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

Woody admits as has been shown elsewhere that the COS is failing and
          is shrinking.... The inquisition is on the run....




          "The organization clearly is schizophrenic and paranoid,
          and this bizarre combination seems to be a reflection of
          its founder.  The evidence portrays a man who has been
          virtually a pathological liar when it comes to his history,
          background, and achievements.  The writings and documents
          in evidence additionally reflect his egoism, greed,
          avarice, lust for power, and vindictiveness and
          aggressiveness against persons perceived by him to be
          disloyal or hostile."

          From the judgement of Judge Paul G. Breckenridge in the
          Armstrong case, 1984.




          Before going over the specific past and ongoing examples
          of Scientology's true actions and policies toward its
          adversaries it is necessary to cover a brief overview of
          the four overriding strategies that appear in greater or
          lesser degrees in and behind all Scientology actions
          directed at its enemies.  The best way to understand them
          is to directly to the source of these action directing
          and demanding policies.  From the writings of L. Ron
          Hubbard:

          "The purpose of a lawsuit is to harass and discourage
          rather than to win....Don't ever defend.  Always attack.
          Find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause
          them to sue for peace.  Originate a black PR campaign to
          destroy the person's repute and to discredit them so
          thoroughly they will be ostracized.  Be alert to sue for
          slander at the slightest chance so as to discourage the
          public presses from mentioning Scientology."

          "It is my specific intention that by the use of
          professional PR [black PR) tactics any opposition not
          only be dulled but permanently iradicated."  From a
          confidential Board Policy Letter of 30 may 1974 Handling

          Hostile Agents/Dead Agenting.

          "Threat and mystery are the lot of intelligence."  From
          HCO Policy Letter of 11 May 1971.


          "NEVER agree to an investigation of Scientology.  ONLY
          agree to investigate the attackers....This is the correct
          procedure:  (1) Spot who is attacking us.  (2) Start
          investigating them for FELONIES or worse, using our own
          professionals, not outside agencies.  (3) Double curve
          our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
          (4) Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual
          evidence on the attackers to the press....Don't ever
          submit tamely to an investigation of us.  Make it rough
          on the attackers all the way....You can get "reasonable
          about it" and lose ....  so BANISH all ideas that any
          fair hearing is intended and start our attack with their
          first breath.  Never wait.  Never talk about us -- only
          them.  Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines.
          Don't use us."  From HCO policy letter of 25 Feb.  1966,
          "Attacks on Scientology."

          Scientology has put these and its famous "fair game"
          policies into action throughout its history to remove any
          obstacles to its advancement.

          "An enemy, "[they] may be deprived of property or injured
          by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline
          of the Scientologist...may be tricked, sued, lied to, or
          destroyed."  From the words of L. Ron Hubbard in HCO
          policy letter of 18 October 1967, known as the "Fair Game
          Policy."
