Dull excuse for any improper English found on this site: English is not my first language, and I actually learned it late in life.

This site is dedicated to all the people that have worked to expose the Church of Scientology, especially the ones that stood up against it before the Internet became widespread. Some have paid dearly in standing up to expose Scientology (just ask Paulette Cooper.)

In March 2002, I became interested in Scientology when the Church of Scientology attempted to have links to xenu.net removed from Google listing (see this ZDNet article.) I wondered, "Hmm... What is it that Scientology doesn't want me to see?" I read a lot, enough to see the hidden face of Scientology, which is not pretty.

Consider the Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

It annoyed me highly that by removing links to critical information about Scientology from Google and from the internet, the Church of Scientology was stifling my right to have an informed opinion about Scientology. With this March 2002 event, I actually learned that the Church of Scientology has a very long history of trying to conceal factual information which it perceives to be damaging to Scientology. This site is my modest contribution to be sure that people seeking information about Scientology will also be able to see the other side, the one the Church of Scientology is trying to conceal.

Important note: This site contains a lot of materials from people who have stood up, one way or another, to expose the Church of Scientology. It used to be a very risky endeavour to talk openly about the hidden face of Scientology and that of its founder Hubbard. I still learn more about this regularly. Whether or not they have been shuddered into silence, the ones that stood up at one time or another long before I decided to do my bit are the ones deserving all our respects and admirations, these are the ones to be thanked – without them, there wouldn't be anything to web. Hubbard and his organizations were very well aware of that fact (hence Snow White).
