					<description><![CDATA[Scientology advertises every event as &#8220;epic,&#8221; &#8220;monumental&#8221; etc etc and every one of them is something nobody can afford to miss. But this one stands out. &#8220;In support of the Gothenburg ideal org&#8221; it promises to be memorable if only for the choice of title. It is also interesting as there is not a peep [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; This article recently appeared in local Florida media  It states the following: A political committee linked to Gov. Ron DeSantis raised more than $1.11 million from Aug. 24 to 30, and the bulk of it came from one local Scientologist megadonor.

This is not a diagnosis, but rather a description of conflict [&#8230;]]]></description>
