SCIENTOLOGY FOR DUMMIES

SCIENTOLOGY EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE BY TOM CRUISE. THIS VIDEO WAS REMOVED FROM GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE, BUT I'VE RE-UPLOADED IT, HAVING DOWNLOADED IT FROM GAWKER

LET'S HOPE IT STAYS HERE. IF SCIENTOLOGY IS THE PANACEA FOR HUMANITY THAT ITS PROPAGANDISTS CLAIM, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THIS SITE ALLOWING ONE OF ITS MOST CELEBRATED ADVOCATES EXPOUNDING ITS BEAUTY AND SIMPLICITY. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE SCIENTOLOGY CAN DRAW FRESH RECRUITS FROM THE SOCIALIST RANKS!

The Guardian recently carried an interesting piece entitled "German historian likens Cruise to Goebbels" and from which I briefly quote:

'The long-standing antagonism between Germany and the Church of Scientology escalated over the weekend when a high-profile historian compared Tom Cruise's performance in a Scientology video with the style of the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. ‘Guido Knopp, who has written a number of books on Hitler and his inner circle, said the video, which surfaced on YouTube last week, "inevitably" recalled Goebbels' speech in a Berlin sports stadium when he asked "Do you want total war?" and the crowd thundered "Yes!"’
