=== Church of Scientology, 1977 === In 1977, an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] raid on the offices of the [[Church of Scientology]] uncovered a project to discredit CSICOP so that it and its publications would cease criticism of [[Dianetics]] and [[Scientology]]. This included forging a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] memo and sending it to media sources, including ''[[The New York Times]]'', to spread rumors that CSICOP was a front group for the CIA. A letter from CSICOP founder Paul Kurtz was forged to discredit him in the eyes of parapsychology researchers.<ref>{{cite news|work=Toronto Globe and Mail|date=January 25, 1980|last=Marshall|first=John|title=Cult order sought to end scientists' criticism}}</ref>
