The following is a reply to a media person seeking more information on the recent Factnet Editorial Dear XXXX, We have been inundated with requests for additional information on the allegations surrounding the Scientology cult's involvement in the BattleField Earth movie. I will add some information here and post it to the Internet so that all individuals seeking such information can have equal access to it as well.

The most common questions have to do with providing more information about the individual or individuals who made the allegations to Factnet.

On this unfortunately, I am restricted by a complex confidentiality agreement and prudent security procedures to say nothing more.

The security reasons are simple to understand. Scientology is ruthless and a very dangerous cult. If Scientology turns on you, you too would be wise to be concerned about your well-being, your livelihood, your reputation and your family.

In 20 years or working with cults and cult victims many times individuals have come forward with critical information that helped prevent additional harm to others, but they could not go public with it themselves. Either because they were too weak to sustain the cult's retaliation or they simply chose not too because of the tremendous fear that cults like Scientology generate (once you really understand who and what they are and do.)

Sometimes at a later date those individuals providing the information will go public and add more detail, sometimes they never do. I am not unsympathetic to the individuals who demand absolute anonymity. Even hardened government law enforcement agents have asked off of Scientology cases because of fear of retaliation against themselves and their families.

Receiving this type of information is not a rare occurrence with our organization. Many individuals who come forward and demand anonymity want the information they possess to be available for others to investigate and potentially prevent others from being seriously harmed, but cannot or will not do more than that. If it potentially can prevent others from suffering, over the years I have learned to gladly take whatever credible information people can give and abide by the conditions under which it was given.

What has happened since we broke the story...

Factnet has been under an accelerated virus attack that has affected our computers and email capabilities so much so that I have removed the main administrative computer from the net until we can upgrade its security protection beyond standard hacking protections and the Mcaffee/Norton virus checkers that we were updating nearly daily. Scientology's private investigators and intelligence people have also become very active again playing their usual mind games in the city in which Factnet is located.

In closing, I do believe the allegations of Factnet's editorial opinion to be so credible as to demand further investigation and dialog. At Factnet we take them very seriously and consequently and wisely have heighten all of our security precautions since we broke the story.

I wish to reemphasizes that it is now also up to anyone potentially effected by the harm that could result should the allegations prove true to demand that Warner Brothers immediately submit the original film master to a high level government intelligence agency so they can use their advanced subliminal messaging knowledge and technology to prove or refute the allegations (of advanced subliminal advertising embedded in the Scientology film BattleField Earth.)

It is my impression and belief from what has been stated in the earlier Factnet editorial that Scientology's unlimited deep pockets intentionally bought the best subliminal technology that exists anywhere in the world today, only and specifically, because it was all but undetectable to only the very, very few who had access to these advances in subliminal messaging.

It is my further opinion Scientology truly believed they could get away with it just for that reason. Consequently, any statement by Warner Brothers that the film has no embedded subliminal messaging without voluntarily having it examined at the before mentioned government level is meaningless and a mere diversion to their legal due diligence responsibilities to inspect the film to and at the level it was created.

And finally, to be socially and legally responsible to moviegoers, movie critics and theater owners Warner must address all the other serious allegations concerning BattleField Earth stated in the Factnet editorial.
