Scientology Criminal Activity Report
Day 2, page 23, Clearwater Commission Hearings, L Ron Hubbard's son speaking under oath: http://www.lermanet.com/82cwcommission/2-021-040.htm "my father always felt that he was above the law because he had created the law. He created whatever rules, regulations, and laws to be lived by. There was only one sin in Scientology, which was repeated to me at least a few thousand times, which is, getting caught."
22 October 2008, From long time activist Jeff Jacobsen: "I hadn't noticed this reply in my blog to a post I made about Artur Solomonyan, the guy who said he came to the US on a (Scientology based) religious workers visa, then sold weapons to an FBI informant." The original reply is from Jeff's Blog HERE"I spent 14 months incarcerated with Artur Solomonyan, at MDC, Brooklyn. I can assure you that he was a strong believer in Scientology, he even tried to convert me to it. He gave me a few books starting with the basics in belief. One thing i can say about the man, he was very smart, he knew how to convince people. During our stay together he told me stories of how all this started, he was set up by the informant, the informant even told him where to purchase the weapons here in the USA. He purchased the weapons from an undercover Agent and re-sold them to the informant in hopes of getting a green card. One thing I never understood was this man believed in Scientology, yet he still claimed to be a christian and he truly believed in the Trinity and that Jesus died for mans sins, he also believed that no man will enter paradise except through Jesus. So I guess that Scientology thing was just a front to get a visa to come to America." robot translation of France Info news item. Scientology again called into question after the suicide of a follower ... 29 October - the children of Gloria Lopez will file suit against Scientology for the suicide of their mother. She was a secretary in Paris, had divorced years ago, spent the divorce money and a large part of an inheritance she got later in the scam, then she went in the station near her flat, and went under a train, doing a large smile to the train driver. What she had in her pockets was certainly linking her suicide to scientology. France Info - 09-26-08 Gloria Lopez was 47 years old when she was given the death. According to Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France, which tells the tragedy this morning, in letters written before she died, she explained that she felt guilty for having squandered money from an inheritance to pay training in the Church of Scientology, classified as a sect by parliamentarians, and it reached more to repay the money she had borrowed more. According to Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui in France the information had taken the matter seriously: May 20 last, in a confidential note quoted by Le Parisien, investigators alerted the authorities about maneuvers to destabilize the family of the suicide . Basically, an intermediary had offered money to the family to buy his silence. When he refused, there were various attempts at intimidation, including a pseudo-morality investigation against the former husband teacher to cast doubt on his attitude to her students and her own children. Today, her two children in Paris say they will go through to establish the truth, they will complain to recognize the responsibility of Scientology in the suicide of their mother.

In 1997 a former member of the Church of Scientology, unhappy with courses she had taken, tried to get a refund of 700,000 Belgian francs - about $17,000. Authorities began looking into the church's finances and interviewing people. Now, 10 years and 76 cartons of documents later, prosecutors say the evidence points to one conclusion: The Church of Scientology in Belgium is a "criminal organization" that has used fraud and extortion to separate members from their money.

Belgium indicts Scientology as a Criminal Organization
[footnote] (1) According to Belgian law, a criminal organization is: Spain - Criminal Indictment 1993
Excerpt: (emphasis in boldface by Arnie Lerma)
David Miscavige bragged during a public appearance at one of Scientology's Reich-like meetings, that:
What David Miscavige was alluding to was that all of the complainant's in that case had been successfully bought off by Scientology. - Scientology's first contact of this activist, was shortly after I received and posted a copy of the Spanish Criminal Indictment linked above to the newsgroup Alt.religion.scientology, a story about scientology's intimidation tactics appeared in the Washington post on Christmas Day 1994..by writer Richard Leiby, if you have not read this one, please do, as it is a great read and was my first exposure in major media about my efforts to expose Scientology, now to get back to what occurred..
A man named John Caban, who had been a Scientologist and made beautiful handcrafted jewelry was one of the complainant's in this case.. John Caban called me, Arnie Lerma, from Spain, a number of times, letting me know what was going on during the case. He would never allow what he would tell me to be posted publicly, but wanted evidently to tell someone, which is a very human response to stressful happenings. He also did not want Scientology to know that he was in contact with me, a leader of the cause, as he was being pressured - intimidated.. coerced.. harassed.. in an effort to silence him.
In John Caban's last telephone call to me, his voice was desperate and fearful, he lamented that Scientology had run extraordinary dirty tricks operations on he and all the other original complainant's... and that at this time, all the rest had succumbed to Scientology's relentless psychological operations. Scientology uses East German type stazi psychological type harassments..also called 'gas lighting' and create incidents.. even going so far as to set up relatives and business associates, like they did to Robert Minton's.. for criminal crimes... when their harassment reaches a peak and when they detect any sign of weakness from the one they are targeting, they will then.. offer to stop the harassment, and provide a cash payment.. This is, as Lawrence Wollersheim, the Founder of FACTNET ( see Factnet.org ) describes it and I assure you Lawrence does know what he is talking about, having been in constant litigation with scientology for a quarter of a century..as "the carrot and the stick" settlement offer.
John Caban lamented that he was now the last complainant left who had not been coerced into selling his soul to scientology to end the harassment. He told me that he could not take it any more, though he was trying very hard to hold the line. To honor my promise to John Caban, I cannot specify the things that scientology did to cause him to give it up.
After discussing this with my friend and fellow ex-memberJoe Harrington, he let slip in a posting to ARS some of things John had told me, and I never heard from John Caban again.
What I want readers of this missive to know and understand with absolute conviction, is what David Miscavige meant, when he said: This is the ONLY part of Scientology that does work.. or at least used to, until 1996, when Lawrence Wollersheim, Bob Penny and myself refused their 9 to 12 million dollar BRIBE for SILENCE.
Hush-Hush Money
An anti-Scientology activist claims that the church made him an offer he had to refuse: $12 million. BY ALAN PRENDERGAST - WEST WORLD
August 14, 1997
After more than seventeen years of litigation, Lawrence Wollersheim knows that talk isn't cheap--not when you're talking to lawyers and your life's work happens to involve badmouthing the Church of Scientology. But the price of silence is even higher. Too high, in Wollersheim's estimation, which is why he says he walked away from an alleged settlement offer by the church that would have netted him and a few colleagues $12 million in exchange for abandoning their crusade against Scientology.
