Thanks, Smurf,
I like how they wrote the names of the singing celebrities, giving me a few news ones to add to my Scientology Celebrity Spiderweb.

A video with one song sung at the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, etc. is such a cliche now. No points for originality, except the guy with the beads braided into his beard was a hoot.

It was OK, but WTF with the mindless twit Alfreddie Johnson and his preaching? <yawn>

Ugh, I knew I shouldnt have looked. May I take the time to pause and reflect on how nauseated I feel. Oh yeah, its better than the We stand Small (DM) hehehe and Chile's stuff but they threw everything but the kitchen sink in there. IAS is supposed to make a better world by singing? LOL, the only serious thing on that video regarding help was VM's on there and they always go on their own dime anyways. Plus Scientology Volunteer ministers tend to get in the way, use resources meant for victims and often give people with medical problems touch assists and bad advice. What the hell is IAS funding except DM's coffers and war chest. Ayup thats right ... nothing.

I think this is a well made propaganda video, almost a schoolbook example actually.
And it shows that speaking out about the other side of the story is as important as ever.

Also, it mentions the "volunteer ministers" and shows activities of the CCHR, but a lot of other things are evidently not there... for example their claim to anti-drug activities.
Wondering if this has to do with recent events...
:-k

This video serves as a loyalty test for musicians as young as Ali Helnwein, and as old as Chick Corea. It's a Kneel Before Zod* moment for 31 creative people who likely didn't seek out being in this IAS video, may be sheepish about being rah-rah for Scientology, and who almost certainly were paid nothing for their talent.

I love the video because it carries ZERO information. Call me uneducated anti-Scientologist -- I do not know what IAC is; the video failed to define the group for me, I still do not know what the group’s purpose is.

The old black dude is very enthusiastic about IAC, but he looks like an Alzheimer patient to me -- he talks a lot, but his words make no sense.

Alfreddie's association is with the World Literacy Crusade Int. , literacy being a huge issue in the black community. However without Smurf's link to look that up, I don't perceive that as one of IAS contributions in the video at least not clearly.. It just seems as Smurf pointed out, Alfreddie's preaching is yawnsville and well as I see it as babbling, lol. Its a promotion of study tech. Obviously meant to target black community however.

I actually liked the song. You can't go wrong ripping off Steve Winwood's "Higher Love". Very disappointed to see New Barbarians bassist Stanley Clarke. Who's the older white lady singing that you can't hear?

Chick Corea's wife, Gayle.

Boy, the critical movement has really slowed down (probably because Scilontology is withering without outside help).

A few years ago, there would have been at least a dozen parody videos by now.

You meant to say "IAS", not "IAC". This is the International Association of Shitheads. The Shitheads (TM) give huge amounts of money to help a psychotic dwarf live an opulent lifestyle because there is a 10% kickback scheme to the salespeople. I hope this helps.

I was once a Shithead myself, and I was thrilled to give $20,000 to the International Association of Shitheads. This money was used to fly in a fresh and top of the line sushi dinner from Nobu for the unfortunately manhood member size challenged "corn cob" dwarf and his entourage.
