					<description><![CDATA[Mike, I read your book this weekend - couldn&#039;t put it down! Next I&#039;m going to get a few of the other books on your recommended list. I watched the entire Aftermath series and look forward to any further shows that might provide an update on what&#039;s currently happening in the &quot;church.&quot; I do have a question; is there a plan in place for when Miscavige sheds his body and follows LRH into space? Is there an &quot;heir apparent&quot; that is next in line to take over?  Best wishes to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for the work you do.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/media-update-a-billion-years/#comment-502189&quot;&gt;Richard W. Farnsworth&lt;/a&gt;.

There is absolutely no reliable main stream media source stating that Cruise is donating anything from Top Gun to $ci.  In the Hypebeast link there is nothing in the main article stating he’s donating anything to $ci.  It is only in the comment section where some random anonymous commenter said he was donating 50mil to $ci.  Clickbait.  I did a google search and found nothing except the same Hypebeast article which shows up because of the comment.

The biggest donators to $ci are Bob Duggan and ex-wife Trish Duggan.  The Duggans made a foundation and piled it full of AbbVie stock just so it could make money for $ci yearly.  Miscavige though likes his money quick it seems so they sold the stock to the tune of around $48mil and handed it over.  That’s just one donation.  You can read about it here: 

https://tonyortega.org/2019/10/18/duggans-abandon-scheme-give-48-8-million-in-abbvie-stock-directly-to-scientology/

Trish Duggan has donated so much she has a ‘status’ made up just for her.  Her ex Bob has stated openly that he has donated hundreds of millions.  

Scientology doesn’t necessarily want money from Cruise (although I’m sure they wouldn’t turn any down).  Cruise makes money for $ci by just being Cruise.  His name alone used to bring people in off of the street.  I guess they are those ‘Curious’ people Miscavige talks about.  $ci wants Cruise to be happy.  That way he presents a good face for Scientology and that alone brings people in…or it used to.  Now that there’s shows like ‘Aftermath’ and blogs like Mikes and Ortega’s most people can easily find info about Scientology on the net and avoid it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think two of the best comments explaining the reasons why it&#039;s important to let people know the truth about Tom Cruise were made by Leah Remini and Claire Hedley and they can be found at the following link:  www.indy100.com/celebrities/tom-cruise-scientology-leah-remini

This link attributes the following statements to Leah Remini:   

&quot;she also alleged that Cruise is “very aware of the abuses that go on in Scientology” and alleged, “he&#039;s been part of it”.

Within the post, she called Cruise’s actions “crimes against humanity”.

This link attributes the following statements to Claire Hedley:

&quot;Glad all you Top Gun fans are enjoying the movie.&quot;

&quot;Personally, recent posts about this new movie only serve to remind me of Tom Cruise and his crimes against humanity.&quot;

&quot;Extreme, you may think?&quot;

&quot;Destroying families is a crime against humanity. My Opinion&quot;

I have had to excerpt portions of this link because for some reason I cannot copy and paste her entire comments. If anyone questions whether these two ladies actually said this, please visit the link at the to of this post.&quot;

IMHO, it is very important for anyone who opposes this cult to speak out against Tom Cruise because he does not deserve a pass for supporting this cult. He knows full well all of the human rights abuses that are committed by this cult and he currently may very well be the single largest financial contributor to this cult.]]></description>

Richard, I apologize if I offended you. I understand where you are coming from and the intention behind your post. The only thing I object to is sniping at Mike Rinder in any way. As for Tom Cruise movies, I understand if people want to boycott these because of his Scientology connection. I am not sure how effective a boycott is. 1.4 billion people saw the movie, so a few dozen anti-Scientologists may not make that much of a difference. In addition, there are thousands of people involved in a film like that — just look at the end credits. Those people have nothing to do with Scientology. I prefer to go directly after Scientology, and destroy their public repute and word of mouth so their public inflow is cut off — and much progress has been made in that direction. No hard feelings I hope — I am sure your heart is in the right place.]]></description>
