". . . Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!" --
St. James the
Apostle, letter to the first Christian churches (James 4:7)
-------------------
"Every insider knows where the weak chinks are in his
movement's armor.
The BEST TEST of a critic's mastery of his opponent's system is
his
ability to go straight for his OPPONENT’S WEAKEST SPOT. He
will not be
sidetracked. If he can do this, he will draw blood. HE WILL
CREATE
CONSTERNATION AND CONFUSION IN THE OPPONENT’S CAMP."
-- Gary North, "Christian Reconstruction: What It Is, What
It Isn't",
Tyler, TX: Institute for Christian Economics, 199I, p. 175
(emphasis

-------------------
The key to de-constructing COS through "creat(ing)
consternation and
confusion" in its "camp" is to openly,
aggressively, repeatedly,
publicly, and PERSISTENTLY attack it’s SOFT UNDERBELLY until
the beast
dies.
The weak spots which comprise that soft underbelly are:
WEAK SPOT #1 – Intellectual laziness, incompetence,
shallowness,
irrelevance. Dependency on factual errors, irrelevancies, and
self-deception. No training in Logic except for a very limited,
truncated
"secrets of logic" in Hubbard’s "Data
Series".
OUR BEST WEAPONS: STUFF THEIR MOUTHS WITH FOOTNOTES! Continually
and
abundantly cite quotes by experts and scholars, historical
examples,
documentation, and ESPECIALLY primary source materials.
Continually and repeatedly emphasize factual errors and
SPECIFICALLY NAME
logical fallacies presented in COS literature and posts from COS
drones
and shysters(lawyers). Publish and re-publish these over and over
again
and spread them throughout the net.
For a really BOLD and effective touch, let’s CC copies of
everything we
write to every COS e-mail address we can get our hands on.
Don’t wait for
COS drones and shysters to spot it on newsgroup boards and then
post
their vacuous tripe. Instead, repeatedly flood the entire Borg
(er, I
mean, COS) Collective with OUR stuff.
WEAK SPOT #2 - COS’ teachings and or practices are neither
"new" nor
"original."
OUR BEST WEAPONS: Keep in mind that one thing COS has an
abundance of
besides money and lawyers is massive shortages of original
thinking.
After all, in over 30 years they can’t seem to come up with
a logo or
icon any more original than the Cross of Jesus Christ despite the
fact
that Hubbard and COS have openly, repeatedly, and vehemently
denied and
disparaged him.
Therefore, repeatedly show and document how Hubbard and COS
stole,
borrowed, or re-wrote others’ ideas and teachings.
Repeatedly cite
references to parallels of its "unique" doctrines in
the literature of
other, especially pre-Hubbard or pre-COS, religions, cults or
movements.
For example, strong evidence suggests that Hubbard didn’t
even coin or
define the word "scientology" itself, but instead
"appropriated" both
word and defintion from a book by a 1930’s psychologist in
Germany.
WEAK SPOT #3 - Dependency on harassment and intimidation. Taking
the
first step in order to silence or discourage.
OUR BEST WEAPONS: Take the initiative and come out fighting from
the
gitgo –on the net, in the media, in the courts. Then the
very second we
get a crank call from a COS drone or even a form letter from a
COS
shyster RUN, do not walk, to a notary public, lawyer, or district
court
and prepare and file an appropriate affidavit. This is very
inexpensive
to do, usually requiring a small filing fee –about 25 to 50
bucks. In
some cases, banks will do affidavits for free for their
customers. Then
file ALL types and classes of suits and/or charges that are even
remotely
pertinent.
WEAK SPOT #4 - Dependency on manipulating critics and dissidents
into
hiding by engendering fear or insecurity or self-doubt.
OUR BEST WEAPONS: Adopt the premise that WE HAVE NO BUSINESS
RUNNING AND
HIDING FROM EVIL AND DARKENESS! Moses didn’t, the Hebrew
prophets didn’t,
Jesus and His Apostles didn’t, Martin Luther and the
Christian Reformers
didn’t! All confronted the evil forces of their times with
boldness and
backbone, AND conquered them! Recognize COS and its shyster army
for what
they are: A pack of cowards. Then BOLDLY defy them. Take
precautions for
personal safety, of course, but STOP HIDING! That’s what
they WANT us to
do! Instead, let’s BOLDLY and PUBLICLY declare ourselves,
our views, and
our intentions on the net, to the media, and to the general
public.
WEAK SPOT #5 - Messianic self-importance; UNDESERVED arrogance;
UNEARNED
pride; NO evident sense of humor.
OUR BEST WEAPONS: Remember that COS does NOTHING PRODUCTIVE or
LEGITIMATE
by the sweat of its own brow to merit even a micron of pride or
arrogance. It parasitically leeches off other peoples’
talents, labor,
and hard-earned money. After all, we’re not talking about
Bill Gates and
Microsoft here! Therefore, continually and repeatedly apply
generous
doses of parody, satire, ridicule, and sarcastic intellectual
debunking
–preferably all at the same time. Again, CC everything to
every COS
e-mail address we can find.
WEAK SPOT #6 - COS’ DEEP POCKETS and it’s preoccupation
with, focus on,
and apparent worship of MONEY.
OUR BEST WEAPONS: Identify all COS-owned or COS-tied businesses,
law
firms, real estate holdings, and other economic ventures and work
to
isolate them or ostracize them in the business community and in
the
market-place: 1. Identify and notify their clients,
subcontractors, and
service providers, making them fully aware of who they’ve
been dealing
with and helping to expand. 2. Publicize and inform the media of
the
names, addresses, and phone numbers of all COS or COS-tied
ventures and
their officers. 3. If harassed or confronted in any manner, sue
–for
TENS of MILLIONS, or more.
LET’S GO FOR THAT SOFT UNDERBELLY! The Cult of Scientology
started this
PSYWAR, it’s OUR turn and OUR job to finish it.
Yours for a COS-Free New Millennium . . . There are 722 days
remaining!
