Evidentiary Fact: ~
D. The Church of Scientology in pursuit of its goal of control and ownership of the City of Clearwater, has infiltrated governmental offices and agencies and private enterprise.
The Commission received and considered over 300 pages of material seized from headquarters of the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles in the summer of 1977. These documents specifically evidence plans to infiltrate, actual infiltrations, spying, sabotage, and other illegal activities and dirty tricks against public officials, private citizens, and public and private organizations in the Clearwater area, including newspapers, television stations, the mayor's office, the State Attorney's Office, numerous .departments of the city and county, and various federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and various judicial officials. All of said plans and activities were conducted in strict secrecy.
The documents also describe false information campaigns, including malicious libel, slander, and rumor mongering activities against public and private officials. Many of the above activities were specifically intended to influence public officials in the conduct of their duties. Other activities, including use of false front organizations to purchase real estate, were intended to avoid government regulation altogether and to obstruct justice. Furthermore, the documents establish that all of the above activities, intended to disrupt the functions of nearly every public and private organization in Clearwater were officially sanctioned and generously financed by the Church of Scientology as an organization, and not by errant Scientologists. The documents also demonstrate a pattern of investigating the personal backgrounds of public officials and their families and malicious use of that information in attempts to influence public officials in the conduct of their duties.

Ben Shaw is a liar, as usual. Jeff Jacobsen said Source #100 includes an article about turning Clearwater into a "Scientology city."
"In 1975 Scientology snuck into Clearwater under the guise of United Churches of Florida and bought the landmark Ft. Harrison Hotel and the old bank building in the downtown area. They tried to take over the town with such secret projects as Operation Normandy. They tried to destroy then mayor Gabe Cazares with such secret projects as Project Tacoless and Speedy Gonzales. These actions came to light after the FBI raided Scientology in 1977 and confiscated thousands of documents, including these, and got convictions against Scientology's leaders for conducting the largest infiltration of the federal government in history. Since then, Scientology has continued its attempts to take control of Clearwater through overt and covert activities. In fact, Scientology magazine Source, issue 100, lists making Clearwater the first Scientology city as one of the cult's major projects."
