In Florida, a city can use eminent domain but the seized property has to be used for the city&#039;s public use such as building a needed parking structure or library.  You can&#039;t take the property and give it to a developer for to create a shopping mall or condos.  You also need to pay market value for the property you seize and face the lawsuits that Scientology would bring against the city.

Clearwater doesn&#039;t have the money to seize all the property Scientology has amassed and no justifiable use even if they could seize them all.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hubbard sabotaged Scientology with the taboo words:   XENU and BODY-THETANS

The Scientologists can&#039;t define and tie in Xenu and body-thetans to their spiritual beliefs, publicly.   It&#039;s taboo, and laughingly nothing detrimental has ever happened, as Hubbard falsely claimed it would, when Xenu theory and body-thetans spiritual theory is simply neutrally even laid out!

Xenu supposedly is the space nasty bad guy leader who mass murdered billions of humanoids, had those dead humanoids&#039; souls implanted with the &quot;R6 implants&quot; and then these bodiless souls, &quot;body-thetans&quot; pronounced BODY THAY TONS) left to roam earth so that today all humans on earth are unknowingly infested with these &quot;R6 implanted body-thetans (souls)&quot;.

Scientology&#039;s &quot;second phrase&quot; is the secret exorcism/soul freeing done to remove the body-thetans off of our human body, using the Hubbard Scientology OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism/soul-freeing steps.

The public needs to know this, and Hubbard left Scientology this problem that disallows Scientology even speak or write about Xenu and the body-thetans problem humanity supposedly suffers from, nor will Scientology admit that the &quot;solution&quot; is the OT levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 where the body-thetans are supposedly exorcised/freed off our human bodies, using the Hubbard Proton Pack/Emeter.  

Hubbard&#039;s regulations are the prison rules keeping Scientologists in line.

The outside world is the only free place where discussion of the details of Hubbard&#039;s self created problems for Scientology&#039;s operation can freely fully happen. 

Miscavige is a niche idiot &quot;top&quot; banana in this Hubbard prison of belief (and they can&#039;t even discuss Xenu and body-thetans and thus can&#039;t admit they do the OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism/soul freeing).

This isn’t bribery.  It’s helplessness.  The city doesn’t know about private sales of property beforehand and couldn’t stop them even if they did.  

Now more than ever, Clearwater is at the mercy of Scientology.  There is one non-Scientologist property owner in downtown.  She owns one side of the 500 block of Cleveland Street and plans to keep that property in the hands of her family.  

There is a growing business called Nash Keys, a dueling piano bar.  The man behind that has spent $2 million dollars to fix up all the properties this woman owns with the hope of recruiting businesses to them.  He’s put a lot on the line and I wish him well.

If Mike and Leah want to open a business downtown, these would be the only possible locations.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just got a wonderfully wicked idea.

A letter goes out to the Texas, Arizona, Florida,and New York governors and the mayors of all the border towns in the first two states, from the Church of Scientology, offering their properties as sanctuary accommo for ALL of the migrants pouring in...

&quot;Come to us.  Send these people to us, please!    Our church owns a VAST amount of real estate that is literally sitting EMPTY here in Clearwater!    We want to help!  Send these people to us!  Don&#039;t put them on a bus to New York City and Chicago - send them HERE!  We&#039;ll meet them at the bus station!   They shouldn&#039;t have to live in shelters and makeshift gymnasiums - we have empty apartment buildings - lots of them, and  empty office space too, that can easily be converted into temporary shelter for the migrants fleeing suppression in their own countries.  We WANT them here - NOW!  Send these people to Us in Clearwater, Florida, the First Scientology City!&quot;  
Much love, David Miscavige.

I mean, can you just IMAGINE?????  LOLOL!

Oh, and I forgot San Francisco.  Definitely send that letter to the mayor of SF, and to Newsome too, why not?  

Too funny, right?

Meamwhile, I live in a sanctuary city and I am fiercely proud of how these people are being taken in, fed, housed, clothed and given a chance to work their tails off in this country at jobs Americans won&#039;t do, in order  to have some kind of life here in America, when they have absolutely no chance of any life at all in their own countries.]]></description>

Lets hope that Mr. Agami grows less than thrilled with his new purchase which has to be tantamount to lighting a match to 58 million dollars.  If he does actually manage to attract any businesses he&#039;ll have to clear every rental with Miscavige first. 

On a far smaller scale, I know some Still Ins who bought condos near Flag to stay in when they&#039;re getting audited; they live elsewhere.  But when they&#039;re NOT at Flag  and their apartments are sitting empty, these owners  are forbidden to rent them on a temp basis  to OTHER Scientologists (their perfect public for rentals) coming to Flag who  need a place to stay for a week or two or longer.   Why?  Because that would take business away from the FH!  

Think of that for a minute. Take a minute to process this.

FORBIDDEN by their CHURCH to rent out their OWN property - absolutely forbidden!

 Welcome to the First Scientology City, everyone!   Where your real estate is yours, in name only!  And David Miscavige decides what you can or cannot do with it.  Hip  hip hooray!]]></description>
