I have this to say about that, I used to wonder what Cruise's problem was, but now I know. Also, in other Scientology news, they basically got thrown out of Germany. Most Interesting. Turns out they were accused of breaking into offices and all kind of Other Stuff.
Now, you gotta remember that there were two Scientologists that were prominently involved in apocalyptic disaster movies, and then there was MI:2 and all that, John Travolta(Swordfish) and Tom Cruise(War Of The Worlds).
In that context, is it any surprise that there's people in the middle east that want to buy into Warner Brothers? And, didn't they just do some movie about chaos in the middle east, oh, and don't forget Syriana. The experts say there's no such thing as an accident, and I'm inclined to agree...is there an Ulterior Motive behind Hollywood's creations? It's possible...the timing on the writer's strike was sure interesting...it's all done with mirrors, and green-screens, and cameras, crafty actors, and a Lot Of Money. Hey, let's lead the public around by the nose...the art of speaking without actually saying anything...double entends,
what-ifs, but MY question of the Hubbardians there is WHY, if they're all whiz-bang smart and all that, WHY haven't they just gotten about 400 kinds of stupid with the green-tech? If you're loaded, and people know you by face/name halfway around the world, well, hey, that'd be a great way to transmit a message to Citizens Of Earth, which every year looks like it's getting closer and closer to being Battlefield Earth, minus aliens. Well, we've got illegal aliens, but it's not quite the same, no flying saucers and laser beams...which brings us back to All That Money. They can make MOVIES about flying saucers, but why not pass the hat around to all the deep-pockets peeps there and chip in with Branson and put a Denny's on the moon, or something? Since we're well into tinfoil-hat land, here, go whole hog. Space, the final frontier, and all that. Maybe Shatner could get a job as spokesman for SpaceShip One enterprises, or something...practical low-cost passenger and cargo service to low earth orbit.
Parabolic freight service, and so forth. See if Hawai'i will rent you some time on that volcano for some power generation...NASA's working that scramjet thing...gather all the eggheads in one room, hand out coffee, donuts, slide rules, and drawing paper, see what they can develop. Build a company with that as its' intended goal. Don't just go halfway...

I think it's really cool that there's some people with the moxy to get out there and challenge 'the official story'.
The true greatness of the United States is not that you can play your cards right, live in a multi-million-dollar home, drive an overpriced armored hoopty, and permanently graft your lips to the backside of the 'defense' industry, but rather that you are completely free to question any presumed authority and participate in open debate. The day that changes, we can call ourselves english-speaking China. Some of the comments above really ran these kids down, and I'm not trying to insult anyones' relatives, but you have to admit that this millenium and century sort of opened with a 'bang', and that there were some Bad Actors of various stripe involved in 9/11. I fully support any and all efforts to get to the bottom of it all, even at the risk of appearing disloyal or whatever. There was a concept called 'the loyal opposition', at one point, and if the 'official story' has that characteristic smell that we all know and love, then people should strongly encourage a more Holmesian approach to the whole business, and leave the questions hanging out there until answered to the full satisfaction of ALL the People. Something bad happened that day, I was at work that day and they had a television going when I walked in the door, and everybody just kind of stood there like stunned for a really long time. Any way you look at the events of 9/11, our country was permanently changed, and as a result of it, a lot of policy has been signed into law that's pretty questionable and rivals erstwhile East Germany in its' scale and scope. My view is that there IS a reasonable doubt to be explored here. So yeah, kudos to those independent and brave enough to keep asking Those Questions and not going along with the herd. I'm not sure what good it'll do, long-term, but it's a recognizable exercise of free speech on a controversial topic, so 'well done'.
