Analysis
Scientology threatens Wikileaks over secret cult bibles, Church of Scientology's 'Operating Thetan' documents leaked online

Summary
The collected secret "bibles" of Scientology, a global cult founded by science fiction author and con-man L. Ron Hubbard and popularized by the membership of Hollywood celebrities such as Tom Cruise. The collation appears to have been smuggled out by a renegade Scientology group known as "Freezone". The document has been verified by a Scientology (Religious Technology Center) legal demand to Wikileaks to remove the material (see 'Note' below). An analysis of the PDF metadata dates the document collection to 1995. In Scientology terminology the materials represents OT (Operating Thetan) "levels" I to VIII and "NOTs". A portion of the material is in Hubbard's distinctive handwriting. Some of the materials have previously appeared, most notably in the so-called "Fishman Affidavit" although the cult has been aggressive and hitherto largely successful in preventing public dissemination. Others, for example, OT VIII appear to be original to this collection.
A former Scientologist contacted by Wikileaks and known to have studied OT8, states that material marked "OT8 (old)" he has seen before, but that he does not have a recollection of "OT8 (new)" (which the text describes as having been put together based on the recall of one or more of the renegade group).
