Don't Move! Big Brother Tom Is Watching...

Man, Scientology is becoming quite the scary monster in the closet these days! Some say it's there, others say it's not... And for the record, the "closet" part was indeed a joke aimed at all the gay rumors that have plagued Scientology's poster-boy and chief mascot Tom Cruise for years, and were always invariably "proven" wrong. As for the "scary" part, it's talk of the day on the Internet, and many entertainment columnists covering the topic report having received threats from the Sci-Fi cult that calls itself a "church", effectively warning them to refrain from doing any negative coverage of the cult's business.

The fact is, these people – the Scientologists, I mean – have enough money to pretty much do whatever they please. I'm no conspiracy theorist – I'm sure there are plenty of those among you who may think that a cat-and-mouse game with these fellows would be nice and harmless – and I'm still sort of freaked out by some of the things I've been reading about some of them. And yes, I know the media would blow many stories out of proportion for a quick buck – but not THAT many stories and definitely not THAT much out of proportion.

And now, a new video reportedly hit the Internet only to be removed half an hour later. It featured Cruise talking about how Scientology is basically the answer to all our problems and how they hold the secret to pretty much every important thing in this life. I have no idea why the footage was removed – my guess is, someone out there thought it could be used to support some of the claims made by Andrew Morton, the British author who wrote an unauthorized and highly controversial autobiography of Tom Cruise, the man he claims is second in command in the Scientology hierarchy on global level. The video was taken down, as I was saying, but before that someone had the inspiration to write a transcript of some of the things Tom Cruise was saying. I'll refrain from making any comments, although, boy, do I have about a million things to say swirling around in my mind just about now. Read and make up your own minds.

"When you’re a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one who can really help. We are the authorities on getting people off drugs. We are the authorities on the mind…. We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures. Now is the time. Being a Scientologist. People are turning to you. If you are a Scientologist, you see things the way they are, in all their glory, in all their complexity… It’s rough and tumble. It’s wild and woolly. It’s a blast. It really is. It is fun. Because damn it, there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight, and suddenly you see — boom! — things are better. I want to know that I’ve done everything I can do, every day… I do what I can. And I do it the way I do everything". Yes. It scared me, too. Well, stay tuned for more news.
