In Rwanda, from 600,000 to 800,000 Tutsi were butchered by 100,000 Hutu, in the span of three months. The Rwanda radio stations called upon the Hutu to perform this noble patriotic chore, for the good of the country and humanity. Since the Tutsi averaged around eight inches taller than the Hutu, the Hutu used _pangas_ (machetes) to hack off the feet of the Tutsi at the ankles.
Compared to this horror, Scientology Inc.'s crimes and human rights abuses pales into non-significance.
However, I live in the USA, not Rwanda. There is damn little I can do about the crimes occuring in Rwanda, but there are things I can do to help curb the crimes committed by Scientology Inc.

Eight million victims would be a staggaring number. The reason it is obvious that there are not 8,000,000 Scientologists is because if there were, the USA law enforcement agencies would finally have to step up and address the problem.

Perhaps so. Probably not, since Scientology Inc. exists only to make money; as long as there are gullible human beings, the crime syndicate will get their money.
The way to end Scientology Inc.'s crimes and human rights abuses is to cut off their money supply.
