Now, HAI is definitely not a cover for a sketchy secret organization infiltrating world governments to make everyone buy bricks, but if we were, we would rely on quality topic suggestions to fund our operations. That's because good topics make good videos, and that's why we ask you, the viewer, to suggest your ideas to our suggestion bin: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link If we use your topic, we'll even send you a free HAI t-shirt.

@diegobolso2005 A particularly subjective viewpoint. I sure there are many who believe it is a true religion.

@Colin Campbell because scientcrap isn't a real religion but a scam. I doubt HAI would make fun of a true religion, but who knows who's behind it 😂.

Scientology was created when the fiction writer took a bet that there was more money to be made from religion than writing science fiction books.
You’ve become a trendy racist
Not honestly surprised that they tried to frame the mayor of Clearwater for murder, they still currently control the majority of downtown Clearwater real estate and the businesses that they don't own are pressured into higher property fees bcz the "church" doesn't pay property taxes and artificially raises real estate costs to buy out anyone who speaks out against them. Clearwater is their second largest hub after the one in California and is home to their main "training center". Source: from Clearwater
*Holy music starts*
I snuck into a Scientology church once. We drank a bunch of vodka, watched bad recruitment movies, then stole a Scientology navy movie and legged it.
Anything that charges you for "services" is called a business, not a religion. Great now the Scientologist are going to come after me. Get a life losers!
The sad thing is they got away with it and are still operating to this day.
how has the scienetolgists race become importnamt ?
How the heck people still believe in this crap after such a public outing like this beyond me...
makes as much sense as torah, new testament and koran, a way to scam money and control dum dum people
Oh! Scientology! I thought you were talking about the Republican Party...
Honestly doesn't sound crazier than any of the mainstream religions...
I was gonna like this, but you shit on Star Trek. So despite hating Scientology, dislike.
Scientologists: We got 5,000 secret agents in the government! Christians: We *are* the government.
Kifflom!
I want to like Bart Simpson, but I can't because of this bullcrap.
This is an example of what happens when there’s actually a major conspiracy involving large numbers of people....it gets discovered very quickly.
The softness of the Clinton administration led to the 911 terrorist attacks.
A saying amoung some bikers: "Tom Cruise is the only person who should be allowed to ride a bike without a helmet, because he don't have a brain".
I live in Clearwater FL within walking distance of their religious center of the universe. I see Scientologists every day and have seen some of their more famous members several times. They infiltrate every government agency they can from the local level on up. What they can't infiltrate they sue. We used to have a wonderful newspaper that were constantly doing investigative reports on Scientology until they sued them out of existence. When the new Clearwater Public Library opened up it was discovered that all archived copies of the Clearwater Sun mysteriously disappeared. Clearwater has no photography zones. In violation of the constitution, Clearwater Police enforce an unofficial off the books law that you cannot photograph or video any Scientology property for any reason. If you are caught they will confiscate your camera, you will not get it back and you will not be compensated. Then they will put you in handcuffs and keep you in the Clearwater Police station for 48 hours without being charged and either let you go or if they are feeling particularly ambitious, they will charge you with any number of bogus crimes like disorderly conduct, malicious mischief and so on. The reason this can happen is due to the fact that first Scientology built the city a new police station a few years ago and second, half the force are members as are half the staff at city hall. Scientology owns most of the real estate in the downtown area. They don't pay taxes on any of those properties. They ruined an otherwise nice downtown by scaring away all the tourists who used to come here 50 years ago. They have purchased multiple hotels and multiple apartment complexes and evicted everyone without reason and then put their members up in those locations. One building had 120 condo unites and the Scientologists went in and bought up one unit at a time until all the vacant ones were theirs. Then they got involved in the condo management and as soon as they got majority ownership which took about 5 years they created a whole slew of impossible to follow rules and evicted the rest of the owners for breaking those rules imposing ludicrous fines like $25,000 for having furniture visible through your windows on the 20th floor or having the wrong shade of white light coming from under your door or having the wrong color furniture on your balcony. They even imposed a $100,000 per day late fee for being late on your $1500 a month condo fee which used to be $300 a month. So now they own the entire building which they now charge $5000 a month in condo fees for.
Brainwashed mind controlled zombies can't be considered agents.
These guys are modern day mobsters which is like cool as fuck.

Devils advocate : ( some pun attended ? ) ... is Scientioligy any crazier than any other "religion "
Scientology is a cult, and the majority of its members are abusive gaslighting morons. Not to mention criminals.
This guy is a good white. He called us all out for those scientologists getting away with something. How dumb do we look?
Scientology Was Formed To Launder Money + To Push The Far Left Ideology's Smoking It As Liberal Ideology + They Are Involved in child Trafficking.
I guess this means the QAnon crazies aren’t going away anytime soon, either. 😕
At this point, everyone kinda knows how screwed up Scientology is. So anyone that joins up now, well they're just looking for trouble and deserve what they get
huh...so I guess GTA V's Epsilon Program is based off Scientology
Guess who's a Suppressive Person now.
Damn, I really wanted to hear more about bricks.

Dear 'Mr. Half A, Interesting'. Do you know our friend , 'Mr. T. Most Interesting'? He's a Man in the World, you know?...he's not holy like us. We would have contacted him, but he's usually drunk. We find your comments most distressing. You make us out to be greedy money mongering brain washers chasing after simpleton targets such as a Tom and John (these are famous people you know, you should show respect). Anyway, as it turns out, we have a bunch of spies with nothing to do now, so we figure the best thing to do is to put them to work on everyday folks and media scientology-haters such as yourself. We do this for your own protection, you know? We care about you, we love you, we want to know more about you...much, much more.

512 brain-washed, kool-Aid drinking, virus-denying, flag wavers say this video is a 'thumbs down'. 512, really, that's all? The rest haven found you yet, I guess.
Sounds like the next Mission Impossible movie and Tom Cruise already has the inside track.
Virgin Scientology vs World fights : *only undercover, doesn't want to sacrifice lives, only the world always win, Scientology not owned by any 1 nation, uses snow white names* Chad Catholic vs Muslim fights : *going strong after thousands of year, always end up killing someone, all have their own victories, uses c o o l names like crusade and reconquista*
Now do one on how Catholicism infultrated your government.
being white? really? Citation needed.
Anyone noticed the disney theme here

*5000 people show up to the irs headquarters... religious war boi*
To be honest, Dianetics was published in a sci-fi magazine, but it really was a pseudoscientific therapy method that Hubbard developed because he decided psychiatry was evil after being denied free treatment. Also, it's interesting that he commanded a ship during WW2, which he used to: 1. Fire all its depth charges at a nonexistent Japanese submarine 2. Shell some Mexican islands
i found a picture of you denby
So much hate
Isn't any church a fake church? I mean, even christianity and islam are based on nothing more than a book of fiction...
Fire Lord Ozai
That's impressive and all... But I'm pretty sure there are more than 5000 Trekkies who infiltrated governments worldwide. A lot more. Although I suppose that's less of a plot and more just demographics.
Who cares? From what I know - Scientology isn't even 1% as bad as Islam and Christianity.
you only really said how they got 2 agents in.
A lot of people don’t know this, but L Ron Hubbard was actually a black man named L Ron Hoyabembe
Do they still have to pay taxes?

"I have never had any problems with the IRS." -- Shelly Miscavige

Funfact: Germany is mentioned every year in the international religious freedom report of the US for discrimination against Scientology because they are considered a cult and observed by the Verfassungsschutz
Now the Cult of Intersectional Wokeness has infiltrated our government as well, along with our media, academia, and most large corporations. I miss the days when Scientology was the biggest and most dangerous cult in America.
It’s called operation snow white, snow white sleeps, waiting to be woken up. Operation snow white silently put agents into world organizations, secretly, and covertly, maybe you could say they were waiting to do something big. Interesting yet horrifying.
Well, this is going to be terrifying, huh? Well let's go...Start the video.
Biggest infiltration? See the modernist infiltration in the Catholic Church
Total lies. Scientology is nothing like that.

What a pretty organized set of Trekkies.
This is way more than half as interesting.... It's highly captivating
In a sane world, this would have been the end of Scientology...but in a sane world, Scientology would never have existed in the first place.
So my entire life is a lie?....
This would make a great movie
I remember one time during my church confirmation class, we were talking about other religions, and one classmate asked "Is the church of scientology based on science?" and our youth group leader replied "no, no, no, no, no"
How is Scientology still legal?
Please make a video about the science of bricks.
And yet they are still not considered a terrorist organization. Fucking insane!
