Going Clear, Part 10 summary
Cult Awareness Network. Wright laments Cult Awareness Network being sued by individual Scientologists. But, he intentionally omits the substance of those suits. “The substance of it was that the Cult Awareness Network was being used literally as an arm of the Internal Revenue Service to investigate Scientology and Scientologists.” Cult Awareness Network (CAN) was serving as a propaganda arm for the IRS. And they were doing all this while enjoying tax exemption. But, by law they were required to present both sides of issues, in order to qualify as an exempt educational organization. The lawsuits were brought after Cult Awareness Network denied Scientologists membership in order to provide the other side of the Scientology story. “Not only would it refused to be balanced, they wouldn’t even let somebody participate who would provide the balance.” The lawsuits were meritorious under civil rights principles which CAN refused to abide. So, Wright forwards his propaganda by falsely promoting an anti-Scientology propaganda organization.
