    Sarah Palin is seeking the advice of a Scientologist as she plots her 2012 presidential run, which just makes sense to us. John P. Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer and power-broker, is secretly running Palin's political action committee and working to "protect the Palin brand," according to the Washington Post. He is very, very good at doing that because he can walk through walls and read minds and leave his body and never gets sick because he is a Scientologist.
    Coale is also the husband of Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, whom he recruited into the church. Van Susteren's penetration of the Palin clan is total—she's been in Alaska practically every other week burnishing Palin's image in friendly profiles. The church's recruitment strategy has always been to snag high-profile converts like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and it is well known for dispatching operatives on elaborate covert schemes to draw unsuspecting targets into the cocoon.
    Coale is no Scientology slouch; according to a web site that tracks public announcements of Scientology course completions, he appears to have reached OT-VII, the cult's second most powerful level. His most recent training, in 2005, was in how to "detect and handle suppressive persons"—that means you, Todd!


    On the other hand, Alaskans don't have a great history with L. Ron Hubbard—in 1940, he reportedly decamped to Ketchican on a "radio-experimental expedition," got a loan from a local bank, and split town.
    Palin, with her wild-eyed confidence and preposterously healthy skin, already seems vaguely Scientological; "Keep Scientology Working!" isn't a bad rejoinder to "Yes We Can," right?

    Didn't they try to associate Governor Palin with another extreme religous sect during the campaign, as well?

    Hey, John Travolta is a damn good actor. This guy could be a damn good "lawyer and power broker," whatever that means.

    Yes, cult research happens to be one of my fields of interest. I don't think I've ever come across an actual live Scientologist.

    I do recall seeing their literature placed in doctor's offices around here, though. I think it is rather insulting -- you're in a doctor's office, perhaps for something serious like cancer or pneumonia, and this group's literature is telling you that your suffering is imaginary, or a result of improper thinking.

    But ... what an amazing, excellent, important, relevant scoop, Fail guy. Congratulations!

    Don't bother chasing after a real scientologist, they will just spew their mantra of "Scientology works and it helps people."

    however, if you want to help...

    Hmm. I would stop short of saying that all (modern) liberalism is a cult. Perhaps certain flavors of it -- the Obama Cult, maybe the Clintonistas -- but not all. What it is, is a worldview that seeks to destroy, or at least change significantly, our social, political, moral, and economic ins utions, as I'm sure you know.

    Oh, I know full well about these people. I know people at Watchman Fellowship (www.watchman.org) and at the seminary who specialize in it.

    My specialty is flipping Jehovah's Witnesses. In fact, one JW with whom I was working renounced the Society just this week and is now a Christian.

    But, back to Palin ... I am sure there will be an ethics complaint about her alleged association.

    With a good 90%+ lies about Sarah Palin, are we expected to believe this? Attacks against her are no longer credible, at all!

    Totally. I'm open to legitimate criticism of her from the Right. And I'm not saying she should be our candidate in 2012. But this trashing of her has got to stop. And you would think the Left would LOVE a strong, independent woman like her.

    I have met a couple of ex-Scientologists, and what they tell me is the church tries to make them confess every skeleton in their closet as early as possible so they can blackmail them. Hence, you never see any rich or famous Scientologists ever leave the church. They always pull people who are down on their luck, at their weakest, and willing to spill their guts.

    They are indeed a virulent cult. If someone I knew joined them, I would get in touch with someone who does interventions.

    Steve Hassan wrote a book on this, "Combatting Cult Mind Control." It's on my shelf. An excellent resource. I wouldn't do an intervention on a Jehovah's Witness, unless they JUST joined, but there are a couple of good techniques to use on them.

    I still don't see what this has to do with Sarah the Arctic Fox. Did this Scientologist ever try to kill U.S. soldiers?

    You're right.

    The party that nominates Ms. Palin as a VP and perhaps for the top spot in the US is clearly less dangerous than them damn liberals.

    And yes, I'm aware that McCain nominated her. They still pushed her. They could have decided not to play the partisan game and said, "no thanks". Instead they treated the Palin nomination like it's a Godsend, something that was an incredibly intelligent decision, instead of an idiotic, high-school drama act of posturing and hype.

    So if 90%+ of criticisms/lies are level against a politician then any attacks are no longer credible?

    Defending Sarah Palin?

    You're such a partisan hack. If she was a Dem you'd be ripping her like there's no tomorrow.

    There's more, which is what concerns me.

    In 1986 the Church of Scientology, wanting to get involved in Political Action Committees but knowing they couldn't do that while pretending to be a religion/church, held seminars for scientologists to teach them about the US government, PACs, and how to develop and use contacts in the government to make scientology more amenable to the US government and for scientology to gain more power over the government.

    The Church of Scientology wrote "We have been advised by legislative consultants, by allies who are experienced with the government and Congress and even by congressmen themselves that the only viable way to get the attention, assistance or support of politicians is to be in a position to deliver to them either (or both) of their most sought after needs - MONEY and VOTES."

    John Coale & John Stanard were the main participants. A seminar and fund raiser was held in January 1986 at the Ft Harrison Hotel in Clearwater Florida, the location of the Church of Scientology's most advanced church at the time.

    The Church of Scientology to this day initiates and controls PACs. This was probably one of the earlier ones and the do ents are very revealing.

    That's because they know that the other Scientologists would eat them.
