They'll figure out your diet," says Rathbun. "They'll read stuff into the kind of alcohol you're drinking and how much.
These people were then the targets of "covert information gathering" that included searching through their trash, purchasing their phone records, hacking their airline reservations, going through their bank records, and reading their personal letters. In order to find a "direct line" to Parker and Stone, the OSA allegedly identified close friends of Parker and Stone, including formerly married actors John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn, "in an effort to find some weakness," says Kimberly Nordyke at The Hollywood Reporter. How did they conduct this alleged investigation? According to Rathbun, the OSA uses methods comparable to Cold War-era CIA and KGB "intelligence and propaganda techniques," such as investigation, threats, and infiltration. But we found another one! And below that, we've linked to a bonus interview of Parker and Stone, who appeared Thursday on Letterman.Former Scientology executive Marty Rathbun, who left the church in 2005, released an internal Scientology document on his blog detailing the investigation by the religion's Office of Special Affairs (OSA) - which he calls "the harassment and terror network of Corporate Scientology." The probe of Parker and Stone was apparently direct "retaliation for the South Park episode that exposed the religion's bizarre upper-level teachings," says Tony Ortega at The Village Voice.
Since posting a link earlier this week to a YouTube upload of said controversial "South Park" episode, it was taken down. We don't know what's going on, but we're enjoying the fun.
Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"Ĭomedy Central now claims they simply took the Scientology episode out of rotation this week to replay the episode "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls" in honor of Isaac Hayes, also a Scientologist, who left the show as the voice of Chef, complaining about the way the show depicted Scientologists. "So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Then, Parker and Stone issued this statement to Variety: A Cruise spokesperson, though, denies that he made any such threat. Variety claimed that Comedy Central pulled the recent "South Park" episode that skewered Scientology out of rotation, and that "blog reports" (and we know how reliable they are!) were claiming that Comedy Central buckled to the threats of Cruise, a famous Scientologist. It's a little unclear exactly what's going on between Comedy Central, "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and pocket-sized Uber-Thetan, Tom Cruise.
