    Wouldn’t be a super Earth if they made that statement, more of a malignant narcissistic sociopathic Earth!

    Yeah, they built a wall, but then all the guards went to Portland to bash heads and shoot tear gas at mothers.

    In keeping with the Space Aliens cartoon….

    ~

    Scientology, the religion that’s got everything from space warlords to brain audits and Tom Cruise, now has your tax money too.

    According to federal data released earlier this month, the Trump administration awarded the tax-exempt, celebrity megachurch Paycheck Protection Program loans of up to $350,000 for its sites in New York, Florida, and Washington D.C., even though the PPP funds were meant to help small businesses weather the coronavirus pandemic, the Daily Beast Reports.

    The church reportedly claims that the disaster funds will go toward the support of 137 employees, but critics of Scientology point out that the religion’s various projects are almost entirely carried out by unpaid “volunteers” purely for the love of L. Ron…or something.

    The loudest voices among these whistleblowers are those of ex-Scientologist Leah Remini and former church spokesman Mike Rinder.

    “It’s insane,” Remini tells the Daily Beast. “Mike and I have tried to meet many times with the IRS, and the IRS knows what they’ve done.

    They’ve known that they’ve cleared the way for Scientology to misappropriate their money. It’s run like a business for profit. And this just says that!”

    Rinder adds, “The PPP loans were about ensuring that people don’t lose their jobs, and Scientology, when confronted about the fact that they don’t pay minimum wage or anything, say these people are volunteers!

    Staff members of Scientology organizations are ‘volunteers,’ they’re not employees, and they’re getting loans so that people don’t lose their jobs?”

    If we ever encounter aliens, and they’re like us, and stronger than us, they’ll kill us. Because that’s what we’ve always done.

    Our own history suggests that if they are more advanced and interact with us, we’re basically screwed.

    The nearest “Super Earth” is 16 light years away. With our current technology it would take approximately 300,000 years to arrive.

    If we go like conquerors we’ll likely get squished like a bug. If we swarm like locusts some will survive somewhere. If we flutter like butterflies they may find us colorful & amusing.

    “Good news and bad news. We’ve made contact with a highly-advanced alien civilization. The good news is that they’re sending us scientists who’ll teach us the secrets of clean energy, the cures for all diseases, and unlimited food production.”

    “What’s the bad news?”

    “They’re also sending missionaries.”
