The Church of Scientology is taking illegal steps to hound its critics,
and threatening the internet by its use of forged cancels of USENET posts
which it alleges contain violations of its copyright.

In recent months, posts detailing serious abuses by Scientologists
have been posted to alt.religion.scientology, a newsgroup set up for
that purpose.  Some posts have been delivered to the net, purporting
to describe ludicrous "courses" which the cult is using to gull the
susceptible.

*************************************************************************

One such course describes a tyrant named Xenu who,  70 million years ago,
it is claimed, kidnapped people in spacecraft resembling mid-20th century
DC-8 airliners, dropped them in volcanoes and nuked them.  An average
Scientologist could pay many thousands of dollars, and be subject to months
or even years of softening his critical faculties, to prepare him to hear
this crap.

*************************************************************************

The Scientologists have been issuing illegal forged cancels from
netcom accounts.  As usual, netcom is doing very little about it.
This is stopping some vital information getting through, but some
is still making it.

Now the Scientologists have obtained warrants and mounted a fishing
expedition on one person, and seem set to do the same to at least two
more.  The information they get from these raids allows them to
threaten and silence critics of the cult's many abuses.  The scientologists
excel in "Dead Agent" tactics--using lies and distortions of the truth to
invalidate someone's arguments.

In another development, the Scientologists have breached the integrity
of the anon.penet.fi server, making the administrator hand over records
identifying one of the posters.

It is imperative that more people spread the news about this case,
and spread the bad news about the cult's evil activities.

The freedom of all people is threatened by these abuses.
