Toronto got a picket today, some dianetic thing, and we kept at least one person of substantial means out of the cult. More later. But at the end of the picket, I got a cell phone call from Arel that Edwin Richardson was at Ida's. Here is her report. Keith Henson

*************

Edwin Richardson just paid Ida and me a visit at her house. I answered the door, expecting another picketer. Standing on the outside of the locked screen was this tall dark guy who looked very familiar. "Hello, you know me," he said.

When I didn't respond, he worked his face into a resemblance of his smile and said his name. I think I then backed up a bit and asked Ida if there was someone she wanted to call, such as the park manager. I told her that "Mr. Richardson" was here. Ida came to the door as well. She was not happy at Mr. Richardson's unannounced visit. "The sheriff is here to keep the peace," Richardson said. "Where is the sheriff," I asked. "He's parked out front," Richardson said. I went to the drapes at the front of the living room and looked out. I saw the sheriff's SUV.

When I went back to the door, Richardson was saying, "I just wanted you to know that we know about the post." He was looking at me more than at Ida.

"What post?" I asked.

"The post about the pipe bomb and the cake," he said.

"What?" I asked. I was feeling as if I had just heard some Edward Lear nonsense--he might as well have said, "The Owl and the Pussycat."

"I just want you to know what we know about the post about the pipe bomb and the cake," he repeated mechanically. Ida was telling him that we know that people post things on a.r.s. or elsewhere that threaten themselves.

He said again that the sheriff was here to keep the peace, as if we two old ladies would rush out and attack him with pipe bombs or possibly with cakes.

I said I wanted to talk with the sheriff. He said I could (kind of him, I thought).

Knowing that the sheriff was there, I unlocked the screen and went outside.

Ida followed me, leaving both doors open. I noticed that Richardson was walking away from the house ahead of me toward the sheriff's car.

He told the sheriff that we wanted to talk with him. He went around the other side and apparently went to a car and sat in it while we talked with the sheriff through the passenger window, which the sheriff deputy lowered for us. The deputy was Deputy Gonzales, I discovered when we both asked for cards from him.

He was polite and straightforward, flanked by his (probably) semiautomatic weapon in its built-in slot by his right hand. Deputy Gonzales told us that the Hemet police would ordinarily have answered such a request, but that he had been out at "gold" as part of an investigation there. When I questioned him about it, "I suppose you can't say anything about the investigation?"

He shook his head.

He said that Richardson had requested accompaniment in the course of his "line of business." I asked what that business was. Richardson was still there and seemed somewhat put out that I should ask. The deputy looked at Richardson and Richardson (through the driver's side window) said something about how I knew that. I reiterated to Deputy Gonzales that I wanted to know what Richardson's line of business was.

Gonzales then said that he is a private investigator at about the same time that Richardson said it.

I told Deputy Gonzales exactly what Richardson had said and that we didn't know what he was talking about as far as any threat was concerned. I said that he was probably trying to keep us from picketing "gold" today. The deputy asked if we intended to picket today. I said that we did.

He said he wanted to give his boss a "heads-up" and what time would we be out there. We said probably in a couple of hours. He said they would be off at 5, and said they would be aware that they might receive a call until dark. I said we were afraid to go there after dark or that we didn't go there after dark, I don't remember, and Ida reiterated that.

Ida invited the deputy to lunch and told him she would fill him in.

The deputy said several times during the conversation that they didn't know much and that it was unfortunate. He said they were "secretive."

I warned him both that Ida is a good cook and that what she tells him might be very hard to believe because the founder of $-ology told his followers to depend on people's not believing what they're about.

I told the deputy that we promised that we had made no threats, that we intended nobody any harm, and that we would carry no weapons of any kind, not so much as a toothpick. I told him in generalities about Keith's case--he knew something about it--and how they pretend to receive threats to scare away picketers. I told him I was trying to move out of California and out of the United States and that the $-ologists had chased my husband out of the country.

I told the deputy that we would only carry picket signs and walk along the highway.

He said he was glad to know what we intended and that he would report that.

I told him we knew nothing of the "threat." He said we might see him at "gold" along with another deputy or deputies, and that they expected to get a call about us. He seemed clueless about the Kult.

If I see any deputies this afternoon during picketing I will be sure to give them my card with some URLs on it--"Through the Looking Glass"

and www.operatingthetan.com

So if we get arrested--you'll know why. (I think they're just trying to scare us.)

Love to all,

Arel

No, he is Edwin Richardson, a cult PI with California stalking license #18274.

(In California, a PI license means a license to commit crimes at will.)

You can see video of this dangerous and psychotic criminal strangling Keith Henson at my Elliot Abelson page at http://www.operatingthetan.com/abelson/

Specifically, the link to the strangling attack is http://www.operatingthetan.com/abelson/henson_attack.mpeg

There are also photographs of the bruises from a week later left by the vicious attack on Henson:

Of course, the crime cultist wasn't prosecuted. Henson was arrested instead, and the cultist claims that Henson viciously "bit" his hand when he forced it down Henson's throat.

Bringing a thug like this to the house of a 78 year old woman is like bringing over the Boston strangler for tea. Of course what can be expected from the woefully inept bribed idiots of Rivercide?

Keep Off Mom's Front Porch

On Saturday, there was picket of Tom Cruise's old romping grounds, Scientology's Golden Era facility in Hemet . In an effort to intimidate participants into not picketing, an elaborate ruse was concocted by Scientology's dirty-tricks production team, OSA, The Office of Special Affairs, the same department of Scientology that brought you OPERATION FREAK OUT; the 1970's set-up of author Paulette Cooper, whose parents died in Auschwitz.

Paulette had published a book, The Scandal of Scientology..

and Scientology was going to "MAKE IT GO RIGHT" ( The supreme test of a Scientologist per Hubbard) to make sure you and I never read it.

They framed her so well for a bomb threat that the Federal Government spent a great deal of money successfully prosecuting her, and doing for Scientology what Scientology could not do for itself through 16 or more prior lawsuits: Silence and discredit a little girl with the heart of lion, who saw in Scientology that same sort of evil that had killed her own parents.

It was not until 1977, years later, that the FBI and IRS raided Scientology, carting off loads of documents. One day a document was discovered. It was an actual copy of ONE of the plans used to frame Ms. Cooper, which in part caused the government to pursue its conviction with such enthusiasm. The operation was called OPERATION FREAK OUT. Which was also an apt description of the induced mental state of Ms. Cooper after years of civil and criminal harassment.

On Saturday, an infamous agent, employee and dirty tricks private investigator named Edwin Richardson appeared on octogenarian Ida Camburn's doorstep, feigning to want to make peace, so that Ms.

Camburn would not make a "cake bomb". Scientology Richardson was accompanied by a member of the Hemet Sheriff's office, who was not quite sure what to make of all of this or exactly why he was there.

Well let me try to connect the dots for you in this confusing saga of what may be multiple nested deceptions.

This elaborate frame job was based upon a February 19th posting by a nick "Ava@newsguy.com", who replied to an unremarkable posting about possible pickets of upcoming L Ron Hubbard birthday events with this corker: "Any[o]ne know how to safely plant a pipe bomb in a sheet cake?"

This posting was then replied to by a nick called "Miscreant critic"" on Friday the 22nd, using an anonymous remailer service called xganon. I am convinced that Miscreant critic is a highly placed official in Scientology’s office to handle the Internet. His previous targets have been those people who have survived many prior attempts to silence them, including litigation, refused offers of a gag for money, and in general the folks Scientology considers their biggest enemies, myself included. "Miscreant critic" attempts to concoct an elaborate conspiracy to physically attack Scientology using an 80 year old grandmother in Hemet California as a base of operations. The Miscreant posting is piece of fiction which is quite comparable to the story of Xenu as a science fiction thriller.

The Hemet sheriff’s deputy told Ms. Camburn that he just "happened" to be at Scientology’s base in Hemet on other business when this was brought to his attention. The posting by "Miscreant" vanished from many news server’s right after it was posted making it difficult to locate, but not so difficult it wasn’t available for Edwin Richardson to print out and conveniently show to the Sheriff, who just "happened" to be there "on other business."

The picket, although short, did go off without incident. So what was accomplished? At best, an elderly lady was harrassed, and the Hemet sheriffs dept was unwittingly used by Scientology to harrass her in hopes of quashing a few American Citizen’s constitutionally guaranteed civil rights to demonstrate their outrage in front of a criminally convicted cult of madmen that a french prosecutor asked, just last week, be thrown out of Paris.

Will anyone care that Ms Camburn herself was deposed as a hostile witness in one of Paulette Cooper’s cases by Scientology using the excuse that she possessed a few copies of The Scandal of Scientology? Will Scientology’s latest real life science fiction thriller become a Federal case? Or will Scientology settle for possibly just a memorable keynote speaker’s contribution to Riverside DA Grover Trask’s re-election campaign fund. Grover Trask has already proven himself to be Riverside county’s resident authority on Tom Cruise Missiles in his recent theatrical starring Keith Henson, who used to picket Scientology in Hemet.

Or do we just have another Scientology self-inflicted foot bullet of truly epic proportions.. you see, the infamous "There's more to Ida than meets the eye" Camburn never bakes CAKES, however she is famous throughout the valley for her snickerdoodles... Now.. *if* their allegations included something about a plot to launch dozens of Tom Cruise Snickerdoodle Missiles.. Scientology might be onto something, however considering the size of Tom Cruise's snickerdoodle, even when he is within sight of the leader of Scientology, the mastermind of this caper, David Miscavige, even this nefarious plot might be easily mistaken for no more than bird droppings.
