“Internal dissention is what tears these splinter groups apart. Formed by people whose overt acts against Scientology prevent case gain, they rapidly rip one another to pieces.

“They are quite violent on the subject of ethics as you ordinarily expect a criminal to be and are savage about organizations, having stolen money and lists from ours. They are being careful not to attack me publicly in the hopes people will think them noble and inspired. They’re inspired all right – by the ‘buck.’ But we wish them no bad luck. We don’t have to. It’s punishment enough just to be themselves and live with what they are.”

– L. Ron Hubbard
