Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies. I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report. - Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

Kisser ,Crime Drugs and Frivolous Litigation
Late word from Chicago has it that Cynthia Kisser,executive
Director of CAN, has admitted in deposition that she
was personally involved in deprogrammings. She also refused to
answer questions about her own use of illegal drugs,in at least
one instance since her tenure as Executive Director of CAN began,
on the grounds that she might incriminate herself. These
admissions supposedly came in the defamation case that Kisser
filed against Scientology in federal court in Chicago; they seem
to leave little chance that Kisser was, or could be, defamed. An
identical case which was dismisssed from Cook County Circuit
Court this past spring, has now caused a judge to order that
Kisser pay the defendants' legal costs for filing frivolous
litigation. Thus Kisser will soon need to explain to her family
and fans,why she must write a check for thousands of dollars to
the Church of Scientology,and why she cannot even deny under oath
that she has used cocaine since becoming the Executive Director
of CAN.A history of illegal drug use won't endear Kisser to
long-time,conservative CAN activists like Hope Hinde and Ann
Olander in Illinois. It certainly will limit her budding
relationship with Christian Right figures Craig Branch and James
Walker, and with political lobbyist David Bardin and German
government official Hans Werner Karlhoff as well. Candidates for
Kisser's replacement:Marty Butz,Jeff Jacobsen,Corey Slavin,Arnie
Markowitz,Carol Giambalvo,Paul Grosswald and Huheyniaman.
