Malicious Life Podcast: Operation Snow White, Part 2

This narrative recounts Scientology’s 1970s Operation Snow White, describing how the Guardian’s Office infiltrated U.S. agencies, bugged an IRS meeting, forged IDs, and stole large volumes of documents; after a library confrontation and persistent investigation by FBI agent Christine Hansen, agent Michael Meisner defected, enabling coordinated FBI raids in 1977 that seized about 100,000 documents and led to prosecutions of key officials, the disbanding of the Guardians Office (rebranded as the Office of Special Affairs), and the consolidation of leadership under David Miscavige.
