When I read it, it was standard news, and not FUD. Now, there seems to be a claim of Urban Myth. Since this really was in the news, I don't think that it is an Urban Myth. I'm posting this as AC, and redirecting the conversation to a similar thread, here, if you want to continue the discussion.

if you read the story about google bombing last week you will realise that your criticism is more effective if you use links rather than plaintext.
Slashdot, Hows about an easier form. There has got to be a easier/better way to do it than typing in raw tags. the form even ignores me if i put in nicely formed line breaks like <br /> or use both opening and closing paragraph tags
any way here are the links

Here is an article about their interference at ground zero.

Scientologists Reed Slatkin, who ran the largest Ponzi scheme in American history, and Sky Dayton are co-founders of Earthlink, which is presently the third largest ISP in the USA.

I hope Sky Dayton's new company Boingo fails where other companies survive. I don't want the Church of Scientology running any wireless networks in my neighborhood, thank you.

Regarding what was reported by the German computer magazine c't:

Regarding M$ capitulation and offering to remove the code (the only time M$ has ever provided a patch to REMOVE a piece of software): http://www.zdnet.com/windows/stories/main/0,4728,2 650088,00.html

A recent issue of c't indicated that the disk fragmenter has silently been re-incorporated into Windows XP. Sorry, can't find a link.

Watch your back.

Oddly enough, Clearwater is also where the church of Scientology and anti-Scientology demonstrators frequently clash. Not that I'm saying that Microsoft and Scientology are similar in any way...

Scientoloy is not "illegal" in Germany and being a member of the cult does not make you an underground dissident.

But unlike the US, where it has been granted the status of a "religion" (and it is believed that this was done to get tax-exempt status), it is considered an unethical business here that is designed to leech money from its members.

If you ever read Scieno material, you will note that they will point out again and again that they have been granted this status of a religion in the US and try to use this as an external proof of trust into their practices.

It is true, though, that you will not be hired as a German government official if you are a member of Scientology. Since most German schools are funded by the state, this includes teachers.

The German view on Scientology has the organization running scared and spewing hatred towards the German government, often comparing today's treatment of Scientologists with the way Nazi Germany treated the jews. Internal documents reveal that this is done because they know that this is an easy button to press.

Strangely enough, the US government often just copies & pastes Scientologists' allegations against Germany in their yearly human rights report.

Look at some official reactions about these allegations.

The Scientology in Germany FAQ is an interesting read, too, as it covers many of the standard allegations used by the cult.

This is because Scientology is perceived in Germany neither as a church, nor as a sect, but as an organisation threatening the democratic system in germany. They are observed
by the german "Verfassungsschutz" and aswered this with a public relations campaign, even drawing parallels to the persecution of Jews in the Third Reich.
