REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
FILE OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT; DECLARATION OF
GERRY ARMSTRONG IN SUPPORT

Date: March 16, 2004
Time: 0:900
Department: L
Trial date: April 9, 2004

Defendant Gerry Armstrong hereby requests an extension of one month to file his

opposition to Plaintiff Scientology organization’s motion for summary judgment now set for hearing on

March 16, 2004. This request is based on the facts set forth in the Declaration of Gerry Armstrong that

follows.

DECLARATION OF GERRY ARMSTRONG

I, Gerry Armstrong, declare as follows:

1. I am the defendant in this case.

2. Plaintiff Scientology organization has filed a summary judgment motion that is set for

hearing on March 16, 2004. Because of extraordinary circumstances beyond my control it is impossible

for me to complete my opposition and require at least a month more time.

3. I made any earlier request for an extension of time to respond to Scientology’s summary

judgment motion based on that fact that I had just moved from Germany to Canada and had not received

my computer, documents and other items necessary to complete my opposition that were being shipped

separately. This request was granted and the hearing on the motion was set for March 16, 2004.

4. Yesterday I received an e-mail from the German company handling the shipment of my

belongings that states:

To: "'gerry@gerryarmstrong.org'" <gerry@gerryarmstrong.org>
Subject: Your shipment to Chilliwack/ Canada

Dear Mrs Letkeman, dear Mr. Armstrong,

please note, that the shipping company made a mistake and did interchange your shipment at port of
departure with another one that was
signed with "Armstrong" also. So your shipment was sent to [another city in another country] first.
We did contact them and demanded a letter written in English which confirms that they made
the mistake.
I will send you this letter as soon as I receive it.
And I will send you the new shipping dates as soon as possible.

In case you have some questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

[name]
[company]
[network]
Tel.: +49 [ ]
Fax.: +49 [ ]
[E-mail address]

5. The “Mrs Letkeman” referred to in the above e-mail is Caroline Letkeman, my fiancée,

who, like me, is a target of Scientology fair game and the organization’s notorious Suppressive Person

doctrine.

6. For obvious security reasons, I have deleted from the e-mail quoted above the name of

the shipping company, its agent and the contact information, as well as the name of the city where our

belongings are being sent by “mistake.”

7. I, of course, find this “interchange” of Ms. Letkeman’s and my shipment with the

shipment of someone else being sent to a completely different port and country unbelievable, and I am

conducting an investigation as possible to get to the bottom of this matter and insure the security of our

belongings.

8. I was originally told by the shipping company representative that the shipment of Ms.

Letkeman’s and my belongings would take two to three weeks from door to door, from January 16 when

it was placed in the shipping company’s hands, and therefore I expected to receive the shipment before

now. It is impossible as yet to determine when we will receive our shipment, which, clearly, is very

vulnerable.

9. As is well known, and must be known to this Court, Scientology is in essence a global

intelligence agency and operation, a massive part of which involves the collection of intelligence on the

organization’s declared “enemies,” both by lawful and by unlawful means. In the 1980’s, eleven of the

Scientology organization’s intelligence personnel, including Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of the

unindicted co-conspirator Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, were prosecuted and imprisoned for

burglarizing, infiltrating and stealing documents from U.S. Federal buildings and agencies, including the

United States Courthouse and the Justice Department. Scientology itself and several of its agents were

successfully prosecuted in Canada for intelligence activities against the government, involving

infiltrating and stealing documents from buildings and departments of the Canadian federal and

provincial governments, including police agencies. Two subsequently departed Scientology executives

who had worked closely with organization leader David Miscavige have independently testified that

Miscavige announced to them that he personally possessed a set of documents that were stolen from the

trunk of my car which was broken into by organization agents in Los Angeles in 1984. Miscavige and

his intelligence apparatus are paranoid, and obsessive about getting their hands on documents and

materials that give them stats, give them a secret look into people’s secrets, an invasion of these people’s

privacy, and an ever so clever advantage in the war against their “enemies.”

10. Scientology has considered me a Suppressive Person for twenty-two years. The

cultists have spent millions of dollars to crush me, to silence me, to conspire and to act to strip me of my

rights and privileges secured to me by the U.S. Constitution and laws in violation of 18 U.S.C. §241.

This organization has an intelligence means and a monumental motive to engineer a switcheroo in some

warehouse in Germany to get their hands on my belongings, not because these things really contain a

key piece of intelligence that will solve their Gerry Armstrong problem, or because there’s any evidence

of any wrong doing by which the organization intelligence personnel can manufacture some charge or

other, but because these things are my belongings, they’re what I need to defend myself, and they’re

what gives the Miscavige regime a villainous invasion of Caroline Letkeman’s and my privacy.

11. There is, obviously too, the possibility that this is an op involving a different set of

assets of the U.S. intelligence community, but who or what is involved does not have to be known for

the Court to simply recognize that Ms. Letkeman’s and my shipment of our personal effects has for

some as yet unknown reason been sent by the wrong ship to the wrong port in the wrong country, that

this “mistake” was not engineered by me to gain me a little more time to delay the inevitable crushing

by Scientology and its summary judgment motion, and that I do in truth need at least another month to

insure that the computers and documents needed to complete my opposition do safely arrive. I think it is

obvious from everything I’ve written that has been filed in the Marin Superior Court that I believe that

Scientology’s summary judgment motion is a criminal act in a colossal criminal conspiracy, and that

there is no lawful way under the sun that this motion that would deny me a trial can be granted.

12. Perhaps the hearing date can be set in the week of April 19 to 23.

13. I today e-mailed Scientology lawyer Andrew Wilson and his office requesting an

agreement to a month extension, and have not heard back from him.

“Dear Mr. Wilson:
Because of a claimed "mistake" by the shipping company or companies handling the
shipment of the belongings of Caroline Letkeman and myself, including what I need to
complete my opposition to Scientology's summary judgment, our shipment has been sent
to another port in another country. Obviously, I suspect that this is no "mistake" and that
the people who seek my obliteration pursuant to their policy are involved. I am, of
course, investigating as feasible, and making whatever security arrangements are possible
to protect our belongings. I have no guarantee when our shipment will be reshipped to
us, but I will require at least another month extension for completing my opposition to the
summary judgment motion.
I must send my request to the Marin Court right away, so please let me know
immediately if you will agree to an extension of a month.
Yours sincerely,
Gerry Armstrong”

I have no choice therefore but to get this request to the court and seek Mr. Wilson’s and Scientology’s

agreement to the extension later.

12. Scientology stated in their previous response to my previous request for an extension

to file my opposition to Scientology’s summary judgment motion:

“Plaintiff is mindful of the position the Court is placed in when a pro per defendant seeks

additional time to assert what he claims are meritorious defenses. For that reason, and

because Plaintiff is confident that it will prevail on this motion and does not wish to open

the door to a charge that there were legitimate arguments which the Court did not

consider because it did not accede to Mr. Armstrong’s request.”

I do not believe that a pro per defendant who seeks additional time to assert what he claims are

meritorious defenses places any Court in a position any different from the position in which any Court is

placed by a non- pro per defendant who seeks additional time to assert what he claims are meritorious

defenses. Perhaps the non- pro per litigant is a multicorporational pernicious cult with a billion dollars

and an army of lawyers to assert what they claim are meritorious defenses. If there really is a particular

position that this Court believes pro per defendants put it in when they seek additional time to assert

what they claim are meritorious defenses, when in an unbiased mind there would no difference between

the requests of pro per defendants and the requests of non- pro per defendants for additional time to assert

what they claim are meritorious defenses, then this Court should examine its position and scratch

its bias.

13. In support of my claim that I possess meritorious defenses to the Scientology cult’s

claims in its complaint and its arguments in its summary judgment motion, I am appending hereto as

Exhibit A a true and correct copy of the first eighty-six pages of my complaint report to the Justice

Department concerning this criminal conspiracy in which this Court, its earlier Injunction, Judgment,

contempt orders and arrest warrants against me, and the present lawsuit and the pending summary

judgment motion are parts. This section of my report also provides a number of my meritorious

defenses that Scientology seeks to dispose of quietly and without sorrow by summary judgment. The

final part of my complaint report provides a history of what has occurred since the December 1986

“settlement” underlying Scientology’s complaint, Scientology’s post-“settlement” fair game acts in

execution of its Suppressive Person doctrine, and the facts that lead to the conclusion that this court in

the person of ex-Judge Gary W. Thomas unlawfully abetted Scientology’s conspiracy to injure, oppress,

threaten and intimidate me in my free exercise and enjoyment of my rights and privileges secured to me

by the U.S. Constitution and laws, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §242, “deprivation of rights under color of

law.” I ask that this Court read what I have written in my complaint report, to apply it to this civil rights

case now before this Court, and to call, as this Court is empowered to do, for an investigation of Judge

Thomas’s actions in this case in response to the charges I am making herein and in the complaint report.

I declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to the laws of the State of California, the

United States and Canada that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 11th day of February 2004 at Chilliwack, B.C., Canada.
