Volume 4, Issue 43 - February 6 2000 :

Lawrence Wollersheim A filing in California court and three affidavits were posted to a.r.s this week in the case of Lawrence Wollersheim, trying to get paid for a judgment against the Church of Scientology of California, which was disbanded to prevent paying the judgment.

"Respondents spend much paper on largely incompetent, self-serving and/or demonstrably false declarations, in an absurd effort to make themselves seem the victims of Mr. Wollersheim. This, despite the fact that both CSI and RTC have verifiably spent over a decade, and untold millions of dollars, devising and executing novel ways of keeping Mr.

Wollersheim tied up in the courts. They did this while the present case was in its pre-trial phase, and they have done it without pause ever since. Quite obviously, there is only one reason why: to avenge Mr. Wollersheim's lawsuit against CSC. Just as before, CSI's opposition actually adds to the mass of evidence supporting plaintiff's alter ego claim. The most blatant example of this regards Attorney William Drescher, who now represents CSI in opposition to the renewed motion but has previously represented CSC in this same case.

Mr. Drescher represented CSC's President Levin at his 1995 deposition, held in connection with Mr. Wollersheim's collection effort. Seven months earlier, in October 1994, Mr. Drescher had also argued -- unsuccessfully -- on CSC's behalf that there was no existing judgment.

"CSI's effort to defeat Mr. Wollersheim's motion rests mainly on the declaration of CSC's president, Neil Levin. In it, Levin boldly swears '[n]o employee, officer or director of RTC or CSI participated in formulating trial strategy or defense tactics in this matter.' Given Mr. Levin's seeming certainty in this regard, it should be inconceivable that CSI's president, Heber Jentzsch, would have been videotaped in the wake of the trial, mocking the jury and its $30 million verdict against CSC, in front of an audience of Scientologists -- and disclosing details of the post-trial strategy. Yet, that is precisely what happened, as Mr. Wollersheim's new, irrefutable video evidence shows.

"In the videotape, Jentzsch implicitly acknowledges having been present at the trial ('we could hear your shouts of 'Religious Freedom Now' through the walls on the fourteenth floor!'). And, there can be no mistake about what CSI's Jentzsch means when he talks of injustice committed against 'us' -- or about the follow-up measures undertaken by 'our legal people.' Moreover, despite doggedly insisting it was uninvolved in financing CSC's defense, CSI fails to even address -- much less rebut -- evidence showing that funds for Scientology litigation, including CSC's, came from a 'central reserve system' run by CSI staff members.

Indeed, CSI cannot rebut this evidence, because it was taken directly from its own petition for tax-exempt status submitted to the IRS.

"Having solidly demonstrated CSI's status as CSC's alter ego in this case, Plaintiff Wollersheim respectfully submits that his motion to amend the judgment must, in equity, be granted."

"I, Jesse Prince declare as follows:

"From the very beginning, through indoctrination from these courses, I learned that the Sea Org managed all Scientology Organizations and related entities such as Scientology Missions International (SMI), World Institute of Scientology Enterprise (WISE) and Narconon, to name a few.

"Until his death in 1986, L. Ron Hubbard was the unchallenged dictator of the entire Scientology enterprise. L. Ron Hubbard designated himself 'Commodore'. In the hierarchy of the Sea Org, 'Commodore' is the highest rank. Next in authority in the Sea Org hierarchy are the 'Commodore's Messengers.' L. Ron Hubbard authored Flag Order 3729, also known as Executive Directive 106 Commodore's Messenger Organization (CMO), entitled 'Commodore's Messengers.' He designated his 'messengers' as emissaries of himself. There is a hierarchy within the Commodore's Messengers Organization. The top messenger, also known as the 'Commanding Officer,' commands and orders all other messengers within the organization of messengers. The top Commodore's Messenger in Scientology is David Miscavige. There are also subordinate 'In Charge' positions within the messenger organization.

"There is also a hierarchy among the different messenger organizations. The most senior messenger organization in all of the different messenger organizations is 'The Religious Technology Center' (RTC). The next command level below RTC is called 'The International Watchdog Committee.' The Watchdog Committee was created with the purpose of overseeing the activities of the Guardian's Office and Scientology management bodies in order to 'keep Scientology working.' It is a senior management committee that manages all sectors of Scientology, i.e., all Sea Organizations, all Scientology Organizations International, and related Scientology entities such as Scientology Missions International (SMI), and World Institute of Scientology Enterprise, International (WISE). The next level of hierarchical authority within the messenger organizations and Scientology Enterprise is the 'Commodore's Messengers Organization International' (COMINT). This body executes the orders and commands of the Watchdog Committee, and manages and supervises the many other Commodore's Messenger Organizations within the United States and abroad. Next in the chain of hierarchy is the Office of the Executive Director International (EDINT).

"Until the reorganization of 1982, in which RTC was formed, it had been CSC that registered the trademarks for Scientology. RTC was specifically created to take over that function from CSC. As far as I know, ASI took over the function of overseeing the copyrights."

"During my tenure with RTC, I have been privy to the destruction and alteration of documents to protect the group. For example, on or about April of 1983 I was present at a meeting, which took place in Los Angeles, California at a Scientology office called Author Services, Inc.. ASI presented itself as the 'literary agency' for Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. In reality it was actually where the Scientology empire was being run from at that time. All of Scientology was being directed from ASI in 1983. Present at this particular meeting was David Miscavige, then acting under the title of chairman of the board of ASI, Vicki Aznaran then the Deputy Inspector General of Religious Technology Center, and Lymon Spurlock, who was 'Director of Client Affairs' for ASI. Mr. Miscavige expressed concern at this meeting that there might possibly be a raid on Scientology by the IRS.

At that time, none of the churches of Scientology had received tax exempt status.

"David Miscavige specifically stated that ASI was 'already dealing with the problem', ridding ASI of any documents that would implicate L. Ron Hubbard as managing agent of Scientology. He stated that under his directive the LRH orders, or 'advices', were being collected and transferred by truck to a Riverside County recycling plant where the documents were to be 'pulped'. I was also given instructions that I was in charge of purging the remainder of the Scientology organization of LRH orders. This was to include Church of Scientology of California; Church of Scientology International; and RTC.

"During the time I was on the Board of Directors of RTC, (1983 to 1987) I attended numerous legal strategy sessions that dealt with this case Wollersheim v. Church of Scientology case. Most of these legal strategy sessions took place in the boardroom at Author's Services, Inc. The general legal strategy of Scientology both before and after the Wollersheim judgment was rendered against the Church of Scientology of California was to make the case so complex and expensive that it would go on forever and Mr. Wollersheim would never be able to collect 'One Thin Dime'.

"It is incumbent on this and every court, as well as the authorities, to realize the amount of deception, chicanery, lying, manipulation and outright criminality that Scientology will employ to hide the truth about their criminal activities. They will spend any amount of money to do this. I know because I was part of it for years. I received orders to break the law, and then I helped to hide these criminal activities just as they are hiding them now. Scientology developed a daunting corporate structure.

This structure was designed to confuse those outside of the organization. In reality, corporate names and boundaries were meaningless. Control was centralized in one person. During his lifetime until his death in 1986 that person was L. Ron Hubbard. After his death, all control of Scientology vested and remains in David Miscavige. The one thing that all of us had in common is that we were all members of the Sea Organization.

The Sea Organization, or 'Sea Org' is a paramilitary type organization that virtually governs all of Scientology under guidance of David Miscavige.

"A huge part of Scientology's legal strategy in the Wollersheim case was to hide the fact that RTC and CSI were intimately involved in the day-by-day direction of CSC's defense and to make the case so complex, obtuse and expensive that no one would conceivably be able to get past all the phony legal issues that Scientology was raising to peal away the corporate layers and actually collect on the judgment. If this case is dismissed on the basis of laches, this cynical strategy will indeed have defeated both Mr. Wollersheim and the entire non-Scientology legal system."

"I, Robert Vaughn Young declare as follows:

"Scientology is seeking to deceive this court regarding two primary targets: that the Sea Organization is a loose-knit 'fraternal organization' with no role in management; and that David Miscavige has no role or position as it relates to the management of Scientology or control over this case. The Sea Organization is the nexus that permeates all Scientology 'orgs' and violates all Scientology corporate structures and David Miscavige has controlled it since 1982.

"One of the first sleights of hand that Scientology tries to effect on the courts is equating 'Scientology' with 'The Church of Scientology.' 'Scientology' includes Churches of Scientology but it also includes non-church organizations. 'The Command Channels of Scientology' is a booklet that was issued to all Scientologists. First, the court should first note that this does not say 'Command Channels of the Church of Scientology'. In their own perspective, 'Scientology' is more than the 'church.' Second, this describes the COMMAND CHANNELS. According to the Scientology dictionary (and a Hubbard policy letter), 'command channels' has a specific definition: 'COMMAND CHANNEL, 1.

(communications routing) command channels go up through seniors over to a senior and down to a junior. Or they go up through all seniors.

It is used upward for unusual permission or authorizations or information or important actions or compliance. Downward it is used for orders. 2. Junior to senior to senior's senior or on down.' This definition shows there are senior echelons and junior echelons and they operate in a military manner. The senior echelon issues orders and the junior echelon must comply. The Sea Organization is central to this structure. They have their own command and compliance channels and they have tried to hide these facts from this court.

"An attempt is being made by Plaintiff to cast the Sea Organization as a harmless, loose-knit fraternal organization on the order of the Elks or Shriners with no authority or control of Scientology. This is a lie and is proved by Scientology's own documents. Calling it a 'fraternal order' was something that came about later to hide its actual function from the courts and the authorities. Scientology's own documents show that the Sea Org is a tough, elite, tight-knit organization that has the authority to move into and take over any organization on the 'Command Chart of Scientology,' regardless of corporate lines.

"Defendant and other Scientology officials have sought to lower the profile of the Sea Organization and hide its role. For example, when applying for their tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS'), the Church of Scientology International was asked to explain the Sea Org and it replied: 'The Sea Organization is a religious order consisting solely of members who have pledged themselves to one billion years of service to Scientology. The Sea Organization is not incorporated, nor is it an unincorporated association, and it has no formal or informal ecclesiastical or other management structure.

Despite its name, the Sea Organization is not an 'organization' or an 'entity.' It has no income, disbursements, assets or liabilities.' It has been shown by their own documents that this is a complete lie: the Sea Org is an actual organization that not only manages organizations but has 'unlimited powers' to take over any organization."
