[Before 1400 DMT.]

On our Scientology Ops page we've webbed a set of OSA "Swearinger Invest" documents that were authenticated by Vicki Aznaran.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/scientology-ops-docs.html#swearinger

These few pages are perhaps a billionth of the amount of intelligence material Scientology has amassed, but they provide a useful insight into its intel ops, and validate what Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald Swearinger stated that he believed the cult was doing.

The documents relate to an "investigation" of William Swearinger, the son of Judge Swearinger, who presided over the 1986 trial of Lawrence Wollersheim v. Scientology, LASC case no. C332027.

Vicki authenticated the documents in a declaration that she executed June 29, 1993 and which was filed in support of Wollersheim's successful SLAPP special motion to strike in Scientology v.

Wollersheim, LA SC No. BC074815.

[Quote]

3. During the 1984-87 period, Scientology operated a number of "dirty tricks" operations out of the office of Special Affairs (OSA), including one called MFTC (for "Mission Find The Crimes") and the "WOLLY" unit (which targeted Lawrence Wollersheim, his attorneys, and his case). The orders for these operations would go directly from OSA to private investigators, although Scientology deceitfully tries to cloak such operations under "attorney-client privilege".

4. MFTC and the WOLLY unit each had about 8-10 staff, and engaged in whatever dirty tricks were necessary to attack people and entities which were considered to be "enemies" of Scientology. The dirty tricks they used included destruction of evidence, theft of documents, illegal surveillance or bugging, blackmail, bribery, physical assault and other intimidation, securing perjured testimony. MFTC's mssion was to find or manufacture crimes for "enemies" of Scientology.

5. Before and during the trial in Wollersheim v Church of Scientology of California, MFTC and WOLLY ran a number of operations directed against Wollersheim, his counsel, and the Court. One of these operations was an attempt to put pressure on Bill Swearinger, the son of the trial judge in the Wollersheim case, based on his alleged homosexuality. The idea was to dig up, or manufacture (perhaps by setting the son up in a compromising sexual position with a minor boy), dirt on the son which could be used to pressure the Judge to rule favorably for Scientology, or else to get the Judge disqualified.

6. Attached as Exhibit A is a true copy of an internal Scientology memorandum, dated 6/21/86, which discusses this "Swearinger Investigation". I received a hard copy of this document at about that time, and I believe I also received a copy of this document on my computer. The Linda referred to on the first page is Linda Hamil, who at the time ran the MFTC. The Marty referred to on the first page is Marty Rathbun, a top Scientology "intelligence" official, who ran this operation.

7. Scientology's "ambush interview", discussed in Exhibit A, makes the Mike Wallace/60 Minutes interview called by the same name look tame.

The "ambush interview" generally involves doing whatever it takes -- threats, physical force, bribery, or whatever -- to get an unprepared and unsuspecting target to say what is wanted.

Wollersheim's motion to strike Scientology's complaint was successful, and upheld on appeal http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/wollersheim/42cal.app.4th.628.html

Vicki also mentions in deposition the cult took on May 9, 1989 that she told the FBI about the operation against the Swearingers.

[Quote]

Q. And what did you tell the FBI about the first judge on the Wollersheim case?

A. Well, supposedly he had a son who was homosexual, and there was some -- some operation with the son's boyfriend, which was brought up to the Judge in order to try to get rid of that Judge, if --

Q. Do you recall any more --

A. I believe that's what I told him, the drift of it, anyway.

Note the Judge's son Bill Swearinger's reaction to the cult's operation:

[Quote]

A definite impingement was made from the actions taken -- Bill Swearinger phoned Tim Bowles at 4:45 today and said the following:

that Al Bei of Ingram investigations was asking his neighbors and his clients questions about the veracity of Royce Walker, was very upset, and said he wants it to stop immediately. He wants to end cycle on this escapade on his knowledge of the Judge's prejudice "once and for all".

.....

He said that if we can't come to an immediate resolution on this, is he going to take "self-help". He specificaly mentioned buying a gun

[End Quote]

Note the cult's "next action" in response to Bill Swearinger's reaction:

[Quote]

Have the confrontation with Swearinger and get him to tell the truth about this matter. If he insists he is being truthful, have him drag in Royce to confess, and Francovich can be there too.

[End Quote] http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-invest-1986-06-21.html

Here, during the Wollersheim trial in front of Judge Swearinger, as a result of the cult's dirty op, the Judge's son, very upset, calls Scientology lawyer Timothy Bowles, pleads to have the cult stop it immediately, and says he's going to buy a gun, presumably for manslaughter or suicide. The cult celebrates the "definite impingement," and continues the op.

Scientology's dirty tricks department is willing and enthusiastic to drive a judge's son to murder or suicide. Just how believable is it that they wouldn't drown the judge's dog or slash his tires?

Note the reference to and target for Caryl Warner.

[Quote]

It was found that Caryl Warner does still practice law and works out of 6922 Hollywood - Suite 500 - a full schedule every day. However a check made on Thursday revealed that he was out until Monday so no pretext interview has yet been done.

.....

Pull down Caryl Warner string through pretext interview.

.....

Pull down strings on any possible relationship between Swearinger and Caryl Warner (work in same suite though different offices) - through pretext interview.

[End Quote] http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-invest-1986-06-21.html

Caryl Warner was Sara Northrup Hubbard's attorney during her divorce from Hubbard in 1951.

Note the plant or informer the cult has in the Superior Court during the Wollersheim trial. Presumably the court reporter being targeted is in Judge Swearinger's Courtroom.

[Quote]

The line to the secretary to get further data from the court reporter ran into a logisitics snag and will need to be done Monday.

.....

Use secretary resource who has a good line already to the court reporters to find out anything further on the cash payment cycle, i.e.

was the judge irritated, who else may have been there, etc.

[End quote]

Note the typical Scientological identification of their targets by sexual orientation.

[Quote]

Find out where Casey Klinger was the weekend 9 - 10 - 11 May, i.e.

whether he was in Palm Springs or not. (pretext has been worked out to get this.) If in Palm Springs, get identity of the two fags they were with.

[End Quote]

The "ODC I/C" on the report of Ingram's interview of Casey Lee Klinger and Michael Rominello is the Overt Data Collection In-Charge.

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-ingram-int-1986-06-22.html There will also be a Covert Data Collection operation paralleling this ODC.

Note the cult's use of a PI in New York to call Rominello in LA as part of this op.

[Quote]

that Rominello had gotten a call from someone in NY asking about whether Royce was invovled in Porno films, and that Rominello called back and the firm had never heard of the person who'd called. (This was a PI call.) (That also came up in the Royce Walker depo.)

[End Quote]

Note the "Mlv, Mo" on these four ODC reports:

http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-embinder-1986-05-16.html http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-klinger-1986-05-16.html http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-varsity-1986-05-16.html http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/swearinger-tomar-lampert-1986-06-05.html

Is there any chance this is not the Mo who was one of the Eleven Stooges in Hubbard's production of Operation Snow White?
