rPooP

We want to thank all of our family and friends during these difficult times. Evidently if you don't pay up 'The Man' will shut down your website. Something about maintenance costs and server fees or whatever. I'd also like to thank the good people at Blogger who have partnered with us. We believe we have a lot to offer Blogger and this is going to be a win-win relationship. So you already know what to expect from us here at rPooP, sit back and wait to be bored off your ass!

Scientology and the Clearwater Police

Scientology snuck into Clearwater, Florida in 1978 under the assumed name of United Churches. Since then they have come to dominate the small town.

I lived in Clearwater for two years, working with a group which was helping people defrauded and abused by Scientology. During this time, police officers started to accept off duty jobs from Scientology. I documented the police officer's bias during that time. The police department accepted $176,000 a year from Scientology and was called by some "Scientology's police force."
