Ladies and Gentleman:

Thank you F.E.C.R.I.S. for inviting me to present this paper and thank you too to the governments of France and Germany for making it financially possible to be a presenter at this conference. Today, I address you in St. Petersburg, Russia, from where I urge and petition the United States federal government to investigate the extensive evidence of egregious human rights and civil rights abuses, criminal conduct and financial frauds committed by a tax-exempt American cult called the Church of Scientology. Scientology's financial center is next door to another but much smaller St. Petersburg, a city near Clearwater, Florida.

A full presentation of the reasons and evidence supporting such an investigation of the Scientology tax-exempt, racketeering enterprise would take many days and fill many volumes. Accordingly, in this speech I shall merely highlight some of the issues and information that, in my opinion, begs for investigation, correction and compensation.

Scientology was founded in 1953 by science fiction writer and Satanist, L. Ron Hubbard, who had been declared as unfit for any command position or promotion in the U.S. Navy. Scientology has since been called the most dangerous of all cults and it now holds a special position among psycho-terror groups. If terrorism can be defined as achieving one's aims through fear, then the Scientology enterprise has an extensive history of terrorism that no responsible government can or should continue to ignore.

In brief, and according to U.S. Federal Court Judge Leona Brinkema, "Scientologists believe that most human problems can be traced to lingering spirits of an extraterrestrial people massacred by their ruler Xenu over 75 million years ago. These dead alien spirits attach themselves by "clusters" to individuals in the contemporary world, causing spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives of their hosts." Scientology charges enormous hourly fees, sometimes as much as $1,200 per hour, to use a primitive lie detector called an E meter to remove a Scientologist's Body Thetans. As if this were not odious enough, the auditing process is never ending. The Body Thetans on the Scientologist also have their own Body Thetans dwelling upon them. They too have to be removed, at the expense of the individual Scientologist because Body Thetans, also known as "BTs and Clusters," do not have any money to pay for Scientology processing themselves. Indeed, it is not unusual for Scientologists to spend over a million dollars trying to deal with their own BTs and Clusters and the BTs and Clusters that cling to those BTs. For everyone except Scientologists, Scientology beliefs can easily be found on the internet with search terms such as Xenu, Operating Thetan, OT III, Scientology and upper levels. Indeed, since November 16, 2005, many millions of people have learned about Scientology's secret OT teachings from the "Trapped in the Closet" episode of the South Park television show.

However, the investigation and prosecution being called for is not about whether or not Scientology works to cure all physical, mental and emotional conditions and will work as the universal world government and provider of all medical and mental health services, all of which Scientology claims, practices and is intent upon achieving. The purpose of the investigation called for is not to investigate the truth or falsity of any alleged religious faith of Scientology. Instead, the investigation being demanded is about whether the Church of Scientology, directly or indirectly, is engaged in financial fraud and crime, human and civil rights abuses, human trafficking, unlicensed medical practice and other criminal conduct.

Amazingly, the United States government already has voluminous evidence of Scientology criminal conduct. On July 7, 1977, the F.B.I, raided the Church of Scientology in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, California. Over 48,000 incriminating documents were seized and eleven Church of Scientology leaders were convicted of the largest ever-known criminal infiltration and burglary of the United States government. Scientology had code named this massive crime "Operation Snow White." More recently, the Church of Scientology itself was convicted in Canada and elsewhere for similar criminal conduct. Currently, the Scientology conglomerate is being criminally prosecuted in both Belgium and France. The government of Belgium has accused Scientology of extortion, fraud, organized crime, obstruction of medical practice, illegal medical practice, invasion of privacy, conspiracy and corporate violations. The French government has accused Scientology of commercial fraud and the illegal practice of medicine. The German government considers Scientology to be a totalitarian fascist political movement that is a danger to the democratic state. It also believes that Scientology is a criminal organization that engages in psycho-terror, money laundering and other forms of commercial fraud and extortion. Historically, over the past sixty years, there have been dozens of other damning prosecutions, convictions and investigations of Scientology around the planet. Indeed, right now in California, Scientology is being sued for forcing staff members to participate in human trafficking, forced abortions, labor law and minimum wage violations. Scientology and its attorneys have responded with witness intimidation and threats to financially destroy and bankrupt the attorneys representing the three former Scientologists seeking justice. Some refer to Scientology as "tax-exempt child abuse." One of the three former Scientologist litigants was recruited for full time work at the age of 14. For the next 18 years or so he worked 100 hours or more per week for a weekly wage of forty six dollars. In this way Scientology is able to make an enormous profit on its products and merchandise. For example, the E-meter costs less than fifty dollars to manufacture but is sold for prices that soar to over twenty-seven thousand dollars.

The United States Congress has the power to investigate the secular crimes, civil and human rights abuses alleged of the Church of Scientology. The Congress has the power to investigate the allegations and evidence of corruption of the legal system and of the executive branch of the United States government by the Scientology enterprise, the latter's unconstitutional use of the Departments of State and Treasury to advance the expansion of Scientology abroad, and to perpetuate the unlawful Scientology corruption of the United States Internal Revenue Service within the United States. The U.S. Congress also has the power to investigate all of the business and other money making activities of Scientology as part of its legislative power. Where does all the money go and who controls it? After all, the Church of Scientology is now a tax-exempt organization in the United States based upon the premise that it is organized for the public benefit. Scientology has falsely claimed to be the world's fastest growing religion. In reality, it has shrunk to less than 30,000 active staff and members' world wide. Falsely inflated membership claims are part of the complex Scientology fraud. In contrast to the United States, Europe has developed a much more sensitive and sophisticated approach to psycho terror groups. Last year, at the F.E.C.R.I.S. conference in Italy, Mr. Alessandrini said that "These organizations are able to thoroughly condition an individual, detach him or her from their reality and the love of their families. They often harm the victim's health, by negatively affecting their physical and psychological balance, they trick their victims out of their assets, perpetuate physical violence, and practice blackmail, abuse, frauds and threats." In the United States, we also call this coercive indoctrination. In 1955, an affiliate of the Church of Scientology published a booklet called "Brainwashing" complete with several references to the Church of Scientology. Scientology's founder claimed to be an expert in psychological warfare, brainwashing and obtaining confessions. In 1998, I delivered a speech in Hamburg, Germany. That speech was called "The Dark Side of Scientology" and it can be found on the Internet should you be interested. In that speech, I said that Scientology could be reduced to three fundamental concepts: "Power, Purge and Punish." Power referred to the goal of Scientology to "clear the planet" and eliminate all opposition to Scientology. Purge referred to Scientology removing all critical or negative documents and information from government files and public accessibility. Punish, I said, was the darkest of all sides of Scientology. It took two forms: an internal Orwellian form of eliminating any dissent or critical thought, and an external form of punishing critics and the uncooperative government officials with copyrighted policies of terror and psycho-terror for the "Handling of Suppressive Persons;" persons who oppose or impede Scientology's objectives. These written policies are loosely called "Fair Game" and they take different forms: intelligence, investigation, intimidation, litigation, fraud and deception. These six forms of Scientology "Fair Game" are the principal means with which the Scientology enterprise uses and exploits governments and their legal systems for its own ends.

The Church of Scientology has a well deserved reputation for being the most fearsome and intimidating litigant in America. Many lawyers are willing to deal with "hard ball" litigation tactics but few are willing to confront criminal tactics: public corruption, bribery, blackmail, extortion, perjury, obstruction of justice, fraud, false claims, lying, defamation, deception, intimidation and psycho-terror. All of these things are well documented as being the regular litigation tactics of the Church of Scientology, its lawyers and its private investigators.

The Scientology fraud starts with the deceitful claim that it is simply a misunderstood peaceful, ethical religion. However, Scientology's well documented criminal conduct demonstrates that its religious cloaking is merely a public relations facade and fraud, along with its many other "false front" commercial tentacles and recruiting routes such as W.I.S.E., Narconon and Applied Scholastics.

The copyrighted policies and records of Scientology demonstrate that it really seeks global totalitarian political domination and that has never changed. One Scientology policy document classifies all governments as Suppressive Persons, to be "utterly destroyed" and "eliminated," "quietly and without sorrow." In 1960, Scientology issued the "Special Zone Plan - The Scientologists Role in Life." Scientologists who are not on Church staff are ordered to achieve influence in the society at large, by taking positions next to the high and mighty. "Don't bother to get elected. Get a job on the secretarial staff or the body guard." For example, Scientologist John Danielson was Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush's former Secretary of Education Rod Paige. They are still working together as the Chartwell Education Group and they are continuing to support Scientology as "Applied Scholastics" in ten states to receive tax­payer monies as part of the Supplemental Educational Services under the "No Child Left Behind" program. Bruce Wiseman, the President of Scientology's anti-psychiatry false front, the Citizens Commission for Human Rights (C.C.H.R.), is also the Treasurer of the National Foundation of Woman Legislators. Former lead Scientology lawyer Gerald Chaleff is now the Los Angeles Police Department attorney and command team member. The Los Angeles County Sheriff publicly supports and promotes Scientology. It is said he even tried to introduce Scientology training into the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department.

The list of infiltrated, influenced, corrupt and compromised public officials, including judges, is a long and tawdry one. For example: Scientologists are placed into law firm word processing departments, and into congressional mail rooms, to intercept, eliminate and report on litigation documents and citizen complaints. These people are coercively indoctrinated into ignoring their oaths and obligations of office and to always advance Scientology's agenda. To them, as written policies demand, the ends really do justify the means.

As you know, here in Europe no democratic state can survive such pervasive criminal behavior, but the United States now has an institutional tolerance of Scientology crimes and abuses, frauds and sedition. More than that, the United States government actively promotes and protects Scientology around the world as part of its preferential and unconstitutional tax settlement agreement. Along with other recent events, this has seriously compromised the international reputation of the United States. Indeed, the United States Government's active support for Scientology's worldwide expansion leads many to now refer to the United States of Hypocrisy rather than to the United States of America. On the one hand, the United States government opposes global terrorism while on the other hand it pressures foreign governments to permit tax-exempt Scientology "psycho-terrorism" within their borders.

In the early 1960s, Scientology established a Department of Government Affairs. Hubbard wrote that "... [f]he goal of the Department of Government Affairs is to bring the government and hostile philosophies into complete compliance with the goals of Scientology. This is done by high level control, and in its absence, by low level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies." Later, Scientology also established a Department of Official Affairs, to create "... [h]eavy influence through our own and similarly minded groups on the public and official mind." Next, came the Scientology "Public Investigations" section. In 1966, these Scientology departments were merged into the Guardian's Office, the church's very own intelligence agency. It handled public relations, litigation, and intelligence gathering. The Intelligence Bureau not only conducted "black ops" but also engaged in intimidation and worse; what has been properly classified here in Europe as "psycho-terror" and even "terrorism," being perpetrated by a California based corporation calling itself a church.

In 1982, as part of Scientology's deceptive and fraudulent corporate re-organization, Scientology's Guardian's Office was renamed the Office of Special Affairs or O.S.A. Contrary to sworn representations to the United States government, many Guardian's Office staff continued to work for O.S.A., just as they had for the Guardian's Office. One example is O.S.A.'s lead in-house lawyer, Kendrick Moxon, who was named in the 266 page Stipulation of Evidence in the case of U.S. v. Hubbard, for providing fabricated evidence to the F.B.I.

Today, lead Scientology attorney Moxon continues to fabricate evidence. The Office of Special Affairs is headquartered in Hollywood and Gilman Hot Springs, California. David Miscavige, the totalitarian leader of this para-military cult, lives in Gilman Hot Springs in an armored building and often travels by armored vehicle. His actions and orders go out around the world and the money comes back into the United States from around the world, or it flows into secret, numbered bank accounts in Luxembourg and in the Caribbean. Apparently, much of this money-laundering is conducted through secret numbered bank accounts administered by the Merrill Lynch company. Obviously, all the money does not come from church members paying for courses and auditing. The real money comes from other sources and activities. How the money comes in, and the secret off shore tax haven accounts much of it is deposited into, are a subject for another day and the U.S. Government's secular investigation that has been requested by tens of thousands of United States Citizens.

In 2003, Scientology ordained minister Reed Slatkin pleaded guilty to a fifteen count federal indictment that included charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and obstruction of justice. At the time it was the largest ever Ponzi scheme in U.S. history; a six hundred million dollar fraud. Much of the money came from celebrities and was funneled, by Slatkin and others, into the Church of Scientology and its related entities such as Narconon International, the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center International and the Church of Scientology Western United States, according to court records and media reports. Appropriately, Ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme and Amway like are words often used to describe the Church of Scientology which pays many members commissions for recruiting new members. In this way, some Scientologists called Field Service Members receive hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. What other church uses a "Hard Sell Pack" which demands that recruiting targets, called "raw meat," be signed up immediately. "Hard sell means insistence that people buy," states this Scientology publication.

On October 9, 2001, less than 30 days after the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States, the O.S.A. legal unit known as Moxon & Kobrin renewed the copyright of Scientology's policy document called "Targets Defense." In this church policy and practice document, certain "vital targets" are identified. "T(arget)l, Depopularizing the enemy [all those who oppose a global Scientology takeover] to a point of total obliteration; T(arget) 2, Taking over the control or allegiance of the heads or proprietors of all news media; T(arget) 3, Taking over the control or allegiance of key political figures; T(arget) 4, Taking over the control or allegiance of those who monitor international finance."

In another Church document, Hubbard ordered the formation of a Scientology Department of Government Affairs and wrote that, "The goal of the Department is to bring the government and hostile philosophies or societies into a state of complete compliance with the goals of Scientology. This is done by high level ability to control, and in its absence, by low level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies." Scientology documents also state that dissemination and recruiting should be done in secret without the recipient realizing what is being done. "The only way to control someone," said Hubbard, "is to lie to them." Hubbard also wrote, "All men shall be my slaves ... all men shall grovel at my feet and not know why." The ultimate goal of Scientology is to "clear the planet" by taking over and controlling all activities on the planet and exterminating all those who oppose Scientology. They are labeled Suppressive Persons and they are classified as by Scientology as dangerous or insane criminals. Scientology is truly a Fifth Column, a seditious enemy within.

With Hubbard's "Manual on Brainwashing," and his auditing processes and training drills, Scientology enslaves minds, and with Scientology's promises to cure all ills and ailments, it unlawfully practices medicine; stealing people's health, and sacrificing their lives for more and more auditing dollars, until it is too late for conventional medicine to work. You can read about some of the deaths on the Internet at WhyAreTheyDead.com. The list of victims, who are dead (often through mysterious and shockingly similar suicides) is long and covers decades. The list of people who have disappeared is also long and likewise covers decades.

Meanwhile, the Church of Scientology continues to insist that only Scientology and its auditing processes, and copyrighted procedures such as NOTS 34, can cure physical and mental conditions and diseases. The Church of Scientology is killing people by the unlawful practice of medicine as well as destroying lives and livelihoods with its Fair Game retaliation against those who impede its goals. Scientology is destroying lives, liberties and the pursuit of happiness for countless people.

If this United States government protected and promoted racketeering and terror group was not called a "church" it would require medical and other licenses and the fully informed consent of the medical patient or commercial customer. In fact, instead of full and informed disclosure, the Scientology enterprise requires its parishioners to sign away all of their civil rights, to never testify against or sue a Scientologist or Scientology and to submit any legal dispute with the Church or other Scientologist to a Scientology court called a Committee of Evidence.

In 1995, a young Scientologist by the name of Lisa McPherson expressed her desire to leave Scientology and return home to her mother before Christmas of that year. She never made it, because Lisa McPherson knew too much about Scientology's false fronts and commercial frauds. Scientology killed Lisa McPherson, holding her captive in a room for 17 days, denying her non-Scientology medical care, until she was dehydrated, covered with 110 cockroach bites and dead. Allow me to reiterate, dead, as part of a Scientology policy and procedure for handling a person having a psychotic break, or becoming crazy, while engaged in Scientology mental processing. A Florida coroner was extorted into changing the official cause of death and even the investigating police were harassed by Scientology operatives. What did this Church do after they had killed Lisa McPherson and paid over $50 million tax-exempt dollars, to defeat the court claims of her family through international public corruption, litigation terrorism, international psycho-terrorism, blackmail and fraud? This so-called Church, claiming to be the most ethical group on the planet, ordered its lawyers to draft, and its parishioners to sign, a new general release and waiver of all liability agreeing that the Church of Scientology is free of any liability for death, "injury or damage suffered in any way or connected with Scientology Religious Services or Spiritual Assistance."

Why should the name "Church of Scientology" be enough to enable the Scientology enterprise to change and waive the laws, rules and consequences that apply to all other organizations and religions including The Roman Catholic Church? The Roman Catholic Church was liable for the sexual abuse perpetrated by its clergy. In fact, the Church of Scientology itself has repeatedly covered up staff sexual abuse and rape with the use of psycho-terror and gag agreements. Hubbard also wrote that a Scientologist can get away with murder. Amazingly, the one racketeering enterprise in the United States that is now above the law is the Church of Scientology.

Perhaps that is because of the 1993 Secret Tax Agreement between the IRS and Scientology which, in effect, makes Scientology the established state religion of America by giving it unique tax benefits, global promotion and protection from Interpol. These are unique privileges and government assistance that the I.R.S. and Scientology agreed by contract would be denied to all other religions. Last February, in Sklar v. Internal Revenue Service., where Jewish parents were seeking the same religious education deductions exclusively allowed to Scientologists, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge said that "...the view of the I.R.S. that it can unconstitutionally violate the Constitution by treating [Scientology] more favorably than other religions in terms of what is allowed as deductions ... does intrude into the Establishment Clause." How did this constitutional outrage happen when Scientology's history of crime, abuse and fraud is so well documented within the U.S. government? The I.R.S. lamely claims that in 1991, it did a sudden 180 degree turn, granted Scientology tax-free status and urged all foreign governments to do the same, because the Church of Scientology informed the I.R.S. that it no longer engages in the sort of conduct I am describing here today. Repeatedly, similar decisions are expressly made upon false Scientology claims that since the death of L. Ron Hubbard in 1986, it no longer engages in criminal and other anti-social conduct.

Three decades ago Scientology agents broke into and infiltrated 135 government departments and embassies in Washington, DC, as part of "Operation Snow White," which is still an ongoing Scientology project. Eleven of Scientology's top executives were convicted. Hubbard's own wife went to federal prison. L. Ron Hubbard was classified as an unindicted co­conspirator and went into hiding for rest of his life. By 1980, the I.R.S. was arguing that Scientology should continue to be denied tax-exempt status because of conspiracies to obstruct the I.R.S. and the judicial process, the abuse of religious confidences, the infliction of psychological harm, blackmail and the "disconnection" of family, friends and other relationships, false imprisonment, immigration frauds, removal of large amounts of money from the United States, drastic punishments of staff and members, and fraudulent statements to the I.R.S. These objections are as valid now as they were several decades ago.

In 1990, the Los Angeles Times published a devastating six-part series exposing Church of Scientology crime and abuse. On May 6, 1991, Time Magazine published its largest selling edition the cover story of which was, "Scientology, The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power." The article won numerous journalism awards and is widely available on the Internet. The Church of Scientology unsuccessfully sued Time Magazine for defamation. Although truth was the successful defense, the litigation cost Time Magazine and its insurers over $20 million to defend.

However, at the very same time as the Church of Scientology was unsuccessfully suing Time Magazine for defamation, the Church of Scientology leaders were successfully pressuring, allegedly even blackmailing, the United States I.R.S. Commissioner into reversing thirty years of federal government opposition to Church of Scientology tax-exempt status and ignoring a recent United States Supreme Court decision upholding the I.R.S. opposition.

The Church of Scientology had lost its U.S. tax-exempt status in 1967, and it had spent the next thirty plus years fighting to recover it. During this time, Scientology blithely refused to pay any taxes to the government and got away with it. Scientology's Operation Snow White was part of Scientology's self-described "War against the I.R.S." Scientology even bugged internal high level I.R.S. meetings. It was the largest ever domestic spy case in U.S. history and the largest ever known criminal infiltration of the United States government. In 1989, in the Hernandez case, the United States Supreme Court upheld the position of the I.R.S. that, among other things, the payments of "fixed donations," known as fixed prices in the market place, for Scientology auditing sessions on the Hubbard E Meter were not charitable donations within the meaning of the U.S. tax code.

In late 1993, relatively soon after the United States Supreme Court decision in Hernandez, the I.R.S. Commissioner shocked the rest of the government and many citizens by suddenly reversing and granting the Church of Scientology its long denied tax-exempt status. This is one of the great uninvestigated scandals involving the government of the United States. A settlement agreement between the I.R.S. and the Church of Scientology was classified as secret upon national security grounds, but it was later leaked to the press. In 1997, The New York Times, and later The Wall Street Journal, published investigative articles revealing a multitude of matters for a congressional investigation that no politician has had the courage to request. Four former I.R.S. Commissioners expressed their misgivings about the sudden I.R.S. reversal of over 30 years of U.S. government tax policy and Supreme Court decisions. Department of Justice prosecutors expressed their rage and disgust at the reversal without warning. There was worldwide public and media condemnation of the I.R.S. decision to grant Scientology tax-exempt status in the United States.

The Church of Scientology and its affiliates had filed over 2,500 law suits against the I.R.S., dozens of individual I.R.S. agents and their families had been psycho-terrorized, and two I.R.S. agents had allegedly died under very suspicious circumstances. The New York Times reported that Scientology attorney, Kendrick L. Moxon, Esq., who was also an unindicted co­conspirator in the United States v. Hubbard prosecution following the 1977 F.B. I. raids on Scientology offices, had paid over one million dollars to private investigators to "dig up the dirt" on I.R.S. officials. There are persistent allegations that Scientology agents set up either the I.R.S. Commissioner or his son in a statutory rape sting and then used that to blackmail the I.R.S. into waiving over a billion dollars of past-dues taxes, interest and penalties against the Scientology enterprise and its leader David Miscavige.

The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals later ruled, in the Sklar case, that the Scientologists' new tax status was unconstitutional, but that the solution was for Congress to revoke it and not for the courts to extend it to an observant Jewish couple's petition for equal protection. Some of the best examples of why the special Scientology tax status should be revoked are provided in the 1993, "IRS War Is Over" speech by Scientology leader David Miscavige. Scientology's leader has publicly claimed that this tax agreement, based upon a blatantly fraudulent and "specially handled" application, along with a merely superficial and neutered I.R.S. investigation, saved Scientology over one billion dollars in past due taxes, interest and penalties. Scientology is now in serious and likely fatal breach of the tax agreement. This agreement should now be rescinded and all past-due taxes, penalties and interest levied. This would contribute about three billion dollars to the ailing United States treasury. The "Special Handling" procedures the I.R.S. used to reverse the Hernandez Supreme Court decision, were used only for the second time in the history of the I.R.S., and contained false representations that Scientology had removed everyone associated with Scientology's Operation Snow White. Amazingly, one of Scientology's lead lawyers in the tax matter was unindicted Operation Snow White co-conspirator Kendrick L. Moxon who has been a central figure in many of Scientology's criminal activities. Just as amazingly, David Miscavige is also reported as saying that he and then Scientology senior executive Martin C. Rathbun would go to prison for a very long time if it were ever known how, during one half hour unannounced visit to then I.R.S. Commissioner Fred Goldberg in 1991, they reversed twenty-five years of Federal Government resistance, and persuaded the I.R.S. into ignoring the 1989 U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the Hernandez case.

In January 2009, President Obama received a Citizen's Briefing Book in which ordinary citizens proposed and voted on their concerns and proposals. In ninth most popular place of over 44,000 ideas was a proposal to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Church of Scientology for the reason that the Church of Scientology is a dangerous for-profit organization that has been convicted of financial fraud and manslaughter. Similar recent on-line petitions have attracted over tens of thousands of supporters.

The more than 166 corporations and Churches of Scientology are an elaborate fraud and religious cloak, designed to shield the true nature of what is really a racketeering enterprise that, in my opinion, satisfies all of the elements of the United States Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as R.I.CO. There is no corporate integrity amongst this deceitful conglomerate. The conditions of the secret tax agreement are ignored and unenforced. David Miscavige controls and micro-manages the entire enterprise exercising sole control over the organization and its assets. This tax-exempt church is managing agent David Miscaviges' tax-free totalitarian empire and para-military gulag, and any time he likes he can run with all the untaxed money. This is Scientology in America today, and it adversely affects America's image and reputation around the world.

The U.S. government claims it is fearless and tireless in fighting against extremist Islamist terrorism, but it is intimidated, impotent and complicit in matters of Scientology's domestic terrorism, crime and abuse. The law in the United States only requires that the government and the courts respect freedom of religious belief. The law and the court decisions In the United States, justice and fair play on a level playing field, are not possible in litigation involving the Church of Scientology. The government, law enforcement, the courts and the media have all been terrorized into abdicating their oaths of office and their obligations. A copyrighted Scientology document provides that "... [t]he purpose of the law suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway ... would generally be sufficient to cause his professional demise. If possible, of course, ruin utterly."

Scientology takes this even further by engaging in institutional organized perjury. "The only way to control someone is to lie to them," wrote Hubbard. In another Hubbard written document, the "Manual of Justice," he stated, "People attack Scientology ... always even the score ... overt investigation of someone or something attacking us by an outside detective agency should be done more often and hang the expense ... Hire them and damn the costs when you need to ... the critic will sure shudder into silence ... [Scientology] punishment is gruesome ... there are people hiding in terror on Earth because they attacked us. There are men dead because they attacked us." In another Scientology policy document Hubbard wrote, "We will become interested in the crimes of people who seek to stop us. If you oppose Scientology we will promptly look up - and will find and expose - your crimes. If you leave us alone we will leave you alone. It's very simple. Even a fool can grasp that." There are many dozens of written copyrighted Scientology policies along these lines and even worse. In another Scientology policy document Hubbard directs the church to conduct "wars of attrition on the basis of total attrition of the enemy ... Just go all the way in and obliterate them ... cut off enemy communications, funds, and connections ... raid and harass."

In 1994, I delivered two boxes of incriminating racketeering testimony to the United States Attorney's office in Los Angeles and was later told that the Federal government did not have the resources to fight crime on the scale that the Church of Scientology engages in. The same U.S. Attorney's office has recently disbanded its "public corruption unit" which makes the situation even worse. However, unlimited tax-exempt litigation funds are only part of this picture.

In the 1980s, the American Lawyer Magazine published an article entitled "Scientology's to represent the Mafia. Scientology actually investigates judges and their law clerks. Scientology lawyers have been known to contact these law clerks and threaten them. They have had improper ex parte meetings with judges before a case is filed. They have left on midnight visits to other judges. Cases get reassigned to judges who are in Scientology's pocket, or who used to be an attorney for Scientology, or who are involved romantically with a Scientologist. Court clerks can be persuaded to receive court filings after hours. Court opinions sometimes read like a Scientology lawyer wrote them. In one case, Scientology filed a motion to disqualify every judge in Los Angeles County. In another case they sued the judge for not allowing them to use the Scientology court reporting company of Atkinson Baker; the largest court reporting service in the nation. Using Atkinson Baker, Scientology lawyers have received copies of transcripts long before other counsel. In another Scientology case, there was even a transcript change. In yet another case, Scientology attorney Moxon was alleged to have drowned the judge's dog. All this creates a climate of psycho-terror among the judges and that results in blatant miscarriages of justice. Even jury tampering is not out of bounds for Scientology, as happened in another recent example involving the wife of an O.S.A. staffer. Such shameless self-interest by many of our judges are part of the problem as they ignore those immortal words inscribed on the United States Supreme Court building, "Equal Justice Under Law." In the United States there is no longer any "Equal Justice Under Law" when opposing the Church of Scientology.

Scientology policy documents hold that only Scientologists have civil rights and that those who impede, oppose or sue Scientology have no civil rights at all, and they may be destroyed by any means and with impunity. Another Scientology document directs its staff and lawyers to overwhelm an opposing litigant or uncooperative judge into submission. With massive litigation budgets and sometimes dozens of lawyers, Scientology files countless motions, takes endless depositions and pursues every avenue of appeal. The goal is to delay the resolution of the case as long as possible, to totally frustrate the judge and to grind the opponent into submission financially, physically and emotionally. Some litigants and their lawyers have developed post traumatic stress disorder. When the case ends, the documents and evidence often get sealed, witnesses and litigants are coerced into "gag" agreements, access to court files become blocked and documents slowly disappear from those court files.

As I have explained, in my opinion, the Scientology racketeering enterprise now does almost whatever it wants in the city of Clearwater, Florida, as well as in the cities of Los Angeles movie to protect their first amendment right to freedom of speech. Since then Anonymous has been picketing Scientology facilities every month and sometimes every day. On one weekend over ten thousand Anonymous protestors picketed the Scientology enterprise in over 110 different cities around the planet. In the year that has followed, Scientology's membership, staff and income have declined by about fifty per cent. Indeed, the Church of Scientology is imploding. Without corrupted and unduly influenced police officers and prosecutors, particularly in Los Angeles, Riverside, Boston, Nashville, Atlanta and London, Scientology might already have collapsed.

Most of Scientology's former top executives are unlawfully imprisoned in a Scientology prison camp in Riverside, California, or have escaped and are being terrorized, extorted and silenced by Scientology operatives as part of Scientology's on-going obstruction of justice and frauds upon the courts. Scientology falsely accused the Anonymous protestors of being violent terrorists even though every act of violence has been perpetrated by Scientologists against the protestors. These protestors are anything but terrorists; they happily give hugs, sing, dance and eat cake! Foreign government representatives have expressed concern that the rapidly shrinking and increasingly exposed Scientology enterprise is becoming even more dangerous and threatening to those opposing and revealing its misconduct. In fact, two of Scientology's former deputy leaders (Vicki Aznaran and Jesse Prince) now both out of the Church, have publicly stated that Scientology engages in criminal activity on a daily basis.

Anonymous was correct. Scientology has responded ferociously. Over the past year it has been spending many millions of dollars on large law firms and hundreds of private investigators. The young Anonymous protestors have been tailed by Scientology staff and private investigators, their car license plates recorded and their identities revealed from State automobile registrations. A number of police departments have assisted Scientology with these constitutional violations. Expensive law firms have written thousands of letters threatening these young people with serious legal consequences unless they "cease and desist" their allegedly unlawful activity, picketing and protesting against Scientology. Scientology operatives have even targeted uninvolved parents and scared them into demanding their high school and college age children stop protesting Scientology abuse and crime. Two young leaders of Anonymous in Scientology were silenced when Church of Scientology lawyer Kendrick Moxon threatened one that his father's career would be destroyed by Scientology operatives unless the son ceased being a part of the anti-Scientology abuse movement. The father is a prominent Washington lobbyist. Other protestors have been unlawfully arrested only to be later released and the charges dropped. It is ironic that the I.R.S. tax-exempt organization status is being used to facilitate the expenditure of many millions of tax-exempt dollars on extortion, the suppression of free speech and the violation of other constitutional rights. Where is America's outrage and national shame?

In the 1976, case of Allard v. the Church of Scientology the court accurately and courageously described some of the documents and conduct I have mentioned, as well as the activities of a group of Scientologists. The judges said, "... these documents establish beyond question that the defendants, their convicted co-defendants and their un-indicted co-conspirators (including current Scientology lead attorney, Moxon) as well as their organization considered themselves above the law. They believe they had carte blanche to violate the rights of others, frame critics in order to destroy them, burglarize private and public offices and steal documents outlining the strategy of individuals and organizations that the Church had sued...The defendants and their cohorts launched vicious smear campaigns, spreading falsehoods against those they perceive to be enemies of Scientology in order to discredit them and, in some instances, to cause them to lose their employment...To these defendants and associates...anyone who did not agree with them was considered to be an enemy against whom the so-called 'Fair Game' doctrine could be invoked... In view of this, it defies the imagination that these [Church of Scientology] defendants have the unmitigated audacity to seek to defend their actions in the name of religion." It is forty years since those comments in the Allard decision and very little has changed regarding what the judge described. In 1991, the Church of Scientology told the I.R.S. that it does not engage in such conduct any more. Clearly, it does not engage in it any less.

Scientology dehumanizes its critics as "Dangerous Criminals," "Public Enemies" and "Suppressive Persons," and uses its policies and practices to attempt to destroy and eliminate those people. Accordingly, Scientology's own copyrighted documents and history prove that it is a hate based philosophy and group with the intent, motive and bias that the hate crime statutes require.

In his Inaugural Address on January 20, 2009, President Barack Obama said that the United States, "...is at war against a far reaching network of violence and hatred... To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history...." In the United States, one of the real threats to our Republic and to our freedoms which it promises, is this tax-exempt government sponsored racketeering enterprise within, our home-grown so-called Church of Scientology. It is also "far reaching network of violence and hatred" with a leader "who cling [s] to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent," precisely as President Obama had described. The secret goals of Scientology, and much of its secular conduct, mock and betray the sacrifice and honor of what President Obama called "the guardians of liberty ... our fallen heroes who lie in Arlington," and our founding fathers "noble idea ... that all are created equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."

There is no time to waste. The Department of Justice and the Congress must act NOW. The lives and livelihoods of dozens of citizens are being attacked and destroyed as I speak. The creeping cancer of Scientology crime and abuse must be stopped. The Scientology enterprise and its responsible leaders must be held accountable. Dozens of former Scientology operatives, witnesses and victims, and hundreds of incriminating documents, now await review and action by the United States government and Congress, while the rest of the world watches to see if the nation remains true to its historic ideals and principles, just as President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have promised and assured those of us who reside in the United States as well as the people of the rest of the world.

Thank you.
