Scientologist von Stauffenberg

That actor, talk show stand-up-on-chair comedian and sinister member of a reptile race in human form that has secretly been controlling the course of human history for seven millennia Tom Cruise is set to play the role of the German Widerstandskämpfer (resistance fighter – what, there was only one?) Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (bet you can’t say his name ten times really fast) in an upcoming film is bad enough, but now the von Stauffenberg family is justifiably worried that Scientology might creep into the film, as well. When Tom Cruise creeps into it, that is.



Graf von Stauffenberg, the originator of the first Mission Impossible, was a German Wehrmacht officer who took part in a resistance group which planned “Operation Valkyrie”, the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944. The bomb which von Stauffenberg planted in a bunker briefing room next to Hitler killed several high-ranking officers, but left the dictator unscathed. This of course then led to von Stauffenberg’s gruesome and untimely death.

Upon hearing about the Cruise casting, one of von Stauffenberg’s grandchildren expressed concern that the film might be financed by Scientology and that it could be an attempt to spread the organization’s zany, laugh-a-minute propaganda by cruel and unusual means. Cruise, for his part, has vocally lobbied German officials in the past over the country’s steadfast refusal to recognize Scientology as a church. Old Europeans.

So is this payback time, or what? Only the Intergalactic Reptilian Council convening on Zardon four thousand years ago knows for sure.

Widerstehen kann ich Tom Cruise schon.

1 - What amazes me is why they just don't let the Scientologists blather on their drivel to whoever will listen. That should put them out of business in Germany soon enough. (Comment this)

2 - They can "blather on their drivel to whoever will listen". But they aren't recognized as a Church in
Germany, thats what they want and we won't give it to them, ever. (Comment this)

3 - O/T I've always wondered how the heck Germany manages to avoid Article 4 in the Basic Law in regards to Scientology? Plus I wonder who Germany would rather have preaching, Tom Cruise or Mohammed Atta?

4 - Volker,
That's why I said "put them out of business," because they're recognised as a business, not a church. So, irony of ironies, a self-proclaimed "church" is forbidden to operate on a Sunday because of Germany's strict Sunday-shopping laws! I love it.

5 - @Pat
Article 4 [Freedom of faith, conscience, and creed]

(1) Freedom of faith and of conscience, and freedom to profess a religious or philosophical creed, shall be inviolable.

(2) The undisturbed practice of religion shall be guaranteed.

(3) No person shall be compelled against his conscience to render military service involving the use of arms. Details shall be regulated by a federal law.

So we don't have to recognize their "Church".
They can believe what they want but no one can force us to give them church rights.
I wonder if they know and feel obliged to our second Article:

Article 2 [Personal freedoms]

(1) Every person shall have the right to free development of his personality insofar as he does not violate the rights of others or offend against the constitutional order or the moral law.

(2) Every person shall have the right to life and physical integrity. Freedom of the person shall be inviolable. These rights may be interfered with only pursuant to a law.
