Valkyrie and the Scientologists

No film with Tom Cruise can be separated from his beliefs and his role as Scientologist. Tom Cruise is Scientology's leading man, and this film was made with the knowledge and approval of the Church of Scientology.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBjaWAqeZ2w


Valkyrie is the story of a group of men planning to replace Hitler's elected government in the middle of a war that Germany is already losing.


Tom Cruise (Claus von Stauffenberg) helps the plotters rethink their strategy. The civil defence plan Operation Valkyrie is rewritten so that when Cruise's assassination of Hitler succeeds, the Reserve Army is ready to take over Germany, and replace Hitler with Cruise's new Chancellor.


Tom Cruise places his explosives and leaves as the briefing room, with the Fuhrer inside, blows apart. Operation Valkyrie swings into action. Communications, the Reserve Army, and the Police move in behind as Tom Cruise sets up an alternative government. In what is almost a bloodless coup, most people only want to be on the winning side.


Cruise and his gang act from their deepest beliefs and values. They believe they are right and this makes them dangerous. They do whatever it takes, regardless of their own and others safety and regardless of the truth. They have infiltrated the highest level of German Command, hijacked Operation Valkyrie, the civil defence strategy, and taken over the Reserve Army.


The gang fail because their coup is based on a lie. However much Cruise convinces himself and others that Hitler is dead, the truth is that Hitler is alive, the assassination has failed and the truth is that people are not extraterrestial Thetans.


If the film reflects the extent to which the Church of Scientology has infiltrated democratic governments (Hitler was democratically elected) then this film contains a dark warning.


The Civil Defence in this country is posed to take over Britain "in the event of a terrorist threat". It is organised around the 13 NHS regions with a small but specific budget of 2.2 million per year, per region. As with Valkyrie, the UK Civilian Defence strategy, in conjunction with the Army Medical Services, has been rewritten. Louis Lillywhite, Head of the British Army Medical Services, like Gordon Brown, openly uses phrases such as "Cabinet Command and Control", and "New World Order"


We may have more than a Credit Crunch to worry about.

Building the Famine Walls

As the credit crunch threatens to bite, there is another time in history when another credit crunch left people literally starving - the Irish potato famine of 1847-51.

Ireland exported wheat to England and was described as the most fertile country in the British Empire. The Irish peasant farmers worked for their English absentee landlords producing grain for export, but with only enough land to grow potatoes for themselves. When potato blight destroyed this vulnerable and overfarmed monoculture crop, between one and two million Irish people died of starvation and the diseases of starvation. Meantime, more than enough food for the entire Irish nation was exported to ensure a wealthy English minority enjoyed a modern Western life style.

Not all landlords continue to demand extortionate rents while their tenants farmers starved. Some paid their workforce to build the Famine Walls; to collect stones from the ground and make them into walls that went nowhere and divided nothing.

Yet throughout the Irish troubles, those Landlords who built the Famine Walls have remained safe behind the walls that seemed to be going nowhere. Even today, the land still belongs to them and their descendants.

This might be a lesson for all large companies wondering what to do about falling company profits. Before they think about redundancies, these companies might do well to remember that the strength of the human tribe lies in its diversity. Everyone, from the most Sensitive to the most Robust is part of the whole. Companies contemplating making their staff redundant would do well to remember John Donne's words from 'No man is an Island'

"Send not to know for whom the Bells tolls - it tolls for thee"
