I learned today that after George Magazine did its' article on
Gremany
and Scientology,David Miscavige flew east and met with John
Kennedy,Jr.
After the self-appointed cult leader left the meeting Kennedy
thought and
said:"what a nasty piece of work he is."
Look for a fuller report in an up-coming major-media story.

1998 will be no better for the cult than the end of 1997.The past
few days I
have been meeting and communicating with at least 2 major media
outlets a day
that are working on new stories.One will be even more
comprehensive than the
Secret Lives reworking of The Shrinking World of L.Ron
Hubbard.Naturally,I am
assisting them to be so factually accurate( with documents and
witnesses) that
you cannot ,in good faith, sue them.Today I even met with a major
network head
and tonght I am meeting with a senior U.S.State Dept
official.Yours may not be
a" turn the other cheek" kind of cult,commercial
organization and political
movement.And when it comes to your political and commercial
organizations
operations to intentionally destroy me, I am not a turn the other
cheek kind of
guy.
And how are you all going to claim that a 501(c)(3)
"church" should provide a
defense and indemnification to those of its' directors, officers,
staffers,
attorneys and private investigators that engaged in the sort of
Fair Game
Policy activities that I am about to sue you personally
for---along with
Rinder,Weiland,Farney,Moxon,Bowles,Bartilson,Kobrin,Quinn,Drescher,Abelson
,Ingram,other p.i.s, Bob Lewis,etc.,With the press and the
federal and state
govern ments monitering the litigation you are going to have to
defend and
indemnify on your own individual dimes.I wonder who will bail
first, stipulate
to a judgment " on terms" and turn states' evidence?
Can you really trust each
and every individual,with all their personal financial
considerations, to "stay
the course?"I do not think so.
You have surely been cursed to live in interesting times!And do
not think you
can avoid service of process by putting all these prospective
defendants on
that old hulk you call The Freewinds---as you apperently did with
Marty.A legal
procedure called substituted service, or service by publication,
will defeat
such an attempt to obstruct justice.And remember that there is so
much out
there now that waiver doctrine, and the crime/fraud exception to
the attorney
client privilege, means that none of you can hide behind any
ordinarily
applicable privilege.Moreover,think of the adverse reaction of
the judge and
jury when you try to claim privilege for Fair Game Policy
activities.Damages
to me of at least $90 million(compensatories and punitives)!
Just imagine the evidence that is going to be relevant in
discovery and trial.
And little if any can be the subject of a proper claim for
confidentiality.
Oh, DM, after all you have done to destroy me and my
livelihood,reputation and
privacy, my heart does not even bleed for you?
Incidentally,care to explain why you and Hebe were at Sonny Bonos
funeral?A
U.S. Congressman was a closet scientologist--or just in your
pocket?Now, what
about political donations?
And I am coming back into some scientology related cases. Now
that will be
good for Abelson and the other attorneys, and bad for Sea Org
Reserves,won't
it?Admit it DM. Scientology litigation is so much more
interesting with me than
without me,isn't it? Especially since you have accepted the fact
that I cannot
be handled and have no fear.

Title:
Henson,Berry,Abelson,Guttfeld & The Cult Of Treason
Author: grahameb@aol.com (GrahamEB)
Date: 14 Jan 1998 09:27:34 GMT
Today, tuesday January 13,1998, I entered a general appearance in
three of
the Henson cases: 1) To vacate the restraining order in Barton
v.Henson;
2) To defend him in the two breach of restraining
order cases;
3) To advise in regard to the litigation he might file
against both the Church and the City for the violations of his
civil
rights--particulary potent because of Bartons' status as an
L.A.P.D. Chaplain
whose actions exposed the City to substantial Section 1983
liability.
When I arrived at the courtroom in Hollywood I
encountered scientology para-legal (?) Howie Guttfeld
"running" scientology
in-house attorney Elliot Abelson ( yes, things are more than a
little like The
Mad Hatters Tea Party Party in scientology!).Eliott said that he
was there to
observe since he had some criminal defense experience.
Berry: Isn't that why DM hired you?
Abelson: DM did not hire me.
Berry: Well then, he is going to need to very soon!
Abelson: Are you still going to sue DM and me?
Berry: And a bunch of others as well , including Lyman
Spurlock and Norman.How is your malpractice insurance?
Abelson: I don't have any . The church will be
indemnifying me!
Berry: I will enjoy watching you argue to the I.R.S.
that this church should should indemnify you for conducting
"Fair Game"
activities!
Abelson: The church doesn't conduct " Fair Game "
activities.
Berry: Sure.
Berry, the assistant city attorney and the judge then retired to
the judges
chambers where the case(s) could be discussed outside of the
earshot of the
scientology representives such as Howie and Elliott. Indeed,
judicial officers
informed Berry that Elliott Abelson had been such a persistant
pest that he had
been cautioned.Berry opened by commenting that " all is not
what it appears on
the court papers!" The Court seemed surprised and
sympathetic when apprised of
the salient facts and obvious abuse of the judicial system and
its' orders.
The two Municipal Court cases were consolidated , bail stood and
the cases
were continued to February 22 for a pre-trial conference.
Outside the courtroom I told Abelson that we would be subpoening
DM to
testify at the Henson trial.Abelson responded that the church was
concerned
about my vodka drinking.
Abelson: You do drink vodka don't you? I remember from our dinner
together some years ago.
Berry: And I also drink scotch, white wine , red wine and
whatever else might be appropiate for the occasion.
Abelson: Well Graham, we are very concerned about your safety.
Wouldn't it be terrible if you were to have an accident, after
you had been
drinking vodka?
Berry: I deliberately maintain such a high profile to discourage
accidents.
I distinctly sensed that Abelsons remarks were intended for
"handler " Howie Guttfeld. Later, Howie got behind the
wheel of the royal blue
1998 B.M.W. 740 (?) IL and drove Elliott out of there.
ARS had its' participient (s) there with whom I spoke at length
before moving on to hear more of the cults' current DA campaign
against me. It
is obvious that it has seriously damaged the attempts of Applied
Scholastics to
introduce L.Ron Hubbards' texts into the LA Unified School
District. I can
hardly describe the collective outrage over Eugene Ingram going
to the head of
security of the entire school district and urging an
investigation and public
warning of my proclivities and presence on school premises. My
retort was that
the investigation would reveal both of Ingrams' allegations to be
totally
false and defamatory.
The DA Paks all accuse me of being a child molester who is using
charitable activity to molest school children and misappropiate
charitable
funds being raised.Not only are both allegations totally without
foundation but
School District officials have expressed their outrage over
Ingrams' suggestions that any outsider, me included, would have
access to School
District funds.
Not only do the DA PAks " enturbulate " the School
District at the
worst possible moment for scientology and its' current
dissemination push, but
their provision to members of the California legislature almost
guarantees an
investigation into the activities of scientology,as opposed to
its' first
amendment protected beliefs.
Abelson: What religion are you Graham? Not that it is any of my
business.
Berry: I don't mind telling you. I am Episcopalian.
Abelson: A perfectly respectable religion that does not upset too
many people, except maybe, the Pope.
Berry: At least they are not trying to take over the world and
clear the planet.
Abelson: Are you suggesting that those are seperate goals?
Berry: Absolutely not. If scientology clears the planet it will
rule the world. To scientology, clearing the planet means ruling
it according
to the " technology" of L. Ron Hubbard. A world without
crime means a world
without opponents , and critics of , scientology. Scientologists
are the most
ethical people in the world because they will do what ever is
necessary to
enable scientology to clear the planet and to rule the world.
They are the very
same thing Treason. The same thing that led to the F.B.I. 's 1977
raids upon
the church of scientology.
Abelson: I'll give your regards to Sam Rosen.
Berry: Don't {he's just like all the other scientology lawyers}.
Abelson: I didn't think you would consider consolidating the
cases. But then again, you are a good lawyer.
Berry: {To himself} But when your counsel took my deposition in
Abelson v. Greene you said I made an even better witness than I
did lawyer!
What gives here?
Abelson: Are you happy at Musick, Peeler & Garreet?
Berry: Very much so.
Abelson:I had a case against them many years ago. I thought they
were very good and gentlemanly.
Berry: I totally agree.
Abelson: You would like to be able to stay there wouldn't you?
Berry: Of course.
Abelson: Graham, I have to make a phone call.Bye.
Berry: { to himself} Sure, to report into DM who will really
chew you and Rinder out for allowing the Henson case to begin
escalating to an
international cause celebe' and first amendment fight.
