Blowing the lid off the problem with Clearwater

Hallo Markus:

Grüße aus dem Wack!

Someone just sent me to a couple of comments you made last December on Mike Rinder’s blog. You were responding to one of his articles that criticized the Scientologists comparing Leah Remini and the Aftermath production to the lie-spreading and discrimination-fomenting of the German Nazis in the 1930’s.  https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-and-nazi-germany/

Here are your first comment, Rinder’s reply to you, and your second comment:

Mike, I have serious problems with the Nazi topic.

More than one time I have asked you, Debbie Cook or Tom De Vocht to expose how the COS and OSA infiltrated the Clearwater GOV and the CW Police Department.
Thus resulted in an environment today where in a US City a Police is unable to investigate in Suicide or Homicide cases without having OSA Sara Heller among them.
There are numerous death cases starting from Lisa MC Person until today.

Many of them are not professional investigated or turned down by the Church.

I personally think, that is EXACTLY the same situation that Adolf Hitler and the SA had, before they came to power in 1933. A situation where they are ABOVE the law.
You yourself have orchestrated that. Tom had, Debbie had, Peter Mansell and many others before him had too.

Only to name the case of Kyle Brennan, OT 8 Biggi Reichert, Michael Bamme or OT 5 Evgheni Zharkin and you know what, only a couple of weeks ago the third German, Sea Org Member Sabine L. came from Flag, stayed a couple of days at the exact same village where Biggi Reichert had her last days at OT 8` Gloria XX. and tried to commit suicide by cutting her veins.

I personally think that as long as this happens again and again, without having a working law system in a Florida City with the name of Clearwater, it is only cheap to broadcast about people who have been financially ruined by a cult that they want to go to.

It is even more in the behavior of people of the Nazi regime to silence, to NOT Speak or to hide instead of exposing how the “church” reached that status.

Sorry those you think can confirm your belief are unable to help you. You seem to think the Clearwater Police are like the German police under Hitler and the SA? Sorry, that comparison is not much better than scientology’s. The problem in the US is the legal system and the preponderance of laws protecting organizations deemed religious. Remember, the FL STate’s Attorney and the CWPD/FDLE DID bring charges against scientology. The FBI did conduct an extensive investigation. It’s not someone influencing/threatening people in law enforcement that is the reason no prosecutions are successful. Believe me, I am pushing as hard as anyone can to solve this. You really believe that if I had information that would blow the lid off some conspiracy to obstruct justice that I would not have a) Told the FBI or b) shown it on The Aftermath or c) Failing that included it on my blog?

Tom, Debbie, me or anyone else don’t have information that fits your assumptions because that information does not exist.

Mike, sorry that is hard to believe.

First of all, I don`t think there is something that should be compared to Hitler and the Nazis. Maybe ISIS.

During the amateurish investigations of the suicide/homicide cases in CW, at any time Sarah Heller and Peter Mansell for the last years where involved. Also it is for sure and proved that many of the CW police are working off duty on paycheck for the church. Detective Steven Bowling, who was in charge of the case of Kyle Brennan that was maybe the most annoying and amateurish done police investigation on a death case I ever heard about, was working off duty for the cos. None of the police officers I spoke to in 7 years of visiting CW would say something about what they know openly because they live there and do not want to have problems.

Do you think that is the way a jurisdiction unit should work?

As for your excuse that you all don’t know nothing about it: I also doubt that. First of all, if something like that is happening at FLAG OSA gets informed as the weekly OSA report says and we all know. It’s in the police documents that remedially they call OSA legal.

Now what will OSA do?

You know it. They will inform the FLAG leading structure and of course the headquarter.

So that least that is easy to see and to prove. Former police officer Ray Emmonds who died recently told me that if a Scientologist was found dead from a foreign country at CW, its body would be sticked in a plastic bag and being shipped back to its country. No real investigation took place.

Klaus Buechele who was your Deputy told me personally (among two witnesses in a restaurant Hubbard used to visit near CW) the same.

As for the FBI. I visited the FBI at Clearwater in 2014 and gave them documents and many information about the Biggi Reichert Case, about two other cases. None of them meant anything to them. They didn’t even know. They told me what they would have done, if the info I gave to them would have been given to them by either the CW police or the German Police ( reg. Biggi) at the time of the event.

As for the Brennan Case, the Zarkhin Case and the Michael Damme Case, all documents and interviews with people involved also proved, that the police did a lousy investigation just to get the folder closed.

The Brennan case would go even so far, that it whitewashed Denise Miscavige and her fellows from anything they had to do with it.

So in other words: If your son one day would be found dead at flag Mike, trust me you will not get any justice and you will also don`t see any proper investigation at all. And that is happening on US soil.

There are some additional things to consider regarding Rinder’s reply above to you and related matters.

Your challenge to him, it seems to me, is that (1) Rinder had a part in the orchestration of the situation or environment in Clearwater in which Scientologists appear to be above the law and Scientology suicide or homicide cases go uninvestigated or are botched; (2) you have previously asked Rinder to tell what he knows about all this; (3) he has refused over some years to do so; and (4) it is grimly reminiscent of people of the Nazi regime to silence others, to not speak up, or to hide, instead of exposing how the Scientologists reached the power or status they have in Clearwater.

I think you have legitimately challenged Rinder, and it is good that he be legitimately challenged. And I think he illegitimately discounts you and your challenge to him.

His intention, it is quite obvious, is to continue not telling what he knows. He had that same intention through all the years he was formally posted in OSA. He had that same intention when he was doing or making others do all the things he should now talk about in detail, the times, places, forms and events. To continue to get away with what he has gotten away with, he uses techniques he used while officially serving the Scientologists’ malign purposes.

His question to you about what you believe he would do if he had information that blew the lid off a conspiracy is in essence a scriptural “attack-the-attacker” handling. This is also known in scripture as a “double curve.” He is “handling” you with common Scientology “comm tech.”

He is also acting to “handle” other wogs who have, like you, observed, as I publicly have, that he has not told the truth about what he did and made others do to silence or destroy people while he was formally posted in OSA. Inherent in his “handling” is the assertion that if he had information that would blow the lid off some conspiracy to obstruct justice he would have told the FBI, or shown it on the Aftermath or included it on his blog.

His question to you about your belief is a logical fallacy called “appeal to ridicule.” He holds your legitimate challenge to him – or actually what he says you said — up to ridicule. He implies that your challenge is so ridiculous it only deserves ridicule. His PR assets go along with ridiculing his legitimate challengers. They do the same with me.

Rinder’s statement to you (which was made famous by your DMCA conflict with me) that I am “seeing things at this point” and I am “kind of a … kind of a … a bit of a fruitcake frankly,” is an appeal to ridicule.

His statement is also another fallacy called “poisoning the well.” This is where a person (Rinder) presents adverse and often irrelevant information (seeing things, fruitcake) about someone (me) to an audience (you) with the intention of pre-emptively discrediting everything that the victim of his poison (I) might say. Rinder and his assets have poisoned millions of wells over more than three decades just to pre-emptively discredit me. Poisoning wells is a standard Scientology religious sacrament that Scientologists drill and perform around the world.

Since what you actually said in your comment, Markus, is not what Rinder is ridiculing, he is also employing a “straw man fallacy,” ein Strohmann-Argument. He is ridiculing a straw man, which is also standard Scientology “comm tech” for handling or ridiculing, bullying or black PRing “critics” or challengers.

Rinder also uses a device that the formally posted Miscavige regimers use extensively called “Ignore Tech.” This is another common Scientology practice and policy for “degrading” legitimate challengers who present legitimate challenges. (These are different from illegitimate challengers presenting illegitimate challenges, which are yet another Scientology policy and practice.)

Employing ignore tech, the Scientologists postulate, as Rinder models, that the persons presenting legitimate challenges are so far beneath them, so devoid of any value, so inhuman, so bestial, the challengers can just be totally ignored. By pretending he has reduced a legitimate challenger’s image to beast level, Rinder can also get away with pretending that ignoring his challenger is justified. The more assets he can get to ignore a legitimate challenger, the more seemingly solid is Rinder’s pretense. From what you’ve said, it is apparent that he has been running ignore tech on you for some time.

Ignore tech and all sorts of semantic bullying techniques like strawmen and ridicule are weapons in the Scientologists’ arsenal for dealing with or “shattering” Suppressive Persons. The whole Scientology arsenal, however, right up to utter obliteration, comes out of the diabolic idea that the enemy, the SP is a beast, irredeemably evil, beyond reason, and therefore deserving of being ripped off, injured, tricked, sued, lied to or destroyed. After identifying their intended victim as a beast, the Scientologists go about degrading his or her image to beast level, so that everyone else, Scientologists and wogs, get that their victim is a beast deserving what beasts deserve.

While teaching that SPs deserve anything evil imaginable, the Scientologists also teach that SPs do not deserve even a word or a speck of credence. That is, SPs must not be given any trust, any belief, any acceptance, any kind word. You know Scientology Policy Directive 28 “Suppressive Act – Dealing with a Declared Suppressive Person:”

To maintain a line with, offer support to, or in any way grant credence to such a person indicates nothing more than agreement with that person’s destructive intentions and acts. Such dealings in fact act as a covert or overt attempt to undermine and negate the ethics and justice strengths of our ecclesiastical structure.1

Not in any way granting credence to someone is the essence of ignore tech. The persons Rinder applies this “tech” to are legitimate challengers bearing legitimate challenges. That is an equally apt description of the set of persons comprising the SPs, the persons Scientologists are prohibited from granting any credence to. SPs are commonly persons who simply tell the truth about their experiences with and knowledge of Hubbard, Scientology and Scientologists. Telling the truth about these things is the basic legitimate challenge to the Scientologists and their colluders, like Rinder.

The ignore tech he has been running on me is epic. He runs it and has run it for years. He runs ignore tech despite the fact that for decades he didn’t ignore me at all but actively pursued and attacked me. He spent millions and hired a horde of antisocial characters to silence or destroy me. He has a horde of assets now, including “celebrities,” who validate his ignoring me and my legitimate challenges. His ignore-teching me is particularly poignant because I am his most gargantuan fair game victim. The ignore tech he is running on me is made doubly archetypal because I am also the person most obviously, persistently and patiently legitimately challenging him.

I have written reams presenting legitimate challenge after legitimate challenge to Rinder. I have communicated these challenges correctly, politely and understandably. The more he ignores legitimate challenges, the more reasons there are to legitimately challenge him. I have made a significant public record of his treatment of me over many years.2

I know very little of what Rinder did or had done in Clearwater during his years formally posted in OSA. I know a great deal, however, about what he did and made others do to silence or destroy me. I know a lot about what he did and made others do to silence or destroy the class of persons acting in concert with me, and similarly placed persons in the Suppressive Person religious class. I know about crimes he committed and had committed against me and other wogs, which led to the nazi-esque situation or condition you observe in Clearwater and elsewhere.

What Rinder is doing with you regarding his knowledge of what he did and had done in Clearwater is very similar to the way he “handled” me in his “Loyalist Operation” conspiracy in the 1980’s. He ran OSA in the US at that time, and was responsible, under cult head Miscavige for the op. The major targets were to criminally entrap me and ultimately criminally frame me.

He and his co-conspirators, who called themselves the “Loyalists,” contacted me in 1984 with claims that they were “reformers” who wanted to “reform” their cult and wanted my help. This was a step in what is called the “Armstrong Operation,” which the Scientologists initiated as soon as I left the cult. The Armstrong Op’s goal is my obliteration. 3

The “Loyalists” knew, they said, that the cult’s leaders were criminal. This was no surprise, because I already knew it in spades. So did relevant agencies and officials in the US Federal Government, so did courts, and so did pretty well everyone else. The “Loyalists” claimed they wanted to end the Miscavige regime’s lies, abuses and criminality, and have Miscavige, the criminal usurper of all things wise and wonderful, criminally prosecuted. Rinder and his co-conspirators claimed to be dedicated to opposing, exposing and reforming the cult. They claimed they wanted my help because I had just prevailed in court against the criminal Scientology leadership and had integrity.4

Rinder and his co-conspirators in their Loyalist Operation in 1984 claimed that they formed a new and effective opposition to the Miscavige regime, and, because of their knowledge of cult activities, they were poised to take down the regime in its then present form. When Rinder and his co-conspirators were making their clandestine and illegal videos of me meeting with him, however, he made a big production for the video of insisting that the “Loyalists” had no evidence of anything illegal being done. He was, of course, lying. He had all kinds of evidence of illegalities. And he was serving the Miscavigeites’ criminal purposes.

From my February 22, 1994 declaration:

Rinder, who had been represented to me as the Loyalists’ “best legal mind” couldn’t seem to get the distinction between allegations and proof in the complaint, and I was frustrated in our conversation because he seemed so dense. Now, of course, his denseness is fully understandable. He had to appear stupid and had to deny that there was any “proof” of the sort of allegations that would be made in a complaint because he knew he was being recorded on a videotape which was going to be used to attack, and if possible destroy me. Even what the organization has done to me alone (see, e.g., crimes listed by Judge Breckenridge and the list in paragraph 7 above) is enough for actual true-hearted reformers to bring a lawsuit to take control of the organization from the criminals now in charge. (Emphasis mine)

What Rinder is now doing is so like his first “Loyalist Op” (“Loyalist Op-1”) that his present agenda is known as “Loyalist Op Redux” or “Loyalist Op-2.” He and his current witting or unwitting PR assets again publicly portray Miscavige as a sociopath and a criminal. They again portray Rinder as the person poised with all the insider knowledge, the evidence and the legal acumen to take Miscavige and his regime down, and end the criminality. Rinder’s human assets present him as a leader of the “opposition” to Scientology, and they oppose persons like me, who legitimately challenge him or present legitimate challenges to his getting away with all the crimes and other evils he’s gotten away with.

Rinder proclaims himself, and is being proclaimed, as the preeminent challenger presenting the preeminent challenge now to the Miscavige regime. In reality, Rinder is willfully not doing what really could and should be done and really would challenge the conspirators running Scientology.

He titles his blog “Something Can Be Done About it,” which is a Hubbardian meme that means, in this context, doing precisely what he claimed he and his fellow Loyalists were doing about Scientology in 1984: ending the Miscavige regime’s lies, abuses and criminality. Yet he has studiously not done what really can be done about those evils.

While portraying themselves in their Aftermath series as dedicated to ending the Miscavige regime’s lies, abuses and criminality, and while getting all sorts of hopes up for truth and justice, Rinder and Leah Remini have communicated essentially that nothing can be done. Because of their positioning as the preeminent challengers to the Miscavige regime, their conclusion that nothing can be done about it is made to sound authoritative and definitive.

You brought up serious Clearwater issues, Markus: Scientology-related deaths, OSA interference with criminal investigations, the Scientologists being nazi-like above the law, and Rinder not telling what he knows. In answer, he writes: “The problem in the US is the legal system and the preponderance of laws protecting organizations deemed religious.” He is lying.

“The problem,” the thing or reason that prevents what should be done from being done about the Miscavige regime’s lies, abuses and criminality, in Clearwater or anywhere else in the US, is not the legal system or the laws that protect religious organizations. It is the Scientologists’ violations of existing US laws and the relevant law enforcers’ refusal to do anything about those violations of the law that is the problem. Rinder is blaming the law because the law-breakers get away with breaking it. By doing so, he is actually helping the law-breakers get away with it.

By blaming the failure to do anything effective about the Miscavige regime’s lies, abuses and criminality on the legal system and its laws, Rinder also generates an excuse for his refusal to tell what he knows. When he says it’s not someone influencing or threatening people in law enforcement that is the reason no prosecutions are successful, he knows this is untrue. The influence on local law enforcement is from above as well as from below. The threat is pervasive, and Rinder knows it. In fact he provided a glimpse of the threat’s extent on the Aftermath when he said about the Scientologists and their colluders’ criminal activities, “My God, they’ll do anything!” Anything includes murder. The colluders go much higher than the Clearwater Government or Police Department, and the colluders go profoundly low.

I am sure you saw the February 2, 2019 video of Clearwater Police Chief Daniel Slaughter responding to the Aftermath episode about his city.5

Slaughter says:

Being a recognized religious entity by the federal government, Scientology is entitled to contract for the same services as any other religious organization or business. The Police Department does not have the ability to stop providing extra-duty services to one religious organization without denying the same service to all federally recognized religious entities.

Slaughter was publicly acknowledging that to a noteworthy extent his department deferred to the US Federal Government for its treatment of the Scientologists. This was the Clearwater PD’s de facto position ever since the US Government granted tax exemption to the Scientologists in 1993. There is no doubt that influence is coming from the federal officials and agencies that granted the tax exemption, and thereafter have defended that decision, and defended, promoted or used Scientology and the Scientologists for the Federal Government’s purposes. The US Federal Government has a colossal interest in the Scientologists getting away with all sorts of crimes, human rights violations or other evils so as to not put in jeopardy the unlawful grant of tax exemption.

There is no doubt that the relevant federal officials dealing with the Scientologists in the effort to gain tax exemption and become a federally recognized religious entity knew that the Scientologists were continuously and seriously violating public policy. These federal officials knew that the Scientologists – the Miscavige regime, which included Rinder — were criminally framing legitimate challengers. These federal officials knew that such challengers were simply citizens who spoke up about the Scientologists’ lies, abuses and criminality. These officials knew that citizens doing just that, speaking up about lies, abuses and criminality, were essential for justice, for peace and for sane government. These officials knew that the Miscavige Scientologists were violating federal and state civil rights statutes.

These officials knew that in the Scientologists’ statements to relevant federal agencies, including to the IRS, the Scientologists were lying. The Scientologists were lying about their criminal and public policy-violating activities. Nevertheless, these officials ignored the Scientologists’ crimes and other public policy-violating activities that these officials knew about. These officials ignored the public policy violations they knew the Scientologists were committing, which, if not ignored, would compel the refusal of tax exemption. These officials ignored the Scientologists’ public policy violations for the specific purpose of granting tax exemption, and the attendant federal religious recognition, which these officials knew were lawfully undeserved.

Worse, it is now clear that these officials actually required that the Scientologists lie in their submissions to the IRS on which the tax exemption is based. It is also clear that the relevant US Federal officials did so in order to trump up a plausible justification for the granting of tax exemption and federal religious recognition, which these officials knew the Scientologists did not deserve. I explained this in the introduction to the Armstrong Operation, which neither the ignore tech-applying Scientologists nor Federal Government officials have refuted. 6

Contrary to what Rinder would have you believe, it is not the law that permits the grant of tax exemption and federal religious recognition to deserving religious entities that is, “the problem.” The problem is not whatever laws direct police departments like Clearwater to treat all federally recognized religious entities equally. Nor is the problem the laws on which Chief Slaughter depends to assert that all federally recognized religious entities can contract for the same services and receive the same services. The problem is created when a legally undeserving entity is given tax exemption and declared a federally recognized religious entity. That is a violation of law, not a problem with the law.

An undeserving entity can obtain these undeserved benefits and religious recognition by fraud, which is itself illegal. The Scientologists had been trying by fraud and related bullying tactics for many years to obtain tax exemption and federal religious recognition. Throughout those years the relevant US officials did not permit the Scientologists to defraud them or defraud the US.

The problem of a legally undeserving entity receiving tax exemption and federal religious recognition is compounded in the Scientology case by the relevant US officials colluding with the Scientologists. This collusion was in violation of US laws for a legally impermissible purpose. The problem is the fakes in the henhouses, including the US Federal fakes in the government’s henhouses. The relevant federal officials faked being defrauded. In fact, these faker officials got rid of any officials who would not fake it. Then the faker officials required that the Scientologists tell lies these officials considered necessary to generate the appearance of merely being defrauded, and cloak the collusion.

There is no way that the involved federal officials could have been “rogues” outside of the Federal Authorities, and outside the Deep State. There is no way that “rogue agents” cooked up and got away with all the colluding done with the Scientologists. Federal authorities knew Scientologists’ long history of criminal and antisocial activities, including crimes against the US and US citizens. These authorities knew the Scientologists’ history could not legally be ignored. These authorities were very aware of the Scientologists’ intelligence proclivities, abilities and activities. These knowledgeable authorities had to be from elements of the US Intelligence Community.

The relevant US officials could not have conspired to break US laws, or have permitted, let alone required themselves and all US citizens to be defrauded, without all relevant elements of the USIC agreeing to this strategy and program. Without USIC approval and direction, the relevant US officials could not have permitted, let alone licensed the Scientologists to criminally victimize US citizens already being criminally victimized.

It is well known, certainly by USIC officials, that at its core and in operation Scientology is an intelligence entity. The Miscavige regimers control their witting, unwitting, willing and unwilling assets the same way other intelligence entities control their assets: contracts, money, threats, extortion, blackmail, lawfare, gags, assaults, death. It is clear to me that the USIC made Scientology and Scientologists USIC assets for the USIC’s purposes. It also clear to me that the USIC did so knowingly to the detriment of US citizens and people around the world.

Importantly for your beef with Rinder, you probably noticed a year ago when he publicly admitted or claimed that he “attended numerous meetings at the IRS during the exemption process and [he] oversaw the collection and preparation of all the documents presented to the IRS.” I’ve also mentioned this a number of times; e.g.,

If he is telling the truth about what he oversaw and what was presented to the IRS, these are the documents on which the tax exemption and federal religious recognition were granted. If Rinder now told the truth about the lies in his submissions for the Scientologists to the IRS, he would blow the lid off those unlawful grants.

I am not implying that the lid cannot be blown off the US Government’s grants of tax exemption and religious recognition without Rinder’s participation in the effort to blow that lid off. Even if Rinder keeps doing what he’s been doing to covertly and overtly keep the Scientologists’ tax exemption and federal religious recognition working, the lid can still be blown off those unlawful grants. I am doing my part for that cause.

If he told the truth about the lies the Scientologists told and the crimes they committed to get their undeserved and unlawful tax exemption and federal religious recognition, he would blow the lid off the Clearwater Government and the Clearwater Police Department’s favoritism and special protections for the Scientologists.

“To blow the lid off,” as Rinder is using the idiom, is “to expose something to the public, often something scandalous or deceptive.” Not blowing the lid off, not exposing the scandalous, deceptive or criminal things he knows about, is his obvious policy and practice. His refusal all these years to blow the lid off what he can easily blow it off, while pretending he was blowing the lid off the scandals, deceptions and criminal things he knows about, is scandalous, deceptive, and criminal.

A lot of the “exposing” or lid-blowing Rinder’s PR assets are crediting him with is actually material, facts or knowledge that had been exposed, had the lid blown off them decades ago. What he has carefully not blown the lid off, not exposed, not told the truth about, is what he did and had others do that was scandalous, deceptive and criminal. I am also doing my part to expose what I experienced or know about these things, including exposing his refusal to tell the truth.

If he told the simple truth about what he did and had done to his wog victims he would be blowing the lid off our religious persecution. The key US Federal criminal statutes the Scientologists are violating, I have no doubt, are 18 USC § 241 “Conspiracy against Rights,” and § 242, “Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law.” If Rinder told the truth, just what he experienced or knows about his conspiracy and his co-conspirators, he would be blowing the lid off that conspiracy. He would be exposing to the public his conspiracy’s criminal purposes and actions.

In Loyalist Op-2, Rinder is essentially claiming he has no evidence of wrongdoing, or he is at least acting as if he has no such evidence. Otherwise, the narrative goes, he would do something about it, he would expose it or blow the lid off it. I mentioned above that he had run the same lie on me in his 1984 Loyalist Op-1. I commented to Rinder then, and put in my declaration quoted above, that just what the Scientologists had done to me was enough to prove criminality. What the Scientologists had done to me in the less than three years I’d been a wog was enough for actual true-hearted persons, which the Loyalists claimed to be, to take control and end the criminality. Now in Loyalist Op-2, thirty-five years later, still just what Rinder has done to me and had others do to me is enough to blow the lid off the Scientologists’ criminal conspiracy.

Will Rinder murder to protect his crimes and protect Scientology’s unlawful and unlawfully acquired tax exemption and federal religious recognition? If he does not tell the truth about what he and his co-conspirators have done to silence or destroy wogs, to conspire against our rights, and to acquire tax exemption and religious recognition, it should be understood that, as he boasts, he will do anything.

Will Miscavige murder to keep his unlawful and unlawfully obtained tax exemption and federal religious recognition, to keep his crimes and his leadership of the Scientologists’ criminal conspiracy from having the lid blown off them? Will Miscavige murder out of infantile psychopathic revenge because his crimes are even now having the lid blown off them? Until he tells the truth about what he and his co-conspirators have done to silence or destroy wogs, to conspire against our rights, and to unlawfully acquire undeserved tax exemption and religious recognition, it should be understood that he will do anything.

Will the relevant officials in the US Intelligence Community murder, or have others murder us, to keep the illicit, collusive relationship with the Scientology conspirators from having its lid blown off? Until the USIC walks back its decision to collude with the Scientologists, including by denouncing the collusion and the colluders, and by recognizing, reaching out to and helping the Scientologists’ wog victims, it should be accepted that they, just like their Scientologist co-colluders, will do anything.

Notes

Doing something about the Aftermath

Leah Remini and Mike Rinder ended their series season finale with them together in New York about to meet attorneys to discuss Scientology. Remini indicated they’re consulting attorneys because she “can’t let the church continue to abuse people and take their money and their lives.” She mentioned her determination that the Scientologists not “get away with shit.” The “shit” obviously is the abuse, fraud, extortion and other torts and crimes the Scientologists commit. Rinder said he hoped the meeting gave them “a path forward to be able to take action… what to do now.”

The pre-attorney meeting scene or scenes and the contrived mystery and suspense reminded me of a meeting with an attorney that Rinder’s Loyalist Op arranged for me in 1984. Mark Rathbun ran the op for David Miscavige and L. Ron Hubbard, and Rinder was assigned to pretend to be my personal friend. He was so anxious for my friendship that the Loyalists claimed he was risking being murdered by the criminal Miscavige cabal by meeting me, and we had to meet in secret.

In 1985 at the Julie Christofferson v. Scientology trial in Portland, Oregon, the Scientologists revealed their op, in order to be able to use its poison fruits.1 They still use their poison fruits and have poisoned people around the world. So do Rathbun and Rinder; even in their Memoirs of a Scientology Warrior. Following is a brief description of the operation from a declaration I wrote in November 1985 for one of the many cases where the Scientologists filed false claims and documents relating to the Loyalist Op, which they called the “Armstrong Op.”

  1. In order to compromise my effectiveness as a witness and undo the Breckenridge judgment, Scientology created the “Armstrong Operation.” It was a Scientology setup from the start. I was contacted in June of 1984 by an old friend of mine who told me that a group of individuals called the “Loyalists” were seeking to reform the organization, and end the criminal and tortious activities and the Fair Game doctrine. My friend said the “Loyalists” had existed for two years, they had people on staff in the organization and many others who supported their cause. The “Loyalists” wanted my help because I had contacts among other individuals who opposed the organization’s practices, and because I had been successful in litigating against the organization. They wanted me to act as their consultant.
  2. I had several meetings with representatives of the “Loyalists” and was even taken to meet an attorney who they said was going to file a lawsuit on their behalf to oust what they called the “criminal management” of Scientology. Unknown to me, these meetings were covertly and illegally videotaped. The entire operation was a setup. The “Loyalists” had no intention of ending the organization’s illegal activities and were not planning to file a lawsuit. They were a fictional creation to make it look like I was conspiring to overthrow Scientology.
  3. The videotapes do not reveal all of my conversations with the “Loyalists.” Scientology has chosen those parts which it feels are most beneficial to them. Even the videotapes they do use do not show what Scientology claims. They simply reveal conversations about ideas proposed by the “Loyalists” for their use in their struggle. Of course, since the “Loyalists” never really existed, nothing was ever carried out. In any event, the wild claims Scientology makes, that I conspired to plant false documents, steal privileged information, and set up some sort of sexual blackmail situation, are ridiculous. Judge Londer, in the case of Christofferson v. Scientology, et al, in Portland, Oregon recognized that the tapes do not say what the organization says they say. He stated, immediately after viewing the tapes on April 4, 1985:
    “I think they are devastating. I think they are devastating against the Church. We certainly view them in a different way, Mr. Cooley, you and I.”… “it borders more on entrapment than it does on anything else. How a sophisticated person, which Mr. Armstrong purports to be, could go for such an amateurish performance as I heard on these tapes is beyond me. The questions were being fed to him obviously; anytime he wanted to make an explanation, it was promptly cut off. There was no evidence of any attempt to commit a crime that I saw.”
    In fact, on the tapes themselves, in response to a suggestion by one of the “Loyalists”, an operative named Mike Rinder,2 that false documents be created, I reply, “I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.”
  4. Despite Scientology allegations to the contrary, I was not acting as an agent of Michael Flynn, or various government agencies when I met with the “Loyalists.” I simply was responding to the “Loyalists’” request for help from me, and I accepted their offer to help me out. They actively encouraged me to request all sorts of things, claiming they could get whatever I needed. Any requests I sent them I originated on my own. Neither Michael Flynn nor the federal government asked me to obtain any documents or information for them from the “Loyalists.” In fact, Michael Flynn cautioned me that the “Loyalists” might be an operation created by Hubbard.
  5. Under California law, an individual cannot be videotaped without his consent. Scientology, at the Christofferson trial, claimed that a private investigator hired by them, Eugene Ingram, (who had been kicked off the Los Angeles police force for various offenses) obtained an authorization to secretly tape me from a police officer. In an official statement released by the Los Angeles Police Department, however, LAPD Chief Daryl Gates stated that the  officer had no authorization, and that it would be “a cold day in hell” before the Los Angeles Police Department cooperated with Eugene Ingram. A copy of this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit [A]. I have learned from Commander Booth of the LAPD that the officer involved, Phillip Rodriguez, was suspended for six months due to his improper “authorization.”
  6. If this court has any doubts about this entire illegal affair, I urge it to view the tapes themselves. They will plainly show that the Scientology charges are ridiculous and grossly inflated. It will also prove to the court that Scientology engages in precisely the types of covert criminal and tortious operations in violation of individuals’ rights which its critics have alleged it has committed for years.

The attorney that Rinder’s Loyalists said was going to file a lawsuit on their behalf to oust what they called the “criminal management” of Scientology was a Thomas Janeway in Encino, California. I’ve mentioned him a number of times over the past many years in different declarations or other writings.

In March 2015, I contacted Janeway for the first time since he participated in the Scientologists’ op against me. We spoke by phone, and I then emailed him:

Dear Mr. Janeway:

Thank you for talking with me today. I had this information for you from 1984:

15910 Ventura Blvd
Encino
818-995-1900

Please see this section of a declaration I executed April 9, 1986 regarding discovery I was seeking from the Scientologists:

At page 4070, the Court ordered the production of all documents omitted from my B-1 files, including all documents up to date; i.e., April 4, 1985, and attorneys for defendant organization (the same organization as plaintiff and cross-defendant in the instant case) agreed to produce all such documents.

These documents, however, were never produced. They include up to April 1985 at least the following:

[…]

The records, reports, orders, correspondence, documents and audio and video recordings of a meeting, arranged by organization agents posing as “reformers,” between an attorney Thomas Janeway and me in November 1984 in Encino, California. Janeway pretended to be working for these “reformers” and attempted to entrap and compromise me.

In a complaint report I made to the DOJ in 2004, I wrote:

Kluge also took me to a meeting with a woman he identified as “Rene,” a “rich Scientologist who had been abused by the organization and who might back the “Loyalists” financially,” and a meeting with an “attorney” “named” “Thomas Janeway.” http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50k/legal/a8/3376.php

The people I knew of who were involved with bringing me to meet with you and debrief to you were David Kluge, aka “Joey,” Dan Sherman and Mike Rinder. Also involved, and running this covert operation, were Brad Balentine, Mark Rathbun and David Miscavige. Another key person was a PI Eugene M. Ingram. At the time of the meeting with you in 1984, I did not know Kluge’s real name.

The relevance of this 1984 meeting with you at this point is its place in an ongoing campaign against me by the Scientologists to maintain their 1993 IRS tax exemption, which they obtained by unlawful means, notably by lying about me. Documents relating to this campaign are here:  http://armstrong-op.gerryarmstrong.ca/  If you are interested, this is a good place to start: http://armstrong-op.gerryarmstrong.ca/about

If you can shed any light on this meeting with you, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Gerry Armstrong
[address and telephone]

Janeway emailed me back:

Dear Mr. Armstrong,

In response to your phone call yesterday, and the email you sent, I can confirm that my office address in 1984 was 15910 Ventura Boulevard, Encino, CA and the office phone number was 818-995-1900.  I don’t recall meeting you 31 years ago, alone or with others, though it’s possible I did so.

The following information is based entirely upon my present recollection, and reference to my list of clients in the 1980s. With two exceptions, I don’t recognize or recall any of the names mentioned in your email message.  I have seen David Miscavige’s name mentioned in various news articles, but have never met or spoken to him.  I can confirm that Eugene M. Ingram was briefly a client in 1984 but, of course, there is a duty of confidentiality in connection with that representation which is protected by the attorney-client and work product privileges.  Since Mr. Ingram’s client file is now in dead storage, and not readily accessible, I haven’t reviewed the contents before replying to your email.  I don’t know anything about a discovery order or a subpoena duces tecum, referred to in your email, concerning Mr. Ingram’s office file or anything having to do with the Church of Scientology.  I think I would recall the circumstance if either of those eventualities occurred, even after 31 years.

Parenthetically, it seems to me that even if we had a meeting for some purpose in 1984 the gist and significance would be so remote in time and relevance to anything happening in connection with Scientology’s religious tax exemption the IRS would probably regard it as trivial and unimportant.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Sincerely,

Thomas Janeway

Ingram is a well-known lying thug the Rathbun and Rinder Scientologists paid millions to fair game their targets, the good people who told the truth about their criminal conspiracy against persons and rights. Ingram threatened to put a bullet between my eyes. In addition to conspiring with him to frame me, frame my attorney, illegally wiretap my attorney and me, and illegally videotape me, Rathbun, Rinder, et al. paid him to spread the false rumor that I have AIDS. Here is more related information from my 2004 complaint to the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division:

  1. After I returned to the U.S., Sherman and Kluge reestablished contact with me, and we met a number of times over the next five months. In late July 1984, Scientology commenced a media and legal attack on Michael Flynn falsely accusing him of masterminding a plot to cash a forged check for $2,000,000.00 on one of Hubbard’s bank accounts. Sherman and Kluge communicated that the “Loyalists” knew that it was a frame-up and that organization leaders were behind it, and the “Loyalists” were working to prove it was a frame-up. I was certain Flynn was innocent, and of course he was my attorney and friend, so I was grateful for the “Loyalists’” help in clearing his name, and I was willing to help them as I could.
  2. Over the next few months, the “Loyalists” sent me a number of messages via Sherman relating to the Flynn frame-up, including what they claimed was documentary evidence to be passed on to Flynn and the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boston who was investigating the case. Because of their claimed fear of being discovered by organization leaders and murdered, I met with “Loyalists” Kluge and Mike Rinder in “secret” prearranged locations in Griffith Park and a Los Angeles area cemetery. Kluge also took me to a meeting with a woman he identified as “Rene,” a “rich Scientologist who had been abused by the organization and who might back the “Loyalists” financially,” and a meeting with an “attorney” “named” “Thomas Janeway.” Kluge also attempted to get me to fly to Las Vegas to meet another “financial backer,” but on my attorney’s advice because of the risk I didn’t make the trip. Knowing what I now know, there is no doubt that each of these meetings was recorded, and was set up to entrap me.
  3. During this period, agents of the FBI who were involved in an investigation of the organization contacted me, and I met with them and discussed my Scientology experiences and knowledge. Justice Department attorneys who were litigating Scientology-related cases contacted me, and I communicated with them and provided them with declarations concerning my experiences and knowledge. Officers in the Ontario Provincial Police and the Clearwater, Florida Police Department who were investigating Scientology also contacted me, and I provided them with testimony about Hubbard, the organization and my experiences.
  4. A short time after my LA trial, agents in the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS in Los Angeles contacted me, and I met with them and provided them with whatever information I had concerning Hubbard and Scientology. The IRS obtained access to certain documents and audio recordings of MCCS legal strategy meetings that the Court Clerk had retained in my case, and which became the subject of the series of cases entitled U.S. v. Zolin. 3; 4

The purpose Rinder and his coconspirators gave for the meeting they arranged with Janeway was virtually identical to the purpose Remini and Rinder gave for their upcoming meeting with their attorney: to discuss a legal action that could lead to reforming the organization, and ending the criminal and tortious activities and Fair Game.

It is beyond argument that Rinder has been serving the Scientologists’ antisocial purposes while claiming to be reformed, and no longer possessing the Scientology mindset. This is what he was claiming when conning me in 1984. In truth he was serving the same antisocial purposes that forward the interests of the same antisocial people.

Because he serves the Scientologists’ purposes, it is entirely possible that an illusion of success, an illusion of reform can be achieved. Rinder has done nothing that invalidates the obvious possibility of a soft landing program. What the Scientologists do regarding their relationship with me is the real evidence of reform.

Rinder has done nothing that demonstrates that he has reformed, or even desires to reform or be reformed. His actions and inactions have been successful, both inside and seemingly outside the Miscavige sect, in keeping organizational, behavioral or spiritual reform from happening. It has not happened. The Suppressive Person doctrine is in force; indeed Rinder subscribes to and defends this doctrine. The IRS tax exemption is untouched. Unlawfully silencing people continues. Preventing people from leaving continues. Religious persecution continues. The same black propaganda continues.

My relationship with Rinder is the best opportunity to correct injustices, correct black propaganda, and bring about real reform, IF those things were really what he wanted. It is clear that so far, despite his PR, those things have never been what he wanted to do.

Remini said that for some reason she believes that she is the person to help to make it right. What needs to be made right are the same things that needed to be made right that the Scientologists taking me to talk to attorney Janeway in 1984 were saying needed to be made right: abusing people, taking their money and their lives, criminal and tortious activities and fair game.

It is often in the field and activity of litigation where the Scientologists’ fair game – that is their criminal conspiracy against persons and rights – is most effective. The Rinder, Rathbun, et al. conspiracy faked plaintiffs in 1984, and it is very possible they are manipulating Remini in 2017 to use fake parties.

Because Rinder and Rathbun, beyond argument, serve the purposes of the Scientologists she says she is opposing, she has already accepted fake allies, fake reformers and fake reformed consultants and witnesses. No matter how evil, painful, harmful, antisocial or cowardly it is, disconnection is a fake issue, a fake cause. Rinder and Rathbun know this.

The Scientologists love to be on both sides of any conflict, and most vitally on both sides of litigation. There are reasons to believe that the Scientologists have engineered friendly lawsuits, friendly appeals, and other unethical friendlinesses to unethically obtain  decisions and results that benefit Scientology and its conspirators against persons and rights.

Hubbard provided the scriptural justification:

There is a principle in Scientology called pan-determinism. This could be loosely defined as determining the activities of two or more sides in a game simultaneously. (PAB 84, May 15, 1956, “The Reason Why.”)

To the Scientologists, litigation is a game. It is true that US District Court Judge James Ideman castigated the Scientologists for “viewing litigation as war.” But the Scientologists view war as a game. For the Scientology conspirators like Rathbun and Rinder, persecuting, punishing and destroying good people has been a game.

The optimum condition for an organism seeking control is to become the opposition. The Scientology conspirators seek to control the opposition, control the narrative and control the future. That is the goal of the US Intelligence Community, and probably every intelligence community. They also have the same job Rinder has acknowledged he had for treatment or handling of opponents the Scientologists hadn’t been able to control: silence or destroy them.

Remini communicates that she does not get the connections and commonality of purpose and function between the Scientologists and their visible PI and attorney collaborators and key departments and agencies in the US Federal Government. On 20/20, she deplored the Scientologists’ IRS tax exemption, and said she’s “hoping there’ll be somebody with some balls who will do something about it.” Rinder and Rathbun, however, have demonstrated their continuing desire to keep the tax exemption in place. If this is not the case they would have told the truth about the unlawful way they obtained it; which, significantly, was by framing my attorney, framing me, filing false statements with the IRS, and conducting a massive, ongoing black propaganda campaign.5

Unless Remini is a knowing participant in a scam, she certainly has been manipulated to attack wrong targets and accept Rinder’s misinformation and lies — that he has reformed, that he is telling the truth, that he wants to correct injustices, that nothing can be done about it. Except, now, meet with attorneys.

She has admitted that she was duped by the Scientologists who were duping her. She has expressed a determination to get to the truth and not be duped again. I have no reason to believe that she is anything but sincere in her expressed intentions. I know that Rinder is not sincere in his. It is needful that she be given the facts and truth about Rinder, Rathbun, et al. so she can investigate what she is being told and not told, and she can make informed decisions in her relationships with them and with others.

My advice to Mike would be not to do it. If, hypothetically, I had a wife and child I would not endanger their futures and our family to do it.

If Gerry didn’t like that, I would completely understand. I would not, however, engage in an action that could threaten my family just because he is not satisfied with a “general” apology and wants “specific details that can stand up in a court of law.”

Honestly, I think that if Mike didn’t have a wife and child, then there *might* be some chance that Gerry would get what he wants. Given that Mike does have a wife and a small child, I think the probability of Gerry getting what he wants is precisely zero.

I understand that there are many people who, like Communicator IC, do not want Rinder to do what I have asked him to do, and even, like this poster, advise him not to do.

What I have consistently asked Rinder for is to tell the truth. What I have consistently, in many public communications, said I  wanted from Rinder is the truth.  I simply want him to tell the truth.

In psychopathic logic, I am supposed to stop wanting him to tell the truth because he won’t, or hasn’t, or refuses. That isn’t the way such wanting works. One doesn’t want peace in the world, and then stop wanting it because there isn’t peace. In the choice between war and peace, I choose peace. In the choice between Rinder telling the truth or not telling the truth, I want the truth.

Wanting him to tell the truth, as I do, can exist as a life choice and nothing is done about it. Like a million other choices perhaps we all have made over our lives. My wanting him to tell the truth only arose when he claimed to be doing so, and because I had real and legitimate reasons to want him to tell the truth. The Scientologists and their collaborators, clearly, do not want him to tell the truth.

I did act on what I wanted, of course, and he knew right after he started presenting as telling the truth that that was exactly how he could help me and so many other people. It was exactly what I was wanting from him. I did have a brief email exchange with him, which, because of recent events, I’ve assembled here: http://gerryarmstrong.ca/archives/1919 I have not bothered him at all with correspondence.

I have communicated things that have helped keep alive the issue of Rinder not telling the truth, which at this time is serious.This obviously has upset the people who want him to not tell the truth yet be seen as telling the truth. But it’s fake upset, and the efforts to keep Rinder from telling the truth, and bestow celebrity status on him for telling the truth are perverse and logically puerile.

Although I want Rinder to tell the truth, and have made this known to him, I have also accepted that he probably won’t. I have long ago accepted his decisions to hate me, make me his enemy, black PR me, and side with the people who want me dead. I’ve accepted that all the Scientologists and their collaborators in the world hate me, consider me an enemy, and would welcome my death.

Despite accepting that Rinder, unless he has a Damascus Road moment, is not going to tell the truth, there is still a need to get the fact known that he is not telling the truth. The same was true with Hubbard: he didn’t tell the truth but claimed to be telling the truth; he was not going to start telling the truth, but there was still a need to get the fact known that he is not telling the truth. Fraud should be exposed, and Rinder’s pretense of telling the truth should be exposed just as Hubbard’s should be.

The truth has to be told in a way that means or does something toward reconciliation and justice, so his telling the truth to his priest or psychiatrist or his pillow or his personal demon wouldn’t suffice. The truth to be told is his experiences with and knowledge of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology corporations, organizations, and affiliated entities, and their officers, agents, representatives, employees, volunteers, directors, successors, assigns and legal counsel. (This is the language of what Rinder, et al. sought to silence me about by their contract1

Rinder knows exactly who and what needs to have the truth told about them. It is very simple. Nobody wants Rinder to tell the truth about what he said in his auditing sessions, or about his dreams, or about his wins. The truth he must tell, if truth be told, is his experiences and knowledge of fair game, what was done to wogs in furtherance of the criminal conspiracy against persons and rights in which he was a key member for many years.

That criminal conspiracy still exists. Rinder still serves its criminal purposes. He can only stop serving its purposes by telling the truth about it. Otherwise, he will, until his death, serve that diabolical criminal conspiracy. Scientolomerta. And that will be his legacy. Except for his desire to keep serving this conspiracy and keep the conspiracy working, the choice, I would think would be obvious.

It is this conspiracy against persons and rights that needs to be taken down, not Scientology or the Church of Scientology or some named corporation.

Rinder admittedly has his reason or reasons for not telling the truth. He had ample reasons for more than twenty years, he says, as Miscavige’s Fair Game IC. As I said, he knows what the truth is that he has reasons to not tell. This could be described as criminal and depraved actions planned or taken against members of the SP class, black propaganda, which is also depraved, and ongoing injustices and fraud. That is a huge and understandable, but completely unacceptable, reason not to tell the truth about it.

That is also the reason Communicator IC gives for advising Rinder to not tell the truth. What he should tell the truth about is so criminal, so depraved, so unjust and involves so much criminal fraud, in Communicator IC’s reasoning, he shouldn’t tell the truth about it. The details of Rinder’s fair gaming good people for Scientology — for pay, for prestige, which still serves him, and for fun and for joy, because he had to have been uptone about it all those years — are so criminal, so depraved, and so unjust and the fraud he promoted and defended with fair game so noxious, that telling truth about them would threaten his family, so Communicator IC says.

Obviously, what it will take for Rinder to tell the truth — even if the contemplation of the shame of it all is crushing, even if it might open him up to liability for his actions to someone, even if he is honoring a contract to not tell the truth and his coconspirators might murder him, even if he’s still on Miscavige’s payroll, and even if he hates me beyond human endurance — is courage. He should be encouraged to tell the truth and advised to be courageous, rather than encouraged to be cowardly, and provided spurious justifications for his continued cowardice. I think he should opt for courage. He certainly learned cowardice in Scientology in spades. His bluster, I think, is rooted actually in the Scientology cowardice condition, which makes it misplaced bluster. But perhaps all bluster is.

Now is the time for Rinder to get courageous, to do the right thing, and tell the truth that can free people – the truth about his experiences and knowledge of actions by the Scientologists and their collaborators against members of the SP class.

Communicator IC’s assertion that Rinder cannot tell the truth without potentially exposing himself to civil and criminal liability, which is provided as a lead-pipe justifier for advising him not to do so, is clarifying on three issues. 1. It acknowledges, finally, that Rinder has not told the truth. 2. It acknowledges that the truth to be told is relevant and important, and concerns criminal and tortious actions against victims; in this case me personally. 3. It acknowledges that Rinder could not have told the truth to the FBI.

I have seen it claimed that, since apparently leaving the Sea Org and presenting himself as telling the truth about his Scientology-related experiences and knowledge, Rinder, along with Mark Rathbun, has been to the FBI, talked to the FBI, been interviewed by the FBI. I have no actual knowledge of their “going to the FBI,” but there are multiple reports of them doing so. If Rinder had told the truth to the FBI; if the FBI had been the Constitution-obeying federal law enforcement entity it publicly purports to be, operating by its motto Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, and not cowardly collaborating with the Miscavige-Rathbun-Rinder, et al. conspiracy against persons and rights; and if the FBI has not prosecuted him, which they have not, then there is zero risk that Rinder would face criminal liability if he told that truth to me or my lawyer.

Rinder and Rathbun do not merit the defense or excuse that telling the truth will expose them to criminal liability, when they are claiming they’re telling the truth to the FBI — of all law enforcement entities — without the slightest hint of criminal liability.

When the FBI got the truth of the Scientologists’ fair game actions against Paulette Cooper during the GO period, the FBI contacted Cooper. Since Rathbun and Rinder, after supposedly leaving the Miscavigeite sect, went to the FBI, and supposedly told all, which had to include their years of fair game actions against me, the FBI has not contacted me. I have reason to believe, in fact, that Rathbun and Rinder continued their adherence to the conspiracy line in their communications with the FBI, which included the continued black PRing and criminal framing of me.

I wrote last year about Rathbun and Rinder’s visits to the FBI since claiming to have left the Miscavigeite sect, and explained that it is a virtual certainty they did not tell the truth:

This scenario of Rathbun and Rinder talking to the FBI or going to the Feds has been brought up several times over the past few years. It is used as evidence of them doing the right thing, or how effective they are as critics, as it has been assumed that whatever they told the Feds helped the Scientologists’ victims.

In view of the known facts, however, this assumption is illogical. It is illogical to think that Rathbun and Rinder would lie about me in Memoirs, continue the criminal framing of me and Mike Flynn, black PR me and other persons he victimized, and yet tell the truth about what they did to fair game us to the Feds.

Rathbun went to the Feds all sorts of times while working inside the cult and in charge of fair game under Miscavige. Rathbun went to the Feds, and had others go to the Feds, about Flynn and me. Rathbun lied to the Feds then, and there is no reason to believe he is not lying to them now. Until he tells the truth to his victims about his victimizing them, his talking to the FBI is just like Kendrick Moxon talking to the FBI.

All the “Indies” talking to all the FBI had the effect of ending any investigation into the cult. All Rathbun’s followers would have black PRed me and others similarly positioned SPs to the Feds.

It must be understood, of course, that the Feds conspired with the Scientologists against the Scientologists’ victims.2 When Scientologist conspirators like Rathbun and Rinder talk to the Feds, they are talking to their coconspirators. The cure is the public exposure of the conspirators and breaking of the conspiracy, not the conspirators talking in secret. That keeps the conspiracy working, which appears to be Rathbun and Rinder’s purpose.2

If civil or criminal liability would exist should Rinder tell the truth, then it must exist now, without his telling the truth. Arrangements are very often made that provide immunities of various kinds if witnesses, or even participants in crimes, tell the truth about their experiences and knowledge, or allocate. Consequently, his telling the truth could actually reduce his criminal and civil liability. Therefore criminal and civil liability for telling the truth is not really a good excuse for Rinder not doing so, certainly regarding the Scientology v. Armstrong evils. In my case, the principal crime or offense against me is continuing, rendering statutes of limitation inapplicable, so Rinder’s liability increases every day he keeps serving his conspiracy’s purposes.

From the very earliest efforts I made to get Rathbun and Rinder to communicate to me, I have provided them with the best opportunity to tell the truth, to have it be meaningful, to put it to tremendous and dramatic use. It is disgraceful that people, presenting themselves as opposing the Scientologists’ malign purposes, advise Rathbun and Rinder to not take this golden opportunity, and smear the very person with whom the opportunity exists. Advising Rinder to not tell the truth but keep serving the Scientologists’ malign purposes serves the same people’s same purposes.

Communicator IC forks up a strawman that it’s my satisfaction that weighs or argues against endangering Rinder’s wife and child and family. I had never used, relied on or referred to my satisfaction in any of my requests to Rinder or arguments to anyone that he tell the truth. My satisfaction is unrelated to Rinder telling the truth. Reconciliation, justice, peace, honor, in fact the elimination of an endangerment to his child, wife and family — those are on the other side of Rinder growing a spine and telling the simple truth, not my satisfaction.

Legal and social issues relating directly to the truth of Rinder’s experiences and knowledge also exceed and transcend my satisfaction, including, e.g., human rights; religious freedom; contracted religious silence; a light on black propaganda; the IRS crimes;  those who would act in concert with me. It is completely understandable that the Scientologists and their collaborators do not want Rinder to tell the truth, because it would affect, and could correct these issues. They do not want the Scientologists’ criminally obtained and legally undeserved IRS tax exemption to be lost or challenged.

If child, wife or family endangerment is a factor, then it should be observed that Rinder endangered, and continues to endanger his children, wives and family by being Hubbard or Miscavige’s Fair Game IC for twenty years, committing acts that even Communicator IC says subject him to criminal liability. Now Rinder keeps adding his refusal to help his victims, as does Rathbun, when he could have done so much with nothing more than the simple truth, all of which will be the legacy he leaves his children.

What a burden on them also to discover that their father used them as his excuse not to help his victims, not to end injustices. Rathbun also has been using his wife and child as human shields for much the same purpose and his supporters too validate that use.

The Scientologists and their collaborators seek to present my relationship with Mike Rinder and Rathbun as one of equal opponents equally empowered, equally right, and equally deserving of public scrutiny and criticism. If this can be accepted, of course, my few requests of both of them to communicate to me and tell the truth can be made to sound unfair. After all, they are not requesting that I  speak up and tell the truth about their and their fellow Scientologists’ fair gaming of SP class members.

Even though I see the equality, and also the unity, of all Homo sapiens, however, the clear relationship this past thirty-five years is of victimizer and victim. It is our essential equality that makes this unholy relationship of victimizer and victim what it is.

As can be seen, I did not know that Rinder was targeting me until 1985 when the Scientologists proclaimed the shocking truth that he was conning me about being my friend, about understanding where I was coming from, and about coming to me for my assistance, because he and his “Loyalists” sought fairness, truth and justice.

Rinder knew that he was targeting me from the first minute he knew I had left, which was thirty-five years ago today. Through every minute of his OSA career he targeted me. I had no idea. I did nothing about him.

I naturally testified as necessary thereafter about what had been revealed in 1985 of what he had done, but that was only because he had done it and it was relevant in various legal proceedings

Rinder had the whole OSA apparatus and used it to sue me, black PR me around the world, frame me, bankrupt me, stalk me, op me, threaten me, betray me, destroy my relationships, get me enjoined and sentenced to jail, and drive me to the edge of death, all in execution of his conspiracy’s criminal purposes and programs. I had no such apparatus, and did none of those things to Rinder.

Rinder and his fellow Scientologists and their collaborators have sought for thirty-five years, and paid millions of dollars, and corrupted courts, to silence me. I never tried to silence him or them. In fact it is quite clear that I urge them to communicate.

Rinder, et al. seek to have me jailed and fined for truthfully expressing my sincere religious experiences and knowledge. I don’t seek to have them jailed, but seek to have them truthfully express their sincere religious experiences and knowledge.

In last week’s Scientology and the Aftermath program, Rinder said:

Part of my job was to discredit and destroy critics who spoke out against the Church. If the Church believed that someone was an enemy and needed to be silenced or destroyed, it was my job and I did it.

[…]

I was the guy.

I feel bad about the people who got hurt as a result of my actions. But I feel it’s important to tell the truth of what really goes on behind the scenes. What really is happening in Scientology.

I had no such job to destroy Rinder.

Rinder’s conjunction “but” is confusing here, but his implication is clear that because he says telling the truth of what really goes on behind the scenes in Scientology is important, he must be telling such truth. Obviously he is not telling such truth; or there would be no need to advise him to not tell the truth or supply him with justifications to keep him from telling the truth. What really goes on behind the scenes is the criminal conspiracy against persons and rights in which Rinder has been such a key conspirator.

Pretended Idiot’s Guide to Allegations

felix  > TheMirrorThetan • 3 hours ago

D. You don’t need a goddamn diatribe, just allege.

Danny Oates, a newly minted member of the ATOC, attributes to Gerry Armstrong, without quotes or citation, the statement “You don’t have to prove a god damn thing! You just allege…”

From Black’s Law Dictionary:

Allegation: The assertion, claim, declaration, or statement of a party to an action, made in a pleading, setting out what he intends to prove.

The Scientologists and their collaborators have been using this statement out of context for black PR purposes for over thirty years. They have used it into the US Congress, into the US Intelligence Community, into the IRS to get their unlawful and undeserved tax exemption, into court cases, into media, into governments around the world. They still use it.

The person I was talking to when the “allege it” words were used was Mike Rinder. Below are excerpts from two declarations I wrote in 1994 to provide the context and facts.

Just like Rathbun, Rinder has never told the truth about this covert operation, known as the Armstrong Op.1 Just like Rathbun, Rinder has never come clean or told the truth about what he did in service of Hubbard and Miscavige to victimize good people who stood up to his cult’s lies and predations. Just like Rathbun, Rinder has never corrected the vicious black propaganda he generated and disseminated, and had others disseminate.

Just like Rathbun, Rinder’s black PR continues. They are both black propagandists. Rinder was Rathbun’s editor for his 2013 book that continues the criminal framing of my attorney Michael Flynn and me.

Just like Rathbun, Rinder has shown zero remorse for the evil he did in service of Hubbard and Miscavige. Instead, just like Rathbun, Rinder has carried on bullying. Just like Rathbun, Rinder has tried to become the opposition to Scientology, just as he claimed to be during the Armstrong Op. He and his co-conspirators claimed they knew Miscavige is a criminal and they wanted to get him jailed and Scientology reformed.

All the support and kudos Rinder has received as a whistleblower and as someone “bringing down the cult” is disgusting. If he really wanted to bring it down, or correct injustices, or confront Miscavige, he would tell the truth about all the victimizing he did or knows about, all the lies he told, all the injustices he perpetrated. Just like Rathbun, he hasn’t.

From my declaration of February 22, 19942, originally written for the Scientology v. Fishman and Geertz case:

  1. Mr. Miscavige states that I advise one of his covert operatives to accuse the organization of various criminal acts and when I am told that no evidence exists to support those charges I respond to “just allege it.” (Miscavige Dec. p. 32, l. 5 – l. 8) “Better Basket” describes something of the context in which I make a statement differentiating between “allegations” and “proof.” The operative I’m talking to is Mike Rinder. Before this meeting I had already, on request of the “Loyalists,” provided them with a “bare bones” draft of a complaint. Complaints contain allegations. Complaints do not contain proof. Rinder, who had been represented to me as the Loyalists’ ” best legal mind” couldn’t seem to get the distinction between allegations and proof in the complaint, and I was frustrated in our conversation because he seemed so dense. Now, of course, his denseness is fully understandable. He had to appear stupid and had to deny that there was any “proof” of the sort of allegations that would be made in a complaint because he knew he was being recorded on a videotape which was going to be used to attack, and if possible destroy me. Even what the organization has done to me alone (see, e.g., crimes listed by Judge Breckenridge and the list in paragraph 7 above) is enough for actual true-hearted reformers to bring a lawsuit to take control of the organization from the criminals now in charge.

From my declaration of February 20, 19943, also originally written for the Scientology v. Fishman and Geertz case:

  1. There were many times during this period when I considered the possibility that I was walking into a trap. The thought arose in all my meetings with Kluge, and later with Mike Rinder, the second Loyalist I would meet. Their communications often didn’t jibe with what they or Sherman had said on earlier occasions, and sometimes they said things which were downright stupid. I had no way of originating a communication to them, had no telephone numbers, no locations, no names, and no idea what any of them did. They had my address, phone number, knew exactly what I did, and could call me any time they wanted. They told me almost nothing, and wanted to know everything I knew. They claimed I had to be kept in the dark because of their fear for their lives, and for that reason I went along with their, even to me, strange behavior.
  2. Because of their fear for their lives they depended on secrecy, duplicity and intelligence procedures and goals. Although I had been in intelligence in the organization and had the essential quality for the field; i.e., native intelligence, I had, after leaving the organization, come to the conclusion that Scientology’s brand of intelligence; i.e., the secret world of data, duplicity, stealth, hidden intentions and hidden identities, was ineffective, unhealthy, unholy, and not my choice for how I would make my way through life and deal with my problems. Even inside the organization, which is an intelligence-based group, I had urged those who were in positions to do something about it to open up, stop lying, disclose its leaders, divulge its secrets; because I felt that its lies, secrets, and secret orders from its secret leaders would only bring upon it more problems. After leaving the organization, a factor in my life which led to my faith in openness and freedom as opposed to secrecy and leverage, was all the testifying I did, in trial in Armstrong I and in B & G Wards, and in many days of depositions in several more Scientology-related cases. Also I knew that the organization’s leaders, who had an undeniable determination to harm me, possessed my pc folders which contained every embarrassing incident or thought in my life, and my lives back umpteen impossibillion years. These facts had resulted in a tendency in me at times during this period to not care what happened to me and to act a little wild and silly.

  1. While claiming that the Loyalists wanted to take legal action to bring about a safe transfer of power, both Sherman and Kluge also claimed that they didn’t know anything about legal matters, nor any of the organization’s litigations, and that there were other people higher up in the Loyalist network who were trained in legal, stayed abreast of the organization’s litigation battles, and had an understanding of the Loyalists’ legal options and an overview of their plan which Sherman and Kluge didn’t have. Coupled with their claimed need to keep me in the dark for fear of their lives, their assertions of ignorance of legal matters caused considerable frustration in me and in our communications. As a result, I requested in a number of communications to speak to their “best legal mind.”
  2. Finally the Loyalists said that their legal expert would meet me and a rendezvous was set up, again in Griffith Park. The “legal expert” turned out to be Mike Rinder, a person I had known in the organization, who had held various lower level administrative posts. Rinder, it turned out, also professed ignorance of legal concepts, and my meetings and communications with him were even more frustrating.

[…]

  1. Initially the presiding judge in the Christofferson trial Donald F. Londer refused to admit the tapes because they had been obtained illegally. Then he viewed them in chambers and when he returned to the bench stated that “the tapes are devastating, very devastating to the church.” Then he admitted them into evidence.
  2. Despite Judge Londer’s ruling and comments, and despite Chief Gates’ repudiation of the Rodriguez “authorization,” the organization has continued in press and courts around the world to claim that the videotape operation was “police-sanctioned.” The organization has continued to claim that I originated the “plot to overthrow ” church” management” and that I initiated the contact with the organization members, who merely played along with my plan while remaining “loyal” to the organization. It also has continued to claim that the videotapes show me plotting to forge documents and seed them in organization files to be found in a raid, show me creating “sham lawsuits,” show me urging the Loyalists to not prove anything but “just allege it,” and show me seeking to take control of the organization. The videotapes show none of those things. The tapes show that in the fall of 1984, during the reign of the organization’s present supreme leader David Miscavige (DM), the fair game doctrine was alive and as unfair as ever. The tapes show a mean-spirited, mendacious and malevolent organization using well-drilled operatives and electronic gadgetry to attempt, unsuccessfully, to set up an unwitting, funny, sometimes silly, clearly helpful, at times foul-mouthed, but otherwise ordinary human male.
