SCIENTOLOGIST TURNCOAT FRAMED BY ANONYMOUS TIP

If you’ve seen the HBO Scientology documentary “Going Clear”, you saw a man named Tom DeVocht, an ex-confidant of church leader David Miscavige. DeVocht has left the church, and in the documentary spills some very nasty secrets about the church’s operations. Last Friday afternoon, two narcotics officers with the Burbank, California, police department showed up at DeVocht’s door on an anonymous tip, complete with dubious photographic evidence, that the former Scientology executive was selling drugs in the area. The photo showed him sitting in his car, holding “a quart-sized plastic bag with something white inside.” DeVocht says the cops told him, “Somebody dropped this off on my desk. I don’t know why it was on my desk. But we were tipped off that you might be dealing drugs, and the photos show you supposedly with drugs in your car.” DeVocht explained what they were seeing in the photographs. He and his girlfriend often go on hikes and like to carry snacks with them in his car. The quart bag he was holding, he pointed out, was filled with popcorn. DeVocht said he’s noticed private investigators watching him from a park near his home in the weeks since Going Clear’s release. DeVocht believes the anonymous set-up and harassment came from Scientology.
* I’d say something snarky here, but…well, you know. I have a family.
* What do they expect the guy to do? “Hey, Scientology, you got me pretty good there. I don’t know what I was thinking. I guess I’ll come back to your church after all.”
* Scientologists sound like a bunch of bratty little sisters who keep tattling and poking at you in the back seat until dad reaches behind and swats you, because you’re the oldest.
* You ask me Katie Holmes got away from Tom Cruise just in time.
* And that goes for Nicole Kidman as well.
