TOM CRUISE - CRUISE CAMP FIRES BACK AT PARAMOUNT

It is obvious that this whole action from Paramount is a question of an exercising of Power. To put it straight forward: Paramount's executive's are simply afraid that the Cruise/Wagner Production Team is gaining power in comparison to themselves, in regard of the money Cruise and his team has brought into Paramount with the Mission Impossible movies, for example - that, according to media, is estimated to be around 1 billion dollars. The whole issue of Cruise's private declarations in media regarding his relationship with Holmes and the benefits he has found of being a member of the Scientology Church about dyxlexia and psychiatric medicine, is clear as water, only a cover and a pretence from the Paramount executive's to find an excuse, to be able to rid themselves of the successful partnership of Cruise's/Wagner's Production Company. What if the creative duo Production team of Cruise and Wagner would become more powerful than the executive's dito, in the long run, for example? What should the executive's at Paramount have done in that case? How could they possibly find a pretext in time for to rid t hemselves of that presumed future threat to their own exitence - before it became a reality? To get rid of the Cruise/Wagner team, before this happens, and to blame it on Tom Cruise's private affairs, was a low life and cheap shot and accordingly, the only way for them to save their own skin, from this, as they see it, presumed future threat, for to be able to keep thier own power structure intact. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this out. It is simply, and when it comes down to it, a very old and classical issue we see here, the eternal quest of power, envy and greed initiated and exercised in this case from the executive's at Paramount, not only towards Cruise but also towards Wagner - and in the greater perspective, towards the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion and the question of family and also love.
