Re:travolta
If i had to guess scientology is a cult created to rival the illuminati. They might appear to be on our side (joy villa) but they are only allied against a common foe. Later they will need to be taken care of or they will try to do the same thing the cabal is doing.
Im familiar, but good for others.
My guess was re the current state of the cult may not be under control by the illuminati, a separate evil faction so to speak. Their god not being satan. So i posit some of them may act like we are allies because we are a tool to them. Enemy of enemy being a friend and such.
They could be one big cult as you allude, but my posit was they are a separate headed beast.
