Oakville Ontario
Monday May 28, 2001.
I returned to my home in Oakville at 1:15 PM from my
employment. As I entered my driveway I felt, once again, the prying
eyes of watchers. I glanced about and felt I had spotted Scientology
Intelligence (Office of Special Affairs) or hired PI thugs watching my
home. It would not be the first time.This was not unexpected. Keith
and I had peacefully picketed Scientology in Toronto numerous times in
the last 10 days. They had not yet come to picket my home and harass
my wife and children again. At the pickets the Scientologists had
stopped sending out its goons squad to harass me and *quietly walk
elbow to elbow with Keith Henson* discussing his conviction on
concocted OSA lies in the US. Instead, the Co$ had taken to hand
wringing, hiding and wailing to the police they were being terrorized
by our presence and the words of our signs and handouts. Keith and I
had theorized they would begin to tail us so they would have
forewarning whenever we loaded a car with Picket materials and headed
into Toronto.
But today it was not the OSA.
It was something more terrible.
Something sickening to me: Perversion of the Canadian Justice
System by a Criminally Convicted Corporation: Scientology.
At approximately 2 :15 pm Keith Henson and I were shopping at
the Oakville Place Mall. Finished, we went to my four door Protege
which was parked in the lower parking lot near the main entrance to
the Grocery store and the Mall Food Court. We were seated in the
vehicle, which was the last car in a row of cars, with the passenger
door opening onto the lane way. Immediately after I started the car,
the Oakville Police ETF executed a High Risk Take Down upon myself and
Keith Henson.
An unmarked Van blocked the rear of my car and another
unmarked van pulled up on the passenger side of the vehicle. My first
reaction was that these were Scientology paid Bounty Hunters
attempting to do a kidnapping of Keith, Then I saw the blue Flak
jackets, uniforms and badges for a moment and after that all I saw was
guns. Lots of guns.
Two Officers carrying machine guns had Keith in their sights
and were standing to the right of the car. Two more with drawn Glock
handguns had me in their line of fire. We were ordered to freeze and
keep our hands in view. Keith slowly raised his. As did I. Keith was
ordered to exit the vehicle, hands in view and to lie prone on the
ground. Keith complied without comment. He was quickly handcuffed (and
shortly thereafter gently raised to his feet.) Then an officer opened
my door and took control of me with by grip and twist of my left
wrist. I was taken from the car to the rear of the vehicle and bent
over the trunk. My pockets were emptied and fanny pack removed. I was
also handcuffed.
The Oakville Police Emergency Task Force had acted
professionally and gained total control of this situation in moments.
They were, given the circumstances, courteous and considerate of the
Grandfather they were arresting and the slightly overweight middle
aged local citizen they were detaining for the moment.
At the scene were at least six ETF officers in battle gear, at
least one of which was a woman. There were also at least three marked
cruisers, besides the two unmarked vans and another 4 to 6 uniform
Oakville uniformed cops.
There was also the leader of this High Risk Take Down; A Metro
Toronto Police Force Detective form 22 Division. I believe his name
was BonForte. The Detective was in plain clothes and questioned me
briefly to record my particulars. He made certain statements to me
which I shall not repeat at this time but have forwarded to Keiths
Legal counsel here in Canada.
The Detective stated he was executing an Immigration Canada
Warrant for Keith Hensons Arrest. And had employed the Oakville Police
ETF and Uniformed Officers to execute the warrant. Keith was to be
taken to 22 Division in Toronto and handed over to Immigration there.
I later discovered he was then to be sent to the infamous Immigration
Metro West Holding Centre at 111 Disco Rd in Etobicoke. This is near
the Toronto International Airport.
I immediately called Keiths Immigration Lawyers: Mamann and
Associates. Mr. Polton was on the case immediately and shortly
thereafter spoke with Keith and the Immigration Officer detaining him
at 22 Division.
The apparent basis of this Immigration Warrant is the
allegation Keith Henson failed to disclose to Information to
Immigration Canada, when he entered Canada on May 12, 2001. That
information was an alleged a Felony Fugitive Warrant in the US,
and/or a misdemeanor so called "hate crime" (Calif 422.6) in
California.
The fact is, Keith was not wanted at that time. And tho' he
may be wanted now for a misdemeanor flight this itself is not a
violation, according to the Lawyers.
Also, since Keith is in process of claiming Refugee Status
from Scientology oppression of Free Speech and endangerment of his
life, all backed by US Government assent, then Keiths failure "o act
with candor" and volunteer to immigration that he was convicted of a
misdemeanor in California is moot.
This arrest was a perversion of Canadian Justice.
According to Immigration and Metro Police they were acting on
a "tip from a reliable source" that Keith Henson was a danger to the
community. How ironic. Scientology lies are considered reliable. L.
Ron Hubbard was right about some things: "You can control people by
lies..." "the law can be very easily used to harass". "Find or
*manufacture* enough threat ... to ruin him utterly." " To control
local government overtly overwhelm them or covertly infiltrate and
subvert them." " Tell acceptable truths."
There was *no* justification in the law to execute this kind
of high tension *armed and dangerous* arrest. Immigration and the
Metro and Oakville police Department were acting strictly on false and
misleading information supplied to them from Criminal Scientology
sources.
Even the police at the scene finally realized that the "armed
and dangerous" grandfather Keith Henson was not threat and never was
because my car was never searched and neither has my home been
searched for any stray ICBMs .
The lies of Criminal Scientology put Officers, a citizen and a
Tourist starting a Refugee claim. at risk.
One or more officials at the Immigration or Metro and Oakville
Police has acted precipitously, without all the facts or doing all
the homework and an incredible disability which prevent the simpler
use of a phone. To call me.
The police knew Keith Henson was staying at my home. Had the
Officer In Charge of this sickeningly dangerous circus bothered to
check the CPIC system they would have found my record to be spotless.
They would have found out I qualify for Airport Security clearance.
They would have discovered I was instrumental in the arrest, trial and
conviction of my own son on minor drug trafficking offences a few
years ago. ( My son has straightened out nicely.) They would have
found out that they could have simply *called* me and asked for Keith
to surrender himself at the Oakville Police station. And it would have
been done.
The ETF action was not justified, not rational, and while
executed flawlessly was an unnecessary risk which put the lives or the
Officers,. Keith, myself and the public at large in a crowded
shopping mall parking lot all in *real* jeopardy.
And this jeopardy is the direct result of the Lies of
Criminals in the Criminal Cult of Scientology.
I think it is time for Federal , Ontario and especially
Toronto Police authorities to get off the pot and act on the
*volumes* of evidence supplied and at their disposal. Instead of
acting on the unreliable tips of Criminally Convicted Scientology ,
the Police should lay charges on the Toronto Org of Scientology and
specific members, for the known and evidentiary proven acts of
Extortion, Violent Assault, multiple acts of Criminal Harassment over
the last 10 years, Criminal Mischief , Organized Crime Gang Activity
and Trademark Infringements the Scientologists have committed.
Not "tips" but real hard evidence: victim interviews, videoed
victim statements, audio recordings of extortion threats, video
recordings of intimidation of individuals by groups of Scientology
thugs, death threats, eyewitness accounts and victim complaints of
assault, years of evidence of stalking and harassments by criminal
Scientology OSA operatives, organized libel campaigns, threats to
disrupt individuals places of employment, including public schools and
investigations of teachers and staff, deliberate terrorizing of
elderly parents and siblings of those critical to Scientology in
Canada, video recordings of Scientology hate crimes against
gay/bisexual critics, false statements by Scientology to Police and
other *real* evidence.
Maybe I should just call in an anonymous tip and claim
Scientology has ICBMs. Why not? It worked for the Criminally Convicted
Cult of Greed and Power.
What is really ironic is that cash strapped Metro Toronto is
partly funding these documented criminal activities by the Criminal
Cult. Toronto has given and apparently continues to grant Scientology
a 50% property tax break on their Yonge and St Mary property. A
property which is mainly used to retail and run quid pro quo workshops
called "courses" and "processing" etc. The US Supreme court, in 1993,
and basing its decision on English common law, ruled that Scientology
"courses and processes" were a profit making enterprise and should be
taxed. (This was subsequently infamously ignored by the US IRS and
weak willed Congress/Senate). Charities Division of the former Revenue
Canada did not grant Scientology Religious Charity Status in part
because Scientology eschews charity as "rewarding the downstat" . As
did the Tax authorities in Great Britain.
Perhaps Ottawa, Ontario and especially authorities in Toronto
are less interested in justice and fair play in the courts and in the
division of property tax liabilities than tackling the infamously
litigious well heeled and very criminal cult of Scientology. After all
why pull the tail of the skunk? Scientology is too small a fraud and
too loud an opponent to bother with, eh?
Maybe if the politcos had ETF guns shoved in their faces
because of Scientology lies they would get the moral backbone to do
their jobs, difficult as that might be.
This mess is going public with the high profile Immigration
Law Firm of Mamann and Associates acting for Keith Henson. And a lot
of red faces are likely on the Federal and Toronto political scene
when it is shown they were duped once more by Canada's only Criminally
Convicted "Church": Scientology.
