The Flag Building is at the heart of a vast Scientology complex in Clearwater, Florida. Over 50 buildings together form the Flag Land Base, including:
* The Oak Cove, a 13-story luxury hotel for wealthy cult members.
* The Fort Harrison, an original luxury hotel that was turned into a secure base in the 1970s, renovated in 2009. You can still stay there if you have enough money and get approved by the membership organziation.
* The Coachman Building, a historical building that was renovated in 2014. Used for extensive indoctrination of over 1000 Sea Org members.
* The Clearwater Building was opened in 2015. The former bank now contains a "public information center". Other outposts nearby also highlight programs designed to appear as charitable organizations, including fake human rights efforts, "morals" promotion (compliance of governments to Scientology control), criminal reform, and simulated disaster relief programs.
Adjacent to the Flag Building is an empty lot set aside for the future L. Ron Hubbard Hall, where thousands of Scientologists will attend mass rallies celebrating the leadership. That is now the focus of a big fundraising effort.
