Dear Bob,

I don't really know you, and I'm not sure if this is appropriate, or not, but on the odd off-chance that it might prove helpful to you, I'm posting this.

As you already know, you are a "vital target" for the Church of Scientology, because you are an "opnion leader", and in their eyes, "upstat" as well (ie, they take you seriously despite not having been a member, because you have "flowed money" to the "SPs". You have also become a Director of FACTNet, and no matter what the general public think of FACTNet, FACTNet remains in Scientology's eyes, a HUGE threat, which they wish to eliminate.

With this incident regarding the shooting, they are of course, trying to drive you over the edge, based on their "tech".

(Sacred cult scripture). What I am about to say is based upon the insights I gained, from having been a Scientologist, and from having gotten deep inside the "heads" of OSA - not only did they get inside my head, but I got inside theirs as well.

I am sure you already know what you are dealing with, but I emphasise it here, FWIW.

1. They view you as a "wog" with a Reactive Mind, which can be "re-stimulated" and lead to irrational actions and sayings.

Scientology views humans as *all* having "Reactive Minds", or "Bank" as they call it, which is stimulus-respoinse, and therefore, manipulable. Responds to button pushes, and so on.

They reagrd each human as having a set of "items" - those are things which one cannot excersize any rational control over - triggering either fear, rage, revulsion, or, as they call it "charge". Scientology is supposed to be a way of getting "charge" of people, till they no longer have "Reactive Minds", and are completely rational/analytical, so they claim.

2. They are trying to push you, provoke you into going "irrational" in their eyes. Thus far, I do not see you doing that, the warning shots you fired were perhaps not the best possible thing to do at that time, but no harm was done, and you were within your rights. However, they won't stop now. They smell the reaction of some of the a.r.s crowd, and they know they have the right "item" - to try and provoke you into violence, or angry tirades which appear irrational to those not under such pressure, and who judge easily, and harshly. So, they will keep doing things to engineer that outcome, because *that* will Dead Agent you to the critics. That's what they're after.

3. Dead Agenting remains the single most successful form of neutralising an opponent to Scientology. They have tried to spread rumours about you and Stacy, they have tried to sow seeds of discontent within your family, they have publically defamed you, none of which has succeeded in neutralising you. The thing about Dead Agenting, in their policy is "find or MANUFACTURE".

In other words, if they don't find, or, they do find, but what they find doesn't push the general public's "buttons", they then have to MANUFACTURE, which means, get you to Dead Agent yourself. I know what I'm talking about here. It worked with me.

4. What I am saying to you therefore, is an educated guess that they will apply what they call a "successful action", done in the past over various times, to get the critics to turn on you, and tear you to pieces, based on something *you* have done. (Or, they have provoked or manipulated you to do). That remains in their eyes, a "successful action", to be repeated. Lovely "religion", this.

In summary - take it from one who's been there, done that, a voice from the past, on whom it *did* work - don't let it work with you. You do have several things in your favour - you are a US citizen, known personally to many of the critics, you are surrounded by people who know about this, you do not have a pre-disposition to "snap" into a former cult persona, you do not have environmental variables which are incomprehensible to the critics, and so on. I just thought it might be helpful to you to know how they think.

In support,
Kim Baker
