Cynthia Kisser's statement today, channeled to ARS by Jeff Jacobsen,
omits her other affirmation to Dan Leipold that "she can believe
Laura Terepin is not who she says she is." Also, Kisser has the
mistaken impression that FACTNet has posession of phone records.
That is not and has never been the case.

While the information from phone records was pivotal to our final
conclusion, they were by no means the only damning evidence
concerning the covert activities on behalf of Scientology by the
person who claimed to be Laura Terepin. We are completely satisfied
with the investigation done at the behest of our attorney by private
investigators. We have no further interest in investigating any
mater related to the CAN/FACTNet Laura Terepin.

We reiterate that the results of the investigation done for our
attorney are not available to any outside parties. However, we are
aware that others areconducting their own independent investigations,
and we encourage such additional enquiries as we are confident the
damning evidence is available to anyone in need of it. Our
investigation has long since been concluded and we have no intention
of inquiring further into this matter. Nor do we have any further
comment on the matter.

Bob has spoken in the last few days with the confirmed Laura (nee)
Terepin and her husband and has apologized for any inconvenience this
matter has caused them. We regret that the confirmed Laura Terepin
was drawn into this matter on the internet and again offer her our
apologies concerning this matter.

Robert S. Minton and Stacy Brooks, Directors
for and on behalf of FACTNet.

Stacy and Bob:

Just a few questions, if that is alright with y'all:

Is the "fake" Laura gone?

When was the last you saw her?

Has Cynthia had any contact with her since this started?

Does Cynthia have an explanation why there would be two Laura Terepin's
when the "legal" Terepin states she is the only one in the country? Can
Cynthia reconcile that there are 2 Laura's?

And lastly, have you and Bob and the PI taken in account that there
might just BE two Laura Terepins'?

fwiw: my vote on the matter is in your court, at this present time. I
have faith that you would not "out" someone so harshly, if you were not
convinced of it. It was very disappointing to hear Cynthia's
denouncement, but I suppose she is dealing with other issues too
painful.

take care

Fine, but please note that despite the certainty with which you and
stacy (or was it just stacy?) claimed that Cynthia would be convinced
after talking to Dan she was was not convinced. Apparently not even
close.

>Also, Kisser has the

At this point I'm not convinced there are any phone records. No one
claims to have actually seen them.

See previous comment.

So what is this "damning evidence"? I hear lots about it, but never
see any.

So what are these phone records? FACTNet doesn't have then, Dan doesn't

> there might just BE two Laura Terepins'?

It seems rather unlikely to me. Here's what I found about online telephone
directories:

There are quite a few United States White Pages telephone directories
available on the Internet. None of the directories that we're aware of
gets their information direct from any of the major telephone companies.
Instead, they all utilize data gathered by just three different
information vendors (Database America, Metromail, and ProCD). Because the
information varies slightly from one vendor to the next, we've selected
the one best directory to search for each vendors data. Don't waste your
time. If you don't find the persons telephone number you're looking for
from one of the directories listed below, then chances are you probably
won't find it listed in any telephone directory on the Internet.

So, bearing that in mind, here's what a search of all three databases for
anyone with the last name Terepin produced:

- Switchboard (Database America) produced:

L Terepin in Chicago, IL
Richard D Terepin in Rochester, MI

- Four11 (Metromail) produced:

F H Terepin in Wilmington, DE
Laura Terepin in Chicago, IL

- InfoSpace (ProCD) produced:

L Terepin in Chicago, IL
Richard D Terepin in Rochester, MI

So it's a *really* rare last name.

Now, some people have suggested that there may have been someone new arrive
into the country with that last name, someone that wasn't related to those
already here.

This is a possibility, but I would consider that it fails the following test:
some other random female Terepin might have arrived - but what are the odds
that she shares the same first name with the only other (known - dunno about
"F H Terepin") female Terepin in the US?

Remember, CAN's Terepin is not a Susan Terepin, not a Kate Terepin, nor a
Mary Terepin, nor a <ad semi-infinitum>, but a *Laura* Terepin. And there are
only an absolute handful of other Terepins in the whole country.

No, doesn't seem very likely to me.

Noel,

Keep in mind that folks with unlisted/unpublished phone numbers don't
generally show up in these directories. That doesn't mean they don't

IIRC Laura nee Terepin believed her family to be the only Terepins in
the USA, but it was the added coincidence that both LTs had a connection
with Scientology that convinced her that she ought to come forward and
reveal her existence on ARS.

>It was very disappointing to hear Cynthia's

'denouncement' is a bit strong, though in her position I'd be decidedly
upset at being left uncertain as to what was going on. CAN staff are
stuck in the unenviable position of not knowing for certain whether they
had an undetected spy or not. Minton et al claim to have the evidence,
but they aren't for legal reasons going to reveal it.

'Investigations continue', as OSA would say!

Oh, and don't forget, the real Laura Terepin lost a friend to the
Scientology cult. Has anyone found out that friend's name? That's
FACTNet's "Laura Terepin", most likely. Mrs. Terepin was sent Bob's
photo; was there any reply? Did she recognize the woman impersonating
her?

that she did not recognize the photo as being of her ex-friend. nor

I see. These are the missing other 30,000 people called Terepin

I wonder if Carla Nelson is still on staff, perhaps running
missionaires? Might explain the use of this name; I can't think
of any other rational way it might end up being used, if it is a
fake name, which seems probable.

Carla might have then pulled this name out of her memory and given
the mission orders with it included for the operative, the fake
"Laura Terepin".

This operative, Jim Beebe has said that former CAN staff still
support her - how long must she have been an OSA agent if she was
into CAN? How many years?

wouldn't the names of any close friends, family members and others
come up in routine life history stuff during auditing? the cult would
tend to have a lot of names and information, not only of their members
but of any people known by those members.

Bob,

We all understood what Jim meant. If CAN is dead why do you seem to
feel you need to drive a stake through it's heart?? You're coming

Very serious accusations have been made against Laura Terepin. No acceptable
supporting evidence has been produced for a trustworthy witness. Now we are
told that there is other 'damming' evidence but apparently, this 'evidence'
will not be produced. Further, the accusers announce that they have no
further interest in investigating this matter.

I have further comments on the matter. If the accused is guilty of the
charges of spying for the church of Scientology then laws have been broken and
information from this spying led to the destruction of the Cult Awareness
Network (CAN). Why hasn't this matter been taken to the Dept. of Justice?
Since I was one of the parties spyed upon and I lost my job from it, I insist
upon an investigation by the Dept. of Justice. You hold the evidence, so how
to we proceed? This would seem to be the way to get to the bottom of this.


Laura...I hardly knew ye.

I know what I meant to say (ex-CAN staff) and so did you.

Because, it would appear that "Frankly, my dear, they don't give a
damn",
like there hasn't been enough already made public that they haven't
cared about either.

Sad, ain't it.

May not like it, but the Co$ is NOT doing anything that they haven't
been let to do.

Give them a call and see if they care. If they do, let us know, because
I'd sure be surprised if they did.

Okay now Jim, you have been around long enough to know that what
"seems" and what "is" are two different entities :-).

Seriously though, if you want to put the time and effort into it, I
wish you luck, but again, remember, the Co$ isn't doing anything they
haven't done since practically their inception, and nothing has really
been done about it, so why should they even consider changing tactics.

The only way I see of them changing is if the government step in,
which I doubt seriously will happen with so much other cr*p going on
with them . . . or public opinion is so focused on them they begin
to really watch their actions and must change accordingly.

I put more stock in the latter than the former.

But then again, it's what people also desire to be the outcome with
the Co$. Many have stated they want nothing short of it's complete
dismantling. That's not where I am, I would like to see the standard
complaints (deception, harassment, intimidation, disconnection etc.)
be stopped. If they were honest about what they are and would not
try to be so covert publicly and overt at a one to one level, they
would be acceptable as one of the myriad idiocyncracies in our ever
evolving society.

But as they stand now, they are, in LHR's own terms, out-ethics, and
just plain immoral IMO.

If you can't get the attention of govt. officials, keep on sticking
to the attention of the public.

I was telling Garry the other night that, without exception, everyone
but ~one~ person I have talked to about the Co$ has a far from
positive opinion about them.

The public simply needs to now be informed about the many front
groups that Co$ is infiltrating into society with so they know it
by all of it's many faces.

Fwiw - One of the things I have not seen mention of in this whole scene
relates to a **Possible** reason why Mintons' comments have been less than
forthright.

Please consider the following ;

1) Attorney -client - PI privleges are not as simple as many people seem
to think.

2) It is quite possible to lose such privlege as may exist by divulging
certain information, and sometime even a 'paraphrased" refereance to
same..

3) Bob has access to considerable legal talent - and may very well have
slipped up in some of his comments...and been told in no uncertain terms
-- ZIP IT -

4) Did LT actually do something "illegal " ??

5) ** IF ** she did, and it turns out to be worth filing a criminal
complaint, or would have bearing on a civil trial -- then it *may* follow
that there is more worthwhile things yet to be disclosed at the right
time ( e.g) for purposes of impeaching the credibility of a witness. And
with the attorney-client privlege in place , such items *may* not be
subject to discovery by the other side..

Just food for thought ..

Jim, could you recount a little about the CAN files? What was the timing
between the decision to do something and when Scientology found out about
it? How many people do you think knew about the CAN files at that time?
Specifically, about what was being done, and the specific location
Scientology needed to go in to disrupt the plan. If you could name the
individuals who knew, that would be even better.

Thanks for your thoughts, Bev. I know that the Govt. agencies prefer to turn a

So very true. we all need to make more of an effort to expose the front

Bzzt, Wrong. The most that can be said against Laura Terepin is
that she has suffered from someone else mis-using her name.

At one point, the real LT had been dragged into an attempt to get Carla
to blow by Carla's ex-husband.
It is possible LT's name was mentioned in some auditing session,
and was then was investigated by Ethics as a SP along with Carla's
ex-husband. Possibly her name was placed in a file as a potential
SP needing handling by ethics. I suspect that such files were the source
of the particulars used by LT to fabricate the LT fake identity.

Jim, I know that everyone wants to know everything, and I don't blame
them, this has turned out to be a mess.

But consider before you put anything out on the NG what the future
legal ramifications will be, and what you might want to hold back for
use later rather than putting all your cards on display.

Sadly, not because I don't think the critcs shouldn't know, but because
OSA logs all a.r.s. posts 24/7 in KR files and you may be potentially
letting them know something that could be to yours, the original CAN's,
or even someone else's benefit later.

Just think about it first, and what the benefit or consequences in
the long run will be. Some things are better left sat on than
displayed . . . unless you can show just enough to show you have
something to show :-).

You are missing a very important point here--lawsuits still continue;
CAN (although they may no longer exist as such) is not yet out of

It has not escaped notice that every time you mention CAN, you
do so only in the context of "past history", with a tone that
seems to indicate an unbecoming amount of glee over its demise.
CAN survived - what is it? thirty? - lawsuits before finally
dropping. Tell me, Bob, do you honestly believe that FACTNet has
that kind of tenacity? Do you really believe that FACTNet, in
its current incarnation, has the staying power to withstand that
level of opposition? Are you really in a position to gloat?

No organization lasts forever. Some day, there will be no
"FACTNet staff" either; some day soon, at the rate you are
going.

You should hope that those who follow in the struggle show more
respect and appreciation for those who went before them than do
you.

I don't really know what this means. The case of the files is already in
the courts, and this is really not relevant to that case. It's just a few
facts that I'm curious about. I hear things third hand, and I'd like to
confirm them with a primary source.

For instance, is it the case that the plans for the CAN files were
conceived and initiated, and Scientology's blocking action completed all
within a span of about 24 hours? And is it also the case that there was a
very very small number people who knew what Scientology needed to know to
block the plan?

I must have missed this stuff, not having paid much attention to the CAN
affair. Thanks for reminding us - it does explain why people associated
with the old CAN should be so concerned. If the person sitting on their
files was a mole they failed to spot, but which Minton et al had...
'embarrassment' ain't the word!

Bob's not shown Cynthia Kisser any evidence to convince her of that.

Besides, this ignores the very real fact that CAN's demise came about
as a result of the Jason Scott case, not because of internal spying.

This is revisionism at its worst, and I would pose the question, "Why
would Bob Minton try to ignore the facts re the demise of CAN?" I
would suggest that one *possible* answer is: "He's doing it to
enhance the reputation of FACTNet--at the expense of CAN."

Apparently Leipold does not have them. What he has seen as far as phone

Exactly. I was about to say that, and maybe even did
already at some stage. The claim of Big Bob that CAN
went down as a result of inner spying doesn't hold
water at all. CAN went down as a result of Scott's case
and CAN's unholy links to deprogrammers.

Yep. It looks pretty silly and very resembling LRH's

I don't know anything about Laura Terepin being appointed "Guardian of the CAN
Files" by the Court Trustee. The 'Guardian" bit seems unlikely. What I do
know is that she and myself were asked by the orginal CAN Board to participate
in a project to Archive the CAN Files. We were not the only ones helping with
this. The CAN Files which were under Court Seal had been returned to the CAN
Board. A few people knew about this project. One of them certainly was the
Court Appointed Bankruptcy Trustee, Philip Martino. Martino was hand picked by
Scientology's scientologist attorney, Kendrick Moxon who got the original
Trustee dismissed. The original Trustee was too fair and impartial. Philip
Martino was hostile toward's CAN from the start. He seized CAN's mail and
denied CAN Staff access to their own mail. CAN staff received mail ,
individually, all of the time. Martino told me ( and I have a witness) that
he was throwing CAN mail in the garbage. I tried to protest this with theU.S.
Bankruptcy Court and the Dept. of Justice whom this court is under. Other CAN
people tried to protest as well and we were completely denied any
consideration. Much of CAN's legal help had evaporated and so we were
floundering around. Philip Martino and Moxon were very cozy and it is my
opinion that it was Martino who tipped Moxon off about the plan to copy the CAN
Files. Laura T worked very hard and sincerely on this project to archive the
CAN Files. I can't believe that she put in all of this time and work just to
tip off Moxon. Not likely.

For those of you who are investigating this business, here are a couple of
names and numbers. Philip Martino, the appointed Trustee that I menioned is at
312-368-2165 fax 312-236-7516. He is with Rudnick & Wolfe 203 No. LaSalle
St. Chicago, Il 60601-1293

the Head Assistant US Trustee is Dean Harvalis 312-886-5785
U.S. Trustee Office at 227 West Monroe St. Suite 3350 Chicago, IL 60606

Get on these people and tell them thanks for all of the consideration they
gave to CAN. And thanks for being so accomodating to Kendrick Moxon and the
Church of Scientology.

If any body does manage to contact them , please post it on the ARS.

Yup. But what kind of religion needs covert operatives, I find myself
wondering...?

Rod: I have written about the CAN Files extensively in the past. You should
be able to pull up these posts via Dejanews. under CAN Files. I think that I
numbered some, #1, #2 etc. of them and they go back aways.

I'd just like to see this point clarified and picked out of the other
things that are going on and being said.

You're saying that Philip Martino, Scientology's chosen bankruptcy
trustee, know about the effort to copy the CAN files?

He would instantly rocket to the top of any list of suspects. Surely
Minton et al knew about him. If it is a fact that he knew, and that
he was chosen as you say, then it is unimaginable to lay the blame on
LT without rock-solid proof. But then there has been little in the
way of proof.

I'm not sure of all of the technicalitys with the CAN Files. As I understand
it the US Bankruptcy Court turned the CAN Files back to the original CAN Board.
But The Court which includes the appointed Trustee, Philip Martino, still has
their hand on the Files. The court recently granted Landmark Forum's
attorney's access to the Files. I believe that the Court had to give
permission for the copry -archive project and certainly, Martino would have
known about it.

Contact Martino and ask him. The last time that I talked with this weasel he
told told me that he was throwing our CAN mail in the garbage. It was quite
obvious to us with CAN that this guy was very cozy with Moxon.

Why would he "certainly" have known? Can you explain that to me?

>Contact Martino and ask him.

Yeah, right.

>It was quite obvious to us with CAN that this guy was very cozy
>with Moxon.

So here are the premises:

1. Martino was cozy with Moxon
2. Martino knew about the copy project

If both of those are likely and cannot be ruled out, then we have a
prefectly viable alternative source for the leak. Other than the more
obvious things such as phone-call interceptions, bugs, etc.

Now I'd like to see Minton post in this thread and explain how he
eliminate Martino as a potential source of the leak before heaping the
blame on LT. Wouldn't the rest of y'all like to see him address this
point?

Well, the only way you would get a NSCR is if we do it high enough, you
might talk 7 other CRWDogs into cutting away and doing the FF 8-way.

Yes, I've read these. Most have been summarized for Week in Review. Being
a primary source, could you comment on who was involved in the project? I
understand those who knew the sensitive details were just a very very few.
And is it the case that Moxon reacted to the plan within a day or so after
you guys thought of the project?

It's the old bloodlines thing. What they fail to realize is that he wasn't even
a full time starter at Michigan until his senior year. He has a *lot* of
potential, but also a *lot* of learning to do. He'd need another 3 years to
really be able to make a run at the starting spot.

No they will keep him. He's very close to John, handles his roll with aplomb,
and had proven that he can come in cold and move the team with élan. I'm just
hoping that they don't trade Jeff Lewis - his arm and moves are so reminiscent
of Elway that it would be *big* mistake to let John's protégé go.

> Maraya

Whatever the outcome - next year should be great. I don't like the prediction
that Darrien Gordon will be on the expansion draft list - that would be a
mistake as well, he really turned his game up in the playoffs.
