Just How Straight Up Bonkers Is Tom Cruise - Parts II and III!

Fresh from the atomic volcano, here's another shock dose of stark raving Scientology from Xenu's most precious creation.  (Click here for Part I)

In this clip, we learn about one of Scientologists' lesser known powers - the ability to detect the level of dangerous particulate matter in the air by snapping their fingers.

"Why ask permission?  We are the authorities."

And finally, the exciting conclusion, in which TCM, COB, and hundreds of jubilant indoctrinees communicate with LRH... beyond the grave!

This is all good fun, insofar as it's an opportunity to see what happens behind closed doors, when Scientologists stop being polite... and start getting bat$#!& crazy.

But what's actually pretty disgusting about Part II (the clip at the top of this post) is that Cruise's 9/11 project, presented as some great act of humanity, appears to be little more than a recruiting center.  At the heart of the truly fantastic Scientology canard is the belief that all the physical and psychological ills of mankind trace back to impurities (magical, alien impurities!) in one's body, that need to be expelled not through "actual" medical treatment, but by paying enough money and enduring enough brainwashing sessions as to acquire a fuller understanding of L. Ron's clumsy science fiction writing.

Given that expelling toxins is their whole jag, what better hunting ground for new recruits than among the genuinely heroic (and in many cases ailing) rescue workers at Ground Zero?

If you pause the clip at about 1:30, you'll see the name of the organization that Cruise helped set up is the "New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project."  And what might you guess goes on there?

A Unique Program

Only one method for reducing body levels of toxic chemicals has been widely implemented, studied and demonstrated to be safe and effective: the detoxification program developed by L. Ron Hubbard.

Trolling for lucrative new brainwashing candidates among the WTC emergency workers, as the rubble still smoldered under foot.  Monstrous.

The center claims that they "provide program services at no cost."  And they may.  But I would swear, sight unseen, on a stack of Dianetics first editions, that there are E-meters in that building and that the staff is only too delighted to go ahead and sign you up for your first audit.

Truly ghastly.
