Re: H. Keith Henson

Background:

	Keith Henson's attacks on the Scientology religion began in
1996. He was a self employed computer consultant, living in a home in
Palo Alto, California with no previous contacts with any church of
Scientology. Henson was present in the U.S. federal court when Judge
Whyte enjoined one of Henson's friends from posting confidential
scriptures of the Scientology religion. Henson's decided to retaliate
and violate the copyrights by posting them himself. Thus his very
first assault on the Scientology religion was an act of defiance of
judicial authority.

	When Henson was then requested to cease and desist from
further infringement, his response was that counsel for the Church
(known to Henson as a woman with two children) could "take your
demand, fold it till it is all corners and stick it where 'the sun
don't shine'." (Exhibit 1)

	Henson continued to violate the copyrights of these materials,
and as a result of his refusal to cease infringing he was sued in the
Federal District Count for the Northern District of California for
copyright infringement. (Religious Technology Center v. Henson
C96-20271 RMW) (Exhibit 2)

	As it turned out Henson wanted to get sued in order to make a
name for himself on the Internet. He claimed that the litigation was a
"great game" and "entertainment." After all, he was forcing
Scientology churches to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in
legal fees to protect the copyrights in response to his acts of
infringement that cost him virtually nothing. He also boasted that
this misconduct enhanced his status among a handful of
anti-Scientologists whose perverse rating system gives one a higher
ranking and stature the more trouble and expense one causes the
Scientology religion. (Exhibit 3, at 94-97).

	In April 1997, the U.S. district court granted summary
judgment against Henson, finding that he had willfully infringed the
Church's copyrights and a permanent injunction was entered against
him. Henson saw that he was in trouble so just before trial began on
the issue of damages, Henson filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition,
invoking the automatic stay provision to sabotage the trial. Two days
later, while still under the court's injunction, Henson threatened
that he would publicly present the Church's confidential materials to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on television. He boasted that
after committing this act of "civil disobedience," he would report
with toothbrush in hand to the judge who issued the injunction, and go
to jail for contempt of court. (Exhibit 4 ) A further injunction was
then issued against him.

	But Henson's delay tactics failed and in May 1998 a jury found
him to be a willful infringer and assessed damages against him for
$75,000 (one of the highest assessments of damages for a single
copyrighted work in the history of the US). (Exhibit 5) Henson
immediately refiled for bankruptcy to thwart collection of the
judgment.

	Henson showed no remorse before, during or after that trial.
During the trial proceedings, he encouraged others to violate the
Church's copyrights by posting the same materials that he was enjoined
from copying.

The Hate Crimes and threats to the Church 

As mentioned above Henson started to intensify his actions getting
more and more irrational in his behavior. From May to September 2000,
he traveled from Palo Alto to Riverside County to target the staff of
Church of Scientology International at its Golden Era Production
facilities in Hemet. For approximately 50 days he followed Church
staff from their homes to the Church's property on Highway 79 between
State and Sanderson. He would lurk outside their apartments, taunting
and harassing them. All the while making various threats of
destruction on the Internet. Henson is a known expert in the use of
explosives and bombs. (Exhibit 10) Thus, his presence at the Church's
facilities created fear, intimidation and interference with the
religious practice of over 700 staff. That was intentional. As Henson
later told Sheriff's detectives, he was engaged in psychological
warfare, intending to create paranoia among the Church members.

The fear that he created was very real. Henson has a history if
setting off explosives, making pipe bombs and teaching children how to
do the same. (Exhibit 11) His exploits with explosives were even
covered in a book entitled The Great Mambo Chicken. (Exhibit 12)

In fact, in the above mentioned copyright case, a federal Magistrate
Judge issued an order preventing Henson from attending a deposition of
a Church official due to a conversation about bombs that Henson had
with a friend of his at the San Jose airport when they were in route
to the deposition: (Exhibit 13)

Henson's activities escalated even further. Acting in concert with his
cohorts, who used a Global Positioning System ("GPS") device, they
plotted the coordinates of several of the Church's buildings on the
Golden Era property. The satellite coordinates were then posted on the
Internet along with Henson's suggestion for a vector one could use to
destroy them with a missile (Exhibit 14).

Henson's threats lead to his being arrested and the criminal
conviction that followed.

Threats to Law Enforcement.

As noted above, Henson had earlier demonstrated his refusal to abide
by court orders, having been held in contempt of court by a federal
judge. More recently, he has taken other actions which show his utter
disregard for any form of judicial or law enforcement authority.

Prior to criminal trial, Henson sought the recusal of the entire
Riverside District Attorney's Office from prosecuting the case. This
was "supported" by a series of falsehoods and innuendo. An attorney
from the Attorney General's Office opposed the motion and Henson's
motion was denied.

While the trial was in progress, Henson attempted to intimidate
witnesses, in violation of California Penal Code ' 136, by having his
wife and others picket at the Church's facilities (where the witnesses
work), carrying signs containing language specifically excluded from
the trial by Judge Wallerstein. Henson, himself, in violation of Penal
Code ' 95 attempted to influence jurors by handing out fliers
attacking Scientology in the Hemet area. (Exhibit 15)

.. Rather than showing any remorse following his conviction, Henson
became even more brazen. Two hours after receiving a "guilty" verdict,
Henson was back at the courthouse with his wife Arel, protesting the
court's action. (Exhibit 16) -

The following day, Henson posted an "Open Letter to Judge Robert H.
Wallerstein" on an Internet newsgroup. (Exhibit 17) In the letter,
Henson called the judgment a "miscarriage of justice" and "an assault
on free speech" attempting to poison the judge with the very lies
about the Church of Scientology which had been ruled inadmissible
during the trial. He reargues the same points that his attorney had
unsuccessfully raised in a motion for judgment notwithstanding
verdict, a motion for a new trial and a motion for mistrial.
Moreover,! Henson's letter was in direct disobedience to the reprimand
he received from Judge Walker following his earlier ex-parte contacts
with judges. (Exhibit 18)

Henson even attempted to intimidate the Deputy District Attorney who
was prosecuting him, both prior to and during trial, through numerous
postings on the Internet. (Exhibit 19) Henson even went so far as to
take the Deputy DA's photograph when he was coming out of his office.
Additionally, on the eve of the trial, Henson went to the District
Attorney's office in Hemet in an attempt to intimidate his staff.
Henson then described this visit on the Internet in a posting where he
revealed the full names of three female DA's Office's employees
(Exhibit 20)

Henson's affiliation with a cadre of like minded hate mongers is a
separate cause for concern. In an attempt to influence the court,
members of that group posted direct threats against the DA's office,
suggesting that the DA should be "violated by Nazi Lowriders." Henson
has been associating with a key figure in this group, a millionaire by
the name of Robert Minton, who himself has been found in contempt of a
court ordered injunction in a recent proceeding in Florida. Minton's
stated aim is the destruction of the church, graphically demonstrated
in a photo of himself which was posted on the Internet and where he
expresses his intentions. (Exhibit 21) Henson's close affiliation with
Minton is also shown in the attached photo which shows Minton handing
money to Henson in front of a Church of Scientology in Florida.
(Exhibit 22)

Summary:

(1) Henson has engaged in religious bigotry-related conduct against
Scientologists for the past five years and has continued to do so even
after his conviction.

(2) Henson has engaged in other criminal conduct in furtherance of his
bigoted hatred of the Scientology religion, its clergy and
parishioners.

(3) Henson has actively requested and encouraged others to engage in
the very same kind of religious bigotry and conduct for which Henson
himself was charged in this case.

(4) During the recent trial in Hemet, California Henson had the
audacity to attempt to intimidate witnesses and to obstruct justice by
attempting to communicate with the jurors in violation of California
Penal Code '' 136.1 and 95 respectively.

(5) Henson has shown no remorse for his crimes which is consistent
with his lack of remorse when previously convicted by a San Jose
federal court jury of willful copyright infringement involving
Scientology scriptures, and his lack of remorse when previously
adjudicated in contempt of a prior federal court order. In short,
Henson is a sociopath who, despite his latest conviction, remains
dedicated to attacking the Scientology religion and its adherents. He
shows no remorse for his conduct and Henson himself has demonstrated
that rehabilitation is not even remotely possible to the point where
it is a certainty that the day his period of incarceration ends, he
will resume his bigotry-based conduct attacking the Scientology
religion and its adherents.

(6) Henson is not merely a sociopath but also practices extortion,
demanding a five million dollar payment from the Scientology religion
to cease his bigoted harassment of Scientologists.

(7) Henson has repeatedly demonstrated his contempt for the law and
for the entire judicial system - both civil and criminal.
