Going Clear HBO Special

Going Clear HBO Special

-L Ron Hubbard is painted is a very bad light, probably worst he's been in since the movie The Master. They actually dug up a few things I wasn't aware of in his early life in the military. He was released from duty in 1945. He dropped depth charges on phantom enemy subs. He then fired weapons on a Mexican island, thus pissing off the country.

-Dianetics gets a good amount of time in the special. The book is the basis of Scientology, but some people say it contradicts Scientology too.

-Mark Bunker: I was hoping they would give a shout-out to Mark Bunker. They sort of did with the YouTube video interview with Jason Beghe . I still love that YT video. Jason Beghe rips into them in the HBO special too.

-Paul Haggis has get a lot credit for pulling away from the Space Church and ripping into them too. Haggis also notes the anti-gay issues the church has, which is one of the reasons he left the church. Haggis also mentions that he got to see the Xenu papers. Oh, boy was he upset about that.

-Operation Snow White: They touch on it a bit. This was one of the biggest spy operations in history against the US government.

-IRS vs. Space Church: I had no idea this happened. They dug up everything they could on the IRS and the IRS caved in. This was a huge victory for the Space Church.

-Nicole Kidman: They really reveal a lot about the attack against Kidman. They went after her so much that Kidman won't address it almost never. And, her adoptive children will not talk to her. So, sad.

-John Travolta gets a lot of time...being a fool. I could go on with all the staying in the closet stuff.

-That award that Tom Cruise got and the interview.
