Scientology Offices are Creepy as Fuck.

A work of fiction..  is a religion.. is a corporation.. is a politician. Etc.

Corporations can now make donations to election candidates, they're legally considered a "person", and they're taking over the fucking world. Just take a look: half of the top twenty of Forbes' list of The World's Most Powerful People work for corporations. Nine are government officials. One is the pope. A wise man once said, "cash rules everything around me; dolla dolla bill yo." I have never agreed more.

In the 19th century, a "religious" group like the Scientologists wouldn't have a prayer. Nowadays, it's essentially a constitutionally protected corporation with non-profit religion status. Membership in the Scientologist church has dropped 50% in the last ten years and churches are closing. Yet a church of millionaires, billionaires, and celebrities will never die. Too many connections, too much money, too many naive people that need a friend, be it Jesus or Xenu, the alien who put your human soul into a volcano millenia ago. Too bad most of them will never be able to afford the $277,010 fee to become enlightened.

Live and let live. Is something that's hard for me to say. Especially when dissenters are blacklisted from their networks, bankrupted, and lose all of their belongings and their livlihoods. If they don't disappear.

Speaking of which. IF I DISAPPEAR, YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS UP.

The Church of Scientology is no longer accelerating and momentum is sputtering. The only reliable stream of new membership they can count on is the fertility of their faithful. But! These creeps, punch-drunk from ridding their bodies of extraterrestrial negative energy will never, ever shut down. Think of Scientologists like Fox News. And Tom Cruise, like Rupert Murdoch, if you will. No matter how much disrepute it draws, there will always be ignorance, short-sightedness, and denial.

Here are a couple of images from the offices of the Scientologist Church. On a scale of one to ten, how Eyes Wide Shut is this?*

What the fuck? I mean, what is UP with all the symbolism on the wall? It looks like a modernized tomb with heiroglyphs on the wall. Eeeeep!

What I really want to find are photos of where this great "enlightenment" happens. It's a cruise ship called Freewinds. My opinion? Crazy shit goes down that can only take place in international waters. Either that, or it's a graduation from their underground complexes, which must be for the underlings. I can't find any photos of the inside, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it looks something like this:

*Eh? Eh? Get it? I think this movie saved Nicole Kidman.
