4. It's like how the church of Scientology took over downtown Clearwater

Not that I’m saying that Scientology is a racist organization but it is an organization that has a lot of power there. Most of the buildings in downtown Clearwater are Scientology buildings.There are many places that you can not enter into there. I wanted to go investigate but my bf was too freaked out. We only drove through there. Saw a lot of people with walking around with the same type of clothing with folders - I think it was light blue shirts with navy pants or something like that. Money talks - they have bought up that town - legally.

In the ’90s, a Scientology magazine listed the church’s goals for 2000. Among them: make “Clearwater known as the first Scientology city in the world.”
