Scientology goes to great lengths to make sure that attorneys will consider scientology litigation to be more trouble than it is worth
Because everything scientology does regarding what we take for granted as 'free speech' is in pursuit of silence, being silent, in effect, makes you a scientologist. http://www.lermanet.com/scientologyscandals/silence.htm
And the first step to becoming a Scientologist, is the first time you believe one of Scientology's lies, whether it is a "Stress Test" or the depopularizing of this activist.
Attorney David Bardine gave a presentaion 8 years ago at an anti cult conference and said that the atrocities committed by cults against individuals would continue until such time as there was a war chest of sufficient size to make seeking justice in america feasable.
People have to feed their familys.
Lawyers expect to be paid well.
One can only work for free for so long before one nolonger has a roof over one's head.
Flynn brought some effective litigation, but finally couldnt take it anymore, because the cost / benefit ( the expenses generated by Scientology) made it a road to financial ruin.
Most people do not get it, do not understand that if Scientology is to be dismembered in search of justice for ripped off members, it will take a lot of money.
And even with money one will not allways succeed.
In a game called litigation in america when those with the deepest pockets ( and most blackmail) win.
One time multi millionaire Robert Minton was driven out of the battle, Scientology spent over 30 million dollars on "Bob"...
The concierge of a hotel was bribed with $50,000 to copy every piece paper in Robert Minton's ex-business-partner's office. The material was examined by RTC/OSA and sent to Inland Revenue... all this to bring pressue on Robert Minton to stop funding litigation and ex-members efforts to expose $cientology.
Read just SOME of what Bob Minton had to endure, and while reading it, as yourself how long could you have stood up? http://www.lermanet.com/persecution/stacybrooks.htm
Lawrence Wollersheim is still in court battling to get his money. While a legal aid who might have done $100K of work for Lawrence, is trying to get millions out of him, - so LAwrence wont get any. That litigation team behind this gal appears to have very deep pockets...
If you havent noticed, everything is for sale in america to the highest bidder.
Until another Robert Minton (or a hopefully a few of them) come forward, make contact with ex-members to arrange funding discreetly (this time) .. so as to stay out of the Scientological dirty tricks kill zone, both and you and I will be sitting here bitching about how bad scientology is...
Cause God knows, if I won the lottery, Id see that Scientology was sued into the stone age.
Im very happy to have endured all I have endured, and still be able and willing to type about it in hopes someone , somewhere, will understand the opportunity we have now, today, who has deep enough pockets, and a strong enough moral fibre, and the heart of a warrior, and the soul of a hero, AND will stay out of the limelight, cause there are a boatload of ex-sea org members and ripped off ex-members of scientology ( and other mind control cults, and scams) who at this point, and this time, have little to lose, having already had thier lives stolen by the King of CONs http://www.lermanet.com/LRonHubbard4.htm money raking machinery,and would prefer to at least go down fighting for justice than go down in a silent whimper.
