Pretty sure at some level the Church of Scientology is complicit. Would benefit them for the "religious exemption" bullshit, too. They've had practice infiltrating governments. Look into them, seriously. There's always a new stone to unturn that's just fascinating.
Just look at Operation Snow White.
Thefts from 136 government agencies, in 30 countries.
Or Project Normandy, where they literally tried to take over the city of Clearwater, Florida.
The ambitions of the cult do not go away over time. They just update their methods if they want to succeed
religious discrimination laws WERE used by Scientology to take over a cult hotline. People who needed to escape cults went to Scientology and didn't even know it. Think about that. 1997. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv-iQBnEpqI
That's also the same way as saying, they built a recruitment center for cultists from other cults, thus targeting a demographic.
Basically: They mass signed up, they mass got denied, and then they mass sent in a lawsuit
Now that Texas is doubling down on "religious exemption" laws, keep on eye on Scientology maneuvering, just saying.
"The Hole".
This is just ridiculous.
A place to store their administration but it sounds like a prison.
