As we all knew would eventually happen, I finally have to concede defeat to Scientology. This is not an unconditional surrender, just a cessation of hostilities. That does not lessen my hope that this ceasefire will last for some time to come, maybe even forever.

As a symbol of my obvious inability to overcome Scientology technology, I am submitting to DM a FIRST DRAFT for his recommendations, additions, changes or deletions. It is my intent to wait a reasonable amount of time before I take the final step of actu ally forwarding this letter along the appropriate channels. Heck, as busy as I am, I'll probably forget about it altogether, unless someone takes the time and effort and reminds me about it later on down the road. Things that would remind me that I have to forward this letter would include the further publication of any unfairly discrediting or libelous information about my person or members of my family. My extended family has hundreds, if not thousands of members, so Scientology's gang of faceless co wards may want to think twice before sending their squad of special investigators to dig up dirt on people based on those people's opinions or beliefs.

To: District Public Diplomacy Representative of the Unification Church From: Joe Cisar
Dear Sir or Madam, I am a member of a Beneficent Personality Cult (BPC), and religiously follow the teachings of Jimmy Buffet. I am writing to you as a fellow member of a BPC. It is my belief that we have a matter of mutual concern.

I believe that I, directly, and you, indirectly, have been the target of bad data and bad public relations propagated by adherents of Scientology.

In addition, it is possible that you are in receipt of information covertly collected by Scientology operators. If, in the future, you act in the belief that the data thus obtained is valid, you may find yourself in an unnecessarily disadvageous position . Moreover, as members of beneficent personality cults, I believe it is in both our best interests to discourage exploitative opportunists from giving cults a bad name.

I represent the view that cults are as necessary to this country as are grocery stores. Just as a greater number of grocery stores enables a wider choice and a healthier diet, a greater number of cults does the same thing for points of view.

Picture grocery stores as they were a century ago, however, when perhaps one or two bad apples started to spoil the whole barrel by behaving in an unethical manner for the sake of increasing personal wealth. Those one or two stores were all it took to ta rnish the good name of all the respectable grocery operators in the public's eye. Because the overwhelming majority of groceries were run by good people, they rose up in response to those misguided few that hindered their forward advancement. The righte ous not only denounced the wrong-doers, but institutionalized a process whereby the public's mind could once again be put at ease with regard to such an essential element of their life as food.

Therefore this open letter is being written to you by a graduate communication scholar in the interest of creating a better public image for cults.

It is my hope that if I were to undertake a doctoral thesis on the press and public relations policies of Rev. Moon, that I would be able to communicate to members of the Unification Church on the topic. This would be especially interesting as the public is already well aware of the strong presence the Unificationists have in the media community. You would have to recognize in advance, though, that a scholar does not use his institution's authority to either whitewash or condemn the activities of groups or individuals. It is certainly possible that items of a negative value might be described. However, this sort of item can easily be put into perspective if it is compared to the present view. It is my experience that the public is more forgiving of t hose that acknowledge their ways than of those in denial.

Which brings me to the point at hand. My thesis on the press and public relations policy of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, was recently accepted in consideration of a Master of Science degree, which was subsequently granted. Many of my sour ce documents, most of which were primary in nature, came from raids carried out by federal authorities upon Scientology headquarters. There are indications that the war-oriented policies contained in these documents are still in use today.

Two months af ter I published my thesis, the Scientologists published a web page on me.

http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.com/extremists/cisarj1.html This web page contains or contained data covertly collected on me by the Scientologists. Unbeknownst to the Scientologists, I was aware at the time that the data could possibly be used to my detriment at a future point in time, and I fed the Scientologis ts disinformation.

http://www.innernet.net/joecisar/trip0000.htm More specifically:

http://www.innernet.net/joecisar/trip1000.htm This is the basis on which I warn you that you should be careful of bad data from the Scientologists. Evidence indicates they don't bother to do elementary confirmation of something as basic as committing libel. (I've had them remove the worst libel already.)

As to the second point of bad public relations, you may want to take a look at the world's first Cult Infiltration Manual:

http://www.innernet.net/joecisar/trip1100.htm You will immediately notice that it is specific to Scientology. This manual mentions, under "46 reasons to infiltrate Scientololgy," the Scientology page that purports to support "religious freedom" (as opposed to admitting it is nothing more than editor ial in nature):

http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.com/extremists Picture potential customers who have never heard of a cult before viewing the above page. Will that page make them more receptive to cults in general, whose religious freedom it purports to represent?

This message is being communicated to you completely in the open. A copy of this letter has previously been placed in a location conspicuous to David Miscavige, the head of Scientology. I have waited a reasonable amount of time for his or his representa tive's response.

Respectfully, Joe Cisar, Xenu apologist What tripped Scientology's trigger?
