The ethics gradient on the Scientology enterprise just went up another notch.

Copies of this have been sent to all relevant government officials in Washington.

While I am certainly not telling others to file complaints, I would not consider it impolite or any kind of imposition for others to use applicable parts of my text to help them draw up a complaint of their own. Some may not have felt able to act for fear of being the only one filing a complaint and thus being subjected to Scientology's fair game terrorism tactics. Others may just not have known what to write, and to whom.... Well, if my text can assist you in your own efforts I will consider it an honor.

I know that many here on a.r.s. and lurkers too have been criminally harmed, scammed, fair-gamed, etc...by Scientology's conglomerate. They have felt themselves to be above the law for decades.

It does not help the USA or any other democratic nation to remain silent about crimes you have been subjected to or know of happening to friends, associates or family members. By your own silence you give your consent to be harmed, and encourage the criminals to harm even more people in the future.

It does not have to be that way.

Love, Michael.

To: Hon. John Ashcroft
United States Attorney General
US Dept. of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington D.C. 20530-0001
Criminal complaint, Civil Rights complaint, Request for Investigation, Request for Dept. of Justice criminal prosecution of the Church of Scientology International, International Association of Scientologists, Church of Spiritual Technology, David Miscavige, Marty Rathbun, Michael Rinder, Kendrick Moxon, Ava Paquette, Helena Kobrin, Eugene Ingram, Michael Hurtado, and further accomplices in the crimes discovered during investigations.

Honorable Attorney General, Our President, George W. Bush, while speaking in Orlando recently asked us to "help make America safer".

In line with that wish, and in response to the repeated requests by numerous members of government since September 11, 2001 I am providing you with information in the attached documents concerning some of the very un-American activities of the Church of Scientology International and its long-term continuing illegal and covertly terrorist operations. This totalitarian group, acting under a "religious" garb has the active and current intent (in line with the "Command Intention" of its late guru L. Ron Hubbard) of placing itself in a position of effective and permanent control of the United States of America, its citizens, government and assets. This is not an exaggeration. In pursuing this fanatical goal the group operatives consider themselves above the Law.

This letter also, as fully denoted in the Title, is a criminal complaint and constitutes my request for a full criminal prosecution of the illegal activities of the Church of Scientology International and its network of involved operatives.

I have been personally subjected to its terroristic and vindictive "fair game", as well as its calculated perversions of the U.S. Justice system (which have denied me my right to justice), its "tax-exempt/"charitable" funding of perjury and spurious lawsuits against me and my attorney, and its illegal machinations by private investigators and sleazy lawyers. When a group conspires to deliberately harm a citizen outside all legal frameworks that group is criminal. When it does this on the inherited orders of some idolized guru (to systematically destroy the lives of those who leave his cult) it is a fanatical criminal organization.

I had been a member of the Church of Scientology from 1973 to 1997 when I left due to finally discovering its fraud on me and the false promises and lies I had been told while a member to get me to give them, in total, about half a million dollars. I did not get the results I was promised for my money. I fought their fraud, intimidation and craziness internally from 1991 to 1997 to no avail.

All I got for my efforts was increasing attacks on my life, career and finances. That money had been hard-earned as a professional artist. It was literally all I had from over 20 years of my career. In the end I decided to sue Scientology and engaged the help of Graham E. Berry, a California attorney.

Instead of allowing the court case to proceed along the lines of United States Justice procedures the Scientology cult's covert operations department ("Office of Special Affairs" or OSA) decided to privately attack both myself and my attorney with numerous scurrilous actions designed to stop the litigation by bankrupting both of us and forcing us to dismiss it because of the resulting lack of funds. This they did and accomplished in 1999. They had attacked my career connections, business contacts, friends, jobs and income sources by paid operatives over a total of six years . Attacking my attorney was designed to deprive me of my rights to a fair trial as plaintiff and to deprive him of victory in the case on my behalf. My case is a very valid one and must have scared the Scientology cult into perpetrating more "outlaw" activities to prevent it from ever going to trial and to stop their crimes from going on the public record.

Full details and factual history of these actions are included in the Los Angeles Court records (and in Mr. Berry's own criminal complaint that he is sending to you), so I will keep things simple by not repeating them here. I have, however, included relevant background information, as posted to the internet in my attachments to this complaint.

Why am I sending you this complaint? One reason is because all other options of obtaining "Equal Justice Under The Law" have been exhausted in my current circumstances.

Additionally, I firmly believe that Scientology's fanatical network operating both abroad and in the USA presents a clear and present danger to the United States of America. It is a vital matter concerning a real threat to homeland security. Their methods are less about physically bombing buildings and institutions than about subverting communication systems, corporations, agencies and finances to Scientology by covert means designed to wrest control away from "We The People" and the U.S duly elected government. The so-called "church" of Scientology has already been classified as a "psycho-terrorist group" by the government of Germany. Its leaders were jailed in the late 1970s for precisely this kind of illegal activities. It continues today, and often with the very SAME internal covert operations department (Dept 20) and people doing the illegal actions as did them in the 70s (one example is Kendrick Moxon, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1970s case who is also behind many of the illegal activities today).

From my own 24-year experience in Scientology, going up to its highest levels as a client, and with the clear perception of hindsight I see that the parallels I have discovered between Scientology and other fanatical terrorist networks, such as Al Quaeda/Bin Laden are so numerous that I have drawn-up a special summary of them in an attachment to this letter. (Attachment #1). It clearly shows 75 points that characterize a terrorist group. Both Scientology and Al Quaeda have all 75 of them. I firmly believe its finances should be frozen during investigation just as has happened with similar terrorist networks.

Scientology's full-time, large staff, department 20 (OSA, or "Office of Special Affairs") indulges in 1) harassment of individuals who dare to say what they know about its scam, and 2) the implementation of projects designed to eliminate opposition to Scientology's aims by any available means, legal or illegal and 3) the perversion of the Justice System by spurious lawsuits, perjury-based court filings, campaigns of litigation overwhelm and blackmail and/or intimidation of judges and court officials.

The blackmailing and covert operations against the IRS by OSA (over 2,000 lawsuits solicited of Scientology members against the IRS as an attack strategy) in the early 1990's forcibly got Scientology it's false cloak of "religiosity". They now use this false garb to perpetrate campaigns of intimidation/fear/terror against individuals and groups on a large scale and without accountability. Using tax-exempt dollars to attack and ruin people's lives is no charitable activity! It is strikingly similar to a Mafia group.

Now Scientology is also found to have been connected to, and received funds from, the biggest Ponzi Scheme in US history (Reed Slatkin, who bilked about $530,000,000.00) from investors. This is covered at www.slatkinfraud.com. This FBI investigation is ongoing.

In April of 2001, 5 months prior to Sept. 11th, I had even posted an article accusing Scientology of terrorism to an internet newsgroup entitled "The Current War on American soil against certain American Citizens and Residents by Scientology". (Attachment #2). It clearly describes the kinds of actions that Scientology uses to terrorize those who have seen through their fraud and want justice, such as myself.

Scientology just hopes that their own brand of domestic and international terrorism will go "unnoticed" until it is too late for countries to do much about it. Greece caught OSA in the act and banned Scientology from Greece. OSA, the network of covert operatives, know no limits in their arrogant audacity to infiltrate, get leverage over positions of power and insert its agenda into governing agencies.

Their published aim, dictated by Hubbard, is world-domination by Scientology and the ELIMINATION OF ANY AND ALL non-Scientology entities, non-compliant citizens, non-Hubbard technologies and all non-Scientology based governments. This sounds crazy, but it is true, and may be easily inspected as to its veracity. Such claims are in writing and easily available. They are just like the Taliban, who think they have all the answers and want to force the world by any and all means to adopt their agenda.

Scientology's armed and protected compound in Hemet, Riverside County, California is a main base of secret operations in the USA. It is called "Gold Base" locally. It has a "front" as a filming studio, and they do make films for members, but it is also their secret operations base for strategic planning. The effective head of the multiple networks of Scientology resides there (David Miscavige).

Their other "churches" (really cult-related businesses) act as cash cows to finance the management in its secret activities that even the most senior "public" Scientologists do not know about. The top Scientology celebrities (Travolta, Cruise, Presley) do not even hear about such things. I know about some of them as I have been on the "receiving end" of them. Since 1997 I have also had a chance to study Scientology's activities very extensively. Many other aspects of this are available on the internet in the vast and informative "groups.Google.com" archives of the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology. For convenience, it has its own search engine.

I am not a lawyer, so law and litigation intricacies are over my head, but I do rely upon the Dept of Justice now to assist me in seeing justice is done.

From the time I crossed swords with Scientology on my own matters in 1991 I have had a truly awful time trying to get justice for myself.

It has been a devastatingly harrowing and very trying experience.

I was inflicted with emotional distress by campaigns of false data and innuendo by OSA both in France and the USA.

The way Scientology deals with people who see through its scam is to go after them, using the money it gets from its scams on its trusting clients as well as tax-exempt funds, and driving them into financial, social, and professional ruin, per Hubbard's orders.

The targeting of citizens of the USA for harassment, ruin, covert operations etc because they go against Scientology's plans is by no means limited to just a few people. Thousands can attest and testify to this. Many are named on alt.religion.scientology, and many others are too afraid to come forward.

It is my sincere hope, by the filing of this criminal complaint, that the criminal elements of the Scientology cult will be brought to justice and that America will be made safe from its infiltration, subversion and domination both now and in the future.

Mr. Attorney General, I thank you for your kind attention to this matter, and I remain at the disposition of your Department, as well as any other U.S. government or law enforcement agency that needs my assistance in making America safer.

Very truly yours,

Michael Pattinson.
