Paulette's diary (16): Frame-up/ L Ron Hubbard Jr. letters
Paulettec
In the previous segment, I explained why I thought L Ron Hubbard Jr., was
involved in Scientology's frame-up of me.
To continue: while I was under indictment, and in a very bad state physically
and emotionally, Roy Wallis, who lived in Scotland, came to New York to
interview me and others for his book.
After talking to me, and hearing what had happened, he interviewed Nibs (L Ron
Hubbard Jr.,)a braggert, who began hinting of his involvement in the frame-up
and what he got for it from Scientology and or his father.

HARASSMENT DIARY, by Paulette Cooper (1982)
Part 16: L. Ron Hubbard Jr.'s Letters
My 1997 editorial comments are enclosed in [[double square brackets]].
Also, I have added some paragraph breaks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He [[L. Ron Hubbard Jr., aka Nibs]] showed Roy [[Wallis,
author of "The Road to Total Freedom"]] two letters which made it
appear that Scientology had rejected a scheme to frame me, and that he
had then gone to his father and offered to do anything to get back in
his good graces.
He told Roy that he hadn't mailed the letter to his father but
Nibs may have gone off on his own, since he also told Roy that he had
received a house, a business and cash -- in late May, which was when I
was indicted and arrested.(1)
Roy went to the government with the letters and an affidavit
and the government began to back down from the case.(2)
[[Footnotes:]]
(1) The first letter was from DG [[Deputy Guardian]]Bob Thomas,
then head of dirty tricks
in California for Scientology, and, incidentally, the boss of Terry
Milner (who's [[sic]] name appears in the Washington documents about
framing me).
In this letter, dated November 3rd or about a month before the
first bomb threat, Bob Thomas rejected Nibs' apparent offer to
"pursu[e] the course of double agent entrapment or harassment you
propose with regard to certain individuals you have named in your
prior communication, vis: Paulette Cooper...."
"Entrap", incidentally is the word Scientology uses for
"frame", I learned from their Washington documents about me. Thus, it
seemed to me that the Church of Scientology itself specifically did
not want me to be framed. [[Or maybe they were just covering their
a-- on paper.]]
But the next letter Roy Wallis obtained from Nibs was dated
six days later and written to his father, L. Ron Hubbard and Mary Sue.
In it, he said he had always been working for them, and that seemed to
me to be a good indication that he wasn't, for if he had been, he
wouldn't be telling his father that 3 years later.
He did write, however, that "I have a vast fund of
information, ability and skill plus a large variety of plans,
activities and options which will bring the enemies of the church to
their knees once and for all." There was no doubt that the first
person to go after would be me. So it looked like he had gone ahead
with these plans in order to get in his father's good graces.
(2) We let Gordon know that we were going to call Roy Wallis (an
Oxford scholar) and Nibs to the trial, and Nibs is a pretty poor
witness since when Scientology either dissuaded or blackmailed him
into stopping his attacks, he signed a sworn affidavit recanting his
sworn testimony at a 1968 anti-Scientology trial.
