Juggernaut

[keshet]

I was fortunate (?) enough to see a copy of the program for
Scientology's New Year's Event. Pretty standard fare, with a
sports arena seating diagram, street map, list of tours
available, and schedule of events (including a Sunday Service
with the Reverend Heber Jentzsch and a concert with Isaac
Hayes & The Dukes of Soul).

On page 7, "Sign the Commitment to a Scientology Millennium",
the following appears:

We are on our way to clear a planet and free a world
population. With the advent of the year 2000, we intend
to create a true Scientology juggernaut and make this
-- LRH's postulate -- a firm reality.

To create that juggernaut you are invited to sign a
commitment pledging your adherence to the Code of a
Scientologist and the intention to making this new
millennium -- the Scientology Millennium.

"Juggernaut" caught my attention. The word is derived from the
title of the Hindu deity Krishna, whose idol is drawn on a huge
cart in an annual procession. At one time it was (mistakenly)
thought that fanatics would throw themselves under the wheels
to be crushed, as a sacrifice to the god. Thus, the definition
(from the American Heritage dictionary):

Something, such as a belief or an institution, that
elicits blind and destructive devotion or to which
people are ruthlessly sacrificed; an overwhelming,
advancing force that crushes or seems to crush
everything in its path.

Scientology "crushingly" defined in its own words.

Oh yeah. Scientology in the raw.

And then there's the cult's "Operation Juggernaut" they turned on and
rolled toward Mike Flynn.

Has "Operation Juggernaut" ever been webbed?
