US Army managed farce at Haiti airport continues

There we go again... despite complaints by medical NGOs like Doctors without Borders the US military in charge of the airport in Haiti still prioritizes oddballs over serious aid organizations. This time round its John Travolta and his fellow Scientology Church morons that were prioritised with their 'aid mission' over aid professionals. Travolta flew his own little Boeing 707 with a few tons of supplies and Scientologist (a nuttish money making cult, it's neither a church nor have they got anything to do with science) doctors over to Haiti. I suspect, like other religious or quasi-religious organizations they will abuse the desperation of the locals to recruit to their ideological cause.

What's wrong with the US military that such people's planes are prioritized over professional aid organizations?

$cientology remains on German government watch-list

Unlike other countries, Germans have not fallen for the quasi-religious cover of the Church of $cientology. The country's security services have long been monitoring the organization's activities. Indeed, for taxation purposes $cientology is considered a business in that country and has to pay taxes accordingly. So, its fleecing of naive clients at last fills not only the coffers of the Church but also of the German government. The Church sued against the continuing surveillance, in a court of law, and lost. The court found that 'there are concrete indications that the plaintiff (Scientology), as well as its members, maintains ambitions against the free, democratic basic order.' Indeed, there is speculation that the company might be outlawed in Germany altogether. See a full English language report published in the German news magazine DER SPIEGEL here.
