"But the meaning of that and similar passages is just what it sounds
like, said Mike Rinder, who spent 25 years as a senior Scientology
executive before defecting in 2007. Once the church's international
spokesman, Rinder said Scientology leader David Miscavige's retail plan
for downtown is an embodiment and fulfillment of its preachings 'to take
over governments.'
'Really it's not specifically Clearwater,' he said. 'Scientology
believes that they are going to take over the world. This means bringing
everybody into compliance with the goals and objectives of
Scientology.'
With the church's international spiritual headquarters located
downtown at the 300,000 square foot Flag Building, Rinder said
insulating that footprint is a priority for church leaders.
If Miscavige succeeds and recruits retail to the struggling downtown,
Rinder said he will instruct local and visiting Scientologists to
frequent the shops. That, he said, would create a 'perimeter of safety'
around the Flag headquarters and the Fort Harrison Hotel, so
parishioners can take courses and buy church counseling sessions and not
have to cross paths with outsiders."
This is a great review of Scientology "scripture" that tells to take over the surrounding environment, including governments. This especially targets Clearwater.
