Tony Ortega posted an article today concerning Leah Remini's observations about Kha Khan status and Ethics Protection. Tony's article initially appeared to undercut Leah's position, or at least that is how I read it. Apparently, others did as well, because Tony posted the following important update:
http://tonyortega.org/2017/02/10/ca...ravolta-really-commit-murder-under-the-rules/
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
UPDATE: Seeing some comments, we wanted to append a coda to the story to make something more clear. While we think Kha-Khan in particular is something of an outdated concept in Scientology and probably never delivered the immunity it seemed to promise, that isn’t to say that Scientology doesn’t offer enormous benefits to its celebrities, including protecting them after they commit misdeeds. Travolta may be only a useful idiot to Miscavige, but we heartily believe that Miscavige would use the full force of his Office of Special Affairs and other resources to protect any Scientology celebrity from investigation or prosecution by law enforcement whenever it might be possible.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
FWIW, I agree with Tony's update and am glad he posted it. I have no doubt that the Church of Scientology would do anything it calculated it could get away with, in pure cost-benefit, expected-value analysis terms, and completely unconcerned with wog ethics, morality and law, to protect Tom Cruise, John Travolta, another major Scientology celebrity, or Scientology whale. I also think that is what Leah was trying to get at and explain.
