					<description><![CDATA[Watch this short video here. Anyone who has ever attended a scientology event featuring David Miscavige will find these short videos eerily familiar. The blind, over-the-top adulation. The fear of being identified as someone who is not enthusiastic enough in their praise for the Dear Leader. In N. Korea this might result in being sent [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; On a number of previous occasions I have commented on the parallels between the scientology world and North Korea. From empty showcase buildings to the unwarranted adulation of their current leader Kim Jong-un to the bizarre stories of the life and accomplishments of the Godlike founder of the DPRK, Kim Il-sung. But this BBC News story came across [&#8230;]]]></description>

They dangle these little items in front of the sheeple with as much tact as The Publisher&#8217;s Clearing House. Here is the latest offering &#8212; [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An eagle eyed Special correspondent sent me this Daily Mail story which could be about scientology. I have excerpted some of it below, there are more photos at the Daily Mail site. Apparently the North Koreans are envious of the scientology &#8220;ideal buildings&#8221; strategy for placating the sheeple with photos of empty facilities, all set up [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jeff Hawkins sent me this article. I thought it was of interest as yet another comparison between North Korea and the bubble world of corporate scientology. There are many parallels, from the control of information to the worship of Dear Leader and from the ridiculous event spectacles to the gulags where dissidents are reformed. But [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have often made comparisons between the cult of the RCS and North Korea. I have been reading John Sweeney&#8217;s excellent book North Korea Undercover (this is a link to order the book on Amazon, I recommend it as an informative and enjoyable read filled with typical Sweeney wit).  The parallels that come to mind [&#8230;]]]></description>
