The Church of Scientology and its many related organizations own real estate holdings worldwide, probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The German government takes the view that Scientology is a commercial enterprise, and Belgium, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg, Israel and Mexico remain unconvinced that Scientology is a religion.
[Note – in order to SILENCE their critics, Scientology THROUGH TWISTED AND MANIPULATIVE MEANS, has purchased the “CULT AWARENESS NETWORK” and ANSWERS TELEPHONE INQUIRIES AS IF THEY WERE “anti-cult.”SCIENTOLOGY is quite likely the most ruthless, the most classically terroristic, the most litigious and the most lucrative cult the world has ever seen. No other cult extracts more money from its members.

At last count (March 2000), the Scientology “church” has from about 50,000 to 90,000 members (i.e. people willingly victimized by this crime syndicate) world-wide, with franchises in dozens of countries.
Their ex-victims number in the hundreds of thousands. The crime syndicate has hundreds of front-groups and organizations in the USA, which do not advertise their affiliation to the religious cult: people who would never have anything to do with a crime syndicate nevertheless unwittingly fund and support it, in all its guises. Their headquarters are in Clearwater, Florida, USA.
