NEW: The City of Brighton, Colorado is set to pass a proclamation praising Scientology tonight. The city manager told the local newspaper the request came from the community. Emails show it actually came from a California-based PR rep for Scientologists.

This country is so embarrassing.
We may have been a bit hasty when we said Weld County couldn’t break off and join Wyoming.
"This town hall sponsored by the Scientologists. The "we're not that bad" cult!"
The Mission: Impossible 8 press blitz has begun
A Cult Founded By A Convicted ConMan
Scientology trying to become the next Mormons
10% tithe adds up quickly.
They have truly perfected these money making machines
Huh? I grew up in the same town as their mothership and can confidently say that nothing good could come from whatever the hell this stunt is.
Why oh why didn’t the city of Brighton simply tell the California PR rep to go fuck themselves? Why?
Oh no. I lived just south of Clearwater for 20+ years and watched them ruin that city. NO ONE should be praising Scientology for shit.
The fuckers tried to kidnap me in 1981 in Clearwater Florida. A young girl invited me up for a free meal when I was out of work and I didn’t know who they were and then they wouldn’t let me leave.
I’ve been following them closely ever since.
That brought back memories, and I decided to look up Fort Harrison in Clearwater because she took me upstairs to an apparently abandoned hotel.
Wow, turns out that is a huge “religious center” they must’ve torn the old hotel down don’t ever go there. I think it’s still owned by the Scientologists.
I'd pay for someone to go and ask, "Where's Shelly Miscavige?"
I remember being introduced to Scientology fifty years ago, had friend deeply into it.I had read some of Hubbards trash fiction as a kid and couldn't imagine it transforming into a religion.Anyway, had a good laugh when ten grand was mention as a donation.
Reason number 5,298,406 to avoid religion.
Omg. Make it stop.😭
The culting of republicans
Good grief. Just when you think everything is as weird as it can get.
Someone on that town board now has a lot more in their bank account.
Right from the Scientology 101 playbook. They’ve been doing this for decades. Targeting cities/mayors that are easy to dupe…
Right @LeahRemini ?

Ugh. I can't stand people.
Follow the money??
They are ghouls, kidnappers, stalkers and completely wrong about everything so yeah, let’s give them a fucking honorific
Remove the person who was paid for this immediately and prosecute
Fucking horrifying and terrifying
“Dianetics Day.” FFS.
That community is already dumb, now it’s even dumber. Nice work Brighton.
I think I’ll finish the first season of Severance tonight because it makes way more sense than anything real going on. (Disclaimer: I’m not sure what the hell is happening on Severance either. )
Cult.
Did Kyle let the Onion take over his account for the night??
Brighton?? What the actual fuck…?
Maga has opened the floodgates for bs like this of crossing the lines of church and state and totally ignoring the constitution.
Cruise, Moss, Minkoff, Elfman..cult members. Don’t support their work.
So an astroturf movement rather than grassroots

linktr.ee/revolution2025Brilliant idea … ask Clearwater Florida. 🙄
Because Scientology wasn't getting their fair share of CULT appreciation. 🤬🤷🏽
Hope they make that clear tonight…we seriously have a cult epidemic in the U.S.
What the H**l is happening to Colorado? 🤬
I don’t get paid enough to deal with some of these people 🤦🏾♂️
However, I wonder if Tom Cruise will be there. Since he has apparently become the king of sequels I want to know where we’re at on ‘Cocktail 2’, ‘Riskier Business’, ‘Days of Thunder 2’, and ‘Vanilla Sky 2’. Maybe call that one ‘Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Sky’
L Ron was looking for a tax break. Fraud = The American Dream.
Cult
Fracking business money town. Limits unknown.
Where is Shelly?
Creepy
LMFAO
Scientology is a dangerous cult.
That is so gross....
Tool
No wonder we got problems 🫠
Honestly? Open your eyes. This is the least of the problems going on in the country right now. Not all grievance politics is equal
Brighton, though? Interesting.
MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY
Colorado is weird
Sick example of coopting public sentiment with misleading disinformation.
Email?
I would have thought they'd send an engram.
Another cult heard from.
...are they trying to give MAGA a run for their money?
?????
😵💫
Scientology getting cities to make proclamations about how great Scientology is was their goto strat in the 80s why is this tactic suddenly in fashion with them again?
They claim they are a religion. Is this not a First Amendment problem?
Centering a criminal cult. No excuses, no, these are adults who can determine their own path, no it's been recognized as a religion, no they're just misunderstood...it's a very sick and insidious cult that ruins people's lives.
America, it might be time to check the quality of your drinking water.
I hope Coloradans ALL UNITE AND PROTEST THIS
How come no one passes a proclamation praising rationality and reason? I can just hear the scientologist now- boring! And help it a proclamation praising atheism. I can hear the theists.... God will get these reprobates in the end.
🤪🤪
IT’S A CULT!!!!
You ok with this
#Colorado?
WTAF 😳
Hail Xenu!
Oh my.
Oh FFS
He lied VOTE IT DOWN. THEN FIRE THE ASS WIPE
Don't forget that there are close connections between Bondi and Scientologists. (Don't think she's a Scientologist - bu I've heard rumours she's helped out the cult for some years ie quid pro quo)
Even by middle school, kids are taught to validate their sources. Omg.
It won’t take hold…watch… this is the crazy shit only done in ravali Montana
🤯
Huh. Had one go through locally recently. Must be a push by them.
It’s a for-profit cult with tax-except status. It’s not a religion. Founder L. Ron Hubbard (a science fiction writer) said, “If you want to get rich, start a religion.”
Oh hell no!
WTF?
Praising a cult? Sounds about right in the US now.
Cults seem to be the "thing" these days disguised as religion.
Give me a break.
Tom, is that you?
They are a cult!
Those Scientologists are sneaky!
What the hell is happening!!
Blessed Day. Under His eye.
Sounds like another place to avoid akin to Clearwater, Florida.
I’ll take Scientologists all day over evangelicals.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Kinda weird
Another city to avoid
Wut
