What is the ultimate goal?
Why Clearwater, Florida?
Scientology's ultimate stated goal is a world without insanity, war or crime.
They believe that by "clearing the planet" that is, removing the effects of the reactive mind from everyone, all the craziness would simply go away.
In practice the goal is to seize as much money and power as possible to control everything.
Why Clearwater, Florida?
It is the center of the universe after all... (Seriously, I have no idea, I think just because Hubbard liked it?)
1. World Domination.
2. To film Battlefield Earth II
3. Profit!
