Germany's constitution, written by the Allies at the end of WWII, contains a provision for an office "The Office for Protection of the Constitution" That office has determined officially that Scientology as an organization is a THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. I agree.

That trojan horse was used as the excuse to depose him, in what turned out to be a hilarious deposition http://www.lermanet.com/persecution/lonsdale.htm ------------- comment - and what happened!?: From Email last night Hey! Things went real well in CW today. (a person named on that LMT injunction) drove by in a new silver SUV and didn't seem to recognize me. was spotted walking around trying to talk with Anon later and that didn't last 5 min. before some of the Anon told them "F**K OFF" last seen scurrying back to their vehicle! BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! -------end-------- is there anyone who doubts whether scientology wanted an excuse to depose anonymous? However, anticipating a repetition of a successful action (They think we are so stupid) we made sure that Anonymous was warned about what happened to Sean Lonsdale...so that it would NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. Was it Selfishness or complicity? _________________ Who is Arnie Lerma? Gore Vidal on meeting L Ron Hubbard "He exuded evil, malice, and stupidity"
