On Bahai Liberty

The Prisoner of Akka, Baha'u'llah, lived much of His life deprived of
liberty, harassed and suppressed by the tyranny of one despot or another,
yet He envisions a world of global freedom and universal...

95 Theses of the Reform Bahai Faith

Please feel free to share and distribute, in any manner, preferably in full,
these 95 Theses.

To His Great Ends, the Reform Bahai Faith invites all souls to a Convocation
of celebration, brotherhood, and Reform, during Ridvan, 2006.

The Reform Bahai Faith, calling to mind the sufferings and imprisonment of
the Bab, Baha'u'llah, and Abdu'l-Baha, under the brutal oppression of
tyrannical regimes, bent upon silencing and destroying their testimony of
God's New Day, resolves

1. To witness the truth of the deviation of the organized, incorporated
Baha'i Faith from the Path, and its imposition of manifest corruptions and
innovations, over many lamentable decades, that have wrought ever-increasing
alienation, fear, censorship, coercion, misrepresentation, distortion, and
damage, all the stratagems of despots and dictators, political and
religious, upon individual Bahais, their families, and the community of
believers.

2. To seek afresh His Will, as at the dawn of a New Day, whereby the
earth is born anew and man stands transparent before God's manifestation of
His Will.

Baha'i fundamentalists are highly adept at manipulating
and controlling information / disinformation and public
perception, on and off the Internet.

I caution you that appearances are deceiving on Wikipedia,
talk.religion.bahai and alt.religion.bahai, as elsewhere
in bahai cyberspace, BeliefNet, Talisman9, "unenrolled" Baha'i
Yahoo Group, the DMOZ and Google directories, and so on,
all of which have been prime arenas of Baha'i propaganda
and used to identify and manage dissent.

Why I Don't Respond to Fundamentalists

Why I Don't Respond to Fundamentalists
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Why1.htm

Having observed the tactics of fundamentalists among
my fellow bahais for over twenty-seven years, I've learnt
a few things about the way they operate:

1. Ad Hominem, Scapegoat, Libel, Slander, Defame, Demonize,
Cast in a False Light, Ostracize, Shun, Banish, Smear, Discredit,
Suppress, Attack, Bully, Intimidate, Threaten, Malign, Silence,
Harass, Deceive, etc., etc., the individual...all of which has
become known as "The Baha'i Technique":

2. Lure into supposed discussion then cut the jugular.

"According to the direct and sacred command of God we are forbidden to utter
slander." --Abdu'l-Baha

"Unmeasured vituperation employed on the side of the prevailing opinion
really does deter people from professing contrary opinions and from
listening to those who profess them." --John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
(51-52).

Compare the bahai tactics to the communist cadre or The Modern Inquisition
of Catholicism.

talk.religion.bahai on Usenet
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Usenet.htm

The only unmoderated, i.e., uncensored forum on the Internet for discussion
of all things Baha'i. Note well that one of the tactics of Baha'i
fundamentalists regarding talk.religion.bahai is, and has been, to pollute
the atmosphere with disinformation and discredit liberals with abuse and
slander, so that they can then point to talk.religion.bahai as what happens
without supposedly superior control and restraint on free speech and
conscience, extolling their tightly controlled mouthpiece,
soc.religion.bahai.

Similarly, most of the Baha'i discussions groups on Yahoo that are
moderated are used, or have been used at times, to identify and control
dissenters, including "unenrolled" Baha'i, Bahai-Apologetics, and talisman9.
A concomitant result on all forums, as on BeliefNet, is preventing the
development of serious critical thought, reflection, and discussion.
Further,
the abuse liberals are subjected to convinces independently minded
Baha'is to remain silent and keep a low profile, which is precisely the aim
of fundamentalists.

bahai-apologetics & BCCA (Bahai Computer and Communication Association)
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/BCCA_Ap.htm

The Yahoo Group bahai-apologetics appears to be used by the BCCA and
fundamentalist Baha'is to coordinate, as they have using other mailing
lists,
disinformation and marshal surveillance and censorship of Baha'i related
websites, discussion groups, encyclopedias, Usenet, databases, and so forth,
which is very difficult for the infrequent, casual observer to detect and
realize.

The BCCA (Bahai Computer and Communication Association) has a long history
of censoring Baha'is on the Internet. See the BCCA Menu page.

I highly recommend people interested in understanding the Baha'i Wars
read this entire book.

During the last few years since the formation of talk.religion.bahai in
1999, numerous fundamentalist posters have slandered, libeled, and maligned
anyone on talk.religion.bahai who does not share their fundamentalist views
of the Baha'i Faith. Such people have a very long record of harassing people
on AOL, talk.religion.bahai, talisman9, BeliefNet, and other Internet
discussion groups, which even a glance at the links below will confrim.

The situation has become intolerable and we are reclaiming the electronic
territory by exposing what they have done to others, as attested
to by roughly a DOZEN people regarding their incessant lying, bullying,
abuse, and deceit:
