Based upon advice of counsel (in this case currently me), I have
decided that concurrent with my attestation to SP6 that my role
on alt.religion.scientology has been completed.

I am glad to report that my project of taunting the criminal cult
of scientology into acts that would tend to expose their criminal
motivation in harassing their critics has been completely
successful.

Even with my extreme hubris I admit that I am over my head as an
"In Pro Se" Defendant in a Federal Action. Nor do I have the
personal resources to litigate in a manner consistent with the
criminal cult. However I knew this when I decided as an
individual to get involved it the fight.

Since I have been fully aware of the nature of the criminal cult,
I will *not* ask for, nor will I accept money on behalf of my
litigation. I went into this fight for free speech as an
individual and I will leave as an individual. The net is evolving
toward a sentience and a distributed power that promises to be
the most significant technical contribution to achieving a
world-wide democracy that has occurred since the development of
the external Code of Hammurabi.

All concentrations of power that do not seek the truth have
something to fear from the net. The criminal cult of scientology
is merely the first coy flirt to what promises to be a sustained
orgy of attacks by organizations and governments that will fight
to preserve their power in the face of the inevitable. I am very
fortunate to have fought alongside the rest of you as this
struggle begins to define itself

In spite of the chaos and murk as the net changes to meet future
challenges and to create the new firmament, to me it is as
beautiful as seeing images of galaxies coalescing from dust.

Thank you all for the opportunity to learn something about myself
and to defend my constitution, both in the sense of a set of
ideas codified into a specific revolutionary document, but also
in the sense of the basic stuff that makes a human being a
creative force for freedom.
