The Church of Scientology: Why It Must Be Stopped (Part 1)

by DMSlaughter
Sun May 11th, 2008 at 07:52:32 PM EST

The Rehabilitation Project Force, or RPF for short.  It is a little-known branch of Scientology's elite corps of followers.  However, it is where the elite go when they have fallen from the Church's good graces.  It is also one of the more controversial policies the Church has, and is (like nearly all of their policies) cloaked in the right to practice religion.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them..."
--Karl  Popper

"Working for the Clampdown": The American Conservative Sounds the Alarm

by DMSlaughter
Thu Apr 26th, 2007 at 11:06:23 PM EST

It only took a few paragraphs in a $500 billion, 591-page bill to raze one of the most important limits on federal power.

How's that for an opening line? Listen: this is how many Democrats and Republicans handed over another nugget of power to our dear Chimperor in September of 2006:

This Week on the Terror Timeline

by DMSlaughter
Fri Feb 9th, 2007 at 12:39:52 AM EST

Paul Thompson's The Terror Timeline is the indispensable research tool for anyone interested in the events leading up to, during, and after the events of September 11th, 2001.  

I'm introducing a weekly installment that will showcase an item found on the Timeline.  Some of you might find this a pointless exercise.  Others will find some if not all of the items fascinating.  I will present these items--all newsclippings that can be cross-referenced in mainstream news in some capacity or another--in their raw form, meaning with little or no commentary--rarely will I break this rule.  "Why not comment?" you might be asking.   Paul Thompson says it best: "...[my] purpose...is not to theorize, or speculate, but to compile the facts as they are known to date, based on what has been reported on this issue."  Investigate for yourself. See where the rabbit hole takes you, if you're up for it.  

I hope you find at least some of them worth the short read.
