Church of Scientology- PREYING on Wounded US Soldiers

Earlier this year, the Church of Scientology reached a new level of depravity when it released this advertisement.
Within days of its appearance, Kaja Ballo, a Norwegian student, committed suicide after Scientology found her “ruin” and then rubbed her nose in it.
However, the controversial church has now sunk even lower by using wounded American soldiers in its new Dianetics book drive.
Just as the church preyed upon the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings, Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, David Miscavige has now started to “Steal Valor” from American heroes in an attempt to generate revenue.
At Dianetics.org, there is a new promotional video showing an American soldier getting shot in Iraq.
The video shows a tense US soldier on patrol.
Next, we see the soldier recoil as a bullet tears into his upper body.
The soldier then falls to the ground.
In the real world, the next frame would show comrades and medics running to aid the wounded soldier. However, reality does not sell Dianetics books and that is the purpose of this video. So, instead, we are presented with Scientology gobbledygook and the fictional concepts of "engrams" and the "reactive mind".
The next frame of the church’s video shows the soldier at a picnic back in the USA. There are stars and stripes displayed and this video was clearly released to milk US patriotism during the recent 4th of July holidays.
In the next scene, a group of teenagers nearby light some firecrackers.
The firecrackers sound like machine gun firing and frighten the soldier. This represents the natural reaction of someone who has recently been shot. However, Scientology depicts the reaction as a mental weakness called an “engram” and the video goes on to suggest that Dianetics can remove “engrams” and leave you in a state of “clear” (in which you no longer react emotionally to negative memories).
So why do I find this video obnoxious? Well, it’s not just this particular video. The church of scientology has a habit of milking natural and man-made disasters for its own benefit. The church has been heavily criticized for turning up at the Virginia Tech shootings, in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and at Ground Zero following 9/11 – and for handing out thousands of promotional leaflets and for getting in the way of true heroes (see my video Church of Scientology – SHAMELESS PARASITES).
I also object to this particular video because it cheapens the deaths of thousands of American (and British) soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I also object to it because “engrams”, the “Reactive Mind” and the state of “Clear” are Science Fiction (created by L Ron Hubbard, a charlatan 1950’s Science Fiction writer).
