[...] The part where Gerard says they (organized scientology)
"advocate total freedom" literately made me gag thinking of
how they are built on such things as disconnection, fair
game, squashing all other opinions, silencing "critics",
penal camps for their own staff, financial destruction of
the many and on and on with literally thousands of examples
exposed all over the internet.
