All Hail Lord Xenu!!!!1!!one!!
Xenu (also Xemu), pronounced /ˈziːnuː/, according to Scientology founder (and speculative fiction writer) L. Ron Hubbard, was the dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” who, 75 million years ago, brought billions[1] of his people to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Scientology holds that their essences remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm.[2][3] Members of the Church of Scientology widely deny or try to hide the Xenu story.
These events are known within Scientology as “Incident II”, and the traumatic memories associated with them as The Wall of Fire. The story of Xenu is part of Scientologist teachings on extraterrestrial civilizations and alien interventions in Earthly events, collectively described as space opera by Hubbard. Hubbard detailed the story in Operating Thetan level III (OT III) in 1967, warning that this material was “calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it.”[sic][4]
Criticism of the Church of Scientology often includes details of the Xenu story. The Church has tried to keep Xenu confidential[5] but critics say the story should be made public, given the high prices charged for OT III, part of Scientology’s secret “Advanced Technology” doctrines taught only to members who have already contributed large amounts of money to the organization.[6] The Church avoids making mention of Xenu in public statements and has gone to considerable effort to maintain the story’s confidentiality, including legal action on the grounds of both copyright and trade secrecy. Despite this, much material on Xenu has leaked to the public, largely via the Internet. (via wikipedia)
Of Course no scientology post can be complete without citing the current battle between the church of scientology and the online group known as anonymous.The self-styled Anonymous (used as a mass noun) are the multitude of visitors to various websites and forums. The name “Anonymous” is taken from the anonymity under which users post images and comments. It is generally considered as a blanket term – not tied to any monolithic group – for members of the Internet culture.[1] The general public’s introduction to the group began with Project Chanology, a protest against the Church of Scientology. The most visible element of the protest was mass protests of many Church sites worldwide on 10 February 2008.[2] Anonymous lacks a visible hierarchical structure or leaders, instead relying on individuals to contribute to the group on their own.[3] Several mottos are closely associated with Anonymous, the most prominent of which is “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.

Ok. You got me. This image was actually lifted from the latest edition of L Con Hubbard’s classic “Incident in the Inner Sphere”. I always keep a copy by my paints in case I need some quick inspiration.
