The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress

It’s a creepy monologue.

I watched it last night. It’s still ringing in my ears.

Roughly paraphrased from what I can remember: “I’d like to think it was a better world. I’d like to be able to go on holiday and just play. But I can’t! I can’t. I can’t because... because I know. I know.”

Cruise never said what he knew that was preventing him going on holiday and thinking it was a better world. The fact that he didn’t say what he knew irks me more than not knowing what he knows. Why? Because I think he didn’t actually know anything. *Pow*, right there!

Yes, Tom. I know too. *I KNOW!*

I remember thinking: Either you’re in it our you’re not. We’re trying to help. We know. Ergo everybody else is not in, is not trying to help, does not know. And: You just – do it! And I remember thinking that this manichaean paranoia doesn’t have room for conflicting goals, or goals with different priorities, no place for trade-offs or compromise. You just *do* it.

manichaean paranoia

There’s also Tom Cat Unmasked from icanhascheezburger.com for comic relief.
