Lyle has for years been writing and mailing out a newsletter for
Barricade he calls "Hot News," some of which are archived on his web
site http://www.barricadebooks.com/
I just received the August 2004 newsletter, which has some hot news
indeed.

Controversy to Come:
Barricade has just acquired ~Gagged~, an astounding manscript by Gerry
Armstrong. He is the former personal archivist of Scientology cult
founder L. Ron Hubbard.
What the Scientologists, their lawyers, and their hired thugs have
done for the past twenty-two years to silence Armstrong about this
"religion" and his experiences is beyond thriller fiction. Assaults,
assassination threats, frame-ups, six lawsuits, dozens of manufactured
criminal charges, millions in legal fees, an Everest of black
propaganda, freeway terror in the U.S. and autobahn terror in Germany.
In 1995 a California Superior Court judge pronounced an end to the
First Amendment guarantee of free religious exercise, and ordered
Armstrong totally gagged about his religious beliefs. When Armstrong
continued to express his religious beliefs about Scientology, the same
judge, doing the cult's bidding, ordered him jailed and issued
warrants for his arrest.
Armstrong refuses to be gagged, by cult or court. This book is what he
has to say. Barricade is proud to be publishing his words.
Many unanswered questions swirl around the Scientology cult, such as
who or what killed L. Ron Hubbard?
* Was he really dysphasic in his final years, or does that diagnosis
cloak a more sinister reality?
* Why does the U.S. Government treat Scientology as a state religion?
* Why was National Security Advisor Sandy Berger assigned to handle
Scientologists in the White House during the Clinton years?
* What is the real relationship between the cult and the Bush
Administration?
* What does Gerry Armstrong know that is worth $50,000 a word?
Armstrong does not definitively answer all of these questions. But
what he does say is perspicacious, revelatory and revolutionary. A
clever literary talent, Armstrong has balanced his thoroughly
researched revelations with his own soul searching to arrive at
shocking truths he delivers with lyrical grace.
The script runs more than 900 typewritten pages and is currently
safely ensconced in a vault!

Until next time,

I responded to your lenghty respons.
It as you wrote: "I have hoped a long time to have a conversation with
a Scientologist on this basis."
Please, be my guest!

I think $cientology is hurting people and breaking the law, and I
want them to stop it. See http://www.scientology-lies.com for more.

Happy to read of Lyle's plans for another book. Give him my regards when you
contact him again. He is among my favorites--He has 'crossed the river' .
