When you have read my letter from November 20th, which I have posted on the Internet a few minutes ago, you know now that I have reported Robert Minton to US federal authorities for money laundering.

I decided to do this after I became aware of what happened during the Lisa Mcpherson proceedings during May and June, and especially when I read about the meeting where Rosen presented Minton a "bill" of $ 34 million. I will file this particular complaint during the upcoming week, then you will see what I have done.

I know that some of you, with whom together I demonstrated against Scientology, regard Minton as a friend. If you hate me now for what I did, I cannot help it. But I did what I did, because I thought it was the right thing to do.

Needless to say, I did not file the complaint to get money from Minton, nor did I work on behalf of Brian Haney. The complaint 1 + 2, the archiving of Scientology documents were done under my own responsibility.

I can understand how it could look that way Martin and I have no hard feelings at all, that that situation and the sell out allegations became the legal startegy was just a play out of the legal playbook...

Bob and Stacy are out of the war and off the front lines, and I wish them a very happy new years, and am grateful for all the help they provided for so many folks including funding the Lisa McPherson case to the tune of 2 million.

As neither desire to be players in the current war for truth about scientology any longer, perhaps we can put all this acrimony behind us and get on with exposing the true nature of scientology.

Somewhere in Scientology, tonight, there is a kid crying in a dark corner, wishing he was home but unable to escape the cameras, guards and fences , trying to break free of the mental prison of lies that L Ron Hubbard built.

Lets do what we are good at.

Thank you for your recent postings... and continuing efforts.

Sincerely

Arnie Lerma Founder Citizens Against Corruption

Ferengi + Borg = Scientology I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak.

The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers The internet is the liberty tree of the new millennium Secrets are the mortar binding lies as bricks together into prisons for the mind http://www.lermanet.com - mentioned 4 January 2000 in The Washington Post's - 'Reliable Source' column re "Scientologist with no HEAD"
