At first, Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church only showed up at Gay Pride Parades with the message, "GOD HATES FAGS." They have since expanded their operations to include the funerals of AIDs patients, and more recently, military funerals.

Comes now Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a Scientology front group dedicated to "eradicating psychiatry" and all other forms of mental health assistance. This week following a murder at a high school near Boston, CCHR seems to have taken a page out of Fred Phelps' play book.

This is deep. Really, really deep. Down at the bottom of a bottomless pit deep, that's how deep the connection between the New Life Center of San Francisco and Scientology are buried.

The last issue of the Wall Street Journal has a story about Scientology's front group, Second Chance, which has successfully insinuated itself into the gravy train line for public funding. Second Chance is another cookie-cutter front group that "isn't associated with Scientology," except that it uses the same courses, the same Purification Rundown, and the administrators all "happen" to be Scientologists.

Currently, inmates are being sent to the Second Chance facility by ignorant judges who know nothing of the health hazards and potential for lawsuits from inmates whose livers have been destroyed by overdoses of vitamins.

Many people in this valley suffer from serious respiratory ailments due to the rampant pollution in the region. Listed as investors in these companies, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

It happens all too often. A family member gets in trouble with drugs. Concerned relatives or friends begin looking for a good rehab program. A web search results in hundreds of websites, all from the same source, Narconon. Some may associate the name with a 12 step program, like Alanon. One might also think that, with so many websites, these people really must know what they are doing. Who would ever suspect this to be a recruitment branch of the "church" of Scientology?

A peek under the Scientology ecclesiastical robes. What's really happening when you quit gawking at the diversions provided by Tom Cruise and Scientology's various front groups.

In which Scientology takes over an entire town in Florida.

Now that the holiday season has been relegated to the memory bin, I've had more time to read from the Internet Buffet. Christianists are demanding more than their share of most people's favorite time of year.
