Hollywood star Tom Cruise is planning to build a bunker at his Colorado home to protect his family in the event of an intergalactic alien attack, according to new reports.

The Mission Impossible actor, who is a dedicated follower of Scientology, is reportedly fearful that deposed galactic ruler 'Xenu' is plotting an evil revenge attack on Earth.

Seriously, Xenu has ruling the galaxy for millions of years now. He must have planet killer weapons by now.  Face it, Tom, the only chance is build you own ship and evacuate the planet.

"is reportedly fearful that deposed galactic ruler 'Xenu' is plotting an evil revenge attack on Earth."


When and what did we earthlings do to piss of "Xenu"?

Is there some lore that I missed by not paying attention?

I never thought I would say this to anyone except out of pure malice:

Go watch Battlefield Earth.

Also, be sure and thoroughly read this survival guide:

http://www.xeeatwelve.com/ (http://www.xeeatwelve.com/)

I haven't seen it myself (I seem to recall throwing my computer out the window and pouring bleach in my eyes before getting that far) but I am sure Xenu is mentioned in here somewhere. 

Oh wait nm I think this guy actually is Xenu.

Global warming is caused by many factors. The sun is much hotter. The Earth’s icosahedron is beginning to malfunction, and there is increased friction as the illusion of the spheroid-shaped Earth is faltering, which causes more heat. The oceans are being superheated by aliens who are attempting to free spacecrafts from Antarctic ice. There are also problems resulting from inner Earth activities. As Matter breaks down, there is friction on the sub-atomic level in ways never before experienced. Some people can already sense extreme bursts of heat in their bodies that come from no apparent physical stimuli, and are unrelated to any of their energy centres. These heat bursts are all around, and they affect the weather, the oceanic temperatures, and even the emotional reactions of people as seen in things like road rage, schoolyard bullying, political in-fighting etc.

I think the instant anyone associates themselves with Scientology they should be assumed to be in "Super Scientology Crazy Fuck Mode" until deprogrammed. Or eliminated.

You can't blame the book for that movie...and for the record I'm firmly in the camp that states Scientology was a bet between Hubbard and Heinlein regarding who could come up with the most far out religion possible. It was a joke to Hubbard, and he obviously won the bet since you don't see folks forming churches around grokking in fullness much.

I never read Hubbard but Stranger in A Strange Land was pretty cool. I bet Heinlein thought he'd win because his church had frequent orgies in it.

I had read that, its an obscure mention in a few articles about Scientology. When i had read that hubbard made a comment about making a religion so he could get rich on it, it solidified my belief that was the true purpose of Scientology. There has to be somebody at the top of that cult thats laughing all the way to the bank , Im sure the checks will "clear" just fine hehe.

No bet, just that L. Ron made numerous comments over the years that if you really wanted to get rich you should start a religion and that he and Heinlein discussed the topic several times at length.  http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1276839

The fact that L. Ron then spent the rest of his years after forming Scientology traveling the world in an enormous yacht staffed with true believers just seems like a bit more than coincidence.

Good info, although I have to admit I personally remember reading in an essay (and I will spend quite a bit of time trying to track it down!) from Hubbard--I think it was in his horror story Fear) that talks a bit about it.

lol. Maybe someday, when I can handle the truth. This could be in another ballpark, but when Scorsese does something like The Last Temptation of Christ or Kundun, I don't mind seeing religion in film.

I'm trying to bring back the viking religion. Monotheism has failed because it does not allow people to express their individual beliefs and you get pacifists and suicide bombers following the same god. It's stuptarded.

I have a whole theory of viking dominance and global cooling period, so we're in something of a downturn right now. Give it some time and Al Gore will come through for us!

It's not exactly like that since Scientology is reversed from other religions in a way, since it started out as a sci-fi story and became a religion rather than a religion spawning various books and movies.  Or somesuch.  That said, reading Battlefield Earth doesn't flash RELIGION at you since, well, if you aren't familiar with Hubbard or Scientology then you aren't going to recognize it as such.  Even if you do, I think you'd have to admit that Scientology is actually a pulp sci-fi story rather than a traditional lifestyle system.  I didn't find either Battlefield Earth or Mission Earth to be instructional in any way, either, except maybe "I HATES WOMEN AND PSYCHIATRISTS".

Hmm.. If I was a kid.. I wouldn't want to live with a pedophile.  It might just be me, I like not getting molested.  I'd rather have a really expensive bunker to live in, I mean he may be crazy... but at least if aliens ever do come and take over the planet, they'll be set.

Amen! Just because those Aliens can make their way to earth there's no way they'll be able to penetrate the bunker. Or maybe the water will get them!

Hubbard was clearly a nutjob, even if he was one who used his religion to exploit people.

Why couldn't they have picked Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land to base a religion on.  That's more believable then Xenu, and a lot more fun.  lol

That goes to show you just how crazy Scientologists really are. And, yeah, if I was a kid- there's no fucking way I'd want to have the pedo parents over crazy Scientologists. At least with the Scientologists, I could make fun of my nutso parents with my friends. Being molested while riding a carousel? Not so much.

Well, his plan does have the bonus of meeting several other disaster contingencies.  He may be building it for alien attack, but there is still always the random chance of nuclear armageddon, catastrophic plague, meteor strike, general collapse of civilization, ect.  All of which are alot more likely than an alien attack that can be stopped by a personal bunker.  So hey, at least there are some advantages to it.
