Meanwhile, Cruise has been busier pushing Scientology than anyone knew. According to a just-declassified State Department schedule, Cruise visited then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage on June 13, 2003, just an hour after Armitage had met with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward. (It's speculated that Armitage outed Valerie Plame as a CIA spy at that meeting.)
Cruise was accompanied by Tom Davis, head of the L.A. Celebrity Center for Scientology, and Kurt Weiland, Scientology's veep of communications.
What was discussed? "Only Armitage can answer that question, and he's no longer here," a State Department spokesman told us. E-mails to Armitage and Cruise's rep weren't answered, nor was a call to Scientology headquarters.
A year earlier, the "Mission: Impossible" star met with the U.S. ambassador to Germany to lend his support to the failed campaign to have Scientology recognized as an official religion there.
Wow.
I didn't fully realize the depth of the Scientologist conspiracy. I mean I thought like the RAND corporation and the Illuminati were in way deeper, but I guess I was wrong.
The question now becomes: Are there problems in the world that can't be blamed on Tom Cruise?

No.
I just don't understand!! How can anyone, in his or her sane mind, believe in this &&%%$ - which is, at best, science fiction, and very bad science fiction at that? What is the psychology behind Scientology (oh, wait! They hate psychologists and psychiatrists... Ah, well!)? Is it the reflexion of an ethically-bankrupt and morally-insecure populace trying to save their last vestige of self-respect by clinging to any credo that promises 'achievement of awareness of their spiritual existence', even if it happens to be as frankly ludicrous as Scientology?
