DECLARATION OF GERALD ARMSTRONG

 

I, GERALD ARMSTRONG, declare:

(1) In the case of Julie Christofferson-Titchbourne

v. Church of Scientology of California, et al., Multnomah

County, Oregon, Circuit Court No. 7704-05184, currently

being tried in Portland, Oregon, defendant organization was

ordered to produce my B-1 files. B-1 is Bureau One, the

Intelligence Bureau of the Guardian's Office.

(2) Although the names B-1 and Guardian's office have

been changed, the same intelligence functions are still

performed by Scientology connected organizations. I was

present in court during the Christofferson trial, when

Howard Gutfeld, a Scientology representative, testified that

B-1, intelligence files and private investigator reports are

now maintained in the office of Special Affairs, a branch of

Scientology.

 (3) Defendant organization in Christofferson produced

approximately five inches of materials from my B-1 files.

Many of the intelligence reports or operations programs

referenced in the B-1 materials produced, have been deleted

by defendant organization. Nevertheless, the materials

which were produced are completely relevant in the instant

case. The materials produced are all internal Scientology

correspondence or programs, and there is no correspondence

to or from attorneys.

[page break]

(4) There are numerous references to my preclear (pc)

files in the produced B-1 materials, and there are entries

in the B-1 time track, the chronology that forms part of the

B-1 materials, which show unequivocally that Scientology

intelligence personnel had my pc files after I left the

organization, and excerpted data for intelligence use. One

such entry uses the words "in session" as source of an

account of a sexual encounter I had with a woman. "In

session" means that the information came from the auditor's

reports in an "auditing session."

(5) My pc folders were used as well in the operation

by Scientology/Hubbard against me which resulted in the

illegal videotaping of me in a series of conversations with

individuals who represented to me that they sought to

reform the organization and correct its abuses. There are

statements on the videotapes which substantiate the fact

that my pc folders were used as a lure to entrap me.

 (6) Just after the trial in the defense part of the

instant case and just prior to my going to London, England

to testify in a child custody case, I received a call from

someone whom I later confirmed was "Joey," the intelligence

operative videotaped along with me in the November 7 and 9,

1984 meetings. In the telephone call, Joey said that my pc

folders were being moved and I would be able to get them

if I wanted. He said that my folders would be in a certain

place the next night where I would be able to pick them up.

I asked him if it could be at all construed that I would be

accepting stolen property and he said he didn't know. For

that reason and because I was leaving for London, I declined

Joey's offer. This phone call is discussed in the

November 7, 1984 videotape.

 (7) In another November, 1984 meeting with Mike

Rinder, another Scientology operative, which meeting was

also surreptitiously videotaped, my pc folders were also

discussed. Rinder stated that (following the Armstrong

trial) my folders were moved from Clearwater. This was

probably a lie, since the whole operation against me was

based on lies by the organization, but it did show Rinder's

knowledge of the use of my pc folders in the operation.

 (8) The idea to use my pc folders to entrap me arose

from a " debrief" by my former wife, Terri Gamboa, of a

meeting we had in March, 1984 just prior to the Armstrong

trial. This " debrief," attached hereto as Attachment [A], was

recently produced by Scientology as part of my B-1 files and

was admitted into evidence in the Christofferson trial. The

" briefing" and all other programs and documentation which

arose from this "debrief," have not been produced.

(9) Regarding my pc folders, Mrs. Gamboa states in

Attachment A, page 4, paragraphs 6 and 7:

"An important point for him was
getting his pc folders back as
he feels that that's the solution

Page 3 - DECLARATION OF GERALD ARMSTRONG

 

to his future sanity. He brought
this up several times.

A line has been established with
him and possibly this can be built
up from here and used again in the
future. He is desperate and he
has no way out at this point."

Terri Gamboa was then working for Author Services, Inc., yet

the " debrief" was in Scientology intelligence files.

(10) There is no doubt that Scientology/Hubbard or

their connected corporations have used my pc folders, and

used the information and the folders themselves to entrap,

intimidate and destroy me. The folders and contents are

mine and these organizations do not have the remotest right

to them.

Sworn under the pains and penalties of perjury this 7th

day of May, 1985.

Executed at Portland, Oregon.
