People have accused the Church of blackmailing participants, perhaps by using incriminating/ sexual photos or secrets that come out during auditing.

Hollywood has been accused of doing the same thing to "starlets" and child actors, as a grooming process. Do you see any similarities between how young actors are "controlled" and how the Church of Scientology treats its members?

You recently debuted Once Upon a Time in Shaolin to a limited audience before sending it to auction as what will potentially be the most expensive album ever made. I recall hearing you talk about the concept as one which leaves it up to the buyer whether to keep the music private or release it to the public. More recently I have read that the buyer will have to sign a contract not to release the album to the public for 88 years. Why the change in terms?

Also, why did you bring on a relatively unknown producer for this Wu-Tang album rather than featuring your own signature production?

I feel like rotting in a prison for as long as you did, just does nothing for society,

You could make this statement about anyone serving time for civil disobedience to protest and bring light to what they see as an unjust system.

but your comment seems to reflect a lack of understanding of the reason for and method of protest in the first place.

Yeah- I want to know once and for all, from the mouth/fingers of u/RobertSmigel why Conspiracy Theory Rock has been written out of the SNL episode.
