Oh how funny! The first time viewing this I was on a tiny device and completely missed the bottom of the panel… this is my 2nd time viewing the comic strip today and now on the lower part I think I see a tiny head passing by… who could it be? lol.
Yes, Tom Cruise is an actor. What that really means is, he’s a PROFESSIONAL phony and liar, rather than an amateur one. And an uneducated one as well. Why would anyone ask his opinion on anything?
I read someplace that a Tom Cruise presidency was discussed.
A few years ago I read – and I don’t recall where but I definitely read it – that about 10 years ago, a year or so after TC got the Freedom Medal, someone claimed that TC said to Miscavige, “If f***king Arnold (Schwarzenegger) can be governor (of California) then I can be president!” The inference is that the two of them were discussing this.
Also around 10 years ago when I was still very much in, a staff member (not SO) at my org, during a casual discussion we were having about U.S. politics, said that it was a real possibility that at some point Tom Cruise could run for president. I was surprised but pleased and told her I thought this would be marvelous. She nodded sagely and said something about how this was what the world needed, etc.
Now, where this staff member got this idea from, I don’t know, but there is date coincidence between what she said to me and what TC was reported to have stated to DM.
Lawrence, perhaps I should make clear that my once enthusiastic opinion of a possible Tom Cruise presidency has undergone a remarkable 180 degree change ๐
The Way to,Happiness is a scam from start

He gets a cut on printing,distribution, groups and

Makes Trump University look pathetic.
Jose Chung, is that why the booklets cost soooooooo much to buy? It really is exorbitant when you look at the price list, I always thought: it can’t possibly cost that much to print them! – T.J.
David Miscavige makes money off the top at every stage

Hi threefeetback, Thank you your post made my day.Creepily True about Ron.I did not know dm but he seems so in love with himself, he might think he would never need a disguise being such a Big Being.Laughter,Love,Ann.
If you want to be an operating thetan like LRH, save your money – here’s the cognition free of charge: “An individual arrives at the state of full OT when he realizes he is making the whole thing up.”
No matter what job you have, it has to be better than being a $cieno body router. Tom Cruise is the wikipedia definition of a self important idiot who doesn’t know the real history and current state of psychiatry. He is a joke, and will never recover from that theme.
Hi riverscs, Good to meet you.That last panel had me thinking along your line of thought.Cameras cameras all over those empty cold marble buildings,I am sure dm just adores playing spy-valence.His Dad would know….Always,Ann.
When somebody enrolls, consider he or she has been duped for the duration of the universeโnever permit an โopen-mindedโ approach. If theyโre going to think get them declared fast.
After the original Kool Aid Rundown the local media, especially the local CBS affiliate, were hard selling evil cult stories. But one day I met a young lady from the Unification Church and i politely told her that i was an atheist. She then politely thanked me for my time. Right there the burden of whatever induced fear I had about cults just vanished.
The Kool Aid Rundown is essentially the closing act of a cult. This procedure is named for the final event at the People’s Temple colony in Guyana in 1978.
Once again RB, you’ve nailed it!
The hamster wheel of scientology logic goes round and round always spinning, always right and not the least, always stark raving insane with opinion leader and managerial righteousness.
My head is spinning after reading RB! Truly, Rick, the Kool-Aid is very, very, very strong in these creatures. I hate to say it, but, I believe they’re doomed as they can’t find their way out of their own minds. Or, put another way, they’re just plain crazy.
You’re right. They need a road map or better still a naval chart to navigate back but that alas is the hardest trick of all for a scientologist – admitting you’ve lost your way. Every downstat is justified and turned into a win. Under every stone is an SP lurking to get them, MU’s riddle human existence and it’s their job, no matter what the odds to “get the tech in.”
Talk about dig a hole and throw the shovel away… scientology smashed their own compass.
This is very good !!!
It’s always in two’s and when it LOOKS like
one on one there’s hidden microphones or
cameras and microphones recording everything .
the accusations regarding Trimps College seem so familiar….Paying up front; not giving refunds readily; & having “student” write up raving reports!!!! crazy
And once you have signed up for the courses that will reveal the secrets to you, you immediately start getting regged to sign up for more courses that will reveal the real real secrets.
And, Bob, after that they take you into a room, lock the door, and in low tones tell you that NOW you will receive the real scientology, aka the real, real, real, real, real secrets. I think the mystery Sand Witch, I mean sandwich, has gone stale….
HI Rick Mycroft, thanks for the link to that xkcd comic – yep, that’s gotta be Scientology alright. Another laugh for the day, always appreciated. ๐ – T.J.
Rick, that was a hilarious propaganda film! And as over the top as it was, they slaves they call citizens will lap it up. Hmmmmm……sort of like another totalitarian group we know. DM can stand on his peach box and tell the sanity challenged that Scientology has increased 500x in the last week, and of course, the slaves, errr, ahhh, I mean the SO, staff & public, will nod their heads in unison and clap until their hands bleed. Maybe…just maybe, there should be an Idle Morgue in the capital of North Korea. These folks would get together swimmingly! They can even trade stories about the RPF and North Korea’s reeducation camps. And all citizens would be forced to go to scientology.
Wow, RB, just wow. I’m with the blonde woman; what’s Short Wrong doing there, anyway? I keep wanting to see a mashup of Dear Misleader and Donald tRump (Drumpf?) Even as a never-in, I’ve been hanging here long enough to know that a whole lot of Truth is in that last panel… And I wonder if the presence of Dear Misleader’s head is to indicate that he has his spies watching the people he thinks he owns at all times.
I see the Trump analogies flying. Mike, thinking about Leicester in the English Premier league, they keep me thinking about Trump. They’re leading the race, somehow, against all odds, but will they win in the end?
RB, the last panel, ” you’ll never have to worry about knowing what you’re supposed to think” seems to encapsulate the whole show and religion and final outcome of a still-in.

Did not notice the pompadour walking by until the last panel. Hilarious.
Richard says
I loved the sailor talk to the guy in the street! Just ordinary conversation. “I don’t keep an f ing list!” LOL Many laughs and snickers on this one.
Thomas Weeks says
This is totally unrealistic. Do you expect me to believe there are still TWO people in Scientology?
Aquamarine says
“You’ll never have to worry about knowing what you have to think. Our opinion leaders take care of that for you.”
Do they ever.
I got a chill down my spine after reading that.
Thanks so much, RB. You nail it every time.

Lawrence says
Q. If Tom Cruise is so smart and has been around forever, then why doesn’t HE run for President?
A. Because the Church of Scientology already knows he will lose and does not want to tarnish its image.
Guessin’. ๐

And that folks, is Scientology in a nut shell.
Old Surfer Dude says
Hubbard: The original Donald Trump.

I can’t trump that.
