Accurate Review of HEREafter, May 9, 2010
By James C. Harwood "James C. Harwood"
This review is from: Hereafter: Book 1: A Mild Case of Death (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
The review here at Amazon by SandRider is absurd, especially since he has never read my novel. He has accused me of copyright violation, theft, and of being a member of the Church of Scientology based on the Introduction I wrote for my novel. SandRider has crossed the line into LIBEL, a crime, the written version of slander. I have nothing whatsoever to do with the Church of Scientology, and neither does my science fiction novel titled HEREafter. It was first published as a paperback book in May 2003, and then an ebook in May 2004. It is now only available as a free "blog fiction" novel posted at my blog, with the complete HEREafter Glossarium - an aid to readers and future writers of the HEREafter "shared universe" [look it up at Wiki] concept series. The blog is to become monetized, so I will make money from ads. It is like commercial television for which viewers watch for free [except for some paying for cable TV access], while the commercials pay for the TV shows. It is possible for books readable on the Internet to work the same way. This is an experiment to make fiction available to readers for free. Now you can go to my Amazon profile, and there click on the link to my blog website, and then there click on the cover picture of the novel to access the free version. Enjoy! Judge it for yourself! Pay no attention to Internet trolls engaging in celebrity stalking, cyber stalking, and libel. I angered the SandRider troll because I am a fan of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and the DUNE novels written by them, and SandRider is opposed to anyone other than Frank Herbert [who is now deceased] writing new DUNE novels, and hates any fans who support them.

James C. Harwood apparently has a difficult time with reading comprehension, and reality.
I didn't "accuse" him of being a Scientologist (which in and of itself is not a crime, just flaky)
I just wondered aloud it he MIGHT BE an uncreative Scientologist who took the basic story
of Earth as taught by the COS and wrote his book - and again wondered aloud if the COS caught
wind of it and told him to stop it -impossible, of course, because the only people in the entire
world that have even remotely heard of Harwood or his book are those Dune fans he's stirred up
all over the net with his insane ramblings, threats of Civil Action & reports to the FBI, and baseless
accusations of "crashing his computer with a virus" .... BTW, visit his "monetized" blahg if you want to,
he WILL publish your IP address there and accuse you of being an OH and report you to the FBI ...
great PR there, too, Jimmy .... you really are a professional science fiction author,
right up there with TheKJA ...
anyway, read the intro he wrote himself for this book, compare this storyline with the storyline
of the True History of Earth as propagated by the COS, tell me where the differences lie ...

not his fault - he didn't attend TheKJA's pro-writing seminar,
where setting up sockpuppet accounts and paying retarded winos
to post 5-star reviews was taught ... and Jimmy doesn't have access
to the secret COS section at KJASF, so he doesn't know about using
the Church to pump up review stars - of course, when the COS does
find out about this book, Jimmy's in a lot of trouble, anyway ...

Body Thetans
Scientologists have heard about "Thetans", "theta" as well as "theta bodies" perhaps, but they won't have heard the term "Body Thetans", nor will they be able to find it in their Tech dictionaries.
This is because the information is being withheld from them until they reach a secret level in Scientology known as "OT III". On this level, they are told that they are full of the Thetans (or souls) of murdered space-aliens. Roughly 2,500 of them. And they have to talk to them telepathically to make them go away. These aliens were once part of the local galactic confederation of 75 million years ago, ruled over by the evil galactic overlord Xenu (sometimes said as Xemu).
The galactic confederation supposedly consisted of 22 suns with their 76 inhabited planets. That makes three or four inhabited planets per sun. This fits in with L. Ron Hubbard's view that other planets in our own solar system were inhabited, namely Venus (whose government is monitored by the Fifth Invader Force -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Venusian.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), Mars (inhabited by the earlier Fourth Invader Force -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Mars.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and Jupiter (by people who he said would look like Eskimos -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Jupiter.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
These aliens were supposedly similar in appearance to ourselves as we are now. The average populations of these planets was 178 million or 250 million on average (both figures are quoted in the same line on the handwritten OT III document).
This was an overpopulation problem for Xenu. To solve it he called most of the inhabitants of these planets in for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of a mixture of alcohol and glycol into their lungs to paralyze them. They were then frozen and put on DC-8 identical space-planes and flown across space to planet Earth (then called Teegeeack) http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/DC-8s.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If the story is to be believed, then this would have happened to about 4 trillion people. The story makes it clear that the actual corpses of people were transported to Earth. Supposing each DC-8 could carry 200 frozen bodies in refrigerated units at a time and the excess population per planet was 100 million, then 500,000 DC-8 space-plane flights would have been required to ship these people to Earth. If the return trip were 6 weeks, as mentioned in the "Assists" lecture in relation to the three weeks from Coltice to Earth, and if this were all achieved in six months, then each planet would have required 125,000 DC-8 space-planes.
When the people arrived on Earth, all 4 trillion of them were stacked around ten or so volcanoes and then nuked. After they were nuked their Thetans (souls) were captured in electronic beams, boxed up and taken to cinemas. There they were shown pictures of what life on Earth should be like and they were also shown false pictures of God and Christ to instill a religious fervor in them that would make them less effective and so easier to control.
The Thetans were frozen, again, in alcohol and glycol - a supposed very effective way for capturing Thetans. The start of these films was unusual in that the first two days of it were taken up with a helicopter about to crash ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Helicopt.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) After watching these films, which lasted several days, these Thetans clustered together and now inhabit our bodies.
These films supposedly set the scene for the future. The houses, theaters, trains, boats, planes etc. of the late 1950's were supposed to be copies of those at the time of this incident and the same as those shown to the body Thetans in the films. Hence society of the 1950's was a copy of what life was like 75 million years ago. And since these images were implanted in these body Thetans and they were required to act out these scenes, then this was a block to further progress. In inhabiting our bodies, we too inherit these images which then govern our lives. Indeed, we are, in most cases, one of these same body Thetans - it is just that we are the one in charge or the "leader" body thetan or controller.
Scientologists are required to exorcise all these body Thetans if they are to make spiritual progress within their religion. Once gone then they are supposed to regain their own powers. They talk to them telepathically to make them go away. This whole incident, as described, is known as "R6", or "Incident Two". In liberating these body Thetans it is important to get to the first time something like this happened. It is called "getting the basic on the chain of events".
This was not the earliest incident though, since there was supposedly an Incident 4 quadrillion years ago, called Incident One, in which Thetans were confused by a chariot charging at them as well as a cherub blowing a horn before blackness was dumped on them. If these body Thetans are reminded of this then they leave the body readily and with some noise and energy. L. Ron Hubbard described how he readily achieved this on himself ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/BTs.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
When the body Thetans (or "BTs") leave, they are Clear and are able to operate as Thetans. They have become "Operating Thetans" - a high goal in Scientology. They then supposedly decide to be flowers or butterflies.

James C. Harwood says:
SandRider aka Professor Ronald J. Craig of Ibaraki University in Japan wrote: "...but the description seemed familiar - like maybe, IDK, the entire basis of L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology ? So I was wondering if Mr. Harwood is a Scientologist with very limited imagination, or just lifted the entire idea for his novel, and then got a cease&desist order from Tom Cruise, and that's why the series stopped at Book One..." And then writes: "...and Jimmy doesn't have access to the secret COS section at KJASF, so he doesn't know about using the Church to pump up review stars - of course, when the COS does find out about this book, Jimmy's in a lot of trouble, anyway..."
So which is it? They already know about my novel and stopped publication? Or they don't know about it yet and I'll be in trouble when they do find out? Maybe you should bring it to their attention, Professor Craig, if you really believe all of your own fabricated nonsense. But then you would be exposing yourself for your libel of them as well as me.
I've made it clear I'm not one of them - not a Scientologist.
And what is that nonsense about a "secret COS section at KJASF" you mentioned? What does Kevin J. Anderson and his Special Forces website - which you don't have access to - have to do with the Church of Scientology?
I hadn't before heard of or read about the Body Thetans subject. I'd heard rumors of such bizarre activities and strange beliefs, but never specifics like what you just presented. The information is interesting but disturbing, crazy if any Scientologists actually believe any of that. Some of that report reads more like the usual troll flaming, so I have to wonder how much of it is accurate and not just more libel. There is nothing in my novel that is even remotely like any of that, but you would not know because you have never read it, and only base your idiotic conclusion on the short Introduction.
I wonder how Ibaraki University feels about your use of the Internet to engage in celebrity stalking, cyber stalking, and libel, as well as vandalism of websites and destruction of private property. I believe the real reason why you stayed in Japan is to feel safe there from enemies you have created in the USA.

James C. Harwood says:
It's not going to do any good. I'm sure you know by now, especially after the troll war at Amazon about a year ago with David James and the others, I just found out about, that Amazon does not bother to enforce its own policies. And you should know, Amazon refused to remove my book listing when I legally ordered them to do so, after I legally terminated the contract with the publisher for theft. I am the one who stopped publication. They didn't know I put my email address in the book for readers to contact me after buying the book and reading it. Many readers did find the special email address in the book and contacted me between May 2003 and December 2003. So in January 2004 I asked, "Where's my royalties for 2003?" The publisher replied, "You don't have any royalties coming to you for 2003 because there were no sales of your book in 2003." Obviously a blatant lie. I was being ripped off. I had much greater success with it as an ebook through a different publisher in Australia from May 2004 to June 2006. Now I'm trying a new approach by using the "blog fiction" method to make it free to readers via my blog, and I make money from the ads at the blog, so it is like commercial television people watch for free and is paid for by the commercials. The readers get it free, and I don't get ripped off, so it is a good deal for everyone.
By the way, even politicians get to campaign for themselves, and vote for themselves when they go to vote in elections, here in the USA.
What is wrong is someone voting on a book he has never read and therefore has no right to give an opinion on. Only psychotic religious fundamentalist fanatics condemn books they have never read.
The best people to review books are other authors who have written books, especially the same genre of books. Readers, who have never written a book, are not experts on writing, but of course they can give an opinion about what they have read - if they actually take the time to read it, rather than making up a lot of nonsense about it in a review that isn't true.
All of the efforts of the Jacurutu people to slander me and my novel here is wasted effort. Fact, the novel is no longer sold at Amazon, and no longer sold anywhere. The main reason anyone reads a review of a book is if they are considering a purchase to read it. Since it is out of print, there is no reason to read a review. Now that it is free in the new form of "blog fiction" at my Novel Traveler blog http://noveltraveler.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they can read it for free and judge for themselves.

SandRider says:
hey, look here, I'll tolerate a whole lotta foolishness from you,
but being mistaken for Ron Craig just ain't one of them...
Craig posts here as "Ronald Craig"; unlike TheKJA, he's only got one Amazon account ....
as do I, and I post as SandRider EVERYWHERE on the net on Dune subjects, so it
shouldn't be too hard for someone will your l33t skillz to figure out who, what, and
where I am ...
(The SandRider, an Evil Troll, In the Back of Your Mind (always)) ...
really, tho, you don't see the plot similarities in human life on Earth being the "lost souls"
of an "alien" race ? ok, not surprised - you can't see TheKJA's Dune books for the Star Wars
comic book re-writes they are ... and if you really AREN'T aware of the True Deep Beliefs of the
COS, or the Thetan-story, well ... my god, are you ignorant and out-of-touch with the world ...
now - baseless accusations of "vandalism" and "destruction of property" and "hacking"
on you personal twit page or on your personal, unread blagh of inane ramblings is one thing -
to post such accusations, with actual real name, place of residence and employment, on a public
forum you have no control over is another - talk about your libel ... of course, Craig and the rest
of the world realize that you're a lone crackpot on the internet; no shortage of your kind, and it
was decided long ago to allow your ramblings for entertainment purposes ... it also aids the FBI
in determining you're just a sad loony when they finally get tired of you pestering them about
people being mean to you on the net, and send some-one around to tell you to sit down and
take your meds ... IF you've had balls enough to actually send all those IPs you harvested from
your blagh to them ... (and I doubt that, but please do .... please)(please)
(please do)
finally, Craig may or may not have access to TheKJA's Secret Force; I don't know ...
I know I've had a bug in the room from the beginning, long before you ever got
involved in this dispute .... (now, run tell dat!)

ALL Internet Trolls engaged in flaming, cyber stalking, libel, and celebrity stalking of Kevin J. Anderson, as well as harassing his fans including me, are clones created by Professor Ronald J. Craig in is secret underground laboratory at Ibaraki University, including you - no different than him - same as him until otherwise proven. Coward. Can't use your real name? I use my real name. You believe it is fair to attack me by my real name, but not fair to attack you by your real name or any name, ok for you to post nonsense about me all over the Internet, but not ok for me to post the truth about psychotic trolls like you and your clones at my blog. YOU CAME TO ME. YOU INVADED MY DOMAIN. YOU STARTED THIS NEW CONFLICT HERE AT AMAZON, NOT ME. I'm just defending myself in all this. Typical stupid trolls, just like juvenile immature schoolyard bullies, when anyone fights back it is an attack instead of defense. You can dish it out, but you can't take it. Each time I've decided to leave it alone and back off, YOU CONTINUED THE CONFLICT. In fact, I had completely dropped the subject, until I discovered you attacked me here at Amazon, making a bunch of false claims about me and a book you've never read. Never before have I seen such willful evil and willful stupidity as what you and the other trolls have engaged in.
You ALLOW me to do what? You and your associates are cowards using hit and run tactics on the Internet. The public needs to know about scum of the earth like you. I'm hoping CNN will do a story about Internet Trolls and use you as an example. Please do tell the Church of Scientology about all of this! They have a lot more money to take legal action against you for libel than I do. I've already had the police identify and go to the door of one of the trolls in Minnesota to silence him. Maybe you will be next. It is the simple matter of police or FBI going to the Internet Service Provider with your IP address to get your real name and street address. Cyber stalking is a crime. And that is in fact what you are doing here at Amazon, as well as engaging in libel.
"Finally" - you wrote. No such thing in this war. They already know about your spy. Obvious. I spotted him right away. Very amusing, he claims to be spying on Jacurutu for Kevin. Very funny. Kind of like a double agent, right. But he is not the one who has betrayed all of you, not the one who has stepped forward as a witness to the hacking and delivery of the virus to destroy my computer. And, most amusing of all, you continue to try to use "honey traps" like Mandy Jane to spy on me! Shame on you. Did you really think I'd fall for that?
Each time I've offered peace, to end the conflict between us - between the trolls and me - you've seen it as some kind of insulting attack by me against you and the others, and then launched new attacks against me.
I sincerely want to make something crystal clear at this point in time: I will no longer defend a man and his work who is unwilling to defend himself and his work, so what happens between you and Kevin J. Anderson is your business and I will stay out of it. That's my best and final offer. You leave me alone, and I leave you alone.
You might accept that. Problem is, you don't speak for all of the others. So while some might accept my offer, others will continue the conflict. However, if you want a deal just between you and me, let me know. Then you leave me alone and I leave you alone, but the others are not included in the deal. I deal with each one, one on one.
I tried to show Professor Ronald Craig some respect [if not you]. He saw it as an insult, and launched a new attack against me. That is the true nature of Internet trolls. They are creatures of hatred. It is not possible to be a true fan of the original DUNE and of Frank Herbert, and be consumed by so much hatred. It is a psychotic religious fundamentalist cult of hatred.
It would be amazingly easy for the pure DUNE fans to win their war with a friendly approach to attract more people and win them over to their side. But even one of your own kind wrote that the Jacurutu members are not interested in winning anyone over to their side, and that really is stupid if you want to win the war.
There was a day when you nearly won me over to your side, as new information and facts came to light. Then, just as I was about to join you, other Jacurutu members launched new attacks against me and did so in a very personal way. I could have done a lot to help you with all the free time I have, but apparently your friends prefer I be an enemy rather than an ally. So be it. But if you want peace between you and me, then just let me know, and it will be a done deal.
I could offer a sign of good faith on my part, like removing my reviews of the Dune novels from my blog, and withdrawing my membership at KJASF. That would have been possible, until YOU brought this conflict to me and my novel in this public place at Amazon. You crossed the wrong line. You can't undo what has been done here. YOU took this conflict into a public place neither of us can control when you first posted here.
The paperback version of my HEREafter novel sold through Amazon in 2003, was DEAD here as of 2004. So for SIX YEARS it has been DEAD here at Amazon. Then YOU brought it back to life by posting your review of it - a book you have never read - right here. Maybe I should thank you for that. Suddenly, new readers were finding me and the new free "blog fiction" version, according to StatCounter tracking, and now I'm making money from the ads at the blog from increased traffic. Happy ending.
But what is your unified goal anyway? What is your mission statement?
You can't get my book removed from here. I tried to do that myself. Amazon refused. You can't hurt sales. There are no sales. It is free now.
What do you and other members of Jacurutu hope to gain in the long run? What is your ultimate goal? What do you realistically hope to achieve? Hurt total sales of Kevin J. Anderson novels? Get them removed from bookstores and website listings? That will never happen. Your obsession is a total waste of time, especially the way you are trying to carry out your mission with such hatred. You are in a very small minority of Dune fanatics. You are not even true Dune fans. You are just a small group of pathetic fanatics living under a troll bridge.
If HEREafter were a country, and Jacurutu were another country occupied by trolls, then at this point in time, I would nuke you, because you cannot be reasoned with. Problem is, you are just like the homeless terrorists who wander the world with your fanatical religious-cult-like hatred. You are, in fact, just like the kind of people who blew up the World Trade Center.

The Dukester says:
Really, Jim, get over yourself.
"War"? "Conflict"? "Terrorists"? Just listen to yourself. How can you not be embarrassed to be using such overly dramatic, overwrought, hysterical phrases?
Also, I'll point out to you yet again that the only coward in this whole affair is YOU. Who writes long, rambling, insulting diatribes, then deletes them a day later? You. Who establishes 47 different Twitter accounts, then protects all the posts? You. Who doesn't have the guts to defend his views at Jacurutu, the only OPEN Dune site on the entire internet? You. Who spouts libelous "you sent me a virus!" nonsense all day long, without having one single scintilla of actual evidence? You.
So, just like your hero Kevin J. Anderprick, you prefer to take your shots from a distance, then hide behind barriers of passwords and deleted posts. COWARD.
+++++
BTW, Jim, be careful of the moral high ground -- it can get pretty slippery. You seem to enjoy threatening legal action at the drop of a hat, but it appears you think that the the same rules don't apply to you. I refer to your blog, which is overflowing with copyrighted cheesecake photographs you STOLE from other sites and various publications. That's illegal, Jim.
So, should I contact the legal departments at Maxim, Esquire, and other magazines? Should I contact the publicists for all the starlets you've got featured at your site? It would be easy .... just a quick email that includes the link to your blog. Do you feel like dealing with a bunch of lawyers today, Jim? You insufferable hypocrite.

Accurate Review of HEREafter, May 9, 2010
By James C. Harwood "James C. Harwood"
This review is from: Hereafter: Book 1: A Mild Case of Death (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
The review here at Amazon by SandRider is absurd, especially since he has never read my novel. He has accused me of copyright violation, theft, and of being a member of the Church of Scientology based on the Introduction I wrote for my novel. SandRider has crossed the line into LIBEL, a crime, the written version of slander. I have nothing whatsoever to do with the Church of Scientology, and neither does my science fiction novel titled HEREafter. It was first published as a paperback book in May 2003, and then an ebook in May 2004. It is now only available as a free "blog fiction" novel posted at my blog, with the complete HEREafter Glossarium - an aid to readers and future writers of the HEREafter "shared universe" [look it up at Wiki] concept series. The blog is to become monetized, so I will make money from ads. It is like commercial television for which viewers watch for free [except for some paying for cable TV access], while the commercials pay for the TV shows. It is possible for books readable on the Internet to work the same way. This is an experiment to make fiction available to readers for free. Now you can go to my Amazon profile, and there click on the link to my blog website, and then there click on the cover picture of the novel to access the free version. Enjoy! Judge it for yourself! Pay no attention to Internet trolls engaging in celebrity stalking, cyber stalking, and libel. I angered the SandRider troll because I am a fan of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and the DUNE novels written by them, and SandRider is opposed to anyone other than Frank Herbert [who is now deceased] writing new DUNE novels, and hates any fans who support them.

Body Thetans
Scientologists have heard about "Thetans", "theta" as well as "theta bodies" perhaps, but they won't have heard the term "Body Thetans", nor will they be able to find it in their Tech dictionaries.
This is because the information is being withheld from them until they reach a secret level in Scientology known as "OT III". On this level, they are told that they are full of the Thetans (or souls) of murdered space-aliens. Roughly 2,500 of them. And they have to talk to them telepathically to make them go away. These aliens were once part of the local galactic confederation of 75 million years ago, ruled over by the evil galactic overlord Xenu (sometimes said as Xemu).
The galactic confederation supposedly consisted of 22 suns with their 76 inhabited planets. That makes three or four inhabited planets per sun. This fits in with L. Ron Hubbard's view that other planets in our own solar system were inhabited, namely Venus (whose government is monitored by the Fifth Invader Force -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Venusian.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), Mars (inhabited by the earlier Fourth Invader Force -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Mars.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and Jupiter (by people who he said would look like Eskimos -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Jupiter.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
These aliens were supposedly similar in appearance to ourselves as we are now. The average populations of these planets was 178 million or 250 million on average (both figures are quoted in the same line on the handwritten OT III document).
This was an overpopulation problem for Xenu. To solve it he called most of the inhabitants of these planets in for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of a mixture of alcohol and glycol into their lungs to paralyze them. They were then frozen and put on DC-8 identical space-planes and flown across space to planet Earth (then called Teegeeack) http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/DC-8s.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If the story is to be believed, then this would have happened to about 4 trillion people. The story makes it clear that the actual corpses of people were transported to Earth. Supposing each DC-8 could carry 200 frozen bodies in refrigerated units at a time and the excess population per planet was 100 million, then 500,000 DC-8 space-plane flights would have been required to ship these people to Earth. If the return trip were 6 weeks, as mentioned in the "Assists" lecture in relation to the three weeks from Coltice to Earth, and if this were all achieved in six months, then each planet would have required 125,000 DC-8 space-planes.
When the people arrived on Earth, all 4 trillion of them were stacked around ten or so volcanoes and then nuked. After they were nuked their Thetans (souls) were captured in electronic beams, boxed up and taken to cinemas. There they were shown pictures of what life on Earth should be like and they were also shown false pictures of God and Christ to instill a religious fervor in them that would make them less effective and so easier to control.
The Thetans were frozen, again, in alcohol and glycol - a supposed very effective way for capturing Thetans. The start of these films was unusual in that the first two days of it were taken up with a helicopter about to crash ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/Helicopt.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) After watching these films, which lasted several days, these Thetans clustered together and now inhabit our bodies.
These films supposedly set the scene for the future. The houses, theaters, trains, boats, planes etc. of the late 1950's were supposed to be copies of those at the time of this incident and the same as those shown to the body Thetans in the films. Hence society of the 1950's was a copy of what life was like 75 million years ago. And since these images were implanted in these body Thetans and they were required to act out these scenes, then this was a block to further progress. In inhabiting our bodies, we too inherit these images which then govern our lives. Indeed, we are, in most cases, one of these same body Thetans - it is just that we are the one in charge or the "leader" body thetan or controller.
Scientologists are required to exorcise all these body Thetans if they are to make spiritual progress within their religion. Once gone then they are supposed to regain their own powers. They talk to them telepathically to make them go away. This whole incident, as described, is known as "R6", or "Incident Two". In liberating these body Thetans it is important to get to the first time something like this happened. It is called "getting the basic on the chain of events".
This was not the earliest incident though, since there was supposedly an Incident 4 quadrillion years ago, called Incident One, in which Thetans were confused by a chariot charging at them as well as a cherub blowing a horn before blackness was dumped on them. If these body Thetans are reminded of this then they leave the body readily and with some noise and energy. L. Ron Hubbard described how he readily achieved this on himself ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~xemu/rams/BTs.ram" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
When the body Thetans (or "BTs") leave, they are Clear and are able to operate as Thetans. They have become "Operating Thetans" - a high goal in Scientology. They then supposedly decide to be flowers or butterflies.

SandRider aka Professor Ronald J. Craig of Ibaraki University in Japan wrote: "...but the description seemed familiar - like maybe, IDK, the entire basis of L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology ? So I was wondering if Mr. Harwood is a Scientologist with very limited imagination, or just lifted the entire idea for his novel, and then got a cease&desist order from Tom Cruise, and that's why the series stopped at Book One..." And then writes: "...and Jimmy doesn't have access to the secret COS section at KJASF, so he doesn't know about using the Church to pump up review stars - of course, when the COS does find out about this book, Jimmy's in a lot of trouble, anyway..."
So which is it? They already know about my novel and stopped publication? Or they don't know about it yet and I'll be in trouble when they do find out? Maybe you should bring it to their attention, Professor Craig, if you really believe all of your own fabricated nonsense. But then you would be exposing yourself for your libel of them as well as me.
I've made it clear I'm not one of them - not a Scientologist.
And what is that nonsense about a "secret COS section at KJASF" you mentioned? What does Kevin J. Anderson and his Special Forces website - which you don't have access to - have to do with the Church of Scientology?
I hadn't before heard of or read about the Body Thetans subject. I'd heard rumors of such bizarre activities and strange beliefs, but never specifics like what you just presented. The information is interesting but disturbing, crazy if any Scientologists actually believe any of that. Some of that report reads more like the usual troll flaming, so I have to wonder how much of it is accurate and not just more libel. There is nothing in my novel that is even remotely like any of that, but you would not know because you have never read it, and only base your idiotic conclusion on the short Introduction.
I wonder how Ibaraki University feels about your use of the Internet to engage in celebrity stalking, cyber stalking, and libel, as well as vandalism of websites and destruction of private property. I believe the real reason why you stayed in Japan is to feel safe there from enemies you have created in the USA.

It's not going to do any good. I'm sure you know by now, especially after the troll war at Amazon about a year ago with David James and the others, I just found out about, that Amazon does not bother to enforce its own policies. And you should know, Amazon refused to remove my book listing when I legally ordered them to do so, after I legally terminated the contract with the publisher for theft. I am the one who stopped publication. They didn't know I put my email address in the book for readers to contact me after buying the book and reading it. Many readers did find the special email address in the book and contacted me between May 2003 and December 2003. So in January 2004 I asked, "Where's my royalties for 2003?" The publisher replied, "You don't have any royalties coming to you for 2003 because there were no sales of your book in 2003." Obviously a blatant lie. I was being ripped off. I had much greater success with it as an ebook through a different publisher in Australia from May 2004 to June 2006. Now I'm trying a new approach by using the "blog fiction" method to make it free to readers via my blog, and I make money from the ads at the blog, so it is like commercial television people watch for free and is paid for by the commercials. The readers get it free, and I don't get ripped off, so it is a good deal for everyone.
By the way, even politicians get to campaign for themselves, and vote for themselves when they go to vote in elections, here in the USA.
What is wrong is someone voting on a book he has never read and therefore has no right to give an opinion on. Only psychotic religious fundamentalist fanatics condemn books they have never read.
The best people to review books are other authors who have written books, especially the same genre of books. Readers, who have never written a book, are not experts on writing, but of course they can give an opinion about what they have read - if they actually take the time to read it, rather than making up a lot of nonsense about it in a review that isn't true.
All of the efforts of the Jacurutu people to slander me and my novel here is wasted effort. Fact, the novel is no longer sold at Amazon, and no longer sold anywhere. The main reason anyone reads a review of a book is if they are considering a purchase to read it. Since it is out of print, there is no reason to read a review. Now that it is free in the new form of "blog fiction" at my Novel Traveler blog http://noveltraveler.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they can read it for free and judge for themselves.

SandRider says:
hey, look here, I'll tolerate a whole lotta foolishness from you,
but being mistaken for Ron Craig just ain't one of them...
Craig posts here as "Ronald Craig"; unlike TheKJA, he's only got one Amazon account ....
as do I, and I post as SandRider EVERYWHERE on the net on Dune subjects, so it
shouldn't be too hard for someone will your l33t skillz to figure out who, what, and
where I am ...
(The SandRider, an Evil Troll, In the Back of Your Mind (always)) ...
really, tho, you don't see the plot similarities in human life on Earth being the "lost souls"
of an "alien" race ? ok, not surprised - you can't see TheKJA's Dune books for the Star Wars
comic book re-writes they are ... and if you really AREN'T aware of the True Deep Beliefs of the
COS, or the Thetan-story, well ... my god, are you ignorant and out-of-touch with the world ...
now - baseless accusations of "vandalism" and "destruction of property" and "hacking"
on you personal twit page or on your personal, unread blagh of inane ramblings is one thing -
to post such accusations, with actual real name, place of residence and employment, on a public
forum you have no control over is another - talk about your libel ... of course, Craig and the rest
of the world realize that you're a lone crackpot on the internet; no shortage of your kind, and it
was decided long ago to allow your ramblings for entertainment purposes ... it also aids the FBI
in determining you're just a sad loony when they finally get tired of you pestering them about
people being mean to you on the net, and send some-one around to tell you to sit down and
take your meds ... IF you've had balls enough to actually send all those IPs you harvested from
your blagh to them ... (and I doubt that, but please do .... please)(please)
(please do)
finally, Craig may or may not have access to TheKJA's Secret Force; I don't know ...
I know I've had a bug in the room from the beginning, long before you ever got
involved in this dispute .... (now, run tell dat!)

James C. Harwood says:
ALL Internet Trolls engaged in flaming, cyber stalking, libel, and celebrity stalking of Kevin J. Anderson, as well as harassing his fans including me, are clones created by Professor Ronald J. Craig in is secret underground laboratory at Ibaraki University, including you - no different than him - same as him until otherwise proven. Coward. Can't use your real name? I use my real name. You believe it is fair to attack me by my real name, but not fair to attack you by your real name or any name, ok for you to post nonsense about me all over the Internet, but not ok for me to post the truth about psychotic trolls like you and your clones at my blog. YOU CAME TO ME. YOU INVADED MY DOMAIN. YOU STARTED THIS NEW CONFLICT HERE AT AMAZON, NOT ME. I'm just defending myself in all this. Typical stupid trolls, just like juvenile immature schoolyard bullies, when anyone fights back it is an attack instead of defense. You can dish it out, but you can't take it. Each time I've decided to leave it alone and back off, YOU CONTINUED THE CONFLICT. In fact, I had completely dropped the subject, until I discovered you attacked me here at Amazon, making a bunch of false claims about me and a book you've never read. Never before have I seen such willful evil and willful stupidity as what you and the other trolls have engaged in.
You ALLOW me to do what? You and your associates are cowards using hit and run tactics on the Internet. The public needs to know about scum of the earth like you. I'm hoping CNN will do a story about Internet Trolls and use you as an example. Please do tell the Church of Scientology about all of this! They have a lot more money to take legal action against you for libel than I do. I've already had the police identify and go to the door of one of the trolls in Minnesota to silence him. Maybe you will be next. It is the simple matter of police or FBI going to the Internet Service Provider with your IP address to get your real name and street address. Cyber stalking is a crime. And that is in fact what you are doing here at Amazon, as well as engaging in libel.
"Finally" - you wrote. No such thing in this war. They already know about your spy. Obvious. I spotted him right away. Very amusing, he claims to be spying on Jacurutu for Kevin. Very funny. Kind of like a double agent, right. But he is not the one who has betrayed all of you, not the one who has stepped forward as a witness to the hacking and delivery of the virus to destroy my computer. And, most amusing of all, you continue to try to use "honey traps" like Mandy Jane to spy on me! Shame on you. Did you really think I'd fall for that?
Each time I've offered peace, to end the conflict between us - between the trolls and me - you've seen it as some kind of insulting attack by me against you and the others, and then launched new attacks against me.
I sincerely want to make something crystal clear at this point in time: I will no longer defend a man and his work who is unwilling to defend himself and his work, so what happens between you and Kevin J. Anderson is your business and I will stay out of it. That's my best and final offer. You leave me alone, and I leave you alone.
You might accept that. Problem is, you don't speak for all of the others. So while some might accept my offer, others will continue the conflict. However, if you want a deal just between you and me, let me know. Then you leave me alone and I leave you alone, but the others are not included in the deal. I deal with each one, one on one.
I tried to show Professor Ronald Craig some respect [if not you]. He saw it as an insult, and launched a new attack against me. That is the true nature of Internet trolls. They are creatures of hatred. It is not possible to be a true fan of the original DUNE and of Frank Herbert, and be consumed by so much hatred. It is a psychotic religious fundamentalist cult of hatred.
It would be amazingly easy for the pure DUNE fans to win their war with a friendly approach to attract more people and win them over to their side. But even one of your own kind wrote that the Jacurutu members are not interested in winning anyone over to their side, and that really is stupid if you want to win the war.
There was a day when you nearly won me over to your side, as new information and facts came to light. Then, just as I was about to join you, other Jacurutu members launched new attacks against me and did so in a very personal way. I could have done a lot to help you with all the free time I have, but apparently your friends prefer I be an enemy rather than an ally. So be it. But if you want peace between you and me, then just let me know, and it will be a done deal.
I could offer a sign of good faith on my part, like removing my reviews of the Dune novels from my blog, and withdrawing my membership at KJASF. That would have been possible, until YOU brought this conflict to me and my novel in this public place at Amazon. You crossed the wrong line. You can't undo what has been done here. YOU took this conflict into a public place neither of us can control when you first posted here.
The paperback version of my HEREafter novel sold through Amazon in 2003, was DEAD here as of 2004. So for SIX YEARS it has been DEAD here at Amazon. Then YOU brought it back to life by posting your review of it - a book you have never read - right here. Maybe I should thank you for that. Suddenly, new readers were finding me and the new free "blog fiction" version, according to StatCounter tracking, and now I'm making money from the ads at the blog from increased traffic. Happy ending.
But what is your unified goal anyway? What is your mission statement?
You can't get my book removed from here. I tried to do that myself. Amazon refused. You can't hurt sales. There are no sales. It is free now.
What do you and other members of Jacurutu hope to gain in the long run? What is your ultimate goal? What do you realistically hope to achieve? Hurt total sales of Kevin J. Anderson novels? Get them removed from bookstores and website listings? That will never happen. Your obsession is a total waste of time, especially the way you are trying to carry out your mission with such hatred. You are in a very small minority of Dune fanatics. You are not even true Dune fans. You are just a small group of pathetic fanatics living under a troll bridge.
If HEREafter were a country, and Jacurutu were another country occupied by trolls, then at this point in time, I would nuke you, because you cannot be reasoned with. Problem is, you are just like the homeless terrorists who wander the world with your fanatical religious-cult-like hatred. You are, in fact, just like the kind of people who blew up the World Trade Center.

The Dukester says:
Really, Jim, get over yourself.
"War"? "Conflict"? "Terrorists"? Just listen to yourself. How can you not be embarrassed to be using such overly dramatic, overwrought, hysterical phrases?
Also, I'll point out to you yet again that the only coward in this whole affair is YOU. Who writes long, rambling, insulting diatribes, then deletes them a day later? You. Who establishes 47 different Twitter accounts, then protects all the posts? You. Who doesn't have the guts to defend his views at Jacurutu, the only OPEN Dune site on the entire internet? You. Who spouts libelous "you sent me a virus!" nonsense all day long, without having one single scintilla of actual evidence? You.
So, just like your hero Kevin J. Anderprick, you prefer to take your shots from a distance, then hide behind barriers of passwords and deleted posts. COWARD.
+++++
BTW, Jim, be careful of the moral high ground -- it can get pretty slippery. You seem to enjoy threatening legal action at the drop of a hat, but it appears you think that the the same rules don't apply to you. I refer to your blog, which is overflowing with copyrighted cheesecake photographs you STOLE from other sites and various publications. That's illegal, Jim.
So, should I contact the legal departments at Maxim, Esquire, and other magazines? Should I contact the publicists for all the starlets you've got featured at your site? It would be easy .... just a quick email that includes the link to your blog. Do you feel like dealing with a bunch of lawyers today, Jim? You insufferable hypocrite.
