					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The Top? Wonder what the Freewinds thinks about that? They&#8217;re pretty much forgotten in the scientology world. You gotta love the “brilliant” describing the  run-around-a-pole rundown&#8230; It is quite brilliant I guess making people pay to have you tell them to run in circles. &#160; They just found number 8? It&#8217;s definitely &#8220;coveted&#8221; &#8212; [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The always on-the-ball Tracey McManus has filed a new story about downtown Clearwater, the City Council and scientology. It would appear that the recently elected city officials have had a bit of a wake up call. The conciliatory language they were spouting a few months ago when they were trying to get elected about how [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bruce Rector has assumed the position of mayor of Clearwater. He is off to an inglorious start. As a prominent scientologist buys the building that houses the City of Clearwater&#8217;s government offices, Rector is &#8220;hopeful the city&#8217;s relationship with the church improves, so they can work together to revitalize downtown.&#8221; I guess he hasn&#8217;t been [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Long term, prominent Clearwater scientologist Ray Cassano is pitching the sale of Emily&#8217;s restaurant. It&#8217;s been there for decades. It has direct line of sight to the Ft Harrison and SP Building. Obviously a smart move to promote this to scientologists. It&#8217;s desirable because of it&#8217;s location &#8212; even if it&#8217;s bought and sits empty [&#8230;]]]></description>

Just days after Mark Bunker was replaced on the city council, scientology&#8217;s latest, and largest single land-grab in downtown Clearwater was announced. The most prominent office building in downtown, current home to the Clearwater City Council, was purchased by Moises Agami, prominent scientologist. He now becomes the landlord for both the [&#8230;]]]></description>

He is the only real accountability scientology faces from any government official or agency in Clearwater. They intend to make Clearwater the &#8220;first scientology city&#8221; on earth.

I have some other points to note about this incident. The response from official scientology spokesman Ben Shaw is remarkable but unsurprising. In a statement to the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Peter Byrne thinks his photo proves that downtown Clearwater is NOT a &#8220;wasteland.&#8221; The only people in this photo are 3 Sea Org members on the sidewalk and 4 cars on the road.
