For all those who want to keep tabs on this growing, weird, and rather significantly wealthy cult, here's some good (and completely hysterical) web resources. .ram and .ra files require RealPlayer to display the audio and video. See http://www.real.com to download the free version of RealPlayer. http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/xemurams - the Xenu Afterschool Special. http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/ - the Xemu Home Page http://www.xenu.net - Operation Clambake: Undressing Scientology Apparently, some disgruntled Scientologists fed up with the $1000 fees to take silly EKG tests have published many Scientologist 'secrets' through anonymous remailers. The Scientologists pursue them with all kinds of lawsuits like they run the show. It's extremely wacky. People dedicate their lives to this sci-fi nonsense. They build huge churches. It's very expensive to join and advance. So far, no one's mentioned anything about Scientology armaments or miltary/infowar capabilities. 'Snowcrash' by Neal Stephenson predicts a Scientologist Navy. Apparently the Greeks recently kicked them out of the country for conspiracy. All kinds of good info at Clambake. >From the latter site listed above: >Hubbard said Scientologists could scare critics with any means, they >could lie, trick and destroy anybody who dared to criticise >Scientology. The result was that most people, and especially the >media, didn't dare to write or say much. If they did, CoS would be >there with their lawyers.

They're high-powered, rich, and lawsuit-trigger-happy. They're scared that if everyone finds out how ludicrous their inner secrets really are, they'll be laughed at. I've seen some documents. I laughed. Can I be sued for laughing these days? -hedges-
