   Kirstie Alley has just launched Organic Liaison, which offers a weight loss product meant to make dieting “fun”

The other day, “Fat Actress” Kirstie Alley announced that, finally, she was able to come out with her own weight loss product, as she had announced she would a few years back. It’s a well-known fact that the star, once a Jenny Craig spokesperson, wanted to come out with her own solution to tackle the problem of the extra pounds and she’s now able to offer just that – though it’s highly likely she’s doing so with the help of Scientology, RantRave says.

As per the e-zine, Organic Liaison, the company that Alley just unveiled and which offers the weight loss treatment that is made up of formulas with names like Rescue Me and Relieve Me, is connected to Scientology, for which reason it has already attracted the attention of Anonymous. Anonymous, for those not in the know, is a group of anti-Scientology protesters who have made no secret of embarking on a mission to bring to light the goings-on within the (in)famous religious cult.

“Two years ago, Kirstie Alley quit Jenny Craig's weight loss program and promised she was going to dream up her own way of losing extra pounds. Fast forward to this week: today, Kirstie Alley went on Oprah to unveil ‘Organic Liaison,’ her new organic weight loss program. The site (http://www.organicliaison.com) promises an ‘innovative way of liaising people from conventional eating habits.’ Meaning eat less, and drink our products! Organic Liaison is based on a system of dietary supplements, natural products, and a system of online support. Somehow, Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison is supposed to make losing weight ‘fun’,” RantRave says of the newly released company and product.

“I was skeptical, so after a few Google searches, I found out that ‘Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison’ has attracted the attention of Anonymous – those guys who hate Scientology. It looks like they've pulled together a lot of information about Kirstie Alley and her weight loss program. They say that the costs of Organic Liaison (a membership fee and supplements) would go to fund Scientology. Hmm… The Kirstie Alley Organic Liaison site promises that it's approved by the USDA, which is good, but I don't know. It seems expensive. Organic Liaison starts with a ‘Rescue Kit,’ which costs $139, then a monthly membership of $10 or an annual membership of $89. Plus the whole weight loss program is based on organic food, which is NOT cheap,” the same e-zine goes on to say.

As it happens, this is not the only online publication to claim that money wannabe slimmers pay to Organic Liaison go directly to Scientology, thus to an organization they may not support in any way – quite on the contrary actually. The fact that Mrs. Alley herself has been on the program for just a few months and has lost only 20 pounds so far (which is to say she can offer very little guarantee it works) would also seem to indicate this is a front for something else, it is also being said.
