It was pointed out to me this evening that the concept of a false truce is
included in Sun Tzu's "The Art of War", which is required reading for
$cientology's secret service.  The idea is to make one's opponent back off
from the fight, lose intensity, and fool him into thinking that you intend
to do the same.  While I have not yet attempted to find the particular
passage which documents this in the book, I find the hypothesis to be
valid, and I believe that this is the real motive behind the proposed
a.r.s "truce".  

The Church of $cientology and its agents have no credibility.  In fact,
they have proven again and again that their intentions are not honorable,
and that they cannot be trusted to do what they say or to follow the
principles to which they give lip service.  Those who have proposed this
truce will consider it a "win" if they cause some of the a.r.s activists
to cease their vigilance and their participation, even for a short span.

I consider it a transparent and pathetic ploy, and I, for one, will not
cooperate with it.
