I have been learning more and more of Scientology via the web. I think that we all can agree that it is very dangerous, I urge you to do your own research and reach your own conclusions.
Does anyone know any websites or have any ideas on how this abomination to mankind can be abolished?
Normally, I support Amendment #1 with all my worth, and even my life. But this bizarre cult is forcibly trying to subvert others ability to speak. What can be done?

I don't know, it just seems so much more dangerous because of the threats and the murdering.
I know that all other religions do this on a far greater scale, but this reminds me of David Koresh.

REALLY TRUE:
What is wrong with the X?
And YES they subvert others abilities to freely speak so NO I won't edit it. Are they responsible for all of the subversion? No. But I didn't say that.

I have PLENTY of websites you can visit. There are several people who have suffered tragic experiences during their involvement with Scientology. Read about them here:
http://www.lermanet.com/persecution/
http://www.whyaretheydead.net/krasel/
http://xenu.net/archive/personal_story/cheryl_s
There's been loads of news coverage over the years, much of it available on YouTube:
A&E (10 parts): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crhmh1pLYfA
BBC (4 parts):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3pG49lg5AU
The Cult Business:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTNntFUhrw0
The S Files:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLaLZJUzxlo
Here are more "bad experiences" with the cult including an illegal plot to infiltrate the government, brainwashing techniques, mind control camps, attacks on critics, and DEATHS caused by Scientology doctrine and members:
● Operation Snow White – Under this official program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, & theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.
http://lisatrust.freewinds.cx/scientology/snow-white/index.html
http://en.allexperts.com/e/o/op/operation_snow_white.htm
● Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage & violence against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research & findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette, ruin her career & reputation & get her either incarcerated or locked up in psychiatric confinement.
The official plan: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Krasel/cooper/frk1.html
Her book: http://holysmoke.org/cos/books/scandal-of-scientology-cooper.pdf
● Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront & handle critics & perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”
http://www.xenu.net/archive/disk/fairgame.htm
http://www.planetkc.com/sloth/sci/Fair_game_ord.html
● Physical & psychological punishment: Scientologists who "break the rules" while members of the "Sea Org" must subject themselves to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which includes regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labor and intensive ideological indoctrination.
http://www.xenu-directory.net/practices/rpf.html

http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/cos/rpf/escape_2.htm
● Brainwashing & mind control: Scientology exerts control over its members by means of typical cult tactics, including but not limited to controlling information about internal doctrine & criticism of the organization, severely restricting social contact outside the cult (including the practice of “disconnecting” with any family who question the credibility & trustworthiness of the cult), creating an “us against them” mentality by villainizing a specific out-group (for Scientology, it’s psychiatrists), & claiming all those outside the cult are unenlightened.

● Violent Kidnapping - Lisa McPherson was a Scientologist, was involved in a car accident & resultantly became mentally unstable. She was kidnapped from the hospital by agents of Scientology, held against her will, refused proper psychiatric treatment & allowed to STARVE TO DEATH.

● Tragic Murder - A CBS “48 Hours” special on Jeremy Perkins, the mentally disturbed son of Scientologist parents who, because of the Scientology doctrine of opposing psychiatry, refused to put him on the anti-psychotic drugs that would have stabilized him & prevented him from killing his own mother.
Video: http://www.scientomogy.com/jeremy_perkins.php
CBS article: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/25/48hours/main2124568.shtml
Website: http://perkinstragedy.org
● Belief in Aliens - (and no, this isn't a joke): The evil alien ruler Xenu killed millions of aliens (Thetans) from around the universe by kidnapping them, bringing them to earth in golden DC-8 “space-planes”, stacking them around volcanoes & blowing them up by dropping “h-bombs” into the volcanoes. Scientologists believe the souls of these aliens (these souls are "Body Thetans") were captured, brainwashed & released; they then attached themselves to our ancestors (and according to Scientology’s belief in Thetan immortality, they also attached to us during “past lives”) & cause many of our mental & physical ills to this day. Their "auditing" process is said to “clear” us of these Body Thetans as well as the “mental implants” they supposedly impose on our minds.

As the first poster said you can not. Doing so would mean that all religions would have to be banned.
However we can educated people in knowing the difference between a real religion and a cult. And Scientology by far is a cult. Just like Heavens Gate
edit:
Subvert to speak.
Just like the crap Tom Cruise pulled (though he denies it) with that episode from South Park making fun of Scientology

This is not a fixable situation. The Elite have had this economic collapse planned since the 1970s. Why do you think the U.S. hasn't drilled for oil in our homeland, even though they've known for 50 years that we have massive oil reserves? Thanks to Henry Kissenger, the U.S. remains dependent on foreign oil. In return for our loyalty, the Arab nations agreed to take a portion of their profits and buy American tea bills, the interest on the national debt to the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is planning to call for the nations to repay the $14 trillion interest payment in 2011, which none of them could afford to pay. By the failing economies of these nations, the repayment would be impossible. The whole plan is to bring down the economies of the world by the end of 2012. When the Arab nations realize that they have billions of worthless American dollars and the Chinese find they have a trillion dollars of worthless American dollars, it could start a world war. The massive inflation that will result from the failing dollar will be devastating. The American people will be pleading with the banks to give a currency that will replace the dollar. The new currency, the GDR, will eventually be implemented. They plan a New World Order as well as a global currency, which by the way is prophetic in nature and referred to in scripture. It is all coming to pass right before our very eyes. About prophecy the Lord said, I tell you these things so that when they come to pass, you might believe.

Scientology one of the dangerous organization on the planet today.
There is nothing more dangerous than fanaticism fuelled by the cult of money and power.
It is a huge global cancer spreading like wild fire which has shielded itself by calling itself a religion.
Check out the A&E documentary to really get a sense of how incredibly dangerous it really is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crhmh1pLYfA
People all over the world really need to wake up and see it for what it really is.
Scientology has even taken over the Cult Awarness Network (CAN) It is now owned and run by Scientologists!

Wait a minute. Xians? Aren't they the aliens from "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero," aka "Invasion of Astro-Monster"?
As for scientology, all the research you'll ever need is in the infamous South Park episode that Tom Cruise managed to get taken off the air by threatening his refusal to endorse "Mission: Impossible 3."
Furthermore, the guy who wrote it was a science fiction writer, and even said that the best way to get rich quick was to start your own religion.
Clearly a dangerous cult that should be avoided.

What do you mean by "subvert others ability to speak"?
I have two problems with this: I am hearing quite a bit lately
about the real truth that we Americans ARE IN FACT LOOSING OUR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, but
I haven't heard anything about it being the Scientologists who are responsible - Can you please edit and be more clear
about what they're doing?
Oh, and please get rid of the "X"; I would really appreciate
it. (thanks).
Hey, isn't Scientology that religion that L.Ron Hubbard
came up with on a dare?

It is no different than any other religion. It has a god, some leaders, a book and it expects all followers to give them money and obey without question.
