As per a posting I just made on WWP here is an update:

http://forums.whyweprotest.net/123-leak ... ded-45533/

An amended complaint has now been made in the legal action of Laura DeCrescenzo vs. the church of scientology international.

A copy of the newly amended complaint can be found at:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/15348562/1st- ... NT-Laura-A

Laura's complaint has been amended to add a claim for fraud because evidence is now at hand that organized scientology knew their "staff" documents would not be enforceable or effective, but used them anyway to intimidate employees.

Also, additional law including federal law has been added to the human trafficking claim, a subsection addressing the freeloader debt has been added, and a very useful California Supreme Court case has been added to the mix.

The complaint is very long and much of it has not been changed except for cosmetic reasons. Most of the changes and additions are in paragraphs 10, 14, 22-26, 42, 48, 51, 71-77, and 101-end.

Apparently there will be irrefutable testimony showing the fraud behind these agreements going back to the mid 70s and including people directly involved in same who actually worked with the diminished one who knows all about it. IMHO one person especially, whose name I will not mention but his initials are "David Miscavige", knew about the fraud all along and gave orders to perpetuate it.

As I understand it, this fraud charge is indeed quite serious, not to mention the other matters referred to above.

Much more is coming but this is an update to go with Marc's update on his own suit.

I do believe that the perfect shitstorm is forming in the western skies.

So just who is this person? Larry, can you please give us more than just the initials David Miscavige?

*****
I am confident that the court will rule that what we critics have been saying all along is true: DM needs to be imprisoned or locked up in a mental institution.

Vongole's prescient shoop of 3 December 2007 serves to remind us that DM's criminal regime is collapsing while he hides in his bunker and moves non-existent armies around a map table. DM would be smarter to spend his time packing his suitcases.

Swift, I am sure DM's bags have been packed for a long time now. I'm sure that remote South African estate is looking pretty good to him.

Larry, Thanks for the update. I am sooo looking forward to David Miscavige being deposed in this case, and ultimately paying for his crimes.

Sorry. I just wanted to see how those bits would look bold and bright red.

I think I like it.

Thanks for sharing this new development, Larry.

DAVID MISCAVIGE! You are going to become very familiar with,"R.I.C.O".

Wieber · **Joined:** Tue May 23, 2006 10:57 pm **Posts:** 8406

Ah yes, R.I.C.O. The acronym stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

A good overview of it can be found here.

The relationship to the acronym and this guy

has neither been confirmed nor denied.

Thanks for the update, SME! (And thanks for all you do.)

Glad to see Paragraph 25 in there about Freeloader Debts:

First Amended Complaint in Laura DeCrescenzo v. CSI wrote:

25) The supposed debt for purported Scientology training and services is called Freeloader Debt. Defendant CSI uses the threat of Freeloader Debt as economic coercion to keep employees working under harsh and illegal working conditions. Employees are lead to believe and reminded that if they quit working for Scientology, in this case Defendant CSI, they will owe and be required to pay a substantial debt. When you have been working for 50¢ per hour, have little formal education and no employment history outside of Scientology, as was Plaintiff’s situation, a typical Freeloader Debt of $80,000 - $120,000 is staggering and very intimidating. Also, if you do not pay this Freeloader Debt, you can be declared an enemy of the church and “disconnected” from friends and family. The Freeloader Debt practice is illegal, intimidating and coercive to employees such as Plaintiff.

After my first stint in the Sea Org in the 1980's, I went to work for David Morse & Associates, a Scientologist-run insurance adjusting and investigations company in Glendale, CA. Carol Morse, who was then in charge of finances, told me my job was conditional on handling my F/L debt and on working out of the automatic "Doubt" ethics condition that the SO slaps on people with these "debts." Carol made herself my "Field Staff Member," which entitled her to a 10% commission on this debt. She also called me a "Degraded Being" because I deserted the SO without fulfilling my billion year contract. She supported labeling me a DB by showing me some Scientology scriptural issue where Hubbard called former SO members "DBs." The label and its use against me in the work environment were humiliating, intimidating and coercive, and I'd bet also illegal.

DEGRADED BEING, 1. a sick thetan who is all caved in can't direct a postulate at anything. When he tries, he lets it wobble around and go elsewhere. The difference between a degraded being and an OT is simply that the DB can't put out a postulate or intention in a direct line or way and make it hold good. (HCOB 5 Dec 73) 2. a harsh term but a true one. It means a person who is at effect to such a degree that he or she avoids orders or instructions in any possible covert or overt way because orders of any kind are confused with painful indoctrinations in the past. This person cannot be at cause without attaining OT Level III. Therefore they prevent the org from being at cause as they cannot be at cause themselves and will not let the org or anything else be at cause including executives. (HCO PL 22 Mar 67) Abbr.DB

O.M.F.G.

Regarding what I bolded -- This is a RELIGION? scientology declares unbelievably extravagant illegal "debts" against loyal adherents who devoted their lives to it for less than 50 cents an hour -- and then pays COMMISSIONS to its parishioners who are able to extract repayment of this "debt" from those poor people to whom this illegal debt is being charged?

Wow. Just... wow. I mean -- I knew about the illegality of the extortion of former Sea Org and even staffers. But I NEVER knew that other adherents in "good standing" could gain commissions by enforcing the collection of this illegal debt.

I wonder how many other religions recognized as charitable by the IRS (in the USA) run rackets like this -- where adherents are PAID COMMISSIONS -- on "religious services" (look it up) AS WELL AS ILLEGAL DEBTS...

Talk about organized crime. What a friggin' racket! Man. LOL.

I am willing to bet I am not the only "wog" who will observe scientology's practices as 1) NOT religious/charitable and 2) organized crime.

I am willing to bet a "wog" judge will be similarly blown away by the audacity of this latest revelation.

Thanks, Caroline, for coming forward regarding this.

Some excerpts from the Wikipedia Article on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
I have edited it and bolded it in places to emphasize certain points.
The full article is here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_ ... ations_Act

Quote:

Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and/or sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count.

In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.

Quote:

When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone under RICO, he or she has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant's assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a performance bond.

Quote:

Under the law, racketeering activity means:

--Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);

--Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and several other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18 );

--Embezzlement of union funds;
--Bankruptcy or securities fraud;
--Drug trafficking;
--Money laundering and related offenses;

--Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);

--Acts of terrorism.

Quote:

Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another's speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts.

RICO is about to slap the Thetan right out of dm...I wonder if the Aryan brothers will pimp him out, extort tons of money from him, or let survival of the fittest play itself out.
