Does Scientology hold any political views?
Yes. Any person, politician, or political party who criticizes them is to be destroyed under their “Fair Game” policy. A former Scientologist tells his story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Piece_of_Blue_Sky The Story: http://www.clambake.org/archive/books/apobs/contents.htm Another former Scientologist with links to her site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tory_Christman Kids who grew up in Scientology and now speak out: http://www.exscientologykids.com/index.html Arnie Lerma, Early Scientologist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaldo_Lerma Gerry Armstrong, Former Scientologist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Armstrong_(activist) Co$ vs. Gerry Armstrong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology_v._Gerald_Armstrong Gerry Armstrong Site http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/introduction.html More unethical and illegal Scientology activities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freakout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology#Illegal_activities http://en.wikipedia.
CofS doesn’t have an official political stance. I think they’d befriend any politician who might do them some good. However, Hubbard did write some conspiracy-think stuff about the twelve world bankers and things like that. Consequently, most CofS members are rather conspiracy oriented and this can affect their political views. I’ve heard some of them twittering away about the “one world government”.
Scientology is nonpolitical and does not engage in any political activity whatsoever. By its creed, All men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments. Scientologists are free to hold their own political views, vote for the candidates of their choice, etc., and are not given direction from the Church as to what position to take on political issues or candidates. The Church believes there should be a complete separation of church and state.
