Report from the Hemet front.

My lawyer was a bit busy this morning, so I was out running
errands for him.

One of the errands was to pick up a tape from the DA's of
what the "victims" had said to Tony Greer

I popped into the DA's office right across the street from the court.
The poor front office people were not the least bit happy to see me.
Sandra Burges (She would only give me her first name, but had a name
plate on top of her credenza in full view) argued with me (sounding
really stressed) that it was policy that they could only give these
tapes to an attorney and not a defendant. I told her I was his agent
today, and could they give it to an agent? No. Ok, what would they
do if I were in pro se? That stopped her for a second, and she said
in that case the DA would have to give me the tape. There was a
lawyer
from San Diego who was getting a tape himself watching these exchanges
in amazement. I put him on the phone with Jim Harr and he offered to
take the tape and give it to Jim Harr because Jim's office was on his
way back to San Diego. No dice. But they would let me pay for it.
While Vera Passa was filling out the receipt, I collected the names of
the three women in the front. Gina Walters had the right cube, Vera
had
the left, and Sandra Berges was behind Gina. Just after I collected
the
names all three women they turned their nameplates over on their
faces.

Now if someone webs this little report, these folks can ego surf and
find their names. <Grin> See, being on the net is not so painful.
If the DA were to take a fall, it is not likely for you to get caught
in the gears.

This happened a little before noon. Just after noon Jim's secretary..
Assistant (I don't know what term is politically correct lately) came
over to pick the tape up for Jim. In spite of the tape being right
next to the window and all they had to do was hand it to her, they
sent her away because the office was closed.

Later she went back and got the tape. This evening I listened to
2/5ths (so far). It confirms my viewpoint of the purpose of the
whole exercise. I won't go into more details right now, but you
who have been following know exactly what I mean. These people
*definitely* don't have their TR's in. If the tape get's played
in court I am going to have to leave because there is no way I
could keep a straight face while these people ramble about free
floating fears from ICBMs to grenades.

After the serious defeat Tuesday where we lost an attempt to get
Frank Oliver in as an expert witness and his qualifications made
part of the court's record, Jim and I had a strategy session.
We wanted this stuff in as part of the appeal record (should
things go that badly) and it seemed a really good idea to educate
the judge about some of the nasty non-religious aspects of the cult.
We could have done the record preserving with a less complicated
mechanism called an offer of proof. But instead, we made it into a
motion to reconsider with a declaration from Frank about having been
in the court during the Clearwater 13 trial and heard one of their
security people define me (and the rest of us) as "enemy" and
"suppressive persons" and attached Franks qualifications to the
motion as an exhibit.

If the motion is rejected by the judge in the morning as a motion,
we could still make it part of the record by asking for it to be
filed for the appeal record as an offer of proof. We hadn't covered
all possibilities though because the judge could reject our offer
of proof, though this is something not commonly done. (And the clams
could also prevent it from being part of the record by getting the DA
to drop the case before court opens in the morning.) Talking to
Graham later in the evening, he told us how we can make it part of
the court's record in *any* situation except the DA dropping the
case, namely file a writ with the appeals court. Ordinarily writs
are a poor investment of time since about 95 percent or more of them
are rejected. But given that filing a writ also gets the material
filed with a court, even a five percent chance of it working is
worthwhile. I have a bunch of supplemental material related to
Section 132 and 182 I can file with it which might raise the chances
to good or better.

So by mid to late afternoon (a bunch of my time was taken up talking
to law enforcement agents who are looking into *other* aspects of this
whole business) we took the filing over to the DA's office. Sarah had
papered over her last name on her nameplate, Vera had nameplate back
up and Gina's was still face down.

After filing with the DA, we walked over to the courthouse. The court
clerk took our filings away and was gone so long that she must have
talked to the Judge. She accepted them, but only as "received" rather
than filed. So bright and early in the morning Judge Wallerstein gets
to either accept them for filing one way or another, or we file the
papers in the Appeals court asking for a writ. Any way you slice it,
Rosen and Abelson taunting us as we walked out of the courthouse has
come back to haunt them, and those shit eating grins have turned to
a mouthful of ......

I am delaying the posting of this note until it is too late for it to
affect anything in the court. My lawyer has come to the extremely
odd place for a defense lawyer where he may not always agree with me,
but he understands and backs me up on the larger scale concern that
drives me in ways that are not obviously, and merely in my personal
selfish interest. The DA made an offer today to reduce the charge to
almost nothing, and, again, I turned the offer down flat. He should
not be surprised. Some time ago he described me to my face as a
person of integrity. With that kind of a reputation to uphold, how
could he expect me to take a plea bargain?

Since the DA Office is probably reading this, maybe they can explain how an
accused Atomic Bomber can be walking free on the streets?

If this threat had any credibility surely it would be in the public interest to
have Keith Henson in custody until the jury render their verdict.

The fact that he is still walking the streets proves that the DA believes that
these charges are UTTERLY BOGUS.

Try as I might, this (below) doesn't make any sense. Is it the
DA's office that was behaving like Scientologists (Gina Walters,
Sandra Berges, Vera Passa), or were you getting the tapes from
Scientologists from one of their buildings / offices? If it was
the DA office, why were they acting like criminals? Your
narrative isn't clear to folks who walked into this movie late.

Also, since the DA wishes to "plea bargan" the trumped-up charges
"to almost nothing," that to me seems like an excellent sign that
the DA knows there case is weak. In a way I'm glad you didnt
accept the "plea bargan," and in another way I wish you had,
considering the "plea bargan" may have resulted in only probaion
for a year or two.

Henson, if you are ever in Las Vegas Nevada, I will consider it
an honor and privilage to picket with you.

While this might have been an option were this a one-shot deal, where Henson
would never deal with the cult again, they are on a mission to destroy him
utterly. Any admission by him of wrongdoing would constitute an agreement by
him to his own demise. As Grady Ward has learned, "settling" with them
generally entails an *intensification* of their effort to destroy you, NOT any
kind of lasting peace. Therefore, accepting this plea bargain dangled on a
stick would be to be a beggar to his own demise.

Only total victory is acceptable, and even in the unacceptable case of a
defeat, even a flat defeat is better than giving the cult agreement to proceed
with destruction. As suspected, the proffer of a weak plea bargain is a
last-ditch effort by the DA cult-puppet Schwarz to get anything at all from
this case.

They know their case is weak, and they have shown the first sign of weakness.

Now is the time to proceed with the destruction of their pathetic lie-filled
excuse for a case, which is comprised entirely of suborned perjury and amounts
to a prosecution for protected free speech in a malicious attempt to create a
situation where the Scientology cult is immune to criticism, and picketing and
posting reports of the pickets to Usenet somehow constitutes "terrorism."

In any case, even a flat-out loss on every count fought vigorously all the time
would be better than an agreement by Henson that he is a "criminal," which
would be unappealable, and which would be immediately used for his utter
destruction by the cult.

No agreement with this cult is possible except an agreement that they cease to
exist.

Quite clearly it is the DA's office (see below).

Yes. The cult sacred scripture says "Find or manufacture enough
threat against them to cause them to sue for peace." But it does NOT say
"And then give them peace."

On the contrary, in the very next sentence, it says to "Originate a
black PR campaign to destroy the person's repute and to discredit them
so thoroughly they will be ostracized," and then it says that the
founder's "specific intention" that "any opposition not only be dulled
but permanently iradicated." [in HCOPL 30 May 1974]

You know, it might rattle him a bit, if you said: "Hey, if I cop a plea,
how am I going to get you disbarred for this farce?"

I may be wrong, but I am entirely convinced that the DA *never*
expected to have to try this turkey, and my lawyer has come around to
the same view.

Say what?

Moxon, Paquette and one or more of the Hemet DA's (Schwarz's boss Tom
Gage who signed the complaint would be my prime suspect) conspired to
set me up to be arrested on failure a to appear charge. This is a
violation of Section 182 of the Penal code. To do this they set up a
video taped deposition and when they had a firm date for the
deposition, filed this amazingly weak case against me so the
arraignment date would hit while I was in a deposition.

Then, they put information I can *prove* to be false in the court's
computer records, namely the notice that my status was "release with
letter to appear." This is a violation of Section 132 of the Penal
code. The letter, defendants copy of the complaint, was not given to
me or mailed in spite of a "statement under oath" that it had been put
into the court's records. This copy had been left in the case file
and was handed to me by Deputy Borner on September 15, 2000 when I
unexpectedly showed up in court that morning.

They expected me to plead out on failure to appear charges after being
held overnight in another county and transported to Riverside in
handcuffs. The CoS lawyers, particularly Helena Kobrin screwed up
thinking I knew about the arraignment and accidentally gave me notice.
At that point the scheme went off the rails and poor Robert Schwarz
was left with trying to prosecute a bogus case they never expected to
try.

Keith,

I know that you are one of the most patient and compassionate people
I've ever had the good fortune to meet, but frankly, I hope that once
this case is laughed out of court you persue legal action to get
Schwarz, Gage, and anyone else in the Hemet DA's office who's culpable
in this travesty not only bounced out of office, but disbarred.

I wonder if Schwarz even knows who Paulette Cooper is? If he succeeds
in railroading you this time around, he'll sure as hell learn all about
Cooper, Klemesrud, and every other case where the clams have tried to
manufacture a crime to silence a critic. If there's even a shred of
decency left in the man, he'll be too goddamned ashamed to show his face
before an appeals court.

Justice demands that these idiots get kneecapped by a jury, and bounced
out of the legal profession by their peers. Come to think of it, why
don't you sue them personally for violating your civil rights, and ask
for damages of $75K ;-)

One of the things a DA is *supposed* to do, is keep an eye out for the
taxpayer's interest in not trying cases that are patently absurd.

Is the DA an elected office in Riverside?

Try $75M. This is serious stuff.

Where Scientology is involved, always expect the unexpected,
it seems. People do stupid things under pressure, and
Scientology can exert some serious pressure by expending a
million dollars to set things up. A few dozen Scientologists,
a few PIs, a few months, lots of briefing sessions at
OSA central, a lot of PR work, police, lawyers etc.

This is big stuff, $75M against the city and $750M against
the cult.

The time for _that_ is after the judge accepts the jury's verdict, not
before. Be sensible, now. This isn't in the bag yet.

There should be plenty of time to go after the names you've collected so
far, after an acquittal. Just like within the cult itself, the upper
management will be protected only if the lower levels don't cop a plea
themselves. Henson has already collected some of the names he'll need
for the state's investigation, even before nameplates started ducking
for cover.

Below is an excellent summation, and I think you are correct. I
hope you get the chance to tell the jury this hypothesis. It
sounds exactly like something Scientology Corp. would do.

Crimes by the state such as was committed against Keith, if

less. HOWEVER, those responsible for framing Keith for "failure
