					<description><![CDATA[Remember the recent post (Hurricane Milton) where Lorianne Isaacson said there would be 6000 people sheltering in the Ft Harrison for the hurricane. It was ridiculous. Now the reality of the &#8220;6000&#8221; is laid bare. The idea that scientology is large and expanding, even in Clearwater, where they have been circling the wagons for years, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; This month&#8217;s edition of Tampa Bay is evidence of how hard scientology is still working to &#8220;safepoint&#8221; the Clearwater community. There is a concurrently published YouTube video on this subject: Tampa Bay magazine is typical of this sort of publication you find in many major cities &#8212; it&#8217;s glossy pages feature full page ads for [&#8230;]]]></description>

This flier is pretty bizarre. They have taken an old flier from a hurricane relief drive and repurposed it for their &#8220;Pandemic&#8221; [&#8230;]]]></description>

That is more than 6 years ago. And they were &#8220;targeting&#8221; to to be at 7000 by the end of 2014&#8230; Not even close. In those 6+ years, [&#8230;]]]></description>

This first one was obviously from a week or so ago. I found it especially interesting they brought in someone from Italy on the basis they are &#8220;booming&#8221; and [&#8230;]]]></description>

But I had more thoughts on it that she was unable to include. I also have a copy of Chief Slaughter&#8217;s publicly available report. First, this comes as a relief to me.

It now begs the question: What about the flagrant violations of scientology? Will the Pinellas County Sheriff&#8217;s Office (@SheriffPinellas on twitter) or the Clearwater Police Department (@MyClearwaterPD) do anything?
