Tom Cruise Pressured Amazon into Pulling Anti-Scientology book
According to John Duignan, the author of THE COMPLEX, a book that claims Scientology members are subjected to sleep deprivation, systematic brainwashing, incarcerated in private prisons against their will and driven to suicide claims that Tom Cruise is directly responsible for Amazon’s unceremonious yanking of the book from both their UK and American sites.
Five days after The Complex’s release, Tom Cruise paid a visit to the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, supposedly to host a preview of “Valkyrie,” Cruise’s newest movie.
However, several days after Cruise’s visit, Amazon stopped selling The Complex, saying that the book allegedly makes “false claims” about a Scientologist mentioned in the text.
Duignan was a Scientologist for 22 years and claims in the book that church members, even children, were cruelly punished by the church for transgressing.
Duignan says, I directly know 20 members who went insane or committed suicide. I personally went through a period of insanity. I’m hoping this book can be a lifeline to my former comrades.
Duignan says he began doubting the church, coincidentally, at a Scientology gala that featured Tom Cruise.
According to Duignan, he began to see that the church was all about money.
An Amazon spokespeople claims that Cruise’s visit and their reluctance to sell The Complex is merely co-incidental.
The book is available in the Irish Republic.
