They’ve been setting it up for a while now — but well, here we go…

THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY IS IN THE HOUSE!

… and comedy gold in the comments section of the Portland Mercury here.   I’m curious about the “Tony Ortega” question.  This the equivalent of  the larouchers shouting “Dennis King!  High Times!”

All right.  So I walked across the block a few times to have a looksee.  I take the trees to be placed all about to stop too much “look seeing” — this has the look to it of a grand production for filming and not really a grand scene in and of itself.  The guy on the stage, in the snippets I heard from him — referenced Saucerful of Secrets and someone working with Donna Ross.  I guess this may be, like, a personal narrative on how the power of Scientology saved him from Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd — (or how psychiatry destroyed Syd Barrett and someone working with Donna Ross)?

It had the feel to it of a rehearsal for a larger crowd expected later, but would have worked as an informal speech to an empty crowd.

On the corner across the street is a man with a cardboard sign.  This is a common spot for “spare change?”, so I imagine the sign might read a variation of “Why Lie?  Need money for Ninja fighting beer” or whatever the current cleverness is right now.  But nope.  The sign reads something… relevant?

Fluoridation?  … No?
Scientology? … Yes?
What about Benghazi?

No, I don’t know what it means either.
And he’s having a conversation with someone, a bit irate over things.  The sign seems a bit too cryptic for any real passion on it, but to each their own.  From what I can tell from the back of the sign, which I see has something about the Fight against Ignorance, it might be actually pro-fluoride and anti-Scientology, or something about looking to actual real issues as opposed to Fluoride and Scientology.  (Where this lands him on the issue of Benghazi I do not know.)  Anyway, he appeared to say to the man arguing with him that he was stuck in 6th Grade logic — and I just moseyed on away.  And past the camera crew in the center of the big production (a Potemkin Village it be.)  And past what I supposed were “Sea Org” security, or am I boffing my Scientology knowledge?

… and, looking about.  Hm.  Is this anything good for Yakima?
