@@olgacouzins2638 I never know what too think when people like Bale thanks satan in their speech etc? Are they mocking, trying too get attention or are they genuinely a satanist? And are we at a place where people can just say that, and the world isn't shocked or disgusted etc etc? What do you think, if you don't mind me asking? Jesus is Lord!
that was not the interview...you can tell. It's hard to find the date but apparently the date was 2004, and i believe so as Tom cruise's face started to change circa 2000s, it got wider and maybe he got jaw implants or something, can't confirm but his appearance started to change. His face before 1994 had a much younger look to it. So it was a different interview, i believe it was on some rosie show or something
The fact the crowd keeps laughing at the oxygen story while the presentator is just thinking 'what the fuck' is so distopian and just straight up looks like a scene from the first joker movie
Agreed, its an example of societal and "pretty privilege." If that had been a tatted up ex\current con, it would have been seen as dangerous and reckless, not humorous. Now, the fear that Scientology evokes through vengeance is an additional layer. #oursocietyhasnoprinciplesleft
They add a laugh track for these kinds of shows when the shit isn't actually funny, and it prompts stupid people watching at home to laugh. It's why Fallon and Kimmel have lasted as long as they have.
Imagine getting almost murdered by Tom Cruise and then seeing him literally weep with laughter boasting about it on a talk show while hundreds of people laugh along with him
Yeah, I was like - wtf is wrong with the audience, I understand they probably had the "now laugh" sign up, but still sounded like the whole room was filled with scientologists...
@@badmaniak They had to do it? no they didn't have to fly that high in the first place and laughing about him "sleeping the whole way" is just maniacal
Christine Bale taking inspiration from Tom Cruise to play Patrick Bateman is even funnier since there is a scene in the book where Patrick and Tom meet in an elevator and its one of the more embarrassing interactions Patrick has
One of my main takeaways from this was how sad it is that the education system failed Tom so badly that the only person he found any help from was an insidious, self-proclaimed scammer.
Everyone they hire at least for Tom, they all workers Scientology no matter the position. That's how the rant look it up on UA-cam there's a rant from him at one of the mission impossibles from a couple years ago Are hes screaming at everyone. Everyone there was basically a volunteer through Scientology
i wouldn’t be surprised if katie cut him off and told her daughter not to speak to him. Like if i was in that situation i wouldn’t want my daughter speaking to him out of fear of her being brainwashed
You know that dyslexia effects a lot of people who are very intelligent right? You could call Tom cruise a retard without calling everyone born with a disadvantage a retard aswell
He probably believes that Scientology "cured" his illiteracy/dyslexia through a form of auditing or something. That's what happened to David Miscavige (current cult leader of Scientology,) I guess his father got him involved in Scientology and they allegedly "cured" him of his asthma which caused him to become deeply interested and probably obsessed with Scientology. It seems like a lot of Scientologists think that Scientology saved their lives (or is going to save their lives) in some way which leads to them becoming more involved.
This is a good example to cite about whataboutism, and how and why it's a fallacy. The question that clears the mind of such trash is "why not both?". Psychiatry may have been hijacked by big pharma, but engrams is just gibberish, and Zenu is lazy character writing.
False equivilent much? I'm not too fond of either organization but I know that Psychiatry is basically a guessing game, even at the highest levels. At least Scientology tries to use other homeopathic methods instead of instantly prescribing mind-altering meds. Also blindly following a Government ran organization is exactly as flawed as following a Galatic space God. Both are taking advantage of sick people for profit. I would say that Scientology is hurting much much much fewer people than the leading Mental Health Institutions of the world are. But, I would also say that the massive Mental Heath machine can help a lot more people than Scientology can.
It's beyond hypocritical. it's insanely deluded. Yeah the guy who was a below average sci-fi writer is totally believable and absolutely correct when it comes to a spiritual religion.

The two adopted kids, who jump when he tells them to, ADORE him, because he supports them financially. His ONE BIOLOGICAL child Suri, is the one he abandoned. She took CRUISE off her name about 3 weeks ago, and now her legal name is SURI NOELLE. Tom Cruise is the kind of rich DEAD BEAT DADS. When he's OLD he will see the error of his ways, but it's even too late now. Because Suri want's NOTHING to do with him. Who can blame her.
He was probably laughing because its a way to cope, detress from severe consequences. Laughing a bad situations doesn't necessarily equate to being a physco.
One of the smartest things I’ve ever done, was escaping from a Scientology center in 1978, when I was 10 years old. This was in Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, Miami, Florida. I was fascinated by display books in the window that had an erupting volcano on the cover. I had no idea what Dianetics was. A woman came out and asked me if I wanted to learn more, and led me inside. She took me to a room and said she would be right back with someone else, and closed the door. I sat there in the empty room, waiting, getting nervous, feeling vulnerable, realized that I had just followed a stranger away. I got up and ran out as fast as I could. It turns out I had better sense than all of the adults who get into Scientology. What Tom Cruise is doing, promoting this abusive scam that is robbing money from people who can’t afford it, and destroying their personal relationships- it’s unforgivable. I haven’t paid to see a Tom Cruise movie in over 10 years.
I had a, friend who joined that. I met her after abd she always has to write notes to people re-explaining her words, which is irritating. I wonder if this is why.
I lost interest after Mission Impossible. I realized he was just acting as himself in every movie. It is the same character. Now playing ..."Tom Cruise" starring Tom Cruise.
@@ChristiColonel Like when kids play cowboys or superman. "Look at me in this role, arnt I cool". I couldn't stand his nin acting either, hes like a UA-camr doing stunts for views in different contexts. Thats all.
I have a friend who worked in downtown Portland, at a local cafe. A block or so away the Scientologists have taken over an old building as one of their headquarters. A group of about eight of them would come to this cafe and order lunch. They were quiet and robotic, according to my friend. They would sit at a table and eat and NOT ONE PERSON would SAY ANYTHING. They would sit in complete SILENCE and pretty much freaked out the staff working in the cafe. They seemed "like such miserable people" according to my friend. LOL... Years ago, in the early 1990s, I was downtown and this Scientologist guy tried to lure me in. I was NOT impressed and did NOT fall into the trap. NOPE. Not interested.

@youtubegarbage7876 I am Christian but I also don't care what others believe for themselves. That's up to you not me. But I also don't stereotype 1 whole group as the same. Same how those that are not Christian I don't bring them down or stereotype them into 1 group.
@@youtubegarbage7876One is a history book that is clearly dated and accounted for in not only itself but other historical texts. One is science fiction from one dude.

@@Ethan-K The only difference between the two, is the 1000s years of time its been popular enough to be cemented in history. Maybe in another 1000 years, more people would treat it differently than now.
“He slept the whole way” Um No he didn’t! He was hypoxic and passed out! We can handle this for a few minutes, but it can be fatal for long periods of time!
That is the least psycho thing he has done. He hasn’t talked to his daughter in over 14 years simply because she wasn’t going to be a Scientologist. His only biological child. I must be awful because I thought that oxygen story was funny too. I laughed so hard I was crying. But that was before I knew who Tom actually was.
The reason that South Park was so damaging to scientology is because most of them DON'T believe those things. Only the people who have paid absurd amounts of money actually get to hear the lore about Xenu. People who weren't in that deep, which is most of them, heard about that episode and many of them realized how ridiculous it all is and left scientology before they got too sucked into it.
@@laius6047 It is like with every cult - would you confront the people instantly with the full blast, then they would run away screaming. Take Creationism - you start with being saved, with hope, with the promise to OWN Truth, moral, goodness, and not with all science is wrong, the earth is 6,000 years old, there was a global flood, ALL landlife and ALL humans spread out from ONE boat, of talking donkeys and talking burning bushes, of the good LOVING God torturing his most faithful servant nearly to death, killing his livestock, his servants, his family, just because he made a bet with the devil. Take fascism - what is bad about the Pride for your Nation, with Honour, with Duty, with solidarity of the "Volk" (people), with National symbols and amazing, giant "rituals", with your duty to protect your Fatherland against all threats - all virtues that in reasonable levels is nothing critical. But then you move on to a Nazion that takes over total control to protect your Nation. takes over all media, takes over the control over police, over the military, and selects target groups to harass and focus the hate of the people onto. For outsiders it is more obvious, US people largely learned to know fascism only with the war, saw germans and Nazis only since late 1944, after the invasion. And between 1933 and 1939, in the US there was also a fascist movement - in 1939, just months before the outbreak of war, they could fill the Madison Square Garden with 25,000 people, in brown uniforms. Take Trumpism - oh, this guy is entertaining, fun to listen to, he is SOOOO successful, he MUST be talented - the sharks, Hannibal Lecter, Haitians eating cats and dogs, the Demonrat Satanist pedophiles come later. The list could be endless. What is important is that the patterns how the psychology of people is exploited is repeating. It is easy to start with some "cult" that you find bewildering anyhow and there find the patterns and how they work, as training that you can then question those ideas and movements that appeal to you or that you hold on to. So to speak, ah, that sounds interesting, and INSTANTLY make the leap "Let's find out what the fundamental ideas are".
Yeah it’s even more messed up is that Isaac Hayes, who was the voice of chef, was actually a Scientologist and was really offended by that episode. He quit the show soon after that.
and imo i think it also showed how much of a false threat scientology really was. like everyone was afraid of speaking about them and getting sued, then matt and trey do it, get threatened yet nothing happens.
@@CesarR1037 Idk how true this is but according to Issac Hayes' son, that's not the whole story; Hayes suffered a massive stroke around that time, which left him without the ability to speak. He was in no position to voluntarily leave the show, as he wasn't all that aware mentally at the time, so someone in his inner circle- who all happened to be scientologists- Made the decision *for* him essentially.
Looking at Tom Cruise wearing that silly made up "medal of valor" was hilarious. He looked so stupid. He's in love with the power, and with being ADORED by all those hangers on. So sad. He's pathetic.
Seeing his background, of how he was abused and uncared for by the one man who you hope will always be on your side, I see why, but can't justify this behaviour.
He's a millionaire, one of the most successful actors in Hollywood with an incredible career, his movies STILL break records, he's handsome, healthy ,and dates beautiful women. Yeah, what a sad life 😂😂😂
"Utterly unreadable and filled with nonsense" "The writing is tedious." "One of the most poorly written books I've ever read" Just a few quotes from the MANY negative reviews your silly books receive. And u have the nerve to criticize someone else?😂 And I'll be sure to add more 1 star reviews. 😁
Tom doesn't seem to realize, he was already on the road to success without Scientology. He always had everything he needed. Hard work, talent, grit. What Miscavage made him believe was that he needed Scientology. He's given his whole life to this thing for no reason. Either he believes all the nonsense or he's too scared to leave.
Maybe he had what it took to be successful, but he still had a big hole in his life. That hole was filled by this ideology. For other people it could have been another ideology or drugs or whatever.
Thanks so much for making such a comprehensive exploration on Scientology. As an ex-Scientologist who was indoctrinated from birth, I can say with confidence all of this is 100 percent true, and the damage Scientology encroaches on a child's development, not to mention a family's as a whole, is indelible and everlasting-- it truly never leaves you. I mourn the person I could have been if it weren't for this grotesque parody of a religion.
Even if the guy lived, it is extremely messed up and dangerous to cut off someone's oxygen. About 4-5 minutes in and *permanent* brain damage is possible. 10 minutes in and the brain damage is almost guaranteed.
Right, but it was only a question of speed to their destination!! That's what makes him a sociopath! It was only to travel faster at higher altitude! That's totally messed up.
And they're dressed exactly the same down to the sunglasses. Ellis intentionally put Cruise in there to be Bateman's real life doppelganger. If you pay close attention in Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick piled on. He used the "Yale thing" gag from American Psycho in the scene where Cruise is humiliated and called a homosexual. Another elevator scene, later in the film shows Kandinsky's "Counterweights" in Cruise's character's office elevator. A counterweight implies equivalence - meaning Kubrick's insults were target at Cruise not his character. PT Anderson carried the joke forward in Magnolia with the Zarathustra 2001 opening and Tom's "Superman" comment, and Spielberg picked up on it in Ready Player One - the Cocktails & Dreams sign in that film is a callback to Bateman getting the name of the movie he liked wrong when he talks to Cruise. He called it "Bartender" and Cruise has to correct him and tell him it's "Cocktail." These artists do not care for that person at all. Can you imagine being humiliated forever on screen by the worlds best directors? That's what happened to Tom.
Right? I always enjoy the history of numbers and racketeering. Where the United States murdered and imprisoned those responsible for racketeering and then changed the name to lottery and now it is state run. The adds run more in low poverty areas. A second way to tax the poor and needy with no middlemen to get in the way. Most things are optics.
Thanks a lot 🙏 I watched some videos on scientology but never really got out of it what it's about. You managed to fill that gap in less than 5 Minutes 👏👏👏
Because it never happened. No pilot would ever do something so reckless, then JOKE about it on TV. The FAA would have buried him, and he would have lost his license.
@looneyburgmusic except he's a millionaire, and the guy never made a complaint. So they can't really do anything. You can say you did whatever but unless they actually do an investigation nothing will happen.
@@Kolazola Don't need to have someone make a complaint. Cruise going on TV and saying everything he did would have been more than enough to trigger an FAA investigation, had this "story' actually happened. Most likely, either Cruise, or his attorney, (or perhaps agent), got a call from the FAA after this show aired, asking if he was just playing up for the audience, or if he was even remotely serious.
@@looneyburgmusicehhh yes they do lmao, there have been 3 crashes at an airfield near my home, all of them owned by rich people, FAA didn't do shit for them, not a single investigation, and you can find instances of aircraft near crashes etc across the country that the FAA just doesn't investigate. Only time FAA will truly give a shit is if it's a major news headline, or a major airline FAA only cares if the people care, if the people don't care FAA won't give a shit if some rich dude is blowing money and doing dangerous shit, again 3 crashes in about a 2 year period, zero investigation
Scientology tried making me "disconnect" from my entire family years ago when they tricked my parents into sending me to their drug rehab in Colorado. Nobody was even told it was scientology until I got there and found out my treatment was reading the first 8 books of Dianetics. I wasn't even able to contact my parents until I was there for a little over 30 days.
The irony of that interview with Letterman where Cruise laughs uncontrollably while describing cutting off someone's oxygen is that i've never seen him act more human. You almost forget he's Tom Cruise the celebrity, and are just watching some random guy laughing about something he is recalling from the past. THEN you realize he's talking about cutting off someone's oxygen.
It was supplemental oxygen, not his entire air supply. That’s why the passenger fell asleep and woke up without any issues. Maybe don’t believe everything some dumb-tuber tells you?🤷♂️ Edit: is it really that hard for you dummies to do your own research? This was one instance of Tom Cruise doing this to a passenger over 20-years ago, and the guy was fine. It was a non-incident. Do you not understand that Patrick CC has an incentive to LIE and stretch the truth so he gets more views/clicks/money?
Toms childhood mental and physical trauma and his dyslexia made him a ideal target for the scientology. His belief systems and thinking behaviors are gravely influenced by those traumas. They found a victim and victimized him more
@@trawlins396 it’s easy to say when it’s not happening to yourself, get in his mindset, sometimes you have to change perspective to see the full picture

The David Letterman interview is so very telling. Cruise is grinning cheek to cheek and can't breathe laughing, while Letterman is deeply concerned. Nervously laughing. Immediately pointing out how its attempted manslaughter.
@@shadydealzYes. These interviews are usually to promote movies. Actors know every question days before shooting with Letterman/Kimmel/Fallon etc, that’s how it works. In a script there’s usually “insert joke here” or “break for 5 seconds laugh from audience” etc
@@marksugary705 Sarcasm undetected, prob because the comment wasn't for you lol. I mean I am well aware of the scripted and rehearsed aspect. Plenty of comedians, actors and celebrities alike are given wiggle room for adlib or riffing. As someone who grew up watching late night TV even as a kid, watching craig ferguson and letterman. Plenty of candid off script moments.
The whole concept of a “silent birth” is chilling and completely showcases a basic lack of empathy for the excruciating pain women go through during natural childbirth
Many women make way too much noise in child birth.. all that screaming and wailing.. not necessary at all If you educate yourself, use the breathing techniques, and don't lay down on a bed acting like your sick and going against gravity, been confined by rules and drs It really doesn't need to be so loud and all that screaming Women are not educated in this. I did it, very quiet controlled births, 4 of them And I'm not a scientologist.... Just saying
@@tamzenkarmathere is no such thing as how much noise one should be making during birth, you are bringing new life on earth and should be as loud or as quiet as you want to, it’s not a competition on who does it better
I can see a tell all documentary come out, "Tom's Clues.." piecing together all these subtle moments of insanity, the cover of course the moment on the yellow couch with Oprah
The thing about the South Park episode back in the days was that the story about Scientology is as crazy as most of their other episodes. It literally blended in so perfectly that I didnt realize until much later.
Well, it was the red carpet. He must have spent hours getting ready, and some guys comes and squirts water on him. It is frustrating. Tom's reaction wasn't that bad
Got to say, I had no idea Katie Holmes was such a G. To be able to calmly plan all that and ruthlessly cut off all ties to her life while part of scientology is pretty hard-core. Props to her
Her father is a litigation lawyer, & during that time she’d been been working with Adam Sandler on Jack & Jill and it’s been rumoured the movie was just a cover for her, gave her the freedom to be away for months & to make arrangements and as a closed set & his company happy madison it allowed for privacy. She’s hardly in the film.
I remember being a kid in the 1980s when Dianetics commercials used to be on TV. They were so bizarre, I remember asking my mom what it was, she said it was a scam. She was right.
Damn I remember reading one of those books in the 90s. First 100 pages made a little sense. Afterwards I was like wtf. Decades later...wow....i was right stopping that reading
When I was on New York, I saw the Scientology building and a friend of mine were like wtf, let's go. They showed us a video that was one of the best, most awe inspiring videos I've ever seen. It was in a small theater with amazing sound and obviously produced by someone in Hollywood. I FELT something and when it was done, knowing they're evil, I quickly shook it off. They realized that so they played me a second video and when that second video didn't work, they played a third. Then they tried to SELL ME two books. You literally have to buy in to get more of their propaganda. Then they had us take a screening test. I got kicked out after taking mine ... likely because the screening is designed to kick out people who think critically. My friend got taken to another room where they once again tried getting him to buy Dianetics and some other book. Fun fact: That same friend is now a member of a hippie cult in upstate New York. Something about that screening test does a great job at figuring out who is stupid enough to become their mark.
My then-teenaged son used to read a lot of science fiction novels in the early '90s. One day I was cleaning his room and found a bunch of paperbacks by L. Ron Hubbard. I didn't know much about him at the time, but I had a weird, uneasy feeling about it.
*this has nothing to do with the award but, the episodes related to that cult: I think they did it because they've lost a friend to Sc's antics. Anyone who's ever had a cult take away their beloved friends and family, they probably could relate seeing the episodes.
@@platonicbuu7454 I'm well aware thanks. I'm actually sitting in my lake house would you like a picture of the view? While you sit there hoping for half a day off LMAO
@@elidragomIts pretty spot on. Hubbard copied the idea of Dianetics from somebody else, he just spun it off into a global franchise because he saw his opportunity.
And it's also incredibly sad that, even after that AND the mormon episodes, people STILL continue to believe in them.... it truly is easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they've been fooled.
Not defending Scientology, but South Park can make anything look ridiculous. Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, the whole Old Testament is just sci-fi/fantasy story. God wirelessly r**ing Mary. Jesus being born. All his miracles and his death... If South Park made a similar episode about Christianity. It would probably be even more ridiculous than the Scientology one.
As someone who's had a christian cult phase (won't specify which one), cult brainwashing is antifragile Antifragility: something that benefits from adversity and mockery within certain parameters. Objective proof against a core aspect of your religion? That's just a test of faith, be more zealous. Internal contradictions? No, I guess I have much to learn, be more humble, follow and learn.
If a religion dictates the level of involvement a person has within it, either by revoking privileges, shunning, excommunication, or criticism/undue pressure, : ITS A CULT

@@grimmingpitb461and how many of those are aimed at bringing people together and not making an enemy. Opposite team, other religion, different politics. All those do is divide and put an “us vs them” belief in your head. It’s not great.
I cant believe im going to retell thus story. Years ago around early 2000s, they used to have Scientologists set up around Times Square. I was on my way home from school and they pulled me over asking me if I wanted to take some stress test. I said sure. They led me to their church and it was the weirdest experience ever! Everyone was so damn happy to see me and incredibly welcoming. Im from NYC, so that was weird. Then they send me to a room where this guy asked me a bunch of questions, trying to basically make me question my own psychology and how i perceive the world. Asking me am i happy with life, things like that. I was very happy at the time, and he seemed almost disappointed that he couldnt find anything I could say was wrong with me. So eventually the session ended, and he knew he couldnt get through to me. So he offered me to buy the book Dianetics, but I turned it down. The last step was to go into a room like a theater and watch one of their films. Within 10 mins of watching it, i got violently ill and my stomach was turning. I had to run out of there and find the nearest bathroom, i was so sick. Thats when i knew something was wrong with this religion. I high tailed it out of there. Something didn't sit right with my spirit.
@@darthjaco5712 gosh it was 20 years ago but from what I remember, it was just telling the story and history of scientology, how it can change our lives, talked about L Ron Hubbard and the book, why people have the problems they do, etc...nothing specific happened and I wasn't necessarily disturbed, I just got really sick out of nowhere.
He has way too much power & influence to be considered a "victim" anymore. Maybe 20 years ago, but at this point he is firmly in the "complicit co-conspirator" camp.
The sad thing is I see a man who has completely lost himself. He is so empty in interviews. Nothing about him feels even remotely authentic. That's really tragically sad.
Psychopaths don't feel emotions. They learn how to appear that they do, to fit in. They become master manipulators as they do not feel guilt or remorse. At the beginning of American Psycho, Bateman explains that he wears a mask and underneath he is no-one.
I want to be mad at you for the 12 Ads that popped up throughout this video. But i'm almost impressed. I didn't know that somebody could put that many ads on an hour long video
I would blame UA-cam entirely for this. UA-cam for the past two months has been putting 2-3 ads everywhere an ad section would pop up in a video. I get ads on a 20mins video so much to the point of just closing UA-cam all together. I have UA-cam on my TV and I would play songs on it. I literally play Elton John old 1970s album that get less than 2mil views and I still get 2 ads and the start & the end of the vids. UA-cam is taking advantage of how much they're pumping their ads
Being cut off oxygen can also have long lasting effects on your brain. It is very disgusting how he told this story. And also: My sincere condolences. It is always hard to lose a loved one, especially under such circumstances
You’re too dumb to function. The pilots cut off supplemental oxygen but not air flow. The passenger was still breathing, and it’s why the passenger was totally fine afterwards. It’s scummy, but it’s not even criminal. It was basically a prank.
There's this stereotype that Americans are dumb, I'm starting to think it's not a stereotype. To be clear, I'm referring to the people who take the story at face value.
18:18 this is completely untrue. Tom Cruise did not climb the Burj Khalifa without a harness or rope - that is insane. If you mean, he climbed the stairs with permission and oversight from the building operations staff, and then sat at the lookout point at the top of the building without a harness or rope, then that would make sense; Will Smith did this with a harness.
If I willingly get in a cage with a tiger, and then happen to get out of there alive, am I a heroine or an idiot? Katie Holmes dated Tom Cruise, married him and had a child with him on her own free will. She knew he was a devout Scientologist. She knew what she was getting herself into. I’m happy she was able to get out of this before it was too late, but she put herself and her daughter in a very dangerous situation and she was 100% responsible for that.

Or, they simply don't spend their time fixating on celebrities and looking into their lives. Stop with this "if you don't think the same as me..." condescending nonsense. If people are focused on other things in their life, they simply will not know due to not having that knowledge base. There is nothing inherently valuable about paying attention to celebrities, and people certainly can't know all of them. If that's your thing, nothing wrong with that. My opinion is that it is a waste of energy and can give people the wrong priorities in life, especially since focus on celebrities is often with a negative mood. But, I'm certainly not going to be condescending to people for having different interests than me. I'm not sure why you are, or why you are acting like people are problematic, blind, and/or sheep if they don't focus on celebrities. One thing I can say is that you are perfectly suited to this modern world; a planet full of arrogant, hateful, condescending, closed-minded, and combative people. Congrats.
I don't know what's worse between joining Scientology with all your conscience or being born into this sect to two Scientologist parents without really having a choice.
I'd honestly say being born into it is worst. You never even had a chance there. But joining while being completely aware of what you're doing and putting complete thought behind that decision means you did it to yourself right?
Former Scientologist here. My parents were in the Sea Org and I was aggressively attempted to be recruited by the recruiters at Celebrity Center international in LA. I’m not saying this like “who wants to touch me” but just to say I have first hand experience in regards to how the church is the most successful, calculated, organized, and financially stable, cult to ever exist. Stay far away. They have ties in some very low and high places. Edited to add: Awesome video Patrick!! This was very well researched and I can’t poke any holes in it. Great stuff as always man!
I have close relatives who were born into the church and both my parents met there. My relatives have children who now attend exclusively Scientology schools. I love them but would be terrified to challenge the church in any way that they could hear of it, and that's a shame. Also hard to feel able to be myself in their presence as someone who is medicated for ADHD. Glad you got out, hope you're still able to have a relationship with those that remain.
Can you tell us more about the day-to-day life of a Sea Org member? In what way does Scientology give something back to its members in exchange for those huge donations? And does Scientology allow any criticism at all, or is it as black and white as it is often portrayed?
I'm dating the daughter of ex-scientologists shits crazy and how crazy accurate this video is. The auditing is crazy. Her dad was a high level auditor and he could have me crying and opening up in a few sentences. There's so many layers to this
I ean the story checks out: Abusive father, moved around a lot so he couldn't make any long lasting relationships, further isolated by being a celeb and then lured into a cult. He's been a victim since a child.
@@drosophilamelanogaster3121Most adults who were raised by that don’t have literal army of slaves who according to ex people associated with Scientology would even cover up a murder if it was committed. And they don’t have $700m dollars and access to everything in the world
I was going to comment something along the lines of "Tom Cruise sucks," but then I realized he has done quite a few films that I really like. The ones that come to mind are Risky Buisness, The Outsiders, The Color of Money, Interview with a Vampire, The Firm, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow, and American Made. He has done some films I didn't care for, but yeah he has a pretty impressive filmography now that I think about it.
He's an all time best at what he does. Who he is, is not part of any of that. Look at the NFL, rap stars, etc. They aren't there to be your role model unless they want to. He's a great movie star. Period.
53:20 He is spot on about masking problems vs getting to the root of them and dealing with any issues. He’s just insanely wrong about the solution or possible healthy, reasonable solutions or strategies.
Well, to be fair, he doesn't go into much detail about alternative therapies treatments. He just strongly criticises anti-psychotic drugs and their use/abuse by the medical establishment. Very briefly he mentioned vitamins and exercise. We know there is a correlation with (low) vit D and depression and also how an exercise regime (cardio / weight training) can help with depression/anxiety and often better than psych-drugs (SSRIs, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, ...) many of which have 'suicidal ideation' as a side-effect! So, while I too have no truck with the Scientology BS, in this instance Mr TC is 100% on target.
She's not missing. People know where she is, the police have talked to her, she's working at a facility where they are preserving L Ron's deluded nonsense. There is no indication that she wants to leave and is probably happy doing what she's doing because she thinks she is doing important work. She is a second or 3rd generation Scientologist who has known nothing else. I'm not defending any of this. She's clearly being controlled and hidden away but asking where is Shelly isn't quite the gotcha that it was a decade ago.
Thanks so much! Ex-Sea Org member & ex-scientologist here! Thank you infinity ♾️! Perfect video! I have been wishing that someone would come out with a very good one, especially about Tom Cruise - just like this one 💯!
@@deighv Thank you! I am doing a lot better than I was back then. I am still working my way through therapy & sometimes with accepting it all. I hope you're doing well, too!
I was 11 or 12 when I first found out about Scientology, I was at a new age expo called Mind Body Spirit in Melbourne Australia while my mom was working at one of the stalls, i walked past the Scientology stall and was watching what they were doing. A lady called me over and did the audit on me, starting with easy questions and then probing and prodding to find deeper information when the needle would flicker. I realised during, that the needle moves with grip strength on the rods, the lighter you hold, the less it moves, the harder you squeeze, the more it goes crazy. Anyway after spilling some minor life troubles that an 11 year old has, after getting interrogated i left and thought about what had happened. The next day and the following days of the expo (went for about a week in think) i would go back and see a new person at the Scientology stall, get a new audit and squeeze the absolute fuck out of the cylinders to make the test go haywire lol was the funniest shit watching them lose thier mind and get confused to why my readings were of the charts.
Tom Cruise was the inspiration bc he’s a character in the American Psycho novel. Patrick Bateman runs into Tom Cruise in an elevator and mistakenly compliments his performance in the movie “Bartenders” instead of “Cocktail”. When he figures out the blunder it triggers a nervous breakdown in Bateman.
Yeah, but info like that is something the host of this video does not know.... because this was not researched...it was just cobbled together. Welcome to youtube.
Correct. This video, when it comes to analyzing Tom Cruise is stained to the core, because it conveniently forgets to mention that Christian Bale, in the movie, pretty much follows the original Patrick Bateman from the book, almost word by word.
I like his vids but he's very disconnected when it comes to his sponsors. But it must be a sad life when it comes to making money from YT. YT don't monetise ya vids and damn near every advertiser on YT is immoral crap like gambling apps, crappy products that are pretty much scams or just straight up scams. Like that buy a square metre of land and call ya self a king bs. 🤷♂😕
Kids cannot gamble, it is illegal lmao, you have to be 18 or older depending on where you and he is very explicit on that, while I agree gambling is awful, there is nowhere he is saying TO gamble, it is merely an ad. There are plenty of UA-camrs that promote Better Help and promote Fum which are also two things that are detrimental to children but yet, nobody says anything.
@@aust0_o I was actually going to mention Fume as being one of the bs crappy scam products. As well as that bs scent flavoured water stuff and apparently better help is anything but and is pretty much a bs scam too. There's not many YT ads that aren't. But hey, vid creators gotta make money somehow I suppose.🤷♂😕
@@marcshields3677.... they were on separate oxygen, that is why he was able to cut it off.... Cruise made that very clear himself.... they don't simply all share oxygen in the cabin. Lol.... if that were true, they wouldn't need individual oxygen masks.
And what happens if the pilots run out of oxygen they crash and everyones dies so yo hell with the guys oxygen while they descend grow up there was no other possible solution the dudes flying the.damn thing need oxygen way more then the people sitting in the back would you prefer to breath for 2 minutes and die in a horrible burning crash or give up a couple minutes of breathing to land safely
TOM'S AGENT "Have you decided which story you'll tell on Letterman? And remember Tom, and I can't stress this enough, you need to pick something that's light and funny and humanizes you." TOM "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell the hilarious story of when I might have caused someone's brain damage by cutting off their oxygen." TOM'S AGENT "Have you ever thought about not doing that and taking that story to your grave?" *Tom laughs maniacally
He laughs like the oxygen is getting cut off from his own brain at high altitude. Seriously. One of the side effects of hypoxia is uncontrollable laughter.
I was always confused why Tom Cruise hasn't been "cancelled" yet, he's literally the top leader of the fucking scientologists, why is everyone okay with that?
As a child i actually attended one of their "induction tests" with my mother who was told she could join without changing her religion. Needless to say we were flying out of there when one of the first questions was asking about our opinions on mass self ending and the very next question asked if we would ever consider taking part in one. Even as a child i knew something was wrong with those questions and this was before the south park episode aired so i genuinely had no clue about theor beliefs just what the auditors told mum and myself and whatever i bothered to read from the Dianetics book we got given for free with our $200 tests.
My grandfather joined the church of Scientology and it destroyed the family. One day he just left his wife and 3 kids…without a warning. It caused my grandmother to have a nervous breakdown and my father at age 11 had to put her in the mental hospital, get a job and go into government housing. Pray for my dad. 🙏🏻😟 he still suffers.
So did your father get a job at 11 am , pm , or 11 years old ? I guess my real question is , why lie about something the way you just did , and do you know what shame is ?
It was when he turned his back on his daughter, I knew he was not right in the head. He has the money to retire and enjoy his kids with style yet he gives it to a religion. It’s crazy!
He was abused and this made him susceptible to this cult. That coupled with his narcissism means that he will never admit he was duped, & never admit he was wrong about anything. It’s really sick.
@Based_Gigachad_001Somehow I have a feeling you're a kid. So this is pretty rich. Did you grow up in the 90s? Did you watch talk show hosts like David Letterman, Jay Leno or Conan O Brian before today's recent sanitized ones? Do you realize that David Letterman is playing the straight man in that bit to try to get a reaction from Tom? Like hosts used to always do? No? Then stop calling people little bros kid.

After watching the interview, I found a new appreciation of Christian Bale's acting in American Psycho. He perfectly nailed it
He also thanked Satan in his Golden Globe speech for inspiring the character of Cheney.
@WNT2BLV and then I stopped watching his films😢. Except.. Equilibrium! Otherwise I don't trust him at all. He's Hollywood...

I never know what too think when people like Bale thanks satan in their speech etc? Are they mocking, trying too get attention or are they genuinely a satanist? And are we at a place where people can just say that, and the world isn't shocked or disgusted etc etc?
What do you think, if you don't mind me asking?
Jesus is Lord!
that was not the interview...you can tell. It's hard to find the date but apparently the date was 2004, and i believe so as Tom cruise's face started to change circa 2000s, it got wider and maybe he got jaw implants or something, can't confirm but his appearance started to change. His face before 1994 had a much younger look to it. So it was a different interview, i believe it was on some rosie show or something
@@olgacouzins2638he was calling Cheney the devil.
You know you’ve crossed a line when Letterman can’t even fake a laugh and has to literally remind him that to regular humans what he did was a crime
By the end of that clip, Letterman was laughing AT Cruise, not with him.
He must really be CEO of it all.
Yup
The fact the crowd keeps laughing at the oxygen story while the presentator is just thinking 'what the fuck' is so distopian and just straight up looks like a scene from the first joker movie
Agreed, its an example of societal and "pretty privilege." If that had been a tatted up ex\current con, it would have been seen as dangerous and reckless, not humorous. Now, the fear that Scientology evokes through vengeance is an additional layer. #oursocietyhasnoprinciplesleft

They add a laugh track for these kinds of shows when the shit isn't actually funny, and it prompts stupid people watching at home to laugh. It's why Fallon and Kimmel have lasted as long as they have.
This is an EXCELLENT profile on Cruise. Well done, well narrated and well researched. Good job.
Absolutely Agree!! ❤
Now we know why Tom Cruise didn’t play the Joker:
HE’S OVERQUALIFIED!
He also couldn't see over the counter in the bank robbery scene.
Joker is a complex charecter as played by ...joquin? No idea how to spell that. If cruise played it it would make him 2 dimensional.

David Letterman: "Isn't that attempted manslaughter?"
Tom Cruise and the audience: *Laughter intensifies*
Yeah, I was like - wtf is wrong with the audience, I understand they probably had the "now laugh" sign up, but still sounded like the whole room was filled with scientologists...
1) The interviewer laughed too
2) It is a story (history)
3) It is really funny how he (without oxygen) acted
4) They had to do it, it was not for fun
The audience laughing was probably added afterwards
@@badmaniak They had to do it? no they didn't have to fly that high in the first place and laughing about him "sleeping the whole way" is just maniacal
HORRIBLE!!! Yes, attempted manslaughter. Shows Tom is a sadistic fool.
Christine Bale taking inspiration from Tom Cruise to play Patrick Bateman is even funnier since there is a scene in the book where Patrick and Tom meet in an elevator and its one of the more embarrassing interactions Patrick has
That is not a fact, though.
Great observation
@@Katsu_ragi Try and actually read the book. That's a real scene.
One of my main takeaways from this was how sad it is that the education system failed Tom so badly that the only person he found any help from was an insidious, self-proclaimed scammer.

Yup.

how can you interact with non scientologists to make hit movies but not interact with your child age daughter because she's not in your cult?

"I was a functional illiterate"
"I became a Scientologist"
That explained everything.
So now he is literate and successful but he is still shilling for a destructive cult that destroys lives other than his so why should his fans care?
He is a narcissist…
You know that dyslexia effects a lot of people who are very intelligent right? You could call Tom cruise a retard without calling everyone born with a disadvantage a retard aswell
He’s one twisted little dude
He probably believes that Scientology "cured" his illiteracy/dyslexia through a form of auditing or something. That's what happened to David Miscavige (current cult leader of Scientology,) I guess his father got him involved in Scientology and they allegedly "cured" him of his asthma which caused him to become deeply interested and probably obsessed with Scientology. It seems like a lot of Scientologists think that Scientology saved their lives (or is going to save their lives) in some way which leads to them becoming more involved.
He abandons his young daughter and manipulates his older kids into not talking to their mom Nicole, hes a piece of work.
work? what an odd way to spell shit
his other wife Kate holmes wasnt exactly the best folk either
Calling psychiatry “pseudo science” while believing in the Galactic Emperor Zenu is aggressively hypocritical.
They still believed in delulu lol
This is a good example to cite about whataboutism, and how and why it's a fallacy. The question that clears the mind of such trash is "why not both?".
Psychiatry may have been hijacked by big pharma, but engrams is just gibberish, and Zenu is lazy character writing.
False equivilent much? I'm not too fond of either organization but I know that Psychiatry is basically a guessing game, even at the highest levels. At least Scientology tries to use other homeopathic methods instead of instantly prescribing mind-altering meds. Also blindly following a Government ran organization is exactly as flawed as following a Galatic space God. Both are taking advantage of sick people for profit. I would say that Scientology is hurting much much much fewer people than the leading Mental Health Institutions of the world are. But, I would also say that the massive Mental Heath machine can help a lot more people than Scientology can.
It's beyond hypocritical. it's insanely deluded.
Yeah the guy who was a below average sci-fi writer is totally believable and absolutely correct when it comes to a spiritual religion.

And Trump is the greatest president in history
He is protecting them. From himself.
The two adopted kids, who jump when he tells them to, ADORE him, because he supports them financially. His ONE BIOLOGICAL child Suri, is the one he abandoned. She took CRUISE off her name about 3 weeks ago, and now her legal name is SURI NOELLE. Tom Cruise is the kind of rich DEAD BEAT DADS. When he's OLD he will see the error of his ways, but it's even too late now. Because Suri want's NOTHING to do with him. Who can blame her.
10:55 Just to put it into perspective, Top Gun earning almost $360,000,000 in 1986 would be over a BILLION today.

Clueless Cruise
As a neurobiologist I can concur.
One of the smartest things I’ve ever done, was escaping from a Scientology center in 1978, when I was 10 years old. This was in Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, Miami, Florida. I was fascinated by display books in the window that had an erupting volcano on the cover. I had no idea what Dianetics was. A woman came out and asked me if I wanted to learn more, and led me inside. She took me to a room and said she would be right back with someone else, and closed the door. I sat there in the empty room, waiting, getting nervous, feeling vulnerable, realized that I had just followed a stranger away. I got up and ran out as fast as I could. It turns out I had better sense than all of the adults who get into Scientology.
What Tom Cruise is doing, promoting this abusive scam that is robbing money from people who can’t afford it, and destroying their personal relationships- it’s unforgivable. I haven’t paid to see a Tom Cruise movie in over 10 years.
I had a, friend who joined that. I met her after abd she always has to write notes to people re-explaining her words, which is irritating. I wonder if this is why.

Boycotting Tom Cruise is such a great idea. I'm joining the movement.
I have a friend who worked in downtown Portland, at a local cafe. A block or so away the Scientologists have taken over an old building as one of their headquarters. A group of about eight of them would come to this cafe and order lunch. They were quiet and robotic, according to my friend. They would sit at a table and eat and NOT ONE PERSON would SAY ANYTHING. They would sit in complete SILENCE and pretty much freaked out the staff working in the cafe. They seemed "like such miserable people" according to my friend. LOL... Years ago, in the early 1990s, I was downtown and this Scientologist guy tried to lure me in. I was NOT impressed and did NOT fall into the trap. NOPE. Not interested.
They were allowed to eat out?

The reason that South Park was so damaging to scientology is because most of them DON'T believe those things. Only the people who have paid absurd amounts of money actually get to hear the lore about Xenu. People who weren't in that deep, which is most of them, heard about that episode and many of them realized how ridiculous it all is and left scientology before they got too sucked into it.
That's very interesting point. I though they already know that shit. Wow
@@laius6047 It is like with every cult - would you confront the people instantly with the full blast, then they would run away screaming.
Take Creationism - you start with being saved, with hope, with the promise to OWN Truth, moral, goodness, and not with all science is wrong, the earth is 6,000 years old, there was a global flood, ALL landlife and ALL humans spread out from ONE boat, of talking donkeys and talking burning bushes, of the good LOVING God torturing his most faithful servant nearly to death, killing his livestock, his servants, his family, just because he made a bet with the devil.
Take fascism - what is bad about the Pride for your Nation, with Honour, with Duty, with solidarity of the "Volk" (people), with National symbols and amazing, giant "rituals", with your duty to protect your Fatherland against all threats - all virtues that in reasonable levels is nothing critical. But then you move on to a Nazion that takes over total control to protect your Nation. takes over all media, takes over the control over police, over the military, and selects target groups to harass and focus the hate of the people onto. For outsiders it is more obvious, US people largely learned to know fascism only with the war, saw germans and Nazis only since late 1944, after the invasion.
And between 1933 and 1939, in the US there was also a fascist movement - in 1939, just months before the outbreak of war, they could fill the Madison Square Garden with 25,000 people, in brown uniforms.
Take Trumpism - oh, this guy is entertaining, fun to listen to, he is SOOOO successful, he MUST be talented - the sharks, Hannibal Lecter, Haitians eating cats and dogs, the Demonrat Satanist pedophiles come later.
The list could be endless.
What is important is that the patterns how the psychology of people is exploited is repeating.
It is easy to start with some "cult" that you find bewildering anyhow and there find the patterns and how they work, as training that you can then question those ideas and movements that appeal to you or that you hold on to.
So to speak, ah, that sounds interesting, and INSTANTLY make the leap "Let's find out what the fundamental ideas are".
Yeah it’s even more messed up is that Isaac Hayes, who was the voice of chef, was actually a Scientologist and was really offended by that episode. He quit the show soon after that.
and imo i think it also showed how much of a false threat scientology really was. like everyone was afraid of speaking about them and getting sued, then matt and trey do it, get threatened yet nothing happens.
@@CesarR1037 Idk how true this is but according to Issac Hayes' son, that's not the whole story; Hayes suffered a massive stroke around that time, which left him without the ability to speak. He was in no position to voluntarily leave the show, as he wasn't all that aware mentally at the time, so someone in his inner circle- who all happened to be scientologists- Made the decision *for* him essentially.
Looking at Tom Cruise wearing that silly made up "medal of valor" was hilarious. He looked so stupid. He's in love with the power, and with being ADORED by all those hangers on. So sad. He's pathetic.
Seeing his background, of how he was abused and uncared for by the one man who you hope will always be on your side, I see why, but can't justify this behaviour.

Or they're blackmailing him. Scientology makes people record their worst memories on video camera and they keep the tapes.
@@clearcutter74most probably
scared? he probably the next in line to lead lol
Maybe he had what it took to be successful, but he still had a big hole in his life. That hole was filled by this ideology. For other people it could have been another ideology or drugs or whatever.
He is gay. His success is acting straight. Rock Hudson and many others play it. Females get opf on him. They are dumb. Society is bloody mess😂
Thanks so much for making such a comprehensive exploration on Scientology. As an ex-Scientologist who was indoctrinated from birth, I can say with confidence all of this is 100 percent true, and the damage Scientology encroaches on a child's development, not to mention a family's as a whole, is indelible and everlasting-- it truly never leaves you.
I mourn the person I could have been if it weren't for this grotesque parody of a religion.
Even if the guy lived, it is extremely messed up and dangerous to cut off someone's oxygen. About 4-5 minutes in and *permanent* brain damage is possible. 10 minutes in and the brain damage is almost guaranteed.
complete sociopath
It was a prank.
Yep, but a plane can dive really fast to altitude that doesn't require oxygen max. Much less that 4-5 minutes.
What's a little hypoxia between friends...
Right, but it was only a question of speed to their destination!! That's what makes him a sociopath! It was only to travel faster at higher altitude! That's totally messed up.
In the book, Patrick Bateman actually meets Tom Cruise in the elevator of his building.
I read this book while on my honeymoon! Loved it!
Read it in 2015. What a book!
And they're dressed exactly the same down to the sunglasses. Ellis intentionally put Cruise in there to be Bateman's real life doppelganger. If you pay close attention in Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick piled on. He used the "Yale thing" gag from American Psycho in the scene where Cruise is humiliated and called a homosexual. Another elevator scene, later in the film shows Kandinsky's "Counterweights" in Cruise's character's office elevator. A counterweight implies equivalence - meaning Kubrick's insults were target at Cruise not his character. PT Anderson carried the joke forward in Magnolia with the Zarathustra 2001 opening and Tom's "Superman" comment, and Spielberg picked up on it in Ready Player One - the Cocktails & Dreams sign in that film is a callback to Bateman getting the name of the movie he liked wrong when he talks to Cruise. He called it "Bartender" and Cruise has to correct him and tell him it's "Cocktail." These artists do not care for that person at all. Can you imagine being humiliated forever on screen by the worlds best directors? That's what happened to Tom.
@qwz180 and dontcha just love the moment when Bateman connects with Bono at the U2 concert? The implications are beautiful.
And Tom Cruise creeps him out
IRS gets Al Capone in prison. Scientology blackmails IRS and grants tax exempt status. What a pathetic system we live in.
Right? I always enjoy the history of numbers and racketeering. Where the United States murdered and imprisoned those responsible for racketeering and then changed the name to lottery and now it is state run. The adds run more in low poverty areas. A second way to tax the poor and needy with no middlemen to get in the way. Most things are optics.

Because it never happened.
No pilot would ever do something so reckless, then JOKE about it on TV.
The FAA would have buried him, and he would have lost his license.
@looneyburgmusic except he's a millionaire, and the guy never made a complaint. So they can't really do anything. You can say you did whatever but unless they actually do an investigation nothing will happen.
@@Kolazola Don't need to have someone make a complaint. Cruise going on TV and saying everything he did would have been more than enough to trigger an FAA investigation, had this "story' actually happened.
Most likely, either Cruise, or his attorney, (or perhaps agent), got a call from the FAA after this show aired, asking if he was just playing up for the audience, or if he was even remotely serious.
@@Kolazola The FAA doesn't screw around when it comes to aircraft safety.
@@looneyburgmusicehhh yes they do lmao, there have been 3 crashes at an airfield near my home, all of them owned by rich people, FAA didn't do shit for them, not a single investigation, and you can find instances of aircraft near crashes etc across the country that the FAA just doesn't investigate. Only time FAA will truly give a shit is if it's a major news headline, or a major airline
FAA only cares if the people care, if the people don't care FAA won't give a shit if some rich dude is blowing money and doing dangerous shit, again 3 crashes in about a 2 year period, zero investigation
Scientology tried making me "disconnect" from my entire family years ago when they tricked my parents into sending me to their drug rehab in Colorado. Nobody was even told it was scientology until I got there and found out my treatment was reading the first 8 books of Dianetics.

The irony of that interview with Letterman where Cruise laughs uncontrollably while describing cutting off someone's oxygen is that i've never seen him act more human.
You almost forget he's Tom Cruise the celebrity, and are just watching some random guy laughing about something he is recalling from the past.
THEN you realize he's talking about cutting off someone's oxygen.
Made up story. He's telling a tall tale.

It was supplemental oxygen, not his entire air supply.
That’s why the passenger fell asleep and woke up without any issues.

Do you not understand that Patrick CC has an incentive to LIE and stretch the truth so he gets more views/clicks/money?
2:03 Letterman was very uncomfortable.
Toms childhood mental and physical trauma and his dyslexia made him a ideal target for the scientology. His belief systems and thinking behaviors are gravely influenced by those traumas. They found a victim and victimized him more

@@shadydealzYes. These interviews are usually to promote movies. Actors know every question days before shooting with Letterman/Kimmel/Fallon etc, that’s how it works. In a script there’s usually “insert joke here” or “break for 5 seconds laugh from audience” etc
@@marksugary705 Sarcasm undetected, prob because the comment wasn't for you lol. I mean I am well aware of the scripted and rehearsed aspect.

The whole concept of a “silent birth” is chilling and completely showcases a basic lack of empathy for the excruciating pain women go through during natural childbirth
Many women make way too much noise in child birth.. all that screaming and wailing.. not necessary at all

Damn I remember reading one of those books in the 90s. First 100 pages made a little sense. Afterwards I was like wtf. Decades later...wow....i was right stopping that reading
@@jeanneganrude8549They often are. ❤
When I was on New York, I saw the Scientology building and a friend of mine were like wtf, let's go.
They showed us a video that was one of the best, most awe inspiring videos I've ever seen. It was in a small theater with amazing sound and obviously produced by someone in Hollywood. I FELT something and when it was done, knowing they're evil, I quickly shook it off.
They realized that so they played me a second video and when that second video didn't work, they played a third.
Then they tried to SELL ME two books. You literally have to buy in to get more of their propaganda.
Then they had us take a screening test. I got kicked out after taking mine ... likely because the screening is designed to kick out people who think critically.
My friend got taken to another room where they once again tried getting him to buy Dianetics and some other book. Fun fact: That same friend is now a member of a hippie cult in upstate New York.
Something about that screening test does a great job at figuring out who is stupid enough to become their mark.
My then-teenaged son used to read a lot of science fiction novels in the early '90s. One day I was cleaning his room and found a bunch of paperbacks by L. Ron Hubbard. I didn't know much about him at the time, but I had a weird, uneasy feeling about it.
South Park deserve an award for spreading truth & reality in the many places it’s twisted & died.
*this has nothing to do with the award but, the episodes related to that cult:
I think they did it because they've lost a friend to Sc's antics. Anyone who's ever had a cult take away their beloved friends and family, they probably could relate seeing the episodes.

Not defending Scientology, but South Park can make anything look ridiculous. Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, the whole Old Testament is just sci-fi/fantasy story. God wirelessly r**ing Mary.

Internal contradictions? No, I guess I have much to learn, be more humble, follow and learn.
If a religion dictates the level of involvement a person has within it, either by revoking privileges, shunning, excommunication, or criticism/undue pressure, : ITS A CULT

That guy with no oxygen has a lawsuit on his hands
I cant believe im going to retell thus story. Years ago around early 2000s, they used to have Scientologists set up around Times Square. I was on my way home from school and they pulled me over asking me if I wanted to take some stress test. I said sure. They led me to their church and it was the weirdest experience ever! Everyone was so damn happy to see me and incredibly welcoming. Im from NYC, so that was weird. Then they send me to a room where this guy asked me a bunch of questions, trying to basically make me question my own psychology and how i perceive the world. Asking me am i happy with life, things like that. I was very happy at the time, and he seemed almost disappointed that he couldnt find anything I could say was wrong with me. So eventually the session ended, and he knew he couldnt get through to me. So he offered me to buy the book Dianetics, but I turned it down. The last step was to go into a room like a theater and watch one of their films. Within 10 mins of watching it, i got violently ill and my stomach was turning. I had to run out of there and find the nearest bathroom, i was so sick. Thats when i knew something was wrong with this religion. I high tailed it out of there. Something didn't sit right with my spirit.

Psychopaths don't feel emotions. They learn how to appear that they do, to fit in. They become master manipulators as they do not feel guilt or remorse. At the beginning of American Psycho, Bateman explains that he wears a mask and underneath he is no-one.
I want to be mad at you for the 12 Ads that popped up throughout this video. But i'm almost impressed. I didn't know that somebody could put that many ads on an hour long video
I would blame UA-cam entirely for this. UA-cam for the past two months has been putting 2-3 ads everywhere an ad section would pop up in a video. I get ads on a 20mins video so much to the point of just closing UA-cam all together.
I have UA-cam on my TV and I would play songs on it. I literally play Elton John old 1970s album that get less than 2mil views and I still get 2 ads and the start & the end of the vids. UA-cam is taking advantage of how much they're pumping their ads
Cutting off oxygen is deadly, even for seconds. My brother died of an anoxic brain injury. Tom Cruise is disgusting.

Hes just joking
Payne stewart pro golfer was killed along with everyone, including both pilots, from oxygen deprivation.
You’re too dumb to function.
The pilots cut off supplemental oxygen but not air flow. The passenger was still breathing, and it’s why the passenger was totally fine afterwards.

Or, they simply don't spend their time fixating on celebrities and looking into their lives. Stop with this "if you don't think the same as me..." condescending nonsense. If people are focused on other things in their life, they simply will not know due to not having that knowledge base.
There is nothing inherently valuable about paying attention to celebrities, and people certainly can't know all of them. If that's your thing, nothing wrong with that. My opinion is that it is a waste of energy and can give people the wrong priorities in life, especially since focus on celebrities is often with a negative mood. But, I'm certainly not going to be condescending to people for having different interests than me. I'm not sure why you are, or why you are acting like people are problematic, blind, and/or sheep if they don't focus on celebrities.

I’m not saying this like “who wants to touch me” but just to say I have first hand experience in regards to how the church is the most successful, calculated, organized, and financially stable, cult to ever exist. Stay far away. They have ties in some very low and high places.
Edited to add: Awesome video Patrick!! This was very well researched and I can’t poke any holes in it. Great stuff as always man!
I have close relatives who were born into the church and both my parents met there. My relatives have children who now attend exclusively Scientology schools. I love them but would be terrified to challenge the church in any way that they could hear of it, and that's a shame. Also hard to feel able to be myself in their presence as someone who is medicated for ADHD. Glad you got out, hope you're still able to have a relationship with those that remain.
I hope you are living your best life

53:20 He is spot on about masking problems vs getting to the root of them and dealing with any issues. He’s just insanely wrong about the solution or possible healthy, reasonable solutions or strategies.
Well, to be fair, he doesn't go into much detail about alternative therapies treatments. He just strongly criticises anti-psychotic drugs and their use/abuse by the medical establishment. Very briefly he mentioned vitamins and exercise. We know there is a correlation with (low) vit D and depression and also how an exercise regime (cardio / weight training) can help with depression/anxiety and often better than psych-drugs (SSRIs, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, ...) many of which have 'suicidal ideation' as a side-effect!

She's not missing. People know where she is, the police have talked to her, she's working at a facility where they are preserving L Ron's deluded nonsense. There is no indication that she wants to leave and is probably happy doing what she's doing because she thinks she is doing important work. She is a second or 3rd generation Scientologist who has known nothing else. I'm not defending any of this. She's clearly being controlled and hidden away but asking where is Shelly isn't quite the gotcha that it was a decade ago.
Thanks so much! Ex-Sea Org member & ex-scientologist here! Thank you infinity ♾️! Perfect video! I have been wishing that someone would come out with a very good one, especially about Tom Cruise - just like this one 💯!
Glad you're out, hope you're well.
@@deighv Thank you! I am doing a lot better than I was back then. I am still working my way through therapy & sometimes with accepting it all. I hope you're doing well, too!
Nice to know Tom Cruise, one of the greatest actors in media entertainment history, worships a comic book.
Judaism is far more twisted and dangerous than Scientology.
So does the voice of Bart Simpson.
@@Attmay damnit didn't know that ahhhh oh well
And shuns his daughter
Great movie....Christian was superb
I was 11 or 12 when I first found out about Scientology, I was at a new age expo called Mind Body Spirit in Melbourne Australia while my mom was working at one of the stalls, i walked past the Scientology stall and was watching what they were doing. A lady called me over and did the audit on me, starting with easy questions and then probing and prodding to find deeper information when the needle would flicker.
I realised during, that the needle moves with grip strength on the rods, the lighter you hold, the less it moves, the harder you squeeze, the more it goes crazy. Anyway after spilling some minor life troubles that an 11 year old has, after getting interrogated i left and thought about what had happened.
The next day and the following days of the expo (went for about a week in think) i would go back and see a new person at the Scientology stall, get a new audit and squeeze the absolute fuck out of the cylinders to make the test go haywire lol was the funniest shit watching them lose thier mind and get confused to why my readings were of the charts.
You are the reincarnation of L Ron Hubbard…and you’re depressed 😉
It's smtg abt electrical conduction actually. Prob more surface area helps?
@@SpecialBlanket got no idea how it worked just realised that the more i squeezed the more it spiked, so yeah I guess it could be surface area
He’s a creep
You are AWESOME!
Tom Cruise was the inspiration bc he’s a character in the American Psycho novel. Patrick Bateman runs into Tom Cruise in an elevator and mistakenly compliments his performance in the movie “Bartenders” instead of “Cocktail”. When he figures out the blunder it triggers a nervous breakdown in Bateman.
Is that the only significance of Tom Cruise in the book? Does Bateman start acting like Tom Cruise or something?
Yeah, but info like that is something the host of this video does not know.... because this was not researched...it was just cobbled together. Welcome to youtube.
but why of all people did Brett Easton Ellis choose Tom Cruise to be someone that Bateman looks up to?
@@abstractvision Gee, I wonder why... No, in all fairness - in the 80's Tom was the biggest IT guy to ever IT. And Bateman has a boner for success.
Correct. This video, when it comes to analyzing Tom Cruise is stained to the core, because it conveniently forgets to mention that Christian Bale, in the movie, pretty much follows the original Patrick Bateman from the book, almost word by word.
Yes, what happened to those poor discarded children of Nicole Kidman? Those poor kids.
Spineless how you promote gambling to young people while also not warning of risks and only saying you can make money not lose it
I like his vids but he's very disconnected when it comes to his sponsors. But it must be a sad life when it comes to making money from YT. YT don't monetise ya vids and damn near every advertiser on YT is immoral crap like gambling apps, crappy products that are pretty much scams or just straight up scams. Like that buy a square metre of land and call ya self a king bs. 🤷♂😕
Kids cannot gamble, it is illegal lmao, you have to be 18 or older depending on where you and he is very explicit on that, while I agree gambling is awful, there is nowhere he is saying TO gamble, it is merely an ad. There are plenty of UA-camrs that promote Better Help and promote Fum which are also two things that are detrimental to children but yet, nobody says anything.
@@aust0_o I was actually going to mention Fume as being one of the bs crappy scam products. As well as that bs scent flavoured water stuff and apparently better help is anything but and is pretty much a bs scam too. There's not many YT ads that aren't. But hey, vid creators gotta make money somehow I suppose.🤷♂😕
@@aust0_othing is, in some places it's illegal to advertise gambling to kids, and lastly, kids do find ways to use those sites.
What did you expect from some cream cheese male making money off of "exposing" people
He didn’t "fall asleep". He was unconscious and could have died.
Nonsense. The cabin is full of oxygen.
@@marcshields3677if the cabin were “full” of oxygen then why would each person have an individual oxygen supply you dummy
@@marcshields3677.... they were on separate oxygen, that is why he was able to cut it off.... Cruise made that very clear himself.... they don't simply all share oxygen in the cabin.
Lol.... if that were true, they wouldn't need individual oxygen masks.
@marcshields3677
Right
And what happens if the pilots run out of oxygen they crash and everyones dies so yo hell with the guys oxygen while they descend grow up there was no other possible solution the dudes flying the.damn thing need oxygen way more then the people sitting in the back would you prefer to breath for 2 minutes and die in a horrible burning crash or give up a couple minutes of breathing to land safely
2:16 Tom Cruise would've been the PERFECT actor for American Psycho in all honesty. Christian Bale was right
His laugh never changed ahhhhh ahhhhh
TOM'S AGENT "Have you decided which story you'll tell on Letterman? And remember Tom, and I can't stress this enough, you need to pick something that's light and funny and humanizes you."
TOM "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell the hilarious story of when I might have caused someone's brain damage by cutting off their oxygen."
TOM'S AGENT "Have you ever thought about not doing that and taking that story to your grave?"
*Tom laughs maniacally
He laughs like the oxygen is getting cut off from his own brain at high altitude. Seriously. One of the side effects of hypoxia is uncontrollable laughter.
I think Gary Busey was his passenger...
You can clearly tell he's joking. I don't think it happened at all. I hate Tom cruise but yall nit picking
@@bonniegodin8810that's actually kind of funny but just as dark so am I not supposed to laugh?
He doesn’t have an agent and his old manager Paula Wagner now runs his film studio.
I was always confused why Tom Cruise hasn't been "cancelled" yet, he's literally the top leader of the fucking scientologists, why is everyone okay with that?
I agree. People don't care. It's very sad.
Who is the 'they'? Who should cancel him?
Think of them as Trump supporters. No matter what he does or says they will support and follow him ! It will never make sense but who cares!
Yes he has been "cancelled" multiple times. Where have you been?? Cancel culture is soo last year 😂 GET off the web
@@stevenb427 in 2022 he had one of the biggest box office hits of the year, doesn't look like he has been cancelled lol
He's always creeped me out... his intense gaze is one of someone who you don't want to upset or get them angry cause of a violent or man temper. Scary
Man temper?
@@greenbassboosts8872 it's a typo, I meant *mad temper
He's as scary as a fart in a hurricane even when acting like that.
@@Tekbörülike a child throwing a tantrum. Might have to spank him and put him in time out.
The guy just maintains eye contact
As a child i actually attended one of their "induction tests" with my mother who was told she could join without changing her religion. Needless to say we were flying out of there when one of the first questions was asking about our opinions on mass self ending and the very next question asked if we would ever consider taking part in one.
Even as a child i knew something was wrong with those questions and this was before the south park episode aired so i genuinely had no clue about theor beliefs just what the auditors told mum and myself and whatever i bothered to read from the Dianetics book we got given for free with our $200 tests.
Surprised the very next question wasn't "what's your preferred Kool aid flavour?"
My grandfather joined the church of Scientology and it destroyed the family.
One day he just left his wife and 3 kids…without a warning. It caused my grandmother to have a nervous breakdown and my father at age 11 had to put her in the mental hospital, get a job and go into government housing.
Pray for my dad. 🙏🏻😟 he still suffers.
I am so sorry.
Praying fixes all issues in America. Very ironic you ask for prays... 🤡
So did your father get a job at 11 am , pm , or 11 years old ? I guess my real question is , why lie about something the way you just did , and do you know what shame is ?
So Your family was fucked up by religion and You ask people for prayers? Seriously?
They have ruined so many families' lives and still do today... I wish you all well ❤
It was when he turned his back on his daughter, I knew he was not right in the head. He has the money to retire and enjoy his kids with style yet he gives it to a religion. It’s crazy!
Yup a parent that turns on their kid isn't worth trusting for anything in life.
He was abused and this made him susceptible to this cult. That coupled with his narcissism means that he will never admit he was duped, & never admit he was wrong about anything. It’s really sick.
@@Private-wj4nd I didn’t know he was abused.
Hollywood celebrities are fked up,,, even golden boys like denzel said he gave his soul to the devil and cuba gooding jr partied with diddy
Not a religion it's a cult
omg that story of cutting off the persons oxygen is wild
It was funny bro
@@capwbsure let me do that too you then.
Not wild .... criminal!
At least Patrick Bateman is just make-believe.
@Based_Gigachad_001Somehow I have a feeling you're a kid. So this is pretty rich. Did you grow up in the 90s? Did you watch talk show hosts like David Letterman, Jay Leno or Conan O Brian before today's recent sanitized ones? Do you realize that David Letterman is playing the straight man in that bit to try to get a reaction from Tom? Like hosts used to always do? No? Then stop calling people little bros kid.
Scary.
