Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

        The guardians, however, acted on policies written by Ron
Hubbard--policies that are now considered consecrated text as the.
church's latest media guide puts it: "The writings and recorded, spoken 
words of L. Ron Hubbard collectively constitute the scriptures of the 
religion."  Among the religious writings of Lafayette Ronald Hubbard:

 - "Don't defend Always attack." (1960)

 - "Harrass these persons in any possible way" (1965 campaign against 
splinter groups)

 - "NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology ONLY agree to an 
investigation of the attackers."

 - "There has never yet been an attacker who was not reeking of crime. 
All we had to do was look for it and murder would come out" (1966 policy 
letter) 

 - "They are enemies of mankind, the planet and all life. They are fair 
game." (a 1968 "ethics order" covering a list of "supressive persons"

 - "The prize is 'public opinion' where press is concerned. The only safe 
public opinion to head for is they love us are in a frenzy of hate
against the enemy, this means standard wartime propaganda is what we are 
doing...." 

 - "Never treat war as a skirmish. Treat all skirmishes like wars. (1969 
"Battle Tactics")

Wonderful religion you have there, boys and girls.
