"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing [sic] our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
---Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu



The Comedy Central's South Park infamous Scientology episode 912 (#137) which originally aired on November 16, 2005, has been systematically pulled from dailymotion.com, youtube and Google video.

The episode sparked controversy when and after it was aired. In fact, the episode's credits list each contributor's name as "John Smith" or "Jane Smith", a reference to the possibility of lawsuits from the Church of Scientology.

It is a tribute to the power of the internet, that despite the attempt being made at "suppressing" it, the animated cartoon still does manage to resurface again and again. For those who have missed it, it currently can be viewedhere on the Yoism website.

The DVD titled South Park the Hits: Volume 1, which includes the episode was released on October 3, 2006.

"My chlorophyll is on fire. The power of the fertilizer twists my branches and roots, cripples me, drives me to the ground. I die of thirst, I suffocate, I cannot cry. This is the compost heap, eternal torment! See how the flames rise! I burn as I ought to. Go on, Gardener!"
- Arthur Rimbaud, A season in Hell  More >

Being incapable of conjugating the verb "to be," we conjugate instead the verb "to have." But as the verb "to have" can lead us nowhere, for nothing lasting can be acquired, we seek indefinitely "to have more." Such is the source of our enslavement.

Can we wash each cup or bowl as if we were bathing a newborn baby Buddha?

The secret of the mountains is that the moutains simply exist, as I do myself: the mountains exist simply, which I do not. The mountains have no "meaning," they ARE meaning; the mountains ARE. The sun is round. I ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when I can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. I understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when I read it all again, another day.

"There are no murders in Africa. Only regrettable deaths. And from those deaths we derive the benefits of civilization, benefits we can afford so easily… because those lives were bought so cheaply."
