Speaking Out and then Being Attacked - John McLean Interview Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Long before today's protests and SP TV Channels against Scientology, John McLean and his mother Nan McLean began speaking out about the abuses of Scientology in the early 1970s in Canada. For that they were harrassed, attacked and eventually sued by Scientology 15 times. They were at the top of L. Ron Hubbard's and Scientology's enemies list.
John, Nan and their family spoke out on Canadian Television, testified in hearing about Scientology including with the US Internal Revenue Service and before the Clearwater, Florida public hearings on Scientology in the late 1970s.
John McLean joins Mark Fisher and Janis Gillham Grady to continue his interview. This is Part 2 . The Link to Part 1 is below. He will be back for more stories and eventually a Live Q&A with viewers.

Hope to see the three of you again.
Thanks. Next week!! Stay tuned!
This was great. Real information, no infighting. Real history. Real intelligence
Thanks so much Michael
So interesting. Every person has one more piece of historic knowledge.
I am really appreciating learning more about Canadian experiences in Scn.
Fantastic interview John. Glad I watched it.
Sabotaging cars is criminal.
John is so interesting to listen to♥️
So interesting. Thanks for sharing your stories.
Two great sessions with John. His honesty & storytelling is admirable and engaging. Thanks for having John on again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for the story - thanks John and of course Janis, and Mark you guys do great work
Our pleasure!
That craven coward ran away from Morocco leaving Janice and the staff to face God knows what consequences. Despicable.
Excellent point! I had never thought of it that way, but your right!
@@JanisGillhamGrady You could have been thrown into jail for years or worse. You were all expendable. I, for one, am very happy that you survived to record and preserve the history of the reprehensible cult and the monster who created it. It is a cautionary tale.
@@Dianalynne Your right! One of our Moroccan employees actually did go to jail for having worked for us and was only released once he managed to get word to his uncle (who was close to the King).
I agree. That truly proves what a true coward he really was. Janis et al should never have been left with little defence. Thank god that they got away in time, or they could have been in Moroccan jails for a long time. Hubbard didn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. SO SAD.
Our government gave this cult tax exemption...shame
Another insightful interview about the abusive cult of Scientology. Great job!
Can't wait for your 3rd book, Janis! I heard the great review 😊
It's all so surreal. Thanks John for sharing your life.
As a long time never in,always fascinated with cults,I remember watching a very intense long form interview with him his mom,and a few other people I believe on pbs,in the early 80s sometime. It's good to see John and I appreciate him being on and telling his story. Thank you all ❤
Thanks so much. Mom would be proud that what she did made some kind of difference!
@@johnmclean6262 you're very welcome. I'm so glad your on UA-cam telling your story and that of your family and your mom. I remember that interview so well because I remembered your mom in particular. She was very like my own mother so I'm thankful she had such a long beautiful life,and impacted others in such a caring,passionate way.
I remember stumbling on his w5 family show. Enjoy your channel and your guest. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you!
Very interesting interview. Look forward to future conversations. 🇨🇦
Excellent show as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you guys for another great interview!!
Our pleasure!
Thank you John, Mark and Janis. Another great insight into COS. Because of John's endorsement for your book Janis I ordered it!!! Can't wait to read it 🧐 😊
Wonderful!
Even a broken clock is right twice a day and Scientology would not have gained members if there wasn't *something* useful in it, but it wasn't anything new that Hubbard had developed.
On the replay crew. Wow really cannot say it better than pegasus223. Great information. A question for John McLean. If you mentioned it and I missed it, sorry. Who is in the photograph on the wall behind you? Is that a sketch directly behind you? Sorry I’m easily distracted by art.
GREAT VIDEO - THANK YOU!
Enjoying your video ❤
This was so good. Can’t wait for the next installment. Love the history!
Thanks for telling us such an interesting story from a SPTV-Canada perspective. I remember watching him and his family portrayed on a W5 program here on CTV on UA-cam. 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Did they find documentation of loosening the tire in the raid? I’m amazed that wouldn’t have led to a legal charge!
Yes they did, but no one’s name was attached to it. Just the written instructions to do so as I recall. Too bad, I agree. It WAS CRIMINAL.
wow !!!! That organization was so evil from the very beginning. Good to hear the facts from the people involved. Love this series with John. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Mark and Janis. When will both of you come back LIVE??
Hi Vernon, We plan on it in a few days. We have a live set up for Scott and Karry Campbell next week for sure. Thanks for watching.
Does John or his mother have a book on all this?
I don't think so, but I will check with John. Thanks so much for watching!
What was the auditing level of Emil?
And the other people doing the “funeral”. Were any clear or ot?
YES
Wow.
Janis why do you always make excuses for LRHubbard?
Not always as you will see if you watch other videos I have done. One of the main reasons I started this channel was to correct misinformation. If LRH was not there, and I know it for a fact, that is not an excuse.
Not really an explanation Janis??
