    Default Cults For The Wealthy

    It has been a few years since I paid attention to anything about the most famous cult for the wealthy.

    Former Scientologist, Leah Remini, might love Raymond, but she hates Scientology:

    I do not watch Ms. Remini’s series; so I can only wonder if she included this:

    Germany has barred the makers of a film about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star, Tom Cruise, is a Scientologist.

    Cruise, also one of the film's producers, is a leading member of the Church of Scientology, which the German government does not recognise as a church. Berlin says it masquerades as a religion in order to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject.

    The krauts are confused. Every institution is in the business of making money. The trick is to institutionalize the suckers. Scientology just happens to have a new wrinkle in the same old bunko game.

    Parenthetically, Jerusalem Slim could fall back on carpentry if the religion thing did not pan out. QUESTION: What the hell was this guy going to do if dianetics fell apart?

    L. Ron Hubbard, a former science fiction writer, . . .

    ANSWER: Beam up to the mother ship!



    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer
