https://youtu.be/PL5s7fPTgO4 Dear Mr. Shelton: I deeply disagree with a few of your claims in your book Scientology: A to Xenu An Insider’s Guide to What Scientology is Really All About. It is obvious that while presenting your book as a factual guide, you are propagandizing in key areas, and in a way that serves certain purposes of the Scientologists and their collaborators. I will try to communicate my criticisms in the next few days as time allows. Right now, I am writing and … [Read more...] about Not a Rocket Scientist’s Guide to Insiders: Open letter to Chris Shelton

Exscientologists’ terrible humility: An open letter to Jon Atack
https://youtu.be/U4qMm2W9-YQ I am writing concerning some statements you made about Exscientologists in your foreword in Chris Shelton’s just-published book Scientology: A to Xenu. I am assuming you wrote what was published. There is considerable disinformation in the book, and, while presenting as critical of L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology, Scientologists and their collaborators, it actually serves their antisocial purposes in key areas and ways. I will take these up with Mr. … [Read more...] about Exscientologists’ terrible humility: An open letter to Jon Atack

Re: Fair use and posting Chris Shelton’s e-mail
Draco:And into the fray I go. I read what Gerry said on his blog. I do have a problem with the way he has posted this in that he appears to copy and paste his emails to Chris, but does not do the same with Chris's replies. Instead he paraphrases and expresses his interpretation of what Chris has said in reply to him. Why not just copy and paste Chris's replies and let us draw our own conclusions about this? I know it is his blog and he can do what he likes with it. The thing I dislike the most … [Read more...] about Re: Fair use and posting Chris Shelton’s e-mail
Secret Lives interview (1997)
This interview was in Vancouver, BC in 1997. I had left the US earlier that year when I had discovered online a piece of what the Scientologists filed to get their 1993 IRS tax exemption, which included black PR on me. I’ve written about this a number of times. Recently Caroline and I have assembled materials that show that the US Federal Government conspired with the Scientologists to violate public policy in the process of the grant of tax exemption.[1. See, e.g., the … [Read more...] about Secret Lives interview (1997)
Chris Shelton: logic and loyalty, on the line
Last year, someone sent me some Facebook posts of Chris Shelton that smeared me. Shelton’s purpose was obviously the same as cult head L. Ron Hubbard gave for Scientologists’ black propaganda: to help Ron, et al. destroy my reputation or public belief in me. I had never met Shelton to my knowledge. I had never communicated to him or about him, and he had never to my knowledge contacted me. His out-of-the-blue smearing related to the Scientologists’ IRS tax exemption, which I have shown was … [Read more...] about Chris Shelton: logic and loyalty, on the line
