That's simply not true. <a href="http://www.operatingthetan.com">www.operatingthetan.com</a>
holds information about my<br>
adventures with the UFO cult and it is in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <br>

<br>
and if you Google "sex drugs cults" (without the quotes) the first
link<br>
will take you to an evolutionary psychology article I wrote on how cults <br>
get such a hold on human brains.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, if you want some low cost glory, now is the time to get into<br>
the fight. It looks very much like the scientology cult is on the
ropes<br>
and won't last out the year. Tom Cruise probably had more effect
than I did. <br>
