A tribute to Tom Cruise from some kind of Scientology awards presentation. Clip # 1 features an intro by Scientology leader David Miscavige:
Clip #2 is the pro-wrestling-style opening to the Cruise video tribute, painting Cruise as some kind of Messianic figure:
Clip # 3 features Cruise hyping his detox program for 9/11 rescue workers. Tom at one point claims that, because he's a Scientologist, he immediately saw through the EPA's lies about the air quality in Manhattan after the attack. You need to be a Scientologist to know the government is full of shit, apparently:
Clip # 4 details Tom's efforts to help with America's educational crisis:
Clip # 5 concerns the Scientology line on psychiatric drugs, which the narrator proclaims are "at the heart of all educational failures.":
Clip #6 had a fucked-up link on the page I got it from so I couldn't get the embed code. Go here to see it. It's called "Cruise: Promotional Tool." In some ways it's the scariest of the bunch. Tom talks about a discussion he had with a young interviewer.
Clip # 7 is Tom ranting. Laughing like a maniac. Declaring that only a Scientologist can help a person who's been in an accident. Really, this dude is fucking insane:
Clip # 8 is Tom's acceptance speech. Mission: Impossible music plays as he takes the stage. He salutes Miscavige after that nutty Scientology ripped-off Navy fashion L. Ron Hubbard dreamed up (wonder how Naval folks feel about their stuff being mocked by a bunch of cultists). The idiots cheer him forever and blow horns. They sound like they've all been drinking. Scientologists apparently know how to party. Tom talks to L. Ron Hubbard as if he were not dead. I will not sleep tonight.
Update: The videos are already gone. The site I found them on no longer has them embedded. Cruise's people work fast. I guess you'll have to take my word for it that they were creepy and weird. Perhaps they will resurface somewhere else.
A question for Scientology defenders: The videos were a celebration of Tom Cruise and his beneficence. So, why have they been removed? Why were they not made public in the first place? Why is Scientology so ashamed of itself?
