I have posted a rather lengthy story about Germany's war against the Scientologists. It was long enough to preclude mailing it directly to the lists, so I have put it on my web site. You may find it at:

The L.A. Times ran a very impressive two-page article on this last week. The text compared the current steps by the German govt. to the steps taken against Jews by the Nazi govt. I happen to believe that Scientologists are dangerous, for how quickly they can ruin someone's mental state. But the article is interesting for the comparisons....

Heh, the top German Gov't anti-$cientoligist: "The state is obliged to protect its citizens from totalitarian organizations." I just love this whole thing. It's like two neighborhood bullies going at it in the school yard. It doesn't matter who wins, as long as it's long and bloody.

If it were "just bullies", we could all sleep easier at night. Alas, this is the next-generation manifestation of the anti-anti- Holocaust laws that have been in place for 40-50 years in Germany. There must be other countries with strong legal traditions similar to this one. Makes the picture much more complex. And don't forget, the conditions of Scientology's new tax exempt status are still secret.
