Some highlights: "Scientology's celebrities are compensated richly for endorsements. John Travolta alone has had in excess of $100,000 of free services in compensation, commissions of up to 10% for bringing people into Scientology, free luxury accommodations and carte blanc use of the finest Scientology facilities and properties. Scientology's current leader David Miscavige learned that Tom Cruise had a fantasy of running through a field of tall wheat grass with Kidman. So, Miscavige ordered a section of Scientology's desert compound in Gilman Hot Springs to be plowed under and planted with wheat. At a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, and through the slave labor of cult members who work all day and all night for weeks, a field of tall wheat grass is grown in the desert so that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman may run though it. The cult knows Cruise is dyslectic and has difficulty reading and so 'convinced' him to let them handle his bookkeeping and the divorce from Mimi Rogers. Orchestrating this divorce was important to Scientology because Rogers was disaffected from Scientology; In managing the divorce for Cruise, Scientology still had enough influence over Mimi Rogers to convince her to accept a relatively paltry $10 million for the settlement. After completing this initiation, known as OT III, Tom appeared sickly with black circles under his eyes and pasty skin. He just wanted to go back to Hollywood and his home and be left alone by Scientology. Olivier Morice, representing plaintiffs who charge that scientologists illegally posed as doctors, said 1-1/2 volumes were missing from the 10-volume mass of evidence. This was his intent in posting NOTS 34 on March 30, 1996. By March 13, 1996, Defendant had begun to understand what NOTS 34 was all about. As part of that understanding he believed that NOTS 34 involved the use of an E-meter. He saw no reference in the NOTS 34 document recommending a Scientologist seek medical attention along with or in place of auditing with an E-meter. He had also acquired information that had led him to believe that Scientology E-meter processing could lead to dangerous physical conditions, even death. Thus, he had a reasonable belief that his infringement disclosed illegal activity and he further testified at length that he believed he was legally justified by some paramount public interest superseding copyright law. Defendant testified that he believed that copyrights could not be used to conceal criminal activity. Consequently, the jury's verdict is against the weight of evidence and should be overturned. It prevented Defendant from showing that Plaintiff's selective enforcement of its claimed copyrights were really an application of Scientology's 'fair game' doctrine against Defendant. The agreement stated the purpose of the money was to purchase my silence, but that I could never discuss this to anyone. I didn't learn the amount of the check until I got to the restaurant. The insulting amount, plus the suppressive agreement, and the labeling of the money as payment for silence, instead of a 'refund', led me to immediately refuse. Also I would never be permitted to report this to anyone. When I first got there, a guy in a cap and sweats, with a mustache (not fat mustache man, though) was sitting on a chair in the downstairs hall, facing towards the back of the bOrg. She didn't like the fact that she had me capering around and talking to her in a VERY LOUD voice. I could tell she was getting progressively more and more enturbulated as my declamation of the facts of the death of Lisa McPherson rolled past my lips. Her circle in front of my house became shorter and shorter as I switched from Lisa to asking her who her I/C was and whether she reported directly to Mike Rinder or not. Small group this time (myself, DW, Martin and his brother), but it took 9 of them to handle us, which we found amusing. Then they got excited over the fact that Martin's brother was a MINOR helping us, saying I was participating in a 'crime'. DW and I either had a handler, on just one of us or both of us at some point. On Martin and his brother they had five people on them at all times talking with them. He liked what they said and listened intently until a tall guy came from the org to pull him back in by the arm. He jerked away from the tall guy and said he was not ready and would come in when he finished talking. Frank 'Slugger' Ofman peeked out of the glass doors of the org but would not come out to play with the police there. Anyway, the tall guy came out again and persuaded the guy talking to Stacy and Jesse to come in. A Beacon Hill lady in a Volvo stopped to talk with Stacy about a friend who had a son who spent a lot of money and time on the Freewinds. The cult wants to put up a sign that will extend over where the roadway will go in the future, and has a meeting with the zoning czar tomorrow at 1:30. Today there were 8 cars, and two more arrived during the picket while one left. The org was advertising the Golden Age of Tech workshops for 1:30 today. Almost no cars arrived during our picket, so it must be a flop, or the local copy of 'Ability' magazine got the time wrong. Chris had a sign saying, 'SCIENTOLOGY HURTS PEOPLE' and (I think) 'SCIENTOLOGY: RELIGION FOR THE RICH', and he had three different flyers: The 'Why I'm Picketing $cientology' flyer; One woman came up to us shortly after we got there and asked where we got our information and if we thought it was true, and we said yes, we thought it was. I don't know what he meant by 'They'll be taken care of,' but I certainly hope he didn't mean committing violence against Scn and its members because that's the LAST thing Chris or I would want! Another guy asked us, 'What happened, did you guys go in once and they wouldn't let you out? I had a handler and two nice SeaOrg'rs decided to come out and talk. We discussed psychotherapy, dianetics, copyrights, fair use, minton, henson, how to quit smoking, proper diet and nutrition, Neuro Linguistic Programming, framing and references, how I get the stuff I print off the net using a computer at Kinko's, what bothers me about a 5013 using it's money to harass and sue individuals, and finally, why I was there. Garry was a nice enough gent and we talked for about 15 minutes (maybe a bit more) before I decided to call it a day. That it is protected so that the 'clergy' are the only ones who have access to it. Now that was an interesting argument that I had not heard put forward before. The camerawoman quickly lost interest and turned to take pictures of the clam-clown (yes it was a real clown) handing some poor child a balloon. Elrond was quick to point out that the Clams appeared to lack 'Clown-Tech'. To compensate for this handicap the Clams had done a paint-job reminiscent of a Stephen King movie. Elrond also pointed out that the balloons they were handing out had ribbons as string. The target audience are destined to accidentally release said ribbon causing crying children and pissed-off parents. Elrond explained the error of their ways and offered to show them how to tie a loop that will not slip. Meanwhile back at the other corner, the intrepid crew is being incited by the person I refer to in the photos as 'The fat fuck'. John's an avid Scientologist and feels the teachings of the group can help the president survive the Monica Lewinsky scandal. John has been bombarding the president with Scientology literature and self-help books. He also extended an invitation for the president to meet with some high-ranking Scientologists. They are not so naive as to think they can actually get it; It contains a permanent injunction forbidding me to infringe upon the OTs and NOTs copyrights. It happens to be so that Swedish law precludes prosecution for any act that is covered by an injunction. So, although copyright infringement is normally a prosecutable offense, I am permanently immune to prosecution thanks to the permanent injunction that the CoS won. Not much, compared to what I am already supposed to pay.
