Good points are raised in the following posts....two key points are not addressed however, I will mention them here then I recommend one read the post I left in tact below:

1. Safe was exposing crimes of current management of the cult in deleting and changing Hubbards writings, called sacred scriptures by the cult.

He is *required to do so by the rules laid out by Hubbard. and was posting those rules.

2. *Why* does the cult need the names and addresses of its critics? I goes to great lengths to get this information, but only files law suits in some cases...it wants apparently to know *where* each critic is.

I might suggest that in light of past events, murders, and disappearances of people who had just quit the cult or announced they were quitting, or began to talk is more than faintly relevant here. The criminal cult of scientology knows full well the number of critics who are most active and influential, and could very very easily arrange to have us *murdered..... 5 such killings would slow up justice dramatically....... 50 such killings would decimate their opposition, and send critics who wish to keep breathing or with children to raise into hiding.

We are classified by Hubbard in his book Dianetics Modern Science of Murder (or maybe it was Mental Health), as in a group of people that he recommended be disposed of quietly and without sorrow, and elsewhere wrote policy that we should be lied to, ruined, set up, "or of course destroyed utterly if possible"

These are simple facts. The dead bodies are piling up....people who were breathing a day two before they left the cult....were found, hung, shot, drowned, poisoned, dead at the base of a tall building, or just died as Lisa did, starved to death, tied to a bed and injected with chloral hydrate.

Liability issues:

Current cult staff, FSM's and cult members are contributing to and funding these crimes sometimes directly, by setting up a critic, committing wire fraud, libel, sabotaging a critic in the business community, or in the case of top management hiring the thugs and killers to do the job..... this has been long documented and cult members sent to PRISON around the world for this activity.... this is NOT speculation.

Right now the US govt is protecting the cult, granting it a tax exemption and defending it in Germany. Those issues are just now being brought up on the NG. As this is exposed, the protection will cease, and the cults current staff, and publics, especially FSM's are going to be held criminally liable for these activities.....as individuals. There are now many of us who will now see to that in light of the cults increasingly more ruthless activity.

and unfortunately there apparently is no shortage of cult members, executives, who are infact willing to commit murder to perpetuate their criminal insanity.

The time to involve the Justice Department, and the FBI and congress through appeals to United States citizens at large has arrived.

-------Signature File---------------

It appears that one is the product of his or her actions.

In Life, we have the incredible opportunity to do the decent thing, and transcend darkness !. No matter how well justified, indecent behavior, lying, and abuse of all sorts ruin their host.

Progress and success in life, it seems is marked by truth and decent behavior, most especially as it concerns oneself.

By willful failure to be decent, a person condemns themselves to the dark regions.....and any who agree with the behavior... it is apparently that a person becomes what he or she creates.. it is not just a game.

One cannot apparently be good and evil on a whim, and not be forever changed by the darkness he or she has created.

In an attempt to dominate with lies, one becomes indeed the father of lies....and that is apparently a fatal association.
