reply to Mike Rinder's letter in saintpetersburg times Mike Rinder's attempt to invoke religious cloaking


Mr. Rinder's well greased invocation, printed in the May 22nd edition of the St Petersberg Times, should be held up as just evidence of an exact application of Hubbard's 'religious cloaking device' for Scientology.

Whenever Scientology is faced with adversity, they puppet and squawk "religious persecution".

What appears as intolerance toward "religion" in Europe, is in fact, intolerance to the fraud and deceitful tactics of the science fiction UFO cult called Scientology. I was a staff member for Scientology in the 60’s when Hubbard decided to cloak the public organization in religiosity...

It was presented to me as a ‘Applied Philosophy’, then in the late 60’s, a cross was dragged in the door, and we were told to wear collars... Staff considered it a joke then, I consider it a fraud now, and an act of the most craven cowardice - to use ‘religious cloaking’ to escape government and public scrutiny.....

The German nation barely survived the rise of the Nazi regime;

due to that expereince, as a society, they have developed mental anti-bodies to anything that has the same smell. I am pleased they are having such an allergic reaction to the Scientology infection. In the United States we are developing those antibodies now.

Further, if there existed The Internet 60 years ago, when the Nazis were rising to power, I think they would have failed, just as Scientology has met it's own Vietnam on the Internet.

Mr. Rinder's letter represents well what is at best a contrived 'shore story' and at worst participation in Hubbard's grand conspiracy to defraud the public. An organization convicted in Canada for Breach of the Public Trust, upheld on appeal in 1997, whose leaders were recently convicted of FRAUD in France.

An organization whose leaders in the United States were convicted of Conspiracy in 1982 in the largest domestic spying case in US history for which Hubbard let his own wife, Mary Sue Hubbard and others serve the jail time.

What ocurred was the burglarizing of Asst. US Attorney, IRS Counsel, and Assistant US Attorney general's offices to steal documents.

Yet they tell their own members that they were convicted of 'stealing xerox paper'.

They also say "that's old, we don't do that anymore" and that "we threw those people out of Scientology".

That is another lie. Kendrick Moxon, Scientologist and Scientology's attorney of record in the various litigations in progress was a named unindicted co-conspirator in the document that sent those leaders to jail. He participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice at least once already as a matter of public record.

Now, in character with the Star-Treck style "Romulan Cloaking Device" - Scientology has grown expert at invoking their own "Religious Cloaking Device", but this is somehow fitting for a scam based on the works of a science fiction author.

They fooled me for ten years.

Don't let them fool you for ten minutes.
