					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s something kind of ironic and unfair about calling Michael Jackson odd when he NEVER joined Scientology and wasn&#039;t interested in it. One would think that makes him less odd than the people who joined it. But I guess any opportunity to jump on the &#039;Michael Jackson was so weird&#039; bandwagon. He wasn&#039;t weird. He had an incredibly public life and endured fame most of us can never imagine. The tabloids were obsessed with him. Sigh.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I will be ordering! I have read every Scientology book by ever ex-member. I have to say when you were on Panorama with John Sweeney, I hated you, You were so dead-eyed and you could just see the hatred in your whole body, but then you did say you had just gotten out of the hole. I love listening and watching anything you guys do on Scientology and will definitely add your tome to my collection!]]></description>

With an American I’d have thought twice, but I knew an Aussie would be on board with a good dose of snark, it’s in the DNA! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;My days were endless, crammed with keeping track of Scientology’s enemies, conducting programs to neutralize them,.. &lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s more or less known that the Church of Scientology has a lot of files on their parishioners in various sections (Technical-, Personnel-, Ethics- Divisions).

Also OSA has its separate files. It would be interesting to get some info on how the info collection, keeping of records and files are conducted. Not only those of the &#039;SPs&#039;, but also how the records of other people (e.g. city officials and politicians ) are filed and how they are categorized and used to deal with them. E.g., I can imagine that there&#039;s a file on Jennings with info about his likes and weaknesses and his buttons and how to interact with him.]]></description>
