Ending it with stupendous irony from a quote by Patrick Henry, Rick
Sherwood, formerly the name used by the "Woody" entity, offers his
practical resolution, or as I prefer to call it, his Final Solution for critics.
Rick Sherwood is articulate and intelligent, and has very succinctly
phrased Scientology's declaration of war on freedom. Read his
chilling suggestions, and consider what a Scientology regime would
be like if these fascists were actually allowed to take over the world.
These suggestions in Sherwood's resolution sound like the laws in
Nazi Germany making it a crime to criticize the Chancellor. Sherwood
suggests, as a resolution, that all criticism of Scientology be wiped
utterly from the face of the earth.
> My Practical Resolution
Note that within this category, the logs which Lisa McPherson's "caregivers"
kept on her, upon which all the claims against Scientology are based, are
"false data." Why are they false data? Because they harm Scientology.
Here is an illustrative example, the very first one:
to: SNR C/S
18 Nov 95
From Med. Off. Manager
She had 1 1/2 cup Cal Mag, small bite of turkey & spagettie, 3/4 banana.
Lisa is talking since about 30 minutes:
* -"I created time 3 billion years ago and now I am dramatizing it since than."
* -"I am LRH and I didn't confront it because I didn't
confront that power."
* -"I can't confront force. I am dramatizing it."
* -"I have an MU on the Student Hat."
* -"I was 1.1. What my chronical tone level is."
* -"I dessimiated my mother, but she didn't get handled. As I didn't confront force."
* -I want to dance.
* -I need my auditor, Mr. Vatusinski.
* -I need to confront my mom.
3:15 P.M.
She is still talking, non stop. She tried to go out of the door.
[page break]
FSO 00157
"I want to take the tooth brush and brush the floor until I have a
cognition." She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth.
If she had been allowed to go out of the door she would still be
alive today. Nov 13, two days before this log entry and three
weeks before she died, she told her mother that she was coming
back home.
She never did. Instead she died at the hands of Scientology.
Rick Sherwood's Final Solution involves censoring all mention of
this occurrence and never mentioning it again. Despite the fact that
Scientology itself kept these logs, they are "false data" because they
do not agree with Scientology.
For more "false data" from these logs see
http://holysmoke.org/cos/lm-torture-logs.htm
In other words, nobody without authorization from CST itself will be able
to quote any materials whatsoever under any circumstances. The
"Church's" opinions of this were shown quite aptly by their case against
the Washington Post, in which they lost and were ordered to pay costs.
The judge in this case described their conduct as "reprehensible."
Here is the relevant section from Brinkema's opinion:
Although the RTC brought the complaint under traditional secular
concepts of copyright and trade secret law, it has become clear
that a much broader motivation prevailed--the stifling of crticism
and dissent of the religious practices of Scientology and the
destruction of its opponents. L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of
Scientology, has been quoted as looking upon law as a tool to
The law can be used very easily to harrass and
enough harrassment on somebody who is simply on
the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is
not authorized, will generally be sufficient
to cause his professional decease. If
possible, of course, ruin him utterly.
The entire memorandum opinion is available here:
http://www.eff.org/pub/Censorship/Scientology_cases/brinkema_rtc_washpost_112895.opinion
> They will contact all authorities to which they have given false information
Any complaint, no matter well-founded, against Scientology, must be withdrawn
immediately. If it opposes Scientology, it is by definition false. The Scienty
definition of truth is that it is whatever is true for you. Therefore anything
contradicting Scientology in any sense is automatically "false."
Wollersheim, for example, who won before the Supreme Court, will not be paid
by Scientology because the Supreme Court is just a "wog court" and it is beneath
them to obey "wog laws." For peace, Wollersheim should forget the harm done
to him and forget his judgment.
> They will bar false data on all chat channels where false data is spread and
In other words, not only will all irc channels and newsgroups contradicting
Scientology
in any sense be eliminated from the Internet, but the critics must indeed themss
become watchdogs, like the "Jewish police" under the Nazis, to hunt down and
eliminate their fellow critics.
> They will declare there is no Scientology issue and announce broadly that
No conduct of Scientology, no matter how bad, can be criticized in any sense,
and any such criticism is automatically "hate."
> They will withdraw support from any government that attempts to abrogate the
Except for the religious peoples listed on this "Suppressive Groups" list whiche
to be destroyed if at all possible. You can see a list of the "Enemy Groups"
Scientology has vowed to destroy, hundreds of them, including many Churches
among them.
Here is the exhaustive list of Scientology's enemies as of 1991.
http://holysmoke.org/cos/enemies.htm
> They will provide data that they are bound by law to report as honest citizes
They must not merely admit that they love Big Brother, like Winston Smith at
the end of 1984, they must also rat out whatever remaining critics in undergroud
cells still dare to commit the "crime" of criticizing Scientology.
> They can report confidentially to the proper authorities any crimes in
They must admit they were entirely wrong to object to any conduct of Scientolog.
If Scientology did it, it can not be unethical. They must, if they wish to liv
repudiate these goals. Otherwise they will be "disposed of quietly and without
sorrow."
> That they find out about the true nature of Scientology, setting aside all
They must admit that Scientology is truly Man's only hope and that those who
disagree with Scientology are all criminals, and must be placed within prisons
by any means possible. No criticism of Scientology is just, all critics are at
best deeply deluded, and must be brought up the Tone Scale by the three
valid processes.
> They will cease their deprogramming attempts and cease in any and all manner
They are not to be allowed to argue or disagree with any Scientology statements
of any kind.
However, Scientology will not be under any such restrictions, and will feel enty
free to attempt to pull any members of any other faith away from their own chosn
religion to discover the true majesty of Scientology, humanity's only hope.
> Patrick Henry's famous words "Give me Liberty or give me death" inspired me to
So, for "Freedom" and using a Patrick Henry quote as justification, Rick Sherwod
has suggested pulling books out of libraries to be destroyed, wiping all critic
forums off the net, and imprisonment of all critics for "crimes."
Not only this, but critics are themselves supposed to help imprison their fello
critics.
It is offered "solutions" of this sort which cause Scientology, rightly, to be
viewed as a totalitarian menace which must be opposed lest they bring
their true goals to fruition: absolute and utter domination, with all oppositin
completely eliminated, and a "safe space" for Scientology to expand.
Rather like Hitler's "lebensraum."
Sherwood's "suggestions" are not some random out-of-context offering from
a random Scientologist, but is what Scientology itself chose to send from a
representative they had previously picked as their public representative.
This is Scientology's true face and it's true goals: total and utter eliminatin
of all criticism of any kind, and if possible, the utter ruination of all criti.
It is nice for Rick Sherwood to put it so clearly so that we can understand
precisely what we are facing in this cult.

No. But, it certainly provides Rick and his 'church' attorneys the opportunity to
file legal action against LMT for "unfair trade practices" since the LMT
operates as a "for-profit corporation" and solicited the Internet for contest
submissions, thus validating the contest as open to the general public.
The LMT's judges refusal to consider any submissions from Scientologists,
big-eyed aliens, or blue-haired demons may constitute some constitutional

When the frivolous allegations that have no hope of being belived
regardless of how elaborate and thick a pile of lies are submitted
the venu of last recourse is to hoist it all onto ARS... if it fools

If it fools no one it still serves as spam.
The first step to being a scientologist is to believe just one of

On the first issue, the Court finds that the motivation of
plaintiff in filing this lawsuit against the Post is reprehensible.
[h]arass and discourage rather than to win.
