Cult or scam or both.... the courts and the IRS consider it a religion until proven otherwise.

Powerful, well organized, effective. I still don't know how they get their money or continue to recruit new members.

I don't know if Tom Cruise made money or spent more money on them than he made.

They're all cults.


I can't but read what he said, it's
statements like that are the reason I
have him blocked. I would say more but
I would get suspended for sure.
Just ignoring him is your best bet.

I think Terapined genuinely has a good heart, unlike many liberals. He's wrong often [lol]. Got to get away from Murdoch news/infotainment.

I recall he used to watch RT. He must have quit though, to be saying such scurrilous things about Vlad?

Appreciate your post
I had to look up RT
I don't know where you got that from
I did watch some Al Jazeera when I had access

Bottom line, both left and right wants what is best for the country
Just our definition of best is different and how go about achieving best is different

The left and the right need to view each other as the loyal opposition rather then enemies

I can see EB really hates me. No doubt EB considers me an enemy. lol

Unpossible. If that were true, the national debt wouldn't have just crossed 21 Trillion dollars, and we wouldn't be in a handful of active hot wars.

Actually at one time, the IRS went after scientology
Scientology calls itself a religion due to the enormous tax breaks
The IRS considered scientology a business
Scientology plays hard and dirty
They would vandalize homes and cars. Kill pets. The harassment was very devious and constant
The IRS asked scientology would the harassment stop if they decide scientology is a religion. Scientology's answer "like a faucet"

Very hard to have an exact value, but it
would be in the trillions. Amazing what
1700 years of theft and unlawful seizure
can amount to, and gigantic gifts given
when the Church's boot is on your throat.

Reminded me, I wanted to look up Zerohedge news.

Quote:
Zero Hedge is an English-language financial blog that aggregates news and presents editorial opinions from original and outside sources. The news portion of the site is written by a group of editors who collectively write under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden" (a character from the novel and film Fight Club).
Zero Hedge's content has been classified as "alt-right",[3] anti-establishment, conspiratorial, and economically pessimistic,[4][5] and has been criticized for presenting extreme and sometimes pro-Russian views


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge

If people notice a news site is pro Russian, I can't think of much reason for that than it is pro-Russian.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
