Here is a rant supposedly posted by high ranking CoS big wig in response to Wikipedia hitting them with the banhammer. I haven’t had time to double check to see if it’s real or not, but either way, it’s a good read. And as there is a good chance that it will be taken down, I think I’ll just go ahead and reproduce it here as well, just in case. Full rant after the jump:
In the wake of Wikipedia’s unfortunate decision to ban all Scientologists from what is supposed to be “the encyclopedia that everyone edits,” the Scientology religion’s chief executive officer Mr. David Miscavige has issued a statement.
“Like all Scientologists, I am outraged that in the 21st century, it is acceptable for Wikipedia’s ArbCom to commit such a despicable hate crime as blocking Scientology parishioners from editing Wikipedia in the comfort and security of Scientology-owned properties. Blocking the IP addresses of computers located at Scientology’s Pac Base, Int Base and Celebrity Centre is just a way to force Scientology parishioners into an undesired beingness. What’s next, will Scientologists have to wear yellow, six-pointed stars on our clothing?”
“The goal of Scientology is a sane world, without criminals, without psychiatric terror, without war. Ultimately, the goal of Scientology is sanity itself. Only the insane would attempt to stop Scientology. With this brutal decision, not only is Wikipedia criminally attacking the world’s most ethical people, members of the Scientology religion, but it is preventing Scientologists from presenting our religion in the most positive and truthful light. There is so much nonsense on the internet about Scientology, all of which was written by anti-religion extremists in the employ of the Psychiatric-Pharmaceutical industry. Many are also being paid by certain depraved, degenerate factions within the German government. You can’t believe any of it. If these scumbags had their way, all children would be psych-drugged into oblivion, most eventually becoming high school gunmen; vicious de-programmers would constantly be leaping out from shadowy corners; there would be all-night electroshock parlors on the high street of every village, town and city; and anyone who tried to live an ethical life would quickly receive an icepick lobotomy. This is why it is necessary for Scientologists to try to present a balanced perspective, by showcasing all the good things about the Scientology religion, and removing all the lies.”
“The Scientology religion is the only major religion to have emerged in the 20th century. It is the world’s fastest growing religion, found in over 264 countries, with tens of thousands of new people becoming Scientologists every day. Scientology was accepted as a religion by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 1993. Scientology has also been declared a bona-fide religion by Mr. Frank Flynn, Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the University of Kansas. Scientologists in the United States enjoy tremendous tax advantages, not available to members of other religions. Many celebrities are Scientologists, and ordinary public Scientologists sometimes get to meet them. As members of a minority religion, Scientologists deserve to be treated fairly, which means that we should be allowed to do things that other groups may not do. In this way, we are just a little bit compensated for all of our humanitarian efforts and our sharing of Mr. L. Ron Hubbard’s extremely workable technology.”
“Make no mistake: WE are the ones making huge progress in the Global Obliteration of Psychiatry. Wikipedia is acting at Big Psychiatry’s beck and call. We do not find critics of Scientology who do not have criminal backgrounds.”

Those of you familiar with Godwin’s Law should find the humor in this one. Also, I believe that this means that Scientology automatically loses the argument…
