Tom Cruise is Compared to Nazis
While we all know that Tom Cruise is playing the role of Col. Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, the hero that tried to assasinate Adolf Hitler, we also know that it is just his role. But the German Church has decided to compare him to being a Nazi due to his scientology beliefs. Actually they are comparing him to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Thomas Gandow, chief spokesman on religious cults for the German Protestant Church, called Scientology a “totalitarian organization� and alleged that Cruise was “the Goebbels of Scientology,� according to various overseas reports, including the London Independent.
“This film will have the same propaganda advantages for Scientology as the 1936 Olympics had for the Nazis,� Gandow said, referring to the publicity the 1936 Berlin Games gave Germany.
Tom Cruise camp has struck back stating that:
“‘Valkyrie’ has nothing to do with Scientology. It is a historically accurate thriller developed by Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie that presents the World War II resistance hero Col. Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg as the heroic and principled figure he was. To attempt to smear such a movie by comparing it to Nazi propaganda flies in the face of reason and logic — and even worse, it belittles the enormity of the Nazis’ crimes.�
They also mentioned that Gandow’s comments were wrong-headed (?) and irresponsible.
Who is Josesph Goebbels? Joseph was a minister that used his position as a propaganda to his own beliefs.
I find this all very funny, the Germans didn’t want Tom Crusie over there promoting his beliefs on anyone but they just won’t shut up about it. Hmmm, now if ya really don’t want to PUBLICIZE it then don’t talk about it. It’s really that simple. But maybe it is just me that thinks this way. (I doubt it)
