Scientology cult uses dozens of front groups to make money and recruit followers

by Dr. Lilly von Marcab
The Scientology organization is not only a vicious mind-control cult but also a multi-national criminal racket. It uses a large number of front groups, with seemingly altruistic goals, purely as a means to make money, obtain a "religious" reputation, and recruit new Scientologists.
