Tom Cruise COULDN'T EXPLAIN HIMSELF OUT OF A WET PAPER BAG....

Tom Cruise COULDN'T EXPLAIN HIMSELF OUT OF A WET PAPER BAG, let alone expound the trappings of his "so-called" FALSE and FICTIONAL "religion" scientology, which is in FACT a gobbledygook of LIES and SCIENCE-FICTION slathered in a slapdash manner by its MOUNTEBANK "creator," the third-rate hack pulp author L. Ron Hubbard, who sneeringly remarked that he created scientology as a bet and when it caught on among the deluded fools who ACTUALLY BELIEVED the rot that Hubbard vomited from his rat-trap mouth, he decided to CASH in on the GREAT LIE he created by perpetuating it like the "Grand Poo-Bah" out of a DERANGED Gilbert and Sullivan operetta!!!!! Hell, Hubbard MADE MORE MONEY OUT OF scientology THAN HE EVER DID WITH HIS HACK WRITINGS!!!!! Unlike the MATHEMATICAL LOGIC of Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND fantasies, scientology is "MALICE IN WONDERLAND" with its MIND-CONTROL, COERSION, INTIMIDATION, LAWLESSNESS and BRAINWASHING (many SPIN cycles). scientology therefore took its indoctrination and intimidation techniques from the TOTALITARIAN interrogation and torture techniques of North Korea, Russia and the KGB/secret police, China and its secret police, and the U.S.'s C.I.A. and secret government spook-joints!!!!! Tom Cruise is a splendid example of the spic-and-span cleanly washed mind, a TABULA RASA(Blank State) upon which is written the PERNICIOUS PROPAGANDA scientology is trying to INFILTRATE society with!!!!! They must be stepped on and crushed like the worthless vermin they are, Tom Cruise included!!!!!
