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

BRIEFING TO ALL SCIENTOLOGISTS ON THE INTERNET
FROM THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL
(NOTE: If you know any other Scientologists on Internet or
America Online, please e-mail this briefing to them).
Dear Scientologist,
As you know, there has been quite a bit of false and
derogatory information going out over the Internet by a few
detractors, squirrels etc.
<'false and derogatory' above is referring to SWORN affidavits,
PERSONAL first hand testimonies, and SUPPORTED by the
US SUPREME COURT judgements - these are what Cof$ considers
'false and derogatory information - George Orweil is smiling in
his grave >
The Church fired a project to collect up all this
information, and we have been in comm with some of you
already. We have obtained legal input on some of the
messages that individuals have posted that could be libelous
or in violation of copyright laws.
< Here is where Erlich is lined up in sights of the Ho'of Babble's
barotry gun >
We have a plan of action that we are taking, to simply
outcreate the entheta on these newsgroups
(alt.religion.scientology and alt.clearing.technology), and
get positive information to the general public on what
Scientology is, our activities around the world, successes
stories and LRH writings. There will also be some legal
actions, which you will be further briefed on. Basically, as
a group we will NO longer put up with our religion being
criticized, harrassed and denigrated on the Internet.
As a first step, I want to thank those who have posted
positive material and handled some of the entheta that has
been posted. This is very much appreciated!
<what 'handling?' >
Secondly, I would like to ask your assistance in
getting each one of you to post positive messages on the
Internet (at least once a week, more if you like), about
Scientology.
< Ahh the Cof$ becomes the Church of Spamatoligy>
We want to make these messages "high ground". In other
words, don't get tempted into a two way comm with some 1.1
jerk on the Internet. Ack him and continue to post POSITIVE
and HIGH TONED messages that really explain what Scientology
IS doing, how it helped you or a friend, community activities
of the Church, Church expansion. It is easy to get into an
opp term situation with the detractors over this system, but
this doesn't necessarily communicate very well to the broad
public who may read this.
< High Toned ? Woody, Noodle, Jet (joke), clueless Ronartist?,
Vile Vera? >
There is an excellent issue by LRH which is PR Series
27, THE ENEMY LINE. In here, LRH says that you never forward
UP WITH A BETTER CAMPAIGN OF YOUR OWN.
<sorry bout the typo above, look like should have said " always
foloow up with a better campaign of your own.">
This should be applied whenever you post a message on
Scientology, as we want to keep this on a theta,
dissemination comm line to the broad public.
< OK, I got this right, Vera=Woody=Ronartist=Jet=theta >
The Church of Scientology International is getting our
own site onto Internet, and we'll also be posting messages
regularly in there, so if you feel you are getting attacked
by some detractor or jerk, let us know right away, and we can
get you material to counter whatever is being said.
<the Cof$ rebuttal department must all be on the RPF by now..>
If you imagine 40-50 Scientologists posting on the
Internet every few days, we'll just run the SP's right off
the system. It will be quite simple, actually.
<You will NEVER see even 40 or 50 $cientologists as 1) they
can't afford a computer, 2) After they read the SWORN affidavits
and FIRST HAND inside STORIES they leave $cientology.. and join
the Freezone 3) because of the FALSE claim of 8 million
$cientologists>
CSI will be e-mailing around various briefings and good
news messages to individuals for posting also, so that you
are getting new material to post. If you need material or
want to get your material cross-checked with us for content,
e-mail it (to this address for now, until CSI gets our own),
and we'll get you the material you need.
<CSI = Church of $cientology INternational, briefings =
"lines to parrot, to spam newsgroup with" >
The two newsgroups on the Internet are
"alt.religion.scientology", and also
"alt.clearing.technology" (which was set up by Homer Smith, a
squirrel and declared SP). We need to fill up both of these
newsgroups with positive information on the Church.
< I know Homer, I like Homer, he's quite an extraordinary
human being, 'squirrel' is a derogatory term used by Cof$
to describe anyone who is capable of exposure to the
sacred scriptures of L Ron Hubbard and can still maintain
the ability to think for himself, and has not confused
the power of 'SOURCE' (as the culties describe it) with
the power of 'TRUTH', which the rest of us call it. >
For those of you with access to America Online, you
know there is a similar situation with Scientology being
attacked on that system. So this would apply to this
newsgroup as well (posting positive messages on Scientology).
The Planetary Dissemination Org (PDO) will be
getting their own site onto Internet, which will be for the
dissemination of LRH's works, WIS book, and other materials
and campaigns. We intend to put these works onto laser
discs, and utilize all the tools of the Internet to
disseminate Scientology internationally.
< Add this to the list of "what your "donations" buy"
professionally orchestrated mindless spammings, rmgroup
messages, raids on a simple truthseeker, harrassment
of elderly mothers in hopes of intimidating silence,
anonymous cancellations of posts by Cof$, and a litany
of lies by brainwashed dunces>
This is very exciting, and will be a new era for
computer users as regards the subject of Scientology.
< Yes, it is very exciting, the morons dont seem to
have done anything right, - in fact, the actions of
the Cof$ on the net have been, in fact, the MOST
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE actions, I can only, grasp, at
straws trying to make their actions make sense, they
have CAUSED more damage, and propagation, and by thier actions
motivated more otherwise disinterested people to spread
the TRUTH of the Cof$ - I am dumbfounded..If I were
an asthmatic dwarf, running the Cof$, I'd throw them all
overboard...>
Look for CSI's first posting very shortly. We WILL
outcreate anything that is on there.
< well, when is this show gonna start? or are these self
destructive actions you have already engaged in, it? >
I would like to hear from you on your ideas to make the
Internet a safe space for Scientology to expand into.
< well here's my 2cents worth , get honest, come clean,
follow the instructions of the United States Supreme Court
and pay Wollershiem the 4.7 million dollars his current
judgement is worth , but then, by examinations of your
scriptures, and validation by your actions, you feel you
are above the law...
But you are not above the Liberty Tree that is the Internet>
Thanks.
ML,
