> In case you have not seen a copy of this letter,
Thank you!!! I'll dump those puppies to paper and get then
transcribed and post them today. I'll also have to add the
whole Bowden stuff to Crackpots.ORG which I haven't done yet
since I was waiting for resolution.
I like their reasons... It wasn't because the citizens of
Bowdon were talking about lynching the crooks or riding them
out tarred and feathered on rails, no... It was "discovered"
that the facility would not be able to keep up with the number
of rubes being swindled. Now we get to see where these crooks
pop up next. Any bet that the facility they try to purchase
in the next unsuspecting township is the same size as the one
they tried to acquire in Bowdon?
Now the big question is, where will these people pop up next in
Georgia?
This was a first in the United States, to my knowledge, where the
Internet provided the mountain of information local citizens and
the local media needed to discover on-the-fly everything they
needed to know about an organization that threatened to set up
shop in a township. The previous one was Gloschestershire in the
United Kingdom. In both cases once the local citizens were made
well aware of the lies and deceptions as well as the _criminal_
history of the notorious organization, the township mobilized to
protect themselves.
I'd like to hope that Bowdon will become something of a centerpiece
for future episodes -- of not only Scientology trying to pull the
same old Carpet Bagger stunt but all like minded quackery scams
which will without doubt launch up in greater numbers across the
United States thanks to the unfortunate notion that tax money can
be applied toward religious schools. Coupled to tax-subsidized
"faith based charities" and we can expect to see many
more Scientology-like frauds and scams launch up accross the board.
Thanks for the information you've provided. It's _great_ seeing
activists so well plugged in and connected.
