			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Translation of an article posted on May 24, 2011 on the portal-credo.ru, a website dedicated to news about religion: <a href="http://portal-credo.ru/site/?act=authority&amp;id=1636">http://portal-credo.ru/site/?act=authority&amp;id=1636</a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Church of Scientology of Moscow spokesman and editor-in-chief of &#8220;Right to Freedom&#8221;, Alexei Danchenkov: &#8220;Armstrong was invited to Russia as an expert on Scientology, but he left the church 30 years ago&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Interview by Valery Stepanov<br />
for &#8220;Portal-Credo.Ru&#8221;</p>
<p>Gerald Armstrong spoke a few days ago at St. Tikhon&#8217;s Orthodox University in Moscow and he was presented as a former senior official of the Church of Scientology.  Is his name familiar to you?</p>
<p>Aleksei Danchenkov: Actually, Gerald Armstrong was a former clerk of the Church of Scientology of California.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well yes, haven’t we all been clerks at one time or another?</p>
<p>It’s like saying, for example, that Aleksei Danchenkov is a former child, or a former room-cleaner, or a former bed-wetter.</p>
<p>The problem, however, is that Mr. Danchenkov implies that during my twelve plus years inside Scientology all I did was be a clerk. I’m already aware, of course, that this is a long term, planet-wide “attack line” on me by Scientology agents. See, for example, this June 1983 article in <em>Penthouse</em> containing an interview the magazine conducted with Heber Jentzsch, the clerical President of the cult:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Jentzsch</strong>: Mr. Armstrong is my step-son-in-law. I know him quite well. He was a clerk, and he also drove a car. And that&#8217;s all he ever did. When he left, he sort of tried to raise his status. If he thinks he&#8217;s been hounded by Scientologists, I&#8217;ll offer this: he says he&#8217;s getting phone calls? We&#8217;ll go to the police and put a tap on the phone. You know what a tap is, right? It just traces the phone call. So let&#8217;s find out where the phone calls are coming from, because it isn&#8217;t coming from our people. And I want to know. So to every guy who&#8217;s screaming that, that&#8217;s the thing I offer. <a href="http://www.rickross.com/reference/scientology/scien240.html">http://www.rickross.com/reference/scientology/scien240.html</a></p></blockquote>
<p>It seems reasonable that Mr. Danchenkov as well as being a former clerk or child also also drove a car. Although we have never, to my knowledge, met, his name is somewhat familiar to me because of news reports such as:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.xenu-directory.net/news/images/thecompiler-1999-3.pdf#page=1">http://www.xenu-directory.net/news/images/thecompiler-1999-3.pdf#page=1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.moreaboutscientologycult.eu/usa/us-articles-associated-press-ap-6.pdf">http://www.moreaboutscientologycult.eu/usa/us-articles-associated-press-ap-6.pdf</a></p>
<p>Mr. Danchenkov and his Scientologist accomplices are further implying, of course, that “clerk” is some unimportant, degraded position in Scientology, and that the Scientologists filling that position are necessarily prevented from acquiring any experiences or knowledge that could conceivably make them experts in anything.</p>
<p>The truth is that I successfully held several positions during my years in Scientology, and none were termed or described as “clerk.” Another truth is that in those actual positions and years I acquired a great deal of experience and knowledge. I have also acquired a great deal of experience and knowledge in the almost thirty years since I left Scientology. Throughout these post-Scientology years, I also was in many positions and had functions different from clerk; for example, as a Scientology target, victim and opponent, and as a witness, writer, speaker and researcher.</p>
<p>Along with certain God-given abilities, and the necessary willingness, of course, my honestly acquired, now forty-two years of experience and knowledge have, in fact, made me an expert on Scientology. My experience, knowledge and testimony is particularly expert regarding Scientology’s “Suppressive Person” doctrine, or “SP” doctrine, and regarding the doctrine’s application, which  is commonly called “fair game.”</p>
<p>Mr. Danchenkov’s black propaganda statement about me to portal-credo.ru is his fair game assignment, his visible application of the antisocial and dangerous SP doctrine. The operators of portal-credo.ru, Valery Stepanov, et al., also, of course, facilitate and forward fair game. They share the agreement that I am a legitimate target for attack and pursuit. Black propaganda or black PR is the policy and practice and facet of fair game provided by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbbard of manufacturing and disseminating false and defamatory information about a person to destroy his reputation, credibility, relationships, opportunities and livelihood.</p>
<p>I’m a very accessible person, and no one attempted to check any of Mr. Danchenkov’s charges with me. The reasons for not checking what are presented as statements of fact are obvious and further explained in my response.</p>
<p>I have been recognized in legal proceedings as an expert on Scientology, and have testified in several legal proceedings as an expert. I have written and executed many expert declarations for use in legal proceedings relating to Scientology, written and published considerable material on Scientology, and, as the interviewer notes, I have spoken publicly on the subject in different places.</p>
<p>I am willing to engage Mr. Danchenkov in a debate concerning Scientology, founder Hubbard, their claims, activities, products, intentions, history and nature. Since I left Scientology, I have never found a Scientologist willing to engage in a debate on these important issues, and I believe that this universal refusal to engage in a debate is because the Scientologists, virtually universally, recognize that I am the expert they say I am not.</p>
<blockquote><p>He left the church in 1981, stealing more than 10,000 pages of documentation.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, Mr. Danchenkov is lying, and libeling me.</p>
<p>It is true that Scientology and Scientologists attempted to have me convicted of theft of documents. It is true that they filed a lawsuit against me alleging that I stole documents. It is also true that Scientologists like Mr. Danchenkov and their collaborators have been telling the lie that I stole documents since I escaped from their cult. But they are all simply lying.</p>
<p>The law enforcement authorities that Scientology and Scientologists pressured to bring criminal charges against me refused. The civil case that the Scientologists brought against me was decided in my favor, and the Court stated in the judgment:</p>
<p>&#8220;The court finds that while working for L. R. Hubbard. . . [I] . . . had permission and authority from plaintiffs and LRH to provide [contracted writer] Omar Garrison with every document or object that was made available to Mr. Garrison, and further, had permission from Omar Garrison to take and deliver to [my] attorneys the documents and materials.”</p>
<p>The Court also ruled that because I was subject to “fair game,” by which Scientology “harassed and abused” people “it perceives as enemies,” the “reasons and justification” for my actions were “manifest.”<br />
<a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/07/breckenridge-decision1.pdf">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/ga/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/breckenridge-decision1.pdf</a></p>
<p>This judgment was affirmed in 1991 in the California Court of Appeal.<br />
<a href="../wp-content/uploads/1991/07/283calrptr917.pdf">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/ga/wp-content/uploads/1991/07/283calrptr917.pdf</a></p>
<p>Despite these judicial rulings and their affirmance on appeal, because of the relevant Scientologists’ seemingly conscienceless condition, they have continued to falsely assert, as Mr. Danchenkov is doing, that I stole documents.</p>
<blockquote><p>He is currently wanted by the police of the United States on a number of charges for which he could face imprisonment and be required to pay fines for contempt of court.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>If</em></strong> it is true that I am wanted by the police of the United States on a number of charges, it would be yet another instance and operation of fair game Scientology and Scientologists are perpetrating. It is my belief, however, that Mr. Danchenkov is not correct, that I am not wanted by the police of the US, and that he knows I am not wanted by these police.</p>
<p>It is true that Scientology has been successful in obtaining a series of unlawful jail sentences against me for lawful violations of an unlawful injunction that the cult obtained against me in Marin County, California Superior Court in 1995. <a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/12/injunction-1995-10-17.pdf">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/ga/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/injunction-1995-10-17.pdf</a></p>
<p>Scientology’s injunction unlawfully prohibits me from discussing Scientology, Hubbard, Scientology organizations, and even Scientologists such as Mr. Danchenkov, who is a Scientology employee. The injunction also unlawfully prohibits me from helping Scientology or Scientologists’ victims, or people adverse to Scientology or Scientologists. Such persons all comprise the “Suppressive Person” class, which is identified as a hated and persecuted religious class by Scientology “scripture.”</p>
<p>Scientology’s injunction is unlawful and lawfully judicially unenforceable, and no person has a duty to comply with unlawful orders. Nevertheless, Scientology has been successful in having certain California courts unlawfully enforce its unlawful injunction and issue unlawful orders to fine, jail and financially ruin me.</p>
<p>Since Scientology is considered a religion in all US states, Scientology’s injunction is equivalent to a secular court order that prohibited a person from discussing Christianity, Jesus Christ, Christian Churches, and Christians, and prohibited the person from helping anyone adverse to, or for that matter not adverse to, some named church or religion. The jail sentences Scientology has been able to obtain against me are as unlawful as jailing people for discussing Christianity, Jesus Christ, Christian Churches, and Christians, or for helping or not helping anyone adverse or not to Christianity or any other religion.</p>
<p>It is both ironic and fully understandable that Mr. Danchenkov has for many years been involved in the effort to portray Scientology and its members as defenders and advocates for religious freedoms around the world. See, for example, this comment I happened to include in a <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/writings/armstrong-ltr-grieboski-2004-10-25.html">letter in 2004 to Scientology collaborator Joseph K. Grieboski</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Your research associate Kyle Ballard writes this about his project “The Study of Religious Freedoms in Russia:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>In modern democracies, religious freedoms are fundamental. Thus, as Russia is shedding its Communist ideology and emerging as a democratic state, religious freedoms have become essential. With this in mind, I traveled to Moscow and Nizhniy-Novgorod to attend the Experts Conference on Religious Freedoms in Russia and to study the position of religious minorities in Russian society.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>My assistant was Alexei Danchenkov, Russian national and a legal analyst and spokesman for the Church of Scientology. In attendance at the conference were academics, journalists, state servants, political advisers, and religious freedoms advocates from both Russia and the United States. The conference provided an open forum to discuss the state of religious freedoms in the Russian Federation and allowed U.S. experts to share the American experience. Moreover, because the Church of Scientology works extremely hard on religious freedom issues, I was provided with much information the struggles of religious groups around the world.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Scientology is a global, well-documented suppressor and destroyer of basic human rights, including, most egregiously, freedom of religion. To cloak this antisocial reality, Scientology has people make ridiculous claims, such as, for example, that Scientologists are “religious freedom advocates,” or that “Scientology works extremely hard on religious freedom issues.”</p>
<p>Very relevantly, Mr. Danchenkov, as “<strong>Church of Scientology of Moscow Spokesman” and “Editor-in-Chief of &#8220;Right to Freedom,” </strong>is a contracted “beneficiary” in Scientology’s injunction that unlawfully and unarguably suppresses and destroys my basic freedoms including my religious freedom. He is also a contracted beneficiary in Scientology and Scientologists’ unlawful efforts to enforce their unlawful injunction. He benefits personally by having me jailed and fined.</p>
<p>The injunction’s unlawful prohibitions, moreover, also apply to “persons acting in concert” with me. There are, of course, many people around the world, indeed many in Russia, who act in concert with me, in defiance of Scientology and Scientologists’ injunction. Consequently, the conspiracy against human rights, particularly religious freedom, in which Mr. Danchenkov is a beneficiary and participant, is truly monstrous.</p>
<p>I was in Russia, in fact, on this occasion, to discuss my amazing Scientology-related legal situation, and specifically how it applies to persons and groups acting in concert with me. I was also helping to organize the class of Russian citizens who act in concert with me, in order to oppose Scientology’s injunction and have it declared unlawful and unenforceable.</p>
<p>The class of people acting in concert with me, as considered by Scientology’s injunction, have never had an opportunity to be heard or even to appear in the Court that made them subject to that Court’s orders. The same Court issued its unlawful orders against me without giving me a fair trial, or even an unfair trial, but at least I got to make an appearance in the case. The whole class of persons acting in concert with me has never had the opportunity to appear in Court, and had no notice that the Court would or might issue such an order that directly, adversely, and unlawfully, affects the class. I was in Russia because it is time that this grotesque injustice is ended.</p>
<blockquote><p>- Is Mr. Armstrong really an expert on Scientology?</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I am not, however, claiming or suggesting that this is in some way an enviable status. Indeed, experts on Scientology, that is, those who tell the truth, tend to be victimized and their lives made as miserable as Scientologists can make them. It is simply a statement of fact, no matter how unenviable, that I am such an expert.</p>
<p>For me to deny this fact, in order, for example, to get Scientologists to stop victimizing me, is pointless because, as indicated above, they know that I am the expert they say I am not. The Scientologists would clearly still know this, and accordingly still fair game me, even if I said as they say that I’m not the expert they say I’m not.</p>
<p>I do not believe that being an expert on Scientology is a unique or rare ability or station. In fact, I believe that virtually anyone who learns and communicates the truth about Scientology can be an expert. My goal is to have as many other people as possible have the same expertise I now have, because, the more people that have that expertise, the safer for all of us.</p>
<blockquote><p>- In 1984, Gerald Armstrong was preparing a plot to seize the assets of the Church of Scientology.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is false. There was no such plot.</p>
<p>The truth is that Scientology’s intelligence personnel, operated at that time by L. Ron Hubbard and his successor David Miscavige, concocted a plot to make it appear that I was plotting to do things I wasn’t plotting to do. They were the plotters. I was the mark. The cult’s covert operatives sent to contact me – Dan Sherman, David Kluge and Mike Rinder – claimed they were members of a group of Scientologists who wanted to take control of Scientology from Miscavige, end his era of criminality, and in fact have him jailed for his crimes. The operatives insisted on meeting in secret because, they said, everybody in their group was afraid for their lives.</p>
<p>This group of “ethical” Scientologists approached me with the come-on that they wanted my help against their criminal bosses because, they said, I had successfully stood up to them and their criminal cult. Scientology leaders and intelligence personnel know that I’m a person who is often very willing to help people, and they have used this “help button” many times to get close to me, run intelligence operations on me, and try to entrap me. Sherman, Kluge and Rinder and their operators attempted to inveigle me into unethical or criminal activities, but were unsuccessful.</p>
<blockquote><p>When the circumstances of this crime were uncovered, an investigation was conducted concerning Armstrong&#8217;s plans.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is false. I committed no crime. The videotapes Scientology made were illegal, and what the cult has done with the illegal videos is tortious and illegal. Since the whole “Armstrong Operation” was schemed, programmed, manned, drilled and executed by Scientology and its agents, the idea of Scientology and its agents uncovering the operation and conducting an investigation into the operation is blackly funny.</p>
<p>For more details regarding the Armstrong Operation, see this declaration of February 20, 1994: <a href="../../50grand/legal/decl-1994-02-20.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/decl-1994-02-20.html</a><br />
Also see this related declaration of February 22, 1994: <a href="../../50grand/legal/decl-1994-02-22.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/decl-1994-02-22.html</a></p>
<blockquote><p>During this investigation, he was recorded on videotape stating that he intends to fabricate and plant incriminating documents on Church premises, where they would be discovered during a subsequent raid.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is false. What I suggested is that <em>if</em> these people, who were asking for my help, and who were claiming to want to reform Scientology and end its criminal activities, really meant it, they should document what they knew of their cult’s criminal activities so that there was an accurate record no matter what happened.</p>
<p>As an action in their fair game campaign, Scientology and Scientologists pervert what I was suggesting, as Mr. Danchenkov is doing here, to assert that I wanted to “fabricate” documents or evidence. All I was doing, however, was attempting to lawfully help and encourage the people who came to me for help to stand up against a dangerous evil. These people, of course, were fakes, who didn’t want to reform Scientology, but were, like Mr. Danchenkov, working for that dangerous evil.</p>
<blockquote><p>Armstrong admitted that his goal was to overthrow the supreme leader of the Church, using sexual enticement in a scheme which Armstrong named &#8220;Operation Long Prong&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>As stated above, the removal of Scientology head David Miscavige and prosecuting him for crimes were the goals that the “reformers,” the cult’s own covert operatives, claimed were theirs. Those goals would not prevent me from helping these people as reformers, because Miscavige is a clear sociopath and has committed crimes for which he <em>should</em> be prosecuted. Those were not specifically my goals, however, in agreeing to help his agents who were claiming to be his victims.</p>
<p>What are relevant at this time, since this “interview” for portal-credo.ru is all about me, are my actual and current goals regarding Scientology and Scientologists. I stated these five easy goals in a letter to Miscavige in 2008.<br />
<a href="../../50grand/writings/armstrong-ltr-miscavige-2008-03-13.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/writings/armstrong-ltr-miscavige-2008-03-13.html</a><br />
I’ve also communicated them publicly on numerous occasions for other Scientologists and for normal people over the past few years.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>1. Release everyone from any restraint that prohibits them from speaking freely about their experiences and knowledge.<br />
2. Repudiate the &#8220;Suppressive Person&#8221; doctrine.<br />
3. Pay reparations to everyone harmed by Scientology or Scientologists or their agents&#8217; application of the SP doctrine.<br />
4. Pay back Scientology&#8217;s fraud victims.<br />
5. Tell the truth.</em></p>
<p>When I reflect on my state of mind back in 1984, my goal then was to have Scientologists stop their war on me, my family, friends, and everyone. That’s essentially what Scientology and Scientologists promised in a group settlement with their victims in December 1986. Scientology and Scientologists, however, have never stopped their war on us, so that goal has not been attained. The five easier goals are reasonable steps or requirements to show that the war has been stopped.</p>
<p>“Operation Long Prong” was a thoughtlessly scribbled, tasteless note of a joke I wrote, actually to ridicule Scientology and Scientologists’ spy mentality. Ultimately, the joke may have been what Scientology’s intelligence personnel and leaders estimated was enough to destroy my reputation or my ability to continue to oppose their aggression and abuses. Their estimate was wrong, however, and my bad jokes have not destroyed me. I wrote in my February 20, 1994 declaration:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>It has not ceased to be embarrassing to me whenever the organization trots out the Armstrong videotapes, because I do say some silly and raunchy things. But the organization has never been able to embarrass me into silence and it won&#8217;t now.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Some of Armstrong&#8217;s actions are quite revealing.  For example, he posted a message on the internet about his letter to Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War.  In the letter, he offered himself to Hussein as a hostage in the Iraqi war.  The letter ends with the words: “If either side failed to perform any part of the agreement, the other side could execute me.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Mr. Danchenkov implies that what is quite revealed by my November 1,1990 letter to Saddam Hussein is something deranged or nefarious about me.<br />
<a href="../../50grand/writings/saddam-bill-wgert-and-me.html#saddam">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/writings/saddam-bill-wgert-and-me.html#saddam</a></p>
<p>Elsewhere Scientologists or their agents make more explicit claims about the letter; for example that it shows my “mental stability is questionable,” or evidences a “personality disorder.” See, for example, Scientology’s US-based website: <a href="http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/gerald-armstrong/">http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/gerald-armstrong/</a></p>
<blockquote><p>In addition to his unlawful activities, Armstrong’s mental stability is questionable. Armstrong once posted a message on the Internet concerning a letter he sent to Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. In the letter, he offered himself to Hussein as a hostage in the Iraqi war. “If either side failed to perform any part of the agreement, the other side could execute me,” he concluded. Armstrong makes clear in his posting that he did not think the letter to Hussein was a joke, but was deadly serious. He quite proudly republishes it and other similar writings from time to time. To further demonstrate how out of touch he is with reality, Armstrong had himself photographed by a newspaper naked while holding a globe to promote his theories of destroying all money.</p></blockquote>
<p>Also see Scientology’s Russia-based site: <a href="http://religiousfreedomwatch-ru.org/religious-extremists/gerald-armstrong">http://religiousfreedomwatch-ru.org/religious-extremists/gerald-armstrong</a></p>
<blockquote><p>В дополнение к его незаконной деятельности, душевное здоровье Армстронга находится под вопросом. Однажды Армстронг в одном из своих сообщений в интернете привел письмо, которое он послал Саддаму Хусейну во время войны в Персидском заливе. В этом письме он предлагал самого себя в качестве заложника для Хусейна во время войны в Ираке. «Если какая-либо из сторон не выполнит какую-то часть соглашения, вторая сторона будет вправе казнить меня» — написал он в заключение. Армстронг четко заявляет в своем сообщении, что он не рассматривал письмо к Хусейну как шутку, наоборот — это было в высшей степени серьезно. Он с достаточной гордостью публикут это и другие похожие послания время от времени. Для большей демонстрации того, насколько он потерял связь с реальностью, Армстронг сфотографировался для одной из газет, будучи голым и держа Землю, для продвижения своих теорий уничтожения всех денег.</p></blockquote>
<p>Importantly, also consider Scientology and Scientologists’ submission to the US’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on which its many entities in 1993 were granted tax exemption, and consequently US Federal Government protection and promotion.<br />
<a href="../../50grand/cult/irs/index.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/irs/index.html</a></p>
<p>There are several pages of black propaganda on me in Scientology’s submission, which its leaders and the people preparing the submission knew to be false. Such false statements to the IRS are grounds to have Scientology’s tax exemption withdrawn, if the US Government had the will. The statements also evidence the importance the IRS had placed on the <em>Scientology v. Armstrong</em> case in previous denials of the cult’s demands for tax exemption. See, for example:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Church of Scientology v. Gerald Armstrong</span>:<br />
We have included some background information here and an epilogue to the decision in question. That is because the Service has continuously thrust the Armstrong case at us, demanding an explanation. The Armstrong case decision was so inflammatory and intemperate that it was used to stigmatize the Church in the legal arena and make other outrageous decisions possible. As we shall demonstrate below, all this decision ever involved was Armstrong&#8217;s state of mind, which subsequently obtained evidence proved conclusively to be one sordid, sado-masochistic nightmare.</p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>Our consistent view has been that the civil litigants are solely motivated by greed. The exception is Armstrong who we truly believe to be psychotic. During the 1980&#8217;s, the IRS used every single civil litigant against Scientology as an IRS witness. The government, however, has no business in taking sides in a religious or civil dispute. It is indeed ironic to note that once the Flynn civil litigation in the 80&#8217;s was settled, with the exception of Armstrong, we hear no more of their &#8220;horror stories&#8221; from these paragons of virtue claiming to be interested only in &#8220;principle&#8221; and &#8220;what is right.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="../../50grand/cult/irs/csi-prod-1993-11-04-152016-152073.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/irs/csi-prod-1993-11-04-152016-152073.html</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Scientology and Scientologists are driven to use whatever exists and whatever can be manufactured therefrom to show that their thoughts, words and actions against me are right, and completely justified, indeed necessary and honorable. One of their most important and often repeated pieces of “evidence” that I’m truly psychotic is my 1990 letter to Saddam.</p>
<p>The letter, obviously, is unrelated to Scientology. It could stand alone for consideration without reference to Scientology. Anyone could have written it without my history and present relationship with Scientology. The cult made the letter “relevant” in a lawsuit it filed and prosecuted improperly against me in the 1990’s. Once it obtained the letter in the legal proceeding, Scientology has used it in its black PR campaign.</p>
<p>I’ve just re-read the letter. It is grammatically solid, philosophically consistent, literary, and sincere. I was, of course, aware that there was little likelihood that Saddam would pay any attention, or even hear of my offer. I was, nevertheless, willing to make my life available if called for to avert or in relation to the coming war. Doubtlessly my offer on behalf of people who don’t participate in national negotiations could have been preferable to the wars that have since happened in Iraq.</p>
<p>The letter does not, however, evidence a personality disorder, legally, medically or societally, any more than any other understandable and sincere offer within a person’s capability in a tense situation evidences a personality disorder. Scientology’s leaders do not truly believe I’m psychotic, but clearly believe that their survival depends on getting others to believe I’m psychotic so that what I say won’t be believed.</p>
<p>In addition to black PRing me for writing Saddam Hussein to try to prevent war, Scientology also black PRs me for my writings about my plan for peacefully resolving the world’s economic problems. Scientologists have demonstrated that no matter what I say or do, no matter how unrelated to Scientology, no matter how enlightened, beneficial or even holy, they will attack it to attack me.</p>
<p>Yet, the attacks on me, and my associates, besides being hurtful, are irrelevant. It would not matter if I was truly psychotic, or truly evil, or the evilest person on earth, it is not right or lawful to try silence me about the Scientology religion and its religionists, by court order, by threat, or by any other means. And I am not such a person.</p>
<blockquote><p>Armstrong had himself photographed by a newspaper naked while covering himself with a globe, which, according to him, symbolizes the idea of refusing any money.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is false, and Scientologists know it’s false. They know I was wearing running shorts, which was completely appropriate apparel for the occasion.</p>
<p>President Jentzsch’s 1993 letter to Entertainment Television: <a href="../../50grand/cult/jentzsch-ltr-1993-08-05.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/jentzsch-ltr-1993-08-05.html</a></p>
<p>Former international chief spokesperson Mike Rinder’s 1994 letter to the Mirror Newspaper Group: <a href="../../50grand/cult/rinder-ltr-1994-05-09.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/rinder-ltr-1994-05-09.html</a></p>
<p>Current international chief spokesperson Tommy Davis recently made the same naked claim as reported in Lawrence Wright’s profile of Paul Haggis, “Apostate,” in the February 14, 2011 issue of <em>The New Yorker</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Davis passed around a photograph of Armstrong, which, he said, showed Armstrong “sitting naked” with a giant globe in his lap. “This was a photo that was in a newspaper article he did where he said that all people should give up money,” Davis said. “He’s not a very sane person.”</em></p>
<p><em>Armstrong told me that, in the photo, he is actually wear­ing running shorts under the globe.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/02/14/110214fa_fact_wright">http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/02/14/110214fa_fact_wright</a></em></p></blockquote>
<p>This photo, which was published in <em>Runners World</em> in the February 1995 edition, shows me wearing the same pair of shorts while running. <a href="../../50grand/media/rat/runners-world-1995-02.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/media/rat/runners-world-1995-02.html</a></p>
<blockquote><p>- Why then was this man, who has been outside more than 30 years since he was a member of the Church, invited into the country and called one of the leading experts on Scientology by the chairman of the Expert Council of the Russian Ministry of Justice?</p></blockquote>
<p>The real reason, ironically, is just because of what Scientology and Scientologists like Mr. Danchenkov have done during those almost 30 years to unlawfully silence me, in knowing violation of international human rights charters, and even US Federal criminal statutes.</p>
<p>I was in Russia in fact to offer my legal case and situation with Scientology to the Russian Ministry of Justice and to other Ministries and officials who must deal with the cult’s fraud, abuses and criminality.</p>
<p>That Scientology can get and has gotten people to conspire to suppress and destroy human and legal rights, and allow themselves to be contracted beneficiaries in that illegal conspiracy, is enough reason for Russia and every country to act to properly warn its citizens about Scientology and its conspiracy against rights.</p>
<p>The Chairman of the Expert Council of the Ministry of Justice Dr. Alexander L. Dvorkin, St.Tikhon’s Orthodox University, and other Russian institutions and Russian citizens deserve gratitude and respect for their courage in inviting me speak and for daring to act in concert with me.</p>
<blockquote><p>- I believe that more qualified experts have a different point of view.</p></blockquote>
<p>I would very much like to find out who these more qualified experts are. I am already certain that Scientology’s <em>less</em> qualified experts, for example Gordon Melton, James R. Lewis, Massimo Introvigne or Eileen Barker, have a point of view that is radically different from mine, simply because they’re Scientology’s experts, or its collaborators. I have never found, however, a more qualified expert whose point of view is radically different from mine. And neither Mr. Danchenkov nor portal-credo.ru, unfortunately, identifies who these more qualified experts are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Victims of Scientology’s Sea Org operation are being referred to the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking (CAST) in LA for legal and social service help. I contacted the referring person Nancy Many because I meet the criteria and need legal help, and other offered social services. She asked me a prepared set of screening questions and cleared me for CAST&#8217;s help.</p>
<p>Caroline and I then did some checking around and discovered a number of connections between Scientology, including OSA personnel, and CAST and its execs.  Major CAST funding was arranged by Diane Watson, a Scientologist and US Representative from California’s 33rd District. I alerted Ms. Many and posted what we were finding to Scientology-related forums. Ms. Many’s e-mail exchange with me ended in a threat that I take seriously, and consequently I will be making our correspondence public.</p>
<p>Because ex-SO people are being referred to CAST as human trafficking victims, this matter relates to the Headley v. Scientology human trafficking case that was just dismissed on summary judgment in US Federal District Court in LA.<br />

<p>Much of the information Caroline and I discovered up to a point we’ve posted in this thread on Operation Clambake:  <a href="http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=32760">http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=32760</a></p>
<p>There are discussions on Why We Protest and Ex-Scientologist Message Board that contain the same basic information plus some attacks and some support:<br />

<p>Caroline and I have continued to gather information on this situation, all of which adds up to something fishy and scary. There&#8217;s an effort, which includes people who should know better, to discount the Scientology – CAST connections and their implications, to dispense with this as wild speculation, dispense with me as a wild speculator, keep the referral line going. It hasn’t been properly understood that I am the client and so far the only identified victim in this situation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mark:</p>
<p>Some people have been saying that I wanted an apology from you, or you <em>should</em> apologize to me, or even that you’ll <em>never</em> apologize to me, for the fair game you perpetrated against me and got others to perpetrate against me while you were in the Scientology organization. I want to assure you and everyone else that I am <em>not</em> seeking or asking for an apology. In fact, an apology from you without you doing what you can to correct the wrongs you perpetrated and are ongoing could be yet another cruelty. With your apology plus a quarter I could make a local payphone call.</p>
<p>What needs attention and resolution are ongoing black PR, ongoing injustices, ongoing human rights violations, and the ongoing effects of other crimes, which you were involved in and <em>can</em> help resolve. I know that you know this.<span id="more-4490"></span></p>
<p>The situation between you, me and Scientology is analogous to a conspiracy that gets a person falsely imprisoned. The victim sits for years in prison. One of the co-conspirators leaves the conspiracy, perhaps because the head conspirator, the crime boss, beat up one too many of the otherwise happy criminal co-conspirators. The falsely imprisoned guy learns that the <em>ex</em>-conspirator has left the conspiracy (or at least the ex-conspirator <em>claims</em> he’s left the conspiracy) and is publicly offering to help people that he or the conspiracy had hurt. The ex-conspirator seems to be claiming that his ethics are now one hundred eighty degrees diametrically opposed to what his ethics were when he was a lieutenant conspirator under the head conspirator.</p>
<p>Although the Sea Org/Scientology is more a criminal organization than a spiritual organization, because it calls whatever it is and does “religious,” you could use the usual Catholic analogy, in which an ex-Catholic had been a Cardinal Conspirator under the Pope Conspirator. The Catholic Conspiracy, from the Pope through some Cardinals down through some more clergy to attorneys and lay thugs, would have been carrying out the Pope’s Holy Command Intention to have the earlier ex-Catholic falsely imprisoned, and in other ways criminally attacked. The person who’d left the Church years before the Cardinal blew could have been a Bishop, or maybe just a Clerk, but perhaps was an uncommonly blessed Clerk, who’d known God personally, and had been authorized by God to do the research for His Biography. The Catholic analogy is not inapt, but I think the conspiracy is easier to follow and understand without the vaticanist trappings, since it is a simple criminal conspiracy, even if called a sacrament.</p>
<p>The falsely imprisoned guy writes to the ex-conspirator asking for the offered, and clearly needed, help. The ex-conspirator doesn’t respond to his victim’s request, which his victim e-mailed to him and posted on various Internet sites to make sure the ex-conspirator got, and very clearly, where his victim was coming from. With good reason and, especially given the circumstances, good humor, and with accuracy and care, the victim communicated some of his sincerely held thoughts about the situation and the human relationship. As an icebreaker, the victim made his initial communication an interparagraphing analysis of a perjurious declaration the ex-conspirator had executed to cause the victim trouble and harm a number of years even before getting him falsely imprisoned.</p>
<p>As you can see, the ex-conspirator would be even crueler than he had already been if he “apologized” to the victim and then did nothing to bring the ongoing crime against the victim to an end. In our analogy or scenario, the ex-conspirator does neither. He doesn’t apologize and he doesn’t help. In fact, clearly contemptuously, he doesn’t communicate back at all.</p>
<p>Not receiving a response from the ex-conspirator, his victim again writes him requesting his help to correct the injustices the ex-conspirator had for many years perpetrated and prolonged against the victim. Specifically, the ex-conspirator had known about the conspiracy’s theft of the victim’s valuable documents and artwork, also years before the false imprisonment, and could have been, if he really had left the conspiracy, a great help in getting them back to the victim. Again the victim receives no acknowledgement, not a word granting him a shred of credence.</p>
<p>The victim waits another month or so then writes the claimed ex-conspirator again, about another cruel injustice that the conspiracy had perpetrated against the victim. Some people had suggested to the victim that victimizers like the ex-conspirator wouldn’t help their victims unless their victims were extremely polite to them. The victim thinks that this is what bullies or sociopaths standardly do to their victims; nevertheless, he is extremely careful to be extremely polite, and even pre-apologizes in case he was being thought of as overly polite. Again, the victim insures the victimizer gets his communication by sending it directly and publishing it publicly. Despite his victim’s extreme politeness and his care in making sure the claimed ex-conspirator really got his communication, the claimed ex-conspirator again doesn’t even acknowledge his victim.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, by this point, the victim is fairly certain that the claimed ex-conspirator is still part of the conspiracy, doing some twisted nastiness for the conspiracy as he’d done for many years; or he is simply a coward and a bully, and just blowing smoke about helping victims. Nevertheless, the victim writes yet again, trying to assuage his victimizer’s guilt, if he was feeling any, and if he was using the guilt he was feeling in excusing not helping his victim. The conspirators, including the ex-conspirator, as a key part of their criminal conspiracy to destroy the victim, had conducted a global defamation/psychoterror campaign that included lies the ex-conspirator knew were lies. The ex-conspirator had been in places and positions in the conspiracy to know the truth, including the truth about the other conspirators’ knowledge of the crimes they were committing against the victim. The ex-conspirator knew that the conspiracy against the victim and his rights was unlawful, and knew that unlawful acts were committed in furtherance of the conspiracy. The ex-conspirator correcting those lies and confessing to the knowing unlawfulness of the conspiracy and its actions would be a very effective step to start righting the wrongs they had committed and were ongoing.</p>
<p>Despite the victim being one of the conspiracy’s most victimized victims, and despite the claimed ex-conspirator’s vital participation in the victimizing, yet again the claimed ex-conspirator doesn’t respond, or even acknowledge the victim’s existence. Yet again, the victim’s letter had been reasoned, factual, accurate and polite. The ex-conspirator comments publicly in another matter about only responding to communications that are civil, and he’s probably intimating that he hasn’t responded to his biggest victim because he wasn’t civil enough. His victim, of course, was not only civil, but polite, and not overly polite, and the ex-conspirator, whether or not he really had left the conspiracy, is treating and handling him with contempt.</p>
<p>Again too, I’m sure you can see, an apology from the ex-conspirator without his doing whatever he could to correct the judicial injustices and other ongoing iniquities, would be cruel. The ex-conspirator’s contempt for the victim, which the silent treatment à la Lisa Tech evidences, was made willfully more contemptuous and crueler by the ex-conspirator’s setting up a “practice” in which he is the possessor, seller and deliverer of superlative “ethics.” If the ex-conspirator would help his victim as he could and never apologize, doubtlessly the victim wouldn’t object. If the ex-conspirator apologized at any point in their relationship from here on, doubtlessly the victim, being reasonable and not at all like the black PR the conspirators had manufactured about him, would be grateful. An apology could even help, and psychologically and socially could even help the ex-conspirator. But the victim isn’t asking for an apology, because, without the requested help, it would be cruelty.</p>
<p>The analogy is closer to reality than most people would imagine, I would imagine, because, although I have not been falsely imprisoned all the years of your analogous victim above, the Scientology conspiracy did obtain and currently possesses a series of unlawful orders jailing me in California and fining me. I simply didn’t comply with these unlawful orders because they’re unlawful, and no one has any lawful obligation in California, or anywhere in the US, to comply with any order that isn’t lawful. There are still unlawful orders to jail me in California, and you could be very helpful in getting them canceled. If I had complied with even one of those unlawful orders jailing me, the Scientology cultists could have kept me jailed for years, or decades or forever.</p>
<p>You know all the details of the Miscavige regime’s unlawful orders against me, in fact you know details of all Miscavige’s and his regime’s fair game on me, up until 2005, I suppose, when you say you blew from Gilman. I’ll provide a brief description of the unlawful orders and circumstances, and some comments on the relevant related issues, however, so that others who will read this will have enough information to create a pretty clear picture. The available and relevant documents, of course, for all <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/category/legal">Scientology’s legal cases against me</a> are well organized on my site.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a4/2623.php">1995 injunction</a> Scientology got against me in California Superior Court in Marin  County was obtained unlawfully and is on its face unlawful. The injunction has been one of the most insane, self-destructive successes imaginable for Scientology. What a flap! And it’s still ongoing. And you, Mark, were involved in the litigation to obtain the injunction, and in the enforcement actions following its unlawful grant. In fact, you were, throughout many of those years, directly <em>over</em> the litigation. It’s funny really, if you could think about it, that you write to Bert Fields that you held the “second highest ecclesiastical position in the [Scientology] religion” when you were over litigation. This supports the reality that litigation is an ecclesiastical activity, or religious expression, or religious exercise. In my life, as I have proven, it certainly is.</p>
<p>You were on the approval line for the <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a1/625.php">unconscionable contract</a> that would make every Scientology church, every affiliated entity, and all of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, assigns and attorneys, <em>beneficiaries</em>,<em> </em>not only in the unlawful contract, but in the unlawful injunction that enforced the unlawful contract, and in all the actions, which are all unlawful, taken to enforce the unlawful injunction. I won’t focus on the injunction here, although clearly it is an injustice that must be corrected, even for the benefit of the Scientologists it makes universally and willfully suppressive of basic human rights, but I’ll deal mainly with the enforcement efforts, which resulted in the unlawful jail sentences and fines against me.</p>
<p>You were also involved in fair gaming my attorney Michael J. Flynn from the day you were assigned to the Special Project or MAC. The “<a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/juggernaut-eval.html">Juggernaut” eval</a> is actually a criminal conspiracy. You were also involved in the operation to frame Flynn with the $2 million check forgery, using testimony Scientology purchased and which you knew to be false. From <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/aznaran/decl-aznaran-1990-07-19.html">Vicki Aznaran’s July 19, 1990 declaration</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I have been informed by Mark (Marty) Rathbun, a high ranking Scientologist, that his private investigator, Gene Ingram, &#8220;fed&#8221; confession to Ala Tamimi when visiting him in an Italian prison. This false confession was, in substance, that Tamimi had been involved in a bad check scam involving an account of L. Ron Hubbard. This false confession implicated attorney Michael Flynn in the check scam. Michael Flynn was at the time considered a major enemy of Scientology because he represented numerous clients with claims against Scientology. This purported confession was used to slander and attack Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn has also been sued by Scientology as part of its &#8220;strategy&#8221; for handling enemies.</p></blockquote>
<p>So you know what was done to conspire against, threaten, manipulate and degrade Flynn to get him to get me to sign your unlawful contract. These actions too must be confronted, the contract rescinded as unlawful, and the record cleared. As I said above, however, I will just deal now with the efforts to enforce the injunction that enforces the contract, and the unlawful jail sentences and fines you and your fellow religious conspirators obtained against me.</p>
<p>You will recall my <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/4235">August 14 letter</a>, in which I requested your help to correct the black PR on me that you and Miscavige submitted to the IRS to get Scientology’s 1993 tax exemption. I mentioned in the letter that in January 1997, while living in San Anselmo, California, I discovered<a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/irs/index.html"> some of this black PR</a> on the Internet, and that the discovery was so shocking that I felt I had to flee. I was also well aware at that time, of course, of Scientology’s leaders’ willful dishonesty, evil intentions toward me, and their propensity for physical violence, and I felt I had to be in a place, Canada, where I could more safely deal with this black PR and Scientology’s other attacks and threats. As you know, now twelve plus years later, time has proven me right. I also was painfully aware, obviously, that I could not get justice, or even reason, from the Marin Court Judge who’d issued the unlawful injunction and other unlawful orders and who had unlawfully denied me a fair trial, or <em>any</em> trial, Gary W. Thomas.</p>
<p>Back in January 1997, as Randomity would have it, just a few days before I actually left California, and while I was getting ready to leave, which was an extraordinarily threatening and troubling time, Grady Ward, a friendly fellow fighter against Scientology lies, abuses and criminality, served me with a subpoena for production of documents in the US District Court copyright infringement case he was defending against the cult. The following day, Andrew H. Wilson, the cult’s attorney in the <em>Scientology v. Armstrong</em> state case, sent me a <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/3193"> letter</a> claiming that my production of the subpoenaed documents to Ward would be a violation of the contract and injunction, and threatening me with enforcement if I produced the subpoenaed documents to Ward. Wilson didn’t copy Ward or the US District Court with his letter, and, although Wilson stated that Scientology would file a motion for a protective order in the Ward case to prevent my production of the subpoenaed documents, the cult never did file the motion.</p>
<p>Because Wilson’s threat and attempted interference was clearly unlawful, since I was a subpoenaed witness, I wrote a declaration reporting the threat and sent it to US District Court Judge Ronald M. Whyte, who presided over the Ward case and the related copyright infringement cases, Erlich and Henson. It was completely lawful, in fact arguably a legal duty, to report Wilson’s threat, and the report could not lawfully be prohibited by any injunction, certainly any State Court injunction. After reporting the threat, I left California for Canada. I had already filed a notice of appeal from the injunction and was awaiting the Marin County Clerk’s creation of the record and transcript for the appeal.</p>
<p>While I was in Canada, Scientology had Wilson file an application in Marin for an order to show cause re contempt against me for sending the declaration reporting Wilson’s threat to Judge Whyte. Scientology never served me with the application, or the OSC. Only many years later did I obtain a copy of some of the documents Wilson and Scientology filed in this matter. In his declaration in support of the application, Wilson omitted any mention of Grady Ward serving me with a subpoena <em>duces tecum</em>, any mention of Wilson’s threat, and any mention of the fact that I was sending my declaration to the federal judge to report that threat.</p>
<p>Scientology and Wilson, with machinations you would know about, then got the Judge Thomas, who had already granted the unlawful injunction and an equally unlawful judgment, to grant the cult’s <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a4/2882.php">contempt order</a>, punishing me with two days in jail and a $1,000 fine. There is no mention in the order of Grady Ward serving me with the subpoena <em>duces tecum</em>, of Wilson’s threat, or that my declaration reported that threat to Judge Whyte.</p>
<p>While reasonably safely in Canada, I received the Marin Superior Court Clerk’s Transcript on Appeal, and I wrote and timely filed my <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a4/3100.php">Appellant’s Opening Brief</a> in August 1997 in the California Court of Appeal in my appeal from Scientology’s unlawful injunction and judgment. Given where I’d written my brief, my situation, condition and resources, my brief is actually very good, and eminently civil, and no one has offered any reasoned and legally supported opposition to its substantive arguments. Scientology didn’t file a respondent’s brief, but filed a motion to dismiss the appeal based on the unlawful contempt order Judge Thomas had signed, which, the cult said, made me a fugitive from justice and therefore barred me from appealing.</p>
<p>What machinating Scientology, Scientologists and your attorneys organized to get Division Four of the First Appellate District to dismiss my appeal from the patently unlawful judgment and injunction, after I had filed a competent, well-supported and civil brief that showed that the injunction on which the contempt order, jail sentence and fines were based was unlawful, you would know, I’m sure, in considerable detail. After you got that appellate division to dismiss my appeal, it became clear to me that defiance and not civility was what was needed for Scientology and Scientologists.</p>
<p>My becoming very defiant as a result of your criminal abuse of process and conspiracy against my rights led me to see, of course, that defiance and civility weren’t mutually exclusive. My civility as a terrorized victim was simply transformed into the civility of a victim who has become very defiant. Defiance, as I intend it here, is “bold resistance to an opposing force or authority” and is, as you can see, neutral. Scientologists, for example, defy me to try to correct the injustices you’re perpetrating against me, and, of course, they defy logic, and even defy God. I defy Scientology’s and Scientologists’ lies. I defy you all to confront your “Suppressive Person” doctrine. I defy you, Mark, to prove that you’re on the right side. I defy you to prove you can’t understand what I’ve written. I defy all Scientologists to prove their “reason” is superior, or even reason at all.</p>
<p>Throughout my adult life, I have been civil, and in fact consciously and automatically polite and courteous. In an earlier communication to you, I mentioned my need to communicate as I communicate, and to publish what I publish, to counter Scientology’s and Scientologists’ lies and black PR on me. I mentioned specifically the big lie to the IRS to get your tax exemption that all of you truly believe I’m psychotic. The very same abundance of my writings and other communications now also has to prove, and does prove, that I’m civil. I am as civil as anyone as defiant as I am could be. I defy you to find anyone as defiant as I am and more civil than I am. In fact, I defy you to find anyone who is, whether a defiant victim or not, as big a victim of Scientology persecution as I am, and more civil.</p>
<p>The common, non-social emotion and attitude among Scientologists, which is installed in them by the application of Scientology, is contempt. They even watch each other to make sure they’re contemptuous enough of the right victims. Scientologists are universally contemptuous of me. Contempt is also, you should be aware, the actual, non-social tone and attitude of bullies and sociopaths. Scientologists’ group contempt for someone, or for others, facilitates aggression toward the targets or victims of their contempt. One of the available tones and attitudes in response to Scientology’s and Scientologists’ contempt and aggression or fair game is defiance, bold resistance. I’m happy to be able to report that the number of wogs defying Scientology’s and Scientologists’ contempt and aggression has grown exceedingly over the past several years. This expansion of planetary defiance, of course, has validated my own choice to defy these evils, and even made my defiance more defiant.</p>
<p>Your communications indicate that you are elevating your contempt for me to the point of demanding that I be <em>civil</em>. Yet, as a defiant victim of Scientology and Scientologists, you included notably, I am excruciatingly civil, dotting every i, crossing every t, and obeying every other convention or rule of grammar, etiquette and civility. You’re actually demanding that I stop being a civil defiant victim and just be your civil lickspittling victim, which I could never be even if I wanted for some insane reason to be. Your demand, of course, is both impossible and ludicrous. Victimizers demanding politeness from their victims is a form of what Hubbard called in scripture “double-curving.”</p>
<p>My defiance of your contempt is good for you, for me, and in fact it’s good for everyone. When you stop being contemptuous, naturally, I’d stop being defiant. I’d still be civil, but I’d appear very differently to you. You’d see in fact what you already know; that I’d been civil all along. So really, an apology from you, as long as you remain contemptuous of me and don’t help to end the continuing injustices and other fair game against me, would be just more contempt, more fair game, and, as I said, more cruelty, which, of course, is what contempt and fair game is intended to be.</p>
<p>Following your success getting Judge Thomas to sign your contempt order jailing and fining me for my sending my threat report to Judge Whyte, you also got Judge Thomas to sign a <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a4/3001.php">second contempt order</a> for thirteen religious expressions about the Scientology religion I expressed in Europe and Canada, punishing me with another twenty-six days in jail and another monetary fine. Such an order is no more lawful than it would be to jail a person for expressing religious expressions about the Christian religion. The idea that an injunction issued by a California State Court judge, clearly either deranged or degraded, can lawfully prohibit a Canadian citizen from expressing his religious expressions about a religion in Canada or anywhere else is, of course, obscene, and clearly impossible.</p>
<p>After Judge Thomas retired, you used his series of unlawful orders and the Court of Appeal’s unlawful dismissal of my appeal to get another Marin Court Judge Vernon F. Smith to sign another <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a4/3317.php">contempt order</a> against me for one hundred thirty-one religious expressions of my religious experiences and religious knowledge of a religion and its religionists. Being as defiant as I humanly could be, knowing that the contract’s and injunction’s conditions that I was violating were inarguably unlawful, and just living my life, I had, even by that time, actually violated these conditions hundreds of thousands of times. I would say that I have violated these unlawful conditions millions of times.</p>
<p>Over my sincere opposition at every stage, you priced each religious expression of my religious experiences and religious knowledge at $50,000 per expression, and you got Judge Thomas to agree that was a reasonable, fair and judicially enforceable figure. I disagreed that my religious expressions of my religious experiences and religious knowledge had that monetary value, but Scientology and all Scientologists, and certainly you, who were then in charge of litigation, insisted upon that valuation, and Judge Thomas went along with you. To further unlawfully help Scientology and Scientologists to unlawfully persecute me, he also went along with your unconscionable math, ruling it perfectly fathomable. The multiplicand for the $50,000 would be determined by the recipients, or even intended recipients, of any religious expression of my religious experiences in and religious knowledge of the Scientology religion.</p>
<p>You’ll recall that you had Scientology state in its early lawsuit to enforce its contract against me that I had sent a <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/writings/armstrong-ltr-1992-12-22.html">single religious expression</a> to 19 people establishing its value at $950,000. All my religious expressions times their recipients times $50,000 a pop, I’m sure you’re aware, generates more monetary value than there is money in the world. In his <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/a4/depo-farny-vol1.html">deposition</a> in the case, your junior during many years Lynn Farny provided the ecclesiastical adverb “a pop” when explaining how Scientology performed its monetary valuations of my religious expressions.</p>
<blockquote><p>[Attorney Michael L. Walton:]  Q. The sending of this letter Scientology has alleged entitles it to $950,000 in liquidated damages. Can you explain that to me?</p>
<p>[Lynn R. Farny:]  A. Yes, I can. The letter which is attached to the Complaint as an Exhibit E is nine pages long and provides an extensive amount of information. Now each of the individuals designated in paragraph 87 received a copy of this letter, so it&#8217;s the disclosure of information to those individuals at $50,000 a pop which totals 950,000.</p></blockquote>
<p>This letter to you, which I intend and expect conservatively a million people will receive, is worth, according to the Scientology “beneficiaries,” $50 billion.</p>
<p>Based on the unlawful injunction, judgment and contempt orders, in 2002 <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a7/3388.php">you had Scientology sue me again</a>, seeking $10 million for two hundred of my religious expressions, virtually all of which were expressed in Canada or Europe. Your suit was also against Bob Minton and the Lisa McPherson Trust, seeking more millions from them for “acting in concert” with me in violation of your unlawful orders against me. You sued Minton for purchasing a computer for me because that computer would be used by me to express my religious expressions about the Scientology religion. Your attorneys <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/scientology-threats-ga-associates.html">unlawfully threatened several people</a> with judicial enforcement of the unlawful injunction.</p>
<p>In 2004, at a trial of your $10 million suit, which was not the fair trial I seek in which I can put on a defense, Marin Superior Court Judge M. Lynn Duryee dispensed with the jail sentences and fines Scientology had obtained against me as unconscionable punishment. Amazingly and demonically, and through a very dishonest connection in the same appellate division that had dismissed my appeal of the unlawful injunction on the basis of the unlawful contempt order, Scientology was able to get this unconscionable punishment reinstated. I have the complete <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/a7/appeal/index.html">appellate record</a> on my site.</p>
<p>Thus there are still these unlawful jail sentences and fines that prevent me from traveling to California, and even threaten my traveling anywhere else in the US. You know they’re unlawful, and shouldn’t want them, if you have any conscience, to be considered lawful by anyone; and you’re perfectly able to help me correct these and all the injustices Scientology and Scientologists have perpetrated against me all these years. That you worked so assiduously under Miscavige to silence people about Scientology, and make it appear lawful to silence people about Scientology, is a crime not only against me but against all wogs, and even more, against all Scientologists.</p>
<p>Scientology and Scientologists, as you know and doubtlessly directed, have also used, and continue to use their unlawful California jail sentences and other unlawful orders against me to black PR me and cause me trouble all around the world. See, e.g. this <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/osa-ltr-fsb-2001-04-20a.html">2001 OSA black PR</a> to a huge list of Russian Federal, and Provincial departments and officials, the clergy, and the mass media :</p>
<blockquote><p>I am talking about Gerald Armstrong, a man who will take part in this conference and will present a paper on April 24, 2001.</p>
<p>In May 1998 the Supreme Court of the State of California issued an order to &#8220;arrest him and to bring him to the court&#8221; and that this arrest &#8220;can be conducted any time day or night&#8221; (cited from the court decision). I should add that this Armstrong was to be brought before the court and held accountable for anti-religious propaganda.</p>
<p>The order has not been executed until now for the simple reason that Armstrong is not at the moment residing in the US and thus is outside the reach of American justice.</p>
<p>I have no doubt that neither the Diocese of Nizhny Novgorod nor the authorities of Nizhny  Novgorod Province and the city of Nizhny Novgorod have access to this data; otherwise this man would not have been put on the list of participants in the Conference.</p>
<p>I include here a copy of the document sent to me from the USA and I ask you to find out whose initiative it was to invite this man to Nizhny Novgorod, deliberately not informing the government that he is a criminal element. It is necessary to carefully screen all the list of the participants as well.</p>
<p>I also would like to inform you that this document, with an explanatory letter similar to this one, has already been submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian  Federation, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian   Federation. Moreover, the information about the arrival of Armstrong in Russia has been handed to the U.S. Embassy in Russia so that the necessary measures may be taken for his detention.</p></blockquote>
<p>Or see <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/osa-app-crim-charges.html">Scientology’s false statement to have me prosecuted in Ekaterinburg</a>, Russia in 2003, which included this “support” for the demanded false prosecution:</p>
<blockquote><p>We ask you to take measures, which are provided for by the law in relation to the members of this group of people. And we inform you, that G. Armstrong was brought to justice for his illegal activity. Namely, the Supreme court of the state California, County of Marin, case #157680, sentenced G. Armstrong to be guilty and demanded him to pay the compensation in the amount of $300 000 to the plaintiff. The Supreme Court of state California county of Marin, case #152229, awarded the Order to immediately arrest G. Armstrong, who purposely violated the writ 13 times. Also, the Supreme Court of California county  of Marin, case #157680, #152229 declared, that the defendant G. Armstrong is guilty in 13 acts of contempt of court. Also he is punished for the previous contempt of authorities by the fine $200 for each infringement (totally $2600) and confinement in the County Jail for a period 48 hours for each infringement (totally 26 days). G. Armstrong should appear before the Court of the county of Marin, obeying the law, or should be brought to suffer punishment till 10 of February 1998. In case G. Armstrong does not obey to the mandate of the court, the bench warrant will be issued  to arrest him immediately and subject to confinement, till the punishments for the contempt of the court are fulfilled.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you stick with the Scientology position that the orders jailing me and fining me for expressing my sincere religious beliefs, experiences and knowledge about this religion, or any other religion, are desirable, moral or lawful, then you support Miscavige on this most key issue confronting Scientologists. On the other hand, if you really want to bring Miscavige to justice, to get justice for the victims of his regime’s injustice, and to actually defend human rights, then these orders and my relationship with Scientology and Scientologists provides an excellent opportunity. My case and the orders against me are all about human rights, and I have fought for this opportunity for over twenty-seven years. The help I need from you is your knowledge of what you were doing, or getting others to do, or of what Scientology was doing, that was not lawful, or fair, or conscionable, or even arguably advisable in its conspiracy to silence, imprison, ruin, and beastify me. If you tell the whole time, place, form and event, my attorney and I will make great use of it to do great good.</p>
<p>Yours civilly as always,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mark:</p>
<p>I’m writing to you about black PR as a key Scientology scriptural policy and practice because of my earlier requests to you to help correct and end the black PR on me that for many years you had helped generate and disseminate.</p>
<p>The following is an excerpt from HCOPL 11 May 1971 “<a href="http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=546&amp;Itemid=30" target="_blank">Black PR</a>,” which I used to support my paper “<a href="http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=544&amp;Itemid=1">Scientology, the Dangerous Environment Racket</a>.” (<a href="http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=544&amp;Itemid=1#_edn52">Note # 52</a>)<span id="more-4306"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>About the most involved employment of PR is its covert use in destroying the repute of individuals and groups.</p>
<p>More correctly this is technically called BLACK PROPAGANDA.</p>
<p>Basically it is an intelligence technique.</p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>Black propaganda is, in its technical accuracy, a covert operation where unknown authors publicly effect a derogatory reaction and then remain unknown.</p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>The ability of the public to stand around and look stupidly at a dripping-handed murderer without doing a thing about it is a symptom of our civilization. They ought to act. They don&#8217;t. You can form an opinion amongst them but governing bodies won&#8217;t consult it.</p>
<p>Exposure is not an effective road to action. It can be to opinion. It is slow.</p>
<p>Then what is effective?</p>
<p>INTELLIGENCE</p>
<p>By definition intelligence is covert. Under cover. If it is kept so all the way, it is effective.</p>
<p>When intelligence surfaces, it becomes very ineffective.</p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>Exposure is the basic threat of intelligence.</p>
<p>PR is the willful broadcast of information.</p>
<p>The two don&#8217;t mix well.</p>
<p>BLACK PROPAGANDA</p>
<p>Possibly used since the morning pale of history, black propaganda was developed by the British and German services in World War I into a fine art.</p>
<p>The word &#8220;propaganda&#8221; means putting out slanted information to populations.</p>
<p>One propagandizes the enemy population or one&#8217;s own or neutrals.</p>
<p>In popular interpretation it is a parade of lies or half-truths or exaggerations.</p>
<p>PR and advertising technology and mass news media are employed as well as word of mouth and posters.</p>
<p>The trouble with it is that it can often be disproven, discrediting the utterers of it.</p>
<p>It may serve the moment but after a war it leaves a very bad taste.</p>
<p>If one is engaging on a campaign of this nature, its success depends on sticking to the truth and being able to document it.</p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>So black propaganda is not a certain-result technology. It is costly. It makes fantastic trouble.</p>
<p>Essentially it is NOT a PR campaign. It is a cross between PR and intelligence.</p>
<p>The technique is</p>
<p>A hidden source injects lies and derogatory data into public view.</p>
<p>Since it is a hidden source, it requires an intelligence approach to successfully end it.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile the &#8220;dead agent caper&#8221; is the best tool to counter it.</p>
<p>Legal action can restrain such a campaign but is chancy unless one knows the source or at least has counterdocuments. It is risky solely because &#8220;law&#8221; is unpredictable. However, legal action has a definite role in restraining, not in ending, such a campaign.</p>
<p>A good policy when faced with a black propaganda campaign is to defend as best you can (dead agent and legal restraints) while you find out (intelligence) WHO is doing it. Then, confrontation can occur. Finding and suing false whos can make things much more involved.</p>
<p>Black propaganda countercampaigns are inevitable. One engages upon them whether he would or not. These are engaged on while one narrows down the area to an exact WHO. For instance, one knows the whatsits are attacking one. Thus he can counterattack the whatsits. But what are the whatsits exactly, and to whom are they connected, and exactly WHO (an individual always) is keeping it going? These last three have to be answered eventually. And that requires an intelligence-type search.</p>
<p>THE CROSS</p>
<p>So there is where intelligence and PR cross.</p>
<p>When PR goes into black propaganda (hidden source using lies and defamation to destroy) it has crossed intelligence with publicity. They don&#8217;t mix well.</p>
<p>The action is risky to engage upon as it may run into an ex-intelligence officer or trained intelligence personnel. It may also run into a dead agent caper or legal restraint. Anyone engaging in black propaganda is either using a wrong way to right a wrong or confessing he can&#8217;t make it in open competition.</p></blockquote>
<p>The “dead agent caper” has been going on probably as long as there have been lies that could be disproved, somewhere around the start of recorded history. Hubbard then didn’t discover dead agenting, any more than Sun Tzu discovered it. It’s wog tech, which Hubbard certainly makes scriptural and mandatory, and consequently Scientology tech, or to be correct, Scientology admin tech.</p>
<p>Black PR is more than a lie, being a tech and a program or campaign in which lies can be used. The statement that Scientology and Scientologists truly believed I was psychotic (uniquely among all other victim claimants) is a lie in the black PR package to the IRS, which was one operation in the 27+ year, and ever expanding, black PR campaign against me.</p>
<p>This particular black PR is particularly unconscionable and cruel because Scientology and Scientologists were at that very time seeking to deny me the right, and consequently the opportunity, to correct any lie or black PR about me anywhere, including with the IRS. This black PR was kept secret from me, even when over several years of litigation Scientology should have, by law and court order, produced it to me in discovery. Scientology and Scientologists and their attorneys effected the derogatory reaction they sought: the IRS accepted their black PR, didn’t even bother to check the facts, got rid of the Service’s personnel who knew the cult and cultists were lying about me and other victims, and granted the cult tax exemption.</p>
<p>Scientologists, virtually universally, would deny that Hubbard made black PR scriptural, and would insist that they and their religion only DA the black PR that is spread about them. Yet Hubbard clearly used Scientology scripture to black PR his imagined enemies – critics, journalists, psychiatrists, SPs, etc. – and even to black PR the whole human race. That Hubbard black PRed these groups and individuals in scripture and in his orders relating to them, is beyond dispute, as is his reason: to keep his underlings keeping his Scientology working. His black PR locked in his malignant narcissism. He didn’t withhold his malignity from Scientologists, of course, black PRing them all the way from raw meat to ethics bait to robots to PTSes to clay pigeons to squirrels to Type 3’s to DBs to SPs.</p>
<p>Hubbard actually green lights, and arguably compels black PR campaigns as Scientology tech when he says they’re inevitable and will be engaged upon whether Scientologists would or not. In HCO PL 16 February 1969 “<a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/sp/pl-1969-02-16-battle-tactics.html">Battle Tactics</a>” he orders that Scientologists are to “degrade the image of the enemy to beast level,” which is the most beastly statement and goal imaginable for any organization’s black PR tech.</p>
<p>The “enemy” Hubbard wants black PRed are actually good, conscienceful human beings who dare to stand up to his and his troops lying, bullying and fair gaming.</p>
<p>When I was faced with Scientology’s and Scientologists’ black propaganda over many years, including, vitally, to the IRS, my policy has been to defend as best I could, by dead agenting Scientology’s and Scientologists’ lies, while I found out WHO was doing it. To DA their lie that I’m psychotic, I’ve, of course, had to speak and write a great deal in order to leave absolutely no doubt as to who’s lying. I’ve also, naturally, had to violate the Marin Superior Court injunction in which virtually every Scientologist is a beneficiary. That hasn’t been an ethical problem for me, despite Scientology’s and Scientologists’ threats and efforts to enforce the injunction, because its prohibitions that I violate are unlawful.</p>
<p>Since I first discovered it, I’ve had a pretty good idea of WHO originated the black PR to the IRS. It was clear that Miscavige was ultimately behind it, because he’s ultimately behind all Scientology black PR, all its fair game and all its crimes. But your admission to the SP Times that YOU <em>and</em> Miscavige prepared Scientology’s answers to the IRS’s questions, which answers contained the black PR on me, was a bolt of intel from the blue. As Hubbard wrote in “Black PR,” now confrontation can occur.</p>
<p>An article “<a href="http://www.scientology-cult.com/inside-tech.html">Inside Scientology Compilations</a>” on scientology-cult.com also says that as Inspector General for Ethics you were responsible for authorizing “OSA submissions,” which would have included the <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/sp/pl-1969-02-16-battle-tactics-reiss-87.html">reissuance of “Battle Tactics</a>.” That reissuance, of course, necessarily entailed the reapproval of beastifying and obliterating the good people who comprise Scientology’s victims.</p>
<p>You would also have been Issue Authority for the 1991 <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/osa-int-ed-508r.html">OSA Investigations Officer Checksheet</a>, which includes “Battle Tactics” as a starrate item, plus this demo:</p>
<blockquote><p>DEMO: 5 examples of the following stable datum:</p>
<p>“We must ourselves fight on the basis of total attrition of the enemy. So never get reasonable about him. Just go all the way in and obliterate him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>I haven’t seen the OSA Black PR Officer Checksheet, but I imagine they cross a lot despite not mixing well.</p>
<p>Having been a black PR manager and agent for many years for Miscavige and Scientology, you are very aware that in addition to what damage it does by itself, black PR is also used to justify all the other forms of fair game. Hubbard ordered that SPs’ images be degraded to beast level, so that fair gaming them, in fact obliterating them, became laudatory. That’s his infamous double curve tech, which is mandated in Scientology scripture. He never says, “Don’t double curve…” If you and the other “Loyalist” think-tankers deposed Miscavige and installed another leader and regime, would you retain Hubbard’s double curve policy and practice? Or would you confront the subject’s and organization’s evils that Hubbard used double curving to avoid confronting?</p>
<p>It is apparent to me that for you the black PR on me that you have originated, received or forwarded justifies your refusal to correct the lies or to help me end the injustices and other fair game that Scientology and Scientologists have perpetrated and continue to perpetrate against me. I don’t think you’d say to your posse or associates that you don’t help me because you’re afraid. Pretty well everyone’s afraid. I’m afraid that you, or Miscavige, or some Scientologist or Scientology op, agent, cutout or Marcabian candidate, will act to have me killed. I still send this letter, however, because, in this matter, I’m not a coward, nor am I paranoid. I don’t think you’d tell anyone who dared engage you on the Gerry Armstrong matter that you don’t do anything because you’re a coward. It would have to be because I’m such a bad person, I’m so evil, I’m such an SP, I’m so prolix, I’m such a Hubbard hater, I’m so truly psychotic, etc.</p>
<p>Yet the black PR on me in reality is useless. It wouldn’t matter if I was, as Scientologists from DM down, or up, postulate, the most evil person on the planet, you still cannot lawfully prevent me from talking about Hubbard, Scientology and Scientologists. It demonstrates the subject’s and organization’s sociopathy and its manufacture of sociopathy, plus demonstrates its failure. You Scientologists inside and outside of the cult have had 27+ years to DA me, to disprove what, also throughout that time, I was saying. You failed. You carried out a global black PR campaign against me, and did your dedicated OT best to degrade my image to beast level and get others to degrade my image to beast level. That campaign has not ended, although so far it too, like your DA efforts, has failed.</p>
<p>Now is the time to accept failure so we can all move on. Don’t buy or pretend to buy Scientology’s black PR that I need to get a life. I have one. I just don’t need eight million, or fifty thousand or even one Scientologist applying the SP doctrine to me, when it’s so clear that in the Scientology v. Armstrong war all of that application has only yielded loss, threat of loss, and terribly bad PR. Yes, I know that you got some court orders against me and unconscionable money judgments, you’ve been able to print black PR on tons of paper and send it around the world, and you’ve been able to keep threatening and posturing. But these are just Scientology and Scientologists committing more crimes for which they can also lose, and in the war of truths have already lost.</p>
<p>Everybody knows Scientology and Scientologists do what bullies do. When they lose, they always act the part of poor losers. They’re always hoping that one more piece of black PR believed by one more fooled person about the guy who successfully stood up to them will make their losing disappear. And it’s true; for a second it can seem to work. If black PR is dragged through time to keep it working, of course, it becomes sociopathy.</p>
<p>Poor losers also hope and pray for something evil to befall the person who stood up to them, which, in their minds, in many instances, is all it takes to win against them. That is why, since Scientologists universally sense that more black PR won’t work, 27+ years of black PR having failed (except notably with the IRS, of course), and since they refuse to dump poor loser tech, the threat of assassination has never been higher. There are some awfully gargantuan illusions on the line here. It would be beneficial to Scientologists and to their wog targets that they be taught and learn to be something different from poor losers, especially with all the losing they’re facing in their future..</p>
<p>Accepting that people’s evilness can be quantified, you cannot lawfully in the US silence someone about his religious beliefs about a religion if he was the most evil person on the planet. The evil I do, of course is to criticize the evil that falsely declares me and my class evil. I have long since proven that I am not evil. All the black PR Scientology and Scientologists and all their attorneys, agents and volunteers can mock up and spread around will never change this truth. Their black PR needs to be dealt with conscientiously, not as poor losers.</p>
<p>Hubbard and his underlings, and Miscavige and his underlings, and pretty well anyone who engaged upon these years of black PR actions against me, knew the risk, but weren’t allowed to acknowledge Hubbard’s warning. Even he didn’t heed his own warning. You all ran into an ex-intelligence officer that you knew was ex-intel from your own organization. Your black PR campaign ran into 27+ years of my DA capers, and is still running into them. This letter helps DA black PR on me. I’ve also actually restrained Scientology and Scientologists legally, even though, as I said, you’ve “won” an unlawful judgment, injunction and contempt orders against me. Scientology and Scientologists have been restrained into “Ignore Tech,” also known as “Ostrich Tech” or “Not-Is Tech,” which Hubbard never would have permitted.</p>
<p>He wasn’t lying, by the way, when he stated that anyone engaging in black propaganda is either using a wrong way to right a wrong or confessing he can&#8217;t make it in open competition. Hubbard and Scientology and Scientologists have never engaged in their black PR campaigns on me to wrongly right any real wrong. Therefore Scientology and Scientologists all confess that they can&#8217;t make it in open competition. If they would take that one Hubbard datum to heart it would be a very good start. Scientologists must teach and learn something different from poor loserism, and if it can’t be applied in Scientology they should become wogs.</p>
<p>It is clear that you don’t do anything about the black PR you manufactured on me because you are still invested in obtaining the result it brings, including the result achieved with the IRS. I think it would be good to honestly review your investment in Hubbard, in Scientology and in the results of your application of Scientology to SPs like me. In fact I think if any Scientologist and anyone else involved in the Scientology conflict would honestly review their investments in the same things, a great good could now occur.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How, Chief:</p>
<p>I’m writing in response to your article “<a href="http://www.scientology-cult.com/great-middle-path.html">The Great Middle Path</a>,” for myself and for all Scientology victims. I also represent “Suppressive Persons” who comprise a major class within the victims population. You’re promulgating faulty and destructive information about us, and I will comment on several of these points below. I’ll probably comment on other things as well that come to mind. I’m open to powwowing, because I’m like Running Deer, eh. Or maybe Ruminating Yak. <span id="more-3312"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>According to the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) the way toward light is along the great middle path.</p>
<p>That is, an intelligent, righteous pursuit of truth that bypasses the distractions of the extremes. Neither extreme asceticism nor extreme engagement in entertainments of the flesh leads anywhere but to from below whence one came.</p></blockquote>
<p>How about <em>neither</em> extreme asceticism nor extreme engagement in entertainments of the flesh, but some other path, like lying, bullying, extorting, or otherwise victimizing people? Do those paths lead somewhere other than anywhere but to from below whence one came, whatever that means?</p>
<blockquote><p>Observing the Scientology spectrum within such a framework is quite interesting.</p></blockquote>
<p>That’s funny. There’s no “Scientology spectrum” in Scientology scripture that matches your description. So your Scientology spectrum, whether true or utter bullshit, has to also be squirrel shit.</p>
<blockquote><p>The extreme, reactionary far right of the spectrum is occupied by David Miscavige.  He is so obsessed with maintaining his image as the only one who is really “On Source” that he consistently implements policies (written and oral) that are changing the very nature of the subject for the worse.</p></blockquote>
<p>I’d more or less agree with that. Cult head Miscavige worked very hard to keep Scientology working as it had worked under Hubbard, and just by doing that Miscavige made Scientology even worse.</p>
<blockquote><p>Scientology once consistently assisted people in becoming more themselves, more tolerant, more questioning of authority, more independent of thought, more insouciant, more free.</p></blockquote>
<p>Did it? There’s no proof whatsoever of that claim, and it’s so baseless it simply shouldn’t be made. Because it is impossible to become more oneself, I’ll call your claim that Scientology once consistently assisted people in becoming more themselves BS load no. 1.</p>
<blockquote><p>Under Miscavige those pursuing the highest levels of spiritual attainment in Scientology are instead becoming less themselves and more what he wants them to be: more intolerant, less capable of independent thought, more serious, and more imprisoned.  And all that comes with an ever increasing financial price – so let&#8217;s add “more worried about future survival” to the list.</p></blockquote>
<p>This would be load no. 2. Just as Scientology can’t make people more themselves, it can’t make people less themselves. It’s never grey. People are always themselves. You can say they’re becoming more or less themselves, but that does nothing, in the same way that Scientology does nothing.</p>
<blockquote><p>Thus, Miscavige has turned the only road to total freedom into the rocky road to virtual captivity.</p></blockquote>
<p>That’s frigging load no. 3. And you’re calling yourself Sitting Bull. I get it.</p>
<blockquote><p>The extreme, rebellious far left of the Scientology spectrum is occupied by those who would not be satisfied until every last word of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard was forever destroyed.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ah, the straw wogs. Load no. 4. You’re saying what Miscavige says. It’s his paradigm, and it was every Miscavigeite’s paradigm while inside. So, really, nothing has changed. How loyalist!</p>
<p>No, the spectrum of persons is Miscavige on one end and his victims on the other. Apply your middle ground wisdom to that real paradigm with real people, SB. Seems to me that you folks want to continue to victimize Miscavige’s victims but just do it from the great elevated (or enlightened) plateau of middle ground.</p>
<blockquote><p>The anti-Scientology extreme cut its teeth on the purpose line of restoring freedom of speech and thought on the subject.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ah, the straw men who-would-not-be-satisfied-until-every-last-word-of-Scientology- Founder-L.-Ron-Hubbard-was-forever-destroyed have become the “anti-Scientology extreme,” with teeth. You’re saying that being anti-Scientology is automatically extreme, right? Is Miscavige’s Joel Phillips op being a good “Loyalist?”</p>
<p>Funny, I wrote to your claimed erstwhile cult’s little dictator in 2006 about his use of the “extremist” label.  Miscavige uses the label to facilitate Scientology’s victims’ obliteration, and to incite Scientologists to hate, attack, pursue and even murder their cult’s victims. <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/29">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/29</a></p>
<p>You use that label for Scientology’s victims for the same reasons, because Hubbard used such labels – “critics,” “detractors,” “SPs,” “psychos,” “mad dogs, etc.” – for the same reasons. Your “enemies,” whether you are a Miscavige Scientologist, a Freezone Scientologist, a Loyalist Scientologist, or a pretended Scientologist of one group or another, are the same “enemies” Hubbard had – Scientology’s victims.</p>
<p>Those victims with sound intellects, if you haven’t confronted them, which you either willfully or unwillfully but clearly have not, will oppose you folks, because of your words and destructive intentions toward them, or us.</p>
<blockquote><p>Ironically, that very group is now demanding that everything L Ron Hubbard ever issued be burned in one colossal Spanish Inquisition-esque bonfire.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 5 &#8212; a crock! A straw group demanding a straw Spanish Inquisitionesque bonfire. Your loads help Miscavige against his victims.</p>
<blockquote><p>Thus, the antis have turned freedom to think and speak into freedom to think and speak as we do.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thus load no. 6. The “antis” my ass. You serve Miscavige’s ev purps toward his victims. There are no such people among the thinking wogs who oppose Scientology’s lies, abuses and criminality.</p>
<blockquote><p>Both extremes of the spectrum seem to have settled on one strong point of agreement. That is &#8211; getting the other guy is everything.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 7. Man, what you’re saying is so dishonest. Miscavige vs. your straw extremists is so ugly.</p>
<p>No, Chief, the paradigm, again, is Miscavige and his victimizers vs. Scientology’s victims. And in that paradigm, and real life conflict (not your straw conflict) you support Miscavige. You support Miscavige the liar, Miscavige the abuser, Miscavige the criminal, against his victims.</p>
<blockquote><p>What neither side seems to understand is that the generalization of their intentions toward one another only empowers the other side.</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh, I see, you have this piece of knowledge, by which I mean here this bit of BS, that no one on either side understands. Wow, how’s the ser fac tech working for you? I’m saying load no. 8.</p>
<p>But really, in the real world paradigm and conflict, which is Miscavige and his supporters or troops vs. their victims, you say your cult’s victims are generalizing their intentions.</p>
<p>By the way, just like every other Scientologist, you’re projecting. We who are your victims don’t like it. It’s the mental activity of bullies.</p>
<p>My intentions regarding the Miscavige cult are highly specific. I spelled them out several times over the years, and even included them in a letter last year to the little fakir himself: <a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/6">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/6</a></p>
<p>Those intentions don’t exactly empower your cult head, your cult, or your fellow cultists, do they?</p>
<blockquote><p>Unfortunately, the folly of these factions comes at the expense of the largely innocent majority.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 9. Who or what is the largely innocent majority? SF</p>
<p>Scientologists. SF</p>
<p>Wogs. LFBD F/N</p>
<p>Yes, but utter sheepdip. F/N</p>
<p>In the actual paradigm of Miscavige and Scientologists vs. their victims, or your victims, I suppose, you’d naturally love to make those victims be just as follyish as your victimizer faction. And you’d naturally love to have a “reality” in which the real victims of the victimizers victimizing good thinking people are all the people the victimizers haven’t yet victimized. Your kind of thinking, by the way, is becoming known as sociopaths’ logic. Good thinking people see through it.</p>
<p>You’re mocking up straw folly. There’s real folly in that.</p>
<p>You cannot now blame your continued victimizing of good people, your lies about us, your incitement of hatred against us, on Miscavige. That only leaves as their source Hubbard, or your own sociopathic nature &#8212; your choice. I suppose, for the Satanists among you, you can say the devil makes you do it; but for Scientologists, Hubbard is the other-determinism that guides their actions, most specifically their Battle Tactics or Fair Game against their victims.</p>
<p>Fortunately, you can jettison Hubbard almost instantly, with great joy, and without the slightest fear. Your own sociopathy may appear to be a much more unconfrontable challenge, but really it’s just as easy, a simple choice repeated through time. Why not give it a try?</p>
<blockquote><p>David Miscavige loves nothing more than appointing an enemy of Scientology to justify his continued, escalating abuses.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sure, he loves victiming people. He’s a clear, cruel sociopath. Who or what would like to be like him? LFBD</p>
<p>Scientologists. LFBD F/N Some of you Scientologists, apparently, say you don’t want to be like him, but want to have his power, and, as you acknowledge, to have the same “enemies” as Miscavige. And those are the good thinking wogs you and Miscavige black PR as “extremes” in your spectrum, and “extremists.”</p>
<blockquote><p>To the degree criticisms are generalized to the subject or even to staff or public, Miscavige gets a pass.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load nos. 10 and 11. Staff and public all support the cult’s victimizing of its victims. From what you write, so do you, and you appear to also be saying you’re neither staff nor the cult’s public.</p>
<p>If people stopped criticizing the subject of Scientology, not just Miscavige would get a pass, but all his troops or supporters, including you, would get a pass. You know what you can do with your sociopaths’ logic.</p>
<blockquote><p>He is only too happy to have his own criminal acts hung on innocent people (Scientologists at large) so that he can position himself as their protector.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 12. Scientologists at large aren’t innocent, as the world judges innocence. They support good people’s victimization. They pay fees, they volunteer, they do what you do, to support the victimization that gets postulated and executed as Miscavige’s command intention. Scientologists at large, moreover, participate directly in his victimization programs and pogroms. When all Scientologists but Miscavige stop victimizing people and stop supporting this victimization of people, then it would be proper or reasonable to stop criticizing all Scientologists but Miscavige.</p>
<p>Miscavige does nothing without massive support from Scientologists at large. These Scientologists at large, as the logical world judges innocence, are far from innocent bystanders.</p>
<blockquote><p>With that sleight of hand he is encouraged by well-meaning Scientologists to continue fighting wars with unlimited resources at his disposal. His favorite pastime.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sure, but you’re blaming Miscavige’s willful, at-cause, sociopathic sleight of hand on his war’s victims. Plus, you’re blaming the victims for well-meaning Scientologists’ encouragement or support for DM’s dirty, sick war.</p>
<p>Sure war is his favorite pastime – he’s a sociopath. But Scientology has made war virtually every Scientologist’s favorite pastime; they all win from victimizing their victims. Haven’t you?</p>
<blockquote><p>On the other side, Miscavige pours gasoline on the critics&#8217; fire by his intolerant, aggressive, and anti-social responses to their hue and cry.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sure he does – he’s a sociopath. Sociopaths always attack their victims to make them wrong for being their victims. This is universal among Scientologists, and is what you’re doing.</p>
<p>I don’t suppose you’ve cogged that in the Scientology spectrum that has Miscavige with his officers and troops on one end and their victims on the other end, you’re the critic, criticizing both the victimizers and the victims. Your goal, it appears, is not to help the victims, but to replace the head victimizer, take over the victimizing machinery, and keep the victims being victimized.</p>
<blockquote><p>Any criticism no matter how valid – and the most warranted criticism is always directed at his own conduct – is characterized by Miscavige as “anti-Scientology.”</p></blockquote>
<p>So what? He’s a sociopath. Plus he and his cult of victimizers fall back on Hubbard policies in scripture that mandate such sociopathic responses to criticism of their lies, abuses and criminality.</p>
<blockquote><p>Since an SP is incapable of any self-recognition of wrong-doing,</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 13. “Suppressive Persons” are generally good, decent people with good intellects, capable of considerable introspection, and possessing active consciences.</p>
<p>If you were to talk about sociopaths, concerning which the literature is much more scientific, accurate, useful and sane than Hubbard’s and Scientology’s “Suppressive Person” doctrine, you could make sense. But your adherence to the SP doctrine, which is indefensibly evil, makes no sense, except, of course, to make yourself right and others without that “tech” wrong. BFD</p>
<blockquote><p>instead of correcting his abuses Miscavige steps them up and keeps producing future enemies,</p></blockquote>
<p>Sure &#8212; he’s a sociopath. He’s a sociopath who uses Scientology to serve his sociopathic interests. Anyone can; Scientology facilitates it. And Scientologists virtually universally permit him, and in fact support him.</p>
<blockquote><p>all the while driving mere critics into the anti-Scientology camp by his efforts to censor and destroy them.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 14. Who or what are mere critics? X (oops, no read)</p>
<p>Censoring and destroying people makes victims. Victimizing people drives them into the victims camp. Virtually all people who oppose Miscavige and his victimizers know that their opposition makes them greater victims. At the extreme end of Miscavige’s Scientology spectrum are his biggest victims. They’re also your biggest victims. People whom he’s hardly victimized at all are all over the great middle ground. The closer people are to Miscavige in the cult (Mark Rathbun for example) the more they victimize Miscavige’s victims.</p>
<blockquote><p>To those who enjoy conflict and strife the opposite extremes of the Scientology spectrum are a match made in heaven.</p></blockquote>
<p>It’s <em>your</em> match made in heaven, a straw match.</p>
<p>The two ends of the Scientology spectrum, and the one reality, are Miscavige and Scientologists on the cause end and their victims on the receipt or effect end. I can see how you’d consider victimizing your victims heavenly.</p>
<p>You’ve projected onto your cult’s victims an enjoyment of the conflict and strife that you and your fellow cultists cause and enjoy. (You’re not claiming that you of all people are at effect are you?)</p>
<p>In the Miscavige and Scientologists vs. their victims conflict, the Scientologists, I think you’d have to agree, can never be the victims, because Hubbard defined Scientologists in Scientology scripture as “not victims.” Ref HCOB 18 July 1959 “Technically Speaking.”<br />
<a href="http://carolineletkeman.org/sp/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=1125&amp;Itemid=213">http://carolineletkeman.org/sp/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=1125&amp;Itemid=213</a></p>
<p>Hubbard didn’t order that Scientologists not be victimizers. In fact he wrote hundreds or thousands of directives in scripture on exactly how Scientologists should victimize people, both other Scientologists and wogs, financially, socially, psychologically and physically.</p>
<blockquote><p>Spewing generalities is the stock-in-trade of both sides, and those generalities further empower either side.</p></blockquote>
<p>What generalities? Please list.</p>
<p>What a pile of shit from cows you spew, Sitting Bull!</p>
<p>Deal with the Scientology v. Armstrong case specifically. You’ve been a beneficiary in the injunction, judgment and contract a long time. It would be really dumb to pretend ignorance of the case or of me, of my claims regarding Hubbard, Miscavige, Scientology, and Scientologists or other differentiatable persons, classes, groups, corporations or other entities in the Scientology v. Armstrong war, or of my knowledge, experiences and evidence.</p>
<p>He who goes looking for generalities is likely to find them all over the place.</p>
<blockquote><p>In the final analysis, those who generalize their attacks on Scientology and Scientologists are Miscavige&#8217;s best friends.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a cruel, willful lie. Load no. 15. You’re mocking up and attacking straw generalizers; but in doing so specifically attacking Scientology’s and Scientologists’ victims.</p>
<p>Miscavige’s best friends are those who attack Scientology’s victims. Tom Cruise attacks the cult’s victims with all his wealth, power and celebrity, so he’s Miscavige’s true best friend. Cruise gets this into Rolling Stone:</p>
<p>&#8220;Some people, well, if they don&#8217;t like Scientology, well, then, fuck you.&#8221; He rises from the table. &#8220;Really.&#8221; He points an angry finger at the imaginary enemy. &#8220;Fuck you.&#8221; His face reddens. &#8220;Period.&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=321&amp;Itemid=30">http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=321&amp;Itemid=30</a></p>
<p>DM loves Scientologists like Tom, who say to Scientology’s victims, the Scientologists’ not-imaginary enemies, “Fuck you.” That’s what you’re doing when you attack Scientology’s victims as extremists, or just as undeserving of your sympathy as Miscavige, their victimizer.</p>
<blockquote><p>By the same token, Miscavige by his penchant for generalizing any valid criticism of his own conduct as “anti-Scientology” is the greatest ally of the anti-Scientologist.</p></blockquote>
<p>That’s the corollary load no. 16.</p>
<p>In the Scientology v. Armstrong war, I cannot but be anti-Scientology. After all, every Scientologist is anti-Gerry Armstrong. You may honestly be so deranged you believe that because of his sociopathy David Miscavige is my greatest ally, but I honestly believe you know you’re bullshitting, Sitting Bull. No Scientologist is my ally, nor makes himself or herself my ally by further victimizing anyone, and you know it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Both extremes of the spectrum are busy keeping the innocent many embroiled, diverted and confused.</p></blockquote>
<p>More BS, SB. Load no. 17. You’re attacking your cult’s victims for embroiling Scientologists in the Scientologists’ victimization of their victims. The Scientological concept of Scientology’s victims “pulling in” their victimization is another example of sociopaths’ logic.</p>
<blockquote><p>Empowering the extreme minorities only leads the peaceful majority toward darkness.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 18. Actually empowering your cult’s victims would not lead anyone toward darkness. This is chaos merchant crap.</p>
<blockquote><p>The light shines upon a place far from the dark extremes of the spectrum.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 19, but serving the same ev purp. Scientology’s victims don’t lack light shining on them, and you can’t postulate it away with all your sitting and all your bull. It’s you, in fact, in this paradigm that needs to see that light.</p>
<blockquote><p>Think before lending support to either side of the darkness.</p></blockquote>
<p>Load no. 20. It’s not darkness, it’s light. And you’re full of it.</p>
<p>If you support Scientology, even if you do nothing more than call yourself a Scientologist, you support the victimizing of the same people Miscavige victimizes.</p>
<blockquote><p>Think for yourself.</p></blockquote>
<p>There’s nothing virtuous in thinking for yourself. It can be used for great evil. Sociopaths are highly skilled in that ability, in thinking for themselves.</p>
<blockquote><p>Let there be light.</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think it would go anywhere if you postulated that there be darkness?</p>
<p>Speak the truth now, Chief. None of that forked tongue tech.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mark:</p>
<p>In my May 31 2009 letter to you, I brought up the incident of Scientology agents breaking into my car in 1984 and stealing a bunch of my things, and Miscavige’s having them after their theft. I asked for your help getting them back; in fact I wrote the whole letter essentially asking for your help in righting years of wrongs Sea Org personnel under Miscavige, including you, have committed, and continue to commit, against me – and yes, many, many others.</p>
<blockquote><p>Oh, now that I’ve mentioned it in the above list of Fair Game attacks on me, I’ll also ask you about the theft of my original manuscript, artwork and other materials from my car. I know from both Vicki Aznaran and Jesse Prince that Miscavige actually claimed to them that he had these things in his possession after they were stolen my car, which was during the Armstrong videotape operation in the fall of 1984, so I trust you won’t pretend the theft didn’t happen. Just help me get my things back from Miscavige, okay?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/3292">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/archives/3292</a></p></blockquote>
<p>After writing you, I remembered that Jesse Prince had told me that both Miscavige and you had told him about having my things after their theft. I also found this from a 1999 letter to Miscavige that I posted to a.r.s.:</p>
<blockquote><p>You will recall that a cult operative broke into the trunk of my car in 1984 and stole my briefcase which contained about 300 original pages of my art, almost all handwritten or drawn. You will recall that my attorney Julia Dragojevic wrote to the org demanding return, and that your org attorney John Peterson answered, denying the theft and possession of my things.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Recently I had the happy opportunity to talk with Jesse Prince about all this. Jesse stated that while inside he too was told by both you and Mark Rathbun about your agent&#8217;s theft of my things from the trunk of my car and your having possession of them. Jesse recalled you describing my work as weird writing. You stole them, you know where they are and you can put your hands on them. Now get them back to me, and be known thereuntil as a thief.</p></blockquote>
<p>I’m aware that you could be another Loyalist op, Mark, but I’m taking you for now at face value. So far, on its face, what you’ve said, and to me not said, indicates that in the Scientology v. Gerry Armstrong war, you are on the cult’s side.</p>
<p><span id="more-3304"></span></p>
<p>Accepting what you’ve said about yourself, it isn’t easy for you to do what’s necessary to change that indication. I think, however, that if you start by debriefing about the 1984 theft of my things and what happened with them, and doing what is within your power to help me get them back from Miscavige, you’ll get the necessary courage.</p>
<p>It’s almost 25 years since my things were stolen. Following Vicki’s and Jesse’s debriefs to me about Miscavige possessing my things, I’ve written him and other Scientologists many times, requesting my things’ return. Doubtlessly you saw some of those requests in your years inside.</p>
<p>You knew John Peterson lied in his denial of Scientology’s knowledge of the theft. He was, of course, your organization’s front attorney just because he would willfully lie and would help Fair Game his clients’ victims.</p>
<p>I’d bet you knew about someone in the LAPD altering/losing my police report. These documents on the incident could refresh your memory:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/scientology-theft-manuscript.html">http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/scientology-theft-manuscript.html</a></p>
<p>My manuscript and original artwork, and every other piece of paper, are very valuable to me, and Miscavige, you, and many other Scientologists have known of their great value to me. Consider the nature of a group that would willfully inflict that pain on an individual all these years. It’s cruelty, Mark. And it’s an ongoing crime that should be confronted, stopped and expiated.</p>
<p>Yours steadfastly,</p>
<p>Gerry Armstrong<br />

<p>A number of these factual statements are &#8220;Doyle&#8217;s,&#8221; whom I haven&#8217;t met, but who has clearly done some research and fact-checking in response to Moxon/Miscavige/Scientology/Scientologists/cult agents&#8217; takedown of Richard&#8217;s (moronymous, onehuman) video.</p>
<p>The one fact that appears to come from me but doesn&#8217;t, and which I can&#8217;t support with names, times and places, is that I acknowledge that Kendrick Moxon is aware of hundreds of suspicious deaths that have occurred within the organization. I don&#8217;t know if there have been hundreds of suspicious deaths, or to whom any of the cult&#8217;s death are suspicious.</p>
<p>Scientology is certainly evil, Moxon is undeniably involved in the suppression and destruction of human rights on a massive scale for the cult, and he cannot but be aware of many of the cult&#8217;s and many of the cult&#8217;s cultists&#8217; crimes, and torts, and lies, and perversions, but I cannot make such assertions regarding his awareness of the cult&#8217;s suspicious deaths.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who speaks up in the Scientology v. Armstrong war, and in the greater War on Wogs (WoW!).</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve looked over what someone posted as the text of my short comment about Kendrick Moxon, and I haven&#8217;t found anything that is even slightly untrue, or defamatory.</p>
<blockquote><p>Moronymous: So Gerry, I heard you know Ken Moxon.</p>
<p>Gerry: Yeah. I knew Moxon.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know that I knew him very well or partly at all while inside the organization.</p>
<p>I knew OF him because he had a tremendous reputation inside as an unindicted co-conspirator in the US federal government&#8217;s criminal case against scientology&#8217;s intelligence personnel.</p>
<p>Moxon presented a knowingly false handwriting exemplar to the FBI to try and derail their criminal investigation of Scientology. After I&#8217;d left the organization, Moxon of course has moved up and out of the GO (Guardian&#8217;s<br />
Office) and is now really Scientology&#8217;s key in-house attorney and is close to Miscavige, close to dirty tricks within the organization. He is the attorney of record in my own case, he has participated in the Lisa Mcpherson case, and has been involved in taking my deposition in my own litigiation and in the Lisa Mcpherson litigation, and we have sparred on a number of occasions. I find him to be a deceitful and corrupt and conscienceless individual.</p>
<p>He knows &#8230; Ken Moxon knows &#8230; that what he is supporting is evil. Ken Moxon knows that Miscavige is a liar, knows that Hubbard was a gargantuan liar. Moxon has been involved in immoral criminal activities for the cult.<br />
Moxon is involved in the suppression and destuction of human rights in a very big way.</p></blockquote>
<p><em></em></p>
<p><em></em>I understand that who Moxon is is God&#8217;s son, just as everyone else is God&#8217;s son, and that God&#8217;s son cannot be corrupted and cannot have his conscience totally removed, even if that is Scientology&#8217;s goal. I mean with the statement that I find Moxon to be a deceitful, corrupt and conscienceless individual that this is the ego identity he&#8217;s been dramatizing. I was simply trying to write in a convention that everyone could understand, without everyone having to understand something other than what I was writing.</p>
<p>It is true that I can&#8217;t possibly know with total certainty that Moxon knows that what he is supporting is evil. It seems impossible that he doesn&#8217;t know, given his intelligence, profession and known activities. There is certainly all kinds of evidence, philosophical, psychological and physical that what Moxon is supporting, specifically the cult headed by David Miscavige, is evil. In his position as in-house counsel for the cult, I would argue, Moxon could not but know of all of that evidence. He has, moreover, never provided any evidence whatsoever to demonstrate that what he is supporting is *not* evil.</p>
<p>Again, it is impossible to me that a licensed attorney, unless he is insane or otherwise incompetent, which neither Moxon nor Scientology have claimed, could not know that Miscavige is a willful and monumental liar. If I can easily demonstrate that Miscavige is such a liar, just from his public and sworn statements, Moxon, who is much closer to DM than I am, and must have access to many more of his statements than I do, should be able to that much more easily demonstrate, and therefore know, that DM is a colossal liar.</p>
<p>Moxon, as an attorney of record in the Scientology v. Armstrong litigations, similarly cannot but know that cult founder L. Ron Hubbard was judicially declared &#8220;virtually a pathological liar.&#8221; That&#8217;s equivalent, not just literarily, I firmly believe, with Hubbard being a garganutan liar.</p>
<p>As for Moxon being involved in immoral criminal activities for the cult, and involved in the suppression and destuction of human rights in a very big way, the Scientology v. Armstrong war and litigation demonstrate Moxon&#8217;s involvement in these evils. I do not buy the excuse that Scientologists don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing, when they seek to suppress and destroy human rights, especially Scientologists like Moxon who use the wog justice system to accomplish this evil purpose.</p>
