Thank you very much for your article exposing another facet of the
secretive "Church" of Scientology!
It is important in these times to strip away the facade of religiousity
that this predatory cult lurks behind, as they're currently scrambling
to acquire public funding for many of their phony and useless front
groups.
Scientologist Tom Cruise has reportedly been schmoozing with the Bush
White House for Federal support of their "study tech," which
would introduce children to L. Ron Hubbard's junk science in public
schools.
Cruise is also pushing the potentially health-threatening
"purification rundown" to New York firefighters, and the
cult's useless "drug rehab" front group, Narconon, is being
promoted to various state assemblies as a viable treatment for
prisoners.
On this 40th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre, it is vital to
remember that there are still destructive, predatory cults out there
seeking the vulnerable, innocent and gullible. It is especially
important for elected officials to realize that, when you lie down with
the wealthy Scientology organization, you get up covered in imaginary
space cooties. There is a saying amongst critics of Scientology, "It
really is worse than you can imagine."
This is quite true, as a little online research will reveal.
You will undoubtedly be deluged by a flood of nearly identical letters
from "individual" Scientologists, all whining about religious
bigotry and intolerance.
Let me state this clearly; critics of Scientology do not object to
the beliefs of Scientology, silly as they are. We object to the actions
of the organization; unneccesary early death from treatable illness,
the abuse of members and those who speak out against this treatment,
the destruction of families, life savings, the suicides, and
fraudulent practices.
Scientology has a fifty year history of antisocial behavior which has
nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with money and power.
How many churches have armed compounds such as Gold Base in Hemet,
California?
How many churches have slimed into a community under a false identity
like Scientology did in Clearwater, Florida?
How many churches have prison camps, paramilitary forces, like
Scientology's Rehabilitation Project Force and their toy Navy, the
Sea Organization?
Dr. Dave Touretzky has put up an excellent website outlining the Study Tech at
Historian Chris Owen's sites address L. Ron Hubbard's true Navy record at
and also their dangerously useless drug rehab program at
http://www.narconon-exposed.org/
For an overview of the Scientology organization,
http://www.xenu.net/
is an excellent start.
Of course, the curious should also visit Scientology's own websites
for a comparison. www.scientology.org is their main site, but the
site they maintain on their "enemies," such as myself and Dr.
Touretzky, are most revealing. That can be viewed at

I have purchased several copies of this month's issue and intend to
spread them around where they'll do the most good.
Thank you for your courage in publishing this article. You follow in
the footsteps of other brave publishers and writers who have dared to
take on this totalitarian monolith, such as Paulette Cooper and Time
Magazine. Both wrote exposes critical of the Scientology organization,
and suffered the consequences.
Back before the internet, critics were more easily intimidated and
silenced. Today, the world watches Scientology's every move.
Congratulations on an excellent article, and your courage in printing it!
