The author of the article is Xeni, and the bad guy in scientology doctrine is Xenu. Just like Senator Xenophon, you are both agents of XENU. All jokes aside. The Anderson Report of 1965 tabled in Victorian Parliament at the time reads like a crystal ball. $cientology is an onion wrapped around a black core of destruction. Australia was the first country Hubbard sought to make a scientology run country. I love coincidences. The author of the article is Xeni, and the bad guy in scientology doctrine is Xenu.
