Malicious Life Podcast: Operation Snow White, Part 1

This narrative recounts the rise of Scientology under L. Ron Hubbard, early legal and regulatory clashes culminating in the FDA’s 1963 raid, and the creation of the Guardian’s Office that led to the “Snow White” program—an extensive campaign of physical infiltration and document theft from U.S. and other government agencies during the 1970s. It follows operatives like Gerald Wolfe (“Silver”) and Michael Meisner as they obtained internal files through after-hours office entries, FOIA circumvention tactics, and covert copying, illustrating how the operation expanded across multiple institutions and countries.
