The threat itself is another story, totally idiotic. But I'm not going to even concider it since it should never have been sent to me in the first place! How stupid can Scientology make these people??? Read and weep! I'll really be looking forward to this lawsuit, if they dare to do it.

A free community-oriented newspaper that is distributed widely throughout the
city of Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), called The Edmonton Examiner,
distributed in early June about 3100 copies with Freedom journal as an insert
into copies of the paper that were distributed near the University in which Dr.
Kent works. Freedom, of course, is published by the Church of Scientology
International. Dr. Kent contacted the newspaper and pointed out the contents of
the Freedom journal to the newspaper's publisher, who quickly added
an apology in a later edition of the paper.
In the same distribution area that had received the Freedom
journal insert, the Edmonton Examiner also included a
1 page insert from Dr. Kent, where he writes:
For readers who are bewildered about the debate between Scientology and me, I suggest that they do their own research. Logging on to "Operation Clambake" on the World Wide Web at http://www.xenu.net/ is the fastest way to access what usually is thoughtful and insightful information. Brace yourself, because you will not believe what you read. I urge you to pay particular attention to analyses of Scientology's Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) program, about which I have written and spoken extensively in Germany and elsewhere. Also read carefully about the tragic death of Scientologist Lisa McPherson which has even been the subject of a television news program on CBS's Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel earlier this year.

The newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad printed an article about Internet censorship which is a
hot subject in Norway now. The title was "Internet?
Ethichs, thanks!" Had a picture of a monitor with the Operation Clambake site and me,
and an interview on the subject of censorship.
The Norwegian netzine S-OL iD also published their article
about me and the fight against CoS. This is more personal about me, but also focus
around the fight against CoS. Maybe some DA material in here for CoS? All in Norwegian,
sorry, but some pictures for the incurable curious.

"Considering "Gratitude" [track 12] was based off of a dream I had when reading OTIII, it seemed only fair to credit the place where I had originally started to learn about such things, which was Andreas' website.It's essentially a way of saying "Thank you". And, if there are people out there like me who actually READ the inside cover of CD's, they'll perhaps look up the site and get informed."

This means Bob Minton and this web site was viewed in something like 10,780,000 homes last week
(1 rating point = 980,000 homes). The most viewed show in America that week!! No wonder even my ISP with the biggest
bandwidth in the world (TABNet) crumbled during and after the show!

The so-called Scientology bible, NOTs,
will stay public at the parliament in Sweden. To make a long story short: In Sweden they have something
called the "Offentlighetsprincip"
which is to secure public access to all information going in and out of public offices.
During the lawsuits against Zenon Panoussis who posted NOTs to the Net, someone mailed the evidence from
the lawsuit to the parliament and several other public offices. They were archived and put on
public display. For a year the Scientologists have guarded the public copy by sitting in the
library holding on to it (but only at one of the locations where it were available!), while they lobbied
the parliament and the government to change the Swedish constitution. Now the Swedish court
has ruled that the documents
can not be sealed, meaning anybody in the whole world can order the Scientology "secrets" from
the Parliament in Sweden! The ruling is final.

For all the years I've been reading Scientology publications, I can not recall ever seeing an apology before. In "Good News: A Scientology Newspaper" (undated, un-numbered, but copyright 1997) on page 5 is a "for the record" box. It tells that the last Good News had an incorrect attribution to the Norwegian Minister of Defense. "The recognition of LRH and The Way to Happiness was actually made by National Civil Defense Inspector, Mr. O. Meland..." and then it quotes Mr. Meland. Does anyone else remember ever seeing an apology in a Scientology publication?See the full story here
