I was introduced to Scientology® back in the 1980’s by “60 Minutes.” They did two terrific reports, in 1980 and 1985, which showed the impact this organization had on the small town of Clearwater, Florida. It was a very chilling story which showed a sleepy beach community, made up primarily of retirees, being invaded and occupied by a paramilitary organization disguised as a church.

Those are harsh words but when you look at the actions Scientology® took upon entering Clearwater, they are accurate. Scientology® files uncovered in FBI raids in Los Angeles and Washington provided a detailed look at the covert operations Scientology® ran to target their enemies and destroy them, including attacks on the mayor of the city, Gabe Cazares.
