Rumination on Hubbard in China from someone who lives there

This does link into a conversation me and a friend had a week or so ago.
I was showing her pictures from the Feb.10th protest, and she first noticed the cross on the English flag that sits atop the doorway of the London Org. She then notices the pyramids on the sides of the same doorway. The conversation went something like this;
Her; Is that a cross with a star behind it over the English flag over the doorway?
Me; Yup. It gives the more credability as an established religion that way. Borrowing from all over the place just to seem legit.
Her; Are those pyramids on the side of the doorway?
Me; Well, they're not very good at hiding their pyramid scheming
Her; Yes well, but seriously?
Me; Once again it's all about trying to seem well established, old, and respected. It's the facade to fool you in.
And it really does permeate the entire CoS, including Hubbards "encounter" with Oriental Mysticism. It's all in there to seem legit, borrow a bit here, a bit there, put it all together and suddenly you look like you know what you're doing to most people.
