Wayback Machine Purged of Scientology Criticism

muldrake writes "The Wayback Machine, an archive of websites as they appeared in their past incarnations, is reported by CNET in this story as having censored the Scientology-critical Xenu.net, in a repeat of the heavy-handed tactics used against Google as reported in this previous Slashdot thread."

Just another in a series.

It's very typical of the Church's actions; it's very typical of reactions to the Church's actions; and the next obvious step is public pressure from those who have an opinion, resulting in a very typical denoument: reversal of the removal. Ah, this was probably a very typical comment, adding nothing of interest. Go ahead and mod it down.

Slashdot..

[Galahad2]

Wow.. Slashdot has looked the same for ever . I guess us nerds like to be mired in traditio... er... consistant. I mean, without the dates, old news, and missing images, I don't know if I could tell the difference.

God Damn these Scientologists!!!

[RestiffBard]

oh, wait. he already has.

This might be the stark fist of removal

that the church of the subgenius tells us to
beware of. It's a much more logical church
than the SoC. Some examples:

"You'd PAY to know what you REALLY think." --Dobbs 1961

"This is the original Time Control program that has helped thousands to fear no longer the STARK FIST of REMOVAL."

"Follow your FOLLIES and COMPULSIONS and become rich like us"

Many many similarities actually. And it's easy
to become an ordained minister. Check it out.

Score this as yet another victory for "Operation Footbullet."

And at that point, when said person has nothing much to live for anymore and certainly nothing to lose, Scientology HQ will go up in a big orange-red ball of ammonium nitrate and diesel oil.

And then Scientologists learn what Hindus have known for centuries: Karma's a bitch.

Frankly, I'm surprised that it hasn't happened already. But with their present behavior, it's only a matter of time.

Ya ain't whistlin' Dixie.
