Watch: Scientology ‘God’ Xenu Takes Day Off as False Church’s Parade Float Eats Pavement
Published By admin with Comments 0
Seventy-five million years ago, the Church of Scientology teaches, a galactic overlord named Xenu — dictator of an untold number of planets — flew his people to earth on board spaceships that looked exactly like DC-8 jets.
No word on how the great galactic overlord so presciently predicted what the first jet airliner from the Douglas Aircraft Company would look like — or did they copy it from him? — but, no matter.
Apparently, in an ensuing kerfuffle, Xenu was imprisoned by the beings. But, in doing so, evil spirits named thetans were released and now occupy our bodies, or something. I can’t really do the whole piffle by explaining it in adumbrated form — and, in fairness, L. Ron Hubbard wasn’t much better at explaining it, either.
However, either Xenu was taking the day off or is still kind of ticked off about being imprisoned by the beings he brought to earth — because the organization that believes they were brought here aboard DC-8s that could travel intergalactically 75 million years before the actual DC-8 flew couldn’t keep a parade balloon afloat in the Hollywood Christmas Parade in Los Angeles.
According to the Scientology Newsroom, the Hollywood Christmas Parade was to be the annual kickoff of the Church of Scientology’s “Winter Wonderland” display, “designed to replicate the ambiance of an old-fashioned Hollywood set.”
“L. Ron Hubbard began the tradition in 1983 when he first presented the gift of a tree and Winter Wonderland, surrounded by a forest of evergreens, to the Hollywood community,” the article notes.
“The annual tradition has continued ever since and has provided joy to tens of thousands of children and their families. The Winter Wonderland banner carries Mr. Hubbard’s timeless and universal message: ‘On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.’”
And presumably, lots of DC-8s. Anyway, the winterland set was supposed to open on Dec. 1, which was “the night of the Hollywood Christmas Parade, and will provide a unique photo opportunity for families through Christmas Day.”
Oh, it provided a “unique photo opportunity,” all right — although not one the church probably desired.
Amid a series of protests along the streets as the balloon traveled its path, the fake church’s inflatable idol ended up eating pavement thanks to deflation and/or other issues.
A longer video of the interaction shows that the balloon was initially upright and doing its job — whatever that might have been — while protesters walked alongside with signs saying that the religion was a cult and brainwashed children. Which, I mean, if you don’t know that, you’re either willfully blind and/or negotiating a huge sum to film a sequel to “Days of Thunder” at the moment.
