IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION  -- March 21, 2002 -- IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION 

On March 20th, Google caved in to a baseless legal threat from
Scientology's "Religious Technology Center", and removed the web site
xenu.net from all search results.  (Not just the cached pages. The
links, too.  Try it.)

The number one site for independent information about the Church of
Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, and most important of all, the tyrant
warlord XENU, has vanished from the number one search engine!

Since Google's web site is no longer an accurate reflection of the state
of Xenu (and Scientology) knowledge on the Internet, the

                       __  __                
                       \ \/ /___ _ __  _   _  
                        \  // _ \ '_ \| | | |
                        /  \  __/ | | | |_| |

will be visiting Google's headquarters IN PERSON to search for Xenu

               (This means you)

When:          3:45 PM, Thursday, March 21, 2002

Why:           To make sure that accurate information about Xenu is 
               available through Internet search engines.

               use some more shots)

               good Xenu (and Scientology) sites.
