As most of you know, in the last two months many Scn'ists from ANZO (especially the Sydney region), have left the ranks of the CofS. Some have just left, many are now members on this board, many more are 'lurking' on it and some still 'in' are still deciding - previously dedicated scn'ists are now being 'defiant' and are now looking instead of just listening to the PR lines from the CofS.
OSA has tried to deal with this situation, but to little or no avail until now;
- they have done their usual on the likes of Feral and I, in an effort to 'shut us down' or put us into hiding mode.....but it hasn't worked.
- they have been interviewing individuals in the field and spreading false data about us, in an effort to destroy our influence....but it hasn't worked to the degree that they would like it to.
- old friends, workmates, and past selectees of ours have been called in by the Flag mission (recently arrived in ANZO) and are being told outright lies about us.... but this hasn't worked or is not working to the degree that they want it to either.
So what does OSA do? They get smart and they employ the tactics that Panda describes in posts #'s 1 and 24 of this thread - http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?t=8249
OSA knows that many of it's field in ANZO who are curently sitting on the fence, are looking at this board. Why would they they not infiltrate it big time (on a scale they haven't done before), in order to put people off it? Well, of course they would - and in recent times, they have!
Yes, there will always be trolls, and eccentrics, and rabid antagonists. Why would OSA not increase the volume or degree of such - in an effort to make the once dedicated scientologist think that the board is just a bunch of scathing loonies, and then walk away or write it off?
Those who read all threads and all posts in the scn categories, would have noticed an increase in the amount of antagonism, disharmony, and rabid critics, etc, on the board of late. This recent increase does not fall into the category of the usual 'ebb and flow'.
We who are in contact with the scn'ists looking at the board, can attest that recently we have had negative feedback about the board that we didn't have before! OSA knows how to push the scientologist's buttons and knows what they will reject - they've put trolls on this board to push those buttons hard and they've been getting away with doing a good job!
Members falling prey to these OSA tactics - play right into OSA's hands. Hence this post! You may not care two hoots about what OSA may do to you personally, but do you care that possibly you are forwarding their purpose? By reacting to and feeding their trolls, you could well be not only putting off another scn'ist who (while still in doubt) is looking for the valuable truths that this board has to offer, but also doing yourself a disservice.
Please look at this, be aware of it and don't fall prey to it - or you are helping OSA and the CofS win.
