Last year turned out to be another very rough time for him.
“His self-esteem is the net present value of his assets,” another friend once observed. As 2016 ended, Packer was spending a lot of time holed up at Ellerstina, his spectacular polo ranch outside of Buenos Aires, licking his wounds, far from the Hollywood limelight he has recently sought so assiduously.

On August 5, we started a countdown that will give credit -- or blame -- to the people who have contributed most to the sad current state of Scientology.
From its greatest expansion in the 1980s, the church is a shell of what it once was and is mired in countless controversies around the world. Some of that was self-inflicted, and some of it has come from outside. Join us now as we continue on our investigation of those people most responsible... L.

The importance of the Xenu story, is it simply gives the background for why today Scientologists have to do so much exorcism (OT levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the exorcism "upper levels" of Scientology).
Xenu was simply the bad guy space leader who mass murdered a huge number of earthlings and humanoids brought here to earth, so many were all mass murdered during the Wall of Fire incident, that the souls formed a massive surplus of souls without human bodies to occupy. The result has been that the surplus of these mass murdered earthlings and alien humanoids have overpopulated earth, and the surplus souls cluster in clusters and attach themselves to humans, all during human evolution, causing humankind all sorts of mental problems. Scientology's confidential exorcism levels ("upper levels" called OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) all deal with exorcising these surplus souls that infest ALL human beings today.

She knew she had to hit and hit hard and fast and when they were off guard. I'm impressed! Not what I expected from a girl who at first seemed to go along with Tom cramming Scientology down her throat and allowing cult handlers to be with her 24/7 for months. Apparently Katie also had Tom's daughter working at her "fashion label" company and fired her a few months back. Tom's kids have very little contact with their mother since she left the cult, they were told she is an "SP" (SP means a suppressive person, which is an evil person in the cult and basically anyone who doesn't agree with Scientology 100% or who leaves the cult get declared an SP).
I'm so happy things turned out this way for Katie. I now have some serious respect for Katie Holmes, she's a smart cookie you don't want to fuck with. Flagged.
