Scientology has many tricks.
Many are used in both the fake rehab centers they own like Narconon Fresh Start and Elevate Addiction Services and more traditional Scientology.
Number 188:
A former member of the Church can be difficult to handle. The last thing the Church wants is for a former member with inside knowledge of the inner workings of this religious enterprise to spread negative information about the Church.
One solution would be to simple kill that former member who speaks out about the Church, but Scientology Trick Number 188 does more than that.
What they will do is write a death threat to themselves claiming the former problematic member sent it to them.
Then they contact the police who would never suspect a Church Member in good standing would write a death threat to them self and claim it is from an angry ex-member who has written angry emails to them.
The mind of the police officers instantly go to the part of the human brain that attempts to process the struggle our society has with mentally ill and angry people.
The police focus becomes preventing this disgruntled former member from terrorizing Church members who are following the rules and are keeping their membership in good standing by abiding by the rules and not threatening others.
In at least one case a former member has been contacted by police regarding a death threat they believed that former member wrote and arrested the former member.
The former member in at least one case killed them self as a result of the police charges.
Problem is solved from their end.
Scientology continues to be successful in causing deaths of those who speak against them.

Threatening, a Scientology practice
«Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.» — L. Ron Hubbard, "Code of Honor", The Creation of Human Ability, p. 5
«Hubbard repeatedly predicts death or disaster for those who oppose scientology.» — Kevin Victor Anderson, "Scientology and Religion", Report of the Board of Enquiry into Scientology
«As religious zealots, Scientologists exceed any that have gone before.» — Cyril Vosper, "Ethics", The Mind Benders
Tom Cruise is on the record stating that people who criticize Scientology are bigots [Access Hollywood] and "haters" [Spiegel]. Actually, his comments are expected given Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard's views on people who happen to criticize Scientology (and for good reasons):
«If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace.»
— L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 15 August 1960, Dept. of Govt. Affairs
«A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable.»
— L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL of 1 March 1965, "Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists"
«ENEMY SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.»
— L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 18 October 1967
«The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the Tone Scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered.»
— L. Ron Hubbard, Science of Survival, p. 170
«2001 saw us shooting down SPs like 'ducks in a pond.'»
— David Miscavige, International Scientology News, Issue 20
etc.
Ironically, while Tom Cruise states that people critical of Scientology are bigots, bigotry is actually inherent to the belief system of Scientology, as seen with the above excerpts of Hubbard's writings (there are many more). Therefore the following threats by scientologists seem only a natural result of Scientology's own scriptures. Tom Cruise needs to learn more about his "Church" before throwing the word "bigot" at people critical of Scientology.
«Two Scientology members were found guilty in Toulon this month, and are awaiting sentencing, for threatening Jean-Marie Abgrail, a psychiatrist and expert witness in the Lyon trial.» International Herald Tribune (Oct 2, 1996): "Scientology is fighting for its future in France"
«I hope cancer will soon infest into your body and hopefully finally you will be erased.» Directed at Andreas Heldal-Lund. See the whole thread here.
«Shortly thereafter, he received a call from a stranger asking if his mother knew that he was working on a story about Hill. The caller then recited the writer's mother's home address. Soon after, the story was killed.»
«"Sarah" says that one of her cohorts received a text message from an unidentified number bearing the message: "If you know what's good for you, you'll stop lying about Scientology. This is your last warning."»
Radar (March 17, 2008): "Cult Friction" by John Cook
«"One day two well-built men in dark suits from Saint Hill arrived at my door," she said. "I told them my husband wasn't in but they forced their way in and started riffling through the bookshelves. When my husband returned they bundled him into the car. "Finally he came back shaking from head to toe. He told me they'd threatened to kill him if he didn't tell him the whereabouts of some stolen documents."» The Daily Mail (May 19, 2007): "'Tom Cruise's Church of hate tried to destroy me'"
«After a very controversial show last week about the Church of Scientology it will be very interesting to see if J.T. Foxx is even alive to do the show this week as he has been threatened.» JT Foxx Show: "What's on Next Week" (as of Mar. 10, 2007)

The Secrets of Scientology
The Church of Scientology is a rich and vengeful religious cult, or as one critic puts it, "a cross between the Moonies and the Mafia." But it would be a mistake to dismiss its underlying technology as harmless or ineffective. Scientologists know a great deal about thought control, social control, rhetorical judo (defeat by misdirection, deft use of logical fallacies) and high pressure sales, though as victims of their own technology, they wouldn't characterize it that way.
Despite its extensive advertising campaign, including half-hour TV infomercials for Dianetics, the Church has been careful to maintain a veil of mystery about its teachings, in part by outlawing any meaningful discussion or analysis of them. (See the policy bulletin prohibiting verbal tech.) To learn the inner secrets of the cult requires years of strict obedience and large monetary donations.
In return, Scientology promises its adherents "total freedom". The Internet, through sites like this one, is going to make good on that promise. This web site is dedicated to exposing the various technical tricks behind Scientology, until all its secrets have been laid before the public at no charge.
