In order to make this public, I am reposting something I just posted
at www.enturbulation.org as follows:

Over a year and a half ago I contacted organized scientology through
my attorney Barry Van Sickle and told them I wanted all the money I
ever gave them back.

In the months that followed that request there has been some back and
forth which on my part mostly involved myself giving heartfelt
feelings of the wrongs they have committed against myself, my family
and many others.

Their replies have been though one of their attorneys refusing to
speak of even one wrong by Miscavige or organized scientology and
taking up not even one grievance listed. This attorney has been a very
senior attorney for scientology and also has represented David
Miscavige personally.

Instead of addressing my points, they demanded that I quit all my
postings about organized scientology and Miscavige including about the
corporate frauds, beatings and the like. They have threatened me and
accused me of being a criminal for daring to speak out. They have been
trying to silence me for many months now.

After I got a threatening memo from their attorney in April of 2007, I
decided to write to Miscavige personally and sent it via that
attorney. A very small part of my letter to Miscavige in April 2007 is
covered in the following few quotes from it:

1) “I object most deeply to Mr. Drescher’s characterization of my
actions as somehow being a breach of my fiduciary duty.

Why Mr. Drescher thinks I owe you a fiduciary duty is a mystery to me.
As far as I know my duty is to tell the truth, which I will do and
that, not any breach of fiduciary duty, is what you fear”. ;

2) “Mr. Drescher’s letter is nothing more than an attempt to silence
me and of course the unstated force behind the threats being the legal
and unscrupulous might of an abusive, criminal organization that has
abused countless others in the past”. ;

3) “In reading through depositions you have made in different court
cases and in reading through materials you have sent to the IRS, I
knew first hand that you had lied and perjured yourself to either stop
those whom you perceived to be enemies or to gain legal advantages
such as federal tax exempt status”. (examples were then given in the
letter);

4) “I have seen you punch, slap and choke others who were top church
management when you were supposed to be in ASI and not involved with
the running of the church. I have been on the receiving end of your
threats if more money was not funneled to Hubbard that week, including
such things as threatened strangulation against myself.

I know you to be one who has lied in courts, to governments and others
about such things and I know you to be an abusive person who has
beaten and humiliated many others.

And, I am NOT threatening you with exposure of all this if you do not
pay me back funds you extorted out of me. I AM exposing you!”;

5) “The above are just a very few points of all the abuse, lies and
such that you have put me and others though. I now know that my story
is a common one and it was not me that was somehow “always wrong” as
you try to make it seem.

I am addressing this letter to you as I was asked for a letter by Mr.
Drescher and as I know that you run the ultimate control of all the
organizations of scientology, including all to whom I have paid money.
I know those organizations to be nothing more than your alter ego and
you use them to continue with your frauds, lies and abuses”.


Their attorney tried to be cute and pretend he didn’t read it after
returning it to my attorney, opened, some nine days after he received
it. Again I got threatened. And I responded with another letter
directly to Miscavige with a copy to that attorney.

In that letter I addressed their CVB (“Claims Verification Board”)
policies as follows:

“I believe that the CVB policies are fraudulent, designed to harass
and a product of false advertising and as such cannot follow such
steps. Sadly, I have a feeling that Mr. Drescher already has a copy of
a posting I made on the subject of scientology’s “refund” policies
being misleading, fraudulent and based on false advertising and
misleading claims to governments. So I will not bore you with those
thoughts again”.

BTW, here is a link to that posting I made about the CVB referred to
above:

http://tinyurl.com/27hgy7

Since that time all that has happened is that I have continued to tell
the truth while they refuse to reform or address any grievance
whatsoever.

Given my recent affidavit and work with government and other contacts,
I am expecting them to come at me applying fair game in full and lying
about what I have told them I wanted from them.

Therefore, I want to make the above and something else public. My
attorney this week emailed their attorney with my specific proposal
for a resolution of all matters between myself and organized
scientology, in effect a truce between us. Here are my exact demands
as given to them this week by my attorney Barry Van Sickle on my
behalf:

“here is what Mr. Brennan proposes.
1. He will receive a signed letter from David Miscavige acknowledging
that what Mr. Brennan has said about organized Scientology is
substantially true. Mr. Miscavige may add language presenting a
commitment to stop abuses of human rights, fair game, and
disconnection policies in the future.
2. The church will apologize to all members who have been assaulted or
battered by management.
3. Mr. Brennan will be allowed to meet and speak freely with all held
in the RPF.
4. Mr. Brennan will receive $_______ in consideration of funds
previously paid to various church groups and related considerations.
(note: the amount listed is the total of what I have paid them as a
“public scientologist” with a small percentage of interest added)
5. The criminal charges brought against any Anonymous members must be
dropped”.

I know most people reading the above proposal will deem it impossible
in that Miscavige would never agree. To that I say you should have
seen the one I wanted to send that involved his resignation and public
apology on national TV for all his abuses! Perhaps not one bit of what
I asked for above will ever be granted but it is righteous and needed
to be said directly to them by somebody anyway.

I have now posted the above and it is now public. No matter what
happens to me from this point forward and no matter what organized
scientology may do to apply fair game, this is now on the record.

I would like to give a big “thank you” to every single person who is
helping to expose the crimes, lies and/or abuses of organized
scientology and David Miscavige.

Leverage, leverage, leverage.

Hubbard says in HCO PL 15 August 1960 "Dept of Govt Affairs:"

If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any
organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to
cause them to sue for peace. Peace is bought with an exchange of
advantage, so make the advantage and then settle. Don't ever defend.
Always attack. Don't ever do nothing. Unexpected attacks in the rear
of the enemy's front ranks work best.
http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/fbi/pl-dept-govt-affairs.html

Hubbard provides the sociopath's view of peace or settlement. You have
certainly attacked on a vulnerable point by demanding the refund of
the money extorted from you. You have attacked consistently and
regularly since on all sorts of vulnerable points with reasoned
written and oral statements about your experiences and knowledge of
Scientology, and about your refund demand and experiences you've had
since you made it.

Like me, I'm sure, you want peace, a just settlement. Sociopath
Miscavige is desperate to "make the advantage" and all he's doing is
letting his and his cult's advantages drain away. While you add to
your knowledge, your supporters, your effectiveness -- and your
advantage.

Miscavige and his gang are watched so closely by so many people now
that he can't obey Hubbard's "one command:" always attack. DM and his
cabal are left largely "ignore tech." Scientologists practicising
ignore tech are not to be ignored, because it is an attack. They've
been running ignore tech on you this last year and a half. You've made
some advantages. It's pretty clear you're being opped on intel lines,
but in the public opinion realm and in your assembly of the pieces to
be where you are right now in your conflict with the Miscavigeites you
have seriously improved your hand. VWD

That's not to say that DM has reformed, isn't a sociopath, and isn't
dangerous. From his known history, which cult attorney William
Drescher has for many years facilitated, Miscavige may very well have
people like you and me assassinated. From his known history of
physically beating his close Scientologist followers it must be
recognized that in his sociopathy he could commit any crime against
the wog "enemies" he created to attack.

Drescher had for many years been a Scientology liar. Miscavige loves
pieces of work. See, e.g., this 1991 declaration:
http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/aznaran/decl-1991-09-03.html

Wogology is a self help group. Help yourself to it.

You're keeping it working Larry. Peace.

You, sir, thoroughly rock. My hat is off, and I most sincerely thank you.

Would you mind if that ended up on a few hundred flyers?

My advice...., set an appointment with the florida state attorney
general, notify scn of the approximate day and time, be prepaired with
a few DVD's containing materials that will get the AG's attention on a
range of vectors... tell scn that you wil keep the appointment if you
do not have a full refund in your hands by then.

then let the chips fall where they may..


the approach worked in 1994... it may still.. back then there may have
been a florida state injunction against further crimes adding leverage
but thats a guess. Myself I would not diddle with these people
anymore... btw I got a refund on that basis and promised that I would
release what I had in any event...but if they wanted immediate crap on
their plate not refunding me would accomplish that...

Ted Mayette did well with a somewhat similar approach as he became
more or less the father of modern picketing against scn... I suggested
to him that he promise them that for every day of delay he would
picket at least another month... that got em in gear.... they
refunded..... he relented with the pickets after a couple of years...
and his well written solo reports engergized pickets world wide for a
decade.

it needs to be visceral to work apparently... the meat needs to be in
the game.

Larry, I'm sorry that the negotiations have stalled. I know you
allowed Miscavige more than enough time to work out a resolution.
Miscavige is too much of a coward to admit to these things. From his
perspective, to be truthful is to be defeated. I say let's just get
the government to investigate these criminal charges and get a class
action case going on the whole thing. There are more than enough
people willing to just fight to get their folders of ' confidential'
confessions out of the hands of these psychopaths. The AVC line is
corrupt. Freeloader debts are fraudulent and the church is now writing
exstaff to 'donate' the money for services received while under
contract yet there are thousands who still hold the account statements
and letters showing they OWE or OWED the money as a debt.
http://forums.enturbulation.org/15-breaking-news/legal-claim-someone-owes-religious-donation-14096/

Suicides have occurred while trying to get through the AVC process.
How many more do we not know if? www.whyaretheydead.net

The timing is perfect, with so many people leaving, including
celebrities. The Stern show video that was posted today about german
journalist Freddie Garis' infiltration into Berlin Org for 5months
exposed how Scientology operates, how new people are recruited and
manipulated and how staff are forced to work many hours for no or
little pay.

A signed copy of the above and your Affidavit should be posted to
wikileaks.
This unsigned copy is an excellent read for anyone curious about the
cult and how Miscavige has perjured himself but Wikileaks is best.

You are a hero for speaking up, Larry. Hang in there and keep
persisting.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

speaking up is vital...when that runs its course its time to cease
negotiations... those deadlines need to be firm... the ensuing hose
job needs to be world class..

did you see my reply to you in the asbestos thread? I get into the
risk factors/ demographics of the mess.. for kids doing reno's for
years its not good, judges will go ballistic on that imo.

Thank you Gerry, Mary, Phil and everyone for your kind words and
advice on this matter. I am most appreciative of your support.

And especially thank you all for what you are doing to help point out
and stop the abuses and such within organized scientology.

You are a great group of people that I feel luckly to be in touch
with, even if only over the internet with some of you.

Larry
