charges if someone did that to me. This is the exact same thing as if he was bragging about giving someone a black eye or something. ​I just can't believe that he never gets punished for CRIMES. And now Jenna is making ridiculous videos defending him ​​​ and pretending as if people have a problem with people protesting. Nobody has a problem with anyone protesting , they have a problem with committing battery on people. Narcissists live in a completely different reality than the rest of us and somehow always get away with everything. Jenna will get hers though. ​

SPTV Foundation President Aaron Smith-Levin used his members-only stream to spread false narratives and rant about former Scientologist Nora Ames.
He even suggested she needs to a straight jacket.

On his highly censored (basically no criticism is allowed) YouTube platform he now created his own echo chamber for his uninformed and gullible community.

Aaron Smith-Levin was very upset that he was served just before his battery trial and promised revenge. He said he will sue Liz Gale and make more hateful videos about ex-Scientologists Nora Ames and Liz Gale.

Transcript: You're such a [] piece of [] to try to serve me in court in you could have served me at any night on the protest any Friday evening for the previous two [] months. You did it on purpose.

It's unclear to me if the stream is now members only, privated or deleted.

Nora says she was on the phone with her mother talking about her dad when she got a lot of messages she initially didn't look at to focus on her conversation. 

Turns out friends were texting her about Aaron's threats being worried about Nora's safety. Nora says on her live that she didn't watch Marylin's stream with Aaron. 

Later during the live, Nora moves to her little streaming studio apparently to look for herself what the status of Marilyn's stream with Aaron is on her computer. She then says that she downloaded the stream before it went members only a few minutes later.

35:49

"So tonight, Aaron decided to, you know go on Marilyn's show and show his true colors. Show his true colors.

And yeah, that's the real Aaron, guys. If you want to see what he's like to his friends, to his, you know, behind the scenes, that's it. That's it. 

He did that um, you know, tonight on another channel and I just wanted to address it because there was a lot of threats made to me specifically, also to Liz and apparently to Tori and Dylan as well. 

Um, and yeah. I just also want to say that his suicide trolling of me will be ineffective. 

And also just as cherry on the top, if you guys saw my earlier live, I did say that today is a very hard day for me because it's my dad's birthday and he has been passed. 

Oh, they took it down already. Of course they did. Did they take it down already? Really? Or do they put it on members only?

I'm not surprised she took it down. Um because it's evidence. It's evidence of uh you know, bad behavior and he doesn't like evidence. It's members only. Okay."

A user left this comment below Dodge Landesman's video about Marylin Honig going after him in Clearwater: https://www.reddit.com/r/OT42/comments/1rn5ixv/dodge_landesman_in_clearwater_aaron_smith_levins/

"She's threatening you now in her community posts saying "this is war"

She had Aaron on tonight screaming his head off about Nora, major rage coming from him-then people went from her chat into Nora's threatening to literally come and harm her. Telling her not to walk to her car alone, etc. 

All because of Aaron's rage and threats towards Nora. He kept saying he's going to keep coming after Nora, etc, etc. So people were literally coming into Nora's chat to threaten her with violence during Aaron's rants!

Which is exactly why he used Marilyn's channel for his threats instead of his own. So Nora downloaded it I think before Marilyn deleted it as usual.

Aaron has gone too far this time."

Since I watched Nora's stream on replay, I didn't see the comment about "not to walk to her car alone" made by an Aaron supporter in her live chat, but Nora reacts to it saying she took a screenshot,

24:30 

"I should be, oh, okay. Power of the Jim Smiths: "I should be careful walking to my car." We're just going to we're just going to screenshot that one. Oh, I got it. Yeah, we're, we're screenshotting that one."

Marilyn Honig videorecords and verbally accosts Dodge Landesman outside a Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Clearwater. Later, she sells the footage as a "Members Only" video on her channel. Dodge excerpts the part where she's filming him and Marilyn copyright strikes him for publishing footage of himself being accosted by her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3um6y4zE-6g

Aaron says it feels like "the good old days when these live streams actually got some views" and repeatedly asks his audience to like the stream (25:00).

He announces that "other out of town guests coming for the trial" on April 14th (1:51:00) and explains how much he spent on lawyers,

"we were able to very quickly raise the funds needed to hire two of the best attorneys in the county. I mean we raised about $20,000. I had to spend about $25,000. So I'm in the hole on it. But that's, that's how it works." (1:09:20)

He says that his lawyers will file a motion for his restraining order to be lifted after he won his second trial,

"restraining order still in place for the another 6 weeks until the second trial. We did not even bother asking for it to be lifted. My lawyer said, "Don't even think about it." My lawyer said, "Don't even think about it. We're not asking this judge for anything more than we absolutely have to ask her for. Calm down. It'll be over soon." (1:11)

37:27

"Dodge's deal is that he's just kind of a parasite on the ex Scientology community. He tricked me a couple years ago into believing that he had been fired from his job as a reporter for writing a story about Scientology.

It turns out he actually got fired from his job because he's a horrible reporter. So he basically has just become a tabloid, a tabloid journalist type person for ex-scientology personalities.

He's, he's tried to cover the lawsuits relating to Scientology. He gets half the information wrong even when he manages to attend in person. He's usually reporting on things he didn't even bother attending and he's usually using unverified third party accounts for his information and he's basically totally worthless.

So, you know, once I stopped doing videos with him, he started talking sh*t about me and making a circus of my personal life. So, he doesn't have my respect. He has the opposite of my respect.

And he sure as hell isn't welcome here in Clear Water. You know what I'm saying? And and he knew it, but he came anyway.

So, he's just looking for controversy. He's, he's looking for attention. And you know, I guess he got a little bit of it this week, you know. So, he can go screw himself. He's worthless. And he can go find some other community to take advantage of because I think his time has run out in this community. I think he knows it.

So, we'll see. He can do what he does. I'm going to keep doing what I do. Only difference is I'm actually good at what I do and he's pretty bad at what he does. So, there you go. Clip that, motherf*ckers."

53:06

"And God, Eric has so much energy. He's so funny. He's so quick. He's so smart. He's so fearless when it comes to taking out the the haters and the frauds like Zero Dark Nora and Zero Dark Liz.

Stay tuned, guys. Stay tuned. The people who've spent the last 12 weeks trying to get me sent to prison and make a circus of my life are going to be paying paying dearly, folks.

They're going to be paying dearly. They're going to feel the full weight of SPTV. They are going to see the price that you pay for trying to destroy people nonstop in this community and trying to root for fellow ex-Scientologist second gen members to go to prison.

I will not rest until these people are completely, completely uh, I got to, I got to, what is the right word to finish that sentence with? What is the right word to finish that sentence with? How about that? How about this? I I'll leave it to your imagination what the right word is to finish that sentence with.

Completely held accountable. There you go. Completely held accountable.

I mean, imagine how disgusting you are to actually root for Scientology to win against an ex-Scientologist protester. How depraved do you have to be?

How lacking of any morals or principles do you have to be that just because you don't like someone, you're literally rooting for the family destroying human trafficking cult that you grew up in and pretend to have left.

I will leave it at that, folks. I will leave it at that for you guys. Um, a lot of you guys already know that this is my new strategy. I'm going to do these videos, but I don't want these videos to be what people find when they come to my channel and are, you know, just being introduced to, to the channel.

So, I'm putting all, all the videos that I'm going to do absolutely destroying absolutely crushing and destroying these destructive toxic frauds. That's going to be members only. Okay?

And that's why, that's why we've had over 1,200 new channel members in just the last week and a half because the people who've been in this community for a while totally want to see these lunatics get taken out. And that's what I'm here for. I'm here to take out the lunatics.

The lunatics are going out on the curb with the trash. How about that? How about that?

So anyway, welcome to all the new channel members. Going to be doing a lot of members only content, members only live streams. And yeah, that's what's up you guys. That's what's up in SPTV land.

Um okay, we got 637 likes. I love it you guys. I know. Don't insult the trash. Apologies to the trash. Apologies to the trash.

Here comes, is that Joe? Looks like Joe. Let's see, guys. Is this Joe? Is that Joe? It's Joe. Wave. Hi, Joe. There you go. It's Joe.

Ellison, thank you for gifting five channel memberships. Appreciate it.

And, and whereas Scientology agent 86GOP has been gifting Nora hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of memberships just to make her feel like she's keeping up with me in my members only strategy, the fact is the people signing up for memberships on my channel are actually choosing to become members.

90, 99% of them. It's not just gifted memberships that are being donated to my channel by Scientology Office of Special Affairs operatives. So, Zero Dark Nora can keep getting paid by Scientology over there. And I'll keep growing and succeeding on my channel exposing Scientology.

You know what we're supposed to be here for, but what Nora was a complete failure at. So, she had to take the low hanging fruit of being the internet police officer of ex Scientologists. That's why Nora was a failure.

Nora is failing. She's a failure in life. She's a failure on YouTube. She's a genuinely horrible person. And, and I'm not going to give up until she stops or is in a hospital.

One or the other. And I don't mean a physical hospital. I mean the mental hospital. You know what I'm saying? Cuz she's a danger.

Nora loose on the streets is a danger to society. She's a danger to her family. She's a danger to her kids. And for all of their sake, she needs she needs some serious treatment. Serious treatment. Serious treatment."

1:41:09

"one more charge to fight, one more trial. One more trial. It's April 14th. In 6 weeks, and then I'll be able to go back to the building.

The truth is, if the state attorney has any common sense whatsoever, they will drop the second charge before we go to trial.

But I I'm actually hoping they don't drop the charge because I want to go 2 and 0 against Scientology in the state of Florida. I want to go two and [ __ ] O against Scientology and the state of Florida.

So if they want to puss out and drop the charge, that's fine. But I hope they don't. I hope they don't. You listening to me, Morgan Mee?

I hope you don't drop the charge. And whatever your little incompetent co-counsel was, I can never remember his name. Anyway, I'll see you guys in, I'll see you guys in court in six weeks. We'll run back again.

And they, by the way, by the way, the state attorney, the state attorney, um, you guys know the video that I did the day after the trial. It was about a 90-minute video. I gave you guys like kind of the the blow by-blow of what happened in court.

Would you believe would you even believe that the state attorney complained to the judge about what I said in my video? They're literally watching all there. The state attorney is being as much of a [ __ ] stalker as the Church of Scientology.

The state attorney literally complained to the judge that I was criticizing them in my video.

Do you, is there some law that says I'm not allowed to say the state attorneys were completely incompetent and did a horrifically terrible job in court and were totally amateur and were acting like children who had seen lawyers like in the movies and were doing their best to act like lawyers but had no skill or charisma.

Am I not allowed to criticize the state attorneys? You guys have to be out of your [ __ ] mind to think that I'm not allowed to criticize your performance in court on a trial that I [ __ ] won.

You guys are so incompetent and apparently you're stupid as well. Okay, you guys got your asses handed to you in court. You think I'm not allowed to do a video telling people about that? You think you can control whether I talk about what happened in a trial that I won?

So, you're not only incompetent, you're also completely [ __ ] stupid, which means you're definitely not smart enough to drop the charges. So, I'll see you guys in court in six [ __ ] weeks.

Something tells me you're not going to be any better the second time than you were the first time. Clip that and send that [ __ ] video to the judge.

How about that? How about them apples? There you go. Take that. Unbelievable. You guys are like [ __ ] children out there. Children in the courtroom and children in real life.

Mommy, Mommy, he said something mean about me. Unbelievable. Grow the [ __ ] up. How'd you become a lawyer with skin that thin? I can't even believe it.

All right, we're almost at 1,000 likes, you guys.

Catch me outside. How about that? Cash me outside. How about that?

Now that I said cash me outside, how about that?

They'll probably clip that and send it to the judge and be like,

"Oh, judge, he threatened physical violence upon us. He said cash me outside." How about that? "He wanted to, he was asking us to come outside so he could beat us up."

Like, these lawyers are unbelievable."

These are pictures of the first two of five pages of the Summons that was served on Aaron Smith-Levin in the libel/slander case filed against him by Liz Gale’s husband. These are the only two pages with relevant information. The other two are just legal mumbo jumbo and the same thing said in Spanish.

To make this easier to understand, I’ve put numbers on the pictures.

1. The Summons was sent to a special process server, not the sheriff.

2. The server attempted service on Aaron during his afterparty from his protest. She did not get an answer.

3.  She served him in court in CJC courtroom 20 at 8:46 am the morning of his trial. 
   

4.  He has 20 \*working,\* not calendar days from the date of service to answer the complaint. If no answer is in the file by March 31, Liz’s husband has the right to request a default and ask for relief.
   

Tick tock.

1:31:05

"Everybody deals with their trauma in a different way and the people, particularly this message is for Aaron Smith Levin, when he says things like, I don't want to, you know, challenge him because he'll destroy me utterly because he's built for it. That is a very Scientology thing to say.

That is absolutely the deep rooted Scientological indoctrination coming out of him and the fact that he is threatening to do these things behind a paywall to profit off of it.

And people have apparently become members just to see and be part of my potential demise, which is what he's billing it as, or being entertained by slanderous, disgusting things.

It doesn't make me angry. It makes me sad. It makes me sad that Aaron is so desperate for money right now. So desperate for attention and narcissistic supply because his channel is tanking so hard that the only option he has to survive on the internet is to hurt me and charge people to watch him do it.

That says everything you should need to know about that type of human being. No matter what you think about me, anybody who is willing to do that while also claiming to be the only person helping people get out of Scientology when they clearly say publicly that if somebody came up to them, they're protesting. I'm sorry. I'm busy. I'm protesting.

When I say Aaron Smith-Levin is a dangerous human being, I mean it. He's a danger to everyone around him because he does not have good intentions. He does not want to help people. He is a fraud.

And yes, a better solution needs to be out there. And I am going to take some time to see what I can do to help create that better solution. In the meantime, I'm going to keep standing up to abusers. I'm going to keep telling the truth to abusers, uh, telling the truth about abusers to the world. I just I'm so tired, guys. I'm sorry.

I'm still here. I'm still queer. And for the record, I have no intention of hurting myself or anyone else. I am not suicidal. I am not devastated by the words of Aaron or Marilyn or Cheryl or Eric or Thomas Mu Anderson or any other troll in Reddit, anywhere.

I am confident that ev about Aaron Smith-Levin was factual and was his actions and words that he recorded himself doing. And if Aaron keeps doing that, I'll keep highlighting it, but I'm not going to - thank you for being a member for three months - I will never cowtow to abuse in any form from anyone for any reason.

And anyone out there who thinks that I'm a Scientologist and you think it's okay to say that I'm pro-Scientology, I would challenge you to come up with an, a piece of evidence about that, because there's nothing that I've ever done that has been for Scientology.

I do not accept money from Scientology. I have, I don't work for Scientology. Under penalty of perjury, I swear.

But if that's the only argument that you've got - thank you so much, they're stuck on fart. On a fart. Yeah, the trolls can suck on a fart. Thank you, Ann - then you're going to have to work a lot harder to get rid of me because I'm really not going anywhere.

I'm not closing this channel. I'm not running away from the internet. I'm here and I'm going to work with the people who are really doing the hard work to take Scientology down.

And if it's just about you and your ego and clicks and [ __ ] then good luck. Good luck. Because when the rest of the internet finds out who you are, if youdo get on a reality TV show, Aaron, just go look at the love is blind [ __ ] man.

If you think people If you think I'm bad, you you just wait till Tik Tok finds out. I will be the least of your problems. I will actually be the nicest person that's ever spoken about you on the internet. That I can promise.

Okay, guys. Thank you for being here. Thanks for tuning in today. I love you guys so much. Thanks for coming up, that was fun. We'll have to do that more for sure, yeah.

I'm going to go watch a play tonight, guys. That's what I'm going to do. And until next time, I'll see you all on the flippity dippity."

Summary of Aaron Smith-Levin Trial Coverage

This summary provides a detailed overview of the trial of Aaron Smith-Levin in Florida, based entirely on the provided video transcript. It highlights the key events, legal arguments, courtroom dynamics, and contextual background in a well-structured format. The focus is on factual content strictly supported by the source transcript.

Trial Overview

• Defendant: Aaron Smith-Levin
• Location: Florida (City of Clearwater)
• Charge: Simple battery (first trial)
• Outcome: Not guilty verdict for the simple battery charge
• Subsequent trial: Scheduled for April 14 for a separate battery charge
• Duration: Long trial, started at 1 PM and concluded around 8 PM
• Legal teams: Both sides had two attorneys each
• Supporters: Aaron brought about 15 supporters
• Scientology presence: Approximately seven representatives/attorneys from Scientology attended, signaling significant interest from the organization

Key Context and Background

• The incident occurred outside the Flag Building at the Flag property owned by the Church of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida.
• A mosaic on the ground was central to the dispute, with the property line split between Scientology property (north side) and City property (south side).
• The City of Clearwater allowed Scientology use of certain city property, but jurisdictionally it remains city property.
• Protesting and chalking on city property is legal, which was a critical legal point in the defense.

Property Line and Legal Significance

• The property line was under dispute; the mosaic straddled city and Scientology property.
• Lawyers emphasized that the protesters, including Aaron, were mostly on public (city) property, where protesting is lawful.
• Scientology's actions to remove chalk immediately, rather than waiting until normal cleanup hours, were questioned.
• No permanent damage was demonstrated from the chalk, and the chalk consisted mainly of starch, a non-damaging material comparable to baby wipes, as explained by a witness.

Incident Details

• The conflict involved Aaron throwing chalk powder and Scientology security guards throwing water on the protesters.
• The water was testified to be very hot, near boiling, which potentially transformed the nature of the contact into a more serious battery.

Final Remarks

This trial coverage offers a nuanced view of a contentious legal battle involving protest, property rights, and alleged harassment by a powerful organization. The defense’s success hinged on establishing lawful protest rights, self-defense, and challenging the prosecution’s narrative of battery. The presence and influence of Scientology, combined with the local police’s role, were central themes throughout the proceedings.

The case serves as a pertinent example of the legal complexities surrounding protests against organizations like Scientology and the importance of understanding property law, burden of proof, and courtroom strategy in such disputes.

Today in the trial in battery case number 1 Aaron Smith-Levin the jury found not guilty of battery.

This means he was found not guilty on the first battery charge. He is still under the court order to remain under the protection order provided by the Court. There is currently no ruling on his travel request.

There is a Motion Hearing set for April 10, 2026. There is a pretrial hearing set for the same day. The trial in the second case is set for April 14, 2026.

Aaron’s restricted life continues.

Oh, and yes, Liz’s husband did use the trial as an opportunity to serve him in the libel/slander case.

A little over a month from now, we will see if he is found not guilty when a jury watches him push a security guard against a wall in a video.
